Liberals thrive on widespread fear, pessimism and uncertainty.
But the socialist platform doesn't stand up to the simplest factual tests. To convince
gullible people to vote for liberal candidates and support their agenda, liberals
spread fear, distrust and jealousy wherever they can. Things
like truth and facts and honest debate don't
matter to liberals as much as winning elections and retaining power.
Most liberal Democrats wouldn't know an honest debate if they walked into one. If you engage a liberal in conversation, be prepared for a series of
vituperative cheap shots, half-truths and ad hominem attacks. When confronted with inconvenient facts, most liberals either change the
subject or resort to shouting. Liberal condone and promote abortion because they are apparently unaware of what happens during an abortion, and
don't care to learn about the horrific details.
When conservative politicians speak in churches or invite religious leaders to White House meetings, you'll hear wailing from the left about
an impending theocracy. When left-wing politicians speak in churches, it's called
"community outreach," and there's nothing to worry about.
Socialist fear-mongers are so tiresome because they predict and expect the worst — about the economy, the war, the next election, the weather, and
everything else. Their solutions always involve bigger, stonger government and higher taxes. Liberals don't mind saying anything in
order to get elected or help someone else win an election, and the national news media are very slow to challenge and correct the lies coming from the
political left.
There is a section near the bottom of this page about McCarthyism, which is the word that pops into the news media whenever Congress
investigates someone from the political left.
At the bottom of this page is a subsection about Wendy Davis, who is running for Texas Governor.
The
death of truth is killing America. Lies abound: Men can be women, men can
menstruate and nurse babies, America is racist, the incompetent should be elevated while the
competent get shoved off a cliff. Universities are educating, Trump threatens democracy,
Democrats can fix what's wrong. Kamala is fit to be POTUS, Tim Walz is normal, and DEI isn't
reparations and the theft of merit. A civilization cannot survive without truth. You
cannot pay mediocre and incompetent citizens more than they are worth and still preside over a
healthy economy and culture. You cannot cut off our oil supply, buy it from an enemy who has
sworn to wipe us off the globe, and still expect not to be attacked and starved out of
existence. You cannot tell men they really are women, put tampons in men's bathrooms, and
allow men into women's sports and expect no backlash from normal people who get their intelligence
insulted and their sports careers ruined. You cannot reward the stupid and entitled, then
expect rational thought from "influencers" whose lives mean nothing more to them than how many
followers they have. You cannot fling open our borders for four years while claiming that the
border is closed. You cannot ignore the drugs, criminals, mentally unstable, and violent
people coming across the border, then use OUR money to house, feed, and treat them to health care
and to luxury hotels and not expect crime to soar where they live.
Some
truths for conservatives to remember as things falls apart: Americans are immersed in
an ocean of lies, deceit, and propaganda. The MSM, at the behest of the Marxist-Leninist Lizard
Overlords, gleefully inject their digital fentanyl into our "skulls full of mush," knowing that tens
of millions of zombiesque addicted souls will never recover their sense of inquiry and resolve.
So, for the never woke, the un-woke, the semi-woke, and the drooling woke, I have gathered a short list
of what I believe is the honest ground truth in America today. [...]
The 2020 election was stolen.
Climate hysteria is an absolute hoax.
Deep State actors never get indicted, much less convicted.
America no longer has a southern border with Mexico.
E.V.s are an overpriced, overhyped pipe dream.
America has huge reserves of natural gas and oil still in the ground.
America stupidly burns food crops for fuel.
The MSM are nothing but a propaganda arm of our Marxist-Leninist Lizard Overlords.
The M-LLOs are planning to re-run the COVID playbook this fall, except they will change the excuse to climate hysteria.
The M-LLOs cannot allow Trump to run again, even if it destroys the U.S. legal system.
The U.S. military has already been stripped of most of its strategic reserves of war materiel and fuel.
The M-LLOs desperately want to confiscate your guns.
The M-LLOs' ultimate goal is to swiftly reduce the global population from eight billion to five hundred million souls.
Ending the lies:
Brandon Straka, a gay man and former liberal, heads his Walk Away campaign to get others to quit the Democrat Party.
He tweeted the other day:
["]They lied to you about Donald Trump.
They lied about Brett Kavanaugh.
They lied about children in cages.
They lied about #WalkAway.
They lied about the election outcome.
They lied about the Covington Kids.
They lied about Jussie Smollett.
And yes, oh yes...
They lied about Russian Collusion.["]
Scrolling down the responses, I saw where Kari Lake tweeted, "They lied about Covid origins and vaccines"
and she tweeted, "They lied to you about elections." A less famous person tweeted:
["]They lied about mandates.
They lied about ivermectin.
They are still lying about vaccine injuries.
They lied about CRT.
They lied about Kyle Rittenhouse.
Divorced
From the Truth; Wedded to the Lies They Have Been Told. [Scroll down] Even when presented with irrefutable truth, there remains a delusional
loyalty to the narrative, and the lies we have been told. Think about it:
• 2021 Georgia voting law requires voter ID, liberals lie about "voting rights," and Atlanta loses the baseball All-Star Game
• Prescriptions of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin against COVID-19 are restricted in America and many tens of thousands die, while
other countries employ the safe, effective, and inexpensive medicines to their great benefit. (IVM is on the United Nations' list of "essential medicines.")
• The out-of-control government spending during the COVID pandemic, continuing at an ever-increasing rate under the Biden (*) administration
has resulted in runaway inflation not seen in decades, but we are being gaslighted that "inflation signals a strong economy" — C'mon man, you can afford it!
• Anything related to the vaccine mandates must not be questioned.
• Critical Race Theory has been roundly rejected by most of America's citizens, and we do not want it taught to our children;
liberals and leftist CRT activists lie and insist CRT only teaches real American history
I have witnessed highly intelligent, strong-minded, strong-willed, and successful citizens of our country (in a variety of age groups) de-construct
into an enraged, slobbering, apoplectic mass, quivering with abject emotion at the very notion that what they believe on these issues is wrong.
Why Don't
They Believe Us? Imagine your confusion as the same people who spent three months telling you not only that
masks don't work, but that there are several reasons you shouldn't wear or purchase them, suddenly introduce mask
mandates. We're "following the science," they tell you. This seems to make little sense, but a pandemic is no
time for questions. [...] The same people who told you Brexit would never happen, that Trump would never win, that when he
did win it was because of Russian collusion but also because of racism, that you must follow lockdowns while they don't, that
masks don't work, that masks do work, that social justice protests during pandemic lockdowns are a form of "health
intervention," that ransacking African American communities in the name of fighting racism is a "mostly peaceful" form of
protest, that poor and underserved children locked out of shuttered schools are "still learning," that Jussie Smollett was a
victim of a hate crime, that men are toxic, that there is an infinite number of genders, that COVID couldn't have come from a
lab until maybe it did, that closing borders is racist until maybe it isn't, that you shouldn't take Trump's vaccine, that
you must take the vaccine developed during the Trump administration, that Andrew Cuomo is a great leader, that Andrew Cuomo
is a granny killer, that the number of COVID deaths is one thing and then another ... are the same people telling you now
that the vaccine is safe, that you must take it, and that if you don't, you will be a second-class citizen. Understand
vaccine hesitancy now?
Subterranean Homesick Blues 2021.
Some guy using the handle Cultural Husbandry had a string of tweets about the media's string of lies. [For example,]
Epstein committed suicide
McAfee committed suicide
Biden won the election
COVID came from a wet market
Conservatives are all terrorists
Ivermectin doesn't work
HCQ doesn't work
Biden doesn't have dementia
The jab isn't making anyone ill
Fauci was consistent
Masks work
Cuomo didn't kill old people
Dominion systems were secure
Hunter Biden is an artist
Trump colluded with Russia
Jan 06 was an insurrection
Transwomen are real women
BLM is mostly peaceful [...]
We have got to win the White House back. And this time, fire every political appointee on Inauguration Day, and ditch everybody above
a one-star general or admiral. And then shrink the central government — including the Milley-ized Military — to the point where
a presidential election is less important than a soccer game. And readers know how little I care about soccer.
If covid 19 taught us anything, it is that the government is too big, too powerful, and too stupid to protect America.
The Democrats and Doublespeak.
American politicians, especially Democrats and those on the political left, have mastered the art of doublespeak and have been pumping it out through all available
media outlets for decades. Consider the left's use of the terms:
a) "Liberal" to describe an ideology which, if anything, opposes and goes to extremes to quash diversity of thought and behavior that threatens its authority and definition of "truth."
b) "Progressive" for agendas and policies that have over time effectively killed creativity, rewarded mediocrity and dumbed down our society to maintain control through mandatory, unquestioning conformity.
c) "Inclusiveness" and "diversity" that have spawned an explosion of laws and a burgeoning industry based upon discrimination against and exclusion of major segments of the population according to race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion and other personal attributes.
d) "Justice" not as noble pursuit of equity and fairness based upon law and order and God's ultimate truth, but as an excuse for wanton, violent revenge and unbridled thirst for wealth and power.
e) "Socialist" to soft-soap the harsh, often lethal realities of communism by connoting opportunities to interact and bond with well-intentioned others for presumably positive, altruistic, common good purposes, and
f) Even "Democrat" as a false representation of a political party which, according to emerging evidence and growing public consensus, is being discovered to have been, in a most undemocratic manner, rigging elections in their favor for many years.
I Refuse to Play Make Believe Any
Longer. [Scroll down] If they can make you go along with the idea that a human body with a penis is actually a girl,
in spite of all science saying otherwise, they can make you believe anything. The make believe is designed to destroy the concept of
absolute truth. [...] In preparing to write this article, I asked my Facebook friends what other games of "make believe" we are being
demanded to play. Here are some of their answers:
· That we canceled the Pipeline project for the good of the climate but it's ok that foreign countries produce our oil (like we don't share all the same climate!)
· Just because socialism has failed everywhere else doesn't mean it won't work here, because we'll do it "right." [...]
· A higher minimum wage will lead to more opportunity and prosperity and not inflation.
· That people crossing into the country illegally should not be referred to as illegal.
· That the left can destroy monuments, burn property, destroy businesses, take over municipal and federal buildings but it is called a protest.
· How more gun control leads to less violence.
· That late term abortion is ever necessary to save a woman's life.
· That we should not defend our property, because the thieves need it more than we do.
· That Trump is a white supremacist or a Russian asset.
· That at elementary age children are old enough to give sexual consent.
· That Democrats are for the common man.
· That personal wealth is built on the backs of the working poor.
· That young black men — or any race for that matter — are being hunted down in the streets by police.
· That two million poor immigrants can be admitted into the country to be fully supported at public expense
and it will have no economic impact on the people who are already here.
· That science is an oracle with all the answers instead of a process for exploring questions.
· That banning plastic bags and straws, particularly in cities hundreds of miles inland, will save the lives of sea turtles.
· That you are selfish if you support capitalism and want to see our country prosper.
· That requiring ID to vote disenfranchises minorities. The implication being that minorities
just aren't smart enough to know how to get a driver's license or personal ID.
· We need TSA security and proper identification at our airports, but not at our borders or at polling places.
· That just because I was born white, I'm automatically racist.
· The X and Y chromosome are irrelevant when determining male or female.
· Extended lockdowns were necessary or effective.
A
Thousand Little Lies Replace the 'Big Lie'. A Multitudinous but Noncomprehensive List of their Lies
• Trump is a white supremacist; he admitted so with Charlottesville. Trump incited an insurrection on January 6th in an attempted coup.
• Impeachment was not solely intended to preclude something Trump might do in 2024, by convicting him of something he did not do in 2021.
• Climate change is an existential crisis that requires the elite to have total control. People desire and demand oligarchic rule because rule by correct-thinking "experts" is "democracy in action."
• Riots by Antifa/BLM were "mostly peaceful" demonstrations while the mostly peaceful protest on January 6th was not only a riot but also a coup.
• Ashli Babbitt was not assassinated by an officer shooting from a hidden position when she was not a threat. Her mere presence was violence warranting her death.
• Censorship protects "free speech," and CNN is a news organization.
• Lockdowns and masks work with such efficaciousness the nation needs more of both in this "dark winter" of Biden's discontent.
• Silence is violence; inaction is racism.
• The election was not stolen. Eighty million people voted for Joe Biden who is not in the grips of senescent senility hiding in the basement of the White House surrounded by his new Praetorian (nee National) Guard.
• Executive Orders are a legitimate way to change the Constitution and the nation.
• America needs a 9/11-style investigation and a Truth Commission where conservatives can confess their sins.
The Disinformation Age of the Imbeciles.
[A sample of the lies believed by the left:]
• Michael Brown was a gentle giant unjustifiably gunned down by a racist cop.
• Matthew Shephard was murdered by a hate-filled rightwing homophobe, not an ex-boyfriend in a drug deal gone bad.
• George Floyd did not die primarily from an overdose of fentanyl but was murdered by a racist cop.
• Christine Blasey Ford was a totally credible witness
• Justice Kavanaugh ran a red Solo cup rape line in college that nobody else ever heard of.
• Jussie Smollet had a noose put around his neck and bleach thrown on him by a couple of
MAGA hat wearing racists when he decided to go out for a sandwich in the middle of the night in the middle of an arctic freeze.
• The Antifa/BLM riots this past year were "mostly peaceful protests."
The
Breathtaking Ignorance and Gullibility of America's Elites. [Scroll down] Thus, when combined with an inculcated
inability to reason or generate an original thought, far too many willingly accept any pronouncement or machination proffered by those
in the governing class. Mindlessly believing and acting on these proclamations reinforced the herd mentality of the legions of
vacuous but committed true believers, regardless of how absurd and unbelievable these assertions or conspiracies theories were.
Among the more recent:
• The declaration that gender dysphoria or transgenderism is no longer a serious mental health issue but is, in reality, normal behavior and must be accepted and promoted as, by mere self-declaration; men can be women and women can be men.
• Abortion up to the time of birth must be ceaselessly championed as the entity on the cusp of being born is merely a clump of cells which magically becomes a human being only after exiting the birth canal.
• It is now an irrefutable truth that the United States is, has been, and always will be a systemically racist country that no amount of societal transformation can alter.
• Anyone with white skin regardless of class, circumstances or geography unfairly benefits from "White Privilege."
• In a feat only a Marvel Comics author could accomplish, Donald Trump is not only a treasonous, albeit transparent, Manchurian candidate and puppet of Vladimir Putin, he is also the incarnation of a composite Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.
No Holds Barred at the House Lynch
Session. [Scroll down] Most Americans do not know this, but by law a congressional representative is
permitted to say anything at a hearing, no matter how false, no matter how defamatory, and they cannot be sued for
perjury or defamation. It is like when former Sen. Harry Reid stood in the U.S. Senate chamber during the height
of the 2012 presidential race and falsely accused Mitt Romney of tax evasion. It was a lie, a slander — and
Reid knew it. But Reid also knew that, as long as he spoke his slander within the Senate chamber, he never could be
sued for the defamation. This unique protection is called the "Legislative Privilege," rooted in the Speech and Debate
Clause of the United States Constitution (Art. I, § 6, Cl. 1). By law, legislators may say
absolutely anything they want, and by law they cannot be sued or prosecuted for any of it, as long as they say it within the
chamber or otherwise as part of the legislative process. As an attorney of 26 years and a law professor of 16, who
practices and teaches this, I know about the legislative privilege. But few other Americans do.
We Have Entered a Looking-Glass
World. We live in an age characterized by belief — that is, belief in things that do not exist, belief in complete figments
of unanchored imagination, abstractions that have no contact with or bearing on reality. Call it the age of irrealism, of pervasive
virtuality, of estrangement from the objective world. Consider several popular notions or beliefs, memes as they are sometimes called,
which operate as delusions erroneously confirmed as fact.
• There are more than two sexes, biology notwithstanding. Indeed, there are "57 Varieties" of gender.
Also, in contradiction, gender is a "social construct."
• Islam is a "religion of peace."
• The university campus is aswarm with female victims of rape and sexual assault.
• The planet is entering a carboniferous period as temperatures rise to unsustainable levels.
• There is an organized and historical campaign in the Judeo-Christian West of men against women known as the "Patriarchy."
• There is a vast movement of White Supremacists ruthlessly oppressing those of other races and creeds.
• America is bedeviled by institutional racism.
• There is no such thing as truth.
• Looting, vandalism and physical violence are legitimate forms of civil protest.
• The value of people derives from their membership in a group rather than from their status as unique individuals.
We have entered the looking-glass world. None of these beliefs correspond to reality, as every sensible person knows.
Gold
Is the Harbinger of Scarcity. Taking other people's stuff by force of the state, which is socialism, was
discredited by the collapse of communism in 1991 and more recently the implosion of Venezuela. So, the Left needed
another organising principle and settled upon global warming. Global warming allows the Left to paint the future as a
dystopian one of shortages and great suffering. Thus we are told that we will have to give up meat, live mostly on
beans with the occasional insect for animal protein. You may laugh and say that is not going to happen, but the Left
has been maligning a trace gas in the atmosphere at only a little above survival levels, for over 30 years. If society
can accept one fairy story it will accept any number of them. In fact some people are unsure of things they can see
with their own eyes, something as simple as there being only two genders.
On Destroying America.
We are lied to, deceived, and manipulated constantly to believe what isn't so. [...] I can remember several generations back
when common sense was common. No longer. Criminals are treated as victims. White people are labeled as
oppressors and must apologize for it. Deranged people who need help are ignored, treated as normal, or just doing their
thing. And they are everywhere, creating chaos, as designed and expected.
Are
there any Democrats in elected office anywhere willing to say that Stacey Abrams wasn't the "real winner" in Georgia last
year? I can't believe we're still doing this in September 2019, nearly a year after her defeat by Brian Kemp,
following numerous critiques of her claim, and months after Abrams herself stopped insisting that she won. "I have no
empirical evidence that I would have achieved a higher number of votes" if everyone whom she believes should have been
allowed to vote had done so, she told the NYT in April. She was questioning the basic fairness of the election, she
stressed, not necessarily the outcome. So why are Democratic presidential candidates still not only questioning the
outcome but insisting forthrightly that she won?
Rejection
of Moral Absolutes Plagues the Modern Left. [Scroll down] Thus, it should come as little surprise that
those who can't tell the difference between who is a male and who is a female would choose to fight crime with euphemisms;
still believe that "Hands Up, Don't Shoot!" really happened; still think man-made climate change is a real problem with a
political solution; believe that widespread institutional racism still exists in America; and would conclude that "Seattle
Has Figured Out How to End the War on Drugs." [...] Thus, the nastiness in Seattle is only the tip of the iceberg.
Liberals think Seattle is doing a good job with criminal drug-users, that there are more than two sexes, that marriage is
whatever we define it to be, that killing the unborn is merely a "choice," and so on, because the Left in America
long ago abandoned the idea that some things are settled for all time.
The
Left and Its Dishonest 'Truths'. I'm convinced that one day in the future, people will be studying how it was
that the Left was so successful in manipulating language and redefining words. How was it that they were able to lie to
the American people, while at the same time appearing not to lie, leaving them with no shred of doubt that they were being
told the truth? Their ability to lie, and get away with doing so, is like a superhuman comic book power. They use
this power with the same level of ease with which most of us breathe.
Is
the Democratic Party possessed? [Scroll down] The question then is, why do Democratic voters like to be
lied to so much? Do they not perceive it as a lie? Are they poor at discerning lies? Do they not care about
lying in general?
Phonies on Parade.
Consider: Elizabeth Warren claimed to be an Indian. She isn't. Kamala Harris claims to have been a
"progressive prosecutor." She wasn't. Amy Klobuchar holds herself out as "Minnesota Nice." She isn't.
Klobuchar's mistreatment of staff members is legendary. In 2015, Harry Reid, then the Senate Majority Leader, felt the
need to counsel Ms. Nice about it. Kirsten Gillibrand posed as a moderate throughout her time as a congresswoman
from a moderate to conservative district in upstate New York. Once elected to the Senate, she abandoned moderation.
Now, it's nearly impossible to get to her left. Cory Booker is a fabulist. He used an imaginary friend —
"T-Bone" — to tell self-serving stories in furtherance of his image.
Hoax
Victimology — and the Search for the Black Cat at Midnight. The Jussie Smollett matter is
riveting. The rush to judgment is exactly the hallmark of the Left — rushing to convict Brett M. Kavanaugh
based on lies, [...] lies, and more [...] lies. Rushing to convict the Duke lacrosse players. Rushing to convict
the rapist of Lena Dunham for a rape that never happened. Rushing to convict a Columbia University student, even as he
was shamed and disgraced publicly by "The Mattress Girl," with Columbia University ultimately having to settle with him.
Rushing to convict the University of Virginia fraternity. Rushing to convict the people accused by Al Sharpton over
Tawana Brawley. Rushing to believe the Ferguson Michael Brown "Hands up, Don't Shoot!" lie and racing to convict a
good police officer. Rushing to convict more good police officers in Baltimore over the Freddie Gray lies.
And the Trayvon Martin lies. Rushing to convict Nick Sandmann.
Yes, Women Can Lie. [Scroll
down] Leftism is, and has always been, about trying to persuade the general public to accept as truth things that are
objectively false, from Marxist economics ("It works even though it never has") to the New Soviet Man ("We can breed
selfishness out of the human character") to Lysenkoism ("Genes are a myth!"). In current times, we should have shut that
[stuff] down the minute leftists told us that asthma inhalers were a greater threat to the polar icecaps than the private
jets of millionaires (let's not forget that the CFC inhaler ban was passed under George W. Bush — another example
of Republicans going along with leftist insanity so as not to be slammed as Hitlers by the people who slam us as Hitlers anyway).
And now, it's become a litmus test that to not be condemned as a Hitler, one must accept that a man who thinks he's a woman "on the
inside" is actually a full-fledged biological woman. That's what the left does. Like cult leaders, leftists are not
content to believe their own nonsense. They must force you to believe it, too. Because that's how you know you've
broken someone, that's how you know you can bend them to your will... when you can persuade them to see what isn't there, and accept
as truth that which is objectively false.
The Leftist Fake
Reality. It's hard to talk to leftists because they are so full of falsehoods. The economy was horrible
under Obama because Bush messed it up. The economy is great under Trump because of Obama. No one lost their health
insurance because of Obamacare. Iran is not going to get the atom bomb due to Obama. DACA was constitutional. Trump
colluded with Russia. Hillary didn't collude with Russia. All the global warming models are right. It's ok for
leftists to silence speech they don't like. No matter what happens with climate or weather it's all due to global warming. Even
though Trump keeps winning he's an idiot. Protecting illegals who commit serious crimes in the US is a good thing to do.
Lying for
Money and Power. The Democrats are doing the same thing to Donald Trump that they did to Ronald Reagan —
questioning his sanity, claiming he is senile and unstable, denying his fitness for office. There are two differences:
the Democratic Party controls the press more monolithically today than it did [during] the 1980s, and the Democrats hate Trump
even more than they hated Reagan — something I never expected to see.
The Media
That Cried Wolf. "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is one of many of Aesop's fables. [...] The moral is that nobody
believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth. How is a twenty-five-hundred-year-old story relevant today?
Let's rewrite the fable bringing it up to date. The shepherd boy today is the collection of social justice warriors
throughout the media, academia, and entertainment worlds, basically the core of the modern Democrat Party.
When
Truth Becomes Obscene. The most appalling and troubling spectacle of the American Left's bag of tricks is their
refusal to simply tell the truth. [...] The American Left's entire political discourse is built on false language.
Lies. Trickery. Fallacies. Where words do not mean what they actually mean. Where one cannot actually
state the nature of an issue, in plain and common language, without being called a racist, white supremacist, fascist,
homophobic, misogynist knuckle-dragger that deserves to have their head bashed with a threaded lead pipe. Even though
they are uncomfortable, facts are what we must have to survive as a country.
The Wages of Inversion. We live
in an age in which things are no longer what they are supposed to be. Words have come to denote the opposite of what they signify. [...]
Thus a blood-saturated religion is rinsed for public consumption as the "religion of peace." An insurgent army of fascist brownshirts
calls itself Antifa. "Inclusion" has come to mean the exclusion of those who do not conform to a prescribed ideology.
"Diversity" is an antonymic synonym for monolithic groupthink. "Affirmative action" arms racism in the guise of anti-racism.
Timely news and commentary:
The
Last Lie? It has become a reflex reaction. Tap the Biden administration on the
knee with a rubber hammer and it kicks out a lie. And it has never mattered to the likes of
Alejandro Mayorkas and John Kirby and Karen Jean-Pierre that their lies are clearly and obviously
are lies. The border is secure. Hunter will never be pardoned. Joe is mentally
fit. Dumping trillions of made-up dollars into the economy did not cause inflation. The
"vaccines" were completely "safe and effective." There was no government censorship
program. Over the past years, they perfected the public injection of ignorance,
responding — if questioned — with even more lies or, better yet, even more
words and words and words, sound and fury, signifying nothing. And they have gotten away with
it, in part because the media has helped them and in part because the public was beaten into
submission during the pandemic response and in part because lies can be comforting, if you already
agree with them. And because deciding to stand up and having the nerve to say "well, that's
wrong, I can see it with my own eyes" invariably led to pariahood.
The
Destruction of the Government's Credibility. It's important to pause and consider
this appalling fact: in most cases, it is a crime for Americans to lie to government officials, but
government officials may generally lie to the public with impunity. Anyone who has seen a
criminal interrogation or any kind of negotiation involving agents of the United States is familiar
with the government's loose relationship with the truth. Anyone who watched James Comey and
John Brennan substantiate Hillary Clinton's Russia collusion hoax knows that the FBI and CIA have
no problem lying to the American people. Anyone who witnessed fifty-one "Intelligence
experts" falsely labeling Hunter Biden's incriminating laptop "Russian disinformation" knows that
the Deep State has no qualms about defrauding the public and subverting democratic elections.
If regular Americans lied to the American government the way government agents regularly lie to the
American people, they would be serving decades in prison. Instead, liars such as Comey,
Brennan, Clinton, Strzok, Weissmann, McCord, and other co-conspirators get book deals and lifetime
sinecures from taxpayer-subsidized think-tanks.
Actors
and Singers Make Comedic Political Analysts. Leading up to the election, some
celebrities promised they would leave the United States in the event of another Trump
victory. Barbra Streisand, Cher, Sharon Stone, and Ellen DeGeneres are among them.
Ellen is in Cotswold, but we're still waiting on news from the others. [...] Even though we don't
actually care either way if Miley Cyrus leaves the country, the threat to move is usually
disingenuous and likely meant to get attention. And even when it's not, it doesn't really
matter at all. These millionaires can still keep multiple properties across the United States
and return whenever they wish.
Some
of the lies the mainstream media and liberal politicians are demanding we believe.
There is an epidemic of white police officers killing unarmed black men, we must block the puberty
of children born in the wrong bodies to prevent them from killing themselves, the Russians control
Trump through a sex blackmail operation, the Covid vaccine prevents infection, millions or billions
will die from starvation and harsh weather from climate change, there's no way a Covid virus could
have escaped from a lab, mass migration improves societies with no trade-offs, it's best for
addicts if we give them hard drugs to use in special sites downtown, we need the government to
fight misinformation online in order to save democracy, Biden is sharper than ever, Kamala is 100%
prepared to be president, and anyone who disagrees is racist, sexist, and/or fascist. While
many Americans are increasingly and at least partially aware that all of the above are lies, we are
still a long way from coming to grips with their enormity, their monstrous consequences, and the
totalitarian ways in which the mainstream news media, many employers, and governments demanded that
we believe them. [Tweet with video clip]
Call
Obama's bluff. Barack Obama derides the radical extremes of our two-party system,
placing all the blame on Republicans (projection) for actions and behaviors perpetrated by him, Joe
Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Deep State moles that Barack Obama has planted throughout the
administrative and bureaucratic state. But with his call to "pluralism," an opportunity has
been presented to (again) reach out to "normies" in the Democrat party and to isolate "the
extremists" on the radical left. Donald Trump should point out that many Republicans crossed
the aisle to vote for Joe Biden's Cabinet picks. Lloyd Austin, current secretary of defense,
was confirmed with a vote of 93-2. Would Senate Democrats wish to work with Donald Trump by
granting the same bipartisan civility to Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard,
and his other picks that Republicans showed when confirming Alejandro Mayorkas (78-13)?
Democrats
know they have to lie to the public about their policies to win elections. The media
and other Democrats say that Republicans rely on "low information voters" to win elections, but it is
they who intentionally hide the truth about their policies from the public. It is they who will
fight tooth and nail to keep out Trump's reformers and to block spending cuts. The lies are endless:
The border is closed and secure.
Crime is down
Trump colluded with Russia
Trump is Hitler, a dictator.
Trump supports Nazis and white supremacists.
Trump and his supporters are racists, sexists, xenophobes and homophobes.
Trump wants a nationwide ban on abortions.
Republicans are banning books.
Inflation is transitional.
Inflation is caused by COVID, gouging, and Russia. Democrats never blame themselves.
Masks stop COVID.
Social distancing stops COVID.
Plexiglas stops COVID.
The Wuhan lab as the source is a disproven conspiracy.
Biden is sharp as a tack.
There is no evidence Biden knew about or participated in the Biden family kickback business.
The Hunter laptop is Russian disinformation.
The economy is strong.
Biden won't pardon Hunter because he is for law and order.
The Justice department is impartial.
The science is settled that humans and our use of natural resources cause temperatures to rise.
The
Lies of Joe Biden and his Lying Enablers. Biden essentially pardoned himself by
exempting all of Hunter's crimes since 2014, in which Hunter had enriched the Biden crime family
cartel due to 'the big guy's' opportune calls and appearances with foreign crooks. Joe knew
that only a silenced Hunter would save the Biden syndicate after January 20, 2025.
Certainly, he feared and remembered how reckless Hunter could be, even when "clean" —
grifting donors as a "paintbrush in the mouth" artist to show his father-president that he was
capable of bringing down the entire clan. Biden also knew of Hunter's laptop bitter
references to the "Big Guy" and Mr. "Ten-percent," who grabbed Hunter's grifted money and
free stuff, but never appreciated Hunter's dirty, bagman role that made them all rich. Recall
Hunter's own lawyers at one point threatened to call in President Joe Biden and embarrass him by
putting him on the stand to testify in Hunter's tax cheating case — a threat that
prompted a scared DOJ to craft its original sweetheart deal. So, Biden was terrified of a
loose-cannon, bigmouth Hunter.
Ignorant
Jane Fonda Tells Bill Maher She Has No Idea What Far Left Policies Are. Good old
'Hanoi' Jane Fonda recently appeared on Bill Maher's podcast and played dumb on the topic of fare
left policies. When Maher suggested that the extreme left is one of the reasons that Joe
Biden lost the election, Fonda stupidly asks him 'who is the far left?' as if she doesn't
know. When Maher uses the example of leftists saying that men can get pregnant, she claims to
have never heard anyone say this. Maher tells her that she likely watches media that never
tells her any of this, which is likely correct. Fonda is probably MSNBC's number one fan.
[Tweets with video clips.] Jane Fonda knows exactly what the far left is. She has been
a part of it for decades.
The
Much Awaited End of KJP. In a 1977 release, the Talking Heads included a lyric in one
of their songs that somehow foresaw the approach to be employed by White House press secretary
Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP): "You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything." In the view
of many observers, the daily double-talk from the White House podium by KJP came on like a come-on
from a carnival barker: instead of presenting straightforward, unvarnished truths from the briefing
room lectern, listeners were subjected to a daily diet of kaleidoscope logic. [...] Consequently,
KJP and the White House press corps made bank on the general public not weighing how much they did
not know and what was being omitted. But American news consumers, after years of confronting
reality in their daily lives, experienced enormous living cost increases and faced massive spikes
in crime.
An
epidemic of lies. The list of lies they tell us keeps growing. From Bill
Clinton's assertion that he never had sex with Monica Lewinsky, to Obama's claim that if Americans
liked their health care plans and doctors they could keep them under Obamacare, to Hillary Clinton
stating that she never knowingly sent or received classified information over unauthorized
electronic devices, to Joe Biden's seemingly-endless lies, exaggerations, and plagiarizing.
In the latter case it got so bad that Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post quit counting.
Kamala
Harris' Internal Polls Showed She Was Doomed From the Start. Kamala's campaign was
doomed, and everybody within the campaign pretty much knew it from the start. For all the
JOY!, the WEIRD fact that the campaign insiders never acknowledged publicly and even hid from
donors was that their internal polls never showed Kamala ahead. In fact, their hopes lay in
public-facing polls that showed the race tight or Harris even ahead. [Advertisement]
[Tweet] Campaigns are expected to spin, but from the sounds of things the Harris campaign was
more a con job than a serious attempt to win the presidency. [Tweet] Having raised
$1.4 billion and spending even more than that, all the happy talk given to donors was pure BS.
The consultants got paid astronomical sums, media companies raked in the dough, and Democrats who
contributed their money were fleeced.
Republicans
Must Defend Matt Gaetz To End The Use Of Salacious Lies As A Political Weapon. Before
marrying in 2021, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was known to be a braggadocious
libertine. No conservative wants to defend such behavior, and so many on the Right are
remaining silent as Gaetz is accused of also engaging in criminal conduct, paying prostitutes, and
having sex with a minor. The claims against Gaetz are but another information operation,
however, mirroring the ones that previously targeted Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. And
this pattern will continue unabated unless Americans unflinchingly condemn the tactic —
no matter the target. We should have learned this lesson from Donald Trump's first
presidential run and time in office. From Crossfire Hurricane, to the pee-tape dossier, to
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, unsupported and unbelievable accusations leaked to
the public hampered Trump's ability to advance his agenda. Time and again the charges proved
unfounded, and yet in advance of the 2024 election, the lawfare continued. The country,
however, had wised up by then and recognized the various criminal and civil charges leveled against
Trump for what they were: an effort to interfere in the election.
Media
Lie About Pete Hegseth's Christian Faith To Falsely Smear Him As Racist. Not taking
the hint from Americans' waning trust in their work, the corporate media have decided to further
tank their credibility by launching an anti-Christian info op against Trump's Secretary of Defense
nominee, Pete Hegseth. The Associated Press (AP) kicked off the weekend-long vilification
campaign Friday evening, publishing a hit piece centered on one of the Army veteran's Christian
tattoos. Authored by Tara Copp, Michelle Smith, and Jason Dearen, the article attempts to tie
Hegseth to "white supremacist groups" by claiming his "Deus Vult" bicep tattoo — which
is Latin for "God wills it" — is "associated" with such organizations.
Some
Democrats Are Admitting They Lied Before The Election. [Scroll down]
Before the election, no media leftist would dare to have said anything of the sort. It was
all, "Crime is down," even though the books had been cooked by not having the statistics from the
largest Democrat-controlled cities in the country where the crime problem lives. They knew
it, but they insisted otherwise anyway because they wanted to win. Illegal aliens committed
fewer crimes than we stinking Americans, they insisted, even though the collection of data on the
immigration status of criminals was forbidden in blue states, making it impossible to prove.
That also made it impossible to disprove, which was the point. "Migrants are a boon to the
economy," they cried while demanding more money from the federal government to help support these
bipedal economic stimulus packages that were starting to bankrupt city budgets with their "economic growth."
Why
It's Too Late for Democrat Postmortems. Propaganda was invented to serve only one
purpose: to divide. It divides us by the repetition of a lie: that some of us are more
special than "those people over there." The supremacy of propaganda convinces some of us that
we know better than those people over there — and if we can just get rid of those people
over there, we can suddenly cure all of our problems. This is communism, leftism, supremacy,
bigotry, and propaganda in a nutshell. And the more any tyrants stress their population, the
more that population is brain-injured to begin to believe it. Democrats can't tell this truth
about themselves to themselves or to the population. They can't even approach this
truth because it is so venal. This venality must blame others to survive.
The
Blind Eye. This election displayed our national revulsion to untruth; we don't like
to be lied to. We were told that the economy is just fine, but the truth was staring us all
in the face every time we bought gas or groceries or paid the rent. We can tell that the
"education" we're spending a fortune on has produced students who can't read or compute and know
nothing about the configuration of our government. It's obvious to any breathing person that
our crime rate is soaring, that our nation is being invaded, and yet the left smiled in our faces
and told us everything is hunky-dory. No change in "messaging" is going to pretty-up the pig
enough to make us vote for it.
Russiagate
Mysteries. President Trump's stunning election victory presents us with an
opportunity — almost certainly the last one — to resolve the remaining
mysteries surrounding Russiagate. We examine some of the most pressing issues that need to be
addressed. [Video clip]
What
is wrong with California? Throughout the fabricated Russia hoax, [Adam] Schiff was
part and parcel of that massive lie perpetrated on the American people re: Trump's alleged
conspiracy with Russia. It was all made-up by Hillary Clinton and her cabal of thugs.
Every day throughout the criminally illegal persecution of Trump, Schiff appeared nightly on the
cable news propaganda sites to lie to the public. He said, night after night, that he had
"seen the evidence" that Trump had colluded with Russia. Not only was Schiff not legally
allowed to reveal what he had ostensibly learned in the SCIF during all those secret meetings
impervious to listening by spies, he committed so many breaches of the law, of the Constitution and
of common decency, that his district promoted him to the Senate. That is a travesty. He
was eventually censured by the House for his part in the hoax. This man should be in prison
for both perjury and treason.
Fight!
Fight! Fight! Vs. Fake, Fake, Fake. [Scroll down] On top
of all these life-and-death issues, one weighs most heavily: will the struggle for truth
survive? Will Americans beat back a Deep State committed to mass censorship? Will
Americans dig their heels into the ground and defend free speech? What we have learned over
the last four years while the Biden-Harris administration attacked dissenting opinion as
impermissible "disinformation" is that the death of the First Amendment means the proliferation of
everything that is fake. When scientific debate is censored, we get fake pandemics and fake
vaccines. When allegations of election fraud are treated as crimes, we get fake votes.
When political speech is vilified and the right to assemble is ignored, we get fake
insurrections. When Democrat elites overrule primary voters, we get fake presidential
nominees. When ill-prepared vice presidents are incapable of answering simple questions, we
get fake accents! Because Democrats and their corporate news allies have declared war on free
speech, all we get is fake news. And in a world where fake news dominates the headlines,
assassination attempts against President Trump are erased from history.
You
Are Forewarned: If Kamala Harris Loses, the Democrats Will Try to Kill Free Speech
ASAP. Upon being badly trounced in a national election, members of the losing party
have one of two choices: They can be introspective, take a long, hard look at themselves in
the mirror, and undergo an honest, no-holds-barred critique of all their missteps, poor tactics,
and ineffective messaging. Or they can lie to themselves. Candid, unflinching
self-analysis is torturous. It puts you face-to-face with your own failings; there's nowhere
to hide, nowhere else to point the finger. And in a presidential campaign with thousands of
people, hundreds of regions, and countless moving parts, it also requires you to hold your team
members accountable. Which is why lying is so popular! Whenever the media talks
about lying, they always portray it in a negative light. (What gives?) Because when you really
stop and think about it, lying is a GREAT way to make people believe something that's totally untrue!
WH
edit of Biden's 'garbage' remark about Trump supporters breached stenographers' protocol.
The White House press office engaged in a "breach of protocol" when it altered the transcript of
President Biden's "garbage" remark about Donald Trump's supporters Tuesday over the objection of
the administration's stenographers' office, according to an internal email. Stenographers
heard the 81-year-old president tell a Latino group — in response to a comedian's
comments about Puerto Rico being "a floating island of garbage" during Trump's rally at Madison
Square Garden on Sunday — that "the only garbage I see floating out there is his
supporters." The White House press office, however, added an apostrophe to "supporter's,"
suggesting that Biden was only attacking the comedian. "If there is a difference in
interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it
independently," the supervisor of the White House stenographers fumed in an email to the press
office, obtained by the Associated Press.
Disinformation:
The Dark Sword of Tyranny. [Scroll down] The other edge of the
disinformation sword is the government directly pushing false narratives. The direct
assertion of lies requires more coordinated support, especially from the media. A prime
example was when the government wanted to spy on Trump and his campaign in the phony Russia
collusion hoax. The FBI hired operatives to write false reports, leaked stories to media
outlets they controlled, and then packaged it all together as the 'evidence' to obtain spy
warrants. Safe and effective vaccines is another example of a false narrative. No one
in government speaks of these, presumably because the government never lies.
Kamala's
Inane Talking Points. As Vice President Kamala Harris slips in the polls, the
Democratic National Committee/Harris Campaign/mainstream media fusion talking points become even
more absurd. [Advertisement] Claiming that J.D. Vance and Donald Trump were "weird" did
not work — especially given the genuinely odd behavior of vice presidential candidate
Tim Walz and would-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff. [The same advertisement again]
[Unrelated video clip] Nor was the next Harris meme convincing that the frenetic and non-stop
Trump was somehow "exhausted," "senile," and "confused." Voters know the workdays of the younger
Harris are usually far shorter — or sometimes not workdays at all. But Harris also
falsely claimed the physically and mentally challenged Biden was, in her words, "absolutely
authoritative" and "very bold and vibrant." [Advertisement] Now Harris asserts that Trump
is a "fascist," a "dictator," and "unfit" for office. But this new talking point will also
not stop the Harris campaign's hemorrhaging — and for a variety of reasons.
Meanwhile,
Back at the Mounting Nervous Breakdown. This election isn't just about a set of
policy preferences or issues where reasonable people can disagree. The facts are out there
and the tragedy is that a large portion of the American electorate has been fooled, propagandized
and manipulated. This is because the American people are for the most part politically
unsophisticated and are easily manipulated to believe things that are not true. Democracy, by
design, is messy and the politically ill-informed have the same number of votes as the politically
savvy and engaged. [...] Streams of lies are not just lies to be fact-checked, but an accelerant
that impacts people's brains, causing moral disengagement, allowing people to abandon their own
decision-making and obey. This is what the left thrives on. It's what the media feed on.
A
Long List of Leftist Lies. Why do Democrats lie? I don't think they have any
choice. The policies of the left are so damaging that those who promulgate them are averse to
speaking of them openly. Can you imagine if they did? "Hey! We plan on keeping the
border wide open so that those 435,000 convicted criminals we've let in over the course of the last
few years will be just the tip of the iceberg! And we want to force you to sell your
gasoline-powered car and go into hock for an E.V. you can't afford and don't want. We're
going to tax unrealized capital gains and probably collapse the stock market, convince your
6-year-old son to chemically sterilize himself, and force your daughter to share locker rooms with
boys in her high school! How's that sound?" Some of these lies were quickly debunked,
such as "Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary." Others, such as "Hunter Biden's
laptop had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation," have likely changed the course of American
history. [...] These falsehoods are all part of a well coordinated propaganda campaign being waged
on the American people by the left.
We
Are Proven Correct. For years now there has been a long-promoted talking point in the
press that crimes have gone down in this country during the Biden years. This claim has been
in defiance of surges of violence in places like New York and D.C., the drugs and affiliated crimes
with the mounting homeless problem in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the ongoing reality of
store chains closing locations due to perpetual shoplifting going unaddressed and unabated.
Yet the press has tried to sell us on the concept that things have been calming across the nation
and that claims of criminality spreading is the result of Republican doom-saying for the sake of
the election. Much like the rosy fable of the economy being strong, despite the financial
pains felt by so many, the press promise of a safer nation continues. It was even a feature
during the presidential debate when Donald Trump had to haggle over this, not with his opponent
Kamala Harris, but with moderator David Muir. It has all been a statistical ruse.
This is what lawyers are for. Trudeau
claims under oath that Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson are funded by Russia. OTTAWA,
Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed U.S media personality
Tucker Carlson and popular Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson are being funded by a
Russian-state-funded news site, blaming the foreign nation for "amplifying the chaos" surrounding
the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests. Trudeau made the claim Wednesday during under oath
testimony at the Foreign Interference Commission, after he was asked about Russia's alleged role in
the Freedom Convoy. Trudeau said, while speaking in French, that he "certainly agrees that
Russia amplified the chaos, disagreements and divisions in Canada surrounding the convoy."
Trudeau added that "Russian activities related to propaganda, disinformation and misinformation are
quite constant in our social media and within Canadian democracy." He then claimed that it was
"Russian propaganda" that "greatly amplified" opposition to the COVID shots which was spread by
"right-wing media."
Many
Little Lies. The Democrats' campaign against Donald Trump has been characterized by
so many lies that it is impossible to respond to all of them. [...] Another lie is not directed at
Trump, but about inflation. The ads promise that Harris will be "going after price-gougers."
But her handlers must know that only the government printing press causes inflation. If
"price-gougers" caused inflation, they would have caused it during the Trump administration.
Harris and her Justice Department have not prosecuted or even identified any such
price-gougers. Every election cycle, all Democrat campaigns for federal office claim that the
Republican is going to "cut Social Security." This year is no exception, as that allegation
has been used against Trump and probably every GOP senator and congressman. But no one has
ever cut or attempted to cut Social Security. Social Security payments will continue to
increase every year as long as the government can print, borrow, or confiscate money.
They
Are Lying To You About Hurricane Helene. After what we have just witnessed, how will
anyone be able to trust those that are running the country ever again? Hurricane Helene's
extremely unusual journey left an immense trail of destruction that was more than 500 miles
long, and there are many communities that were completely and utterly wiped out. Authorities
are telling the mainstream media that only a few hundred people died, and so that is what the
mainstream media is telling us. But those that are on the ground in the areas that got hit
the hardest are telling us a completely different story. For example, one woman in Asheville,
North Carolina says that thousands of people are missing and that there are still "bodies hanging
from trees they haven't gotten to yet" [...] Another local woman is claiming that there are more
than 900 bodies at a local hospital in Asheville which still have not been identified[.] [...]
Please keep in mind that Asheville is just one of the cities that was absolutely devastated by this
storm. There are hundreds of others that are dealing with dead bodies as well.
Walz's
Answer on Basic Question Demonstrates Why He and Harris Shouldn't Be Allowed Anywhere Near
Power. If you needed another example of what passes for intellect over on MSNBC, look
no further than the Vice Presidential debate Tuesday night. While everything Walz said made
less sense than the design of a platypus, let's just dissect one question that should have been
easy to address, but turned into a stream of verbal diarrhea scientists will never be able to make
sense out of. At issue was the lie Walz has told for years about how he was in Hong Kong for
the Tiananmen Square massacre, which he was not. There was no reason for the lie, at least
nothing practical. China is gigantic, Hong Kong is nowhere near Tiananmen Square and was
controlled by Great Britain at the time, so it wasn't even really part of China. But by
putting himself near the mix, Walz was doing what he's done his whole life — trying to
get implied importance by proxy. Just like the lies he's told about his military service, Tim
usually doesn't come right out and say it. He implies [...] something knowing most listeners
would draw a false conclusion off that. He didn't lie, per se, he just helped people draw
the wrong conclusion. Bill Clinton pioneered this.
Tim,
Don't Try to Pass Off a Lie by Saying You "Misspoke." Much has already been written
about Tuesday night's debate between the two Vice Presidential hopefuls. Tim Walz has had a
long love affair with China. Below I will address his attempt to excuse his lie during the
debate about being in China during the Tiananmen Square "protests." Not only did he try to minimize
the lie, but he attempted to pass off the murder of innocents as "democracy protests," without
mentioning that his Chinese friends used tanks to massacre innocent, non-violent protesters so that
others would get the message. Younger readers may not be fully aware of what the Chinese did
to their own people including many young students in 1989, in what has come to be called the
Tiananmen Square massacre. It was just one part of a larger protest movement that the Chinese
Communists brutally repressed.
Did
You Notice That a Huge Kamala-Biden 2024 Narrative Got Obliterated Today? What's the
main argument you hear from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or any surrogate: it was chaos under
Donald Trump? That's one of the go-to lines that has been shouted incessantly, yet no one
cares. Kamala Harris isn't pulling away, and she's projected to be the worst-performing
Democrat ever among union and working-class voters. The economic message isn't resonating,
likely because voters aren't stupid; her domestic plan is a carbon copy of Joe Biden's.
Kamala is the incumbent. She cannot run away from it. But we're engulfed in a mess
right now, and the Kamala-Joe duo is asleep at the switch.
Mark
Cuban: "The Mainstream Media Truly Leans Right". While we could write pages of
sarcastic and pointed commentary surrounding the fact that Democrats (the politicians and their
proxies... and narrative-repeating useful-idiots) turned the gaslighting-amplifier up to '11' in
recent weeks (since Kamala went from worst VP approval ever to the great white/black/Asian hope to
save democracy), we have decided to allow one of those 'proxies' to summarize the farce in six
simple words. Billionaire tech chap Mark Cuban sauntered on to CNBC's morning show set this
morning to remind America just how bad Trump is and just how awesome the 'new' Kamala is.
When
corruption becomes standard operating procedure. Nancy Pelosi is telling us that
Harris "won" the nomination, even though it is universally known that the president was kicked to
the curb after receiving about 14 million primary votes, whereas Kamala Harris received
zero. Yet here we are with a candidate for the highest office in the land, who jettisoned her
boss in what could be called a coup d'état and took his place on the ballot. All of
this was done with the full compliance of the ruling class of demagogues. Then, to add
further contempt for the public's intelligence, and more distortion of reality, the radical Dems
are proclaiming that Trump will destroy democracy. Our country has never seen anything quite
like this cartel of corruption!
Dem
Congressional Candidate Derek Tran Claims He's a Decorated Iraq Vet; Records Say
Otherwise. California Democrat Derek Tran is running for Congress as a "decorated
Veteran" and proudly says that he enlisted at age 18 "to fight in Iraq, serving the country that
had given him and his family so much." [...] Based on Tran's comments, it's clear he intends for
voters to believe that he served overseas, deployed to a combat zone, and received many medals as a
result of that service. According to Army records obtained by RedState as the result of a
Freedom of Information Act request, though, Tran's service was entirely stateside and he was not
part of Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom, but instead was part of Operation
Noble Eagle as a "Culinary Specialist." [...] According to the military records RedState reviewed,
the two medals Tran received are the Army Achievement Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. [...]
Yes, he was given a medal for marching in a parade in Dorchester, MA.
CNN
gets all puppet-y again. As for the people who always play the fear card, along with
the race card, that is most of the media and other Democrats: They have been telling people
for decades that the Earth doesn't have much time left if we don't give up oil, coal, natural gas,
and all the conveniences they provide. We have been told we would kill people if we went to
work, school, or church without masks and if we got within six feet of someone. We are
falsely told that millions of women would die if somehow state legislators set abortion
limits. The public has been lied to for over eight years that Trump is a dictator and a
Russian pawn. The public is lied to that Trump is an isolationist. It is not
isolationist to get peace accords in the Mideast, to keep energy prices low throughout the world,
and to tell NATO members to spend more on defense to help protect themselves. The public has
been lied to for seven years that Trump supports Nazis and white supremacists. The public is
lied to that Trump politicized the Justice Department and will jail his political opponents and
journalists. The public is lied to that Trump will destroy the middle class and only supports
the rich. The public is lied to that democracy will end if he is elected and there will be no
more elections.
Don't
Believe Your Lying Eyes: FBI Says Crime Is Down. By now you're probably used to
being told that what you think you can see with your own eyes isn't true. Instead, you should
trust the experts. Did you notice changes in your child's behavior after vaccination?
No, you didn't. The experts say vaccines are totally completely 100 percent honest to goodness
safe. Do you think you're spending a lot more on groceries today than you were when Joe Biden
took office in 2020? Well, you think wrong, and you can't add up the dollars you've spent,
because the experts say President Biden has inflation under control, and it's only stupid MAGA right
wingers that claim eggs were not always $5 a dozen. You might even be foolish enough to think
you've noticed more violent and dangerous behavior, like robbery, shoplifting, or assault out on the
streets. Once again, you would be wrong to trust data from your own senses, and even more wrong to
believe any stories your friends and family tell about being accosted in what used to be safe neighborhoods.
The
Democrats Defraud the Voters With A Little Help From Their Friends. In 2016 the
Democrats fabricated the Trump-Russian collusion hoax. That's far more serious than lying
about how a politician voted years ago. The CIA furthered this lie by enlisting foreign
security agencies to generate contacts between Russians and peripheral Trump campaign members to
create suspicion against Trump. After the election, the Democrats used the same fabrication
to hamstring Trump's administration and try to drive him from office. The CIA issued false
leaks to the MSM claiming growing evidence of Trump-Russian collusion. The MSM eagerly
published stories day after day claiming "the walls were closing in" on Trump. But the walls
were not closing in. The claim was a lie. The MSM is so brazen that when New York Times
and Washington Post reporters were awarded Pulitzers for their falsehoods, they proudly kept them
even as their falsehoods were exposed.
An obvious lie: Doug
Emhoff: Not Fair To Criticize Kamala Harris For The Admin's Failures. Vice
President Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, claimed during an interview this week that it was
unfair for people to criticize his wife's performance over the last three and a half years because
she was not the president. Emhoff made the remarks during a softball ABC News interview
Friday morning on "Good Morning America," which came just days after the network's debate between
Harris and former President Donald Trump that was extremely biased against the Republican
nominee. Co-anchor Michael Strahan asked Emhoff if he thought it was fair that his wife was
being criticized for the numerous failings of the administration, even though she was named the
border czar, bragged about being the last person in the room on Afghanistan, and was the
tie-breaking vote on passing the American Rescue Plan — the legislation that triggered
the inflation crisis.
How
Wikipedia Became a Propaganda Site. As the wave of relief washed through the
Democratic Party in July following Biden's decision to step aside, both Democrats and Republicans
instantly understood that one of Harris's biggest weaknesses was also among the most critical
issues of the race — illegal immigration at the southern border. Republicans were
quick to point out Harris had been appointed border czar by Biden and the failure was hers to
own. Democrats denied Harris had ever been appointed "czar," calling the claim a GOP talking
point. Voters who googled the question would likely have encountered a Wikipedia article
listing presidential czars — as valuable a resource as any. Visitors who accessed
the "List of executive branch czars" article on July 24 would have been informed that Kamala
Harris had, indeed, served as border czar. But those who came to the page a day later,
specifically after 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time, would have found no mention of Harris
at all. [...] The resolution to this quandary hinged on a seemingly simple, even binary
question: Was Harris border czar or not?
Colorado
Democrat Blames Republican Minority for State's 'Out-of-Control Gun Violence'.
Democrats have complete control of the state government in Colorado. The last Republican
governor left office in 2007. The last time Republicans controlled one of the legislature's two
chambers was 2019, and Democrats currently hold a supermajority in both the House and the
Senate. Over the past decade, Democrats have enacted a number of new gun control laws,
including "universal" background checks, a ban on "large capacity" magazines, and a "red flag"
law, as well as repealing firearms preemption and allowing localities to pass their own measures more
restrictive than state law. So how's that working out for the state?
The
most important aspect of the Haitian scandal. [Thread reader] ... is how it
reveals the whole "they work/help the economy" stuff to be an absurd farce and a lie. The
reason Haitians "work" is because they get mountains of free stuff paid for by the taxpayers in
exchange. A company can employ Haitians at the absolute minimum wage because the Haitians get
free healthcare, free food, free housing, and even cash stipends which they refer to as "magic
money cards": because the cash never runs dry. This is all subsidized by taxpayers.
So most companies, "small" and "local" businesses included, would rather pay slave wages to
foreigners who are more than happy to show up to work because they know in exchange for doing so
they will receive mountains of rewards from NGOs, charities, and the government. Meanwhile
the American citizens are turned into wealth extraction machines. They pay all the taxes,
don't get these same benefits, and are still forced to work for cheap wages. They can barely
make ends meet. Inflation is killing them at the pump, at the grocery store and everywhere
else in their lives because they have no reprieve from its effects and no political recourse to
stop it. But the foreigner gets shielded from this. They don't care about their wage or
the cost of food, or rent prices, because it is all paid for by other people.
Almost every annoying phone call comes from overseas. Bomb
Threats Against Springfield, Ohio Are Coming from Overseas. This story has been
making news for days with the local mayor putting blame on President Trump and JD Vance for dozens
of bomb threats which shut down schools in Springfield, Ohio. Trump was asked about it and
said he didn't know anything about it. [...] The media loves to play the climate of hate game with
Republican rhetoric. If any act of violence or any threat can be tied to GOP rhetoric, they
run with it. The lie connecting Sarah Palin to the Tucson shooting is just one of the best
known examples but the left/media has done this sort of thing many times. But as we've seen
this week, when acts of violence implicate left-wing rhetoric, their standard suddenly
changes. The media doesn't rush to ask Biden and Harris if they feel responsible for the
assassination attempts against Trump. On the contrary, the media blasts Trump for daring to
make this same argument.
Kamala
Harris Lies About Guns, Fracking, Private Insurance, etc. and ABC Hacks Let Her Get Away with
It. It was obvious after the first 15 minutes of the presidential debate tonight
that it was President Trump versus Kamala and two ABC hack reporters. The ABC moderators
repeatedly "fact-checked" and "fake fact-checked" President Trump during the debate. This
should not surprise ANY Trump supporters or conservatives. The mainstream media becomes more
slanted and dishonest as the years go on. The ABC moderators refused to fact-check Kamala
Harris on a number of her lies. Kamala said she would never take your guns. A lie.
[Tweets] Kamala said she supports private insurance. A lie. [Tweet] ABC
said Democrats never proposed killing babies who survive abortions. This also took place in
Minnesota. [Tweet]
Kamala
Shamelessly Lied Her Head Off Throughout the Debate. I guess it was a foregone
conclusion that the ABC debate was going to be a mess, but people were yelling about the moderators
not being fair from the jump. It's pretty clear why Vice President Kamala Harris only wanted
to do a debate with ABC, given the bias they showed. But while the moderators were all over
former President Donald Trump, Harris was lying her head off without being checked the whole
debate. If I wrote about all the lies, I'd still be going into tomorrow, so I'll stick to
some of the highlights. She spread every hoax about Trump that she could think of, starting
with the lie that Trump had anything to do with Project 2025. [Tweet with video clip]
Here's
the fact check that ABC didn't give Kamala Harris. Kamala claim: "As of today,
there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any
war zone around the world, the first time this century." Fact check: Our troops in
Middle East are absolutely in a combat zone, under attack from Iran, which the Biden-Harris
administration has allowed to grow more aggressive in its use of proxies. In January this
year, three US soldiers in Jordan were killed by a drone attack from an Iran-aligned group, and
dozens of others have been wounded in similar strikes. [...] Kamala claim: "Nowhere in America is a
woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. That is not happening."
Fact check: As the Daily Signal points out, Minnesota had a 2015 law that required doctors to
report whether abortions resulted in the live birth of a baby. In 2021, it happened at least
five times, but no measures were taken to keep them alive. In 2023, Gov. Tim Walz
stripped out that reporting requirement as part of an abortion law that has no limitations on how
late in a pregnancy it may happen.
Debunking
Kamala's Biggest Lies That the ABC News Moderators Let Slide. Unemployment Under
Trump: "Donald Trump left us [with] the worst unemployment since the Great Depression."
FACT-CHECK: False. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, when Trump exited in
January 2021, the unemployment rate was 6.4 percent, not far from full employment figures
and lower than it was when President Barack Obama was in office[.] Pre-pandemic, in
February 2020, unemployment under Trump was at 3.5 percent, according to Federal Reserve
Bank records. Although that number had skyrocketed to a post-Great Depression record of
14.8 percent in April 2020, the highest rate seen since 1939, per BLS historical data,
that was when the COVID-19 shutdowns shuttered the U.S. economy. By the time Trump left
office, as America's beleaguered economy was beginning to bounce back, the unemployment rate had
declined significantly and was well below numerous other spikes documented during economic
recessions. For comparison, Trump's 6.4 percent unemployment rate was better than
Obama's 10 percent peak in October 2009.
Kamala
Harris Blames Trump for the Afghanistan Withdrawal That Happened Under Her and Biden's Watch.
Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign tried to blame her and President Joe Biden's
disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan on former President Donald Trump — even though it
happened seven months after he left office. The Harris-Walz campaign released a statement
Friday that claimed, "Trump left the Biden-Harris Administration with zero plans for an orderly
withdrawal — only a dangerous, costly mess." Trump had begun negotiations with the
Taliban and reached a deal, but it had not been completed by the time he left office in
January 2020. Biden — against the advice of his military advisers —
decided to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan in September 2021, which prompted the
Taliban to sweep into Kabul at the end of August 2021 and topple the U.S.-backed government in
a surprise rout. The sudden takeover prompted mass panic and chaos as hundreds of thousands
of Americans, foreign civilians, and desperate Afghans scrambled to depart.
The
Media Lies Add Up. On the eve of the first 2020 debate, Biden aide and now Secretary
of State Antony Blinken helped to round up "51 former intelligence authorities" to claim falsely
that Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop — full of incriminating evidence of felonious Biden
family behavior — was fabricated by the Russians. Yet the FBI already had the
laptop and had authenticated it as genuine. The FBI was also actively enlisting Silicon
Valley social media companies to suppress accurate news accounts of the laptop's embarrassing
contents — ostensibly to aid the Biden campaign. The signees of the false letter
included former intelligence kingpins such as Leon Panetta, James Clapper, and John Brennan.
None has ever apologized for deliberating lying to the country in a (successful) attempt to help
alter an election.
Decoding
Democrat Hypocrisy. [Scroll down] This is one of the reasons why Trump and
his supporters have an unbreakable bond. He doesn't pretend or pander. He is
comfortable in his skin. People appreciate authenticity even if they disagree. This
explains how Trump has often won over hostile audiences such as the recent Black journalist
event. We now look at the opposite end of the spectrum. This is a bottomless swamp of
double standards, self-righteousness, and duplicity that hosts venomous chameleons who change color
and accents based on whom they are addressing[.] If there was a recurring theme during last
week's DNC, it was hypocrisy. Here are some of the claims made. Most speakers claimed
that President Trump is a threat to democracy. They were doing this while standing on the
grave of interparty democracy. They were about to install Kamala Harris, who hasn't won a
single primary vote while Joe Biden was unceremoniously dethroned despite winning 15 million
primary votes. This isn't the only assault on democratic values by the Democrats. [...]
Hacking
and the 2024 Election. [Scroll down] For Americans, the issue of election
meddling should be more than just a passing news story — it's a wake-up call. The
recent revelation that Kamala Harris's campaign is using Google ads to mimic news publishers is a
subtle reminder that the line between information and manipulation is becoming increasingly
blurred. The tactics used to sway opinions and alter perceptions are evolving and becoming
harder to detect. Today it's Google ads; tomorrow, it could be unregulated AI-generated
deepfakes of candidates doing unspeakable things (or maybe just slightly embarrassing things, which
might actually be worse). In the end, if you're not paying attention, you're part of the
problem. The age of digital democracy is upon us, and it's here to stay. It's time we
keep our eyes open, our passwords strong, and our skepticism at an all-time high. After all,
the future of democracy might just depend on it.
Evidence
Mounts for Kamala Role in J6 Plot. [Scroll down] Here, for instance, is an
example of Harris's duplicitousness excerpted from her convention speech. "[Trump] sent an
armed mob to the U.S. Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers." For starters,
the mob was conspicuously unarmed. Of course, too, Trump encouraged the crowd at his
speech to march "over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices
heard." And finally, the crowd at the Ellipse where Trump spoke did not reach the Capitol
until at least an hour after the Capitol was breached. In her defense, Harris might say Trump
did tell his crowd to go to the Capitol. If not with guns, some were armed with flag poles
and the like, and a few probably did mix it up with the police. Together, however, these
half-truths amount to a conscious misrepresentation of Trump's role on January 6.
Dem-dominated
professions are untrustworthy. [Scroll down] It's noteworthy that
journalism, another Dem-dominated profession, is viewed with suspicion by the public.
Clearly, it's a profession where misrepresentation, embellishment, lying by omission, and just
blatant falsehoods permeate the town square. Professions dominated by people affiliated with
the Republican party are actually more useful in making America work. By contrast, the
professions dominated by Dems are, generally, brimming with busybodies who depend on member dues or
government largesse — areas susceptible to dishonest pandering. To
summarize: Dems tend to be dirty, no-good, lying scoundrels attracted to professions that
don't generate much wealth or improve our lot. Rather, they spread Dem disinformation, Dem
disunity, and Dem discord.
No
One Is Buying It. Finally, large swaths of the Democrats' diabolical Windy City
conclave were dedicated to celebrating the legacy of Biden, a purported "patriot" and "good man"
who put "country above party" by "selflessly" bowing out of the presidential race. This
entire narrative is a lie. Biden was not "selfless" or "noble" in gently "bowing
out" — he was ruthlessly coup'd by his partisan peers. Democrats, unlike
Republicans, believe in nothing so much as they believe in doing whatever it takes to win.
There was nothing whatsoever voluntary or selfless about this — just one party doing
whatever it felt it had to do to maximize its chances of victory against an opponent it has falsely
lambasted as a unique threat to "our democracy."
14
Lies Kamala Harris Told During Her DNC Speech. [#2] Kamala Harris distorted the
U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision on presidential immunity by claiming the decision means Trump
"would be immune from criminal prosecution." "His explicit intent to jail journalists,
political opponents and anyone he sees as the enemy. His explicit intent to deploy our active
duty military against our own citizens," Harris contended in a hyperbolic fashion. "Just
imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails, and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency
of the United States." The vice president's claim is misleading at best. While a majority
of justices determined that presidents possess "absolute immunity" for "actions within his
conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority" and "at least presumptive immunity" for
"official acts," they separately noted that "[t]here is no immunity for unofficial acts."
The
DNC Has Just Been One Long Litany Of Stupid, Obvious Lies. It almost goes without
saying that what Democrats are putting on at the DNC this week in Chicago is a simulacrum of
democracy, a mimicry of the excitement and drama that might have come from a deliberative process
of Democrat Party voters choosing their presidential candidate. None of it is real. The
DNC has all the trappings of a major political party convention but without any of the
substance. Not a single Democrat voter cast a primary ballot for Vice President Kamala
Harris, yet Democrats are going through the motions as if that's exactly what happened. They
even trotted out President Joe Biden — the putative head of the Democrat Party, whose
reelection campaign was abruptly ended by party bosses against his will — late on the
first night of the convention. It was a mere formality. Biden delivered a slurred,
angry speech, full of lies and distortions, and then they shuffled him off to Santa Barbara for the
rest of the week, rendering the sitting president a nonparticipant in his own party's convention.
Who
Is 'Destroying Democracy in Darkness?'. The 2023-2024 campaign season is not just the
strangest on record, it's also arguably the most anti-democratic. [Advertisement]
Ostensibly, the Democratic Party has claimed over the last decade that Donald Trump posed a
continued and existential threat to the republic. [Advertisement] That allegation
subsequently justified a variety of anti-democratic means to neuter his first two presidential
candidacies, his presidency, and now his third and final run for the White House. A near
decade ago, we witnessed the 2015-2016 Hillary Clinton/Democratic National Committee/FBI-assisted
effort to plant the false accusation of Trump-Russian collusion to warp the 2016 election.
[Advertisement] That gambit centered around the fraudulent Steele dossier and nearly fatally
crippled the Trump 2016 campaign. That hoax would later sidetrack 22 months of his
presidency before being proven a fantasy. On the eve of the 2020 election, the left next
birthed the Russian laptop disinformation campaign. That hoax also warped a presidential
debate with false charges that Hunter Biden's own incriminating laptop was once again the work of
Russians seeking to conspire with Trump.
Obamas
lecture America on decency as the Democrats lie. Not only do Democrats fashion
themselves the protectors of "democracy," they claim to be champions of decency. Well, if the
second day of the Democratic National Convention is any indication, the left doesn't have any claim
to the moral high ground. For one thing, no one at the DNC seemed even mildly constrained
by the truth. More than once, for instance, Democrats falsely claimed that former President
Donald Trump had referred to the tiki torch Nazis of Charlottesville as "very fine people."
Democrats also falsely accused the former president of instructing Americans to "inject bleach"
during the COVID pandemic. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who's painstakingly
ignored the ugly and often violent Jew-hatred that's infected his party, accused Trump of peddling
antisemitism. Speaker after speaker warned that Trump, a relative moderate on social issues,
was going to ban in vitro fertilization, even though the former president has explicitly rejected
any limits on fertility treatments.
The
Pathological, Shameless, and Downright Weird Dishonesty of Tim Walz. Minnesota
Governor Tim Walz reportedly pioneered the "weird" taunt against JD Vance. That's
increasingly looking like an acute manifestation of projection. As we learn more about the
wave of lies and distortions promulgated by Walz, another word that comes to mind is
'pathological.' The Democrats may have just put one serial embellisher and fabricator out to
pasture, in Joe Biden, but it seems they've added another one to their presidential ticket.
Walz has exaggerated, distorted, and outright lied about his military service, including his final
rank at retirement. He's been called on it for years, by military brethren up and down
his chain of command. He's responded with unresponsive indignation, by falsely suggesting
that his critics on this front never wore the uniform, and by demeaning members of his own unit
who've spoken out as inconsequential '19 year old cooks' (never mind that the most prominent among
them are his commanding officer, and his second in command). They are still actively lying on this
subject, in spite of a factual correction from the National Guard itself: [Advertisement]
[Tweet] If you are willing to do this sort of thing about your military service, what
won't you lie about?
10
Lies Leftists Tell You. Lie #1: Joe Biden was a great president, a dedicated
public servant who put country first and stepped aside so that Kamala Harris's brilliance could
save our democracy. Well, that's five lies all tied up in one bundle! Joe Biden is
easily the worst president in my lifetime, possibly ever. He and his family got rich, not by
serving anyone, but by grifting on his various political offices. Slow Joe also didn't step
aside; he was kicked to the curb by his Democrat comrades after it became clear he was going to
lose in November. And so now we have Kamala Harris, who was chosen as V.P. simply because she
possesses ovaries and dark pigmentation. And for the one millionth time, America is a
republic — if we can keep it — not a democracy.
The
Many Lies of Jamie Raskin. On the opening Monday of the Democratic National
Convention, Rep. Jamie Raskin beguiled his audience with a litany of Donald Trump's alleged
crimes against the Constitution. The Javert to Trump's Jean Valjean, Raskin wore his
obsession on his sleeve. As early as May 2019, Raskin was calling for Trump's
impeachment based on the "overwhelming evidence presented to us from the special counsel in the
Mueller report of presidential obstruction of justice." Any honest reading of the Mueller report
would have shown the criminals to be those who conspired to frame President Trump for colluding
with Vladimir Putin. Almost nothing Raskin says, however, is honest, right down to his reason
for wearing that hideous do-rag. Raskin achieved peak glory in his role as impeachment
manager in Trump's second impeachment trial, this one for the events of January 6. There, he
helped convince the House to impeach Trump for "Incitement of Insurrection." One could almost
forgive his many deceptions in that rush to judgment, given how little was known at the time.
Three-plus years later, Raskin has no such excuse.
Denial
and Delusion: The DNC at the United Center. Opening night in Chicago saw a
cavalcade of minor county and state officials, from county executives to lieutenant governors,
clearly chosen to represent the rainbow — black and white, young and old, male and
female — all bounding up to the microphone to deliver their brief pep talks and talking
points, each one more jubilant than the last. One minute, they were giving credit to the
Biden-Harris regime for rebuilding roads and bridges, when those roads and bridges were the states'
responsibilities, which states had been neglecting for years. The next minute, they were
patting themselves on the back for handling power outages, without admitting that it was Democrat
policies that caused those power grid failures in the first place.
Ten
Techniques Marxists Have Deployed to Gain Influence. [#3] Gaslighting: This
psychological maneuver uses cognitive dissonance to sow doubt and guilt, and makes people question
their memories, perceptions, judgment, and reality. When President Biden was repeatedly
described a few months earlier as "sharp as a tack," and "on top of his game," those who suspected
his fitness for office were bound to feel they had been cruel and judgmental. His dementia
became obvious, however, during the presidential debate in June. Gaslighting was also used to
hide the truth about Hunter Biden and the evidence of corruption that turned up on his
laptop. The whole affair was described as "Russian disinformation."
Crime
rate gaslighting. Were one to listen to the Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c)
media, one would rejoice at the dramatic drop in crime in America's blue, D/s/c ruled cities under
the enlightened Harris/Biden Administration. However, residents of those cities, aren't
rejoicing, quite the opposite. [...] For years now, police agencies across the country —
more than 50% — have declined to report crime statistics to the FBI, once the gold
standard for such things, but no longer. Part of the problem is defunded police agencies,
lacking manpower and unable to recruit, don't have the time and manpower for that kind of
paperwork. Many can't even respond to most 911 calls. This is particularly true for
major, blue state cities. But for those cities particularly, there is a more important issue:
politics. D/s/c politicians are loath to admit crime is running out of control in their
cities, so they simply don't report it. They lie. No reports, dramatically decreasing
crime. And police officers, knowing their prosecutors are more likely to prosecute them than
criminals, do as little as possible, particularly in high crime areas. No reports; no crime.
Fight!
Fight! Fight! We had an iconic moment in history, a demonstration of courage and
resolve in the face of evil. It brought unity to the right in so many ways. It's a
forever moment. Barely a month later, doubt and second-guessing is creeping into the psyche
of many on the center-right. Reason number one is the left sowing seeds of doubt with their
psyops machine. The Democrat/media/tech complex is working overtime. For example:
J.D. Vance is the wrong choice. We're weird. Kamala is Supergirl and Wonder Woman, but
wait, there's more! Kamala was never border czar. Crime is down because we say
so. Democrats are wonderfully cool. What immigration crisis? Trump is so bad, the
assassination never really happened. We're going to lose anyway. Those are just a few
of the narratives they are implanting in the nation's psyche. None of them true. Some
are so obviously false as to be laughable. Yet they persist.
Liberal
Gaslighting Goes Global. The problem with many liberals is they can't live in their
own truth. They abandon ship as soon as it becomes inconvenient to maintain their current
persona. The most obvious and telling recent examples come from the Democrat Presidential
candidate-by-fiat, Kamala Harris. For the last three and a half years, she was 'The Border
Czar.' Everyone knew it. Biden announced it with much ballyhoo, and she was referred to
as 'The Border Czar' by the television, print, and electronic media repeatedly. As the Vice
President, she ran interference for Joe Biden. (He didn't create the huge border fiasco; she
did.) [...] Any stain of failure, especially one tied to the massive disaster of the southern
United States border, was a huge threat to her Presidential aspirations. So, the Democrat
political machine, together with their legacy media propaganda juggernaut, went full George Orwell
on John Q. Public. CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the New Yorker, Axios, and a score of
other legacy media began trumpeting: 'Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar!' Unfortunately
for the gaslighters, and thanks to the internet, there are an abundance of records of them dubbing
her with that title.
White
House Gets Decimated Over Disgusting Comment on 9/11 Deal. We reported on the plea
deal that was announced by the Biden Defense Department with some of the terrorists allegedly
involved in the horrific attack on 9/11. The prosecution reached a plea agreement with Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.
But the Pentagon did not release any details of the deal, showing that typical Biden team
"transparency." As we noted, a "person familiar with the deal" said it involved a life sentence
rather than the death penalty in exchange for guilty pleas. Family members of the 9/11
victims also confirmed they were told this by the Office of Military Commissions. [...] But guess
what the White House did? They released a statement saying they had "no role" in the process.
About
That Kamala Harris Ad. Kamala Harris' first presidential campaign ad focuses on
"freedom." This might be the most absurd political claim in our lifetimes. The Democratic
Party is not interested in liberty. It is concerned with nothing more than expanding its
power. When Harris says in her ad "We choose freedom," what liberties is she referring
to? She never says. Because she can't. She mentions a few examples —
the freedom to "get ahead" and to "be safe from gun violence" — and both are
meaningless. [...] And how can this freedom from gun violence be provided for anyway? This is
especially curious coming from someone who has supported defunding the police. So maybe she's
talking about shredding the Second Amendment? Well of course she is.
The
Joy of Conspiracies As They Go Mainstream. The Internet is a treasure trove of
conspiracy theories, but if you're like me, when you hear a new one, you're saying, "It wouldn't
surprise me!" [...] A new poll of Dems found that 1/3 believe the assassination attempt against
Donald Trump was staged with fake blood. The man who was murdered and the two injured men
were collateral damage. Republicans believe the shooting was a coup attempt, and Democrats
and Republicans say ousting Biden was a coup. That's especially realistic since
14 million voted for Joe and not Kamala. Republicans say Democrats are authoritarians
and about to steal the election. Democrats say the same thing about Republicans. No
one thinks the inflation and jobs reports are accurate.
The
"Brainwashing" Behind the Biden/Harris Narrative: "This is Mind Control". "This is
basically a confession that everybody who was told that you're crazy, you're a Trumper, you don't
understand reality. The president is absolutely fine. All of us who've been told we
were nuts have suddenly been told, you're not nuts. But the machine is going to continue to
go on and lie to us... The system is simply going to try to go and anoint Kamala Harris as if there
was a democratic process in place... This is mind control at scale." [Video clip]
In
Hiding Biden's Decline, Democrats Showed They Are A Party Of Liars. When the
Watergate scandal was roiling a half-century ago, we were told the cover-up was worse than the
crime. There was no crime — that we currently know of — in keeping
President Joe Biden's cognitive infirmity hidden from the public. But the cover-up shows that
the Democratic Party is made up of liars who have the chutzpah, though maybe not quite the skill,
of Soviet propagandists. Up until the June 27 debate with Donald Trump, the Democrats
and their media division kept assuring us that Biden was fine. While his inner circle
insisted that he was fit right up to the point that he dropped out of the race Sunday, others in
his party and much of the press began to turn on him before the debate was over. At the same
time, they tried to convince the country that they didn't know that Biden's condition had
deteriorated so severely. But they knew. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
was maybe the worst offender.
A
Decade of Conspiracists? Who has most peddled conspiracy allegations the last nine
years — all of them false and nearly all of them influencing national elections and
public policies? [Advertisement] Once a target is constructed as Hitlerian, almost any
means necessary to quash that perceived existential threat become justified. And we have seen
a lot of them in the last nine years. [Advertisement] Russian collusion did not
work. Christopher Steele was a fraud. Robert Mueller came up empty. [Advertisement]
The Alfa Bank ping caper was a myth. [Advertisement] The Russian laptop disinformation
was a lie and ruined the reputations of the "51 former intelligence authorities" who sanctioned
it. The first Trump impeachment was a strictly partisan vote, activated when Trump lost the
House and Mueller had come up empty. Only ten Republicans impeached Trump a second time; the
Senate again acquitted then-private citizen Trump.
The Editor says...
Apparently amgreatness.com greatly values the words of Victor Davis Hanson, because they feature his
opinion articles front and center on their website and then put interstitial advertising in between
the first several sentences of his articles.
Biden's
legacy is a world in flames. Now that President Joe Biden has finally bent to the
will of his party's leaders and donors, the praise for his presidency is nearly universal on the
left. The paeans to his personal greatness and acclaim for his time in the White House
accelerated once his infirmity became clear in the June 27 debate with former President Donald
Trump. Liberal corporate media spent years covering up the president's cognitive decline,
including accusing any journalists who brought up the subject of spreading "misinformation."
But once the lies were exposed, those who were mostly likely to know the truth about Biden —
like former President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, congressional leaders and Hollywood
fundraisers such as actor George Clooney — turned on him, albeit while still improbably
praising him as one of our greatest presidents.
1
in 3 Dems Believe Trump Assassination Was Staged. Welcome to post-truth, post-fact,
and post-reality America where the occurrence of an event you don't like is immediately a
conspiracy to be ridiculed, dismissed, and 'just asking questions about it' to death. The
attempted assassination of President Trump falls into that category. Since it's politically
inconvenient, 1 in 3 Dems have already adopted the position that it was staged.
The Editor says...
If that were true, and it isn't, it would mean Donald Trump is the greatest stunt man in history!
Shocks
to the System. Try as you might to locate some malign, overweening, scheming cabal
behind all the trips laid on our country, the truth is probably much simpler: set out on a
journey defined by one lie, and then tell a lie to cover the first lie, and then another, and
pretty soon you're lying all over the place about everything until reality gets obliterated.
This is exactly what started in 2016 when Hillary Clinton sought to cover up her email and private
server scandal with the Russia collusion hoax. Have you forgotten how entrenched the FBI,
CIA, and other agencies dug themselves in on that? It began as [ridiculous] insinuation that
Donald Trump was a Russian agent, but the FBI turned itself into fantasy factory when they ran with
the story. They manufactured one sub-plot after another, most of it comically absurd, like
the entrapment of General Flynn for having a conversation with the Russian ambassador —
as if foreign countries send ambassadors here for some other purpose than communicating with our
government officials.
Dem
Donor Aide Floats 'False Flag' Theory About Attempt to Assassinate Trump. Before I
start, I will acknowledge that most people on either side of the political divide are rightly
outraged and concerned about Saturday's assassination attempt against former President Donald
Trump. Unfortunately, there are plenty of left-leaning members of the chattering class who
are doing their very best to spin the incident in a way that advances their agenda. Shortly
after footage of the shooting went viral on social media, leftists on various social media
platforms began immediately pretending that the shooting was staged to help Trump's campaign.
In fact, there were so many floating this lie that the term "staged" was trending on X. In the
latest episode, Dmitri Mehlhorn, a political advisor to LinkedIn co-founder and Democrat megadonor,
Reid Hoffman, floated this theory in an email obtained by author Max Meyer. In the email,
Mehlhorn made the brilliant claim that "Political violence is always either real or staged," and
acknowledged that it is possible that the attempt on Trump's life was legitimate. Then, he
descended into a rather bizarre fantasy about the incident. [...]
Fact
Check: Biden Claims 'More Childen Are Killed by a Bullet Than Any Other Cause of
Death'. VERDICT: False, This is a regurgitation of an ongoing, false, leftist claim
that guns are the number-one killer of children. Via fact checks, Breitbart News has shown
again and again that in making this claim, the left counts people of voting age — ages
18 and 19 — as children. Biden first made this claim on June 2, 2022, when he
said, "Guns are the number one killer of children." Breitbart News noted that a FOX News
report pointed to CDC figures that showed firearm-related deaths of people ages 0-19 totaled 4,368
in 2020, while motor vehicle deaths for the same age range totaled 4,036. Breitbart showed
that if a custom search is done on the CDC numbers so that you are limiting the category of
"children" to those 0-17 (i.e. those below voting age) then the data completely flips.
Children
are intentionally dumbed-down every day. Here is a sample of lies we have been fed in
just the last several years: You can keep your doctor and your plan if Obamacare is passed,
and everything will get cheaper. Republicans don't want people to have health care.
Trump colluded with Russia. Trump is a dictator as he worked to give power, money, and
freedom back to the people as fast as he could. Trump and anyone who wants to enforce border
laws is a racist and a xenophobe. Trump called Nazis and white supremacists good
people. Biden continues this lie to gin up racial hate and division. Trump put kids in
cages when the pictures shown of it were from the Obama-Biden administration that preceded
him. Trump's tax rate cuts "cost" the government trillions and only helped the rich. [...]
They repeatedly call Jan. 6 an "insurrection" when even the FBI admits that it wasn't.
Now
They're Gaslighting Us About Biden's 'Accomplishments'. Yesterday, we pointed out how
the press and Democratic Party politicians and operatives have started calling President Joe Biden
a "good man," despite all evidence to the contrary. Now the media are trying to convince the
public that Biden has been a great president who racked up big accomplishments, which is another
insult to our intelligence. "Objectively speaking, President Joe Biden has presided over some
significant, even historic, accomplishments," is how the Atlantic put it. The Atlantic writer
could name only three. Massive spending programs (all with borrowed money), mandating COVID
vaccines (that were developed in record time thanks to Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed), and
"the lowest unemployment rate in over 50 years" — a rate that has been steadily
increasing all year. This is the short list Biden sycophants usually trot out. But it's
the list of Biden's failures that is truly impressive. Here's just a sampling: [...]
Joe Biden is the worst president in American history and a man whose lifetime of
accomplishments wouldn't fill up a Post-it note.
Biden
Doth Protest Too Much. Biden and his aides have been gaslighting throughout his
presidency and long before it. Now there are the lies about Biden's performance in his
disastrous debate. His spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre, said on Wednesday that Biden was
jetlagged before the debate (despite eleven days since significant travel), that he had a cold
(despite looking perfectly well during appearances the night of and the day after the debate), that
he had "a bad night" (just one?), and that he was burdened with the duties of his job (isn't
everyone?). The fact is, as Carl Bernstein put it, Biden displayed signs of similar
dysfunction dozens of times before the debate. Biden did not suffer an off night on
Tuesday — he has been "off" for years, making horrible decisions that have resulted in
the deaths of American servicemen and endangered overseas forces and those of our allies while
harming our economy at home. Now comes the biggest lie of his presidency: the assertion
that he is not considering withdrawing from the presidential race. Whether or not he actually
withdraws or resigns, it is ludicrous to pretend that Biden has not contemplated doing so.
Gullibility
101. [Point #6] The naïve can cling to their suppositions because, in their
world, truth and logic are no longer required, no longer absolute, no longer respected.
Neither are facts. I haven't just observed this, I've been told this by brilliant,
well-educated people. One guy, who holds three hard-science doctorates, patiently explained
to me that logic is now passé. I've also been told that facts don't matter.
Outright lies don't even seem to faze leftists, no matter whether they're on the receiving or the
delivery side of the lie. It is hard to have a productive conversation with those who live
according to these "rules."
Who
knew and when did they know it? President Biden's incoherent debate performance
appeared to shock the world. But is it truly surprising? Politician Biden has always
been a phony and a grifter. He has never been the sharpest tool in the shed, but his
accelerating decline over the last few years has been obvious to everyone. Yet when
conservative media points this out they are savaged by the Left, accused of "cheap fakes" and
purely political motivation. Here is a list of just some of the people who were absolutely
aware of President Biden's extreme cognitive decline, and who deliberately concealed it from the
public: the entire White House staff; his entire cabinet; the leadership of the Democrat party,
including especially the Obamas and the Clintons; congressional leadership of both parties; the
entire Washington press corps from all major media corporations; and most despicably, "Dr." Jill
and the president's entire family.
Criminal
Referral Accuses DOJ's Kristen Clarke of 'Perjury,' 'False Statements'. The Justice
Department's Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for civil rights, will be hit with three
ethics complaints and a criminal referral Monday, The Daily Signal has learned. Article III
Project is filing both the ethics complaints and criminal referral, which calls upon Attorney
General Merrick Garland to open a criminal probe into Clarke on the grounds that she "knowingly and
willfully" made "materially false statements" and that she committed "perjury." "There is
ample evidence to support this referral for false statements and perjury," Mike Davis, founder and
president of Article III Project, said in the criminal referral. Davis' organization is
focused on defending constitutionalist judges, opposing radical judicial nominees, and pushing back
on "radical assaults on judicial independence" such as court-packing.
Snopes
Finally Gets Around to Fact-Checking the Entire Basis of Biden's Presidency, and Libs Are Big
Mad. Better late than never, I suppose. Some seven years after it happened,
Snopes has finally gotten around to fact-checking what would become the entire basis of Joe Biden's
presidency. Biden has repeatedly claimed that he decided to run against Donald Trump because
the former president supposedly praised the neo-Nazis present at Charlottesville in 2017. At issue
was a comment about "very fine people on both sides" that Trump made while reacting to the
incident. Biden took that and made it the centerpiece of his campaign announcement, with the
first words coming out of his mouth being "Charlottesville, Virginia." Since then, the idea that
Trump "praised" neo-Nazis has become canon on the left. Even in 2024, the White House still
repeats the allegation. There's just one problem: It was never true. For reasons
that weren't immediately clear, Snopes randomly decided to set the record straight a week before
the first presidential debate in 2024, and it has Democrats fuming: [Tweet]
How
a democracy destroys your rights. The authoritarians and their ever-abiding media
minions of the fascist far left have always striven to lie with language to further their socialist
national agenda. Their most recent project is conniving to convince everyone that we're a
"democracy" instead of a constitutional republic — for several reasons, but the most
fundamental is that if they can change the foundations of our Republic, they can change
anything. The far left has always laid claim to a counterfeit "right" to change the
definition of any word they choose for their momentary convenience. [...] Lying with language has
always come naturally to the far left. Leftists just come up with a good language lie and
keep on repeating it until it becomes the "truth," beginning with their ever-present self-labeling
lies of liberal and of course "progressive." The people who want to rip up the Bill of Rights and
eviscerate individual liberty still love to imply support for the concept with that false label —
and sadly, far too many on the pro-freedom right still blindly follow along with them in this
deception. The "progressive" label is meaningless but falsely implies something else.
Biden's
Chief Gaslighter Says Those Videos Of Joe Freezing And Wandering Aimlessly Are Fakes.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says videos of Biden freezing and appearing confused
are "cheap fakes video." Don't believe your own eyes, folks. Pierre said right-wingers
who are sharing these videos have a "credibility problem." "I think you all have called this
the cheap fakes video, and that's exactly what they are. They are cheap fakes video."
"They're done in bad faiths. And some of your news organizations have, have been very clear,
have stressed that these right wing, the right-wing critics of the president have a credibility
problem because of the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation,
disinformation." [Video clip]
How
Left-wing Conspiracies Work. Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing
conspiracies — beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and
paranoia to serve precise political agendas. [Advertisement] We now know that the
conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax — Donald Trump allegedly conniving with
Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote — was perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton
campaign. Its funding was hidden by the Democratic National Committee, the law firm Perkins
Coie, and Fusion GPS. [Advertisement] The Russian "disinformation" laptop
hoax — the notion that the same Russians four years later created a fake Hunter Biden
laptop to smear the Biden family on the eve of the first 2020 debate — was jumpstarted
by the Biden campaign's then-chief foreign policy advisor, current Secretary of State Antony
Blinken. [Advertisement] There was never much evidence that a wayward bat or pangolin in a
meat market birthed the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the efforts of China, Western and international
health officials, and Dr. Fauci's health bureaucrats to spread that lie. [Advertisement] The
January 6th riot was certainly wrong and buffoonish. But the idea that it was an insurrection
aiming to violently overthrow the U.S. government was also a left-wing myth fueled by the Democratic
House leadership and the media.
Behold
the Monster You Created. [Scroll down] Well, my friends. You
miscalculated. [...] You supported the draconian COVID mask mandates and travel restrictions
because Science Is Real, and the only opposition came from flyover state knuckle draggers who think
the earth is flat. Though the jackboot government dictates had an eerie test-run-for-next-time
feeling, you were more worried that your friends would ostracize you as a "denier" if you didn't
follow in the hallowed footsteps of Saint Fauci. But you have since discovered that your
collective Chicken Little freakout set back our schools, our economy, and pretty much all societal
progress for at least two years and that the face diaper police lied to us about almost everything.
If
Trump wins in November, watch out. [Scroll down] What can they [the
Democrats] possibly do in the face of certain defeat and no other options? There are some
disturbing possibilities. The facts and the law wouldn't seem to allow for this, but we've
seen a lot of disturbing possibilities in the past few years that also shouldn't have been allowed
by law, such as the buying of votes with the paying off of student loans when the Supreme Court
ruled against the concept, or changing of the definitions of terms in the law to come up with new
ways of regulating the right of self-defense. So would it be that much of a stretch to
forward the possibility of "temporarily postponing" the election "for a few weeks" in the face of a
"serious crisis"? Anti-liberty leftists are masters at lying with language. [...] The soft
language of hard tyranny will be the start, followed by a full-court press from the nation's
socialist media — couching this idea in terms of "patriotism." Remember
"15 days to slow the spread," which quickly morphed into months and then years? Whole
portions of the media complex are as far away from "objective" as you can get. They would
universally call this a commonsense measure, and anyone who dared object an "insurrectionist" and a
danger to democracy — just to peg the needle on the irony scale.
Hit
parade of lies from the Left. Here are just a few of the lies the Left have been force-feeding us.
• Men can be women: Lie.
• Men can get pregnant: Lie.
• Men can nurse: Lie.
• Trans is good: Lie.
• Trans is not a neurosis: Lie.
• Fat is beautiful: Lie.
• 2020 was not stolen: Lie.
• Vaccines work as promised: Lie.
• Drag queen story hour is good for little kids: Lie.
• Democrats are "for the little guy": Lie.
• You can be anything you want to be: Lie.
• Diversity is our strength: Lie.
• Donald Trump was not railroaded: Lie.
• Gays are born that way: Lie.
• Systemic racism exists: Lie.
• Prosecuting black crime is racist: Lie.
• White people are racists, especially when they deny it: Lie.
• Merit is anachronistic: Lie.
• American public schools educate: Lie.
• Trump is a criminal: Lie.
• Israel was the aggressor on October 7th: Lie.
• Vaccines are good: Lie.
• The Chinese spy balloon was a weather balloon: Lie.
• The border is secure: Lie.
• The women of The View can think rationally: Lie.
All these lies and far too many more have been generated on the Left for mass consumption.
Happily, recent news reports are leaking out, first as a trickle, and now more forcefully, that all
those lies are being recognized as lies.
The Editor says...
I think the writer left out "Epstein killed himself," among other things.
Rejecting
the Status Quo Is the Only Way to Survive. Can men give birth? Do cow
[emissions] cause tornadoes? Must "disinformation" tsars censor words to protect free
speech? Should Democrats jail opponents in order to save "democracy"? If you listen to
the propaganda press, these are some of the most important queries of our time. [...] The easiest
way to navigate this Kafkaesque environment is to follow a simple rule: whatever the government
says, believe the opposite. Obama promised that socialized medicine would lower health care
costs without benefiting illegal aliens; a decade and a half later, the only people who can afford
Obamacare are the illegal aliens who get it for free! Homeland (in)Security doofus Mayorkas
still claims the U.S. border is secure, even as foreign terrorists and Chinese nationals flash
middle fingers at television cameras documenting America's invasion. Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi,
and Chuck Schumer passed an "Inflation Reduction Act" that has done nothing but exacerbate inflation.
Obama doesn't care; the border has disappeared; and rampant inflation is the goal!
It's
Not That Fauci Lies That's Outrageous. It's That They Lie for Fauci. If we have
learned nothing else during the pandemic, everybody ought to agree at least that Anthony Fauci is a
pathological liar. I have given up on being outraged about the little man behaving in a
little way. He is a sociopath — and I don't mean that (solely) as an insult. [...] Anthony
Fauci definitely fits the bill. He has zero regard for others, surrounds himself with
sycophants who will worship him, works in an office filled with pictures of himself, and designed
policies that created a virus that killed millions, impoverished millions more, condemned people to
dying alone, harmed countless children, and...well, fill in the blanks, because there are too many
for me to list. Obviously, Fauci should be reviled for his actions and moral crimes against
humanity, but that is not really what I want to discuss. [Tweet] Fauci's enablers,
especially those in the scientific community and the mainstream media, still fill me with
anger. His defenders in Congress are contemptible. And all of them did it for money,
power, and usually ideology.
The
Top 20 Lies of the 2020s. Lying is an epidemic even worse than COVID. Our
president and his press secretaries seem to lie with every word they say and deny facts that anyone
with a pair of eyes can see for himself. Scientists and doctors, formerly among the most
trusted members of our society, lie to foster popular environmental theories and get government
grants, or to promote Big Pharma and deter people from effective treatments. Our news media
no longer report the news; they shape the news as instructed. Here is just a sample of
commonly promoted lies starting in 2020. [...]
They
lie because they get away with it. The death of Morgan Spurlock showed why people in
the media lie. They get away with it and it pays well. He made a movie for $65,000
called Super Size Me and collected a hefty share of its $22 million gross at the box
office. The premise was he ate nothing but McDonald's food for 30 days and it ruined his
health. The food did not. He died of cancer not obesity. His liver likely was in
bad shape but it wasn't from milkshakes and Big Macs. It was from 40 years of drinking,
going back to when he was 13. Nevertheless, the media sold the lie for 20 years, and
continued the lie in his obituaries, although a few outlets included a paragraph or two buried in
the story that put his lie in perspective. [...] The media heavily promoted him and his movie when
it debuted 20 years ago. Overnight, journalists became instant dietitians —
just like they became instant virologists 4 years ago when covid 19 arrived from Wuhan.
This
Is Not the 1960s. It was inevitable that the American Marxists would go down the road
of justifying the current premediated chaos on college campuses by claiming it is no different than
the marches, demonstrations, and unrest on college campuses during the 1960s. This absurd
comparison is nothing more than a juvenile attempt to wrap Marxism, virulent anti-Americanism,
support for Islamic terrorism, and malicious antisemitism in the flags of the Civil Rights and
Vietnam War movements. The impetus behind the Civil Rights and Vietnam War movements, before
they were hijacked by the radical Marxists, was a desire to make certain the nation lived up to its
ideals not to transform it into an oppressive one-party socialist oligarchy and a society fraught
with renewed racism, corruption, and duplicity.
A
Worthwhile Reminder When Anyone Talks About Trust in U.S. Government. This well
assembled video is recirculating as a reminder of what took place during the media hype of the
COVID-19 alarmism. It's easy to forget just how crazy and insane the lying and manipulation
actually was; this video captures only a small element of the demanded narrative. When anyone
asks a question about why so many Americans no longer trust institutions or U.S. government
leadership, the issues within this video serve as a mic drop. [Video clip] These
same media voices demanded everyone accept the fraud of the Trump-Russia narrative; then these same
voices demanded we ignore the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop; then these same voices demanded
again that we adhere to their untested vaccine position; and now they demand we pay attention to
their narrative around the fraudulent Lawfare cases against President Trump.
Why
would the public ever trust media outlets [...] ? [Scroll down] So why
would it be a surprise that the people who support Obama and Biden would also support the
protesters wreaking anti-Jew havoc across the nation? [...] The media also pretends that Trump
politicized the Justice Department[,] when that is most certainly Obama and Biden. They
pretend that Democrat policies want to help the poor and minorities, when the goal of Democrats for
over sixty years has been to make more people dependent on the government, instead of giving them
more of an opportunity to move up the economic ladder due to the joys of capitalism. The
media and other Democrats acted surprised and shocked at how much damage keeping schools closed
caused children. Only an idiot would be surprised. They pretend that rich people like
Bill Gates, Obama, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, John Kerry, and others care about their carbon
footprint as they fly in private jets, own multiple mansions, and buy yachts. They pretend
that rich people buying worthless pieces of paper called carbon credits reduces their massive
carbon footprint. Those pieces of paper do nothing.
Unearthed
Emails Show Legacy Media Cozying Up to Disgraced Censorship Group. Never-before-seen
emails reveal how several legacy media outlets closely aligned themselves with a disgraced
censorship entity, accused of leading the censorship of Republicans and conservatives on social
media. Documents reviewed by MRC Free Speech America indicate that certain leftist, legacy
media outlets — including The Washington Post, The Guardian, ABC News, NBC
News, Vice and others — collaborated closely with the anti-free speech Election
Integrity Partnership (EIP), a now-defunct consortium of researchers and universities with ties to
government agencies and embroiled in censorship controversies.
Police
Report Contradicts DC Councilman's Mugging Story. An embattled Washington, D.C.
councilman recently told the press he was the victim of an assault that took place a few years ago;
however, the incident's corresponding police report contradicts key details of the councilman's
story. Democratic Councilman Charles Allen, who supported defunding the police in 2020, spoke
to The New York Times in March about a recall effort he is facing due to his positions on crime, at
one point relaying an anecdote about how he was struck with a pistol during a recent assault and
that his attackers discharged a firearm next to his head. A police report obtained by the
Daily Caller News Foundation, however, indicates that he gave officers a slightly different account
than the one he relayed to NYT. "Mr. Allen was assaulted and pistol-whipped a few years
ago, he said, by two people who shot a gun right next to his head, neither of whom was ever
caught," the NYT's story reads. However, Allen reported the incident to D.C. police in 2006,
nearly two decades ago and not "a few years ago" as he told the NYT. Also absent from Allen's 2006
account to police is any mention of his assailants firing a gun right next to his head.
Marxist
Health Officials Want You Committed. One of the more insidious features of Marxism's
manipulation of language is its stigmatization of opposing points of view as some form of mental
disorder. Opposition to "gay marriage" is said to be a "sign" of homophobia.
Distrusting Islamic terrorists who celebrate 9/11 and shout, "Death to America," is a "symptom" of
Islamophobia. Wanting the federal government to secure our borders and enforce existing
immigration law "reveals" underlying xenophobia. Not wanting biological men to force
their way into ladies' locker-rooms and showers suggests that a person "suffers" from dreaded
transphobia. Notice that all these purported psychiatric disorders are categorized as
"phobias," or more plainly, as "irrational fears." Marxists routinely use loaded medical language
not only to demonize or disgrace their foes but also to transform any political disagreement into
something that it is not. [...] You could say that Marxists are committed to the lie that
opposition to Marxism rests on irrational fear.
SSCI
Chairman Mark Warner Lies About FISA-702 Fundamentals. This statement by Senate
Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner is so fraudulent in narrative construct it's almost
ridiculous. "SEN. WARNER: Let's remember what 702 is. It is the ability for the United States
government to surveil, listen in, on non-Americans foreigners who are abroad." Absolutely
nothing about this statement is accurate. Foreigners do not have U.S constitutional
protection. All foreign communications can be intercepted without issue, without FISA.
FISA-702 authority only pertains to Americans. The term "702" is specifically referencing
private communication with/by an American. [Video clip]
Congress
Is Lying to You About FISA. The first lesson we're going to learn is that a lot of
powerful people in the Congress are liars. They lie without shame, in fact, with pride.
And they do so at the behest of or because of blackmail instituted by the intel agencies. And
at the head of that list would be the chairman of the House intel committee, Mike Turner of
Ohio. We're going to play a clip from Mike Turner of Ohio saying exactly the opposite of what
is true here. Is Mike Turner reassuring you that face, it would never, under the face of law,
the U.S. government would never be allowed to spy on you without a war, because that's
unconstitutional. It never happened. It never will happen.
Powerful
people lie to the public. You can go back through the centuries and find essays,
songs, drawings, and folktales that all attest to the timeless truth that every generation sees its
"rulers" as an unworthy camarilla of cutthroats, liars, backstabbers, and thieves. Still, the
lies being told today are just so brazen. Damaging tornado? That's what we get for
driving cars. Too many white mathematicians? Obviously another bout of "systemic
racism" rearing its ugly head. Trump's beating Biden in the polls? Duh —
that's because America runs on "hate"! Disney and other child-grooming companies keep telling us
that the only way to protect America's youth is to put them on puberty blockers and let them dance for
skeevy adults. We used to call those skeevy adults "pedophiles," but now the medical community
insists that we treat them with more respect. I have trouble respecting a profession that
wants me to respect child molesters.
How to
spot the next mania: Each new panic follows the same playbook. The social mania
displays a few consistent characteristics. First and foremost, it never seems like a social
mania at the time. In the thick of a widespread preoccupation, its precepts simply seem like
the truth. Trans women are women; get over it. Or: masculinity is toxic;
virtually all women have been subject to sexual torment and male abuse of power; regarding any accusations
they make, no matter how far-fetched or petty, women must be believed. Or: Covid-19 is
so lethal, and such a threat to our endurance as a species, that we've no choice but to shut down
our whole economies and abdicate our every civil liberty to contain the disease. Or: all
Western countries are "systemically racist"; all white people are genetically racist; the police
are all racist (even if they're black) and should be defunded or abolished; the only remedy for
"structural racism" is anti-meritocratic, over-compensatory racial quotas in hiring and education.
Nadler
Claims No Men Are in Women's Sports. As leftists go about remaking reality to suit
themselves or fooling themselves into thinking they're getting away with doing so, there are still
a few pockets of resistance here and there. But Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-New York SSR) has
just done his part to shore up the party line, insisting that "men do not compete in women's
sports." Back in the real world, meanwhile, men who demand that the world treat them as women have
now won nearly 300 titles in female sporting events.
This
Is Biden's Reelection Pitch? We recently received a Biden-Harris campaign fundraising
email, and if this is the best pitch they can make, then Joe Biden deserves to lose, bigly.
It's full of lies. It's completely disconnected from reality. Biden takes no
responsibility for the nation's current troubles, and offers absolutely no solutions. The
email begins "I know this message is long." Except it's not — it's less than 430
words, which isn't much for an email that promises to remind readers "of all the things we have
been able to accomplish because of our victory in 2020." The next sentence is a flat-out lie.
"When Kamala and I were sworn in over two years ago, the economy was on its back." The truth
is that when Joe and Kamala were sworn in, the economy was roaring back. Gross domestic
product had regained the ground it lost in COVID-19 recession — a recession that lasted
only two months, making it the shortest in recorded U.S. history. Half of the people who lost
jobs were back at work. The stock market had climbed above its pre-COVID peak.
Gaza:
Truths Behind All the Lies. [Lie #1] "Occupied Gaza." Prior to October 7,
there were roughly two million Arab citizens of Israel but no Jewish citizens in Gaza. Gazans
in 2006 voted in Hamas to rule them. It summarily executed its Palestinian Authority rivals.
Hamas cancelled all future scheduled elections. It established a dictatorship and diverted
hundreds of billions of dollars in international aid to build a vast underground labyrinth of
military installations. [Lie #2] "Collateral Damage." Hamas began
the war by deliberately targeting civilians. It massacred them on October 7 when it
invaded Israel during a time of peace and holidays. It sent more than 7,000 rockets into
Israeli cities for the sole purpose of killing noncombatants. It has no vocabulary for the
collateral damage of Israeli civilians, since it believes any Jewish death under any circumstances
is cause for celebration. Hamas places its terrorist centers beneath and inside hospitals,
schools, and mosques. Why? Israel is assumed to have more reservations about
collaterally hitting Gaza civilians than Hamas does exposing them as human shields.
Judge
McAfee Ruling Is The Latest Blow to Public Trust in Government. Quite simply, of
late, the unbelievability of the government's positions and actions has escalated significantly:
• We are supposed to believe that the southern border is secure,
the millions of impoverished, military-age males flowing into our country pose no threat to
our economy, culture, or national security, and the only people opposed to this invasion are racists.
• We are supposed to believe America is a fundamentally, systemically racist country.
• We are supposed to believe a new economic principle holding that paying the
same price for a smaller bag of Doritos is intrinsically different from and somehow more sinister than
paying a higher price for the same size bag of Doritos.
• We are supposed to believe that our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a
well-planned and brilliant success, not one of the worst military and foreign relations disasters in our lifetimes.
• We are supposed to believe that DEI is a far better rubric than merit for
making all our institutions — even our military — better.
• We are supposed to believe that it is perfectly fair and right for biological
male athletes to compete against biological females — despite the former being dramatically
overrepresented in winners' circles.
This list could go on for pages, but some of the examples are far weightier than others. The
Russia Hoax, arguably the most corrupt, treasonous scandal ever orchestrated by the cabal of governmental
agencies, opposition party, and media, delivered a massive body blow to government credibility. The
COVID scandals — from identifying origination to lockdowns to the efficacy of the
vaccines — and the Hunter Biden laptop scandal fully exposed in the Twitter Files release
were a one/two punch combination that left government credibility on teetering legs.
Guilty! —
But Not Really Guilty? In 2011, then Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama,
John Brennan, swore before Congress that drone-targeted assassination missions near the Pakistani
border had not led to "a single collateral death." That was an obvious lie with grave
consequences, given that Brennan was sworn under oath and was one of the top officials in the US
national security community. Yet there were no subsequent repercussions. In fact, the
opposite occurred. Brennan was subsequently rewarded with a 2013 appointment as CIA
Director. But the next year, once again, Brennan lied to Congress, assuring the Senate
Intelligence Committee that his CIA had not secretly accessed senate staffers' computers.
Again, there were no consequences for his repeated lies. Instead, Brennan, upon retirement,
went on to be an MSNBC/NBC analyst who helped to promulgate the Russian collusion/laptop
disinformation hoaxes.
Consequences
Minus Truth. A society hostile to truth can't possibly remain civilized, because it
will also be hostile to reality. That appears to be the disposition of the people running
things in the USA these days. The problem, of course, is that this is not a reality-optional
world, despite the wishes of many Americans (and other peoples of Western Civ) who wish it would be.
'I
did not exonerate him': Robert Hur sets Dem rep straight on conclusion of report.
Special counsel Robert Hur corrected Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal at a Tuesday
hearing when she said his report exonerated President Joe Biden for his handling of classified
documents. Hur issued his report in February on Biden's handling of classified documents,
deciding not to pursue charges against the president because he would be unlikely to get a
conviction. Jayapal asserted Hur's report exonerated Biden, but the special counsel disputed
her statement. [Video clip] "This lengthy, expensive, and independent
investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden," Jayapal said. "For every
document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated
any laws about possession or retention of classified materials." "[Exoneration] is not a word
that I used in the report," Hur asserted. "And that's not part of my task as a prosecutor."
Jayapal talked over Hur as he elaborated on his answer. "You exonerated him," she said. "I
did not exonerate him," Hur responded. "That word does not appear in the report, congresswoman."
Leftists
retain power only by lying to their base. Leftists are masters at endlessly repeating
conclusions that advance their positions, even when facts belie those conclusions. These are
now-mainstream examples: • January 6th was an insurrection.
This lie has been repeated so much that polar bears in Alaska believe it. We will disprove
this point below.
• Trump is presumptively guilty of the charges partisan prosecutors bring.
This precludes him from holding any public office, and he should already be in jail. He's
a twice-impeached president they claim, never mind that he was twice not found guilty.
• Climate change is (a) real, (b) man-caused, and (c) an
existential threat to the world. That reality invariably disproves their predictions is
irrelevant. The ideology has been ingrained in our youth to the point of gospel, allowing
leftists to "fundamentally transform" America. To end this imaginary crisis, the modern world
must stop using fossil fuels, even if that means the collapse of societies and mass starvation.
• America is a hegemonic nation built by evil white people. The only
solution is to tear it down and reform it into a people's paradise, preferably using DIE processes.
• The Palestinian cause is just, and Israel must be defeated and pushed into
the sea. Hamas soldiers are merely freedom fighters working to accomplish this and, being
victims, any atrocities are justified.
• American Jews are unworthy, have no rights to live peaceably, and should
be excluded from public life.
Note: All these memes are taught to our children in our K-16 educational system.
All are grounded in Marxism.
Biden took a recovering economy and intentionally wrecked it. Biden
Falsely Says He Inherited An Economy on Brink of Collapse. Claim: Biden claimed
that the U.S. economy was on the brink of disaster when he took office. "I inherited an
economy that was on the brink. Now our economy is the envy of the world!" Biden said.
Verdict: False. President Biden inherited an economy that was strongly rebounding from
the pandemic. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the economy grew at an annual rate of
4.3 percent. In the prior quarter, it had grown at an annual rate of 33.1 percent,
as the economy whipsawed from lockdown to reopening. As Biden took office, in the first
quarter of 2021, the economy was growing at a 5.2 percent annual rate. (Until the
Department of Commerce revised its calculations last fall, this was reported as an annual rate of
6.3 percent.)
Fourteen
Russian Hoaxes and What Explains Them. Whenever we hear our government or its
servants in the media make a politically charged claim about Russia, we should refresh our memories
of the many stories that turned out to be hoaxes surrounding that country. Here is a brief
list to keep handy:
[#1] The Russian Co-Signers Hoax: In August of 2018, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell
claimed Russian oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin cosigned loans to Donald Trump from Deutsche Bank.
MSNBC quickly retracted the claim when Trump threatened to sue. [...]
[#2] The Trump Tower Russians Hoax: In July of 2017, The New York Times reported
that Donald Trump, Jr. met with a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, at Trump Tower in 2016 in the hope
that she had opposition research against Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Although a meeting
did take place, the "Russian" in question shared a client with Fusion GPS — the firm Clinton hired
to frame Trump for colluding with Russia. Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson had dinner with her on the
night before and after the Trump Tower meeting and the opposition research used to bait Donald Trump, Jr.
came directly from Fusion GPS.
[#3] The Hunter Biden Russian Disinformation Hoax: In October of 2020, shortly
after The New York Post reported on the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, 51 intelligence officials
signed a letter characterizing the story as Russian disinformation. [...]
[#14] The Russian/DNC Hack Hoax: [...]
Biden
and Dems' total disconnect from reality: Whatever they say, trust the opposite is
true. It's always Opposite Day for them. Whatever they say, the opposite is the
truth. Up is down and black is white. And because Democrats control most of the media,
they get to make the truth whatever it is they want it to be. So, after three years living in
President Biden's fantasy world, we finally have fallen through the looking glass with Alice in
Wonderland, where nothing is what it is because everything is what it isn't.
Biden's
border blame game is a cynical lie and everyone knows it. Biden's first tactic for
cushioning the political fallout from his self-inflicted border crisis was to deny it. He and
his purported Homeland Security Director assured us the border was "secure." The people could
see, however, that it wasn't. It's hard to conceal the illegal immigration of a population
the size of Arizona. Were the people supposed to believe their own lyin' eyes, or the guy
that told us he never talked with Hunter about Hunter's "business" matters, that he was at the
World Trade Center the day after 9/11, that the price of gas is down since he took office, that his
collapse in Afghanistan was a great success, that his son was killed in Iraq, and that he used to
drive a tractor trailer? Eventually, Biden realized that the people were choosing to believe
the first — their own eyes. They could see with their own eyes that there was a
crisis at the border. Plan B was to blame someone else for the crisis. The Republicans!
The
Putrid Myth of Stolen Land. The left poisons everything. They start with
something somewhat plausible, land protection, climate mitigation and it invariably ends up in
chaos and destruction, and always always rich people getting richer off poor people. Green
energy is the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since medieval enclosures.
In the past month, it became clear scholarship has been turned into a kindergarten of thieves and
liars. You cannot believe anything. As a prominent business podcaster said this week,
'we have to assume going forward that all doctoral theses are plagiarized. From here on in,
you have to prove it isn't'. Nor can you duplicate studies. They are all fantasies created
by activists. Everything coming out of a lab that feeds government policy is plain untruth
meant to feather the nest of whatever activist group funded the study. Where I live they
tried to stop tree cutting based on a lie so flagrant it could be disproved by Wikipedia's first
sentence on the supposedly endangered tree. We live in Absurdistan.
We
Are in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government. California is now covering the
costs of genital-mutilating surgeries for illegal aliens. Leftism's slippery slope invariably
leads to depraved absurdity. Consider how Governor (receding) Hairdo and the Pyrite State's
other communist saboteurs have greased the shifting ground under Californians' feet:
[#1] There is no illegal immigration crisis.
[#2] There may be a crisis, but California taxpayers won't be paying for it.
[#3] Taxpayers may have to foot the bill for the illegal immigration crisis,
but California will do nothing to incentivize illegal immigration.
[#4] After further review, these aliens aren't "illegal," but rather "undocumented."
[#5] Health care is a human right.
[#6] California must provide "undocumented" aliens healthcare.
[#7] Mutilating the genitals to make them look like the opposite sex is health care.
[#8] California taxpayers must pay for "undocumented" aliens' genital surgery.
[#9] Californians who object to paying for undocumented aliens' genital surgery
may be guilty of "hate" crimes and will be prosecuted.
Washington
State Rep Says The Problem With Crime In His State Is White People. State
Rep. Jake Fey (D) says he witnessed lawlessness on the roadways while doing a
ride-along. He called it a "cultural issue" and blamed "young white males." This is
liberal insanity at a new level. The vast majority of crime in Washington, as is in other
states, are perpetrated by young, black makes. [Video clip]
DNC
Tells Democrats the Upcoming Presidential Primary Is "Meaningless". As the DNC is
telling New Hampshire Democrats the upcoming primary is "meaningless," the background Democrat
control officers like David Plouffe are telling them to vote for Nikki Haley. The New
Hampshire Attorney General has had enough of this manipulative scheming and sends a letter to the
DNC telling them to stop.
A
Culture in Collapse. In this new America of ours, Joe Biden is hale and savvy, while
Hunter did nothing wrong. Our heroes are Dylan Mulvaney, Gen. Rachel Levine, and the two
Sams, Bankman-Fried and Brinton. In today's America, Karin Jean-Pierre is truthful, while
Alejandro Mayorkas is honest. An innocent and saintly George Floyd was randomly murdered; his
death proof of systemic police racism. And defunding the police brought calm and quiet, in
the way our border is secure and the homeless are mere victims. Dr. Jill is an
impressive academic. Oprah and LeBron are the downtrodden and victimized.
Gen. Mark Milley is a brave maverick, and so is Adam Schiff. The flight from Afghanistan
marked a brilliantly organized retreat. The Chinese balloon really did not take too many
pictures of sensitive areas. January 6 was an armed insurrection, preplanned by fiery
conspirators and revolutionaries. Ashli Babbitt deserved to be blasted in the neck for
entering a broken window. Kamala Harris is a wordsmith. Russian collusion really
happened. So did Russian laptop disinformation. Christopher Steele's dossier was mostly
true, in the fashion of Claudine Gay's dissertation and Barack Obama's memoir.
Why
Is Everything So Stupid? The Climate Scam is the Father of Lies. And John Kerry
is its progenitor. Well acquainted with power, he has spent the last thirty years insinuating
climate panic into every discipline, every sector, forcing every CEO to confess that what is unreal
is real, that what is not a problem is a problem, and demands your sacrifice. The national
security state was tasked with selling the climate scam, bullying every plutocrat feeding off
government dollars — Bezos, Musk, Gates, whatever fascist fiend runs Google —
to sell this idiocy, this madness. Everyone who protested was sidelined, which means anyone
both intelligent and principled was sent to the sidelines. And with the departure of the
principled, the unethical, or the go-along-to-get-along gang took power. And to keep power,
they lied. [...] The climate is not changing in dramatic ways. Human activity is probably NOT
the chief driver. And nobody is agreeing on anything. Media were bullied, universities
were bullied, every institution was tasked with climate emissions draw-down.
Biden's
Campaign Message 2024. The Biden's administration's agents in social media censored
his political opponents before the 2020 election, including censoring the true Hunter Biden
laptop story. The Biden administration have still been working with social media to censor
Americans after the election. [...] It was under the great foreign policy expert Biden's watch that
the bloody wars in Ukraine and in Israel erupted, while Venezuela is threating to invade its tiny
neighboring country of Guyana, while, by contrast, the allegedly inexperienced Trump (Putin's
puppet according to Democrat partisans and buffoonish comedians), was the only one of the last four
presidents on whose watch Putin did not invade one of its neighboring countries. Biden has
insulted the American people by claiming that his Afghanistan withdrawal was an "extraordinary success,"
a view not shared by the families of all the people needlessly killed and injured that day.
Waking
Up to the Age of Deception. Each day in this "Age of Deception" constantly raises
challenges in finding reliable information. The 2024 election has already demonstrated that
disinformation will be used regarding the economy, climate, immigration, voting, and woke
thinking. The legal attacks against former president Donald Trump are a example of vicious
deception. Another example where truth has become a minor consideration is the Israel/Gaza
conflict. We are shown scores of contradictory reports, each of them appealing to our most
primitive emotions. Fake news identification has expanded due to the growth of digital
communication and social media. In the field of journalism, information is power. It
doesn't matter whether it is true or not, only that it is persuasive. Individuals now have a
wider range of news sources, which disseminate biased perspectives. The echo chamber effect
gives self-proclaimed attention seekers the power to spread their deceptive message.
A
Guide to Leftist Lies. [Scroll down] Sloganeering lies. These are
the cute little slogans they keep repeating to maintain a certain narrative. We've all heard them:
"Socialism has never been tried before."
It's failed in many forms and formats for more than 400 years.
"No one is talking about taking anyone's guns."
This is a lie, proven by the existence of unconstitutional "red flag" gun confiscation orders,
and they're talking about taking everyone's guns.
"We need to have a national conversation about ____."
(When we're always talking about that subject.)
Biden
Team in Disarray Over Messaging, 'Working With Social Media Platforms to Counter Misinformation'.
According to a new Washington Post story, the Biden team is at its wit's end. They don't know
what to do to convince the American people that the economy is in good shape. Of course, part
of the reason they're failing so badly is because people know how much more they've had to pay for
everything, and they see the high interest rates. Young people who would like to buy a home
can't even do so in the current economy. But they're still trying to sell this to us, such as
by claiming Thanksgiving was cheaper this year. They leave out that it was more expensive
than when Joe Biden came in and hit everything with Bidenflation. Their latest efforts were
an example of how badly they are failing with the public.
The
fourth annual Hoax-of-the-Year awards! As usual, there are a number of continuing
hoaxes that deserve mention, such as The Any Number of Illegal Immigrants Make the Country Better
and Richer Hoax. However, this hoax, stupefying as it is, may be on its last legs. Even
some Democrats seem to be sobering up in this regard. Several other hoaxes have taken further
hits in 2023, including The Most of Those Working in the FBI And DOJ Are Good People Hoax, and The
Teachers Are All Selfless, Underpaid Angels Who Love Our Kids Hoax. Conversely, one hoax that
continues to gain traction, at least among academics, is The Competence, Punctuality and Discipline
Are All Aspects of White Supremacy Hoax. In fact, many colleges are dispensing with entrance
standards altogether. It should be noted that The Marijuana Is Good for You Hoax is also
still in good stead, though for how much longer no one knows. And, incredibly, against all
odds, The Men Can Get Pregnant Too Hoax appears to be holding its ground,
if not gaining more adherents. A closely related ruse, The One Sex Can Become the Other Just
by Saying So Hoax, is similarly alive and well. This is a foundational hoax, breathtaking in
scope and import, truly preposterous.
Biden
brags that egg prices are down 22% after tripling in price since he took office.
According to the White House, history had not begun when the president was born 81 years ago.
It didn't even begin when Joe Biden became president nearly three years ago. Instead, the
executive branch would like you to believe that history and price levels began only one year
ago. [Tweet] There's a reason just 2% of voters polled by the New York Times
said that the economy under "Bidenomics" is excellent: they weren't born yesterday.
We're currently in year three of the worst inflationary crisis of the past 40, and tone-deaf posts
like this one from the White House feel like an insult to the common sense of the public.
Airline tickets may be 13% lower than they were a year ago, but they're 21% higher than they were
when Biden took office. Rental car rates are down 9.6% from a year ago, but they're up 55%
since Biden took office. Egg prices may be down 22% from a year ago, but they're up 40% since
Biden took office. Milk prices may be down 1.6% from last year, but they're up 11% since
Biden took office. Bacon prices may be down 5.1% from last year, but they're up 24% since
Biden took office.
Elon
Musk Should Sue Media Matters Into Oblivion. Over the weekend, Elon Musk said he
plans to file a "thermonuclear lawsuit" against Media Matters for America, a left-wing propaganda
shop whose sole reason for existing is to churn out deceptive, fake studies designed to pressure
large firms to pull advertising from media outlets and platforms that don't toe the leftist
line. That's precisely what Media Matters did last week when it released a bogus "report"
alleging that X, formerly Twitter, runs ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to
"pro-Nazi content." Sure enough, after this report was published Thursday, Apple, IBM, and a
bunch of other companies fell for the scam and announced they were pulling ads from X. Then on
Monday, Musk's X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters, alleging the organization "knowingly and
maliciously manufactured side-by-side images depicting advertisers' posts on X Corp.'s social media
platform beside Neo-Nazi and white-nationalist fringe content and then portrayed these manufactured
images as if they were what typical X users experience on the platform." But of course,
nothing about the Media Matters report was typical. The whole thing was contrived, a ruse
that Musk quickly exposed.
Biden
Casts Doubt on Polls, Laying Groundwork To Delegitimize 2024 Election. There's still
a long way to go before Election Day in 2024, but President Joe Biden is already dismissing polls
that show him losing to Donald Trump as inaccurate, raising the specter that if he loses next
November he will argue the election was not legitimate. [...] The president is immensely
unpopular. Biden's job approval numbers are underwater even in deep-blue states such as
California. Just 39 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, according to a
Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week. This is dangerous. Biden's refusal to accept the
results of these polls — conducted in part by the esteemed and unassailable journalists
at the New York Times — is a dog whistle to his extremist supporters that threatens the
very principles on which our cherished democracy was founded. Biden's strategy is
clear: Convince his base — comprising associate professors, multiple home owners,
corporate lawyers, and suburban wine moms — that it is not possible for him to lose a fair
and legitimate election in 2024. Therefore, if he loses, it must be, by definition, illegitimate.
Records
Show Adam Schiff Financed $1.7 Million Maryland Home As 'Prinicipal Residence'. A
California Republican House hopeful told RedState she uncovered a scheme by Rep. Adam Schiff
(D.-Calif.), who is running for the California Senate seat vacated by the passing of Democratic
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, where the congressman reported his Maryland home as his primary
residence to secure a lower mortgage interest rate — meaning he either lied on a
federally-insured loan document or from 2003 to 2021, he was not a resident of his Burbank
district. "I filed a complaint with the House Ethics Committee, and I did get an email receipt,"
said Christine Bish, who has worked as a real estate professional for two decades and who worked as
an in-house investigator at a law firm. "They did receive my submission, and I followed up with
them, and they said, once it's submitted, they cannot give me any updates."
Not
so fast on that big statehouse victory for Democrats in Virginia. Turns out one of
the 'winners' in the Virginia state Senate race doesn't actually seem to live in her district.
[...] Comically, four neighbors were watching, and together compiled the information in a
spreadsheet, taking 62 drives past her home to find that she lived there, documenting her car and
taking photos of her entering and exiting the house. Apparently, it was like detective work,
but done by the locals. It also resembles the neighborly intervention that pretty well proved
that Chula Vista mayoral candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar, was living with his girlfriend, current
Rep. Sara Jacobs of San Diego, in the fancy Banker's Hill neighborhood of San Diego and not in
Chula Vista as he claimed. This whole thing amounts to a pattern by politicians, mostly
Democrats, to skirt residence rules and just represent some place they have nothing to do with, for
their own ends.
Virginia
Dems Could Lose Control Of [the] State Senate Because [a] Member May Have Lied About [her]
Residence. Virginia Democrats last week took control of the state House and retained
control of the state Senate by one seat — but a winning senator may have lied about
residing in the district, a situation that could lead to the chamber falling into Republican
hands. Democrats are slated to control the state Senate 21-19, but if Ghazala Hashmi is
ineligible to hold office because she lied on her campaign paperwork, then a situation could arise
where she is replaced by a Republican, and Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears would cast
tie-breaking votes. Virginia Senate candidates are required to live in the district they are
running for, and Hashmi filed candidacy paperwork saying she lived in an apartment on Boulder Lake
Drive in North Chesterfield in Senate District 15. But four neighbors filed a complaint saying
she actually lives outside the district on Bosham Lane in Midlothian, and they provided a spreadsheet
saying they had driven by the house 62 times during the month of October to document her residency.
The
Elite Conspiracy to Monopolize Opinion Through Propaganda. Humankind is supposedly
ruled by reason. But logic isn't effective in influencing people, individually or in a
group. Advertising, public relations, and propaganda succeed precisely because they bypass
reason. They hack the shortcuts the brain uses, changing people's beliefs and behavior
without their realizing it. Sadly, we are not taught how to guard against these techniques,
writes Michelle Stiles in One Idea to Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American
Propaganda. This ignorance, she says, has "devastating consequences for both individuals
and society as a whole." Some techniques are as old as civilization. Many books cover
those used in advertising. Stiles's scholarly book instead addresses how the ubiquitous
manufacture of consent has eclipsed faith in the media and democracy, with stagecraft and narrative
supplanting the search for truth.
Stop
Being Shocked — Once and for All. [Scroll down] The more we
listened to freshly minted universal experts, the more we were struck by the increasing lunacy of
their pronouncements on every topic under the sun, always backed by "studies" and
"science" — where COVID-19 came from, how many genders there are, which skin tones and
personal experiences qualify a person for protection status and which do not, whether it was OK for
a Syrian dictator to bomb and gas 500,000 of his people, whether the U.S. should ally itself with a
Holocaust-denying medieval theocracy, whether the president of the United States was secretly a
Russian agent, whether large American cities should let drug addicts and violent schizophrenics get
high on the streets and steal stuff — and more. Indeed, over time, we were struck
by how little the ideas themselves seemed to matter; what so many people seemed most attached to
was power.
In
the Mouth of Marxist Madness. Americans [are] under siege from an Orwellian deep
state that manipulates the public by distorting history and undermining the meaning of words.
In a nation that celebrates George Floyd as a hero, clings to the "Hands up, don't shoot" lie as a
sacred "truth," and blames Hillary's election loss on Russian bots, propaganda is king. The
U.S. government fights racism by institutionalizing racial preferences. It supports Black
Lives Matter and Antifa domestic terrorists while locking up American patriots as "domestic
enemies." It replaces impartial justice with "social justice" and equality under the law with
"equitable" special privileges. "Climate change" communism kills property rights.
Meme-makers are imprisoned, but Russia collusion hoaxers are not. Gene-altering serums are
called "vaccines." And generations of judges have replaced the U.S. Constitution with their own
postmodern revisions.
Truth,
or consequences? We are constantly being told lies. By the elites that
make — and enforce — the rules. By the "experts." By "scientists" like
Dr. Fauci. And, most disturbing of all, by those in our intelligence agencies and at the
highest levels of government. We are being force-fed misinformation, disinformation, and
outright "fake news" by our mainstream and social media outlets. Most of us sense this, feel
this, know this. "Truth, justice, and the American Way" was not only a comic book phrase in
days of yore, it was a blueprint for our society. But now it seems that the American way has
gone by the wayside, and justice has been perverted. It has often been said that "the
truth will set you free." But now the truth can get you "cancelled," perhaps even imprisoned.
Proposition
HH Bait and Switch — Colorado Style. Bait and switch schemes are a staple
of dodgy sales tactics; [...] Such a scheme is more than an unscrupulous sales tactic, it is
against the law. According to Cornell Law School, bait and switch advertising, "Is grounds
for an action of common-law fraud, unjust enrichment, and sometimes breach of contract. A
'bait and switch' is also a violation of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act."
Politicians are immune from such laws or else they would all be in prison. How many elected
officials campaign on promises such as lower taxes, cutting spending, securing the border, only to
do the opposite? Remember Obamacare? "If you like your doctor/insurance/etc, you
can keep you doctor/insurance/etc". How did that turn out? Or "Build Back Better" which
was a wrecking ball to America and its people.
Panetta
Repeats Debunked Russian Disinformation Claims on Laptop. Last night, many of us
responded to the statement of Leon Panetta, former CIA Director in the Obama Administration, that
he "has no regrets" about signing the now infamous letter of 51 former intelligence officials
suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Even more unsettling were
his comments that he believes it could still be Russian disinformation. It turns out that
even with American intelligence, the media, and Hunter Biden himself acknowledging authenticity, it
can still be Russian disinformation. Panetta has become the personification of the economic
theory of path dependence. No matter how much countervailing evidence is presented to
Panetta, he still refuses to accept the authenticity of the laptop.
Ilhan
Omar Promotes Photo Falsely Showing Dead Palestinian Children. Rep. Ilhan Omar
(D-MN) promoted propaganda over the weekend that falsely portrayed children as having died from
Israeli military operations when, in reality, they died a decade ago from fighting in Syria.
The false claim that Omar promoted on her X account originated from self-described "investigative
journalist" Sulaiman Ahmed. "CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE," the post, which included a photo of
dead children, claimed. "614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli IOF Forces." Omar
then shared the false claim to her nearly three million followers on X. The reality is that
the photo is from an August 2013 article in National Geographic and it shows children in Damascus,
Syria, "shortly after they succumbed to chemical weapon poisoning."
Here's
Why The Media's Lies About Rep. Jamaal Bowman Should Concern You. During a
series of contentious spending votes on Saturday ahead of a looming government shutdown, while
House Democrats were trying to slow-walk a vote, Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire
alarm in a House office building on Capitol Hill, forcing an evacuation. Bowman's stunt,
which is under investigation by Capitol Police, was caught on a security camera. It's clear
he pulled the fire alarm as a delaying tactic, precisely to force the evacuation of the building
and disrupt official congressional business (the kind of thing the media would call an
"insurrection" if a Republican had done it.) [...] But here's the important thing: Bowman's
claim is that he thought pulling the fire alarm would open the door. That sounds like an
outlandish lie, doesn't it? The sort of patently false thing no one in his right mind
would ever believe or even try to explain. Just a bone-crushingly idiotic fiction that
requires us to believe Bowman is mentally ill or psychotic. Every single person in Washington
knows it's not true. And yet, every single Democrat and the entire corporate news media
immediately responded as if it were a reasonable and acceptable explanation for Bowman's actions,
like of course he didn't know what would happen when he pulled the alarm. He thought it would
open the door, OK? How many of us have encountered a locked door and immediately pulled the
nearest fire alarm?
To Market,
to Market. Among the factors weighing heavily on public disaffection with Democratic
governance is the downturn occasioned by their policies, which hamper production, raise prices, and
allow widespread retail theft. Robert Barnes has done the math: "Under #Trump, real median
family household incomes rose 15% in just 3 years, the highest rate since after World War 2. Under
#Biden, real median family household incomes fell 5% in just 3 years, the fastest rate of decline
since the Great Depression." To be sure, the bien pensant big thinkers don't see this as a
problem. The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman offers up a defense —
essentially, voters shouldn't believe their lying eyes. "The economic data have been just
surreally good. Even optimists are just stunned," says Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.
Rewriting
history... it works more often than you think. It's maddening, but true. If
there is a choice between confronting a difficult truth and believing an obvious lie many people
will choose the latter. [...] Karine Jean-Pierre will look the Washington Press Corps in the eyes
and lie with a straight face nearly every day, and they dutifully report what she says as if it is
plausible. An infuriating example of the gaslighting people can get away with is the new line
being pushed by a growing number of COVID-19 tyrants. As fewer people retain the belief that
all the mandated measures we were forced to endure were the right things to do, the tyrants who
pushed these measures on us have taken to claiming that the mandates never happened.
Yep. Never happened. In New Zealand, which had some of the most tyrannical policies,
the new line from the current Prime Minister (who was instrumental in pushing vaccine mandates) is
that there were no vaccine mandates at all. Didn't happen. [...] The liars in these cases
aren't the problem — it is their enablers. As we saw in 2022 most of the COVID
tyrants got reelected, often with decent margins.
'The
green movement is a disinformation campaign'. This summer, wildfires from Greece to
Hawaii have been portrayed as nature's punishment for mankind's polluting activities. Each
disaster has been treated as a portent of the End Times. Reining in human development, we're
told, is the only way to avert an even more serious catastrophe. But is there any truth to
these apocalyptic claims? [...] There has been a concerted effort since the 1990s to convince
people that climate change is making natural disasters worse. Yes, there is some evidence
that climate change is causing more heatwaves and changes to precipitation. But a disaster is
defined by two things: deaths and costs. And we're not seeing an increase in either.
In fact, deaths from extreme weather events have actually drastically declined over the past
century. Only a few hundred people now die each year from natural disasters in the US, for
example. So the climate movement is undeniably a disinformation campaign.
'Identifies
as' is propaganda trickery. [Scroll down] The sentence (A) "Smith, born
male, identifies as female" is equivalent with the sentence (B) "Smith, born male, believes that he
is female." Voilà! "Identifies as" is a clever bit of propaganda because sentence (A)
appears to assert something as fact through the use of the verb phrase "identifies as." Keep in
mind that verbs usually denote action; they denote that something real is happening. The
equivalent sentence (B), however, shows that the appearance of fact in sentence (A)
is an illusion, a clever verbal trick.
Democracy
or banana republic? The Biden administration, the press, and the so-called Left have
couched their narrative as a defense of democracy and democratic values against authoritarian,
anti-vote forces; Donald Trump and his band of deplorables, ill-informed ignoramuses, and
slobbering troglodytes (they mean you and me) are framed as anti-democracy, and since they (the
progressives) have massive media power, it becomes very difficult to fight this power. What
they say becomes a kind of truth because we see it and hear it again and again. However, what
the so-called Left will never believe is that we (even deplorable ignoramuses) can think
despite what we are told again and again, and there is a schism between what we are told and what
we see. Fake news. What we start to think about are the differences between the
two, and we come up with answers.
The
Ruling Class Sits atop a Boiling Pot. People despise lies, especially lies that have
had the effect of making them feel foolish. People despise lies so much that they will go out
of their way to pretend obvious lies are somehow still based in truth. It is much more
comfortable to believe that governing institutions continue to make "honest" mistakes than to
accept that those institutions abandoned honesty a long time ago. It is easier to spin one
lie away with yet another soothing lie than to accept the darker, harder, bitter truth.
However, officially sanctioned lies tend to coagulate in the body politic much like spike proteins
clotting in the blood until, eventually, the whole system just bursts. When that happens,
people become rightly mad. They are mad not only because they finally recognize that their
government has been engaged in massive deceptions, but also because they are ashamed for having
defended obvious lies as truths for far too long. Rage is the inevitable result —
a rejection of the people and institutions responsible for such degrading self-delusions.
The
war on truth. There is an all-out, no holds barred, war on truth occurring now —
and we here in America are on its front lines, whether some of us know it or not. If we lose
this war, there can be no recovery, no return. That statement is not hyperbole, nor is
it born of ignorance or undue pessimism. Sadly, the simple fact is that it is easy to lie
today. Anyone can do so without facing any real consequences. (See also:
Dr. Fauci, the Bidens... and, well, most politicians, period.) But dare to tell the
unvarnished truth? The odds are you will be mocked, savaged, cancelled — and
possibly indicted and imprisoned.
Biden
Allies Spread Photoshopped Pictures of the President to 'Prove' He's Fit for Second Term.
As a growing number of Americans believe President Biden is too old for a second term in office,
White House allies are employing a desperate strategy to convince voters that the President is fit
enough to serve: They are photoshopping Biden's pictures. Their efforts appear to be
part of a months-long campaign to sway the 68% of voters who think Biden is too old for a second
term. Since Biden launched his re-election campaign on April 25, White House allies have
shared the same four digitally altered photos of Biden repeatedly — without
acknowledging that the photos have been edited. One edited photo even retained its original
Getty Images watermark, adding to its supposed authenticity. In each case, Democrat
influencers contrast the images with unflattering pictures of Trump, arguing that the comparison
proves Biden is not only fit for office, but also more fit than Donald Trump is.
The
new Democrat line: Hunter was selling an "illusion" of access. A week or two
ago I wrote about the "limited hangout" strategy of dealing with a crisis. It is a strategy
used by intelligence agencies that have been caught doing something illegal and/or embarrassing,
made famous during the Watergate scandal. Basically, you make a small admission to hide a
much larger scandal — make it seem like you are coming clean while still hiding the
bigger scandal. That is the new Democrat strategy dealing with the Hunter Biden
influence-peddling scandal. It is no longer possible to maintain that Joe Biden never spoke
to Hunter about his business dealings nor that he did nothing to further them. The evidence
is too voluminous, to the point of being irrefutable. So the Democrats don't even try
anymore. [Tweet]
Democrats
love to lie and cover up for lies because they only care about power. Representative
Dan Goldman now says, despite all Biden's lies that he never talked with Hunter or anyone else
about Hunter's business deals, that yes, Biden did talk to the business people but only to be nice
and things like the weather. [...] That is similar to Loretta Lynch lying, when the Justice
Department was doing their pretend investigation of Hillary, that her chance meeting with Bill was
when he came to say hello and talk to her about his grandkids and vacation. [...] And Chuck Todd,
along with most of the media, continues to pretend there was no evidence against Joe. This
from the same people who lied continuously about Trump and Russian collusion when it was obvious it
was fake news. [...] The reason we have a corrupt, incompetent, president destroying our country is
because the media, Justice Department, and other Democrats lying that the Hunter laptop was Russian
disinformation to intentionally hide the truth from the public before an election.
Climate
Crazies Have Discovered That Summertime Is Hot. "Weather isn't climate," is a popular
refrain among members of the Climate Cult whenever a sane person points out that the weather is out
of sync with their doomsday scenarios. When the weather does fit their narrative du jour,
however, it's climate. They've been on this see-saw for decades now. The summer of 2023
in the northern hemisphere is a little toastier than usual so — PRESTO! —
weather is climate again. It's easy to make things up when you're on the side of the political
aisle that has decided that words have no meanings and absolute truths are for suckers.
Maureen
Dowd can't seem to figure out who the liar-in-chief is. Joe Biden has lied
continuously throughout his Washington career. He lies about big and little things.
Here is a small sample: He lied about his college rank and grades at law school. He
plagiarized a speech as he ran for president in 1988. The media chased him from that
race. He continues to lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville to gin up racial hate and
division. He lied when he said that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation during a
debate with Trump. ([H]e clearly knew the truth[.]) He continues to lie that no one
in his family ever made money from foreign sources and that he never talked to Hunter or anyone in his
family about their business dealings. He continues to lie that he inherited a bad
economy. The economy was growing rapidly when he took office. He lied that there were
no vaccines available when he took office. He lied that inflation was caused by Russia and
the supply chain when inflation took off as soon as he forced his radically destructive government
spending on the American people. He lied that the border was under control. And he
continues to lie that his policies cut the deficit in half.
Who
wants to read 15 tweets about how the Left uses "climate change" as a rhetorical
trap? Auron MacIntyre has some thoughts to help us understand the rhetorical tricks
the Left uses and why we so often fall for them. [Tweet] We all know the climate agenda is a
hoax to gain power, but being reactionary and anti-environment is far from the correct response.
[...] The climate changes by definition. Some lefties, the RFK Jr. types, and maybe even the
Al Gores of the world, care about the environment. But most are using this as a tool to
consolidate power in a totalitarian fashion. I mean, have you read the Green New Deal? [...]
Why else would the Left be attaching EVERYTHING to "Climate Justice" or "Environmental Equity"?
It's all about one plan to consolidate power and do so as the "good guys" who care about the
planet and the poor.
Stop
the insanity, please. Precision in language is especially important in things like
science and law. And the current assault on our language is particularly troubling and acute
in both these areas. What you can say and how you can say things are being circumscribed, and
the very meaning of terms we all used to understand are being altered beyond recognition.
Suspect descriptions are being censored (in many cases you can't describe the race of a fleeing
suspect), terms such as male and female are now unacceptable, and the very meaning of certain words
with clear definitions in law are being redefined into uselessness.
The Baghdad Bob Award of the month: Kirby
on Biden Hunched Over and Mumbling Incoherently to Israeli President, "He Was Very, Very
Clear!" Top Biden [spokesman] John Kirby told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that Joe
Biden spoke 'very, very clearly' when he dropped his head down and mumbled to Israeli President
Isaac Herzog. Biden held a bilateral meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in the Oval
Office on Tuesday. It was the first time Biden had been seen publicly in days after he
returned from Europe and he was in very bad shape. 80-year-old Joe Biden hunched over and
mumbled incoherently during the meeting.
Former
DNC Head Donna Brazile Absurdly Calls Biden the 'Moderate' in 2024 Presidential Race.
One of my favorite parts of the veritable cornucopia of political absurdities is the total
inability of politicians, political advisors, and political pundits to realize that half of the
country, if not more, not only doesn't buy what they're selling but also laughs at their
willingness to publicly humiliate themselves. Let's call it a complete lack of
self-awareness. On Sunday's edition of ABC's This Week, former Democrat National Committee
(DNC) Chairwoman Donna Brazile laughably claimed — with a straight face, no
less — that Joe Biden is the moderate in the 2024 presidential race. No,
really. Never mind that Biden, regardless of which puppeteers pull his strings at any given
time, is arguably the most radical president in American history.
Democrats
[are] pretending the ERA was ratified and is the 28th Amendment. According to The New
York Times, Congressional Democrats are attempting to add the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the
Constitution a half century after the states declined to ratify the proposal. How do they
plan to do this, you ask? By introducing legislation stating that the ERA has, in fact, been
ratified. Brilliant! Just ignore reality and flat out lie. Via a legal document,
yet! While flat-out lying is by no means an unprecedented political tactic, the Democrats
have recently made this their go-to ploy. Don't like your gender? Just say you are a
different one. Don't care for the truth? Simply tell a bald-faced lie — or
assert to the world that you are living your truth. Trump colluded with Russia!
And Hunter's laptop bears "all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign." The
coronavirus certainly didn't come from the Wuhan lab! We just need "two weeks to flatten the
curve." The planet's going to spontaneously combust in 12 years! Our coastal cities will be
underwater soon! "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Biden is a nice, normal man.
"I never had sex with that woman... not one time!" Etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Justin
Trudeau blames 'American right-wing' for Muslims opposing LGBTQ curriculum. Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau blamed the "American right-wing" for Canadian Muslims' opposition to gender
ideology and LGBTQ curriculum in K-12 education. The video was of Trudeau speaking with the
Muslim community last week at a Calgary mosque — Baitun Nur Mosque — after
hundreds of protesters rallied against gender ideology in schools, chanting "Leave our kids alone."
The frustration reached a boiling point after audio surfaced of an Edmonton Public Schools
teacher berating Muslim students for skipping school in order to avoid pride events.
The
Big Gaslight. The term "gaslighting" was just selected word of the year because of
its overuse. But why would that usage increase have happened? Maybe because the
practice itself has become more common as a political weapon. In practical parlance,
"gaslighting" means trying to persuade others not to believe their "lying eyes," or not to believe
what they already had known as established fact. Recent examples of such disinformation
themes include:
• The summer 2020 riots were not really riots but "mostly peaceful" demonstrations.
• The Hunter Biden laptop emails are not real but instead a Russian disinformation tactic.
• The U.S. southern border is closed.
• It was Republicans, not Democrats, who favored defunding the police.
• Voter ID requirements are actually voter suppression.
• Critical Race Theory is not really racist — and is not being taught in schools anyway.
• The Afghanistan surrender/retreat was really a great achievement and success.
Curiously, all these familiar ploys are authored by the same political camp.
World's
Shortest Book: 'The Promises I Kept,' By President Joe Biden. During his 2020
presidential campaign, Joe Biden tweeted that "we need to restore honor and decency to the White
House." On his first day in office, he promised to "bring transparency and truth back to
government." For anyone keeping score, both of these promises bit the dust after cocaine was
discovered in the White House and the Secret Service started stonewalling the public about the
details. This comes days after Biden let "transgenders" parade around topless on the White
House lawn while he desecrated the American flag, and years into running what is widely described
as the most opaque administration in history. Decency and transparency? What a
laugh. They are just the two of the growing list of campaign promises — big and
small — on which Biden has failed to deliver. If anything, he's on track to set an
all-time record for broken promises.
So
Trump is to blame for the media's absence of interest in Biden and his scandals? It
is bad enough that Joe Biden blames President Trump for his incompetence and destructive
policies. It is much worse when the media, the politicized Justice Department, other
government bureaucrats, and other Democrats collude to cover up the corruption of the Bidens, and
seek to destroy Trump with lies and endless investigations and then blame Trump for their actions.
[...] How many times have they called Trump a racist, xenophobe, homophobe, Russian stooge, and
dictator to disparage him while they campaigned for Hillary and Biden? When Trump stopped
people from traveling from China at the beginning of COVID, Biden and others called him a xenophobe
and racist. Soon after that they disparaged Trump for reacting too slowly to COVID. How
many times was Trump called a racist for doing his job to enforce immigration laws passed by
Congress? The media, entertainers, and other Democrats essentially stopped reporting on the
border as soon as Biden took office. That shows the concerns for kids were fake and the
attacks were political. The media went as far as showing pictures of kids in cages during the
Obama/Biden years and lied by saying they were happening because of Trump. They essentially
would do anything to gin up racial hate and division against Trump. Biden and others spread
lies about what Trump said in Charlottesville to gin up hate and division. No matter how many
times Trump denounced white supremacists, including at Charlottesville, Biden continues to spread
the lie.
Liberal
Supreme Court justice comes out in favor of segregation. Supreme Court Justice
Ketanji Brown Jackson is trying to put one over on America. In her dissent from the high
court's long-overdue ruling against racial preferences in college admissions, she cited an utterly
bogus statistic. "For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the
likelihood that the baby will live," she wrote in rationalizing Harvard's bigotry against Asian
American applicants. Yet that black infant mortality number is obvious bunk. If
it were true, it would mean thousands of black infants dying every year thanks to white
doctors' secret racism.
The
Identity Lie. The current travesty of giving estrogen to boys and testosterone to
girls and of cutting off their genitalia has its roots in a lie that was promoted by the homosexual
community. It is the identity lie. It is the lie that people are born gay, that they
have no choice, and that they are not responsible for their behavior. This lie is told by the
media. It is told in our schools. It is everywhere.
Karine
Jean-Pierre: Racial preferences are an 'important constitutional right'. Employing
the euphemism "affirmative action," President Biden's press secretary claimed that there is a
constitutional right to receive preferential treatment based on one's race. She was
discussing recent Supreme Court decisions on MSNBC with host Ari Melber, and made the extraordinary
claim without citing any language in the Constitution — because of course there isn't
any to support her and, contrarily, language in the 14th Amendment that prohibits it. The
bogus claim came a minute into a nearly 5½ minute, very friendly interview, and did not
elicit any pushback from the host, or even any audible reaction to the claim. KJP never
directly addressed his question about what the Biden administration planned to do, beyond
unspecified "executive action[.]" The remained of the friendly interview contained a number
of obviously planned buzzwords that were repeated, such as "unprecedented" to describe the Supreme
Court's recent decisions. Of course, the media will never ask where in the Constitution there
is a right to racial preferences or "affirmative action."
Democrats
Baseless Lies Are Responsible For Today's Divisiveness. For as long as I can
remember, the Democratic Party has claimed to be a champion for all Americans, particularly for the
working class, minorities and for those who are considered marginalized, oppressed or
downtrodden. But somewhere between fighting to keep slavery alive (Andrew Johnson);
deliberately reducing the number of black civilian employees from the federal workforce and airing
a film that glorified the Ku Klux Klan at the White House (Woodrow Wilson); throwing Japanese
Americans into internment camps during World War II (Franklin Delano Roosevelt); promoting a
culture of government dependence, poverty and fatherlessness (Lyndon Johnson); creating racial
tension by declaring cops racist — leading to further destruction of our inner cities,
while mocking legitimate concerns of disgruntled blue collar midwesterners frustrated by decreasing
wages, lack of employment opportunities — and an opioid epidemic hollowing out their
communities (Barack Obama); the intentional failure to enforce our country's immigration laws,
contributing to a four decade high of inflation by spending trillions of taxpayer dollars on
Democrat pet projects that mostly help special interest groups, referring to roughly half the
country as violent extremists and weaponizing the Department of Justice — to throw his
leading political rival in prison (Joe Biden); it seems fair to say the Democratic Party has fallen
well short of being a champion for anyone, except for its own desperate attempt to stay in power at
any and all costs.
Misleading
the Public on Law. New York University (NYU) Law professor Rick Pildes, among a
partisan academic group including NYU Law's Bob Bauer, who worked for the Obama administration,
wrote a guest essay in the New York Times recently where he opines on the SCOTUS decision
over state voting procedures. In doing so, he adds to the long list of law school professors
who are deliberately misleading the public. There are some formal issues to consider in this
case, including the Court's dissent by Justices Clarence Thomas and others, and the concept of
"mootness," but I'd like to leave those technical and law factors to others, and focus on what
Pildes does in his NYT essay: deliberately twist the law in order to serve the DNC, and by so
doing, abandon law's professional standards.
Virginity
is a social construct says Planned Parenthood. I shouldn't be surprised, since
Planned Parenthood would be the last organization in the world to know anything about
virginity. But as a middle-aged guy my imagination isn't what it used to be, so I was a bit
taken aback by this hot take from the organization: [Tweet] Having once been a teenager I
can assure you that virginity is much more than a social construct, although admittedly different
societies have different takes on what import it has in social life.
WH
Economic Adviser Claims 'Bidenomics' Is Actually Incredibly Popular Despite Rock-Bottom
Polling. Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Jared Bernstein claimed
Wednesday that President Joe Biden's economic policies were approved by over 70% of Americans,
despite polling showing most voters disapprove of Biden's economic performance. "Does he have
his work cut out for him though convincing people that this will work and that there is a light at
the end of the tunnel?" NewsNation host Marni Hughes asked Bernstein, referring to Biden's economic
plan. "Right now 33% of Americans approve of his leadership on the economy. He's sitting with
a 43% approval rating, that is the highest he's seen since August."
Four
Ways the Deep State Betrays Americans. In defending America's two-tiered (in)justice
system currently dedicated to covering up Biden family crimes while persecuting Trump and his
supporters, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland had the audacity to declare that any condemnation of the
secret police "constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy and
essential to the safety of the American people." Hear that, plebes? "Democracy" will
survive only if the people's voices are silenced and the powerful institutions are obeyed.
The opinions of commoners are "attacks," while the crimes of institutions are "essential."
To save "democracy," defend the dictatorship!
The
Endless Lies Democrats Tell In Defense Of Their Failed Californian Utopia. Democrats
and the corporate media in general have invested an intense amount of energy into a propaganda
campaign that paints California as the central pillar of the US economy and American
governance. According to them, California is a socialist Utopia essentially holding the rest
of the nation up on its shoulders, and without such blue states we would spiral into
oblivion. For the sake of focus, I will only break down California's mismanagement
here. Specifically, I think it's important to debunk many of the false fiscal claims made by
Gavin Newsom; the same claims which are spreading like a cancer into leftist talking points all
over the internet.
Living
in a Media World. From National Public Radio (aka state radio), I've gained
information that while guns are dangerous in the hands of most of our fellow citizens, they are
necessary for transgendered Americans, who must stockpile them because of "hateful rhetoric." Our
brave sexual pioneers are being constantly threatened by Christian bigots and other vicious
obscurantists. NPR has also taught me that whatever riots followed the killing of George
Floyd were mostly peaceful and that the slaying of Jordan Neely by Daniel Penny was driven by
contempt for a minority member struggling with mental illness. The transgendered youth who
murdered six people, including three children, in a Christian school in Nashville did not really
cause this "tragedy." The non-binary shooter was a victim of Christian prejudice and "the gun
lobby," and what he did out of emotional desperation led to "an escalation of hate" against the
LGBT community. Yesterday I had the scales fall further from my eyes when I discovered that
Hunter Biden had not committed a host of felonies, some of which implicated his dad. Hunter
is a recovering drug addict whom Joe Scarborough on MSNBC is defending against "hyperventilating
right-wingers" who have taken their playbook from Joe McCarthy[.]
What
does 'freedom of the press' mean when the media eagerly join with the censors? Right
now, censorship is more prevalent than at any time in our lifetimes. And it's actually
embraced by the mainstream media, the Biden administration and the Democrats' party as a
whole. The Twitter Files published by a group of independent journalists, show the intense
censorship promoted by the administration and its agencies through pressure on the tech
companies. The mainstream media ignores and suppresses the revelations of the Twitter Files
and anything else that would embarrass the administration or offend its supporters. Democrats
profess to be concerned about censorship, but only in so far as it involves what they call "book
banning" in Florida, which is really regulating what books can be included in public school
libraries. That is something that has always occurred everywhere and with good reason,
because some books are not appropriate for young people. But until it became likely that
Governor Ron DeSantis might be a presidential contender, it had never before been called "book banning."
Karine
Jean-Pierre Claims Joe Biden [was] 'Not Involved' in Donald Trump Indictment. White
House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed President Joe Biden "was not involved" in the
indictment of former President Donald Trump. During Tuesday's press conference, Jean-Pierre
responded to a reporter's question about whether Biden was involved in or influenced the
investigation or indictment of his political rival.
Is
the deep state pushing the UFO/alien narrative on conservatives? [Scroll down]
There is one constituency in the US that has not believed the accepted narratives of the last three years
about COVID, the 2020 election, J6, the Ukraine war, and many other controversies. This is a problem
that the powers-that-be will need to address if they want to rule without dissent.
Don't use
their language. Over the weekend, Jim Hoft, the founder of Gateway Pundit, a popular
conservative web site, used the phrase "assigned male at birth" in a story about a 17-year-old boy
pretending to be a girl who then beat [up] a real girl in the girls' room at school. [...] The Lord
does not assign you a sex; he creates you as a man or a woman depending on your place in His
plan. The lefty pitch to kids for changing sexes is you are assigned by the doctor and
doctors make mistakes. This eliminates God. Always keep in mind that the devil's
greatest trick is not in making people believe he doesn't exist, but in making people believe God
doesn't. The abortion part is the implication that you are not a baby until birth because you
are assigned at birth. This means you were nothing before birth but a bellyache (and back
ache), therefore killing you in the womb is a choice, not a crime. Finally, being assigned a
sex means you can change your assignment.
A
Government at War with Its People. When the government empowers itself to decide what
is true and uses that authority to tell flagrant lies, it wages an information war against its
citizens. This war directed against Americans' minds has been raging for quite some
time. What is different today is its pace and brazenness. Lies about Russia collusion,
COVID, vaccine effectiveness, climate change, Biden family corruption, impartial justice,
biological sex, American history, border security, debt sustainability, crime rates, gun safety,
banking solvency, military engagements, racial disparities, religious doctrine, Western
civilization, childhood development, healthy obesity, government surveillance, hydrocarbon energy,
human slavery, acclaimed literature, anthropology — no topic is off limits for those who
manipulate the public for a living. Increasingly, the question is not whether the government
is lying, but rather how malicious its intentions are.
Lies
We Shouldn't Have Told Our Children. [#7] The worst of all the lies —
There is no such thing as absolute truth. That is also an attractive dictum because we
can save ourselves the trouble of really thinking about difficult issues. Just grab some
tolerance and let it all slide. If there's no truth, there's nothing to stand up for, nothing
we're really responsible for, no thought required, no information necessary. If we raise
intellectually lazy children, they won't be there for us when we need them. They will vote
nonchalantly, work lazily, and try to become beings they're not. You can't be transgender and
be much interested in veracity.
Making
QAnon scary again. Globalists are reviving the QAnon bogeyman for the 2024 election,
ignoring its interment after 2020. It was mothballed after successfully lulling
Trump-supporters into complacency. The outlines of a sophisticated psy-op campaign are coming
into focus. At the 2023 Frontiers Forum in Switzerland, Israeli historian, World Economic
Forum contributor, and professional worrywart Dr. Yuval Harari warned that A.I.-generated
cults will commandeer public discourse: [...] Google "BLM protests mostly peaceful" to gauge the
magnitude of flatulent gaslighting the swamp emits by ignoring the wholesale deaths, riots,
looting, arson, vandalism, and arrests of 2020. As fewer believe the lies, gaslighting
increases. Those railing against conspiracy theories for decades warn that everything is now
an A.I.-generated conspiracy. Confusion is the globalists' remaining gambit. Harari's
calls to regulate A.I. contribute to gutting the First Amendment.
Transgenderism
and its War on Truth. In all the conversation that is prevalent throughout the Earth
today, there is almost nothing further from the truth than the absurd and evil notion that men can
become women, and that women can become men, or similarly, the idea that sex (or "gender") is not
binary and rather "a spectrum." These ideas are so absurd and so far from the truth (in line with
2 + 2 = 5) that many modern liberals refuse — or perhaps more accurately,
have yet — to embrace them. We shouldn't be surprised that we are now having to debate
what is a male and what is a female, or that sex is binary. Transgenderism, and all its
fallacies, is simply what results when one abandons the notion of absolute truth. The idea
that some things are settled for all time is not a tenet of modern liberalism. Saying
that "some things are settled for all time" is simply another way of saying that we live in a
universe where "absolute truth" exists. I've never quite understood why it's "absolute truth"
and not simply "truth."
The
military is lying to you, of course. Both Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and General
Milley, Chair of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, insist that the Department of Defense neither funds
nor supports drag queen story hours on military bases. That was and remains a lie. When
presented with the evidence in a Congressional hearing Austin repeated the lie, even when
confronted by incontrovertible evidence that he was spreading falsehoods. He lied. Then
he lied again. And again. I have no idea if he was under oath, but it shouldn't
matter. Lying to Congress and the American people is unacceptable, except when a Democrat is
in the White House. Then it is apparently mandatory. [Tweet]
Hang
All the Members of the Liars' Club? Federal prosecutors last week announced the
indictment of U.S. Representative George Santos (R-N.Y.) on a host of charges, including misuse of
federal campaign funds and wire fraud, almost all of them resulting from his pathological
lies. Certainly, Santos deserved the attention of prosecutors for lying on federal documents
and affidavits that may have helped him win a congressional seat as well as personal lucre.
But if that's the case, why haven't federal prosecutors also gone after Senator Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.)? She clearly lied her way into a Harvard Law School professorship and an erstwhile
presidential candidacy by claiming, in part, quite falsely she was a Native American, supposedly
Harvard's first indigenous law professor. Her Senate colleague, Richard Blumenthal
(D-Conn.), flatly lied (he said "misspoke") about being a Vietnam War veteran. He
never confessed to "misspeaking" about his résumé until caught. Both senators,
apparently like Santos, gained political traction in their various campaigns from such lies, but
the two apparently never put them in writing, or at least not as blatantly as did Santos.
Build
Back Borderless, Bankrupt, and Broken. When the same government agents who conducted
warrantless searches of Americans' cell phones in order to nab every patriotic granny waving a flag
near the Capitol on January 6 claim they have no way of tracking illegal aliens in the United
State, they're lying. When the same national security surveillance State that censors
Americans' online speech claims not to know how many illegal aliens are here, it is lying.
When the same IRS that regularly targets conservatives for their political beliefs claims it can't
track tens of millions of migrants working here illegally — or worse, stealing Americans'
social security numbers and fraudulently assuming their identities — it is lying.
When the same Intelligence Community that has eyes on every inch of Ukraine's border claims that the
U.S. border is just too long to reasonably guard, it is lying.
The
White House Keeps Twisting the Truth About Florida. In late April 2022, the White
House named Nina Jankowicz — who believed in the Steele dossier and considered the
Hunter Biden laptop story Russian disinformation — its disinformation czar. But
the Department of Homeland Security Disinformation Governance Board that Jankowicz headed lasted
only four months; Jankowicz herself resigned after just three weeks. A year later, it's hard
to ignore the irony that a White House that created an office allegedly to combat disinformation
keeps trafficking in it to damage its political opponents. President Biden and his press
secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, are spreading disinformation about Florida schools to discredit
Governor Ron DeSantis. At a White House briefing on April 20, Jean-Pierre referred to
Florida's Parental Rights in Education law as "the state's dystopian Don't Say Gay law."
There's nothing "dystopian" about the legislation, which prevents K-12 teachers in the state from
engaging in "classroom instruction" on "sexual orientation or gender identity" through third grade
but doesn't prevent teachers or students from saying the word "gay," having conversations about
being gay, or discussing gay people.
First,
Posit a Counter-Factual.... One of the hallmarks of Leftist methodology is to assert
blatant falsehoods as real and then act on them — with the fierce urgency of
now! — as if they were true. At first dismissed as too absurd to take
seriously, this approach has proven highly successful. The triumph of relativism and the
concomitant loss of belief in even the most fundamental verities has resulted in the complete
emasculation of the culture — and don't expect newly defeminized women to take up the
slack. The Left's squadrons of vicious, shameless lawyers take as their operating principle:
"we can make the argument that...," the argument being wholly imaginary. But who's to call
them on it? They may win some and lose some, but every win goes in the permanent win column
and every loss can always be relitigated later. And they're getting bolder.

Proving Antony Blinken Lied to Congress Leaves Republicans at a Crossroads. Whether
Antony Blinken lied or not to Congress is no longer up for debate. That's the headline after
a bombshell transcript of testimony given by the Secretary of State shows that he claimed to have
never had email correspondence with Hunter Biden. That claim was wrapped in a broader answer
in which Blinken attempted to distance himself from Joe Biden's troubled son. [Tweet] But
as I shared in a recent write-up, Blinken had extensive contacts with the younger Biden.
Those numerous exchanges culminated in setting up an in-person meeting between the two.
Further emails confirm that the meeting did take place. That's made more significant
by the time period, which just so happened to be when Hunter Biden was on the board of Ukrainian
gas company Burisma. To put an even fine point on the probable corruption, Hunter Biden
contacted another Burisma board member to announce his meeting with Blinken. Now, why would
he do that if Burisma wasn't the topic of discussion?
KJP
Claims Illegal Immigration is Down '90 Percent'. During Monday's press conference,
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a bold claim that illegal immigration has
decreased by more than 90 percent. However, critics are calling out her statement as a lie
and are accusing her of spreading misinformation. "When it comes to illegal migration, you
have seen it come down by more than 90%, and that's because of the actions that this president has
taken," she said. [Tweet] Others have pointed out that KJP's statement is particularly
egregious given the ongoing crisis at the border. With thousands of migrants still attempting
to enter the country illegally, it's doubtful that illegal immigration has decreased dramatically
so quickly.

Democrat
apparatchiks try to gaslight voters about Biden. There's lots of gaslighting going on
in America. The most obvious example, of course, is that we're being told there is no such
thing as biological sex. The facts belie that, but even our children are being told to deny
the evidence of their own eyes. [...] Democrats are setting up a "narrative" that will allow them
to create imaginary votes for Biden to enable him to win in November 2024. If Trump is the
candidate, the many investigations, lawsuits, and indictments will be used to say that Biden got
more votes because nobody other than the small number of MAGA fanatics could possibly vote for
someone as compromised as Trump. Alternatively — and this is where the lies about
Biden's physical and mental well-being come into play — if a younger-than-Trump is the
candidate, we'll be reminded non-stop that Biden is every bit as vibrant as the Republican
opponent, only he also has the experience and insights of his many years in politics and his four
years in the White House. When the fake vote counts come in, that narrative will explain why
someone younger couldn't beat this dynamic octogenarian. They know they're lying, and they
don't care that we conservatives know they're lying. All they need to do is gaslight enough
people to explain their win.
GOP
Senator Claims Blinken Lied Under Oath About Hunter Biden Contacts. Secretary of
State Antony Blinken lied to Congress about his communications with President Joe Biden's son
Hunter Biden, a GOP senator claimed on Sunday [4/30/2023]. A new report, which revealed emails
sent between Blinken and Biden in 2015, led Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) to declare plans to
release the transcript from a December 2020 interview in which Blinken allegedly said such
communications never happened. "Now, because of more information that's come out, we know that
he lied bold-faced to Congress about never e-mailing Hunter Biden," Johnson said during an
appearance on Fox News — alluding to what would be a crime that could warrant up to five
years in prison. "My guess is, he told a bunch of other lies, that, hopefully, we will be able
to bring him and his wife back in, tell them to preserve their records," he added during an
interview with "Sunday Morning Futures" anchor Maria Bartiromo. "You cannot trust Joe Biden.
You cannot trust Hunter Biden. You can't trust the Biden family. You can't trust so
many of the people that they have surrounded themselves with." [Tweet]
The
Ruling Class's Stalinist Purge. First and foremost, evil lies. It should
surprise no one, then, that Joe Biden's handlers have framed his re-election campaign as a struggle
for "freedom," when his administration has done as much damage to American freedom as any in the
country's two hundred and fifty years. "The question we are facing," the commie puppet read from
his script, "is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or
fewer." During these last few years of the Biden Gang's White House occupation, no honest
observer could pretend that freedom or constitutional rights have been protected. But evil
always drives honesty away and enshrines outrageous falsehoods as sacred truths. The same
pretend president who has stolen liberty from Americans and punished political dissent will now
pretend to stand for virtues he reviles.
Democrats
choose doublespeak to confuse voters. In a video announcement that he is running for
reelection President Biden is portrayed as a champion of freedom. In reality, no president
has done more to impinge on the freedoms of Americans. First, Biden says he is standing up
for fundamental freedoms and then he says he is about standing up for personal freedoms. This
is doublespeak. Doublespeak is when words seem to be about something they are not. It
is another way of lying. Conservatives need to call it out as that. In truth, Democrats
are about control. The only way they are about freedom is in wanting to be able to do
whatever they like in their personal lives while freely imposing restrictions on everybody else,
and they want the freedom to pursue power unopposed.
FDA
Commissioner is lying again. "Misinformation" is the Left's new boogyman, up there
with White Supremacists, carbon dioxide, and transphobes. We are supposed to believe that all
these things are threats to human existence itself and that all of them must be ruthlessly
suppressed in order to save humanity. Yeah, whatever. The FDA Commissioner
Dr. Robert Califf has apparently been traveling the country making a rather amazing claim:
that misinformation is the leading cause of death in America. If so, that's pretty
shocking. A number of studies suggest that medical errors may be the third-leading cause of
death in America, resulting in 250,000 to 440,000 deaths a year, depending upon how you define
medical errors. The data is all over the map, with some estimates as low as 22,000 a year to
high-end estimates that seem implausible to me. There is even a medical term for death caused
by a doctor: iatrogenic.
What
is a Democrat? I am a Democrat, and I think you, as an average American, are an
idiot. You let me get away with everything. I can tell you I'm going to do something
unethical, criminal, unconstitutional, or unprecedented, and you seldom try to stop me, or call me
out on it. I control the news cycle and my loyal press puppets repeat whatever I say without
question. Every time you get any attention complaining about me, I just do something else to
distract and reset the news again. I write most of the news by feeding the talking points to
my puppets. Haven't you seen the video proof? I also rewrite history by simple
repetition. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to
believe it." That's what I do. I lie big, loud, often and repeatedly to accuse you of any
variety of unspeakable things, most of which I'm doing myself. If you challenge me, I'll ruin
you. I'll make up a lie, then release the puppets. Maybe I'll make a call to your
employer, or your local prosecutor's office. Either way, you'll be too busy to bother me
again. Just ask Michael Flynn how it works.
We
Tolerate Entirely Too Much Lying From Politicians. RFK Jr., in his recent
announcement of his candidacy for president, declared that he was going to do something truly
radical if elected president: tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular[. ...] The
idea of a politician being held to such a standard shouldn't be radical, but it absolutely
is. At this point, we simply take it for granted that if a government actor's lips are
moving, he's probably lying. The only questions are how much of what he's saying
is exaggerated, distorted, or outright fabricated, and for what purpose? And because the
corporate media that is supposed to expose and chronicle politicans' lies is almost always in on
the deception itself, the onus falls on the individual or a trusted independent media source to
sort fact from fiction. What this leads to is a devastating decay in trust in government and
an erosion of civic engagement of the sort seen in Eastern Europe in the heyday of Soviet communism.
House
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Says Men in Women's Sports is an Issue 'That Doesn't
Exist'. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claimed today that men in women's
sports is an issue 'that doesn't exist.' He said this after House Republicans passed a bill
to protect girls and women in sports with zero votes from Democrats. The whole country is
talking about this issue. For Jeffries to claim that it doesn't exist is a blatant lie.
[Video clip] Note how Jeffries talks about 'trans kids' as if that is a totally normal
thing. It isn't.
How
do we make sure totalitarianism doesn't rear its head again? [Scroll down]
Since their malevolence has no bounds, they innately know that projection, or accusing their
opponents of what they are doing, is a perfect way to confuse the situation and get most people to
ignore the argument. They also know that supposedly having a new system of government and a
faux noble cause is a great way to engender false plaudits from most people, as Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn once said: "To do evil, a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing
is good." Supposedly saving the planet gives them the cachet to do whatever they want, all for
the cause of fighting global cooling, warming, climate change, or whatever climate cause they
conjure up.
Everything
We Have Been Told About the War in Ukraine is a Lie. We have been told since the
beginning of the conflict in Ukraine that it is not a proxy war between the United States and
Russia. We've been told that there are no U.S. forces deployed in the war zone, and we have
been told that Ukraine is winning. That is the narrative that has been pushed by the media
and our government on repeat for more than a year. But the leaked documents completely
shatter that narrative. The leak revealed that there are U.S. forces deployed in
Ukraine. In fact, this was confirmed on Wednesday by John Kirby in an interview with Fox
News. This is not only a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia. We are quite literally
in the middle of a hot war with Russia. A war which has not been approved by Congress as our
laws would require. That makes it a crime. The documents also reveal that Ukrainian
forces are in dire straits. [...] Furthermore, just two weeks ago Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
made the assertion that Ukraine was winning the war while he was testifying before Congress.
That is not true. Ukraine is not winning the war and Austin knew that when he made a claim to
the contrary. Lying before Congress is a crime. And now the administration is asking
the media to cover all of this up.
The
Most Important Thing To Be Learned From The Teixeira (Ukraine Docs) Leaks. America no
longer has a free press; more specifically, the vast majority of the media are simply mouthpieces
for the UniParty and/or the Biden-regime: [Tweets] But just keep telling yourselves that 2024
will be different than 2020[,] that all we need to do is nominate Trump or all that we need to do
is "move on" past Trump[,] and that magically the media that routinely LIE to us will suddenly
become truth-tellers, that the ballot-harvesters will disappear, that the Democrat mega-billionaires
who are literally buying votes will go back to buying super-yachts.
Janet
Yellen says the U.S. economy is 'obviously performing exceptionally well'. Inflation
is kicking back up. The dollar is falling. People are pulling money out of even big
banks now and buying gold. The dollar is losing its reserve status. Discouraged workers
are dropping out of the workforce. Layoffs are coming. And recession is "baked in the
cake." [Tweet] But don't tell Janet Yellen, Joe Biden's Treasury secretary. Out on
Planet Biden, the nutty professor is telling us the economy is in good shape.
Josh
Hawley Rips Into AG Garland Over Senate Testimony. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) ripped
into Attorney General Merrick Garland over his recent testimony, arguing that at least some of what
he said before the Senate had been misleading at best and at worst, outright "false." Hawley
sent a letter to Garland's office on Tuesday morning, sharing it publicly in a tweet. "Merrick
Garland told me — under oath — the FBI was not targeting Catholic parishes.
That appears to have been a lie," the Missouri senator tweeted. "I want the truth." [Tweet]
Fiddling
America Away. The last few weeks, the world had been writing off the United States as
either crazy or irrelevant as it watches America cannibalize itself. Friends tremble at our
sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the
ascendant non-American side. The symptoms of our decline abroad appear everywhere. The
more Joe Biden brags about the crippling oil sanctions on Russia, friends like India and allies
like Japan ignore them. And why not, when Biden has no idea how long the war in Ukraine will
last, or how much wherewithal the United States can, should, or will give Kyiv, or how its
on-to-Red-Square blank check will finally end? Big Biden talks about more solar and wind
farms, and green new deals won't fill the gas tanks in Munich or heat the homes of Kyoto, or lower
the price of imported oil in the United Kingdom. Claiming the Afghanistan mess was a success
fools no one.
The Real
Existential Threat. he two subjects Democrats like to talk about the most are democracy and
existential threats, threats to our democracy and existence. Since Democrats live in a Bizarro world,
everything they say is opposite of reality and priority. These threats to our existence if made in
opposite order of consequence would be Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, and [...] the Democrats themselves!
The
media-Deep State mind meld. [Scroll down] Nearly every outlet uses
virtually the same phrases to denounce conservatives and further its agenda. Guns bad.
Abortion rights good. "Toxic masculinity" bad. "Trans women" good. Appropriation
bad. Biological men in women's locker-rooms and bathrooms good. Climate change
bad. Fundamentally transforming the United States good. And on and on, ad
infinitum. The mainstream media will vociferously proclaim any conspiracy theory to be true,
and any truth to be a conspiracy theory. Doubt that? They aggressively and shamelessly
promoted the "Russian-Collusion" fallacy for well-nigh two years but reported that the Hunter Biden
laptop story "had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation." Then came their reporting on the
coronavirus pandemic, and the subsequent mask, social-distancing and vaccine mandates.
If
Trump is bad, Clinton was worse. [Scroll down] [Bill] Clinton paid no
penalty: he was above the law as applied by shameless Democrats, who now exhibit contempt not
just for Trump, but for all Republicans. In the name of "defending democracy," this grotesque
perversion of former liberalism is hyper illiberal, puking on the First Amendment under the guise
of throttling "hate speech," while spewing hatred through BLM, Antifa, and a twisted denigration of
murdered children, calling instead for "vengeance" on behalf of unhinged transgender
miscreants. The Rule of Law stands no chance when biology and facts are treated as malleable
fiction. Vaccines touted as "98% effective" don't work while sickening Americans, for a
disease created in a lab but blamed on market animals. Puberty-blocking hormones are
gushingly pushed as salvific, ignoring their experimental nature, lifelong dependency, probable
harms, and the underlying fact that most youth transgenderism is an idiotic child fad. This
spin-baloney is now in full churn against the trumped up shenanigans against Donald Trump.
The
Only Way to Restore the Norms Is to Finish Them Off. Mutually assured destruction
works. But the "mutual" part is just as important as the "destruction" part. When you
don't make it mutual, when your sissy rectitude reacts to them wrecking you by whimpering about how
hypocritical they are, then it's only us who get destroyed. And that does not work for
me. This is not to say that every red state functionary and Republican federal official needs
to start lying and cheating like the Democrats do. That is what the Democrats are doing.
Whoopi
Mocks Conservatives Who Lost Everything In Tornadoes: 'There Hasn't Been Much Denying Of Climate
Change'. Whoopi Goldberg mocked conservatives during Thursday's broadcast of "The
View," claiming that she hadn't heard as many people denying climate change since their houses had
been "blown down ... for the fourth or the fifth time." Goldberg joined her co-hosts on the ABC
midday talk show in a preemptive post-mortem of the Republican Party in the wake of former
President Donald Trump's indictment on Tuesday — beginning with co-host Joy Behar's
claim that the party would never win another election. [...] Behar went on to claim that people
would refuse to vote Republican because they didn't want to see more school shootings or tornadoes,
appearing to suggest that voting Democrat would somehow prevent those things from happening.
White
House Releases 11-Page Review of Biden Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal, Blaming Trump for Biden's
Bad Decisions. Despite the Biden White House having complete control over the issues
and events during their withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which included the murder of 13 U.S.
servicemen during a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport, the Biden administration has to blame
Donald Trump. Pathetic doesn't even begin to appropriately outline the issue, and even U.S.
corporate media can see it. Without announcing the release in advance, the White House
dropped an 11-page after action report claiming the prior administration was in control of all
their decision making in the summer and fall of 2021.
Biden's
shameful Afghanistan whitewash blames TRUMP for disastrous withdrawal that killed 13 service
members. The disastrous Afghanistan evacuation that led to the death of 13 U.S.
service members and hundreds of civilians was Donald Trump's fault — and the scenes of Afghans
falling from planes and the Taliban shooting people in the streets wasn't chaotic, the White House
said Thursday [4/6/2023]. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby defended the Biden
administration's actions in Kabul during the disastrous withdrawal in August 2021, after releasing
a report detailing the reasons why they think it unfolded. Kirby said the administration was
'proud' of how U.S. forces carried out the withdrawal, as the Taliban toppled the American-backed
Afghan government the U.S. spent trillions over 20 years to keep stable.
The Editor says...
I am confident that this deceitful report is the work of Barack H. Obama, and Associates. Why?
(1) Joe Biden could not have written it, because he can't put a coherent sentence together, and (2) It was
Barack H. Obama's long-standing habit to blame most of his failures on George W. Bush.
Chuck
Schumer Claims Trump 'is subject to the same laws as every American'. In response to
the Trump indictment, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is saying that Trump is subject to the
same laws as everyone else. This has become a Democrat talking point. How many times
have you heard Democrats say no one is above the law? It's a total lie. If it was true,
Pelosi, Hillary, Biden and countless other Democrats would already be in jail.
The Editor says...
To that list you could also add the mystery man who broke Jeffrey Epstein's neck, 30 million illegal aliens,
and Sam Brinton.

Finance
and the 'Great Reset'. We know we are in a communist-type revolution because we are
being deceived by our government and legacy and social media, which are largely captured. And
the deceit concerns the very things that are vital to our nation's welfare and survival:
• Lies about our insecure southern border facilitating an explosion of illegal
immigrants, terrorists, criminals, and Chinese agents coming into the U.S.
•
Lack of transparency behind the dangerous biological gain-of-function research funded by the U.S. that hatched COVID-19.
• Lies from U.S. public health care agency administrators, who imposed mandates on face masks,
social distancing, lockdowns and then the untested "emergency use authorization" vaccines on the people.
• Attempted denial of the rights of parents in the care and education of their children.
• Censorship, FBI harassment, and political demonization of anyone questioning, discussing,
and investigating vote and election fraud and its effect on the stature and legitimacy of our present government.
Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Academia, Big Government, and its Media Complex have all failed us.
'Paucity
of information publicly made available' about Fetterman leaves a dangerous vacuum. On
Oct. 30 last year, just nine days before the 2022 midterm elections, Democratic Senate nominee John
Fetterman told a crowd gathered here for a rally to pay no mind to his debate performance —
just elect him, and he would be their 51st vote. [...] At the same time, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA)
went on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell, offering a word salad to the effect that Fetterman was fine, just
missing a word or two, and that he and his team had been virtuous in their transparency every step
of the way. Except that they had not. The challenge reporters and his constituents have
faced has never been the illnesses from which the father of three suffers, whether it be the stroke,
the heart condition, or the current mental health crisis. Rather, it has always been the lack
of transparency coming from the personal and political team that orchestrates Fetterman's every
move. From the get-go, they have conducted a case study on how not to be forthright.
Uncommon
Senselessness: Who Are These People? While we try to avoid lying to others and to
ourselves, we cannot control those who repeatedly lie to us nor are we able to keep
conversations with liberals on topic and avoid their attempts at personalizing them through
name-calling, aspersion-casting and downright animus. We're suckers for principles and for
our faith in the inherent goodness of others. We operate on a single guiding philosophy that
includes fairness, civility and charitableness. [...] It's as if the 'blue' team enters the field
outfitted with a completely different rulebook and proceeds to play the game according to those
rules to the total confusion of the 'red' team to say nothing of the bewilderment of the fans in
the stands!
So,
That's Why John Fetterman's Hospital Stay Got Extended Another Two Weeks. Does
Pennsylvania have a U.S. Senator? I only ask because John Fetterman has been hospitalized for
what seems like a decade by now. The Keystone progressive, who somehow handily beat
Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the 2022 Senate race, was immediately riddled with health
episodes. During a Senate Democrat winter retreat, he had to be rushed to the hospital.
Fetterman would later be hospitalized again, opting to stay for a month to deal with bouts of
depression. That's when his wife ditched him to take the family on vacation. Did they
go to get some peace of mind, or did they see an opening for a holiday without worries that someone
needed to watch dad consistently? Who knows? The vacation itself wasn't controversial —
it's just the unseemly social media posts, with this family acting as if Mr. Fetterman was
fine. He's not.
Where
is John Fetterman? Episode 97. As Matt Margolis reminded us at PJ Media this
week, it has now been more than five weeks since Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman disappeared
into Walter Reed, supposedly to deal with clinical depression. But nobody has seen him
since. The regular "updates" provided by his staff have been, as Matt put it, "about as
informative as a Magic 8 Ball." We are periodically told that Fetterman is "doing better"
or "on the road to recovery" and that we should expect him back "after a few more weeks." But
we still haven't seen so much as a photo of him, to say nothing of even the briefest of interviews
so he could update his constituents personally. This week a new conspiracy theory broke out
suggesting that Fetterman has been replaced by a body double. I'm not diving down that
particular rabbit hole (the photo they used was from last May) but it certainly seems like
something quite suspicious is going on.
Obviously an impersonator. What's
Up with John Fetterman's New Face? And What Happened to the Glassy Blank Stare?
As Kristinn Taylor reported earlier at The Gateway Pundit — No one has seen any video of
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), 53, speaking or moving since he was admitted to the psych ward at
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland on February 15, allegedly for
treatment of severe clinical depression. Since then, Fetterman's staff and wife Gisele have
only released a handful of staged photos that show he is alive and at least somewhat cognizant.
No one except for his wife and a few of his senior staff members claim to have spoken with
Fetterman, but they have not provided proof. Then earlier today The Fetterman team released
photos of the new and improved John Fetterman. John looks well, healthy and happy. Now
compare that face to an earlier John Fetterman from last year during the campaign when he could not
form a sentence.
Where
Is John Fetterman? If this update was meant to reassure us that Fetterman would be
back to work at the Capitol soon, don't be fooled. Fetterman's aides have repeatedly been
moving the goalposts on us. Earlier this month, Fetterman's chief of staff, Adam Jentleson,
similarly told us that Fetterman was "well on his way to recovery" and would "be back soon."
At this point, I suspect we'll hear the same thing about Fetterman's "progress" in a few weeks,
followed by yet another one after that, and another, and another. How much longer are we
going to be subjected to this ridiculous farce? Fetterman's staff must be clueless about his
actual condition (or hiding something) because their so-called "updates" have been about as
informative as a Magic 8 Ball. It's like they're just kicking the can down the road, hoping
nobody notices how little they're actually saying, and avoiding the inevitable.
That's the Rub.
The word "democracy" has been so besmirched by dictators all over the globe that it's basically
useless anyway, but it has become a thoughtless drumbeat used to rally the troops of the
Left. Self-government is way too important a concept to be associated with such worn and
useless language, but here we are. The words that are being beaten to death are seriously
important words. "Truth" and "lie" are good examples. The Left will say anything, even
when we know, and they know we know, that they are lying. "Truth" has become nothing more than ice
cream — we all get our own favorite flavor and whether or not our flavor bears any
connection at all to reality has ceased to matter. If that's not bad enough, leftists will
then turn around and call us the liars. I trust no one who denies absolute truth (as if there
is any other kind), and I am sure that a society based on lies cannot survive because trust, which
is based on truth, is the lubricant that keeps the whole machine turning.
There's
no such thing as 'non-partisan'. There are a lot of lies, falsehoods, and empty
clichés that float around political circles, but there is no cliché emptier, more
blatantly false or overused in a more disingenuous manner, than this one: "This is not a
Democrat or Republican issue. It's non-partisan. It's an American issue." The
only thing you can be sure of when you hear this is that what follows will be very partisan,
hyper-partisan, and more party-specific than anything else you're likely to hear.
Joe
Biden Lies a Lot Even for a Democrat. We're still reeling as a nation from the fact
that the man who currently occupies the Oval Office has the mental capacity of a diminished
gnat. If we're being honest with each other — and we always are here —
Joe Biden was never the sharpest tool in the shed. A lot of what we've been witnessing since
Jan. 20, 2021, gets attributed to his age but Biden has always been a no-filter loon whose grip on
reality is tenuous on his best days. And he's always been a liar. Over the years,
many — even conservatives — have called what Biden does "embellishment."
No, he's a liar. The younger people who were duped into voting for him don't know that his
1988 presidential run was derailed because it was found that he was a big-time plagiarist in
college. That's a sign of fundamental dishonesty, something that Biden has exhibited
throughout his long, overrated career in Washington.
The
Age of Conspiracy. Going forward there are likely to be three kinds of conspiracies
history must deal with: 1) the cons, 2) the heresies that turn out to be wrong and 3) the
heresies that turn out to be right. The way to spot the "cons" is to follow the money. From this
point of view it is actually climate change ironically that looks most vulnerable. Heresies that
turn out to be wrong tend to get empirically weaker over time, while heresies that are ultimately right
become gradually more accepted. The lab leak Covid origin theory may prove an example of a conspiracy
that eventually proves true. What used to be called "conspiracy theories" now characterize the way
left/right, democrat/republican sides routinely regard each other. What's worrisome is that both sides
have hung up the phone. In a sense nobody cares about fixing the model any more, just getting even.

Eight
Startling and Uncomfortable Ways the Democrat Party Emulates the Nazi Party. [#6]
[T]he Nazis perfected the art of indoctrinating the citizenry through propaganda and "fake news."
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, is credited with saying: "If you tell a lie big
enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." This strategy has
been and continues to be used to great success by the Democrat party and their fellow travelers in
the so-called mainstream media. Whether it is the Russian collusion hoax, the so-called armed
insurrection on January 6, 2021, climate change as an existential threat to mankind,
suppression of voting rights, white supremacy running rampant, the necessity of lockdowns for the
Covid pandemic or a myriad of other fabrications, the Party hierarchy lies with impunity as a means
to their ends[,] as did the Nazis.
Joe
Biden Claims a Child Wrote to Him About the 'Gender Wage Gap'. On Monday [3/13/2023],
the official POTUS account on Twitter posted a photo of a note allegedly written by a child —
rife with grammatical and spelling errors for full effect — who was concerned about the
alleged gender pay gap. "Dear Presitent Biden," the letter begins. "I just wanted to tell
something not fair to ladies. Men are getting more money then girls. I think you should
fix this since you're the presitent. Even I'm a child and I think we should do something."
And it was signed, "From: Charlotte." Whichever Biden staffer posted the picture of the letter
tweeted along with it, "Charlotte, I couldn't agree more. Women lose thousands of dollars each
year, and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime, because of gender and racial wage gaps."
[Tweet] Is the letter real? Probably not. I'd put good money on it being fake.
But, hey, let's just forget the questions about the letter's authenticity and address the real issue
here: the gender wage gap is a myth.
CDC
Inflated Data About Teen Girls and Sexual Assault. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) inflated data about teen girls and sexual assault in a news release about a
new CDC report on teenage mental health. In 2021, the percentage of teen girls who reported
that they had ever been "forced to have sex" was up 27 percent since 2019, the health agency said,
calling it "the first increase since the CDC began monitoring this measure." The percentage of
teen girls reporting this in the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey reporting did rise,
unfortunately — but not by quite the magnitude that the CDC news release said, reports
Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler. The actual increase was not 27 percent, but
18.4 percent. And even this number leaves some room for doubt, owing to differences in data
collection between previous-year surveys and 2021.
First
Thing We Do, Let's Blame 'Deregulation'. Whenever a disaster strikes, you can bet
that a story will soon appear blaming "deregulation." So it was in the immediate aftermath of
the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. And so it is now with the collapse of Silicon
Valley Bank. Before most people even knew what had happened over the weekend, the left was
blaming President Donald Trump. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in an op-ed published in Monday's
[3/13/2023] New York Times, said that a bill Trump signed in 2018 that tweaked some banking rules
was responsible for SVB's failure. "Had Congress and the Federal Reserve not rolled back the
stricter oversight, SVB and Signature would have been subject to stronger liquidity and capital
requirements to withstand financial shocks," she wrote.
No,
Police Did Not Stem From Slave Patrols. The controversy over Atlanta's Public Safety
Training Center has resurrected a common claim made by critics of law enforcement, namely that
American policing is a direct descendant of antebellum slave patrols. A recent article at
CounterPunch magazine claims that American policing "began as 'slave patrols' to capture enslaved
Black people escaping plantations." Elsewhere, an open letter from alumni of Spelman College
refers to police as an "institution born of slave patrols." This is echoed by a recent New
York Times editorial asserting that "the origin of law enforcement in this country ... is a history
rooted in slave patrols and militias designed to protect white people's lives and livelihoods from
rebellion among enslaved Black people." Even pro-law enforcement organizations such as the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund have bought into this claim.
Liberating
Ourselves from Dystopia. Evil liars are evil liars; they do not lie about health
emergencies, open borders, election integrity, and the need for war while embracing honesty when it
comes to "global warming," "white supremacy," or "transgenderism." There is no spectrum where this
subject is held reverently off-limits from government manipulation, while this other subject is
deemed not worthy of providing the public with accurate information. Once you accept that the
government is in the business of lies, you must scrutinize anything that it says and act
accordingly. Of course, politicians and bureaucrats aren't all stupid. They know that a
growing share of Americans do not trust anything they have to say. That's why they funnel so
much tax money directly into the pockets of "non-governmental" think-tanks, media organs,
fact-checkers, universities, environmental groups, and distinguished institutes filled with
so-called "policy wonks."
J6 lies are
part of a much bigger pattern. It's not merely that the "mythmaking" of J6 has been used as an
excuse to smear half the country as "domestic terrorists," weaponize the Justice Department against
irate parents at school board meetings, sic the FBI on pro-lifers praying at abortion clinics and
create a new bogeyman — "white Christian nationalism" — as the greatest
threat facing the republic. It's that the J6 manipulation is just one of many
instances of Democrats flat-out lying to the American people for political gain.
The Fetterman Guarantee.
In an absolutely shocking piece of "journalism," the New York Times profiles how the office
of John Fetterman is operating while the senator recovers from severe depression and a stroke at
Walter Reed Hospital. There is so much in this report that is wrong, troubling, or outright
horrifying that it cannot be covered in a single blog post or column. Here's one: "It is not
unusual for lawmakers to be told by members of their staff, sometimes after the fact, what bills
they are co-sponsoring." This is simply not true. But the line that really jumped out
at me was this: ["]When Mr. Fetterman checked himself into the hospital on Feb.
15, the lead doctor told him that his case was treatable and guaranteed he would get back to his
old self. Post-stroke depression, doctors said, affects one in three people and can be very
serious, but is also highly treatable.["] What? Tell us the name of the
doctor. What kind of doctor would issue a guarantee that his patient, after admission
into the mental hospital, will "get back to his old self"?
A
Grand Canyon of Difference. My fight against lies and misinformation began at a young
age. I remember being in the first grade and being asked at Christmas to collect money for a
United Nations agency called UNICEF — ostensibly, the organization existed to supply
food for children in underdeveloped nations. My dad then showed me an article reporting that
Cuba was trading our donated grains to a third-party to buy military vehicles — a
manufactured food shortage — and I immediately understood that I was initially sold a
lie. I began distrusting the government and the UN, although I did not yet understand the
imperative role that propaganda played in order to elicit loyalty to a central government as its
agents starved their own people. I did not understand how some could behave so inhumanely.
Sadly, I learned to distrust much of what my friends and their parents believed — which
was how I came to understand groupthink. I turned in my donation box to my teacher and told
her why. I can't exactly remember how she took it; but not well. My dad however was
pleased, and bought me a subscription to Human Events, a well-known weekly conservative newspaper.
A Handy
January 6 Fact Sheet. In another example of Washington's inexorable slide into banana republic
territory, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the floor of the U.S. Senate on
Tuesday to call for the removal of an American journalist. "I don't think I've ever seen an
anchor treat the American people, and American democracy, with such disdain," Schumer said during
his seven-minute authoritarian tirade. "And he's going to come back tonight with another
segment. Fox News should tell him not to. Fox News, Rupert Murdoch — tell
Mr. Carlson not to run a second segment of lies. You know it's a lie." Schumer
later reiterated his demand to a group of journalists who, rather than denounce one of the most
powerful government officials in the country attempting to silence an influential member of the
media, dutifully reported Schumer's bleating without question.
Former
J6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson Claims He Didn't Have Access to January 6
Footage. Former January 6 Chairman Bennie Thompson claimed he never had access
to January 6 footage after Fox News host Tucker Carlson released never-before-seen
footage. Bennie Thompson told CNN that he is not aware of any January 6 Committee
members having access to the J6 footage. "I'm actually not aware of any member of the
committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video,"
Bennie Thompson told CNN.
Lies,
and Democrats. Why not release all the footage to the public — footage of
a public building, with public cameras, funded by the public, and video of the public during an
event in broad daylight? Why did the nation's socialist media, the Democrats, and the useless
RINOs of the Republican Party insist on keeping all of this material from the people? Because
it would be hard to push their revolving narrative game on Jan. 6, 2021 if the people could
fully see what happened — ugly as it was. It was far easier to make all kinds of
hyperbolic claims when they controlled what everyone could see. With it all released, they
would have to fall back on "don't believe your lying eyes." The socialists can screech all
they want about the release of the footage as a "threat to democracy" or whatever. And that
Jan. 6, 2021 was the biggest battle near Washington since Bull Run, but everyone can see for
himself that there was some bull involved, but not what they meant. They can complain all
they want about an "armed" insurrection, coup, attack, or whatever descriptor comes up on the
spinning word wheel for the week. But when it's boring footage of people just walking around,
the lies start falling apart, and their new version of the Reichstag fire blows up in their smug faces.
The Editor says...
If the Democrats were lying about what happened on January 6, 2021, and incessantly drew attention to
January 6 for two years, one can reasonably infer that they are also lying about, and diverting your
attention from, the underlying cause of the January 6 demonstration, which was the stolen
2020 presidential election.
We
are being lied to and manipulated by our own governments. In the latest news, they now want you
to believe that a pro-Ukrainian group sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines, although Seymour Hersh has clearly
demonstrated that it was all orchestrated by the US in his last month report. Yes, this is all a
coordinated media hoax campaign. The one question remaining is why now? What are they trying to
suddenly cover up? What do they want to hide? [...] Now let's make a little game and let's assume that
Ukraine is behind the attacks on Nord Stream. What do you think will happen then?
• Will this affect our arms supply debate?
• Will anyone address that attacking civilian infrastructure in other countries
is a war crime? After all, Ukraine never misses an opportunity to brand Russian attacks on its
critical infrastructure as war crimes.
• Will someone argue that now Ukraine generally does not deserve our help?
OF COURSE NOT! Let's further
assume that this was "not the Ukraine government" but some Ukrainian oligarch, as 'The Times' reports.
• Would we let Ukraine get away with it?
• What if the oligarch is affiliated with a party?
• Are we going to be peddled into another "just a few confused loners" conspiracy?
The
Democrats are Down to Begging Their Enemies to Keep Their False Jan 6 Narrative Alive.
The Democrats have assumed quite a few different kinds of attitudes over the course of the last year
and all surrounding one topic; the events of January 6. First, they were horrified and
scared of being harmed, then they were righteously furious, then they were stoically pursuing justice.
Their noble quest to bring the guilty to justice over an attempted "insurrection" was one of epic
proportions and they would stop at nothing to right the wrongs and protect the country from the
murderous and treasonous machinations of Trump and those who consider themselves MAGA fanatics.
The Death
of Expertise. The "experts" told us that Obamacare wouldn't raise health care costs,
that a random YouTube video caused the 9/11 Benghazi attack, that Hillary's unsecured private email
server containing classified material was no big deal, that Donald Trump was a Russian spy, that
the Steele dossier was something more than Clinton campaign propaganda, that a Trump presidency
would bring economic depression and global war, that the Biden family had no financial interests in
Ukraine or China, that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, that mail-in ballot dumps
without signature matching or other verifiable security checks were perfectly normal, and that the
2016 election was rigged — but that calling the 2020 election "rigged" is an attack on
democracy. The "experts" were wrong, but they held the most fashionable opinions.
Russian
Sanctions Have Proved as Useless as COVID Vaccines. In teasing an imminent
re-election announcement from President Braindead, pretend medical doctor Jill Biden recently
bragged that her husband had "brought us out of the chaos." Brought us out of the
chaos? Both inflation and illegal immigration are out of control, Americans' financial
security is in tatters, forced "vaccinations" did nothing to curb COVID, and we're closer to WWIII
than ever before. If this is Slow Joe's idea of "smooth sailing," then nuclear Armageddon is
nothing but "a bit of a rough patch." Just what do Jill and her Marxist mavens smoke that so
twists their noggins into thinking that the nation is in better shape since they took
control of D.C. behind barbed-wire fences, sandbag barricades, and military troops?
Dems
Silencing Truth About 'Brain Dead' Fetterman Until August To Avoid Special Election.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is much worse than he, wife and staff are telling the public.
It is only through leaks to the media that the public is learning the truth and that is only after
events prove the lies. According to reports, Fetterman, the 6 foot 8, heavily tattooed
Democrat, is essentially "brain dead" and unable to take care of himself, much less perform the job
he was elected to do. Democrats are determined to silence the truth about Fetterman's
condition until after August 28 in order to avoid a special election which they understand
they would almost certainly lose. [Tweet]
Power
grid attacks up 71% and Biden acolytes tell us it's all those white supremacists.
[Scroll down] Ah. The old white supremacists, same as the Biden administration
argues, elevating these marginal losers and lowlifes to the highest threat in the land. Most
of these dirtbags they catch are Trump-haters, but the strategy is all about Getting Trump, whom
they view as the grand-daddy of white supremacism. After all, the Bidenites have been
obsessed with white supremacists, most recently targeting Catholic Latin Mass-lovers as "white
supremacists" premised on Biden's executive order to hunt them down wherever they may be as the
nation's biggest threat. Now their allies are saying the attacks on the power grid are the
work of white supremacists. No doubt they will go hunting for them in those parts, and yes,
they have turned up a few such losers. But what's missing here is that America has
enemies. And some of the most terrifyingly effective power grid attacks, such as the one that
hit the Metcalf Station, near San Jose, in 2013, bore all the earmarks of an actual foreign enemy attack.
Habitual
liars: Democrats and the media blame Trump for Ohio train carnage. A disastrous chemical spill occurs in
East Palestine, Ohio, and Biden and Mayor Pete don't say a word or visit for weeks. Shouldn't the media stop
pretending that Biden is empathetic? (Had the event involved a firearm, you know they would have been on site in
less than 24 hours to exploit the tragedy as a means to a political end.) After three weeks, President Trump
shows up and the media goes into protection mode, blaming him for the carnage, asserting his "deregulations" were
to blame[,] even though his rule-cutting had nothing to do with the cause of the wreck. Yet, even if Trump's
policies were to blame, wouldn't that be all the more reason for Biden and Mayor Pete to go? I mean, they sure
love to blame Trump for everything. If Trump actually undid crucial safety regulations, shouldn't Biden and Mayor
Pete have reinstated the measures? [A recent] article in Politico shows the deplorable priorities of a
significant majority of journalists. They clearly care more about covering up for Biden's incompetence and
inaction than they do about the people suffering from the chemical spill.
Biden's
Wonderful World of 'Equity'. Immediately after his inauguration on January 20, 2021 Joe Biden, signed
an executive order placed in front of him directing the federal government to "...pursue a comprehensive approach to
advancing equity for all." On February 16, 2023, he signed a follow-up executive order mandating that all
federal agencies create teams and annual plans to insure equity within all government agencies and to utilize government
programs to compel equity within the private sector. The use of the word "equity" is a deliberate attempt to
hoodwink the American public, who are fully are on board with a similar-sounding word "equality." Equity, unlike
equality, isn't equal access to opportunity or equal protection before the law. Equity, per the American Marxists,
is the redistribution of societal status, legal protection, and economic goods (i.e., jobs and material possessions) in
accordance with their politized assessment of disadvantages and demographics. Equity, in the Marxist context,
requires a clearly defined villainous group, and not coincidentally a political adversary, in order to manipulate the
masses into believing that they have the best interests of the people at heart. But first the population has to be
segmented or tribalized and then indoctrinated into believing they as distinct groups have been and continue to be
victimized and, thus, deserving of equal outcomes as merit or ability is immaterial.
During
January 6 Hearing, Schiff Doctored Text Messages Between Mark Meadows And Rep. Jim Jordan. After
leaking fake Donald Trump, Jr. emails, fabricating the transcript of a 2019 phone call between former President Donald
Trump and Ukraine's president, and lying about his interactions with the so-called whistleblower behind House Democrats'
first impeachment of Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is now running the same con against a fellow
lawmaker. During a hearing Monday night on the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Adam Schiff claimed
to have proof that a member of Congress texted former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to instruct former Vice
President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Not only did Schiff misrepresent the
substance of the text message and its source, he even doctored original text messages, which were obtained and reviewed
by The Federalist in their entirety.
The
EPA Has No Credibility. Just as the CDC's COVID guidelines and the EPA's claims that the air was safe
following 9/11 both defied logic, so too does the latest EPA claim that the air and water are safe in East Palestine,
Ohio defy logic; not only logic, but experience. The streams and creeks in East Palestine are visibly
contaminated. Residents have experienced illness and seen dead fish, pets, fowl, and livestock in
the aftermath. But the EPA says everything is okay. Officials mock residents expressing hesitation about
drinking the tap water. The government has minimized the tragedy. Neither organization —
the EPA nor the CDC — has a shred of credibility. [...] The EPA's very best is a history of lies —
lies which have gotten Americans killed. And their knowledge isn't knowledge at all; it's ignorance. Why
should anyone trust the EPA?
Constant
Government Lies Spark Resistance Movements. In the digital public square of social media, I have seen a
noticeable uptick in biting memes and political cartoons calling out the U.S. government for its constant lies. In
one example, a cyber-billboard screams, "I don't know if I'm being distracted by vaccine deaths so I don't notice
inflation, or if inflation is the distraction to Ukraine money laundering, or if Ukraine is a distraction for rampant
pedophilia, or if pedos are distracting me from election fraud." Clearly, that was produced before the great
balloon scare gripped the nation. [...] What I see today is a bubbling movement of frustration and anger that is as
acidic as anything I've come across. [...] Whether it is White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claiming that
Slow Joe is the "best communicator" around; Treasury secretary Janet Yellen insisting for over a year that skyrocketing
inflation would be "transitory"; government economists redefining words to avoid admitting that we're in a recession;
Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas flat-out lying about the southern border being "secure"; or former chief
of staff Ron Klain preposterously labeling the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, in which thirteen U.S. servicemembers
lost their lives for no reason, a "tremendous humanitarian achievement," the people occupying the highest positions of
power and authority in the U.S. government do not bat an eye while telling the American people the most outrageous
falsehoods drenched in risibly nauseating sanctimony.
ChatGPT
and automated propaganda. Now that language AI is able to join online political debates and thereby
influence the actions of governments, limiting government powers has never been more important. The chatbot
ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI in November, showcases that AI is now on par with activists when it comes to flooding the
media with biased, nonfactual articles and posts that make the government waste money and violate our liberties. [...]
ChatGPT heralds a new era. [...] Nonetheless, critical voices highlighted its lack of factual accuracy. The
programming platform Stack Overflow even banned the software on the grounds that it produced answers to programming
questions that sounded convincing, but turned out to be false.
Truth in Government.
Whether it is the mainstream media, the social media giants, academia, Hollywood, or corporate America, these
institutions lie about everything. They lie that climate change is a mortal threat to civilization. It's
not. In fact, there has been zero warming for the last eight years. Has the media reported that? They
lie that gun violence is out of control. It is not. Americans are safer from guns 2023 more so than at any
time in our history. Your chances of being killed by a gun is lower by orders of magnitude less than your chances
of getting hit by lightning. They lie about abortion involving women's health when it is really the murder of
children in the womb. They lie that the nation has secure borders as millions illegally enter our country
including terrorists and drug runners. They lie that the rich pay no taxes despite the U.S. having the most
regressive tax regime in the world where our richest citizens pay a disproportionate percentage of the nation's
taxes. They even lie about basic biology, exploiting the sad plight of victims of gender dysphoria. In
recent years there has been a 4000% increase in young females claiming to be the opposite sex. Is no one in
our vaunted institutions — academia or the media — interested in how this could be
happening? They lie about the police being murderous brutes when the truth is that overwhelmingly the police are
honest, brave, and fair public servants doing a thankless job to keep our citizenry safe from criminals. Americans
need to demand truth from all our institutions.
Biden
Falsely Claims Food Prices Are Down, Reality Is They Are Up 11.8%. President Joe Biden is again lying to
the American people, claiming the country is in better shape than he wants you to believe. On Tuesday, Biden
falsely claimed that inflation, including food prices, is on the mend. However, the inflation report revealed that
prices increased during January. "Today's report on inflation shows the good is that inflation in America is
continuing to come down," Biden claimed. "Food prices at the grocery store are coming down." However, the price of
grocery store items rose 0.5 percent since the beginning of the year. Over the past 12 months, food
prices went up 10.1 percent. Many everyday grocery store items are causing pain at the register for American
families as they continue to have to put food on the table. Eggs are up 70.1 percent compared to the year
before, while dairy is up 14 percent. Poultry is up 0.7 percent, and frozen fruits and vegetables are up
0.6 percent from December.
Joe
Biden Falsely Claims Food Prices Are 'Continuing to Come Down'. President Joe Biden falsely claimed food
prices are coming down after Tuesday's inflation report revealed prices at the grocery store actually increased in
January. Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely
claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down. [...] Over the past 12 months, grocery prices have
gone up 10.1 percent, the numbers reflecting the month of January show.
The
Democratic litany of Hunter Biden's laptop lies. So many lies were told at the House Oversight's first
committee hearing Wednesday into the corruption scandal involving Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop and the subsequent
cover up by the FBI with social-media firms to rig the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden. Or, as Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tried to rebrand it: "Hunter Biden's half-fake laptop." It's a sign of
desperation that more than two years after The Post published the first bombshell story from the laptop, Dems can't get
their stories straight on what the laptop really is. Is it Hunter's property, his "personal data" that was stolen
from him, as his lawyers claimed last week in letters demanding the Department of Justice investigate John Paul Mac
Isaac, the owner of the Delaware computer repair shop where Hunter abandoned his laptop while a crack addict in April
2019? Or is it the "so-called laptop," as Hunter's lawyers claimed in a backflip clarification the next day?
After
His State Takes Away Gas Stoves, Sen. Schumer Falsely Claims "Nobody is Taking Away Your Gas Stove".
Political discourse is skipping right past the "make a good argument" stage to the "lying right to your face" stage.
[...] Schumer also tweeted that Republicans were, "cooking up a silly, shameless, and desperate narrative that Democrats
are coming for your gas stove." Fact Check: Infinity pinnochios. The governor of his own state has proposed a
gas stove ban. [...] Yes, they want to ban your stove, your car, your home and your life. It's what they do.
And they lie about it non-stop until they're ready to do it.
50
ways for experts to lose their expertise. It turns out that everyone was lying, including those 50 experts
who called the laptop Russian misinformation. Can't wait to see one of the 50 explain it to Representative Jim
Jordan now that Hunter Biden admitted the laptop is his. Wouldn't you love to see the Trump-Biden second debate
now that we know that it was his laptop? As you may remember, President Trump kept bringing up Hunter and Biden the
experts. In other words, the whole Russia-Trump story, from collusion to the laptop to Hamilton 68, was fake.
[A]
Left-wing think tank [is] responsible for thousands of fake Russia stories: new Twitter Files. A left-wing
think tank erroneously claiming to track Russian online activity was responsible for thousands of bogus stories
asserting the nation's influence in US politics, according to the latest batch of Twitter Files. The Hamilton 68
"dashboard" was the brainchild of former FBI special agent and MSNBC contributor Clint Watts and operated under the
Alliance for Securing Democracy, a think tank founded in 2017 — shortly after former President Trump took
office. The ASD Advisory Council included such figures as top Clinton ally John Podesta, Obama-era acting CIA
Director Michael Morell, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, and former conservative activist Bill
Kristol. The latest Twitter Files disclosure, the 15th so far, revealed how Hamilton 68's Russian bot
dashboard repeatedly insisted there was widespread and deep Russian penetration of social media and unveiled that
Twitter executives frequently challenged those claims internally.
The Manic Methods of
Mad Democrats. In 2016, Hillary Clinton led the charge that Trump was "illegitimate" and had stolen the
election. She never recanted and was soon joined by scores of Democratic officials, including perennial
election-denier former President Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden. Her surrogates like Jill Stein sued to invalidate the
election on the premise that computers were rigged, while has-been Hollywood actors peddled videos begging the electors
to renounce their state popular vote tallies. As a rule, leftists who most ardently denied the 2016
election — current House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is the most notorious
example — were the most vigorous in attacking conservatives for "denying" the 2020 election. Stacey
Abrams, who lost the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election by more than 50,000 votes but who described herself as the
"real" governor, created a lucrative career barnstorming the country and lecturing Democratic audiences about how "voter
suppression" had "robbed" her of the governorship. Since 2000, as a general truism, the only presidential
elections Democrats did not deny were those they won.
Jean-Pierre
Makes It Clear She'll Blame Republicans For Economic Downturn Even Though Biden Is President. When Trump
was President, the Democrats credited *Obama* for economic success and blamed *Trump* for any economic turbulence.
Now that Biden is "President", his White House is doing something very similar. During a press briefing on
Wednesday, Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear that she is going to blame *Republicans* for any future economic downturns,
such as high gas prices and tumbling 401k's, even though Joe Biden is the one in the White House. Yes,
really. "They're [Republicans] threatening to kill millions of jobs and 401k plans by trying to hold the debt
limit hostage," Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday.
Isn't
it Time For Adam Schiff to be Expelled From Congress? With each new release of the "Twitter Files" we
learn more and more about the deep corruption in Washington. We sensed during Covid that something was really
wrong — for example the bizarre denial of natural immunity. But thanks to Elon Musk's decision to open
the books, our worst fears have been proven true. Each new release seems to show something even more criminal
inside America's rotten ruling class. In the latest release, thanks to the excellent reporting of independent
journalist Matt Taibbi, we see outgoing Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA),
continuously pressuring Twitter to validate his fantasies of "Russian bots" manipulating US politics. The short
version of what Taibbi reported comes from around the time then-Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was about to release his Committee's findings about the FBI misuse of the FISA Court to spy
on the Trump presidential campaign. The FBI, it turns out, relied exclusively on the widely-discredited "Steele
Dossier" — paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign — as justification to spy on the Trump campaign.
Will
Any of You Leftists Wake Up? Leftists lie. They lie relentlessly. They lie constantly.
Their lies populate the minds and mouths of pundits and "news" reporters occupying the newsrooms of MSNBC, ABC, NBC,
CBS, CNN, and even Fox News. Their lies fill the columns of practically every newspaper in America. Their
lies are spouted by educators in practically every classroom and form the plots of countless movies, TV shows and
documentaries. Our nation is drowning in their lies. Words cannot adequately describe you, leftists.
You are dishonest to the core, self-motivated to the core, and possessed of an incomprehensible, towering arrogance that
takes one's breath away. But even some of you must realize your house of cards is falling. The policies
being pursued by Democrats at every level of government are visiting wholesale destruction on our economy, our culture
and our future.
Why
Deception Is Essential to the Left. News item: Stanford University withdraws its "Harmful Language" list
after it received widespread publicity — and universal ridicule. But other universities are quietly
imposing similar "language guidance" albeit without high-profile master lists that would expose them to the withering
laughter and contempt they deserve. News item: The Biden Administration rushes to reassure Americans that there is
"no plan" to ban natural gas stoves. This is a lie, of course. Lots of progressive cities —
and even New York state — are moving to impose bans on all natural gas appliances. There is no doubt
that the climatistas are determined to take away your gas stoves. What do these two stories have in common?
In both cases the left was too open and explicit about what they wanted, drawing unwanted and premature attention.
Hunter
Biden laptop-denier now admits emails are real. Don't let him get away with it. Douglas Wise, a
former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director and former senior CIA operations officer, is back in the news this
week. In an interview with The Australian, Wise admits that he and others always knew that the emails on the
Hunter Biden laptop were likely genuine. It was a remarkable admission from one of more than 50 former
intelligence officials who signed a letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 presidential
election as likely "Russian disinformation." Yet, Wise still maintains that, while true, he and the other
officials were right to call it out as likely "disinformation." Arguing that something is true, but still
constitutes disinformation sounds a lot like ... well ... disinformation.
The Manic Methods
of Mad Democrats. Before any presidential or midterm election, strict news suppression ensures that all
bad news will follow, not precede, the voting. The Twitter files, Project Veritas ambush interviews, the Podesta
emails, and occasional left-wing braggadocio like Molly Ball's now infamous post-2020 election revelations in
Time magazine, confirm the fusion between the media and the Democratic Party. To the degree there is any
independent journalistic inquiry about Biden — such as we are only now seeing with Biden's security
violations — it is likely only because the party wants the 80-year-old enfeebled Biden out of office.
The Democratic-media-deep-state nexus quashed all 2020 pre-election revelations about the embarrassing Hunter Biden
laptop. Its contents more or less proved that the Biden family was corrupt. Twitter and Facebook
confessionals show how, in lapdog fashion, social media forbade coverage of the truth about the laptop. More than
50 former intelligence officers, organized by the confessed liars John Brennan and James Clapper — both of
whom have admitted to deceiving Congress while under oath — used their former titles to fortify the
pre-election lie that Hunter's laptop was likely Russian disinformation. A poll conducted after the election
revealed that those voters who knew of the story might have changed their vote had they known the truth. Neither
Clapper nor Brennan nor any of their subordinates has ever apologized.
You
Must Assume That All Information Put Out By Our Government Is Corrupt. Throughout the agencies of our
federal government, an important function is to issue data and information about the state of the country. These
data cover a vast array of topics such as population, demographics, income and poverty, the state of the economy, the
GDP, employment and unemployment, activities of foreign adversaries, weather and climate, energy production and use, and
much, much more. The Congress and states use this information in making important public policy decisions, and the
people use it to make decisions for their everyday lives. Not the least of those decisions is how to vote.
So is the information issued by the government basically honest and reliable for important decisions? Or, instead,
is the output of official information cynically manipulated and corrupted by a government interested mainly in
perpetuating and increasing its own power? And given that the federal bureaucracy is 90+% Democrat in political
orientation, to what extent does that bureaucracy manipulate the information it issues to further the election of
Democrats? The evidence of data manipulation in favor of Democrats is so pervasive that we have to assume that
essentially all information put out by the government is corrupt.
Twitter
Files Show Company Knew Democrat Claims About 'Russian Bots' Were False. A new release of the Twitter
Files provides further evidence that the company was aware that claims of "Russian bots" on the platform, made by
Democrats and the media, were wildly exaggerated or outright fabrications. Nevertheless, Twitter continued to
indulge the Democrat and mainstream media-pushed conspiracy theory in public. As Twitter attempted to placate
Democrats on the hill with an appeasement strategy, humoring claims about Russian influence they knew were false,
Twitter officials complained that the strategy amounted to "feeding congressional trolls."
In
Liberal Media, Never Is Heard a Discouraging Word About Hakeem Jeffries, Election Denier. In the midst of
reveling in the "debacle" of Republicans failing to promote House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy to speaker, some
leftish media outlets broadcast celebratory stories on House Democrats electing Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., as
their minority leader. On Wednesday, NPR's "All Things Considered" did a story on McCarthy failing to win support
alongside a story headlined "Looking back at a decade of GOP hard-liners in Congress." But it also spent almost
three minutes touting Jeffries as the first black lawmaker nominated for speaker of the House. [...] Meanwhile, to
represent the view NPR refuses to consider, Kyle Martinsen of the Republican Party's messaging team sent around a memo
on how all 212 Democrats voted for Jeffries despite the small problem that his "record of election denialism is well
documented — and thoroughly unhinged." Among the claims:
[#1] Jeffries declared the 2016 election was "rigged" and a "hoax," and that a "cloud of illegitimacy" hangs over then-President Donald Trump.
[#2] Jeffries called to "investigate [Trump's] so-called victory." He insisted "history will never accept" Trump "as a legitimate President."
[#3] Jeffries said that "the more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes."
[#4] Jeffries claimed Russia succeeded in "artificially placing" Trump in the White House.
[#5] Jeffries referred to Trump as a "fake president" at least 73 times.
Martinsen summed up: "In total, Jeffries denied the legitimacy of the 2016 election at least 163 times."
The Katie Porter
scandal everyone is ignoring. Katie Porter, darling of the liberal media, is having a rough couple of
weeks. The California congresswoman has recently been accused of: firing an employee who allegedly gave her Covid;
using racist language, and fostering a hostile workplace. These are explosive allegations to be levied against a
high-profile Democrat, yet the general public would never have heard of any of them were it not for an anonymous
Instagram account that did the job of the entire DC press corps. "Rep. Katie Porter fires staffer after both
test positive for COVID," Dear White Staffers posted last week, sharing Signal messages purporting to be from Porter's
now-former staffer where the congresswoman berated her employee. "Well you gave me Covid," Porter's messages read.
"It took you not following the rules to get me sick." Porter's office subsequently confirmed that the staffer was
punished, but argued that she was simply banned from ever returning to in-person work and was not immediately terminated.
Nancy
Pelosi calls House Democrats 'The greatest collection of intellect, integrity, and imagination assembled.
Just when one thinks one has heard everything, one is proven wrong. Outgoing speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
recently wrote her last "Dear Colleague" letter to her Democrat co-conspirators/comrades. In this missive, she
stated, "During the 117th Congress, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have put forth a shining vision of
justice for all. Together, we have worked tirelessly to infuse this value into our legislative efforts. We
can all take immense pride in our achievements toward that goal, which is making a real difference in the lives of the
American people." Justice? For all? Tell that to all those still rotting in prison, without
conviction or charge, for strolling through the People's House on January 6, 2021. Tell that to those who
were snatched from their homes in the wee hours of the morning by armed feds when a simple summons to appear would have
sufficed. Tell that to all those whose jobs were considered unessential. Tell that to all those
in the military who were discharged because they wouldn't accept an experimental substance into their
bodies. Tell that to all those who have lost loved ones to violent crime, rates of which skyrocketed in the past
two years due to Democrat policies — or to those who have lost loved ones to fentanyl because Democrats
absolutely refuse to police our southern border. And tell it to America's rapidly dwindling middle class, beset by
historic inflation, supply chain problems, and rising taxes.
The
House Speaker Vote — Embarrassment, Indeed. [S]everal decades ago I worked for a large southern
utility in their Communications Office. I was among several selected to be a Media Liaison, the person who issued
information to the public/media in case of a catastrophic event that impacted the electrical grid, a nuclear plant,
etc. One of the top communication consultant organizations in the nation was brought in to train us in how to
communicate with the media. The training covered not just the language we used, but heavily emphasized our
appearance, our facial expressions, etc. One point emphasized heavily was that we were to never look at a
questioner to our right or left simply by shifting our eyes toward that person, but to turn our head to look directly at
the questioner. To do otherwise, we were told, "makes you look shifty." We were given several catastrophic
scenarios wherein we practiced using "positive" language in a calm, controlled manner "in order to create the sense that
everything is okay." I asked a simple question, "What if everything has gone south and things are not okay... are
we supposed to lie?" The trainer (actually, the head man of the famous company) practically exploded, advising me
in no uncertain terms that my job had nothing to do with the truth, but everything to do with creating the impression
that everything was under control, in order to spread a sense of calm and that public safety was assured.

2022,
Perhaps the Apex Year for an Era of Pretending. For the past two years I can only encapsulate the entire
social, political and socioeconomic dynamic that surrounds us by saying we are living in an era of great
pretending. Why? Because nothing else adequately explains it. A recession is no longer two negative
quarters of economic growth. Elections are no longer defined by votes cast, but by ballots counted.
Meanwhile, women are claimed to have penises and people will argue — strenuously and with
commitment — that men can give birth to babies. Simultaneously, vaccines are no longer about medicines
to avoid viruses, and Americans have some moral obligation to fund the administrative salaries, pensions and expense
accounts for a nation of European politicians, in a country that few taxpayers could find on a map. We must
pretend the occupant of the oval office is not a dementia patient, at the same time we must pretend the Dept of Homeland
Security and FBI is not telling online speech platforms that identifying the dementia patient, as a dementia patient,
means you are a domestic violent extremist. The absurdity of the pretenses are off-the-charts.
Government
by Gimmick Won't Last. We are right now in an interim period that might best be called a kind of
government by gimmick. Nothing our "leaders" say is bound by much truth. Three years of pandemic
lockdowns, forced experimental injections, government-sanctioned censorship, and other unconstitutional COVID-1984
measures were moronically justified as necessary because government health bureaucrats and politicians were acting at
the "speed of science." What kind of nonsense is that? When has real science ever been anything but
methodical and slow? Yet that authoritarian policy directive has justified three years of reckless tyranny across
the West, and too many minds squeezed by Marxism's weeds simply complied. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security
habitually lies about America's borders being "secure," even though illegal immigration has never been worse, and so
long as corporate media parrot government lies, reality is ridiculously distorted. Climate change, which is an
immutable planetary phenomenon, has been transformed into irrefutable proof that centralized government authority must
intervene in all economic activity — the exact policy objective, coincidentally enough, that forms the
foundations of Marxist power. When Elon Musk's recent "Twitter Files" release confirmed that the FBI has been
actively directing policies of censorship and speech punishment against the American people, the lawless law enforcement
agency accused anybody with eyes and brain sufficient to comprehend the Bureau's constitutional betrayals of being
"conspiracy theorists" pushing "misinformation." Why should federal police confess to crimes when only they, not
the people, have the power to make arrests?
Excerpts
from the Democrat-to-English dictionary: updated for 2023. Extremist: someone who disagrees with a
Democrat. Fairness: when progressive ideas and/or candidates carry the day. (Antonym, unfairness:
when conservative ideas and/or candidates carry the day.) Far-right: this term is rightfully applied to any
individuals or groups who oppose Democratic/woke policies and talking points. Fascist: someone who disagrees
with a Democrat.
From
'Free Speech' to Elon Musk. There was a time, in years past, when calling someone a hypocrite was taken as
an insult to a person's integrity, or more specifically their lack thereof. That is no longer the case.
Today's political Left, Democrats in particular, now seemingly take pride in their ability to shift positions at
will. They do so in all sincerity, with a straight face while facing no repercussions in either the media or at
the polls. As Grouch Marx once said regarding politicians: "Sincerity is the key to success. Once you
can fake that you've got it made." Democrats have perfected this into an art form.
Duplicitous
media suggests a 'Republican Biden' for a GOP win. [Scroll down] Why would journalists support
leftist politicians and their policies when statistics show the majority of people unhappy and distressed? A
recent poll conducted by USA Today revealed that "two-thirds of respondents... say the country has gotten off on the
wrong track." Well, because the journalists and the rest of the Democrats apparently live their lives in a
fantasyland: They pretend they care about Blacks by supporting "reparations" — but with other people's
money. They pretend they care about Blacks but "expand abortion care." They pretend they care about
education but prevent the poor and minorities from having the freedom of school choice. They pretend they want
women to control their own bodies yet will fire them if they don't take a vaccine still currently in clinical
trials. They pretend they support women and privacy, but they make them compete and shower with biological
men. They pretend they can control the climate, so long as the poor and middle classes hand over more money.
They pretend that they never tried to block election results.
Twitter —
and Democrats — lied, lied and lied again about censorship. "1984" author George Orwell warned
that "if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." That line has never been more relevant
than in the aftermath of the second release of Twitter documents this week. Many liberals had denied the social
media giant was engaging in censorship by using the more pleasant term "content modification." Now documents show
Twitter executives burying "disfavored" views as "visibility filtering" and "amplification" limits. Calling
executives the "head of legal, policy, and trust" (Vijaya Gadde) and the "global head of trust & safety" (Yoel Roth)
doesn't alter their status as some of the greatest censors in history. Yet the license for this massive system
clearly came from Twitter's very top.
100
Times Election Denier Hakeem Jeffries Declared Election Results Were Fake, Artificial, Illegitimate.
Election denier Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) attacked democracy at least 100 times by questioning the integrity
of American elections, according to Republican National Committee's research exclusively obtained by Breitbart
News. Jeffries, minority leader of House Democrats, has cast doubt on the integrity of American elections by way
of seven different categories: legitimacy, cheating, rigged, fake, artificial, hoax, and 'so-called." The
seven ways in which Jeffries attacked democracy were spewed into the public domain for years via Twitter, TV, and
political speeches. The tabulation goes back as far as 2017 after former President Donald Trump defeated two-time
failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
MSM:
Democrats Can't Be Election Deniers. There's always a double standard for the radical left. There's
always a reason why it's "different" when Democrats say something racist, break the law, or question the results of an
election. Case in point: Time magazine published an article claiming that Republicans who dub House
Minority leader-elect Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) an "election denier" are wrong in doing so. There's
no doubt that Jeffries is an election denier. We have the receipts. He is actually one of many Democrats who
have called Donald Trump an illegitimate president. According to Time, the term "election denier" has
become associated with Republicans who say the 2020 election was stolen because they "assert without evidence there was
fraud in 2020 voting." But the author says that calling Jeffries an "election denier" is misleading and "conflates
different issues." The real issue, which goes unsaid in the article, is that Jeffries and others in his party who
have routinely denied the results of presidential elections won by Republicans are Democrats. Since 2000, every
single presidential election won by a Republican has been called "illegitimate" by Democrats.
WSJ:
Musk's Twitter files shows real "disinformation" threat is America's former intel leaders. Point of order:
Didn't we learn that in 2013 when James Clapper perjured himself before Congress? And didn't we learn that the American
media enthusiastically facilitated that disinformation potential by hiring Clapper and former FBI executive Andrew McCabe after
getting fired for lying to investigators? Among dozens of others? We did indeed, but the editors of the Wall Street
Journal want to underscore that point in the release of Twitter's files on the Hunter Biden laptop story. They also note
the media's complicity in promoting this "disinformation," even in the face of independent corroboration.
Janet
Yellen Says the Real Reason Inflation is Out of Control is Because Americans Are 'Splurging' on Goods.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday evening blamed Americans for record-high inflation. It isn't Joe
Biden's fault for spending trillions of dollars in the last year-and-a-half. It isn't the Democrats' fault for
passing trillions in spending through the reconciliation (no GOP votes needed). The real reason for inflation is
because Americans 'splurging' on goods. "They were in their homes for a year or more, they wanted to buy grills
and office furniture, they were working from home, they suddenly started splurging on goods, buying technology," Yellen
said on Stephen Colbert's late night show.
Now the Truth Can
Be Told. In focusing on America's rising rates of violent crime leading up to the midterm elections,
Republicans were routinely accused of playing a dirty trick on voters. "We don't really have a common definition of
what crime means," crime-statistics analyst Jeff Asher asserted in an October interview with NPR. Apparently, the
range of activities that constituted a violation of statute made it difficult to discern what voters meant when they
said "crime." And when "crime" wasn't a nebulous concept that eluded the unsophisticated, it was cast as a problem
presided over by Republicans.
Language warning! Four nefariously managed events meant to harm us.
[#2] Government's war on its own citizens. I'd date this for the sake of simplicity to the DOJ's and FBI's
campaign to defenestrate Donald Trump starting in 2016 for the crime of winning an election. What began as the
Russia collusion prank morphed into RussiaGate, another [self-protection] extravaganza in which public officialdom gave
itself blanket permission to lie about everything it was doing. The likes of James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Barack
Obama's girl squad in the White House — to name just a few of many participants — also managed to
hook in the mainstream news media under the supposition that they were the good guys fighting a disgusting, [...]
supervillain, which disposed the news media to go along with all the FBI and DOJ lies, and also stranded the media in an
endless loop of [self-protection] they are still locked into. Bottom line: all involved came to recognize
that there was no accountability for their wicked deeds and lying about them, and that became an all-purpose license for
everyone in public life to lie about everything and anything ever after — including Dr. Fauci and his
colleagues, who watched RussiaGate roll out for four years before the debut of Covid-19. This license to act
wrongfully and lie about it extends, by the way, to the epic election mischief carried out programmatically by the
Democratic Party's Lawfare arm in 2020 and 2022, and the installation of a fake president.
How
Young Americans Unwittingly Voted to Ruin Their Lives. This week, The New York Times published a column by
a left-wing academic (forgive the redundancy), John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School
Institute of Politics. In his first sentence, Della Volpe reveals his politics. He described young Americans
as "stressed and sickened by thoughts of their rights and democracy slipping away." That is what Harvard and just
about every other university tells America's young people: "Because of the Right, you should be stressed and
sickened. The Right is taking away your rights and destroying your democracy." The terrible irony is that
there is indeed a mortal threat to Americans' rights and democracy — but it is entirely from the Left.
Ever since Stalin declared Trotsky a "fascist," the Left has labeled its opponents precisely what the Left itself
is. And it almost always works.
Are
You Freer than You Were Two Years Ago? Twenty twenty-two was an election in which authoritarians employed
every sort of disinformation. They ran on "character" while engaging in corruption on a multi-trillion-dollar
scale. They rolled out the old "take your Social Security away from you" fear-mongering for seniors. And,
this year in particular, they stoked fear of losing access to abortion when in fact the Supreme Court's reversal of
Roe v. Wade returns decisions on abortion to states. More bizarre yet, Democrats attacked
conservatives as "a threat to democracy," but the code word "democracy" in the progressive lexicon actually means "more
government control" and less freedom. Donald Trump is not a threat to democracy; he is a threat to those who
continually undermine our democracy by limiting what we can say, read, listen to, discuss at work, hear at church, and
learn in school. Joe Biden used "threat to democracy" many times in the 2022 campaign, and in every case, it was
not a threat to democracy he had in mind; it was a threat to his party's power and with it the enslavement of the
American people by Big Government.
They
lie to you without remorse. With Anthony Fauci's departure from the government imminent, there has been a
lot of praise for both Fauci and the public health establishment. Most of it self-congratulation, because that is
how those at the top of the public health establishment pyramid roll. But there has been plenty of eulogizing
Fauci by all factions within the Establishment as well. One of the figures who has been stepping up to the plate
to hit the softballs aimed at him by the press is Dr Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator. He
is a real piece of work, and a worthy propagandist to fill the shoes of Dr. Fauci once he leaves the scene.
Fauci gave his last COVID briefing today, at which Dr. Jha spoke as well. Both were, of course, pushing
vaccines. In this case the newer bivalent booster. In doing so Dr. Jha let rip with a real whopper, for
which there is precisely zero evidence: if a person gets the bivalent booster and contracts COVID, nobody will
die. Assuming they get Paxlovid as well (Dr. Jha is practically a salesman for Paxlovid, pushing the Pfizer
drug every chance he gets). [Tweet]
Yesterday's conspiracy theories
are today's legacy media news reports. [Thread reader] NBC Bay Area reporter @BigadShaban reported on
the Pelosi attack based on source who saw body cam footage. It was almost identical to what Miguel Almaguer said
11/4 that got him suspended. DA says Pelosi will "need to explain... why he did what he did" [...] WashPost
reports after all that "secret docs!" drama, Trump raid produced basically nothing of interest. [...] NBC reports the
January 6 committee will ignore "law enforcement failures" in final report, instead making it all about Trump.
[...] NYT reports the #2 man in the Oath Keepers, Greg McWhirter, was actually an FBI informant, talking to them
for months ahead of the Capitol attack. Oh the day he was supposed to testify in the Rhodes trial, McWhirter, 40,
had a heart attack & couldn't. [...] If you said any of this — about January 6 and the FBI, Paul Pelosi, the Trump raid,
SBF's virtue signaling — you would have been accused of being a conspiracy theorist. And now, in the post-midterms
news cycle... they are all just true. Period.
Mayorkas
Lies (Again) To Congress. Isn't That Illegal? On Monday, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported
that it had "encountered" 230,678 migrants illegally crossing into the country, the highest number ever recorded in
October and the third highest in the nation's history. On Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas assured Congress that the border is secure and that "we are working day in and day out to enhance its
security." The back-to-back events lead to a question: How many times can a Cabinet secretary blatantly lie
to Congress before he gets brought up on charges? Federal law, after all, makes it a crime to "knowingly and
willfully" give "materially" false statements to Congress, even if you're not under oath. The penalty includes
fines and up to five years in prison, or up to eight if the lie involves international or domestic terrorism.
Mayorkas is a serial offender who deserves the eight-year beef.
They
lie, and nobody cares but us. We all like to make fun of The View. [...] Nobody who follows politics even
moderately closely takes them seriously. But The View gets a lot of views, and as with late night hosts who spread
disinformation behind the mask of telling jokes, nobody can or does hold them to account for being liars. And they
aren't only stupid, they are liars and propagandists. They serve a purpose in the media ecosystem, training their
viewers to hate and be scared of anybody who opposes The Narrative™. They often know that what they are
spewing is false, and know they will not be held to account.
We
Need To Talk About What Didn't Happen On Election Day. A number of noteworthy things did not happen on
Election Day 2022. Everyone knows the red wave didn't happen. But that isn't all that didn't happen. The
chaos at the polls that was going to be caused by the presence of citizen poll watchers did not happen. Despite
being hysterically predicted (hoped for?) over the past 18 months by reporters who wrote the same story with some
version of the same headline [...] Every story breathlessly claimed that having citizen observers engaged in the
election process was a "threat to democracy," with NBC News warning in early November, "Election officials are bracing
for conspiracy-fueled threats — while still hoping for the best..." The Biden administration did its part
to sow seeds of dissension by launching in June 2021 a national hotline at the FBI for reporting "threats to election
officials and workers," creating a task force to address "threats against election workers." But nary a word from
Attorney General Merrick Garland about protecting poll watchers, even though federal law makes it a crime to injure,
intimidate, or interfere with poll watchers. Every training conducted by those of us doing such training included
instruction about behavior, and that they must be "Peaceful. Lawful. Honest." Yet, without evidence, the
closer we got to Election Day, the more hysterical the headlines became, warning of violence at the polls resulting from
too many observers watching the process.
You've Been Gaslighted —
Democrats Just Stole Another Election. It's time to admit we're all part of a massive experiment in fraud,
theft, brainwashing, and gaslighting to a degree never seen in world history. Think of all the times in just the
past few years you've been gaslighted. They lied to you about open borders; they lied about Hillary's 30,000
deleted emails; they lied about spying on Trump; they lied about Russian Collusion; they lied about a perfectly fine
Ukrainian phone call; they lied about massive Biden corruption in Ukraine and China; they lied about the Hunter Biden
laptop; they lied about the origins of Covid; they lied about the need for lockdowns and masks; they lied about the need
for Covid vaccines; they lied about the vaccines being "safe and effective"; they lied and covered up all the deaths
and injuries from the vaccine; they lied about the success of miracle drugs Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin; they lied
about the stolen 2020 election[.] You've been the victims of non-stop severe gaslighting for a decade now.
You're all part of a human psychology experiment in the limits that government and media can go in propaganda and
brainwashing, while you can see they're lying right in front of your eyes. And these are the exact same people now
telling you Democrats just over-performed, and stopped a GOP red landslide, against all odds, without cheating and
stealing the midterm election.
The Pathetic Democratic
Pantheon. Over the last few months the four icons of the Democratic Party — Joe Biden, Hillary
Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi — have hit the campaign trail. They've weighed in on everything
from "right-wing violence" and "election denialists" to the now tired "un-American" semi-fascist MAGA voter —
and had nothing much to say about inflation, the border, crime, energy, or the Afghanistan debacle. In this, they
remind us just how impoverished and calcified is this left-wing pantheon. So why should we take anything they say
seriously, given their own records — and especially given their mastery of projecting their own shortcomings
upon others as some sort of private exculpation or preemptive political strategy?
The Occam's
Razor Election. We've now had three Democratic presidents in a row — stretching back to Clinton
in 1992, then Obama in 2008, and Biden in 2020 — who all campaigned as moderates, but lurched sharply left
once in office. In other words, Democratic presidential candidates lie to us, over and over again, and then voters
issue a restraining order at the first opportunity. It's as though voters need reminding every other decade how
bad Democrats in power can be. "Swing voters," wise up.
Biden's
Delusional Comms Director Tells CNN Viewers: "What We're Seeing is Enormous Popularity for the Biden
Agenda". Joe Biden's delusional communications director told CNN viewers the Democrats are going to do
well in Tuesday's midterms because Biden is popular. CNN anchor Jim Sciutto pointed out that historically a first
midterm election for a US president is usually a wipeout. Biden's Comms Director Kate Bedingfield said while
historically the House flips in a president's first term, Biden's agenda is enormously popular. "Look, across the
board what we're seeing is enormous popularity for the Biden agenda," Kate Bedingfield said.
It isn't a "failed presidency" if all this destruction is intentional. Biden
is gaslighting Americans about his failed presidency. The Biden Administration will be known to history
for many things: an open border and its deadly consequences, the abandonment of Afghanistan, weakness that led to
catastrophe in Europe, skyrocketing inflation, and the use of federal law enforcement to target political
opponents. The catalog of infamy goes on. Above all, though, this administration may be remembered for its
duplicity — its continual, shameless "gaslighting" of the American people. Biden, his team, and his
sycophantic media supporters repeatedly tell us that "all is well" where it manifestly is not. No matter how bad
things become in the nation, no matter how many people suffer, reality has no purchase on the ideological bubble of this
White House. That is why, in these midterm elections, the American people must deliver to Joe Biden an unequivocal
message: that they refuse to be gaslit, that they are not buying what he is selling.
Democrats
Declared War on Democracy Through COVID Tyranny. Don't fall for the lies that Republicans are a threat to
democracy. Democrats are the threat to democracy. They have shown themselves willing, and wanting, to erase
our rights and liberties, violate the Constitution's protection of life and property, and ignore the enforcement of
border laws all in the name of their globalist ideology which is, by nature, antithetical to democracy. I agree
that the most important issue in this election is saving American democracy. That means improving the economy,
lowering inflation, and controlling the border. American democracy is not the stagflationary, COVID totalitarian,
open borders globalism dressed up as democracy being offered by Joe Biden and every Democrat running for election or
reelection this year.
Democrats
Turn 2022 Into '1984'. Politicians dissemble without shame — which, ironically, is why they
constantly invoke their own honor and allegiance to the truth. Still, Biden's latest string of
whoppers — that gas prices were sky high and the economy was in the tank when he took office, that he
convinced the Congress to pass student loan relief, that he's a deficit hawk who has secured the border, that his son,
Beau, died in Iraq — are so obviously false that it's hard to believe even a politician in his right mind
would make such claims. That he is the president of the United States, leader of the free world, makes this
behavior especially troubling. And yet, those relatively small deceptions, so easily fact-checked and debunked,
are the least of our problems because they do not simply reveal the partisan instincts of one softening mind. They
also reflect the freedom Democrats and their leftist allies now feel to redefine reality itself by advancing their own
array of Big Lies which are dividing and inflaming our country.
Could
[Democrat] Politics Be Even More Childish? In contrast to the left's campaign of disinformation, we
present some facts:
• Fascists don't cut taxes, deregulate, and shrink government. Republicans, even
"MAGA Republicans," run on those issues, and are devoted to the principles, even if too often the policy agenda
fails (because of Democratic and media opposition).
• Fascists are socialists, and it's the Democrats who are wed to socialist policies.
They constantly agitate for higher taxes, more government control of the means of production, ever-deeper government
intrusion into private affairs, and incontestable political power. They don't want voters to know that fascism's
father Benito Mussolini said that "socialism is in my blood," or that the Nazis were national socialists.
• Politicians and media figures hungry for raw power will call those who question an election that
they won "deniers" while themselves denying that they did exactly that in previous elections.
• A party that wishes to destroy America would, as Walter Russel Mead wrote a month after Donald
Trump took office, limit fracking as much as possible, block oil and gas pipelines, and try to tamp down tensions with
Russia's ally Iran. The GOP has done none of that. The Democrats are guilty of all three.
• A party that would abolish democracy would crush dissenting voices and opinions, and constantly
smear its opponents — which is what the Democrats have done. (And yet again we have to reiterate that
the U.S. is not a democracy. That is an infantile construction used to deceive. We are a republic.)
The
Democrats' 'election denier' sophistry. [Scroll down] The editor at the Erie Times starts out
promisingly when he begins by admitting that "The term election denier is a loaded one, but the definition isn't always
clear." That is correct. Will the Erie Times will provide a neutral (fair) definition of "election
denialism"? On the contrary, the editor explains that "it's important to define it for the purposes of this USA
TODAY package detailing candidates ... we've labeled 'election deniers.'" That is, the editor narrows down the
range of "election deniers" to "this year". Miraculously, therefore, the expression does not apply to Al Gore in
2000, Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Stacy Abrams in 2018!" None of them, by definition, have committed the
unforgivable sin of "election denialism". [...] In addition, an "election denier" is, by definition, a Trump
supporter in 2020! How convenient! The Democrats win automatically. No questions, no investigations, no
discussions and, most of all, no free speech permitted in this case. Just check the dictionary! Case closed!
The 'Big
Lie'? A Democrat forte. Democrat Stacey Abrams still purports to believe she won the 2018 Georgia
gubernatorial race. Abrams, who lost by more than 50,000 votes, once told Axios that she doesn't want the American
people to be in a place "where we cannot legitimately question" and criticize voting systems in order to improve
them. Try to "legitimately question" the 2020 presidential election, and you will be kicked off social media,
labeled a "denier," otherwise ostracized, canceled, and labeled in need of psychiatric attention. Democrats were
sure that the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were stolen from them by way of Republican shenanigans.
And they spent years telling us all that Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton with the aid of those damn
Russians. Corruption was rampant, election integrity nonexistent. There was no other way Trump could
have beaten Hillary, you see. Yet, they boldly assert that the 2020 presidential election was accurate [...]
Democrats
Show Desperation In The Home Stretch. Polls are trending in the direction of Republicans after horrible
debate performances from Democratic candidates such as U.S. Senate hopeful John Fetterman in Pennsylvania.
Democrats lied about Joe Biden's mental condition, so it is not a surprise that they would lie about Fetterman's ability
to manage a U.S. Senator's job responsibilities. Thus, Democrats maintained that Fetterman was recovering nicely
from his stroke and could be an effective Senator. This falsehood was exposed during the Oz-Fetterman debate as
Fetterman was unable to articulate clearly or grasp the concepts being discussed. Americans learned they were
being scammed about his condition. Of course, Fetterman needs rest, medical care, and intensive treatment for his
illness. In his condition, he should not be serving in a high-stress position representing millions of
Pennsylvania voters in the U.S. Senate.
We
really need to talk about Democrats' efforts to pre-delegitimize our elections. Democrats have been doing
this for decades, declaring certain elected Republicans frauds and imposters. It's not that they truly believe the
2000, 2004, and 2016 presidential races, the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race, etc., were rigged. Rather, they
understand that casting doubt on election outcomes weakens the Republican position, putting duly elected officials in a
state of constant defense. Democrats are taking this astonishingly cynical strategy one step further.
They're questioning the legitimacy of GOP victories even before the votes have even been cast. "Right-wing extremists
already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election. And they're not making a secret of it,"
two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said this month. "The right-wing-controlled Supreme Court may
be poised to rule on giving state legislatures the power to overturn presidential elections."
Talk
we must about Fetterman's burning yard sign. As we will be reminded by the mainstream media on an hourly
basis (if not more often) every day until the election, dangerous hate crimes, often in the form of "speech," are being
perpetrated by the "MAGA Republicans" constantly. [...] Let's just call this what it was. It was a staged
event. It was a hoax designed to try to profit off of the liberal wave of accusations about violent attacks by
"MAGA extremists." But it wasn't even a good hoax. Take a close look at the picture. Most of us are familiar
with campaign yard signs. Having worked on multiple campaigns, I've not only had them in my yard but I've
distributed them and picked them up after election day. They tend to be composed of cheap wire frames with
mass-produced plastic (and generally fire-resistant) banners promoting the candidate. The one pictured here
appears to be a sizable wooden structure placed out in a field near a road. Note that the wooden frame is ablaze,
as well as the sign. And the sign is burning in a conveniently neat fashion from left to right, with the majority
of the candidate's logo still visible in the firelight. Wouldn't a true arsonist have doused the entire sign with
some sort of accelerant before tossing a match and speeding off into the night?
What
Are the Odds? Burned Fetterman Sign Was on Farm of DNC Speaker. Saturday morning Senate candidate
John Fetterman tweeted a photo of one of his campaign signs that had been set ablaze, characterizing it as "violence and
intimidation in politics" and that his campaign "is about bringing people together and rejecting hate + extremism."
[Tweet] Of course, Fetterman followed that up with a plea for money. [Tweet] The woman who took the photo,
Jane Switzer, is a self-described Fetterman donor who lives next door to the farm where this took place. [...] A few
things were immediately curious. How does one happen to snap a close-up photo of the sign mid-burn, in which it's
burned almost exactly to the point where the burning stopped (as evidenced in the next day's photo), at 1:30 a.m.,
and how was the sign not completely engulfed by the time two firetrucks arrived to a rural area? How is it that
only a few blades of grass were singed? How is it that the fire department put the fire out at the same time in
the burn that Switzer's photo was snapped — and if they were busy putting the fire out, how was Switzer ALSO
there? If the verbiage with Switzer's post didn't give it away, she's a Fetterman supporter and a hyper-partisan.
I've got questions
about this one too:. Who took the photo? How long does it take to burn down a sign that size?
Did the person who took the photo see who did it? The culprit couldn't have gotten far, right? Did the
Fetterman campaign go to the police about this act of violence and intimidation? If not, why not? Does
anybody in the whole entire world actually buy this obvious hoax?
John
Fetterman's 'Trump-Voting Republican' Parents Are Card-Carrying Democrats. It appears Democrat
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman's "Trump-voting Republican" parents are not Trump-voting Republicans,
but card-carrying Democrats. In what seems to be an attempt to paint himself as an everyman candidate who is more
Pennsylvanian than partisan, Fetterman apparently talked his parents into claiming they are Trump voters and Republicans
in one of his senate campaign ads. "We want to tell you something about John Fetterman. He was raised by two
Trump-voting Republicans right here in this house in York," Karl and Susan Fetterman claim in the 30-second video. "Us!"
[Tweets] The problem is that Fetterman's parents are not Trump supporters or Republicans. According to
voting records obtained by The Federalist, Susan and Karl Fetterman have been voting Democrat for at least six
years — beginning when the couple registered as Democrats to vote in the 2016 primaries.
Yellen
claims she sees no signs of recession despite two periods of negative growth and soaring inflation.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made the unbelievable claim on CNN that she sees absolutely no signs of a recession
despite raging inflation, two consecutive periods of negative growth, and a flailing stock market. Spewing
propaganda obviously directed by the Biden administration, Yellen had the nerve to tell Americans on Thursday to not
believe their eyes or their bank accounts and to instead believe what leftists are telling them no matter how outrageous
or ridiculous. Two plus two equals five after all.
Seven
Times the Media Lied about 'Disinformation' that was True. Just about every time the mainstream media
tells you that something is "disinformation," it turns out that it's the media that is pushing the lies. Last
week, Just the News put together a list of seven important times that the media told everyone something was
"disinformation," but that later turned out to be true. The list includes:
• Hunter Biden's Laptop
• The origins of COVID-19
• COVID-19 vaccines
• Pelosi's Jan. 6 role and calling in the National Guard
• The mistreatment of Jan. 6 defendants
• Irregularities in the 2020 election
• Critical race theory in schools
How
Do You Successfully Lie To 300 Million People. Joe Biden is a pathological liar. That's easy to
prove. Just about every public statement that he's made is an outright lie. His claims about his law school
career and standing were false. He claimed to have marched during the civil rights movement — a
lie. He's lied repeatedly, boldly about Hunter's corrupt business dealings, and his intimate relationship to
them. He's spent 47 years stacking lie upon lie, building a colossal monument to his depravity and to the public's
gullibility. Biden lied about COVID, the efficacy of the "vaccine," the necessity of lockdowns, and the utility of
masks. He's lying about the border crisis, and how it will deform our Republic. He and his administration
are lying about inflation — a trip to the grocery store or gas pump will prove that lie. He and his
stooges continue to lie about January 6th, in particular about three police officers who were killed that
day — a tragedy that never actually occurred. Recently, he lied about how his son Beau died, claiming
he was killed in Iraq when, in fact, he died of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in 2009.
You may be tempted to give Biden a pass on that bizarre statement, but Biden is speaking out of the dark and twisted
lair that is his soul — a lifetime of lies is now manifesting itself through his dementia.
Whoopi
Goldberg Says The Left Is Never Violent, Never Heard Of An Antifa Riot. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and
co-host of "The View" Whoopi Goldberg clashed after she appeared to bring up the January 6 riot at the U.S.
Capitol. Cruz made an appearance on an episode of the show Monday during which Goldberg went off on Republicans
and how they react when they lose elections. Whoopi: "We may not like when R's win, but we don't go and we don't
storm..." Cruz: "Did I miss an entire year of Antifa riots where cities across this country were burning...?"
Whoopi: "I don't know what an Antifa riot is." Cruz: "The left doesn't engage in violence? Really?"

Why Biden
Went Far Left. One must never forget that most politicians are not like ordinary people. Most of us
are such that if we told a big public lie, for example, that we had finished in the top half our law school class when
we had actually finished in bottom 11% of the class, or that we had been arrested protesting for civil rights with
Nelson Mandela when we had not, or that Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes for the past decade when we knew he paid
taxes, or that one's political opponent had colluded with Russia in order to steal the 2016 presidential election when
we knew that is false, or say under oath that the southern border is secure when everybody knows it is not, we would,
once we had been exposed, be ashamed and have difficulty showing our faces in public for a long time. Similarly,
most of us would feel deeply ashamed if we enacted policies that led to 800+ deaths at the southern border ... and so
on. In fact, many politicians feel no shame whatsoever when they are exposed for telling big lies or
perpetrating destructive hoaxes or enacting deadly policies. The immediate reaction of most politicians when their
enormous lies, hoaxes, and body-counts are exposed is to start plotting how to get away with it. That is, most
politicians are concerned with securing their own wealth and power, in Joe's case, being "the Big Guy," truth never even
being in the mix. My diagnosis of Joe Biden's sudden lurch to the far left is that Joe pretty much never believed
in much at all. He said what he said and did what he did to secure his grip on power.
Ellison
denies knowing anyone who supports defunding police despite [his] own support for replacing police force.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is under fire for claiming he doesn't know anyone who supports defunding the
police despite appearing at a campaign event for Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., just days before. "I don't know
anybody who thinks we should defund the police," Ellison said during a debate on Sunday [10/23/2022]. But critics
were quick to point out that Ellison knew at least two people who supported the Defund the Police movement, with the
Republican National Committee pointing out that the incumbent attorney general had attended a rally in support of Omar
and Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., both of whom have expressed support for calls to limit police funding.
Stacey
Abrams Floats Abortion as an Inflation Fix: 'Having Children Is Why You're Worried' about Rising Prices.
Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia, floated abortion as a solution to voters' concerns about
inflation on Wednesday, explaining to Morning Joe viewers that "having children is why you're worried about your price
for gas, it's why you're concerned about how much food costs." Abrams, who lost the 2018 gubernatorial election to
incumbent Republican Brian Kemp, was responding to a question about what she would do to address inflation. [...] "You
can't divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child," countered
Abrams, who argued that "we don't have the luxury of reducing it, or separating them out."
Top 10 Scapegoats If
Democrats Lose the Midterms. We don't know how the election is going to play out, but at least one thing
is guaranteed: If Democrats lose, they are going to blame everyone but themselves for the outcome. Here are the
top 10 scapegoats Democrats are likely to blame for the party's poor performance at the ballot box in November.
We're in the Climate
Army Now. During the Global War on Terror, when the United States was engaged battling terrorists and
insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Left routinely lied to young voters that President George W. Bush in particular,
and Republicans in general, were going to reinstitute the draft and send them to these active military theaters.
The Left's message was less than subtle: vote for Democrats or else the GOP will make sure you're drafted and/or dead.
[...] Heading into the 2022 midterm elections, the Democrats and their media cohorts are now using the prospect of
nuclear war to try and prop up Joe Biden's sagging poll numbers, which threaten to drag his party's federal and state
candidates down to defeat. [...] Yes, if the Democrats' stoking of "civil war" rhetoric isn't enough to get their voters
to the polls for the 2022 midterm elections, why not toss in the prospect of nuclear annihilation — along a
path they and their minions have helped cement — even as they taunt the enemy to try to look like a tough
guy? What could possibly go wrong? Nonetheless, after Biden raised the prospect of nuclear Armageddon, it
should come as no surprise the Democrats have been mum about his administration reinstituting the draft.
DHS
Secretary Mayorkas knew "horse whipping" narrative was false, but he pushed it in the media anyway. In an
administration full of lying dirtbags, it is difficult to pick out the most egregious liar, since there are so many to
choose from, starting at the top and working your way down. But the winner in our mind is Secretary of Homeland
Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who doesn't just win the prize as the biggest liar in the Biden administration but also one
worthy of an Academy Award. Rewind your time machine back to September 2021, when a viral group of pictures came
forth which appeared at first blush to show border patrol agents on horseback whipping Haitian migrants who were
entering the country illegally. However it wasn't long at all before that narrative was debunked, including by the
photographer who took the pictures. That however didn't stop the Biden administration, including Mayorkas from
attempting to politicize the incident.
The
Left's Funny New Lie: It's The 'Red States' With More Crime! It's a lie told recently by Democrat
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and then repeated twice this week in The Washington Post. The latest came in a
column by Dana Milbank. "Violent crime is generally worse in Republican-run states," he wrote on Tuesday under the
headline, "It's just murder living in a red state." The source for that claim, the same one made by Newsom, is a
report published earlier this year by the leftist outfit Third Way. The report observed that "murder rates are far
higher in Trump-voting red states than Biden-voting blue states. And sometimes, murder rates are highest in cities
with Republican mayors." To start, the point in correlating crime and Democrat policies has never been that "blue
states" are violent hellholes. It was always that Democrat mayors and district attorneys are demonstrably anti-law
enforcement, and more interested in racial "equity" than in prosecuting offenders.
In
a Preemptive Move, Democrats Begin Blaming GOP Fraud if They Lose in November. Democrats across the
country are "sounding the alarm" about election fraud. Have Democrats seen the light and are now concerned about
election integrity? Not hardly; in fact, Democrats are already beginning to blame Republicans for fraud by
pointing out that a growing number of local election officials across the country believe in the so-called Big
Lie. This means that Republicans are prepared to try and steal the election and must be stopped.
Hochul:
'I'm Not Sure' Where 'People Leaving New York' Will Go, It's 'the Safest Big City in America'. During a
portion of an interview aired on Tuesday's [10/4/2022] edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power," New York
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that while "the horrific crimes that we're seeing" keep her up at night and are
"frightening" people, "New York City is still the safest big city in America. Look at Chicago, look at San
Francisco, look at Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington. People leaving New York, I'm not sure where they're going
to go because we are the safest big city in America."
The
radical Left's world of make-believe biology: Babies don't have heartbeats but men can give birth. The
corporate-controlled media is once again going to bat for Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who
continues to lie about the humanity of unborn babies. In a recent statement, Abrams falsely declared that "there
is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks," referring to embryonic development at the month-and-a-half stage of
gestation. "It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a
woman's body," Abrams alleges. A six-week-old embryo does have a heartbeat, by the way. And mainstream media
"fact checkers" should know this, except for the fact that they conveniently forgot because they really, really want
Abrams to win the election.
WaPo
gives Sen. Patty Murray 'Four Pinocchios' for saying Republicans plan to 'end' Social Security,
Medicare. The Washington Post handed down four "Pinocchios" to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., for her
claim warning of the "end" Social Security and Medicare if Republicans take control of Congress. Murray, who is
fighting in a tightening reelection battle against GOP challenger Tiffany Smiley, tweeted on Sunday, "Republicans plan
to end Social Security and Medicare if they take back the Senate." Glenn Kessler, the Post's fact-checker,
characterized Murray's tweet as a "'Mediscare' attack" to win over senior voters.
Gavin
Newsom's laughable gripe about conservative media bias. You have to admire the chutzpah of California
Gov. Gavin Newsom, who ludicrously claimed last weekend that Democrats were at a disadvantage because conservative
media controls the story. Really! "These guys are ruthless on the other side. Ruthless on the other
side," Newsom said. "That prime-time lineup by Fox, they are ruthless. They dominate the most important thing in
American politics today, and that's the narrative. Facts become secondary to narrative. They dominate with
illusion. We are getting crushed." It's the ultimate in projection. On story after story, the media
follow Democratic talking points to the letter. Asking for young children not to be taught about sex becomes
"Don't say gay." Crime-ridden Democratic cities? They're not that bad, the press says. As Post
columnist Michael Goodwin pointed out on Sunday, nowhere is this more true than with immigration. The media have
ignored or minimized the flood of illegal migrants, and ask no hard questions on President Biden's open-border policies.
Sorry
Liberals, But The Nazis Were Progressive Leftists. The real "big lie" is the creator of the concept of a
big lie was somehow "right-wing." The simple truth is every single despotic totalitarian is a left-winger.
Under the umbrella of "progressive" lives socialism, communism and fascism. But to hide the reality of what their
ideological brethren have committed, Democrats lie and say monsters like Mao, Stalin and Hitler were of the right.
This is impossible. There's a very simple way to think about this: think of political philosophy as a line
with a right and left direction. One side wants a government that does more, that grows in size and scope, and the
other wants one with a shrinking, smaller government doing less. Where do all of those "isms" fall on that
spectrum? They all feature massive government taxing [...] everyone, mandating behavior and regulating
lives. Yet, in an attempt to hide the ultimate nature of their agenda, Democrats and the media would have you
believe that, as you down the right side of the political spectrum and government is shrinking, at a certain point
government explodes into something gigantic with absolute control over everyone. The conservative belief in
individual rights disappears and becomes about collectivism, then it shrinks again as the line slides off to eventual
anarchy, which is the absence of government. How does that work? There is no rational way to ascribe fascism
to the right other than deflection. The Nazis were the National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party, it's right there
in their name.
Martha's
Vineyard Residents Wallow in Their Disgusting Hypocrisy. The demonstration was just one of many hard
knocks Vineyard residents have endured since 48 mostly Venezuelan migrants were removed from the "sanctuary" island by
the National Guard last Friday. After receiving basic support, but no invitations to stay on an island where
63 percent of homes are vacant in the offseason, the migrants now reside at Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC), a military
installation in mainland Massachusetts. Critics have been relentless in calling out Vineyard hypocrisy. As a
"sanctuary" jurisdiction in a self-proclaimed "sanctuary" state, Martha's Vineyard joined other such places, which
promise never to inform on migrants to immigration authorities. Yet it did precisely that the second even a small
number of them appeared in their midst. The Vineyard community allowed the migrants to sleep in a church hall and
gave them basic meals before the military took them away in the presence of cheering crowds of well-off locals who
sincerely believe they did a good and honorable deed. From the moment their "humanitarian crisis" began, Vineyard
residents congratulated themselves and lectured an incredulous world on their monumental virtue and inexhaustible compassion.
The
'Big Guy' Resurrects Big Brother NewSpeak. In 2017, Adam Schiff (D-CA-28) repeatedly promised, "I have the
evidence" of collusion between President Trump and the Russian government. He never produced the evidence because
it did not exist. The translation of his promise to produce the evidence is, "When I announce I have evidence,
people will think there is evidence." [...] ReverseSpeak is a variation of Democrat NewSpeak that is particularly
insidious. It involves speaking words that are the opposite of the truth. Democrat ReverseSpeak is readily
observed in the titles of Democrat legislation. For example, the Inflation Reduction Act increases
inflation. The Affordable Care Act doubled insurance costs and reduced access to care. ReverseSpeak was most
evident during the Russia collusion fiasco. Democrats spent more than two and a half years falsely accusing Donald
Trump of colluding with Russia. The reverse is what actually happened. It was the Democrats, not
Trump — specifically, the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign — who paid for the concocted
Steele dossier in collusion with Russian operatives.
White
House Clean-Up for Biden Turns Into Brazen Lying. Joe Biden's recent 60 Minutes provided a boon of
material on various topics. From his dismissal of high inflation to his assertion that people are just
psychologically incapable of being happy under his presidency, Biden did everything he could to confirm everything his
critics have said about him. Yet, because the president is uniquely bad at his job, he also managed to anger those
on his own side. It was this clip, where Biden says the "pandemic is over" that got the juices flowing of COVID-19
hysterics everywhere. [Tweet with video clip]
Joe Biden
Puts Humpty Dumpty To Shame. Last week, the Biden administration tried to convince the public that
inflation was a thing of the past and the southern border was secure. Before that, the president attempted to
redefine inflation. It's been a running theme of this administration, one Joe Biden never gets called on because
the press is too busy accepting whatever meaning he chooses. So here, as a reader service, is a collection of how
Humpty Dumpty Biden is choosing what words will mean. [...]
It's
Time to Stop the Left's 'Fact Check' Scheme. [Scroll down] Both examples above are how the modern
"fact-checking" regime works. They don't like your opinion, so they add "context" that wasn't there in the first
place, then disprove the context they added, knowing you will be flagged and possibly suspended from social media.
It seems impossible, but this is how modern-day fascism has crept into our society. When considering where we have
landed as a society, I always think of the book-burning scene in Indiana Jones. In the scene, Nazi soldiers are
throwing every book they disagree with on a massive fire and celebrating the destruction of opposing opinions.
Modern-day book burning doesn't look as dirty. In my case, two young female "journalists" named Mariah and Kyley
attempted to eliminate my opinion from society, most likely while sipping on a $7 latte in a trendy coffee shop
in Brooklyn.
Democrat-Aligned
Org. Caught Paying TikTok Influencers to Spread Lies About Jan. 6. If you needed any more evidence
that the left is desperately worried about the upcoming congressional elections, this should satisfy you. Preston
Moore, an attorney and TikTok influencer who discusses news related to legal issues, posted a video explaining how a
nonprofit organization called the Good Information Foundation offered him cash to cut a video in which he would
perpetuate disinformation related to the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021. [...] Moore ended up
refusing to work with the Good Information Foundation, likely because he's not a dishonest hack. But the fact that
such an organization would pay influencers to peddle narratives that are demonstrably false not only indicates that they
are essentially frauds, but that they are terrified about the thought of Democrats losing big in November and having the
Orange Man What Is Bad™ back in the White House after 2024.
Senator Ron
Johnson Blasts Big Tech Execs for Double Standards on Misinformation. Thursday, Senator Ron Johnson took
it to Big Tech for their practices of silencing and banning one side of the vaccine debate while letting the pro-vaccine
crowd get away with mis and disinformation. His presentation left them silent. "During that time period when
President Biden lied to the American public, 'This was a pandemic of the unvaxed. And if you got vaccinated,
you're not going to go the hospital. You're not going to be in [an] ICU unit, and you're not going to die.'
Well, 63.5 % of the people fully vaccinated were dying in England at the exact same time. Why didn't you pull
this? Have you ever labeled the President the United States' comment as misinformation? Have you ever done
that?" Silence ensues. "Any of you? I'll take that as a no."
Protecting
Lies With Disinformation. [Scroll down] This might give the impression that lying in and of itself
was a valuable skill. But if so, at the end of the '90s, the biggest problem of modern history must have been: why
didn't the Communists win? How did an empire founded on such clever messaging, ceaseless agitation, and unbounded
ruthlessness crumble so suddenly? The intuitive answer came in one word. You can choose your own word, but
it's the same idea with a different spelling. Communism wasn't defeated by men alone. It was crushed by the
operation of something external, call it "reality," or call it "the laws of nature." Somehow lying alone was
insufficient. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Winston Churchill's famous remark on the subject, "in
wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies," was that he said it to Joseph
Stalin at the Tehran conference with the missing element supplied. But Stalin missed the point.
Biden
Enters 'Baghdad Bob' Territory on Inflation and Immigration. We all remember Saddam Hussein's feckless
pitchman, "Baghdad Bob." The country's information minister (real name: Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf) made frequent
television appearances, repeating the mantra that everything was going according to plan. His most memorable
appearance came amidst the rubble of his capital city, where he continued to spew delusional nonsense. We expect
such dissembling from dictatorships, which control the media and extinguish discordant voices. That's what
Vladimir Putin is doing right now, hoping to prevent the Russian public from learning his army was demolished by
Ukrainian's counteroffensives in Kharkiv (in the northeast) and Kherson (in the south). Controlling information
is essential to regime security. In democracies, such deceit is much harder to pull off.
Numbers
Really Do Matter. I have always loved math and numbers. I love them because of their certainty,
their preciseness, and my confidence that 'truth is in the numbers.' I am untroubled by the suggestion that numbers
can be manipulated to show or prove anything, because numbers will tell the truth upon review. A significant part
of the progressive game plan is to cause normal people to doubt reality by creating questions where there should be
none. We are asked to close our eyes to what have always been obvious truths; that there are two genders, that
only women get pregnant, and that two plus two equals four. In truth, we are not just asked to accept the
existence of multiple genders, pregnant men, and two plus two is equal to whatever sum a loony progressive math
instructor decrees. It is demanded of us, lest we be deemed racists, misogynists, hopeless bigots, or worse.
Only by this gaslighting of truth and creation of an alternate universe where things are not what they seem can
progressives advance. Their magical thinking must be forced upon us until we accept it as real.
Immune to criticism: Biden
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Is Getting A Free Pass From Media Fact-Checkers. When Trump was
president, the media fact checkers never shut up. Every claim made by the Trump White House was examined and
relentlessly scrutinized. Yet Biden's press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who flat out lies on a regular basis and
frequently gets basic facts completely wrong, is getting a free pass from the fact check crowd.
White
House claims prices 'essentially flat,' throws 'inflation reduction' party as annual rate hovers at 8.3%.
President Biden threw an "inflation reduction" party Tuesday — even as inflation hit a worse-than-expected
8.3%, the stock market tumbled and stubbornly high prices for food and housing continue to slam American
households. Biden, 79, had classic folk rocker James Taylor kick off the White House South Lawn bash with his 1970
hit "Fire and Rain" — a song reportedly about suicide and heroin addiction — to belatedly
celebrate passage of his Inflation Reduction Act spending bill. But Biden, who hailed the 74-year-old Taylor as "a
voice that heals our soul and unites a nation," failed to mention the market rout sparked by the dismal Labor
Department's Consumer Price Index released earlier Thursday.
Everyone
Around Biden Is an Election Denier, Including Him. If you watched Joe Biden's primetime speech on
Thursday, you would have seen him insist that anyone who questions the results of an election is a "threat to our
democracy." "Democracy cannot survive when one side believes that there are only two outcomes to an election:
either they win or they were cheated," he claimed. "And that's where MAGA Republicans are today." Conveniently
absent from his speech was the acknowledgment that Democrats have a long history of believing that the only two outcomes
of an election are when they win or the election was stolen — including himself. In 2020, when a
supporter of his told him she thought Trump was an illegitimate president, he agreed. In 2013, he also said he
believed that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election that he actually lost. Biden's vice president, Kamala
Harris, also said that Trump was an illegitimate president. Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, also
believes the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary. On top of that his own chief of staff, Ron Klain, still
believes that the 2000 election was "stolen" from Al Gore.
One
of the most devastating video threads I've seen. Have we gotten to the point where everyone believes it's
acceptable for officers of public administration to lie to the press and people? I'm not naïve. I know
that politicians spin, and that media contorts, and that everyone interprets things through a lens of their own prior
bias. In our modern era where no one is allowed to admit their faults, I honestly don't expect a public official
or their spokeswoman to go out and fall on a sword. But that's not what this is. This? This is
flagrantly lying when everyone in the room knows you are lying. It's Baghdad-Bob-type antics. It's
shameless. She wouldn't even have to "accept responsibility" for school closures. She could argue that while
the data is certainly pointing to a devastating lack of progress for young people due to COVID school closures, that
reality is still preferable to the kind of death and suffering that was the alternative. But to stand behind that
podium and stammer over your words, trying to choke out of your mouth the bold-faced lie that Democrats were the ones
working diligently to get schools open is such a betrayal of the public trust I'm not sure why any self-respecting
member of the press would grace another one of Karine Jean-Pierre's awkward, unprepared briefings.
A
Lawsuit Exposes the Southern Poverty Law Center's Lies. Twenty-one years ago, Dustin Inman, a sixteen year
old boy, lost his life to a Mexican illegal alien. That alien is still a wanted fugitive. Under the Trump
administration, the ICE VOICE office was established to help victims of illegal aliens and Dustin's killer appear on its
most wanted list. In one of his numerous acts of calculated cruelty, Biden shut down ICE VOICE. And two
decades later Dustin's killer is still out there. There are tragically a thousand cases like this. But some
of them make people step up. That's how D.A. King founded the Dustin Inman Society. The former Marine
financed it with his life savings, borrowed against his house and sold his inheritance. Since then he has fought a
tireless campaign in Georgia against an illegal alien crisis that only keeps getting worse. And now he's fighting
one against the Southern Poverty Law Center. A decade ago the Southern Poverty Law Center called him a "nativist",
but admitted the Dustin Inman Society wasn't a hate group. "Because he is fighting, working on his legislation through
the political process, that is not something we can quibble with, whether we like the law or not," Heidi Beirich, the
woman behind the SPLC's infamous hate labeling, conceded. Now, the SPLC lists the Dustin Inman Society and D.A. King
as an "anti-immigrant hate group" because he favors enforcing the nation's laws. King responded by suing the SPLC.
The
Political Party That's Built On Lies. The Democrats have also lied about Antifa (New York Democratic
Rep. Jerry Nadler said it's a "myth"), swore that the right is overrun with white supremacists, and are
consistently dishonest about the environment, the climate, firearms, and their fealty to the Second Amendment as well as
the rest of the Constitution. They pretended to respect the rule of law, those who enforce the law, and the limits
of the executive branch. There is an incessant drumbeat that nothing is ever their fault. All of it is
false. And who can forget about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lying about her email server,
repeatedly, knowing full well the media would never press the issue? And the late Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid lying about then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney paying no income taxes for 10 years, and laughing about it
later? No ramifications whatsoever.
When
Must a Good Citizen Become a Dissident? [Scroll down] This is a war between those who embrace
cynicism and those who embrace virtue. The cynics are so committed to using fabricated "narratives" to obtain and
maintain power that they have discarded even the pretense of seeking universal truths. Whatever aids them in their
conquest over others is sufficient justification for defense. Is man-made climate change real? Is Donald
Trump a Russian spy? Is America plagued with systemic racism? Is COVID really the deadliest pathogen to
afflict humanity? To the cynics, the answers do not matter. Pursuing conclusory "narratives," devoid of
supporting evidence though they be, is valuable in itself. Even the most ugly, monstrous lies are worth protecting
if those falsehoods serve their purpose — to comfort the powerful and afflict the powerless. For those
who believe in pursuing truth and virtue, this "ends justify the means" behavior is maddening. It is not easy
living in a world where so many around us peddle delusions, malice, and lies. It is not easy to maintain clarity
and balance when demonstrable truths are labeled as "misinformation" and outright fantasies are marketed as gospel truth.
WH
Explanation for Putting Marines at Biden's Political Speech Is Shameful. The White
House and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre don't care much about the truth. All they care
about is saying things that sound good to help them hold onto their power, even if they have no
relation to reality. Holding onto power is always the goal. So when Joe Biden had a
primetime spot to talk to the American people, he didn't talk about the concerns that are affecting
the American people like inflation, as Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) observed. Instead, Biden
attacked millions of Americans, dividing the country against itself to deflect from his failures,
because the Democrats have nothing else to run on but hatred.
Joe
Biden Calls on Americans to 'Stop' MAGA Republicans. President Joe Biden called on
Americans to "stop" MAGA Republicans, whom he consistently cast as a dark force against democracy
in his "Soul of the Nation" prime-time speech on Thursday [9/1/2022]. While much of the
president's dark and brooding speech focused on demonizing MAGA Republicans, one particular moment
took the demonization a step further when the president appeared to suggest that Americans take up
the mantle of isolating Trump supporters. The president said this after portraying MAGA
Republicans as direct threats to American democracy. "MAGA Republicans do not respect the
constitution," he said. "They do not believe in the rule of law, they do not believe
in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people." "MAGA forces are determined
to take this country backwards," he added. "Backwards to an America where there is no right to
choose. No right to privacy. No right to contraception. No right to marry who you
love. They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence."
The Editor says...
If Republicans "do not believe in the rule of law," why were they all upset about Hillary Clinton's
secret email server, Anthony Weiner's laptop, Hunter Biden's laptop, and Sandy Berger's socks?
Why were they all upset about BLM riots, unprecedented quarantines for healthy citizens, Jeffrey
Epstein's murder, mandatory vaccinations, and the stolen presidential election in 2020?
Why are they now upset about the political prisoners from the January 6th (2021) protest,
the wide-open international border, and the noisy protests in front of the Supreme Court justices' homes?
If the rule of law doesn't matter, why does anyone even mention the murder rate in Chicago, violent crime
in the New York City subways, or the homeless bums defecating in the streets in San Francisco?
We
Have Been Thinking about This All Wrong. For many of us, the path our governmental
leaders have recently taken has been perplexing. Many of the policy decisions that perhaps
sounded good (at least to some) have turned out to be not only clearly deleterious, but often
catastrophic for our country. Without hyperbole, I mean catastrophic for our economy, our
national defense capability, our national sovereignty, the safety and security of citizens, and our
standing among other nations of the world. We hear that inflation is "temporary," that "we
are not in a recession," that the administration "feels our pain" at the gas pump and is making a
historic effort to bring down prices (though we should really focus on the fact that we are in an
exciting "Great Transition"). Even though our money doesn't go nearly as far as it used to,
our economy is in the midst of a "booming recovery." We are told that a massive new spending
bill will somehow reduce inflation — (the "Inflation Reduction Bill"). Even the
government's own CBO stated that it will do almost nothing to reduce inflation. Most
economists say it will make inflation much worse. These statements don't seem to align with
empirical evidence — our everyday experience!
The
Short Life (And Amazingly Fast Death) Of The FBI's Mar-A-Lago Play.
[Scroll down] In the end, it came down to a vote, where Nancy Pelosi's Democratic House
impeached the president on partisan lines and the Republican Senate acquitted him, with only
Republican Mitt Romney joining the Democrats in their guilty votes. Ever-loyal Mitt was still
a "good Republican." Along the way, lie after lie and hoax after hoax was thrown Republicans'
way. Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a gang rapist; Trump was ignoring Russian murder bounties on
American soldiers; and on and on. Each time, fewer and fewer Republicans and center-right
pundits went along. Each time, the "good Republicans" made more of a mockery of themselves
and their much-cited "principles."
Damage
Control: Karine Jean-Pierre Denies FBI Raid Was Politicized. White House Press Secretary Karine
Jean-Pierre denied allegations that the Department of Justice's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property
was politicized. [...] The White House Press Secretary was out doing damage control on ABC's This Week over the FBI
raid of the Trump family home.
Sen.
Bennet's midterm ad depicts him as an outdoorsman, but it was filmed on a 24-hour fishing license. A second
campaign ad for Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet features the Colorado senator on a fishing expedition with an
unaffiliated voter in an apparent effort to show the wealthy businessman as an outdoorsman. But he reportedly bought a
24-hour fishing license to shoot the ad. Bennet, who is seeking to appeal to more outdoorsy, working-class Americans
ahead of the November midterms, went fishing in the new ad, "Reel Focused." Following its release, Axios reported
Bennet purchased a 24-hour license just for the day of filming.
'We
had Zero percent inflation': Biden dazed and confused after July 8.5% inflation rate announced. The Labor
Department released the inflation report Wednesday and while any fair-minded person can tell the economy is far from looking
up, President Joe Biden has well and truly embraced Orwellian dystopian doublethink and, instead of saying "2+2=5," declared
8.5 equals zero. While holding a ceremony Wednesday to sign the PACT Act that, in part, addresses the healthcare needs
of veterans who suffered illness or injury from exposure to burn pits, Biden attempted to draw a win on the consumer price
index (CPI) coming in at 8.5 percent for the month of July. That number was indeed a drop from the year-to-year metric
that marked a 40-year high in June at 9.1 percent, but it was also a far cry from what the president claimed.
How
to Pin Down Leftist Lies. Let's face it: the anti-liberty left's socialist national agenda is based on a
number of false premises and lies. Remember, it's rooted in authoritarian socialism with forced wealth redistribution
and a centrally controlled economy, no matter how they try to dress it up with flowery labels. They can never be
honest, always having to lie to hide the facts. Lies always lead to contradictions because the story keeps changing.
Dems
Tell the American People "The Inflation Reduction Act" Won't Raise Taxes. Democrats love taxes. The
never-ending promise that they won't raise taxes almost always leads to more taxes. So why should we believe the
Inflation Reduction Act won't lead to a hideous tax burden on the American people? Well, we shouldn't. [...] The
Inflation Reduction Act is going to increase taxes on every American income tax bracket, large, or small, regardless of the
lies told to us by the Biden administration and the arguments from Democrats that regular Americans will not see their taxes
increase under this proposal, according to data from the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). The cap, we were
told, was $400,000.00, but this is not the truth. This legislation is just the Green New Deal and Build Back Better
repackaged into one colossal disaster.
'Dystopian
Myths': Paul Krugman Shames Americans for Believing BLM Riots Happened in 2020. Economist and New York Times
columnist Paul Krugman said it's wrong for Americans to believe widespread BLM riots occurred in 2020, calling it one of the
many "dystopian myths" in the nation. Krugman even went as far as to say the destruction in New York City "never
happened." "Well, first of all, there's the specific issue of the whole Black Lives Matter demonstrations, which a
large part of the country, certainly a lot of the mail I get, people think that you know, lots of Manhattan was burned to the
ground," Krugman told CNN's Brian Stelter on Sunday [7/31/2022].
Records
Contradict Biden Judicial Nominee's Claim That She Never Registered As Lobbyist. President Joe Biden's Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals nominee claimed she never registered as a lobbyist, but records reveal she did. That nominee,
Roopali Desai, wrote in her Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire that she never registered as a lobbyist. However,
The Daily Wire discovered that Desai is registered as an inactive lobbyist within the Arizona secretary of state's lobbyist
database. Her presence in the record system dates back nearly a decade. "[I] have not performed lobbying activities
or registered as a lobbyist," wrote Desai in her questionnaire. It appears that this contradiction escaped the Senate's
notice, as Desai's nomination was expedited to an executive business meeting Thursday. The Senate Judiciary Committee
voted to advance her nomination to the Senate floor; the only "no" votes came from senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX),
Josh Hawley (R-MO), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). It's a comparatively quick turnaround: Desai's initial hearing
occurred about two weeks ago on July 13, about a month after her nomination.
Why Do Democrats
Lie So Much? Monkeypox is a threat to everyone. Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth does not
mean a recession. Joe Biden isn't a creepy pervert suffering from dementia who profited off his government positions
and was a horrible father who raised degenerates. You know, irrefutable facts denied because they are inconvenient to
the left. You can't really expect much else from people who attempt to deify violent criminals and junkies, to the
point of enabling riots that ruin cities, simply to score some cheap political points. Generations of the people Democrats
claim domain over the guardianship of have been irrevocably harmed by the "help" Democrats offer, what's one more go-round?
Joe
Biden's Lies Have Caught up With Him. One of the least impressive aspects of this amazingly inept White House
administration is its blithe disregard of truth and enthused embrace of lying. As if uttering an untruth makes what
they want come true because they think Americans are dumb enough to fall for it. Safe to say, most presidents,
certainly the modern ones, have failed to live up to George Washington's fabled inability to tell a lie. And at one
time or another — or perhaps several times — told what Mark Twain deliciously called "stretchers."
Sometimes mainstream media call them out. Not during the Obama administration, of course. But certainly when
Republicans are chief executives. During our previous presidency, some media delightedly counted the president's
untruths up into the thousands. They're way too busy to do that now naturally, though they're missing a real opportunity
to show their watchdog bona fides with Joe Biden and his crowd. There are real-life consequences to serial lying.
The
vast majority of pharmacology, psychiatry, vaccine science and published research is a complete fraud.
Essentially, Big Pharma and the complicit pharma-funded corporate media have been committing massive medical fraud for
decades, lying to the public and promising that SSRI pills will make you happier. In reality, it only made Big Pharma
richer. The entire industry is rooted in fraud and fake science. [...] And now, we're told by White House Ministry of
Truth propagandists that two consecutive quarters of shrinking GDP is no longer a "recession" because a Democrat is in the
White House. And the fake information "authority" Wikipedia altered its own definition of "recession" to match the
economic lies of the White House, then froze the page and disallowed all edits. The entire field of MMT —
Magical Monetary Theory — is rooted in complete delusion and fakery, claiming that governments can print money to
infinity with no inflation and no negative consequences.
LA
County Public Health's Ferrer Incredibly Denies Having Seen Study Her Department Published, Co-Authored by Her
Daughter. Since RedState published an exclusive story Tuesday regarding a CDC-published study regarding COVID
protocols in Los Angeles County schools that was relied upon by the CDC and Los Angeles County Public Health to require
masking in schools, and which was co-authored by LA County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer's daughter, who didn't
disclose that relationship, there's been an intense local media focus on the story. As a result, Ferrer faced numerous
questions about the issue during her weekly press briefing Thursday and her response was incredible, as in, not credible.
[...] Trust in public health authorities has eroded as "two weeks to flatten the curve" has turned into two-plus years of a
State of Emergency in California and as we've witnessed officials openly flouting public health "orders" while the plebes are
forced to pay the price.
Someday,
Maybe, a Canadian Reckoning. According to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his chief accountant Chrystia
Freeland, runaway inflation and the recession it announces are something of a godsend. Price increases, she said in a
recent address, are "a reminder of why climate action is so important, and why we have to work... faster towards a green
economy." The benefits, according to this authority, are clear: More green energy, lower prices. The claim
is so fatuous as to induce intellectual migraine.
Biden
Blames Republicans For Soaring Gas Prices. President Joe Biden blamed Republicans for soaring gas prices in a
Sunday [7/10/2022] tweet, moving on from the "Putin-price hike" shtick. Biden attempted to shift blame onto Republicans
as a way to drive up support amongst voters for the November midterms. "Republicans are doing nothing but obstructing
our efforts to crack down on gas-price gouging, lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, and hopefully, soon, lower your
prescription drug costs," Biden tweeted.
The Great Regression.
A word of caution is needed about the pretentious and supposedly benign signature title of the Great Reset project.
Assume the worst when the adjective "great" appears in connection with envisioned fundamental, government-driven, or global
political changes. What was similar between Lyndon Johnson's massively expensive but failed "Great Society" and Mao's
genocidal "Great Leap Forward" was the idea of a top-down, centrally planned schema, cooked up by elites without any
firsthand knowledge, or even worry, how it would affect the middle classes and poor. So often, the adjective
"great" is a code word of supposed enlightened planners for radical attempts at reconstruction of a society that must
be either misled or forced to accept a complete overhaul. [...] The same linguistic suspicions hold true of the use of the
noun "Reset." It assumes a year-zero arrogance that all that came before was flawed. And all that will follow, we
are assured, will not be so defective.
Biden
Hops on the Rape Bandwagon. I wrote [elsew]here about the sensational story of a 10-year-old rape victim in
Ohio who had to travel to Indiana for an abortion. The story, phoned into an Indiana newspaper by an abortionist who
seems to spend most of her time promulgating pro-abortion propaganda in the press, spread around the world almost
instantaneously. But there is little reason to believe it is true. No one, including Snopes, has been able to
verify it, there is no sign of any criminal investigation or prosecution of the supposed rapist, and the abortionist who
originally peddled the story seems to have gone to ground. But that didn't stop Joe Biden: in his press conference on
abortion today, he retailed the story as his best evidence of the desirability of abortion on demand, up to the moment of birth.
Don't
Let The Democrats Claim The Mantle Of Freedom. Psychological projection is the act of attributing one's
unpleasant traits to someone else. Psychological deflection is a way of shifting attention away from one's poor
behavior to another person. Both are used expertly by Democrats, who don't want the voters to catch on to their
act. We could start with any of the Democrats' many examples of projection and deflection, but let's focus on one of
the most recent instances of a Democratic pot calling a kettle black: California Gov. Gavin Newsom's Florida
television ad. "Freedom is under attack in your state," Newsom said in a voice a bit less croaky than his usual raspy
delivery. "Your Republican leaders, they're banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms,
even criminalizing women and doctors.
White
House Press Secretary Claims Current U.S. Status is Best Economy in Our Nation's History. White House Press
Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is, at this point, transparently identified as the least qualified and capable person to hold
that position in modern history. She genuinely is lacking the ability to articulate intelligent responses to any
questions. It is also obvious to those who have followed Biden personnel decisions, that KJP was selected because she
would spout the information given to her by Chief-of-Staff Ron Klain without a moment's hesitation. She is not
intelligent enough to know the talking points are complete nonsense. She spouts the most ridiculous talking points in a
manner that reflects she believes them. That said, her capacity to stumble through nonsense and pretend it is real is
only surpassed by Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg.
WH
Tells Whopper on Economy, Secret 'Plan' to Deal With Inflation Is Hilarious. Joe Biden and his team are so fond
of telling lies, that it seems like it's hard for them to distinguish between falsehood and reality. But even for them
and their level of lying, the audacity of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was something else on Thursday, when
she was trying to sell how good the economy is. Fox's Peter Doocy asked about inflation and a poll that said 88 percent
of Americans thought that the country was on the wrong track. As we reported, Jean-Pierre tried to gaslight people,
blaming "Putin's tax hike." They still haven't absorbed that always blaming Putin for having more control over the economy
than Joe Biden not only is a lie, but it also makes Joe Biden look even weaker if he's so controlled by Putin.
The
Mass Psychosis of Liberals. It's been my lifelong observation that liberals are a mostly conflicted, tormented
group suffering from mass psychosis. They wrap themselves up in do-good, virtue-signaling knots and then attempt to
rationalize positions even they know are indefensible by putting forth the most tortured, illogical explanations
imaginable. Merely calling those positions "lies" doesn't go anywhere near far enough. Liberals have mastered the
art of wanting to believe in a false reality, constructing a Bizarro Universe, while at the same time, excusing themselves
for committing the very same transgressions against society and nature that they accuse others of doing. Let's look at
a few examples. [...]
CNN
is already blaming Russia for the Democrat losses in the upcoming midterm elections. CNN itself "reported,"
Homeland Security and other national security officials are worried that Russia could "significantly exploit" U.S. divisions
over the November midterms, and are considering scenarios like the Ruskies "staging smaller hacks of local election
authorities — done with the deliberate purpose of being noticed — and then using the pretense to seed
more conspiracies about the integrity of our elections." These efforts, the officials said, according to CNN, "would be
designed to dovetail with the false doubts about the 2020 presidential election spread by former President Donald Trump and
many of his allies."
Fact Check: WH Falsely
Claims Ukraine War 'Biggest Single Driver of Inflation'. Claim: Putin's war against Ukraine is the
biggest driver of inflation, the White House said Monday. [Tweet] Verdict: False. Inflation was high and
rising long before the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 0.6 percent in May
of 2021 after rising 0.8 percent in April., On an annual basis, prices were up 5.0 percent, the largest 12-month increase
since a 5.4 percent increase for the period ending August 2008. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, was
3.8 percent over the previous 12 months, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending June 1992.
What
Do 'Men Give Birth' and 'Defund the Police' Have in Common? Unless you are brainwashed, you regard the
statements "men give birth" and "defund the police" as absurd. Why, then, do leftists (as opposed to liberals and
conservatives) say these things and even believe them? I think there are two — related —
explanations. One is that the Left seeks to tear down every normative institution. If men give birth, "man" and
"woman" no longer mean anything. "Men give birth" means the end of the male-female distinction, the most basic
distinction in the human race. Racial distinctions pale in comparison. So do national distinctions.
Marxists support the obliteration of the male-female distinction because the only distinction that matters to Marxists is
that of class. The other explanation is that the endgame of leftism is chaos. It is related to the first
explanation, since the obliteration of all distinctions is chaos. Distinctions mean order. Having no distinctions
means chaos.
White
House Gets Busted in Multiple Lies About Ron DeSantis. Democrats are so frightened of Florida Gov. Ron
DeSantis as a possible 2024 candidate that they are constantly making up noise against him to try to blunt his chances.
It never works, but they always come out looking desperate and silly. [...] Several problems with these claims. First,
the government doesn't dictate to doctors or hospitals what to get for their patients. Both Jean-Pierre and the media
are casting this as DeSantis wouldn't "allow" this. Doctors and hospitals were not prohibited from getting vaccines;
the only thing DeSantis was saying was that the state wasn't going to pre-order it, on behalf of the state. As DeSantis
said, "Doctors can get it. Hospitals can get it. But there's not going to be any state programs that are going to
be trying to get COVID jabs to infants and toddlers and newborns."
Debunking
10 of Joe Biden's lies about the state of the US economy. CLAIM: Biden on Wednesday accused US oil companies of
making excessive profits. He ordered them to "take immediate actions to increase the supply" of gasoline and diesel
fuels. REALITY: Biden's own policies have disrupted energy markets. The American Petroleum Institute issued a
list of 10 steps Biden could take to reduce supply disruptions, including ending obstruction of permitting on natural gas
projects, lifting development restrictions on federal lands and waters and ending Trump-era steel tariffs. CLAIM: Biden
apparently thinks that public raving can restore confidence in his leadership. He literally screamed at the AFL-CIO
audience: "I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending. We're changing people's lives!"
REALITY: Federal Reserve analysts estimated that Biden's deluge of handouts added 3% to the inflation rate by late last
year. The Federal Reserve has boosted the money supply by 40% since the start of the pandemic, helping fuel price
surges across the board.
Capitol
Police debunk Liz Cheney, Jan 6 committee claim. Less than a week into its heavily hyped televised hearings,
the House select committee on the events of January 6, 2021, is reeling after the big primetime rollout was a ratings bomb
and now, one of the sinister conspiracy theories put forth by star member Liz Cheney has been exposed as a completely
dishonest piece of narrative engineering to implicate GOP lawmakers in a plot to overthrow the government. On Tuesday,
Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger shot down the false claim by Cheney and committee chairman Bennie Thompson that
Rep. Barry Loudermilk personally led a group of rioters on a January 5 reconnaissance walk-through of the Capitol
complex — an accusation that has been vehemently denied by the Georgia Republican — a major blow to the
efforts of the kangaroo court which is off to a rough start. In a letter to Rep. Rodney Davis, the ranking member
of the House Administration Committee, Manger advised the Georgia Republican that the malicious Cheney's claim was pure
hogwash and that no evidence exists that proves the embattled Wyoming congresswoman's sensational accusation of a
Loudermilk-led recon patrol on the day before the so-called "insurrection" at the Capitol.
Democrats
Can't Define a 'Woman,' But They're Sure About 'Violent White Supremacist'. When it comes to defining a
"woman," Democrats begin navel gazing with such passion and expertise a Yogi experiencing Samadhi would be envious.
What preschoolers take for granted, drives Democrats to apoplexy. Most of us figured out the difference between boy
parts and girl parts prior to mastering tetherball. Apparently, the mystical state of "woman" is so complex it stumped
an esteemed oracle of jurisprudence. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked by Senator Martha Blackburn
to define the word "woman." Jackson was stunned by Senator Blackburn's Gordian Knot — if only Alexander the
Great were still around to whisper the solution into Jackson's ear. Instead, the subsequently confirmed justice
sputtered that she was not a biologist and, therefore, was unqualified to answer that complex, philosophical question.
We all know she knows the definition of "woman." Her evasion was all political theatre — perception
management — and that makes the lie and betrayal even more heinous.
White
House says Biden has sparked 'historic economic boom' as Dow plunges into bear market amid record inflation.
The White House defended President Joe Biden's economic record on Monday as the nation experienced historic inflation, gas
prices over $5 a galloon and the stock market dropping. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued President
Biden actually made historic economic gains, which would help the American people go through these economic 'challenges.'
She blamed inflation — prices in May were 8.6% higher than a year earlier — the greatest increase since
1981 — on the covid pandemic and on Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in the Ukraine. 'You know, with this
price, high inflation coming, coming out every once in a generation, global pandemic, all of those things play a factor,'
Jean-Pierre said. But, she argued, that America would bounce back under Biden.
Biden
blames Republicans, Russia for soaring inflation. President Joe Biden on Tuesday blamed Republicans and the
Russian invasion of Ukraine for soaring US inflation, in a bid to deflect voter anger over his inability to keep prices
down. Speaking to trade unions in Philadelphia on the eve of the Federal Reserve's likely decision to raise interest
rates again, Biden said inflation is "sapping the strength of a lot of families." Biden said he feels Americans' pain,
having grown up in a family where news that the price of gasoline had gone up "was a conversation at the dinner table.
It mattered." But he rejected arguments that his government's massive spending to stimulate the economy at the tail end
of the Covid-19 pandemic was to blame, instead citing shockwaves from Ukraine and Republican obstruction.
Gavin
Newsom: America Has a 'Red State Murder Problem'. California Governor Gavin Newsom tried to reframe the
political narrative on crime Saturday, claiming that America has a "red state murder problem," rather than a problem of
homicide in Democrat-controlled cities across the nation. Newsom was speaking with Elex Michaelson, host of The
Issue Is podcast, on the occasion of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. He claimed the media had inflated
the broader significance of the recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Newsom, a former mayor of the
city, said that the recall had been "so predictable," and that he had "enjoyed it," though he argued that nothing about the
recall "warranted the attention nationally as some arbiter of something farther-reaching." Whe he acknowledged that
Democrats "absolutely" bear some responsibility for the crime wave in San Francisco, Newsom said that Republicans are more to
blame for the nationwide crime wave, and blamed media bias for the focus on California.
Bidenomics: The Left's Latest
Alibi. If you are among the 8 in 10 Americans who believe the economy is tanking, relax. Never mind that
the consumer-price index just hit 8.6 percent. Ignore skyrocketing gas prices. Forget that the gross domestic
product shrank at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to shrink further.
Disregard the collapsing supply chain highlighted by empty shelves in the grocery store. Dismiss the dizzying descent
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. According to the White House and the legacy media, none of these things
matter. The real problem bedeviling the economy is bad vibes.
Rubio
cancels meeting with David Hogg after false tweet: 'Don't lie again — we have receipts'. David Hogg
posted a viral tweet Thursday morning [6/9/2022] claiming that Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, was afraid to meet
him and would be "triggered" by the college student's presence. That was untrue. According to exchanges on social
media compiled at the Daily Wire and elsewhere, Mr. Hogg not only had been set to meet with Mr. Rubio on Thursday
afternoon, but even had press coverage scheduled.
Press
Sec Karine Jean-Pierre has entered the Twilight Zone. New Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre yesterday
ignored the First Law of Holes and kept on digging. It's been a rough start for the Psaki successor, reading from notes
rather than spontaneously answering questions, and cutting off briefings and walking out as reporters continue to shout
questions. But yesterday, trying to defend the miserable mismanagement of the economy, she fully escaped the bounds of
reality and entered what must be the Twilight Zone. Precisely nobody will believe this: ["]What we're trying
to say, what I'm trying to say to you, is that the economy is in a better place than it has been historically.["]
Compared to 1929, maybe we're better off. So what? Let's compare today to 2019. Biden
White House Deflects: 'The Economy Is in a Better Place than it Has Been Historically'. The Biden White House
is attempting to deflect from the dire state of affairs — rampant inflation and ever-rising gas
prices — as White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday claimed that the administration understands
but asserted that the economy is "in a better place than it has been historically." "We understand that people are
feeling — feeling this. They are feeling the increase of prices, which — with food, in
particular, right now, and gas. That is — that is something that we understand," Jean-Pierre said during
Tuesday's press conference.
The
dystopian state of our nation. What to do? Wake up! Vote! Get involved with an election
integrity project or a precinct project. Fight back. Say no to medical mandates! Vote out the RINOs like
McConnell, Graham, Romney, Cheney, Kinzinger, etc. — all the fake conservatives who just want to be part of the
swamp long enough to get very rich without offending anyone else in that swamp. We know who they are; Trump exposed
them all to the sunlight. Don't believe a word uttered on CNN or MSNBC. Like the networks, their talking heads get
their talking points from the Democrat party, and they never deviate, which is why they sound like mindless mimics.
There is not a critical thinker among them. They might as well all be Kardashian cut-outs. They are all
Alinskyites now.
Karine
Jean-Pierre blames inflation on 'global challenges' and points finger at Trump for leaving economy in 'crisis'.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday morning blamed 'global challenges' including the invasion of
Ukraine and pointed to the Trump administration for inflation and the state of the economy. Biden is under pressure to
fix the highest inflation in 40 years and is calling it his top priority, but polls show Americans overwhelmingly doubt his
ability to turn things around. An ABC News poll from over the weekend found just 28 percent of Americans approve of
Biden's handling of inflation and 80 percent say it is an extremely important factor in how they will vote.
Legal
YouTuber: The Washington Post correction to Taylor Lorenz' story is still not correct. I've been through
these situations before where the story being put forward in public does not make sense and yet everyone seems eager to just
move on. If you were around more than a decade ago when a congressman named Anthony Weiner claimed his Twitter account
had been hacked you may know what I mean. If you missed that, his story fell apart but he still wound up running for
mayor of NYC sometime later before the whole mess surfaced again and he wound up in prison. I had the same queasy
feeling a few years ago when Joy Reid claimed that hackers had added anti-gay commentary to her personal blog. The
story never made any sense but many people seemed happy to just go with it.
Don't
laugh off the left's attempts to change history. This week, Nikole Hannah-Jones of the 1619 Project tweeted,
"Black people posed a danger to the country's idea of itself; they held up a mirror into which the nation preferred not to
peer. So the inhumanity visited on Black people by every generation of white America justified the inhumanity of the
past and the inequality of the present." She added, "The North did not fight the Civil War to end slavery." At the
start of the Civil War, she was, technically correct. The Union Army was just that: an army raised to preserve the
United States. However, on January 1, 1863, President Lincoln changed the context of the war with the Emancipation
Proclamation. For the next three years, the North was fighting to put an end to the institution of slavery and to bring
the rebel states back into the fold. Let's not forget that the South initiated the secession because of the fear that
President Lincoln and the North would abolish slavery in the first place. This isn't the first attempt by the
Progressives to rewrite our history.
Joe
Biden Says The 'Protests' In The Summer Of 2020 'Unified' People Of Every Generation. During recent prepared
remarks, President Joe Biden said the the 'protests' in the summer of 2020 unified people of every generation. First of
all, they were more like riots than protests. Secondly, the only people they united were the far left radicals doing
the rioting. Most people were repulsed by the left's behavior. Parts of cities were burned or destroyed in other
ways. Biden thinks this was unifying?
Gaslighting
101: How the Democrats Invented White Supremacy but Blame Republicans. If you were to believe leftist, bolshie
rhetoric you'd think mullet-topped bumpkins with muskets were falling out of every Ford F-150 rambling the back roads of
'Merica, looking to lynch black folks. The Democrats like to throw around the term "white supremacy" every chance they
get. Joe Biden, who gave a eulogy for an actual Klansman — Hillary Clinton's mentor Sen. Robert
Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest-serving Senator in history) — dared call 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse a "white
supremacist" after he lawfully ventilated three white Antifa prags in self-defense. The ONE attacker he didn't shoot
was the black guy who kicked him while Rittenhouse was on the ground.
Signs of a False Flag:
1. Asks you to respond emotionally rather than intellectually.
2. Strips the event of context, such as the contemporary factual setting, geopolitical reality, or historical awareness.
3. Demands a rush to judgment before a diligent, independent inquiry occurs.
4. Collectivizes judgment, by taking an individual event, and demands you blame an entire culture, religion, race, ancestry, community or country for it.
5. The only explicable motive offered for the offending action is irrational evil or utterly stupid immorality, as it is against the rational interest of the offender to commit the act for the reasons alleged.
Congrats
To The Media For Finally Finding A White Supremacist. Assuming the gunman who shot up the Buffalo, New York,
grocery store really was motivated by anti-black racism, let's do what the media do when faced with an Islamic terrorist who
goes on a killing spree in America and just refer to him as a "lone wolf," a mentally unstable individual who in no way
reflects any broader phenomenon or trend. Except, unlike with violent Muslim extremism, that characterization in this
case would be true. Despite what the media, Democrats, leftists, and, of course, the permanent Washington bureaucracy
say (over, and over, and over again), there is no imminent, large-scale threat from white nationalists. It doesn't
exist outside of Joe Biden's TelePrompter.
Good Riddance,
Jen Psaki. Press Secretary Jen Psaki leaves the Biden White House today after more than a year overseeing a
dishonest operation that helped a partisan and malleable press keep the American public in the dark. Dishonesty was a
calling card at Psaki's briefings. As President Joe Biden hid from the press in an unprecedented fashion, Psaki
asserted, "It's just not accurate to suggest that he isn't accessible or doesn't answer questions." And while pledging to
fight "disinformation," she used her bully pulpit to spoonfeed it to the national media. She was dishonest as the Biden
administration grappled with the pandemic. She pushed for masks in schools amid a growing consensus that it harmed
children. She obfuscated the administration's school reopening strategy, flip-flopping on how much in-person learning
would constitute a "reopening." In March, Psaki claimed "we don't know" whether COVID is less dangerous to children, even
though there has been plenty of evidence it is. In recent days, Psaki suggested no one could have predicted inflation
would soar to record highs, even as liberal economists warned Biden's policies would create that exact problem. And she
claimed the Biden administration had the situation at the southern border under control amid horrific reports of children
trapped in facilities at 1600 percent capacity.
On
her last day, Jen Psaki lies about Abbott's baby formula. When news of the baby formula shortage first became
widely known, one of the main causes, we were told, was that Abbott, the company that manufactures the formula, had put
tainted formula onto the marketplace, killing two infants and forcing the FDA to shut down its plant. And indeed,
that's exactly what Jen Psaki blamed during her final White House press conference before heading to MSNBC. Abbott, however,
pushed back hard, with facts supporting something Psaki knew or should have known: a federal investigation has shown it's
innocent of the charge. There are multiple reasons why there is a baby formula shortage in America. The problem
already began to make itself known last July thanks to the same supply chain issues affecting large swathes of America.
That did not trigger action from either Biden or Pete Buttigieg, the stunningly incompetent Transportation secretary and
daddy to twins dependent on formula.
White
House Tells Such a Despicable Blatant Lie Even CNN and WaPo Bust Them. How deep are the White House lies?
We see Joe Biden making up lies virtually every day. But perhaps some of the most offensive lies that he and his
administration tell are the ones that defy reality right in front of our faces. Such as when White House Press
Secretary Jen Psaki told us that Kamala Harris was socially distancing from people during Ketanji Brown Jackson's ceremony
(despite the pictures showing Harris hugging her), that there was no internal ceremony (despite pictures showing there was
one), and that Harris wore a mask while inside despite White House posting a video that showed she wasn't). They simply
didn't care about telling such blatant lies because they are largely not held accountable for it. I thought the Ketanji
Brown Jackson lies were bad, defying what we could see right in front of our faces. But the vaccine lie that the White
House told just may beat those for audacity.
WH
Spins a Tale When They Get Nailed Over Baby Formula Shortage. Is the White House lying even about their
response to the baby formula shortage? Listen as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claims Joe Biden has been
working on the issue that she blames on the Abbott Company recall. She says that they've been working on the problem
for months. [Tweet with video clip] Funny that. If they've been working on it for months, why hasn't Biden
hasn't made any public comment on the effort? White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it was a "top
priority" on Wednesday. But then, when she was asked who was the point person on the issue at the White House, Jean-Pierre
was unable to say. Some priority. They hadn't even said anything about it until the last couple of days.
The
Leftwing Insurrection. Not only has the left consistently claimed election fraud and illegitimacy, but they
also now claim the entire country is illegitimate. The United States is an illegitimate nation, an "unworthy republic,"
a country that has pillaged and stolen its way to power. Freedom is an illusion. Our institutions are corrupt and
rotten to the core. They must, because they are illegitimate and unworthy, be destroyed. So much for protecting
American democracy and the rule of law. The very language of the left implies insurrection and in some circles, there
are open calls for it. If the left cared about the United States, as some in the media claim they do, then they
wouldn't use language that implies the opposite.
Our world of lies.
As Russia is an exporter of energy and minerals, higher prices result in more export earnings. It is Americans and
Europeans hit with the high prices who are experiencing the sanctions. Ask yourself why with supply shortages,
disrupted supply chains from the mindless lockdown policy, and rising inflation the US government drove inflation higher by
inhibiting supply with sanctions. Is the cause of the current inflation Federal Reserve money printing or is the cause
the reduction in the supply of goods and services caused by Washington's Covid protocol and "Russian sanctions"? Ask
yourself why the Biden regime is more concerned about gangster-state Ukraine than it is about the US inflation rate and the
welfare of American citizens. Ask yourself if the current high gasoline price is really a result of sanctions
preventing oil from coming to market. As far as I can tell, Russia continues to sell oil and natural gas. It is
only the small US purchases of Russian oil that have stopped. The small amount of oil involved cannot explain the price
rise. Most likely it is the oil companies using the "crisis" narrative to raise prices.
Why
Would Rural Americans Vote for Those Who Hate Them? It never ceases to amaze me when the same politicians and
pundits who spew vile rhetoric aimed at rural Americans all year long turn around and ask for those Americans' votes.
The New York Times (the titular "paper of record" that pushed Trump-Russia "collusion" lies while ignoring the Biden Crime
Family's quid pro quo money-making in Ukraine) recently featured an opinion piece claiming that "Biden has already done more
for rural America than Trump ever did." Democrat lemmings quickly regurgitated the overrated rag's propaganda.
After feeling the tug on his leash from Old Witch Pelosi, the honey-trapped Congressman Eric Swalwell (whose dimwittedness
made him a natural target for the Chinese Communist Party to compromise) laughably insisted that under China Joe's lethargic
leadership, "we are all doing much better ... especially ... rural America." As is only fitting for a regime requiring
its own Ministry of Truth, Swalwell then instructed his (brain-dead) Twitter followers to share the Times story "to make sure
we all understand."
NPR's
infamously wrong Nina Totenberg: It 'makes sense' Supreme Court leaker [would be] a 'conservative clerk'.
In a display of mudslinging disguised as journalism, one NPR reporter maintained her track record of laying unsubstantiated
claims related to the Supreme Court when she dismissed any other possible origin for the SCOTUS leak other then a
"conservative clerk who was afraid." NPR's legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg appeared on ABC's "This Week"
Sunday where she was asked to assess the situation surrounding the release of Justice Samuel Alito's draft majority opinion
for the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Host Martha Raddatz brought her guest into the
segment by commenting on the lengthy duration for which Totenberg has covered SCOTUS.
PolitiFact
finds DeSantis was right, drops fact-check. PolitiFact is a Marxist propaganda machine that lives off tax-free
donations as if it were the Little Sisters of the Poor or some other worthy charity. My problem with PolitFact is that
its propaganda is so blatant — so obvious — so phony. They rub their lies in our faces. And
yes it lied in 2008 to get Obama elected president. For that it received a Pulitzer. Among other things,
PolitiFact vouched for Obama's Big Lie that you could keep your doctor. PolitiFact said that was 100% true. Only
after Obama was elected, Obamacare signed into law, and Obama re-elected did PolitiFact admit he lied. It falsely
called it the Lie of the Year in 2013. Wrong year. Obama told that lie repeatedly in 2008, not 2013.
The
last people anyone should trust to tell or determine the truth are journalists and government officials. There
are many examples of where the media colluded with the Democrats to intentionally spread misinformation to the public.
Here is a small sample: Democrats in Congress have repeatedly challenged elections where they lost yet they weren't
called treasonous, weren't said to be against democracy, where we didn't have endless hearings, and they weren't
silenced. Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and others repeatedly lied to the public about Obamacare, but the media not only didn't
silence them, but they also supported them. Obama and Hillary concocted a lie about Benghazi, as Americans were killed,
and the media never silenced them. The Obama administration used the media to spread lies to get support for the Iran
deal, yet the media never silenced them. Most of the media still supports the deal that enriched Iran, which continues
to spread terrorism and pledge death to America. The media and others intentionally spread the lie of "Hands up Don't
Shoot" that ginned up racial hate against cops. How many cops have been killed and injured because of that intentional
lie? Yet, no one who spread the lie has been silenced. The media, DNC, the Hillary campaign and government
employees colluded to spread the lie about Russian collusion to destroy Trump and they have not been silenced.
Trans
Health Official Claims All Pediatricians Agree on 'Gender-Affirming Care,' Which Simply Isn't True. Four-star
admiral and Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, the highest transgender official to serve in the US Government,
claimed in remarks shared Saturday with NPR that all pediatricians agree on "gender-affirming care," which can include
puberty-blocking drugs all the way up to non-reversible surgical procedures. [...] There is in fact plenty of debate about
the efficacy and safety of "gender-affirming" care, especially for the young, and to say otherwise is a flat-out
falsehood. It's a preposterous statement given that the Florida State Department of Health recently came to the
opposite conclusion, issuing its own guidance on April 20 which is completely at odds with Levine's takeaways.
Americans
Aren't Buying Biden's Tale Of Economic Recovery. The latest Gallup poll released Wednesday revealed that only
2% of Americans think economic conditions are "excellent," while 42% think conditions are "poor." More than
three-quarters of Americans feel that the economy is getting worse, according to polling data. Four in five adults rate
the country as "only fair" (38%) or "poor" (42%). Seventy-six percent of respondents believe the economy is getting worse,
with 20% saying it is improving, and only three percent feeling that it's staying the same.
Really? They criticized Donald Trump from day one. Welcome To Stagflation.
When it comes to the economy, Democrats like to say it's unfair to judge a president by his first year in office. Very
well. President Biden is now in his second year and now we have the statistical verdict of his economic stewardship
rendered by the first-quarter drop in GDP. Stagflation, anyone? It may well be that the first quarter's annual GDP
growth of -1.4% marks not just the beginning of a period of low or no growth accompanied by inflation, but also the return to
the stagflation that ruined the decade of the 1970s and helped destroy the presidency of Jimmy Carter. And no, you
can't blame Donald Trump anymore for things that go wrong. The economic disasters piling up are now on the progressive
Democrats' tab. They broke it, they bought it. Biden immediately spun the bad GDP news as due to "technical
factors," including a slowdown in government spending and a decline in net exports, which both contributed to the GDP drop.
Media
to Americans — The Economy Is Awesome, You Dolts!. When things go bad for Democrat presidents, the
corporate media generally circle the wagons in two ways. We are either told no president could solve these problems, so
don't blame the Democrat, or we're told things are double-plus good, and we're just too stupid to see it. Well, the
truth — and we all know it — is that things are strikingly awful with His Fraudulency Joe Biden at the
helm, so the media's gaslighting campaigns are in full bloom.
Biden
'Not Concerned about Recession,' Touts 'Enormous Growth' after Economy Shrinks in First Quarter. President
Biden attempted to allay concerns about the performance of the U.S. economy on Thursday after the Commerce Department
announced that the economy shrank over the first quarter of 2022. "I'm not concerned about a recession," Biden told
reporters at a press conference at the White House. "I mean, you're always concerned about a recession, but the GDP,
you know, fell to 1.4 percent," Biden added. "But here's the deal: we also had last quarter consumer spending and
business investment and residential investment increase at significant rates," and "unemployment's the lowest rate since
1970." Biden said that the U.S. was seeing "enormous" economic growth alongside Covid disruptions.
I'm
Starting to Think It's Not Actually About Democracy At All. [Scroll down] In fact, all of this worry and
panic is at the heart of the left's newfound love and redefinition of democracy. For years, they have told us that
corporations don't have First Amendment rights. They have trashed the Citizens United case pretty thoroughly since the
decision was handed down. But the moment a corporation goes fully woke in (a falsely framed) opposition to a law passed
by Republicans, they suddenly deserve all those rights, and how dare the Republicans push back against it.
Superhero
Obama Fights 'Online Lies'? The New York Times sounded a little giddy on the front page of its "Business"
section April 21 with the headline "Obama Joins Fight to Curb Online Lies." This spin strongly suggests former President
Barack Obama never lies. He's a valiant warrior against lies. That came after a badly disguised press release at
CNN.com on Obama "urgently throwing himself into the fight against disinformation." As usual, they make it sound like a
superhero has landed whenever Obama arrives on the scene. Never mind PolitiFact giving Obama the "Lie of the Year" in
2013 for when he said, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it." Never mind Obama's baldfaced lies in 2012 that
the Benghazi consulate attack wasn't a terrorist thing; it was a protest of an Islamophobic YouTube video that got out of
hand. As if the Islamic radicals brought grenade launchers to a "protest." This underlines why the liberal media
should not be trusted in a "disinformation" fight. They have a frustrating tendency to put themselves on the side of
"information" and conservatives on the side of "disinformation."
Attack
on Democracy: Democrats Still Believe Hillary Won in 2016. If you insist that the 2020 election was
stolen, you'll be accused of pushing "the big lie," inciting an insurrection, and attacking democracy. But if you
believe that Hillary Clinton was the legitimate winner of the 2016 election, that just makes you a Democrat. [... A]ccording
to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, 72% of Democrats still believe that Russia "succeeded" in altering the outcome of the 2016
election, putting Donald Trump in the White House. Despite thinking that Russia managed to alter the outcome of the
2016 election, Democrats insist that the 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history. However, as Democrats
are widely expected to lose their majority in November, a majority of Democrats (53%) believe it is likely that Russia will
try to interfere with the 2022 midterms.
Fake
News Lives On and On and On and On. The Russia collusion hoax was exposed long ago as a fraud, but these
Rasmussen survey results suggest that it was one of the most effective fake news campaigns ever. Rasmussen asked:
["]Hillary Clinton has said that "Russia succeeded" in influencing the 2016 presidential election. How likely is
it that Russian interference changed the outcome of the 2016 election?["] The results: ["]Democratic
voters overwhelmingly agree with Hillary Clinton that Russia is to blame for her defeat in 2016.["]
Report:
Joe Biden Plans to Avoid Midterm Disaster by Blaming [his] Woes on [the] GOP. Soaring gas prices, historic
inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, lifting crime rates, a porous southern border, and increasing U.S. absences on the
global diplomatic stage. President Joe Biden will reportedly address these issues — amongst many
more — dogging his administration in an election year with the simple mantra: "It's not my fault, blame the
Republicans." According to an Associated Press (AP) report Friday [4/22/2022], the president will seek to portray
himself as a man of action stymied at every turn by the GOP in a spectacular attempt at electoral blame shifting in the run
up to the midterm elections come November.
Former
'Lie of the Year' award winner Barack Obama announces crusade to stop 'spread of disinformation'. Barack Obama
has joined the leftist establishment's efforts to maintain control over their approved narrative, announcing that the Obama
Foundation will be devoting its resources to training the next generation of information monitors under the oft-invoked
pretense of combating "disinformation." a term which like "democracy" has been twisted into a pretzel in true Orwellian
fashion by the political left. Fresh off of his speech at the big "Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy"
conference sponsored by The Atlantic, Obama took to Twitter to announce his involvement in the new initiative, invoking the
key buzz words in a pair of tweets that were met with incredulity by many who can recall the former president's tendency to
play fast and loose with the truth during his eight years in the White House.
The Editor says...
On a nearby page, I have assembled a partial catalog of Barack H.
Obama's lies, which should go a long way towards the disqualification of Mr. Obama as the arbiter of disinformation.
Biden
and Putin Are in Business Together, Thanks to the Iran Deal. In 2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign devised a
plan to smear her rival and deflect attention away from her self-sabotaging use of a private email server — they
got the press and FBI to say that Donald Trump had been compromised by Putin. In 2020, the media and former U.S. spy
chiefs protected Biden's campaign by loudly and falsely claiming that [condemnatory] evidence of his family's ties to corrupt
foreign enterprises and officials found on Hunter Biden's laptop was "disinformation" leaked by Putin's spy services.
Both attempts to blame Putin for the Democratic Party's own messes were false. And now the White House claims that the
historic levels of inflation and surging food and energy prices that have turned voters against Biden are Putin's
fault. Never mind the insane amounts of money the U.S. government has been printing since the outbreak of COVID, or
Biden's decision to kill the Keystone pipeline on day one of his term and tell domestic energy producers to go jump off a
bridge. These are Putin's price hikes!
Has
Donna Brazile Gone Cuckoo? We all get that political strategists like to cheerlead for their party. Some
might even say that it's their job. I, however, think that a good strategist is willing to see and speak the
truth. If their party is failing, they aren't doing anyone any favors by pretending things are going well. Which
brings me to Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who appeared on ABC's This Week on Sunday and gave the most laughable
assessment of the upcoming midterms I've seen. According to Brazile, the GOP is "essentially running on fumes" from
allegations of voter fraud in 2020, while Democrats "are running on the economy that's roaring back" and "fighting
inflation." "All we have to do is wait over the next 37 days as 11 or 12 states hold their primaries," Brazile
claimed. "You have big primaries in Ohio and North Carolina, Pennsylvania where the former president has already tipped
the scales and supported one candidate over another." "The Republicans are essentially running on fumes," Brazile continued.
Hey
FBI, We're Running Low on Those White Domestic Terrorists You Keep Warning Us About. [Scroll down] Here's
the thing though: if you look around lately at the real threats to public safety, none of the suspects fit the "right-wing
nutjob extremist" profile. Take the guy who is now in custody for this week's Brooklyn subway shooting. Frank
James is a black man who, as Victoria reported, wants to kill "all the whiteys." Victoria wrote that this fine upstanding
citizen was on the FBI's radar, but they were probably too busy looking out for dudes in MAGA hats to keep an eye on
him. The suspects arrested for recent shootings in Sacramento and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, are messing up the feds' efforts
to portray all white Republicans as Timothy McVeigh. Grainy video footage of the suspect being sought for a shooting in
Dallas isn't helping the narrative either.
Fact check: Photo
of KKK billboard from 1970s, not taken recently in North Carolina. An outdated photo circulating on social
media has led some to believe former President Donald Trump recently held a rally in a North Carolina county that has a
billboard promoting the Ku Klux Klan. The image, shared thousands of times on Twitter, shows a red billboard that
reads, "Help fight communism and intergration (sic). Join & support United Klans of America Inc." A banner along
the bottom of the sign announces that "the KKKK welcomes you to Smithfield." [...] The billboard shown in the photo was
located in Johnston County, but it was taken down in 1977. It has no relation to the April 9 Trump rally in Selma.
Transgender
Activists Use Unreliable Surveys To Emotionally Blackmail America. When discussing transgender issues,
legislation, and other controversies, it is common to see the statistic that 40 percent of transgender people have considered
or attempted suicide. Where does this number come from, and how reliable is it in determining the moral and ethical
consequences of transgender-related policies? While appearing on "The View," Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg
was asked by Ana Navarro if he agreed with Chasten Buttigieg that the passage of the artificially controversial Florida bill
HB 1557, Parental Rights in Education, would "kill kids." Without hesitation, he agreed with the assertion.
With
CPI now hitting 8.5%, Jen Psaki's bid to blame Putin gets old fast. A stopped clock is right twice a day, and
sure enough, that brings us to White House spokesweasel Jen Psaki. The latter spoke the truth for once, at least on the
words "extraordinarily elevated," now that the consumer price index (CPI) has been released, showing a higher-than-forecast
8.5% rise, and sure enough, for once she was right.
There
are some things you can question and some things you can't. In today's America, there are some things one can
question... and some things one cannot. You can question the existence of God. [...] You can question your own
gender, but you can't question the LGBTQ agenda in any way, shape or form — for any reason. Nor can
you question the process or results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, in any way, whether on a national, state, or
local level. If you do, you will promptly be cancelled, disappeared, or otherized. Seriously questioning how
COVID-19 was loosed upon the globe is also strictly verboten. As is asking questions about the Biden family's
ties to — and relations with — China or Ukraine. In fact, you can't ask a pertinent question of
Biden at all.
Border
Chief Mayorkas: Equity Is U.S. 'Core Founding Principle'. Joe Biden's pro-migration border chief says the
"core founding principle" of the United States is "equity," and that he is building an immigration system built on "equity."
"It is all about achieving equity, which is really the core founding principle of our country," Alejandro Mayorkas declared at a
meeting hosted by Al Sharpton's National Action Network. "We, as a Department of Homeland Security [DHS], are your Department
of Homeland Security as much as anyone else's and we need to live that in the equity that we demonstrate," he told the mostly
black audience.
Understanding
the Progressive Mind. Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation. If you print more
money than you have real assets like gold to back it up, you devalue your currency and make everything cost more. [...] The
Biden reactionaries denied their responsibility for the costly and dangerous inflation their policies have created in the way
they normally cover up their assaults on the public — with two obvious lies. First by claiming that the
inflation was "transitory," and then by blaming it on Vladimir Putin — calling it "Putin's price hike." The
brazen character of these lies and the fact that Biden has kept repeating them in the face of devastating refutations
reflects the fact that the Democrats know full well what they are doing, which is stoking the fires of a volatile inflation
which is causing profound hardship to the very constituencies they pretend to care about — people on the lower
rungs of the economic ladder.
Democrats
Need to Be Destroyed. [Y]ou'd be an idiot to believe anything coming out of the mouths of Democrats these
days. No "good faith effort" is going to make them honest, they are lying frauds out to destroy everything great in
this country. They're a Terminator for American Exceptionalism. As such, they have no conscience, they can't be
reasoned with, they must be destroyed.
Political
Blackmail Empowers the American Left. Less than seven percent of American voters identify as being "very
liberal". Yet, thanks to the unbridled use of political blackmail, they have set the agenda since 2009. Additionally, by
virtue of these tactics they are also in de facto control not only of the Democrat party but the legacy media, the education
establishment, social media, and the universities. In 2021 they achieved a major milestone: absolute dominion over the
Office of President of the United States. Vladimir Lenin, one of the icons of the American Marxists, defined modern
political blackmail as follows: ["]Political blackmail is the threat of exposing, or the actual exposure, of true,
but more often invented, "stories" with the aim of causing an opponent political damage, of slandering him, of depriving him
of the possibility of engaging in political activity, or of making it difficult for him.["] Lenin neglected to note
that in the modern era successful political blackmail is wholly dependent on the blackmailer either controlling or being in
league with a compliant national media.
Biden
Administration Handicapped Domestic Energy Production on First Day in Office, Memos Reveal. Contrary to
President Biden's recent claims that his administration is pulling out all the stops to alleviate America's inflation woes,
since its early days it has fostered a policy environment that is hostile to domestic energy production, fueling price hikes
at the gas pump long before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to memos obtained by National Review. [...] He assured
Americans last week, "It's simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy
production. That's simply not true." But these memos, obtained by National Review, appear to show that the Biden
administration intentionally handicapped the domestic oil industry from day one as part of its mission to transition the U.S.
to a green economy. Now that gas prices and inflation are reaching record heights, Biden has pinned a large chunk of
responsibility on Russian president Vladimir Putin, whose attack on Ukraine has created tumult in energy markets, given that
much of the West, particularly Europe, is dependent on Russia for oil.
Biden
Promises Executive Action on Climate Change as Energy Costs Spike. President Joe Biden reassured donors Monday
that he would use his executive powers to act on climate change, even as energy prices are at record highs. "The
climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact," Biden said after taking the podium at a
Democratic National Committee Fundraiser in Washington, DC. Biden promised to take "aggressive" executive actions on
climate regulations even if the Supreme Court overruled him. He acknowledged that progress on the issue of climate
change was difficult to achieve in Congress, hinting that donors could help him pressure lawmakers.
The Editor says...
There is no climate crisis. The weather is not an existential threat.
Psaki
says Russia 'hacked' 2016 election during briefing on combating disinformation. White House press secretary Jen
Psaki said the Russian government "hacked our election here" in the United States in 2016 in remarks during a briefing about
combating disinformation. When Psaki was asked on Thursday [3/10/2022] what is being done to reduce the spread of
falsehoods in the U.S. about Russian leader Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, she said that "the best antidote to
misinformation is the truth." During the same conversation, she accused Russia of hacking the 2016 election despite a
lack of evidence from U.S. officials indicating actions from the Kremlin changed vote tallies.
Biden's
America: The inmates are running the asylum. How does one sanely describe what has happened to the United
States since Joe Biden was inaugurated? The nation has been effectively ruined by the policies of Biden's band of
incompetents; every Cabinet member is a disaster, promoted for his previous record of failure. Not one of them is
qualified for the jobs they've been given. They were each chosen for precisely the wrong reason: their race, sex,
or leftist/green activism. [...] Consider Cabinet members Jake Sullivan, Ned Pryce, Janet Yellen, and Anthony Blinken.
Each of them has a record of incompetence and failure, even criminality. Sullivan was party to the fabrication of the
Russia hoax. Yellen, formerly of the Fed, now claims that the American people are economically in "good shape."
Biden and Pelosi both hilariously claim that government spending is not causing the worst inflation in forty years.
Pelosi even said it is "reducing our debt." These are very stupid people. They lie as they breathe.
The
diminishing returns of the Democrats' lies. Forced into a state of panic by a series of cataclysmic polls, the
Democratic Party has entered a new phase in its attempt to turn around its waning fortunes: lying directly —
and unashamedly — to your face. [...] About what? About everything, that's what. They're lying about
inflation — which first wasn't going to happen at all, which then wasn't going to happen for very long, and which
is now being blamed on a Russian invasion of Ukraine that started a year after prices started to rise. They're
lying about their agenda — which began as a New Deal-sized transformation of America, which was then transmuted
into an "infrastructure" package that for a brief moment was sold as a $0-in-cost unicorn, and which has finally and
ridiculously been recast as a means of fighting the inflation that, as of this week, the White House is calling "Putin's
price hike." They're lying about gas prices, for which Joe Biden is or isn't responsible depending on the day you ask
them, and which have inspired the most incoherent set of policy answers in recent memory. They're lying about
Afghanistan — which was definitely not going to be a catastrophe, until it was a catastrophe, at which point a
catastrophe had been the plan all along.
Biden
blames PUTIN for 7.9% inflation — the highest in 40 years. President Joe Biden raised eyebrows after
blaming soaring US inflation on Vladimir Putin, after the consumer price index hit another 40-year high of 7.9 percent in
February. Although the inflation data released on Thursday does not capture the full impact of Russia's invasion of
Ukraine, which occurred just days before the end of February, Biden in a statement chose to blame 'Putin's price hike.'
'A large contributor to inflation this month was an increase in gas and energy prices as markets reacted to Putin's
aggressive actions,' said Biden.
This
Invasion Is Brought to You by ... Western Environmentalists. For more than 40 years, the environmentalist
movement has been warning that global warming is the result of mankind's burning of fossil fuels and poses an "existential
threat" to human and other biological life. This is one of the many grandiose lies the Left uses to reshape, if not
destroy, Western civilization. Other grandiose lies used to achieve that result include America being systemically
racist; that violent crime is the result of racism and poverty; men give birth; sex and gender are "nonbinary"; and that
former President Donald Trump was a Russian asset. It should now be obvious that the "Greens," the environmentalist
movement — not global warming — poses an existential threat to humanity.
Psaki
lists 9 talking points to defend gas prices, calls for a focus on 'facts' and oh boy, does internet deliver.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki is desperately throwing out propaganda on Twitter, spewing "facts" that blame high gas
prices on Russia instead of President Joe Biden and then lecturing Americans on the specifics of energy production and
security. "The reason why the price of gas is going up is not because of steps the president has taken, they are
because Putin is invading Ukraine," she said in a White House press briefing on Friday [3/4/2022]. "When it comes to
U.S. energy production — and how we achieve energy security — it's important to look at the
facts. So here are 9 specifics," Psaki tweeted as she revved up for a leftist lesson on energy.
UN report: Climate
change already so severe humans nearing adaptation limits. A comprehensive new United Nations-sponsored
assessment of climate change finds that global warming is reshaping the world more rapidly and severely than was known
several years ago. The report finds that climate change is affecting every person's physical and mental health, and
classifies nearly half of the global population as being "highly vulnerable" to climate impacts.
The Editor says...
For all practical purposes, there is no global warming. There is no climate crisis, and although the climate is constantly changing,
the changes are happening so gradually that you'll never notice — unless you watch too much television. Nobody is having
to consciously adapt to a rapidly-changing climate. The United Nations routinely lies about global warming, among other things,
because it is engaged in a never-ending quest for increased political power.
Mother,
32, who became face of Chicago Teachers Union's push to keep schools closed drank herself to death, medical examiner
reveals. A Chicago mother who the teachers' union claimed died when a COVID-positive student was sent home to
quarantine as they rallied for more COVID protocols actually died of alcoholism, it emerged on Monday [3/7/2022].
Denisha Henry, the 32-year-old mother of an eighth-grade student at Jensen Elementary Scholastic Academy in the East Garfield
Park district of Chicago, died on September 24. The day before, Shenitha Curry, 44, had died of pneumonia from COVID,
with diabetes and hypertension as contributing factors. She was not vaccinated. Soon after, the Chicago Teachers'
Union claimed at a rally that both mothers caught COVID from a child at the school, where 11 out of 17 classrooms were in quarantine.
Biden
blames Jan. 6 for Putin's invasion and other whoppers of the Ukraine war. [Scroll down] We've seen plenty
of bad takes on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but this one from the ostensible leader of the free world might be the most
preposterous. The Russian strongman, who started grabbing Ukrainian territory in 2014, decided to attack again because
of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot? Biden is also lying: Five cops weren't killed by crowds that day — none
was. One officer died of natural causes the next day, and four killed themselves in the weeks and months after.
It's
Time To Kill This Big Fat Biden Lie Once And For All. If Google, Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the Big
Tech bullies insist on stopping "misinformation," why aren't they censoring President Joe Biden for his repeated flagrant lie
about the economy? You know, the one where he claims we were in a state of crisis when he came into office, from which
he and his $2 trillion "American Rescue Plan" saved us. Biden says it over and over again. Here's a sampling over
the past year:
• "We've turned the tide on a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. And families are beginning to be able to breathe just a little bit easier."
• "Look, when we came to office, we knew we were facing a once-in-a-century pandemic and a once-in-a-generation economic crisis."
• "When I was sworn in as president, the nation was struggling to pull out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression."
In his State of the Union, Biden claimed that his "American Rescue Plan" was one of the "few pieces of legislation" to have
"done more at a critical moment in our history to lift us out of a crisis." This is a lie.
The
Biden Inflation Octopus. The Democrats will suffer historic losses in the November midterms. [...] The culprit
for the political wipeout will be out-of-control inflation — and for several reasons. First, the Biden Administration
is in such denial of inflation that it sounds to Americans simply callous and indifferent to the misery it has unleashed.
Biden officials have scoffed at price spikes as "transitory." Or they have preposterously claimed spiraling costs are a
concern only to the elite. They blame the Ukraine crisis. Or they fault the out-of-office bogeyman, former
President Donald Trump. The administration assures us that consumer prices are only rising at an annualized rate
of 7.5% — as if the steepest increase in 40 years actually is not all that bad. Yet the middle class knows that
inflation is far worse when it comes to the stuff of life: buying a house, car, gas, meat, or lumber.
Jen
Psaki's Preview of What to Expect at Biden's SOTU Shows How Delusional This Administration Is. White House
Press Secretary Jen Psaki made an appearance on ABC's "This Week," [2/27/2022] where she offered a preview of what to expect
from President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, to be delivered this Tuesday. [Tweet] To close out her
segment, host George Stephanopoulos brought up a stark reality that Biden is facing right now. "Finally, the president
is approaching his State of the Union in a pretty difficult political position right now, 37 percent approval rating,
Democrats trailing badly in the midterm polling. A majority in our recent poll out this morning even question the
president's mental capacity," Stephanopoulos mentioned, highlighting the results of a new ABC News-Washington Post poll,
which I also covered earlier. "How is he going to turn that around on Tuesday night? And how much has his State
of the Union been changed by this war in Ukraine?" Stephanopoulos asked. Psaki seemed to have only heard the second
part of the question. She not only didn't respond to how Biden is "going to turn that around," she didn't acknowledge
the numbers Stephanopoulos had just brought up.
The
State of Joe Biden's Union Is Domestic and Worldwide Chaos. This coming Tuesday [3/1/2022], His Fraudulency Joe
Biden will make his State of the Union address, and do so after he has spent the last year plunging both America and the
world into chaos. How both he and the Misinformation Media will try to gaslight us into believing differently is now
painfully obvious. We're going to hear a lot about jobs created (when they were not) and how many people have been
vaccinated (but not the fact that more died under Biden than under Trump). We'll be told it's only a coincidence that the
CDC suddenly realized The Science would allow us to unmask just days before this speech. We'll be told the
adults are back in charge. We'll be told Biden is a True Statesman — and so on and so forth, and spin
and lie and lie and spin.
Democrats
Roll out a Desperate Strategy to Deflect Blame for Their Failures. Unless the goal is to receive backslaps from
a sycophantic mainstream media, it's not a good time to be a Democrat. Things have collapsed in ways that didn't seem
possible over the last six months. Sure, it was expected that the party in power would see some regression, but at this
level? Inflation continues to be a top concern among Americans, with January's number clocking in at another
multi-decade high. People are seeing their buying power eroded, and with gas prices set to explode further over the
next year, there is no relief in sight. Meanwhile, Russia is on the verge of starting a major war in Europe,
Afghanistan is now a terror state, the border is in shambles, and COVID-19 has killed more people under Joe Biden, with
vaccines available, than under the previous president. Yeah, things are bad, and when things are bad, desperation sets
in among the party in power. That's the theme of the latest strategy by Democrats to try to deflect blame for their failures.
Psaki
says GOP's blockage of Fed nominees [is] exacerbating inflation. The White House on Wednesday blamed Republican
senators for exacerbating inflation, arguing that blocking President Biden's nominees to the Federal Reserve Board has
handicapped efforts to curb rising prices. Mr. Biden thinks that Republicans are "AWOL" in the inflation fight
because they put the brakes on a key Fed nominee, said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. "Everyone understands we
need a full Federal Reserve board, the first one in nearly a decade to tackle inflation and bring prices down for American
families," she said.
Seattle's
Soda Tax Goes Horribly Wrong. Once again Seattle lawmakers have shown their pre-existing vulnerability to
social contagion with predictably embarrassing results. Like nearly every cockamamie scheme cooked up by their fellow
travelers on the West Coast, Messed Coast, almost all have backfired spectacularly. And each promulgator has a deadly
comorbidity — Leftism. Plastic bag bans. Replacing those plastic bags with their thicker plastic
bags. Gun "control." Ammo "control." Nuclear-free zones. Global warming. Global cooling.
Climate change. Net-zero. Preschool teachers sacrifice children to Satan. Boys have babies. Let's tax
weed. Let's bail out weed shops. Seattle's CHAZ CHOP was a Summer of Love — with a body count.
Riots are mostly peaceful. Give needles and crack pipes to addicts. Allow people to walk the Seattle streets with
a "bump" or two of heroin and fentanyl for "harm reduction." Police are horrible people. Criminals are not
horrible people. Their faux do-goodism results in hot-and-cold-running bodies on the sidewalks of Seattle.
If
DC Fears Trump, He Deserves Four More Years. I know we are living in communist cuckoo land now, where "The
Science" is always right, Dementia Joe is always lucid, printing money creates prosperity, and men can break women's records
in sports, but at what point do the Deep State despots crafting one fanciful lie after the next finally step back and say,
"Nah, nobody will ever believe this nonsense"? The Russian collusion hoax is now understood by everyone but the most
brainwashed (or those invested in the lies because they were doing the brainwashing) to have been an elaborate conspiracy
involving Hillary Clinton's political campaign, Barack Obama's FBI and CIA, and a propagandistic press laundering their
disinformation as the gospel truth. Four years of Establishment Republicans (in the majority in the House until 2018
and in the Senate until 2020) giving Democrats carte blanche to legitimize conspiracy theories in Congress with
outrageous claims the Republican president was a Russian spy only opened up the eyes of Republican voters to how insidiously
the Uniparty in D.C. operates.
Stacey
Abrams and Voter Suppression. Most conservatives are well aware of the Democrat's Alinsky tactic of accusing
Republicans of whatever criminal, immoral, or unethical activities they themselves are engaged in. When Joe Biden was
caught pressuring Ukraine to fire the state prosecutor who threatened to expose the Biden family protection racket, they
impeached Trump for asking about it, accusing Trump of blackmail. After declaring for four years that Trump was an
"illegitimate president" due to Russia collusion lies that she herself concocted, Hillary Clinton exhorted Joe Biden not to
concede the 2020 election "under any circumstances'. Then when Trump challenged the manifestly rigged results in four
battleground states, the Democrats accused Trump of undermining democracy. To this day, the Democrats January 6th
Committee is busy trampling the civil rights of citizens who protested the election results after the Democrats themselves
encouraged, justified, and funded many months of riots, arson, looting, and murder under the guise of legitimate
protest. The instances of hypocritical Democrat's use of this cynical tactic have become all too obvious.
'Vegan'
Eric Adams won't say if he eats fish, animal products. Mayor Eric Adams, who has previously claimed to be
vegan, bizarrely refused to say on Monday if he eats fish — or if he consumes any other animal products.
Hizzoner brought up his own eating habits at a press conference in Brooklyn following multiple reports he's been spotted out
dining on fish at various restaurants — despite repeatedly insisting he follows a "plant-based" diet. "Does
Eric eat fish? Does he eat a hamburger? Does he do this? Does he do that? You know, I mean, it's
just, listen, here's my message: The more plant-based meals you have, the healthier you are going to be," the mayor
said, unprompted.
The
Truth About Biden's Fake War With Russia. Biden tried to be FDR and failed at that. Now he's settling for
playing a senile elderly JFK. If you watch 5 minutes of CNN or any cable news network, you might believe that we're on
the verge of war with Russia. That's what the same people who claimed that President Trump was working for Putin want
you to believe. Their new war with Russia is as real as Russiagate. Democrats want to fight Russia to the last
Republican. They aren't about to fight a real war. Their fake wars with Russia are an attack on
Republicans. Russiagate came after Democrats spent eight years giving Putin everything he wanted as Hillary toted a
Reset Button from a swimming pool and Psaki posed in a sickle and hammer hat. And that was just what we knew about.
Schumer
falsely claims Supreme Court 'was all White men' until 1981, ignoring Thurgood Marshall. Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer falsely claimed Thursday [2/3/2022] that the Supreme Court was made up of "all White men" until 1981, skipping
over the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was appointed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967. "The president's pledge to name
a Black woman to the Supreme Court is historic," Schumer said during floor remarks about President Biden's forthcoming
Supreme Court nomination.
There
is no such thing as a pregnant man. Science is under attack. Human biology, specifically, is under
attack. The attackers are those who falsely claim that men can have babies. It is a lie — a fiction
that must be challenged every time it is mentioned. No matter how ardently leftists try to propagandize such things,
men have never had babies. They cannot have babies. They will not ever be able to carry children. Any claim
to the contrary is nothing more than a Frankenstein-esque, scientifically altered concoction. The truth demands that
all such radical, toxic, left-wing indoctrination be rejected and repudiated by whatever means are necessary. Such
propaganda occurred late last week when it was revealed that Apple's latest software update, iOS 15.4, included a "pregnant
man" emoji. Obviously, the powers that be at Apple are trying to normalize such lunacy in the hope that there are
enough stupid people willing to be bullied into accepting it. In turn, this acceptance would (someday) lead to a
cultural norm that men can indeed become pregnant — a scientific impossibility.
White
House Port Manipulation Hiding Economic and Supply Chain Issues. We finally have full data to review, and what
we see is very disturbing. Not only was the White House supply chain effort a fraud, but they also manipulated the port
system to give a false impression of the U.S. economy. [...] The value of imported goods is a deduction to the U.S. GDP.
If the biggest port in the U.S. holds back their import cargo data, the resulting information cannot be deducted from the
GDP. Missing data gives an artificial outlook for the GDP. Put another way, the 4th quarter GDP is inflated by the missing
deduction. From the position of the Biden administration, there is a perverse economic motive to keep all those import
cargo ships from arriving. Would the Port of Los Angeles intentionally hold back data in order to help the White House
give a false and more optimistic impression of the U.S. economy? At first blush it might seem a stretch, but
then — as if on cue — a few hours after the BEA made the public release, suddenly the Port of Los
Angeles released their December data. In politics timing is never coincidental.
Department
of Agriculture issues comical food price inflation report and forecast. Inflation is the political dynamite
that explodes political support for an American president. People directly experience their standard of living
declining every time they buy food and fill up their gas tanks. When people have to minimize or eliminate beef and
other preferred foods from their diet, they experience creeping impoverishment and worry what lies ahead. [...] The average
American who can no longer afford hamburgers for the kids, or who finds that those boxes of cornflakes last half as long as
they used to, is not fooled. People detest a decline in their standard of living. It requires frequent
sacrifices. And after experiencing rises in incomes and rising consumption under Trump, they know who to blame.
No report from the USDA is going to change their minds.
The
Big Lie 2024: A Peek Inside the Ruling Elite's Playbook to Kneecap Trump, Purge Military, and Neutralize MAGA.
The American regime is terrified. They moved heaven and earth to derail Trump's term in office and turn him out after
four years. Now the ruling class faces the very real prospect that, if the 2024 election is remotely fair, he will be
swept back into the White House, more powerful than ever before. That is, if the 2024 election is fair.
America's governing class and its media apparatchiks have repeatedly labeled Trump's complaints about the 2020 election "the
Big Lie." But there is a Bigger Lie afoot, one with a much greater bearing on the future. The Bigger Lie is this:
That the January 6 Capitol incident was an "attempted coup," and that this coup was launched by a wider pro-Trump
"anti-democracy" movement (as opposed to the anti-Trump, anti-democracy movement known as the FBI). This movement, the
Bigger Lies goes, is a "danger to our democracy" and must be hunted down to destruction. In the name of this Bigger
Lie, America's governing class of academics, security staters, elected lawmakers, and media propagandists are preparing to
sweep away what remains of America's democratic process. Their goal: To render the 2024 election null, with a
preordained outcome that poses no danger to the ruling elite's wishes. And the planning for this revolution is
happening right out in public.
Biden
Commerce Secretary Claims Joe's 'Leadership' Has Led to 'Greatest Resurgence in an Economy' Ever. If you think
the economy is in terrible shape, energy prices are through the ceiling, the supply chain crisis continues in some areas or
for some products, and millions of workers walked away from their jobs in 2021, it's not your fault, America. And it's
not Joe Biden's fault, either. The real culprit? COVID-19. That's right, gang — according
to Biden Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who suggests the perception that the economy is struggling and the reason
why people aren't feeling this "very strong" economy right now is all because of the pandemic, as reported by The Right Scoop.
When Will
People Finally See the Obvious? Consider the number of things the Left has been willing to lie to the American
people about in recent years. The short list includes: COVID, suppressing its origins and effective means of
treatment; January 6, 2021, touted as worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined and jailing Capitol trespassers for over a
year without trial dates; Hunter Biden's laptop, immediately and roundly dismissed as "Russian disinformation"; destructive
and deadly riots blithely labeled "mostly peaceful protests"; and parents at school board meetings protesting critical race
theory viciously defamed and treated as would-be "domestic terrorists." But between all of these (and so many more)
major news stories, Americans en masse have begun to wake up and search for the truth outside what's being spoon-fed
(and in some cases shovel-fed) to them by the corporate left-wing media. [...] So why has this leap of faithlessness not
jumped over to the obvious facts of the 2020 election? Those currently in power have a clear track record of covering
up the truth on major news stories, but we're somehow supposed to believe what they say about the 2020 election?
Janet
Yellen Calls Biden's Economic Record 'A Remarkable Success'. As the Biden presidency enters its second year,
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called the Commander-in-Chief's economic policy a "remarkable success." During an
interview with CNBC, Yellen lauded decreases in the unemployment rate while expressing hope for lower inflation. "A
year ago, if you go back to the challenges that we were facing, and the Federal Reserve was facing, unemployment was
extremely high. We were all worried that we would be facing a situation like we had after 2008, when it took almost a
decade to get back to full employment," Yellen said. "I think it has to be viewed as a remarkable success that the
unemployment has fallen the most in a year in American history."
Nancy
Pelosi Calls House Dem's the 'Greatest Collection of Intellect and Integrity. Nancy Pelosi isn't known for her
intellect or honesty, but lately she has made even more idiotic statements than usual. Not only has she declared Joe
Biden as one of the greatest presidents and thinks he's doing a fantastic job, she also believes that house Democrats are the
greatest collection of intellect and integrity. [...] Pelosi has made over $100 mil engaging in insider trading and selling
America's secrets to whoever will foot the bill. She has robbed Americans of tax dollars by funneling billions to her
own district, only for that money to be dispersed to her allies. Democrats have as much integrity as the criminal who
gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar and then plays the victim. [Video clip]
White
House Appears To Cut Out Remarks From Fox News Reporter In Official Transcript Of Press Briefing. The White
House appeared to cut out remarks made by a reporter during Friday's press briefing from the administration's official
transcript of the event. The exchange in question happened between Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy and
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Doocy asked Psaki about remarks that Biden made where he compared opponents of
his voting rights agenda to segregationists.
Ted
Lieu Can't Fly to DC Due to 'Ongoing Health Emergency' But Just Vacationed in Bermuda and Hawaii, Attended NFL
Game. Hypocrisy is something we expect from progressive Democrats, but their hypocrisy has been more fully on
display during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic — as well as their insistence on demanding that we all follow
unscientific and inconsistent "public health" regulations. So it is with Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Lyin), who recently took
a cruise to Bermuda with his entire family — including his elderly parents — and then vacationed in
Hawaii, despite the deepening "crisis" with the Omicron variant, and who happily posed for a photograph with his wife and
brother at an NFL game (maskless, despite the fact that no one was eating or drinking at the time the photo was taken).
Yet this week he claimed he was unable to make it to Washington DC to do the job his constituents elected him to do because
of the "ongoing health emergency."
'Preposterous'
doesn't cut it anymore. I rarely used the word "preposterous" until about two years ago. It was so
powerful a word that it was rarely needed...so I saved it for those special occasions. Now, however, I find myself
using it many times a day. [...] In the manner of "stagflation," which was widely thought to be impossible until Jimmy Carter
proved us all wrong, we now have people skeptical and cynical about demonstrably factual things while being utterly gullible
with regard to what the Democrat-Media Complex throws at them: Trump is a Russian plant. The Hunter Biden laptop
kerfuffle was a Russian disinformation campaign. China is our friend. The coronavirus couldn't have come from the
Wuhan lab. Man-caused global warming will lead to the planet's destruction in 10 [to] 12 years. Russia interfered
in the 2016 election, throwing it to Trump, but the 2020 election was the cleanest ever! Any assertions otherwise are
part of The Big Lie. January 6 was Trump's fault and was worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor! It was an all-out
insurrection! Anyone who says otherwise is guilty of... The Big Lie, um, Part II. But the months-long BLM and
Antifa-led riots in many American cities were "mostly peaceful!" Trump called neo-Nazis "fine people"! Rittenhouse is
a crazed murderer! Sadly, an SUV ran over some people at a Christmas parade in Waukesha. Our leaders and experts
had to impose lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, etc., to keep us all safe! All we need is two weeks to
flatten the curve! I mean two, maybe three years. Just get the jab, and you'll be fine. As long as you get
the next jab.
Saul
Alinsky 101: So-called insurrection is clear cover for political persecution. In his 1971 work, Rules for
Radicals, Saul Alinsky wrote, "All issues must be polarized ... One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the
angels are on one side and all the devils on the other." By making opponents devils, followers of radical manipulators need
not even consider an issue's merits. They follow party dogma to avoid empowering the evil ones. Information
control is essential to convince a large proportion of the public that a lie is true. Legacy and social media partner
with Democrats by lying to and hiding the truth from their audiences. A scan regarding any issue important to Democrats
reveals complete lockstep representation in legacy outlets and on social-media platforms. Without media partners, the
Biden regime could not have achieved power; the truth stands in the way of the Biden agenda.
Jan. 6: Seven Democrat Lies.
It was hardly a surprise that the Democrats shamelessly exploited the first anniversary of last January's Capitol riot to
resuscitate their stalled political agenda. Nor was it difficult to predict that various news outlets would attempt to
bolster their sagging ratings with sensationalized coverage of the mayhem that occurred that afternoon. Nonetheless,
the mendacity that permeated the speeches of the politicians and the coverage of the media was truly startling even by
Beltway standards. It is impossible to debunk every lie that was told yesterday in a single article, but here are the
most egregious falsehoods: Lie # 1: The events of Jan. 6, 2021, constituted an armed insurrection.
President Joe Biden repeated this nonsense shortly after 9 a.m. yesterday during his remarks about the riot: "This wasn't
a group of tourists. This was an armed insurrection." [...] Lie # 2: President Donald Trump purposely incited
the alleged insurrection. Biden also leveled this preposterous charge at his predecessor during his Thursday morning remarks,
saying the former president had "rallied the mob to attack."
Progressives
Finally Realize That Covid Is Not a 'Moral Failing'. Earlier this week, CNN's Chris Cillizza lamented that,
throughout the pandemic, "Societally we unknowingly turned having Covid into some sort of judgment on your character." To
remedy this, Cillizza suggested, "We need to recognize that getting Covid isn't a moral failing! It's a super
infectious disease that you can protect against, sure, but can't guarantee you won't get it." "Unknowingly"? "We
need to recognize"? "Societally"? Does Chris Cillizza live in a sensory-deprivation tank? There has been
nothing "unknowing" about the implication that catching Covid is evidence of a "moral failing." It has been the core of
the progressive response to the disease. We see it every time that someone who disagrees with the maximalist approach
to lockdowns, restrictions, or mandates is labeled a "Covidiot." We see it every time the governor of Florida is
described stupidly as "DeathSantis," or the governor of Texas is accused of belonging to a "death cult," or any politician or
writer with a different risk calculus than Anthony Fauci is charged with wanting "to kill grandma."
The
Big Lie and the Elastic Truth: How to Invent a Coup. Essentially, words are expected to mean whatever
Democrats and their media enablers want them to mean. This has been most evident in the war against Donald Trump since
the 2020 election, but it was certainly in play earlier. For example, saying that Donald Trump is a "racist" meant he
supports border security. Saying Donald Trump is a Russian "colluder" meant that Hillary Clinton had paid a British spy
to manufacture a phony dossier implicating Trump. But the campaign to destroy Trump really lifted into the stratosphere
after the Nov. 3 election. When they called his claim that the election was stolen "the Big Lie," what they meant was
they don't agree with him. When they said he made his claims "without evidence," they meant "without evidence that they
agree with" or that they would even look at. Then — after the Jan. 6 House select committee voted to hold
Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress — they pivoted and announced that the Big Lie was now "the Big Coup."
Get
Yer New Year Prophecy Here! As we all know, Heaven on Earth never shows up as promised. Not after the
French Revolution, not after the Bolshevik Revolution, not after FDR, or LBJ, or Obama the Lightbringer. So it's all
the fault of the white oppressors and the racist-sexist-homophobes. Do you see the point? Our liberal and lefty
friends cannot believe — and I mean this in the sense of cannot even conceive — that their Sacred
Beliefs are, shall we say, primitive throwbacks to the good old days of tribal chiefs and shamans. And when the world
isn't working out according to their Sacred Narrative it must be the world's fault, not theirs.
What
You Must Believe as an American in 2021. As far as I can tell, this is what we are now supposed to believe as
Americans, in this first year of the Glorious Deep State's Blessed and Eternal Reign: Our country is so
irredeemably racist that people of all races keep sneaking into the United States at breakneck speeds. Our military is
so well prepared for future threats from China and Russia that it can dedicate its resources to spreading transgenderism
through its ranks, pontificating about "white rage" at book clubs, firing servicemembers for not "vaxxing up," and
challenging "climate change" to bouts of fisticuffs. Our border is so secure that we have time to worry about
Ukraine's. China is so worrisome a global adversary that our political and business "elites" continue to transfer
American wealth and manufacturing capabilities to its shores. Russia is so much of a geopolitical foe that our
government's weather warriors have chosen to kill America's domestic energy production and increase Russia's leverage over
the world's supply of oil and natural gas.
Orwell was Right:
Control the Language, Control the World. Of all the elements of today's "New Normal," the most ominous is the "reform" that effectively changed the
meanings of previously accepted words or terms. The following glossary illustrates how changes to our vocabulary played a central role in making the world
a more dangerous and frightening place.
New Normal — "Normal" is something that has long been the norm and is accepted as the norm. The key point is that the "old" normal
no longer applies. This change in thinking provided authority figures the license to enact reforms that would not have been widely accepted in the past. [...]
Vaccine — Previously a vaccine was an injection that provided "immunity" or prevented diseases, as well as the spread of diseases.
Today, at least as it involves the COVID "vaccines," vaccines simply (and allegedly) reduce the probability someone will develop a severe case of this disease
or die from this disease.
Safe — An activity that is not dangerous or does not cause harm. According to public health officials and almost all doctors, COVID
vaccines are "safe and effective." According to VAERS, approximately one million Americans believe they have suffered adverse medical reactions to COVID vaccines,
with approximately 20,000 deaths possibly caused by the vaccines. Several studies have concluded that VAERS captures only a small fraction of such adverse events.
Effective — Certainly today "effective" does not mean COVID vaccines prevent infection or virus spread. In many heavily vaccinated countries,
the vaccinated comprise a greater percentage of new COVID cases than the unvaccinated.
Harm — Something that injures, perhaps even kills, or causes someone pain or discomfort. The key change here is that "harm"
can now be caused by speech.
Biden
and Democrats resort to blaming business greed for inflation. Democrats are increasingly blaming producers of
goods for high prices as rising inflation drags down President Joe Biden's approval ratings and threatens the party's
prospects. For most of this year, the messaging from the Left has been that high inflation, rather than being
attributable to government spending or monetary policy, is merely a temporary phenomenon that will start decreasing.
That notion has not turned out to be correct, and inflation clocked in at a 39-year high this month. Now, some
Democrats are pointing their fingers at big business and corporate greed.
Did
You Catch Why the White House Thinks Meat Prices Are Up? Speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday,
Press Secretary Jen Psaki diverted blame for an exponential increase in meat prices from President Joe Biden's polices to
"corporate greed." "I think that the President thinks the way people across the country, American families, digest
inflation is by price increases. And if you look at industry to industry, it's a little different," Psaki said.
"So, for example, the President, the Secretary of Agriculture have both spoken to what we've seen as the greed of meat
conglomerates. That is an area, one where people go to the grocery store and they're trying to buy a pound of meat, two
pounds of meat, 10 pounds of meat, it is the prices are higher." "That is, in his view and the view of our Secretary of
Agriculture, because of, you could call it corporate greed," she continued.
The
White House's Desperation on the Economy Devolves Into Complete Absurdity. Objectively, the news on the economy
over the last few weeks has not been encouraging. November's jobs report showed a miss of over 50%. Then yesterday's
inflation numbers dropped like a thermonuclear weapon on the White House's narrative. After a week of colluding with
the media and waging a PR war to try to convince people the economy is actually great, inflation was revealed to be 6.8%, the
highest in 39 years. Naturally, the polling has shown significant disapproval with the situation, whether we are
talking about Joe Biden personally or the right-track/wrong-track numbers. Yet, instead of resetting their messaging,
the White House has instead decided who's really at fault here: You. Yes, according to Jen Psaki, your concerns
over the current economic malaise are not based in reality, but are, in fact, a condition of psychosis due to COVID-19.
Democrats
don't care about inflation, the poor, the middle class, women, or science. They care about raw power. As
their poll numbers drop and inflation becomes more of an issue, Democrats are pretending they care and suddenly have a
solution. They want more immigrants to fill jobs at lower wages in the "informal economy." Of course, Democrats
have always wanted more immigrants, whatever the inflation rate is, so this is just a new, worthless talking point. If
more immigrants solved the inflation problem, wouldn't Biden's open borders and the sanctuary cities and states not enforcing
the laws have solved the problem?
Chicago
Mayor blatantly lies about crime in her city. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot held a press conference yesterday in
the Windy City. Setting the stage for the current topic of discussion, she announced that Chicago Police Officers
should expect to have some of their days off canceled in the coming days and weeks. One reporter asked her to comment
on the fact that the number of murders in Chicago is about to pass 800, a level not seen in a generation. And there are
still more than three weeks left to go in 2021. The Mayor's response left a lot of people rolling their eyes. After
initially admitting that the city was facing "challenging times," she went on to claim that the rates of all other crimes (presumably
besides murder) are "at 25-year lows." As CWB Chicago was quick to point out, that statement is indisputably not true.
The
Biden-Buttigieg Pitch: It's All Free! Many Americans are concerned about the Democrats' orgy of
spending, fearing particularly that pumping so much extra money into the economy will feed the inflation that has become the
public's greatest economic concern of the moment. So Biden came up with an argument that essentially said no one should
worry because it will all be free. "My Build Back Better agenda costs zero dollars," the president tweeted on Sept. 25.
White House chief of staff Ron Klain said, "The net cost of Build Back Better is zero." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added, "The dollar
amount, as the president said, is zero." It was all preposterous, of course. Two trillion dollars does not just appear
out of nowhere.
Do
store owners prefer to be looted by whites? According to some creative minds in media and academia, there's a
new politically correct term for looting. Those who believe in the magical power of linguistic reform have decided that
looting is a racist term. Therefore, if must be euphemistically transformed in order to be non-offensive to those who
smash storefront windows and doors, run through retail establishments, and steal everything in sight. Lorenzo Boyd, a
criminal justice professor at the University of New Haven, said: "Looting is a term that we typically use when people
of color or urban dwellers are doing something. We tend not to use that term for other people when they do the exact
same thing." [...] The City by the Bay has been the scene of several rapacious lootings, with businesses losses numbering in
six figures. Yet the best they can get from law enforcement is an argument over the racial connotation in the use of
words. When one police chief called it "looting," he was quickly chastised by some in the media and others in the
constabulary. Sergeant Christian Camarillo, a San Jose police spokesman, said it should not be called looting because
it's an organized robbery. I feel certain that those store owners felt relieved when they realized they had been robbed
rather than looted.
The
Biggest Liar in Congress. There's a lot of competition for the title of "the biggest liar in Congress," as you
might imagine, but there's really only one winner. It's not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, or any
other member of the Goon Squad — they are dumb and oftentimes lie, but their general stupidity tends to be the
driving force behind them. On the other hand, Adam Schiff knows what he's doing and does it deliberately, freely, and
without concern for anyone finding out the facts are to the contrary of what he's saying.
Colorado
to Drop The Term 'Sex Offender,' Says It's a 'Negative' Label. [Scroll down] The reasoning —
and I use that term very loosely — behind these changes to millennia of accepted language is that it's not humans
who are flawed and sometimes perverted or dangerous. It is the labels we put on those humans that drives them to do
wrong or drives them to feel bad or sad or depressed. If only we could offer them more understanding, more acceptance,
we could completely eliminate suicide, crime, and illegal behaviors that plague society. The only reason terrorists
want to kill people is because they are driven to extremes by people calling them mean things, or being mean about their
religion or ethnicity or traditions. So, Islam is the religion of peace. Wash, rinse, repeat. In the latest
clueless attempt to reform human nature, The Colorado Sex Offender Management Board has voted to replace the term "sex
offender" when referencing the criminals they deal with who have been convicted of sex offenses.
Knucklehead
Of The Week: Cori Bush Has A Vivid Imagination. This week's top knucklehead hails from the great State of
Missouri and is the most recent addition to that lovable group of clowns known as 'The Squad.' Representative Cori Bush
(D-MO) made a startling claim this week by asserting, "When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a
hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us. They never faced consequences." [...] Unsurprisingly,
this latest silliness from Rep. Bush came within the larger debate over the recently concluded Kyle Rittenhouse trial,
in which Mr. Rittenhouse was rightfully acquitted on all charges. On Monday, as the attorneys made their closing
arguments in the case, Bush made her outlandish claim on Twitter and she quickly caught flak from all directions: left,
right, and center. The reason for the backlash was clear: everyone knows Bush was lying.
White
House Now Blaming Unvaccinated Children for High Inflation. Somewhere in the upper northeast there must be an
economic school or think-tank where leftist graduate students are taught how to verbalize cognitive dissonance using the same
300 words and emojis in a sequential pattern. Two of the most visible alma maters' of this school are Transportation
Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and a fellow named Brian Deese, who is now the White House National Economic Council
director. In his latest exhibition of post-graduate cognitive dissonance, [...] the primary architect of the JoeBama
economic program, appears on NBC to proclaim that massive U.S. inflation is somehow connected to the fact that 5 to
11-year-old children are not yet vaccinated. Once the children are vaccinated, some unknown and difficult to explain
metamorphosis will take place amid the American workforce allowing the U.S. economy to stop inflation.
Why The Left Always
Projects. [Scroll down] Remember, it was Team Hillary, after the 2016 election, that rounded up
celebrities to cut commercials urging the electors not to honor their states' popular votes. Then we went to
the surrogate Jill Stein's lawsuits challenging voting machine counting. And finally, during the transition and Trump
presidency, Hillary bragged of the new maquis "Resistance" that spread her fake Steele-Clinton dossier throughout the State
Department, FBI, CIA, and Justice Department. There is a slight chance that John Durham may eventually work his way up
to this largely illegal effort — from Hillary's minions to those in her inner circle. As far as the charge
of Russian collusion itself, both the Left and Hillary, Inc. always knew that in comparison to their own Clinton and Obama
years (e.g., the red plastic reset button, the prohibition of offensive weapons sales to Ukraine, the anti-drilling agenda in
the United States, the snoring while Putin gobbled up Crimea and eastern Ukraine, and the "tell Vladimir to wait till after
the election" hot mic Obama moment), the Left had for years insidiously appeased Putin.
Absolutely INSANE levels
of lying, misinformation, and dishonesty from the Biden administration. [Thread reader] Since the corporate
media has no real interest in pointing it out, here's a list: Let's start with the lie that Biden wouldn't call for a
federal vaxx mandate[.] Then President Elect Biden said in December of 2020 "No — I don't think it should be
mandatory. I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory[.]" We all saw how that turned out[.] Going back to COVID
response, we're also being sold a load of garbage over Biden's vaccine mandate: To begin, while this mandate makes no
consideration for natural immunity, a recent CDC admission points how effective it actually is vs a vaccine: [Tweet]
Case in point, first we were told: "You're not going to — you're not going to get COVID if you have these
vaccinations." Now we're being told that people have to get vaccinated to protect the already-vaccinated. And yet,
while there's a new push to vaccinate 5-11 year old kids (including Big Bird), there's very little discussion on the
myocarditis risks. [Tweet] Then there was the massive whirlwind of lies about Ivermectin not being meant for human
consumption. Never mind that it received a nobel prize in 2015 for its applications in treating human disease.
Next, gain of function Fauci called Senator Paul a liar and said that they NIH did not fund dangerous gain-of-function
research at the Wuhan Lab: We now know that to be false. But that's not all of the good doctor's
dishonesty. Here's a reminder on how Fauci went back and forth on masks, changing his advice to fit the political
narrative of the moment. This is CLEARLY not about science or your health. It's about compliance. [Tweet]
Those
Who Claim Men Are Women Are Brazen Liars Devoid of Moral Integrity. On October 19 of this year, a truly
historic event took place. On that day Dr. Rachel Levine was sworn by Surgeon General Vivek Murthy as a four-star
admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. This is how the occasion was reported by the Huffington
Post: "Levine was appointed to full admiral on Tuesday while sworn in as the first-ever female four-star admiral
to oversee the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps." Levine's appointment set off a salvo of celebratory
articles. From CNN to Forbes mainstream media outlets across the land effused about what a great milestone Levine's
appointment represented for American women. There was only one problem with all this. Rachel Levine is a not a
woman. Levine is a man. Born Richard Levine, he has lived most of his life as a man. His male credentials
include a twenty-five-year marriage to a biological female by whom he fathered two children. That Levine is a man there
can be no doubt. Every cell in his body testifies to this incontrovertible fact by containing the male XY chromosomal
combination in the nuclear DNA. But no DNA analysis is necessary to know the truth. That Levine is a man is
obvious to everyone who takes a good look at his pictures.
White
House: Rising Gas Prices Proves Government Should Spend More on Green Energy. The White House on Friday
said that rising gas prices proved that the federal government should spend more on green energy. "The rise in gas
prices over the long term makes an even stronger case for doubling down our investment and our focus on clean energy
options," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing. Psaki acknowledged that the White House
had suspended oil and gas leases on federal lands, but clarified that existing leases were still able to produce. She
blamed market fluctuations driven by OPEC for rising gas prices and repeated that the Biden administration would continue
monitoring any cases of possible price gouging by energy companies.
The Editor says...
The federal government has no money of its own to spend on anything. When someone says the government should spend
more on their pet project, they're playing with someone else's money.
Transgenderism's
assault on basic truth. Recently, Dr. "Rachel" Levine made history by becoming the first "trans-woman"
(man who calls himself a woman) to be appointed to the rank of four-star admiral for the United States Public Health Service
Commissioned Corps. While many members on the left find this to be cause for great celebration, in truth, hardly
anything could be more detrimental to America's armed forces. This event, if only largely nominal, signifies nothing
less than a direct assault on the most precious thing holding our military, our government, and our entire social world
together: truth.
How
did we get here? Can this mess be fixed? Today's polarization, some say, can be solved by
compromise. Beware of solutions that are worse than the problem. We have reached our woke relativistic condition
precisely thanks to compromise. It's a compromise only if something is surrendered. When a person who holds a
truthful belief compromises with someone who believes a lie, the result is a truth-believer agreeing to recognize partial
truth. The more compromises, the farther one moves away from truth. This is how truth has been progressively
undermined in our land, leading to the approval of baby-murder by the child's own mother in the place the kid should be most
safe, and a political "leader" who dictates what people must do "for their own good," whether they want to or not.
Who Eventually Won
the Cold War? Did the lead medical authority on America's COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci, deny under oath
the fact that he routed U.S. aid money, through a third party, to the ground-zero Wuhan virology lab to enhance gain-of-function
viral research? Did Attorney General Merrick Garland sic the FBI on parents complaining about critical race theory —
on the concocted accusation from a school board group, in part cooked up with White House staffer help, that the parents were
likely "domestic terrorists"? Did we really spend 22 months and $40 million chasing the "Russian collusion" hoax,
a myth ginned up by the left-wing media and its enablers in the FBI and CIA? Does the public really believe our current ministry
of information that the "border is closed"? Or that high gas prices are good? Or that empty shelves reflect strong demand
and will result in a more mature public no longer needing to buy superfluous goods? Or that spiraling inflation is proof of a
strong economy? Or that the road to the Kabul airport was open to anyone with a U.S. passport who wished to leave? Or
that the accidental U.S. drone killing of a family in Kabul was a "righteous strike"?
The
deadly word games that brought us 'Gain of Function'. Washington, D.C. is the biggest home of lies and word
games in the known cosmos. In D.C., a seven-trillion-dollar punch in your wallet costs you absolutely nothing,
according to the president of the United States himself. In Washington, D.C. a fat, aging hippie man becomes the first
"female" four-star admiral of the United States, and nobody is allowed to laugh. In fairytale D.C., a tricked out flu
virus is the biggest, scariest pandemic since the Black Death, and they will cancel you if you deny it. In Washington,
D.C., Dr. Fauci is a hometown hero, because he is the slickest liar of them all, ever since he rocketed to fame on the
tail of the AIDS disaster.
The gaslighting
of America. When we look at videos showing thousands of migrants coming across our southern border with
impunity, while Biden and his cohorts tell us they have the situation under control, we're being gaslighted. When
thousands of Americans and Afghan allies are abandoned to be tortured and killed by Taliban terrorists, while Biden's press
secretary, Jen Psaki, tells us the war ended successfully, we're being told not to believe what we're seeing. President
Trump made our country energy independent, only to have his success overturned by Biden on day one of Biden's presidency.
That forced our country to once again be dependent on foreign oil. Biden said his action would help protect the
environment. We scratch our heads and wonder how it makes sense to ship millions of barrels of oil on cargo ships
from thousands of miles away, only to be used the same way it was used when it was processed here. Does foreign
oil have less environmental effect than American oil?
AG
Garland Says He's "Not Aware" Zuckerberg Poured Over $400 Million to Interfere in the 2020 Presidential Election and Takeover
Polling Places. US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday [10/21/2021] testified before the House
Judiciary Committee on the Justice Department's mission and policies. Prior to the 2020 election, Zuckerburg dumped
over $400 million to hijack the elections nationwide. Arizona received nearly $3 million Zuckerbucks to run their
election and Georgia received nearly $5.6 million Zuckerbucks. Garland defended the 2020 election and even threatened
states who thought about auditing their elections. Garland's wife is an election specialist with connections to non-profits
attempting to prevent any election audits of the 2020 Presidential Election and Ms. Garland co-wrote an article with the
Brennan Center and Verified Voting. She knows all about the nonprofits, CTCL, and Mark Zuckerburg's generous "donation".
The Editor says...
These are the same people who want to keep track of your bank transactions over $600. Do you really think the Attorney General
is unaware of the way Mr. Zuckerburg spends his money?
What
happened during the 2020 election must be investigated and discussed. [Scroll down] By 2017, one out of
three Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives boycotted Trump's inauguration. Many said they refused to take
part in the installation of an "illegitimate" president. The corporate media didn't condemn leading Democrats' refusal
to accept the results of the 2016 election. In fact, the media amplified the most speculative claims of how Trump and
Russia had colluded to steal the election from Clinton. They dutifully regurgitated inaccurate leaks from corrupt
intelligence officials suggesting Trump and his staff had committed treason. They ran stories arguing that Republicans
who didn't support their conspiracy theory were insufficiently loyal to the country or somehow compromised themselves.
It was all nonsense. Even Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who ran a multi-year and multi-million-dollar government
investigation into claims that Trump personally colluded with Russian president Vladimir Putin to steal the election from
Clinton, found no evidence to support the fevered accusations.
And
Jews Will Still Vote Democrat. There is almost nothing Democrats can do to damage America, or Israel, that
would change most American Jews' political leanings. The latest example took place just last week. A college
student speaking to the vice president of the United States, a Democrat, condemned America for supporting Israel, and charged
Israel with committing "ethnic genocide" against Palestinians. Harris's response? "Your voice, your perspective,
your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard." It was indeed the student's truth —
which means it was a lie. "Your truth" always means "a lie." When a person says something that is true, people
don't say, "that is your truth." They say, "that's true." And indeed, what the girl said to the vice president
was a complete lie.
Pathetic:
White House Dubs "We Love Joe!" Chant in Video of Congressional Ballgame Appearance to Make Biden Seem Popular.
In an apparent effort to counter the nationwide trend of "F*** Joe Biden!" chants at sporting events around the nation, the
White House released a video Sunday morning of Joe Biden's visit to the Congressional baseball game in Washington, D.C. last
Wednesday night that opens with overdubbed girlish voices chanting "We love Joe!" as Biden entered Nationals Park. In
contrast to the thunderous "We love Trump!" chants by thousands of supporters at President Trump's rallies, the Biden cheers
sound like a handful of female White House staffers recorded in a studio. Hear for yourself. [Tweet with video clip]
ACLU
Cracks Under Pressure After Outrage Over Altered Ruth Bader Ginsburg Quote. To quickly recap, Republicans and
even some Democrats ripped the organization to shreds for posting a revised quote from the former Supreme Court associate
justice and feminist icon on the one year anniversary of her death, a quote that was specifically about an issue that
directly relates to women (abortion). As of this writing, the tweet is still up. Here's how the ACLU changed a
dead woman's words to make them sound more gender-neutral, erasing women in the process: [New quote and original quote
omitted for brevity.] Whether or not one believes abortion should be legal, those were her words. The bigger
issue was that women were removed from her quote, which was ironic on so many levels.
White House whoppers.
Joe Biden winning the presidency may turn out very badly for the Democratic Party because success obscures problems that need
fixing. If we're winning, it's working, the thinking goes, so there can't be much wrong with what we're doing.
This is delusional. Making Donald Trump a one-term president seems to have ended any real effort by Democrats to stop
treating ordinary people as ignorant plebs. This is unwise if you want their votes and will probably come back and bite
the party as election cycles roll on. Hillary Clinton's 2016 comment that those who wouldn't vote for her were
"deplorables" expressed the Dems' contempt for the interests, concerns, pursuits, and intelligence of people not part of the
opinion-forming elite. The same contempt is glaringly clear in the administration's daily denial of obvious truths,
many of which are on video played on TV while Dems are spinning at full throttle. They seem to think lumpen proles can
be persuaded by flat denials to disbelieve what they see with their lying eyes. Recent falsehoods are jaw-dropping.
Biden
exposes his dementia to the world. Biden cannot function without either a teleprompter or pre-printed cheat
sheets, which tell him how to meet and greet his peers. As Andrea Widburg noted, Biden cannot even so much as say
"hello" to Boris Johnson without reading it first from his cheat sheet. [...] Biden made an incredible claim about climate
change. ["] ... And dealing with the gravest threat to humanity we've ever seen which is the whole climate crisis
we're gonna we're un we're undergoing that can only be met with global solutions ... ["] The remark is so
stupid that it is actually obscene. "Climate change," supposedly a greater threat than Nazism. Or Genghis
Khan. Or the Black Death of 1350, which killed off half the world. The climate crisis of 536-540 when a volcanic eruption
in the East Indies caused a global nuclear winter with mass famine and disease, that's not sufficient for what Biden claims now, either.
A
Ruling Class with Blood on Its Hands. Allow me to suggest three cheat codes for separating truth from
propaganda in the Age of Mass Media Manipulation: (1) Whatever is censored is true. (2) Refusal to
audit elections is proof that vote totals are unverifiable and fraudulent. (3) Any president who inexplicably
disappears for days at a time and admits that he is "not allowed" to answer questions from the press is not actually
president. If you put (1), (2), and (3) together, you get an incompetent and schizophrenic government incapable of
protecting its armed forces overseas, securing its borders at home, preventing runaway inflation from destroying the economy,
or acting in the best interest of the American people. What you get is a dazed and addled puppet pretending to be
commander-in-chief while unelected and unaccountable shadow figures call the shots. What you get is a praetorian press
that has no problem lying about the fake president's obvious dementia by framing his mental handicaps as nothing more than a
"childhood stutter."
The Editor says...
Barack H. Obama used to stutter all the time when making speeches, and the press made excuses for him, too.
Ben Rhodes'
Book Proves Obama Officials' Lies, and His Own, About Edward Snowden and Russia. Ever since Edward Snowden
received asylum from Russia in 2013, Obama officials have repeatedly maligned his motives and patriotism by citing his
"choice" to take up residence there. It has long been clear that this narrative was a lie: Snowden, after meeting
with journalists in Hong Kong, intended only to transit through Moscow and then Havana on his way to seek asylum in Latin
America. He was purposely prevented from leaving Russia — trapped in the Moscow airport — by the
very Obama officials who then cynically weaponized his presence there to imply he was a civil-liberties hypocrite for
"choosing" to live in such a repressive country or, even worse, a Kremlin agent or Russian spy. But now we have
absolute, definitive proof that Snowden never intended to stay in Russia but was deliberately prevented from leaving by the
same Obama officials who exploited the predicament which they created. The proof was supplied unintentionally in
the memoir of one of Obama's senior national security advisers, Ben Rhodes, entitled The World as It Is: A Memoir of
the Obama White House. It is hard to overstate how dispositively Rhodes' own book proves that Obama officials
generally, and Rhodes specifically, lied blatantly and cavalierly to the public about what happened: a level of
sustained and conscious lying that can be explained only by sociopathy.
Has
there ever been a President as cold-hearted as Joe Biden? Every sentient American surely knows by now about
Biden's plagiarism, his pathological lying about everything from his law school record to his fabricated exploits around the
world. Everyone surely knows by now of Hunter Biden's depravity, all of which China has proof of (as did the FBI in
December of 2019). Just as the truth about the covid vaccines is strictly suppressed, so was the depth and breadth of
the Biden family's corruption. The media, print and electronic, deranged by their irrational hatred of Donald Trump,
covered up the truth about the Biden family's unscrupulousness. We have the media and their big tech partners in crime
to blame for the calamitous failures of this illegitimately installed president. We will suffer the reverberations of
his open borders, energy regression, inflation, and the horrors unfolding in Afghanistan for decades to come.

Asks Psaki How People Can Trust Administration On Afghanistan If They're Hiding White House Dog's Biting Spree.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked Friday how Americans can "have faith" in President Joe Biden's administration
regarding Afghanistan when it shielded the number of dog-biting incidents. According to the emails obtained by Judicial
Watch, Major was reportedly involved in 8 different biting incidents. "We expect honest information even for minor
stories," the reporter said. "And if we can't get honest information about minor stories, why should we have faith in
the administration's account for larger issues like Afghanistan?" he asked.
National
Security Advisor Jake Sullivan Tells Bald-Faced Lie About Trump. In a rather bizarre attempt to deflect
criticism of President Joe Biden's inept handling of the withdrawal effort in Afghanistan, National Security Advisor Jake
Sullivan lied about former President Trump's dealings with Afghan allies. During a Monday [8/23/2021] press briefing,
Sullivan deceptively claimed the previous administration did not process any Special Immigrant Visas (SIV) for Afghans who
assisted the U.S. military since March 2020. During the conference, Sullivan said: ["]When we took office in
January, the Trump administration had not processed a single Special Immigrant Visa since March of 2020 — in
nearly a year.["] But apparently, the national security advisor was banking on the chance that people wouldn't
dig further into the matter because this statement is total fiction.
'The
definition of gaslighting': As chaos unfolds at Kabul airport, Biden team projects calm. Tens of thousands of
Afghans awaiting U.S. visas and thousands of American citizens are still stuck in Kabul, unable to find safe passage through
frantic crowds, Taliban checkpoints and Afghan guards stationed outside the airport. Gunfire erupted outside of the north
gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Monday, killing a number of Afghan security forces. American officials
have repeatedly had to close the gates for extended periods, leading guards to turn away even U.S. passport holders.
Psaki
Claims Biden's Afghanistan Crisis Is 'A Success,' Appears To Admit Admin Expects Some Will Be Left Behind.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was grilled during Tuesday's [8/24/2021] press briefing over the administration's
disaster in Afghanistan. Psaki said that completion of the operation to evacuate U.S. citizens depended "on continued
coordination with the Taliban," adding that Biden has requested contingency plans from the Pentagon. She later added
that the evacuations would stop before the August 31 deadline so there was time to get U.S. forces out of the country.
Psaki did not know whether the deadline was at midnight on August 30 or 31 and whether it was U.S. time or Afghanistan
time. When asked about at least one example of a person who was fleeing Afghanistan that had ties to ISIS, Psaki
claimed that the administration had a "stringent vetting process, which includes background checks."
Is
There Any Job That's Worse Than Working For Joe Biden's Communications Team? There may not be any job worse
than working for President Joe Biden's communications team. [...] Biden's communications staffers are presented almost daily
with the near-Herculean task of cleaning up whatever the president said last; [...] For example, White House communications
director Kate Bedingfield spent most of Friday morning trying to explain why Biden had taken a vacation while Afghanistan
proverbially burned. He returned to the White House only to scold Republican governors for not forcing children to wear
face masks in school and refused to take a single question on the chaos in Kabul. In the wake of all that, Bedingfield
argued that Biden "never shied away from taking questions," prompting an understandably bewildered look from "Morning Joe"
co-host Willie Geist.
Untruths
and consequences. To any sane person, it appears our elites and their media sycophants are engaging in an
unprecedented preposterous statement tournament. They must get up every day, snicker once or twice, and try to think of
the most ridiculous, least verifiable piece of ludicrous prevarication they can attempt to pass off as truth. And why
shouldn't they? A significant percentage of Americans seem willing to believe anything at all. So, President
Biden says there are no Americans trapped in Kabul. Alright, now tell us the one about the three bears. His Press
Secretary, Jen Psaki, says we need to get the military out of Afghanistan first, so we don't risk anyone getting hurt.
Yes, forget about the thousands of American civilians trapped in Kabul. Ignore the pictures of mothers throwing their
babies over fences. Um, Jen, we send our troops to places specifically to confront danger and instability... and often
to fight the bad guys. That's why, unlike civilians, they are armed to the teeth and wear body armor.
That's why they have attack helicopters, A-10 Warthogs, missiles, rocket launchers, grenades, and submachine guns. Or
used to, before the Biden administration decided to donate them to the Taliban.
Biden
Sycophants Claim the Kabul Catastrophe Will Make Biden and America Stronger. Afghanistan is on the cusp of
morphing from a mere national humiliation that will constrain US foreign policy for the next generation into a military
catastrophe that could compare to the fate of the British Army during its 1842 retreat from Afghanistan if we continue on our
current course. Despite the abject and total failure of every component of the US government to carry out its mission,
and more than ample evidence to demonstrate that our elites and government are incompetent beyond belief, a campaign is now
starting to gaslight us into believing that this is a stroke of genius by the Dementia Popsicle in the White House.
Yes, those voices are saying there are a few glitches in the evacuation (like the 10,000 or so Americans who may be left
behind in Kabul, once the deadline for US withdrawal passes on August 31), but the resolve and vision of President
(so-called) Joe Biden are just what the nation needs.
Biden
lies through his teeth, fails to fess up to Afghanistan shambles for third time. President Joe Biden still
won't apologize for the complete chaos he's triggered in Afghanistan as tens of thousands of American and allied lives remain
at risk. Despite his claims to the contrary, his pullout has been an utter disaster, and America's standing has
suffered. His televised speech Friday [8/20/2021] was once again an exercise in delusion, misdirection — and
flat-out lying. In his remarks, for instance, the president declared: "I have seen no question of our credibility
from our allies around the world." He then looked back at his court jesters, a masked Secretary of State Antony Blinken
and clueless Vice President Kamala Harris, as if he really believed what he was saying. "Matter of fact, the exact
opposite I've got." Does he think Americans are really that gullible?
Keywords: Photoshop, fraud, fiction, phony, farce, flimflam. New
Evidence of Something Really Wrong with Biden's Camp David Photos — Not Just the Clocks. The White
House on Sunday morning [8/15/2021] posted a photo of Joe Biden at Camp David, where he was vacationing when the news hit
that Afghanistan was falling into the hands of the Taliban. [...] Maybe there's a perfectly good explanation for why the Camp
David clocks are set to the way they would be in February. Just like there's a reason why Biden got a bald spot, grew
hair back, and then balded again — all in one weekend. There's a better explanation: President Biden
was indisposed this weekend as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and a White House staffer posted the unreleased Camp David
photos that were on hand from February. Of course, this must seem to be an 'impossibility' for a mainstream news media
that often fails to be nearly as critical of the Biden administration as they were about the last. But given the
evidence at hand, it is the best available explanation at this point in time.
'This
Is Manifestly Not Saigon' and Our Society of Lies. Commenting on the American helicopters picking up Americans
from the roof of the U.S. embassy in Kabul, [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken said, "This is manifestly not Saigon."
That statement sums up the state of the United States of America. We have become a Society of Lies. [...] The fact is
that Kabul 2021 is Saigon 1975 — and everyone with eyes to see knows this. Yet, the secretary of state of
the United States, representing a left-wing administration and a party that is therefore committed to saying whatever is
deemed beneficial to its interests regardless of whether it's true, shamelessly announces that Kabul "is manifestly not
Saigon." Does Blinken believe what he said? Perhaps. Did he ask himself if that was a true statement before
he made it? Not likely.
The U.S. Government
Lied For Two Decades About Afghanistan. "The Taliban regime is coming to an end," announced President George W.
Bush at the National Museum of Women in the Arts on December 12, 2001 — almost twenty years ago today. Five
months later, Bush vowed: "In the United States of America, the terrorists have chosen a foe unlike they have faced
before. ... We will stay until the mission is done." Four years after that, in August of 2006, Bush announced: "Al
Qaeda and the Taliban lost a coveted base in Afghanistan and they know they will never reclaim it when democracy succeeds. ... The
days of the Taliban are over. The future of Afghanistan belongs to the people of Afghanistan." For two decades, the
message Americans heard from their political and military leaders about the country's longest war was the same. America is
winning. The Taliban is on the verge of permanent obliteration. The U.S. is fortifying the Afghan security forces,
which are close to being able to stand on their own and defend the government and the country. [...] Similar assurances have been
given by the U.S. Government and military leadership to the American people since the start of the war.
A
Brief History of the Assault on Conservatives as 'Violent Extremists'. The assault on conservative Americans
began several decades ago with attacks on traditional principles and values. Belief in individual liberty and responsibility,
free enterprise, and the rule of law was willfully conflated with "right-wing extremism." Pride in America, a desire to
protect our borders, and opposition to illegal immigration was branded as xenophobic. Championing the constitutional right
to bear arms was decried as gun-crazed zealotry. Belief in religion, natural law, and the sanctity of human life was
maligned as backward and anachronistic. This vilification of conservatives has coincided with a deliberate shift from
the real threats: radical Islamic and leftist groups. Islamic terrorist attacks have been declared as having
"nothing to do with Islam" or excused by spurious claims that the perpetrators were mentally ill or misunderstood religious
doctrine. When a military psychiatrist massacred 13 people in Fort Hood yelling 'Allahu akbar', it was dismissed
as "workplace violence." And the violence, arson, destruction of public property, and killing of citizens and police officers
unleashed by Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) during the 'Summer of Love' are described as "mostly peaceful protests."
Co-founder
of fact-checking site Snopes is suspended after investigation revealed he plagiarized at least 54 articles and used a fake
name. The co-founder of fact-checking website Snopes has apologized for plagiarizing more than 50 articles and
writing under a fake name. David Mikkelson, a computer science graduate who founded the site in 1994, blamed the
behavior on a lack of journalistic training. 'I didn't come from a journalism background,' he said. 'I wasn't used
to doing news aggregation. A number of times I crossed the line to where it was copyright infringement. I own that.'
The Hypocrisy Variant.
Inevitably the Hypocrisy Variant has infected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) who recently masked up for a photo op with
activists on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and removed her mask after the shot. We're all familiar with the other
ravages of the Hypocrisy Variant: Speaker Pelosi getting caught at her hair salon when no one else was permitted to
engage in such "dangerous" behavior. Hillary Clinton refusing to accept her 2016 loss and accusing Trump of inciting
insurrection for taking much the same position after the 2020 debacle. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer reversing
his position on Supreme Court nominees. The preposterous claims by truant Democrats from the Texas legislature who
insist that they are saving democracy by refusing to allow a democratically elected legislature to pass an election reform bill.
Your papers, please!
Welcome to the Vaccine Passport Era in America. It's coming. Every time a progressive says, "Don't worry, we're not thinking of
doing that," you can take to the bank that that's exactly what they are planning on doing. They're just looking for the perfect
time and circumstance to rationalize away their initial publicly stated opposition.
• The filibuster is a cornerstone of our democracy, we'd never change that.
• Every person deserves to be treated equally, so we oppose any organization that discriminates based on race or gender.
• We must ensure the integrity of our elections, because Trump and Russia stole the 2016 presidency from Hillary Clinton.
Those are just three recent examples of progressive double-speak out of thousands of examples. As soon as removing the filibuster
is to their advantage, they're for it. As soon as favoring certain demographic voting groups over others is to their advantage,
they're for it. As soon as either enforcing or ignoring voting standards and regulations is to their advantage, they're for it.
Leftists
buried in brutal reality checks after bragging Obama's 'biggest scandal' on his birthday. To this day,
low-information liberal Democrats still believe that the pseudo "tan suit scandal" was the only scandal ever experienced by
former President Barack Obama. To be clear, there was no "tan suit scandal." When Obama wore a tan suit in 2014
for a live pres conference, the unconventional attire drew widespread attention and lots of mockery and jokes, but that's
it. There was no scandal. Yet to stunningly low-information liberal Democrat voters, the fictional "tan suit
scandal" was a real scandal, but the dozens of other actual scandals were make-believe. And yes, they really believe this.
The Editor says...
For a long list of Obama scandals — actually a list of other people's lists — please refer

No, libs, the
Jan. 6 events weren't a 'coup'. Here's what Jan. 6 wasn't: It wasn't the "worst attack on our democracy
since the Civil War." Nor did it veer anywhere near the vicinity of being as dangerous as 9/11. Nor was it a
"coup" or an "insurrection" — not in any way we commonly understand those words. It wasn't a "putsch."
Nor did it, as the chairman of the Jan. 6 committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, claimed, come "dangerously close to
succeeding" in upending "American democracy." That's all a myth. It was a riot. Or, as Christopher Caldwell
more forgivingly called it in The New York Times, perhaps "a political protest that got out of control." And, contra
House Republican Adam Kinzinger's overwrought contention on the first day of the Jan. 6 select committee, there's no evidence
that "self-governance" was threatened by the rioters. Only two sets of people gain anything from pretending that these
rioters had anything approaching the wherewithal to overthrow the United States government: Democrats and the extremists.
Biden
Brags About 'His' Economic Recovery, But Has To Lie To Do It. As TV screens showed the Dow Jones tumbling on
inflation and renewed COVID fears, President Joe Biden took to the podium Monday [7/19/2021] to brag about how great the
economy is doing and why he deserves all the credit. It was a remarkable act of prestidigitation for such an old
man. Biden said that "it's true that the economy was sputtering before I got here." That's provably false.
He said that: "We've gone from 60,000 jobs per month to ... more than 600,000 jobs per month since I took
office." That's grossly misleading. He went on to boast that: "Look, we've brought this economy back from
the brink." That is a bald-faced lie. Biden's intent with his remarks is to argue that his $1.9 trillion
"rescue" bill saved the economy, and the even bigger spending bills he wants Congress to pass will keep it going.
No one should believe a word of it.
The
Leftist Lunacy Called 'White Rage'. It's difficult to keep track of the Orwellian-style lunacy that's destroying
our country. From systemic racism to white supremacy to Russia collusion to a January 6 "insurrection," the left are
masters at running false flag operations. What is a false flag operation? It's when a group uses deliberate
misinformation to disguise an actual source of responsibility and pin the blame on another party. President Trump
"colluding with Russia" is a false flag. Anyone with a brain larger than a pea knows that it was Hillary Clinton
who hired a foreign actor to work with the Russians and develop a fictitious hit job on then-candidate Trump. And the
big lie continued even after Trump was elected and the truth was exposed, due in large part to the DNC's propaganda wing (AKA
the mainstream media). The false flags keep popping up, even when the truth is plainly visible. Hunter Biden's
laptop ("Russian disinformation!") is another case in point. What should have been a blockbuster, election-breaking
story of the century was virtually ignored by the media and the gullible lapdogs among the Great Unwashed.
Desperate
Dems Deny Their Agenda Three Times. For more than a year, leading Democrats — up to and including
President Joe Biden — have talked up the idea of cutting police budgets because local law enforcement is plagued
by racism. During his campaign, Biden was asked, "Do you believe there is systemic racism in law enforcement?"
"Absolutely," Biden responded. In another interview, Biden was asked, "Can we agree that we can redirect some of the
funding" for the cops. Biden said, "Yes, absolutely." His running mate and now Vice President Kamala Harris said
that governments must "reexamine" where their funding is going. Democrats didn't just talk about defunding the
police. Deep blue cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Austin, Portland, and others acted on it,
slashing police budgets. The predictable result was an explosion in violent crime. Over the July 4 weekend
alone, more than 180 people were shot to death. Not only that, but ambushes of police grew more than 90% this
year. So what's the Democrats' response? To claim that it's Republicans who are defunding the police.
Washington
Post gives White House 'Three Pinocchios' for claiming Republicans are defunding police. The Washington Post's
Fact-Checker dinged the White House for claiming Republicans were "defunding the police," giving the eyebrow-raising talking
point "Three Pinocchios." Recent remarks by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and senior Biden adviser Cedric
Richmond had sought to turn the tables on months of some progressive Democrats advocating for slicing or even dismantling
municipal police department budgets. Their logic was GOP opposition to the $1.9-trillion coronavirus relief bill passed
this year amounted to supporting defunding police, since $350 billion was allocated for state and local government aid.
"Although Republicans all opposed Biden's coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather,
Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra
funds. That's not a reduction," the Post's Salvador Rizzo wrote.
Washington
Post Admits Republicans Have Not Defunded Police Despite White House Claims. The Washington Post
admitted Wednesday [7/7/2021] that Republicans do not support defunding the police following the White House's claims the GOP
backed such measures. "Although Republicans all opposed Biden's coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or
defund, anything," WaPo wrote, as White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed on June 23, when she said, "That was
voted into law by Democrats just a couple of months ago. Some might say that the other party was for defunding the
police; I'll let others say that, but that's a piece."
20
Questions for Nancy Pelosi About January 6. No one has milked the events of January 6 more than House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). She set the official narrative early and often, a storyline her scribes in the news media have
dutifully repeated without question or scrutiny. "[Y]esterday, the president of the United States incited an armed
insurrection against America, the gleeful desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple of our American democracy,"
Pelosi lamented in a hyperdramatic press conference the day after the raucous protest. She accused President Trump of
"sedition" and urged his cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him just two weeks before he officially left the
White House. Nearly every word in her opening statement that day is untrue. The president didn't "incite" the
violence; it was not an insurrection, armed or otherwise, and the only person who used a firearm was a still-unidentified
Capitol police officer who killed an unarmed female veteran.
Psaki's
deceitfulness has gotten so blatant that even reporters from NYT, Bloomberg, Politico and NPR called her out
Friday. Last Friday [7/2/2021] saw something of a landmark, less than half a year after the Biden
administration assumed office. The level of gaslighting — proclaiming things that are the exact opposite of
the truth, such as blaming Republicans for defunding the police — has gotten so bad that even members of the
progressive media feel free to mock at least some if the bilge they are being fed by Biden's handlers' press secretary, Jen
Psaki. The issue that provoked negative feedback from her normally supportive allies was not top-of-mind stuff like
defunding the police, but rather an inside baseball sort of issue. I consider it a warning shot across her bow, warning
her to keep lies to a level that could plausibly be sold to the public.
Psaki
exposed for holding 'anonymous briefings' after comment on anonymous sources. White House press secretary Jen
Psaki was called out by a reporter after she claimed during a press briefing on Friday that she does not respond to
"anonymous reports or anonymous sources." Bloomberg News' senior White House correspondent, Jennifer Jacobs, took to
Twitter to accuse the press secretary of being hypocritical while going on to claim that Psaki's staff "regularly organizes
anonymous briefings on topics in the news." [Tweet] Jacobs was responding to a statement made by Psaki to Fox News'
White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, in which he asked whether the administration was concerned about recent reports
claiming there is an "abusive environment" within Vice President Kamala Harris' office. "I try not to speak to or
engage on anonymous reports or anonymous sources," Psaki said.
Jen
Psaki Tells a Straight Up Lie About Why Joe Biden Snapped at Reporters. The Biden team is a constant exercise
in Orwellian thought. The truth is frequently the opposite of what they say. Just in the past few days, we've
been told that Republicans were the ones who wanted to defund the police, despite Jen Psaki not being able to name one
Republican who was in favor of it, while it's been Democrats across the country for the past year pushing it. Then
there was the effort by Psaki to try to convince Americans they really weren't feeling those rising prices this year at the
July 4th cookout because they were saving 16 cents on hot dogs (which wasn't even true).
Jen
Psaki Cannot Name One GOP Member in Favor of Defunding Police. White House press secretary Jen Psaki stuck to
the GOP blame game Wednesday when Fox News questioned her about comments she made alleging Republicans support defunding the
police. Psaki suggested that in not voting for the American Rescue Plan, Republicans were the true opponents of police
funding, Fox News reported. But when she was pressed on which specific Republicans in Congress voted no on the bill in
an effort to defund the police, "Psaki was drawn up short."
Doocy
Hangs Tough, Continues to Battle Psaki Over Her Defund the Police Lies. Two days after he faced shameless
gaslighting from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over which party supported defunding the police, Fox News's Peter
Doocy was back at it during Wednesday's [6/30/2021] briefing and pressed Psaki on her false claims that the GOP (and not
Democrats) have defunded the police. [Video clip] [...] Earth to Jen: What do cities such as Austin,
Baltimore, Denver, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York City, Oakland, and Seattle all have in common? Not
only are they run by Democrats, but those Democrats have voted to defund their police departments. Nonetheless, Psaki
has possessed zero shame as she's lied without consequence because, other than Doocy (and likely one or two others), not one
reporter in the Briefing Room cared.
Another
Embarrassing Story Drops on Dems as They Push Lie About 'GOP Defunding Police'. We reported yesterday on the
unbelievable effort of the White House to claim that somehow it was Republicans who are behind "defunding the police."
[Tweets] It shows just how much they think they can gaslight people with that kind of effort as though America would
forget what the Democrats and the BLM have done for more than a year. We pointed out how ironic it was that they were
trying to road test this new idea yesterday just as Oakland (a very leftist Democratic city) voted to remove millions from
the police, that they're obviously trying to flip the script on this because their internal polling is indicating it's going
to kill them in 2022. We have another ironic twist for you today, courtesy of Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).
'Defund
The Police' Is So Unpopular That Democrats Are Now Claiming Republicans Did It. In one of the most liberal
places in the U.S. — New York City — a Democratic primary for mayorship shows a microcosm of how the
majority of the public takes to "defunding the police" campaigns and attitudes. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams,
a former NYPD officer, currently leads Maya Wiley, who is endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, by over nine points
with 82% reporting in the Democratic mayoral primary. One of the reasons Adams was leading in prior polls is that
people of NYC were made weary with high crime rates. Eric Adams promised to take a tough approach to the streets and
Maya Wiley called for defunding the police.
White
House: Hey, it was actually Republicans that wanted to defund the police. Seeing how badly they are
tanking in the polls on this subject, this week the White House attempted to claim that it's actually the Republicans who
have been pushing to defund the police. Before you ask, no... that wasn't a typo. Biden advisor Cedric Richmond
was the first one sent out to try to pitch this pitiful claim, but Jen Psaki went all-in on it later in the same day.
After more than a year of seeing Democrats kowtowing to the Black Lives Matter movement and literally defunding the cops in
cities controlled entirely by their party, these dishonest scammers are actually trying to claim that it was the Republicans
who wanted to cut funding for law enforcement.
The
Three-Way Squeeze. Here is why the "Joe Biden" regime only has a few months to live: it is caught in a
squeeze between some of the greatest lies in world history, and they're all unraveling now.
Government
'Digital Divide' Lies: They Don't Even Count Your Smart Phone as an Internet Connection. None of the very
many Obamacare lies told very many times had anything to do with reality. But that mattered not to the liars.
Because the only reality that mattered to the liars was expanding government's size, scope, and sphere of influence in health
care. For Leftists and bureaucrats (please pardon the redundancy), their ends justify any means necessary.
Government and its bureaucrats want to expand their bootprint on the Internet. So we hear a whole lot about "The
Digital Divide": "Digital divide is a term that refers to the gap between demographics and regions that have
access to modern information and communications technology, and those that don't or have restricted access. This
technology can include the telephone, television, personal computers and the Internet." That is a sensible
definition. So, of course, government bureaucrats do not use it.
Democrats
Trying to Rewrite History on 'Defund the Police'. The Democrats must have internal polling on 'defund the
police' that's truly awful, because some of them are already trying to rewrite the history of the issue. With violent
crime on the rise in many American cities and a midterm election around the corner, Democrats suddenly don't want to be
associated with this at all. They also think you're dumb enough to believe they never advocated this position.
Are You
Living by Lies? [Rod] Dreher was inspired to write his book by heroic dissidents who refused to bend the knee
to communist tyrants and saw a similar tyranny becoming ensconced in the United States. These moral giants are
astonished that the primary beacon of freedom during their years of oppression has become a society where speech and actions
disapproved by secular elites are regularly squelched and punished. Religious freedom, for example, is being reduced to
the freedom to gather in congregations where (at least for now) marriage is affirmed by a priest, rabbi, or minister, a
freedom that doesn't extend beyond meeting walls to how a baker runs his business. [...] Under this soft totalitarianism,
Americans are now compelled "to engage in doublethink every day. Men have periods. The woman standing in front of
you is to be called 'he.' Diversity and inclusion means excluding those who object to ideological uniformity.
Equity means treating persons unequally, regardless of their skills and achievements, to achieve an ideologically correct
result." I might add to that short summary the lie that America is a racist country, that law enforcement and our
judicial system are institutionally racist, and that America was founded in 1619 upon the bedrock principle of white racism.
The
Not-So-Great American Pastime. Pretending is no longer simply child's play. It is the
zeitgeist. As a people, we are encouraged — even expected — to pretend that an athlete born as a
boy has no advantage over those born as a girl once the erstwhile boy declares his female identity (and perhaps dresses the
part). Meanwhile, students and teachers must obey the corruption of the English language, never letting on that they know of
the deceit, when using the "preferred pronouns" of folks who pretend to believe that humans come in virtually limitless
genders and that gender and sex are entirely unrelated matters. When discussing scientific theories, we are ordered to
accept "the science" (a paradox bathed in irony) in explaining things as disparate as climate change and the efficacy of
cloth and paper face masks in preventing the spread of a virus. We are even urged to engage in the fantasy that our
nation was founded in order to facilitate slavery, and that we rebelled against the king and country that kept us in bondage
for that reason — and not for any of the enumerated grievances in the document that actually declared our independence.
Stacey
Abrams Now Claims She Was Never Against Voter ID. Democrats have been trying to pass their 'voter reform' bill,
but Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has been a thorn in their side. Now Manchin has proposed a compromise which includes
voter ID provisions, and some Democrats like Stacey Abrams who previously called voter IDs racist, are suddenly changing
their tune.
Top
Democrats flip-flop on 'racist' voter ID laws. As Democrats try to push the For the People Act through the
Senate, some of the party's top figures are changing their tune on voter ID rules they previously called "racist." In
an effort to garner bipartisan support for the act, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has proposed a set of compromises.
One would expand voter ID laws, long a legislative objective for the GOP. The line from the Manchin memo:
"Require voter ID with allowable alternatives (utility bill, etc.) to prove identity to vote". When asked about the
compromise on Thursday, Stacey Abrams, the former gubernatorial candidate for Georgia and Fair Fight Action founder, who has
long railed against voter ID laws, said she "absolutely" could support Manchin's proposal even if voter ID was a
part of it. "That's one of the fallacies of Republican talking points that have been deeply disturbing. No one
has ever objected to having to prove who you are to vote. It's been part of our nation's history since the inception of
voting," Abrams told CNN.
The
'spying' that wasn't: Adam Schiff and Don McGahn DOJ subpoena stories are falling apart. Reports that the
Department of Justice under the Trump administration secretly subpoenaed information on former White House counsel Don McGahn
and Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff seem to be falling apart at the seams as no real spying allegedly took place. A
New York Times story written by Michael Schmidt and Charlie Savage reported that the "DOJ secretly subpoenaed Apple for
personal info" on McGahn "and his wife in Feb '18" and then "barred Apple from telling them" about the reported move during
that time period under a non-disclosure agreement. But the devil appears to be in the details here and this may not be
the breaking story that the media is apparently running with. Schmidt tweeted: "NEW: DOJ secretly subpoenaed Apple
for personal info of Trump's then WH counsel Don McGahn and his wife in Feb '18. DOJ barred Apple from telling them at
time but 3 years later in May '21 Apple told them. It's unclear what investigation it was related to."
'White
Supremacy' Doesn't Explain Minorities Attacking Asian Americans. [A]ccording to Voice of America News: "In New York City, where
anti-Asian hate crime soared nearly nine-fold in 2020 over the year before, only two of the 20 people arrested last year in connection with these
attacks were white, according to New York Police Department data analyzed by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. Eleven were African
Americans, six were white Hispanics, and one was a Black Hispanic." Not exactly your typical Trump voters. "'I thought it was jarring,'
said Brian Levin, executive director of the center, noting that the finding runs counter to assumptions made by many that perpetrators of anti-Asian
hate are mostly angry white men who blame China for the COVID-19 pandemic." But not to worry. Professor Jennifer Ho of the University of
Colorado at Boulder offers a ready explanation for black hate crimes against Asian Americans: "white superiority."
Another
False Narrative Exposed: IG Report Shows Lafayette Park WAS NOT Cleared Using Tear Gas So President Trump Could Attend
St Johns Church. In May and June of 2020 Antifa and Black Lives Matter protestors were rioting all over
Washington DC, attempting to destroy statues, looting businesses and lighting fires. The Mayor of DC allowed the
protestors space to destroy the city. The epicenter of the left-wing rioting and violence was Lafayette park, across
the street from the White House. Thus began a major controversial narrative in June of last year as the media and
democrats decried how the U.S. Park Police cleared protestors from Lafayette Park shortly before President Trump walked to
St. John's church. The media shouted that President Trump told park police to fire tear gas into the crowd and
dispurse the protesters in any manner or method. However the report today shows President Trump had nothing to do with
it. It was all lies, all of it.
FLASHBACK,
May 2020, Democrats Announce Intent to Use ISIS Level Propaganda Against Trump on COVID Messaging. As recent
media reports provide hindsight into how wrong the narrative was against President Trump; and specifically as details emerge
about: (1) Anthony Fauci misleading background statements; (2) Obama's involvement in the restart of SARS-CoV-2 weaponization
via the Wuhan bio-lab; (3) the intentionally hyped risk caused by the COVID-19 virus; and, (4) the intentionally false
attacks against mitigating medical treatments proposed by President Trump; it is worth revisiting an announcement in early
May 2020 when the Democrats said they intended to use intelligence community methods to promote propaganda against the Trump
administration. On May 1, 2020, the Washington Post — an outlet known for being the manipulative propaganda voice of the
Intelligence Community — openly stated a network had formed with the intent to weaponize "Technology once used to combat
ISIS propaganda" against President Donald Trump and the White House efforts on COVID.
The
1619 Project Comes for the Second Amendment. Left-wing academic Carol Anderson's new book, The Second:
Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America, is all over the news. [...] The Second is an attempt — much
like the 1619 Project — to reimagine history in purely racial terms. The result is tendentious polemic that
suffers not only from a paucity of historical evidence, but from a dishonest rendering of the facts we do know. After
comprehensively detailing the constitutional debate over slavery and the nefariousness of that institution, Anderson takes
the liberty of asserting that the Second Amendment was "not some hallowed ground but rather a bribe, paid again with Black
bodies." This is a contention that isn't backed by a single contemporaneous quote or piece of hard evidence in the book.
Jen
Psaki Claims You're Not Seeing What You Think You Are With Those Rising Gas Prices. If you've been checking the
gas pump and noticing the rising prices as we hit Memorial Day weekend, don't worry. According to Jen Psaki, you're
really not seeing what you think you're seeing. Pay no attention to the evidence of your own eyes. According to
Psaki, those rising prices you're seeing really aren't so bad — and certainly not Joe Biden's fault.
Faster
than expected inflation 'is actually a good sign,' White House official says. On Thursday [5/27/2021],
President Joe Biden traveled to Ohio to make the case that the economy is headed in the right direction. "We've turned
the tide," he told the crowd in Cleveland. Shortly afterward, during an appearance on Yahoo Finance Live, one of his
top economic advisers acknowledged that in areas like inflation and in the labor market, "there's going to be some bumps in
the road" as the economy continues to right itself following the pandemic. However, National Economic Council Deputy
Director Bharat Ramamurti also told Yahoo Finance that the recent inflation jump is actually a positive sign. "The
faster than expected increase in some of those prices is actually a good sign in the sense that it's a sign that the economy
is recovering faster than a lot of people expected," he said.
Jen
Psaki says Biden is so fit that she has trouble keeping up with him. White House press secretary Jen Psaki told
reporters that President Biden is so healthy, she sometimes has a hard time keeping up with him. During the White
House's Monday press conference, Psaki was asked by a reporter about the president's workout routine and if he is still using
a Peloton stationary bicycle. Psaki said she did not have any information to share on Biden's "private exercise regime"
but said that she sometimes has trouble keeping up with the 78-year-old president when out and about with him. "I can
tell you, having traveled with him a fair amount, sometimes he's hard to keep up with," Psaki said.
Anti-Semitic
attacks leave the left wrestling with climate of hate argument they've loved in the past. As recently as a few
months ago it was common to see opinion pieces blaming the rash of hate crimes against Asian Americans on President Trump and
rhetoric about the "Chinese virus." Now, just a few months later, we have a spike in anti-Semitic attacks and the left is
suddenly struggling to make the same kind of generalizations about who is responsible. The climate of hate argument
only seems to operate in one direction.
The Squad Is Rooting
for Hamas. [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez, usually a font of half-baked socialist economic ideas, now regularly
offers thoughts on the Israeli-Palestinian situation to her 12 million Twitter followers. Here is one: [Tweet]
First of all, there are no "expulsions of Palestinians."&Nbsp; Six Palestinian families may be evicted from their homes in the
Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in a property dispute — and the Israeli supreme court has delayed a decision —
over land that was seized from Jewish families by the Jordanian Army after 1948. It's a complicated case, brought to the
judicial system by private citizens and adjudicated in an independent court.
'White
supremacy' to blame for Black-on-Asian hate crimes, Colorado professor claims. A critical race studies and
ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder says Americans wondering why Black citizens commit anti-Asian
hate crimes have an answer: "White supremacy." The educational watchdog Campus Reform spotlighted the commentary
of Jennifer Ho, which preceded President Biden's newly signed legislation aimed at combatting hate crimes against Asian
Americans. "Anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: White supremacy," Ms. Ho wrote for
The Conversation. "So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very
specifically by White supremacy. White supremacy does not require a White person to perpetuate it."
Peddlers
of Russiagate Won't Take Truth for an Answer. On April 16, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reported
that the Justice Department is investigating Kash Patel — who had worked with Rep. Devin Nunes and later the
Trump administration to reveal the Russiagate hoax — for the "possible improper disclosure of classified
information." Ignatius said he received the tip from "two knowledgeable sources" who "wouldn't provide additional details."
Violating the bedrock principles of American justice and journalism, this article is an exercise in thuggery as the
government uses a powerful media outlet to intimidate and besmirch a citizen without evidence. With nothing to respond
to, how can Patel defend himself? If Patel is lucky, the federal government has only placed a sharp sword over his head
that may not fall. If not, he might be dragged into a lengthy court battle that could drain his finances and also cost
him his freedom. We don't know if Patel broke the law, but note that the administration has shown no interest in
pursuing former FBI leaders such as James Comey and Andrew McCabe, who improperly disclosed information regarding Russiagate.
Dems
Spread 'Capitol Police Statement' Before Vote on 1/6 Commission but There Was One Big Problem. Democrats were
trying to push through the vote on a "Jan. 6 Commission" today in the House. They succeeded, with 35 Republicans
crossing over to vote in favor of it, not seeming to care that it's going to be a "bash Republicans" effort, rather than any
sort of real investigation. There are already multiple investigations going on, so there wasn't any need for an
additional. This is simply an opportunity for Democrats to bash Republicans.
This Was
a Test, and We Failed. The lies have been piled high in the last year as the annual flu was weaponized to
cover-up the disintegration of our financial system and as a means to fraudulently conduct a coup against a president; the
deaths of two black law breakers were utilized to usher in the colossal lie of systematic racism bought into by woke
corporations and college campuses across the world; a clearly stolen election was declared honest by those controlling the
narrative; lockdowns and masks were pronounced to be the only way to slow the spread even though all data refutes those
assertions; an armed insurrection (with no arms) lie on January 6 has been used to wall off Washington DC and sell the big
lie of white supremacy being a threat to the republic; the Federal Reserve creating trillions out of thin air and pumping it
into the pockets of billionaires and Wall Street fat cats has not created raging inflation and an all-time high in wealth
inequality according to the talking heads on CNBC and the rest of the fake news media complex; emergency use authorized
vaccines were the only solution to a flu that doesn't kill 99.8% of those infected, even though ivermectin and
hydroxychloroquine have proven to be effective and safe in combating covid; and lastly these vaccines have been declared safe
even though they are killing and maiming thousands and no one knows the long term effects on those who have chosen to be
their lab rats.
Men
Give Birth. America Was Founded in 1619. And Israel is the aggressor. When you meditate for a moment on
what the left expects honest and decent people to believe, you confront the world of absurdities and lies in which we
live. The left demands we believe and announce that men menstruate and give birth, and that it is in no way unfair to
girls and women when biological men compete in girls' and women's sports. In tens of thousands of American schools,
students are brainwashed to believe that America was not founded in 1776 but in 1619, the year the first Africans were
brought to North America as indentured servants or slaves. This is the "1619 Project" lie: It was labelled a lie
by almost every leading historian of early America, many of whom are Democrats and liberals who supported the impeachment of
former President Donald Trump. And now, with Hamas — a totalitarian theocratic Islamist terror
group — unleashing thousands of rockets on Israel's civilian population and Israel responding to this latest of
repeated attempts at mass murder, the world's left demands that we believe Israel is the villain and Hamas is the victim.
Rebekah
Jones, the COVID Whistleblower Who Wasn't. This is a story about Rebekah Jones, a former dashboard manager at
the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), who has single-handedly managed to convince millions of Americans that Governor Ron
DeSantis has been fudging the state's COVID-19 data. When I write "single-handedly," I mean it, for Jones is not
one of the people who have advanced this conspiracy theory but rather is the person who has advanced
this conspiracy theory. It has been repeated by others, sure: by partisans across the Internet, by unscrupulous
Florida Democrats such as Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist, and on television, by MSNBC in particular. But it flows from
a single place: Rebekah Jones. To understand that is to understand the whole game. This is about Jones,
and Jones alone. If she falls, it falls.
Dems
Comparing Modern Laws to Jim Crow: Is it Hyperbole, Ignorance, or Dishonesty? Virtually every day we see
new examples of our friends on the left overplaying their hands as they engage in wild exaggerations. They told us
Donald Trump is a Nazi. (No, he isn't, because a true Nazi leader would have thrown you in a concentration camp for
criticizing him.) They've told us if we use the 'OK' hand signal then we're White Supremacists. (No, that's been a
gesture which has been used for over a century indicating "all is well.") And they accuse us of being science-deniers
if we dare to question climate change conclusions or COVID pandemic propaganda. (Actually, we're simply demanding logic
and accountability.) But the most egregious of all modern leftist talking points may be with their practice of labeling
any law they don't like as akin to "Jim Crow." Last month, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), a man with
considerable power and without whose support Joe Biden would not have been elected, said of the controversial Georgia voting
law from earlier this year, "Just look through it and look throughout history, and you will know that what is taking place
today is a new Jim Crow, just that simple."
White
House Said There Was No Gas Shortage Before Acknowledging Problems Hours Later. The White House repeatedly
reassured Americans on Monday [5/10/2021] there was no gas shortage in the United States after the Colonial Pipeline
ransomware attack before acknowledging supply problems hours later. White House press secretary Jen Psaki brought
Homeland Security advisor Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall and Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging
Technologies Anne Neuberger to reassure Americans the Biden administration was on top of the crisis, urging Americans to
remain calm.
'Amtrak
Joe' Biden's moving story about conductor called into question. President Biden appeared to go off the rails
with a heartfelt story about reaching 1.5 million miles on Amtrak and being personally congratulated by a
conductor — after it emerged the Amtrak worker actually retired some 20 years before his story took place.
Speaking at an event in Philadelphia commemorating the 50th anniversary of Amtrak Friday [4/30/2021], Biden — an
avid rail user who earned the name "Amtrak Joe" as a senator — launched into a touching tale about hitting the
milestone in his "fourth or fifth year as vice president" as he traveled home. [...] However, Biden's emotive story doesn't
quite add up, with skeptics quickly poking holes in the commander-in-chief's long-winded account. Fox News noted that
he entered the fourth year of his vice presidency around 2013 — 20 years after Negri's obit said he had retired
from Amtrak in 1993, when Biden would have been in the Senate. Meanwhile, the president's mother, Catherine Eugenia
Finnegan, died in 2010 — years before his story allegedly took place.
MSNBC:
Don't Know How Florida Bill Will Suppress Voting, But 'A Lot of Bleeding'. MSNBC correspondent Sam Brock
admitted on Thursday's [5/6/2021] Hallie Jackson Reports that critics of Florida's new election law do not know how it
will suppress the vote, but are certain it will. After criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for excluding non-Fox
media in the signing ceremony, Brock added "I spoke with a voting law expert who said it's like 1,000 paper cuts. It's
not clear what any one of the components of S.B. 90 will actually do in terms of suppressing the vote. When you add
them all up together, it could make for a lot of bleeding when it comes to voter access, Hallie."
Biden
Is Using Lies To Divide America. The current President's record of lying is alarming. In 1998, Biden lost
his first bid for the Presidency because the media actually reported he was a repeat plagiarist. He became president
this time around at least in part because, in 2020, the mainstream media did not report his record of plagiarism. The
Democrats of today also either chose to ignore his history or did not research their candidate, instead accepting the
left-leaning media's narrative at face value. [...] As President, a couple of weeks ago Biden made a statement about
Georgia's election law[,] in which every allegation is untrue. The new law does not end voting hours early, end
early voting, place restrictions on casting absentee ballots that deny "countless voters" the right to vote, reduce the
number of polling sites, or criminalize providing water to voters waiting in line. I believe in redemption, but Biden's
behavior as a candidate and as president has not indicated he is anything but a bald-faced liar.
The Left Continues
to Destroy Itself and Others With Evidence-Free Destruction of Reputations. The leading progressive Democratic
candidate in New York City's mayoral race, City Comptroller Scott Stringer, has had his chances for victory along with his
reputation utterly destroyed over the last week. That happened due to allegations from a political consultant, Jean
Kim, that Stringer groped her eighteen years ago, in 2003. Despite no evidence presented that any of this happened, and
despite this being the only assault accusation ever voiced about Stringer during his decades in public life, and despite Kim
never having once claimed any of this even when she was working for a rival candidate who was ultimately defeated in 2013 by
Stringer, and despite the sudden emergence of this accusation as Stringer's mayoral campaign was surging, and despite
evidence showing that Kim was highly misleading in several of her statements, and despite Stringer's claims that Kim had been
his girlfriend for several months accompanied by vehement denials of wrongdoing, numerous leftist groups and politicians who
had endorsed him repudiated his candidacy within days of the emergence of this allegation, issuing statements which
treat Kim's claims as proven truth and depict Stringer as a vile sexual predator. That is because, as has been seen
repeatedly, the prevailing mentality in left-liberal politics is that even grave life-destroying accusations are to be
treated as true without the need for any evidence.
USA
Today's publisher Gannett apologizes after being caught helping Stacey Abrams hide encouragement for Georgia losing the
All-Star Game. The largest publisher of newspapers in the United States by total circulation has been caught
red-handed engaging in Orwellian rewriting of history to help Stacey Abrams hide her promotion of the boycott of her home
state of Georgia by the MLB all-Star Game. Ms. Abrams is regarded as a savior by many on the left, even future
presidential material, and is even excused for delusionally claiming to be the actual elected governor of Georgia after
losing that race by tens of thousands of votes, despite the left's new dogma pronouncing it a crime against democracy to
question the legitimacy of Joe Biden's election. Her promotion of the doctrine of Black "voter suppression" when IDs
are required for voting, and her energetic promotion of registration and vote gathering efforts by Democrats have given her a
status as an untouchable goddess, apparently. Even as Black registration and turnout in Georgia put the lie to the
suppression narrative.
The
Actual Number of Unarmed Black Men Shot and Killed By Police Every Year Will Blow Liberals' Minds. In nearly every case, a
suspect was wanted by police and threatening circumstances gave rise to an unfortunate police shooting.
• Daunte Wright had a warrant out for his arrest for aggravated armed robbery of a woman and unlawful possession of a firearm. He resisted arrest and attempted to flee in a vehicle before being shot.
• Contrary to misleading reports that he was 'unarmed,' Jacob Blake admitted that he was armed with a knife.
• 13-year-old Adam Toledo was armed and gun residue was found on his hand. He tossed a 9mm Ruger moments before being shot.
• Michael Brown fought with a police officer for his gun. He later advanced despite being told to freeze. 'Hands up, don't shoot' is a lie.
• Laquan McDonald had a knife in his hand. He was suspected of committing robbery. He punctured the tires of a police cruiser following him and smashed its windshield.
• Tamir Rice had a toy gun that was mistaken for a real one. A grand jury decided it was an accident and did not bring charges. The family is now pleading for the DOJ to reopen the closed case.
Even if one concludes that these police shootings were wrong, the cases are a lot grayer than the mainstream media often portrays. The radical activist left has nonetheless weaponized these people's tragic stories to push a truly dangerous agenda: Defunding the police.
The
Left's Orwellian Perversion of Language. Whether operating in academia, the media, social justice movements, or
the Democrat party, the left has stifled free speech and intimidated Americans into submission (as we've seen in corporate
America and professional sports) through its cancel culture and lies (Russia collusion, Russian bounties, Russian
disinformation). It's achieving its goals through the perversion of language to control society. This is nothing
new. Recall the days when the world was going to end from "global warming." When that prediction failed, the left
devised the term "climate change," understanding that any weather event would easily fall under that reimagined term.
As expected, every weather event is now used as an excuse for government and progressives to decry human consumption of
energy and limit our freedoms.
Kristen Clarke,
Bigot and Liar. Having sworn to answer all questions truthfully, in an appearance Wednesday before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division offered a series
of answers that strained credulity and veered into outright falsehood. The most bald-faced of the lies Kristen Clarke
offered in her own defense relates to her activism while a Harvard University undergraduate in the 1990s. Pressed about
a 1994 letter published in the Harvard Crimson making the case that blacks are intellectually and physically superior
to whites, Clarke waved it off as a "satirical" attempt to refute The Bell Curve, which came out the same year.
Everybody knew she was joking, she said, when she wrote that "black infants sit, stand, crawl and walk sooner than whites,"
and, in a demonstration of scholarly rigor, pointed to the work of the writer Carol Barnes to assert that "human mental
processes are controlled by melanin — that same chemical which gives Blacks their superior physical and mental
abilities." The letter concluded: "It is completely naive to say that Blacks have achieved economic equality with
whites. It seems that whites have grown tired of hearing about racism." Was that a joke, too?
January 6 Is
the New Russiagate Lie. The Russiagate scandal, for lack of a better term, revealed to the general public the
seamless compact between the Democratic Party, major news organizations, and powerful government agencies. Partisan
operatives — be they ruthless DNC lawyers, paid spin masters, or former British spies — easily accessed
the country's influential decision makers to seed storylines targeting their political foes. Narratives were shaped
with all the right terms, then dutifully recited by congressional leaders and media mouthpieces. Those on the other
side taking incoming fire barely had a chance to see what was coming, let alone to respond with equal force. Later,
when the facts finally came out and the bad actors both behind the scenes and in front of the cameras were revealed as
shameless frauds, no one was held accountable. And a sizable chunk of Americans continues to believe all the
falsehoods because disowning them would vindicate people they unreasonably despise.
Pete
Buttigieg called out by Chris Wallace (!) on lies about phony 'infrastructure' bill. I am not a big fan of
Chris Wallace of Fox News, but to his credit he called BS on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg yesterday [4/11/2021] in
an eight-and-a-half-minute interview on Fox News Sunday, even while letting the biggest lie pass with no
comment. Wallace let slide the most egregious misrepresentation, that less than 10% of the multi-trillion dollar
so-called "infrastructure" bill for which Buttigieg has become a point man is dedicated to genuine infrastructure —
roads, bridges, airports and the power grid. That was not of interest to Wallace. There are limits to his willingness to
challenge progressives. In fact, Wallace has adopted a new expression, "hard infrastructure," to talk about genuine infrastructure,
so as to leave open the use of the term "infrastructure" for the sort of nonsense notoriously spouted by Kirsten Gillibrand.
Fellow
Coloradans, let's boycott the boycotters. Joe Biden lied. And then he lied about lying. And then
his press secretary lied about him lying about lying. [...] What Biden lied about this time was the Georgia voting law.
He said it was a Jim Crow law. He said it closed the polls at 5 pm, right as people got off work, and he objected to
the requirement for a photo ID. He said it discriminates against black voters, as if white voters don't work till 5 pm and
black voters don't have ID's. It was all a lie. The law doesn't close the polls at 5 pm at all. In fact, it
codifies what was earlier just an informal and inconsistent tradition of keeping them open till 7 pm in most counties.
As for photo ID's, that requirement has consistently been upheld by the Supreme Court even back in the days that the Court
leaned left. In any event, studies show that photo ID requirements do not in fact impact blacks disproportionately.
The only persons disproportionately impacted by photo ID laws are voters who aren't who they say they are. Democrats
know that such criminals overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
Notorious
Anti-Trump doctor claims black-on-Asian crime occurs because of 'white supremacy'. Prominent anti-Trump doctor
Eugene Gu claims that black-on-Asian crimes only occur because of "white supremacy" in America. "Black on Asian crimes
only occur because of our system of white supremacy that strips African Americans of their economic opportunities while
taking respect and dignity away from Asian Americans," tweeted Gu this week. "Also, white people in power are experts
at dividing and conquering to stay in power." A series of anti-Asian hate crimes have surfaced across the country,
sparking the #StopAsianHate movement. The political left has blamed "whiteness" when convenient, such as the recent
string of Atlanta spa shootings when six Asian women were shot dead among the eight victims killed. However, the uptick
in widespread assaults against civilians of Asian heritage points to black assailants.
Past
Time to Fight Back. This week, on the basis of whole-cloth lies, major corporations went to political war with
the state of Georgia. The lies at issue revolved around Georgia's new voter law, characterized by both Stacey Abrams
and President Joe Biden as a new form of Jim Crow. What do these dastardly new voter restrictions do? They
require an ID number to receive an absentee ballot, with language identical to that of federal law; they bar electioneering
within 150 feet of a polling place or 25 feet of voters in line, including handing out food or water for partisan purposes;
they increase the number of mandatory days of weekend early voting; they preserve some drop boxes that did not exist before
the pandemic; they require additional voting machines and election personnel in crowded precincts; they increase voting hours
in future elections for the vast majority of counties. These provisions are similar to the laws in a vast majority of
states. That didn't stop Democrats and the media from simply lying about the Georgia voting law. While some in
the media did point out that Biden had lied about the law's supposed crackdown on voting hours, nobody in the media treated
his "Jim Crow" contentions with the sneering disrespect they so richly deserved.
Media,
Politicians Still Spreading the 'Big Lie' About Officer Sicknick. Three months ago this week, Capitol police
officer Brian Sicknick, 42, died. The 12-year veteran of the force passed away the day after hundreds of Trump
supporters mobbed the Capitol to protest Congress' certification of the 2020 Electoral College. The United States
Capitol Police department issued a statement on January 7, just hours after he died. "Officer Brian D.
Sicknick passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty," the press release read. "Officer Sicknick was responding
to the riots on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol and was injured while physically engaging with
protesters. He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed
to his injuries." Sicknick's death is a central rallying cry to bolster the narrative that the events of January 6
amounted to a "deadly insurrection" and the perpetrators must be punished accordingly. To produce compelling optics,
Sicknick's remains lay in state in the Capitol rotunda — a somber memorial attended by Joe Biden and his wife as
well as lawmakers from both political parties — the weekend before House Democrats launched their second
impeachment trial of Donald Trump.
White
House Claims Bills Are 'Bipartisan' Even If No Republican Votes For Them. Joe Biden is going to get "unity."
He will get it even if he has to just make stuff up. Case in point: bills proposed by a Democratic president,
rammed through Congress by Democratic lawmakers, and voted on exclusively by Democrats are actually "bipartisan" according to
the White House. Biden campaigned and took office as the "unity" president. A noble aspiration, to be sure.
The only problem is that no Republicans have actually voted for any of his grandiose schemes. The trillions of dollars
of debt he is adding to the balance sheet is Democratic Party debt. But the White House believes that Biden's giveaways
are popular and that many Republicans love getting government goodies just as much as Democrats. How does the White
House know this? Polls, of course.
White
House still lying about what Georgia's election law says. A leftover from yesterday but one that shouldn't go
by the boards. Not only is Biden consistently lying in interviews about what Georgia's bill does to early-voting hours
across the state, Jen Psaki backed up the lie at Thursday's press briefing. WaPo fact-checker Glenn Kessler is getting
exasperated: "It's hard for any White House to admit error, especially when the president has three times repeated the
falsehood," he tweeted last night. "But this is becoming a pretty deep hole." This is more than just not wanting
to admit error, though. This is a full-court press by Democrats to demagogue the new law as Jim Crow 2.0 in order to
put pressure on the filibuster fans in their own Senate caucus to push H.R. 1 through. Lying to make the law sound
worse than it is remains a key part of that strategy.
Gaslighting:
How Leftist Psychopaths Demonize And Demoralize Their Opposition. [Scroll down] If you operate on the
assumption that these groups are lying to you most of the time then you will find yourself on the right side of
history. That said, there are questions we need to ask ourselves if we ever hope to change the world for the better and
remove these liars from power: Why do they lie? Why has this become a rule to live by? And, how are they
able to lie and get away with it so often? Well, it's not because power corrupts. That cliché might be
true to a point, but I think it's a way for people to dismiss the bigger problem because they are afraid to address the ugly
truth. The reality is, power does not necessarily corrupt; it's that the corrupt seek out power. Governments and
other mainstream institutions always lie because psychopathic liars always infiltrate and overrun them. We have very
few checks in place to prevent this, and very little is understood about psychopaths in the general public.
The
10 Radical New Rules That Are Changing America. [#6] Hypocrisy is passe. Virtue-signaling is alive.
Climate change activists fly on private jets. Social justice warriors live in gated communities. Multibillionaire
elitists pose as victims of sexism, racism, and homophobia. The elite need these exemptions to help the helpless.
It is what you say to lesser others about how to live, not how you yourself live, that matters.
Biden
hits the dishonesty jackpot with claims about Georgia voting law. The Washington Post has awarded Joe Biden
four Pinocchios (the max) for a patently false claim he made about the new Georgia law on voting. Biden said the
following during a press conference: ["]What I'm worried about is how un-American this whole initiative
is. It's sick. It's sick ... deciding that you're going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are
just getting off work.["] Two days later, he followed up with this official statement: ["]Among
the outrageous parts of this new state law, it ends voting hours early so working people can't cast their vote after their
shift is over.["] But the Georgia law does no such thing. Biden, or whoever feeds him his material,
is just making it up.
Truth
and Reconciliation Commission? Let's Start with Kavanaugh. Here in the US, two bills have already been
introduced for similar "truth" panels. The first comes from Rep. Barbara Lee and Sen. Cory Booker. The
investigative body would be called the Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation. The senator who spent
years lying about a made-up junkie in Newark called "T-Bone" now wants to sponsor a new commission on truth. The second
bill for a "truth commission" would focus on "Native American boarding school policy, which was designed to forcibly assimilate
Indigenous children into the dominant culture." The bill creating this panel charged with finding and confessing the
"truth" regarding Native Americans is sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Let me repeat that so
everyone gets it: Elizabeth Warren wants a commission on truth and reconciliation regarding Native Americans.
Clearly, the whole idea of the United States government daring to assemble a body to investigate and reveal "the truth" as
delivered to us by a bunch of lying, corrupt politicians is insulting and laughable.
Democrats
cannot erase the history or hypocrisy of the Senate filibuster. President Biden came out Thursday against the
Senate filibuster as a "relic of the Jim Crow period." It is now a virtual mantra on Capitol Hill that the filibuster is
synonymous with racism and anyone supporting it is presumptively racist. That point was noted by MSNBC host Al
Sharpton, who threatened to denounce senators as racists if they support the rule. The only thing more impressive than
this historical revisionism is the political revisionism underlying this new campaign. The filibuster is historically
more a "relic" of the Julius Caesar era than the Jim Crow era. In ancient Rome, the filibuster was used to force the
senate to hear dissenting voices, including Cato the Younger's opposition to Julius Caesar's return to Rome in 60 B.C.
The foundation for the filibuster here can be traced to an argument of former Vice President Aaron Burr that led to an 1806
rule change. Throughout our history, senators in the minority used different versions of the rule to block or force
compromises on controversial legislation, ranging from war measures to oil regulations. It was not created during or
for the Jim Crow period.
Joe
Biden's sorriest press conference lies. [Scroll down] There's also Biden's claim that Republicans are
trying to limit voting rights to Americans, through such supposedly outrageous measures such as requiring voter ID, ending
same day registration voting, purging voter rolls of dead people, sharing data between states about people registered to vote
in multiple states, restoring election day over election season, and prohibiting ballot-harvesting. He called it
'sick,' 'despicable,' and 'un-American,' and naturally, was projecting. Biden alluded to Democrats' masterplan to rig
U.S. elections the same way they are rigged in one-party blue state California in the infamous bill that passed in the House,
H.R.1, and sought to whip up support for it through false narratives to be repeated by the beating flippers of the trained
seal press.
Biden
Unhinged: Calls Attempts To Stop Election Fraud 'Sick' And 'Un-American'. "Un-American." "Sick."
"Despicable." What got President Joe Biden in such a lather? Was it the children packed liked sardines at border
detention facilities? The recent mass shootings? China's human rights abuses? Nope. Biden flew off
the handle over the fact that several states are taking steps to reform their election laws in ways he doesn't like.
"What I'm worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It's sick," he said. "It's sick ... deciding
in some states that you can't bring water to people standing in line waiting to vote. Deciding you're going to end
voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work. Deciding that there will be no absentee ballots
under the most rigid circumstances." "The Republican voters I know find this despicable," he added later.
"Republican voters."
Unity
Watch: How Joe Biden's Ego and Insecurity Could Break a Deeply Divided Nation. Joe Biden sold the
American people a bill of goods in 2020. He is not a moderate, and he will make his mark no matter what damage it does to our
institutions, traditions, or country. Biden is not even a Trojan horse for the radical Left. He is leading the
charge to transform the country. [...] Biden said he was not going to ban fracking, yet he did. He also said he did not
support eliminating the filibuster. Yet, Biden may do all of this for no reason other than the ego bump of outdoing his
former boss as a truly "transformational" president.
Truth
And Lies In A Digital Media Era. Those in the media who speak to us and desire to control us, but still want to
avoid outright lies, do so by shading the truth, offering spin, or using phrases such as, "it's my opinion", "as I remember
it" and, the chart-topper, "at this point why does it matter?". They know they operate in an environment where falsehoods and
misrepresentations can take root before there is an opportunity to measure the validity of allegations or assertions.
Such liars know the truth but deform and simulate it. [...] We live in a time when the bulk of our fellow citizens have been
indoctrinated rather than educated. Rather than learning facts — including relatively objective
history — they are encouraged to think of themselves in terms of relationships to one another. What is
important to them is what is trending in digital social media and who the influencers of the moment are. Status comes
from horizontal acclaim. Digital social networks have replaced real social networks. This leads to a society
adrift, with people desperate to have someone to guide them. Mainstream news organizations and digital social media
platform providers seek to fill this need.
Joe
Biden 'Will Always Tell You The Truth' (Except About COVID Vaccine, Economy, Border Crisis ...). Almost exactly
a year ago, then-candidate Joe Biden promised something that many apparently believed. "I'll always tell you the
truth," he said. "This is the responsibility of a president. That's what is owed the American people." So
how is Biden doing on that promise? Not very well, when you consider his inability to tell the truth about the COVID-19
vaccine, the economic rebound already underway, or the border crisis. Biden won't tell the truth about the first two
because he'd have to credit President Donald Trump. And he won't tell the truth about the border crisis because he
himself is entirely to blame for it. Biden has repeatedly claimed that when he got to the White House, there was no
plan in place to distribute the vaccine and that the credit for the widespread distribution all belongs to him.
Say it ain't
so, Joe. To those just waking up from a year-long coma, it would appear that the pandemic had gotten underway
on January 20, that the first six weeks of the Biden administration had put the country on a war footing, developed and
distributed lifesaving vaccines out of thin air, and staffed up the means to inject them. Biden prides himself in
blaming COVID deaths on former President Donald Trump, always anxious to produce and wave around a pocket cue card as
proof. When Trump first acted in late January 2020, shutting down flights from the Orient in order to slow the rate of
infection, Biden took to the podium to accuse him of xenophobia and hysteria. [...] The first Americans to be vaccinated
received their immunization on December 14, 2020, a month before Biden took office. Biden and Harris, who foreswore her
opposition to receive a Trump vaccine, received their inoculations before the inauguration. It was a well-publicized
event Biden later denied or forgot during a February CNN town hall claiming there was no vaccine when he took office.
Truths,
oaths, and affirmations. Over the past four years, we have been asked to believe many lies, some small, some
big, and some of immense consequence. To recall just a few: The Russia hoax, Covington Catholic, Brett Kavanaugh,
and BLM. For many of us, these lies have been exposed and discredited, but for many of our neighbors, co-workers, and friends
they are unchallenged buttresses of their worldview. Why, despite all the evidence to the contrary, do these lies
persist among so many people? The answer is that the emotions associated with them persist. Many people feel
that Russian collusion is real, Covington Catholics kids are racist, Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist, and BLM is
standing up against a racist structure that murders unarmed black men. Their emotions define their reality.
Joy
Behar: Antifa [is] 'an idea,' [and] 'not a real thing'. "The View" co-host Joy Behar claimed Monday
[3/15/2021] that Antifa is "an idea" and "not a real thing" during a heated discussion with co-host Meghan McCain.
During an on-air discussion about the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot, Ms. McCain noted the ongoing Antifa-led riots in
Portland, Oregon, and how the left-wing, so-called "anti-fascist" movement has a history of property destruction and violence
against law enforcement. "Antifa does exist," Ms. McCain said. "What separates Antifa is their willingness
to use violence. I have very good friends who have been reporting on Antifa for months, and months, and months. ... The
idea that Antifa doesn't exist is just factually inaccurate and wrong and a lie."
The Legends of Our Fall.
[Scroll down] Joe Biden, first vaccinated on December 21, claimed no American was vaccinated until he took office on
January 20 ("It's one thing to have the vaccine — which we didn't have when we came into office"). He quickly took
ownership of the once ridiculed Operation Warp Speed and blamed Trump for not producing quickly enough vaccinations that Biden had
doubted would even appear in 2020. Never have the facts of a pandemic in American history become more politicized and warped by
the media for political advantage.
Mark
Meadows slams Biden for attacking Trump, taking credit for vaccines in primetime address. Former White House
chief of staff Mark Meadows slammed President Biden on Friday [3/12/2021] for taking credit for the coronavirus vaccines in
his primetime address. During an appearance on "America's Newsroom," Meadows criticized Biden for attacking former
President Trump over his coronavirus response and taking credit for vaccines created under the previous administration.
Meadows said he found it "interesting," that Biden would attempt to take credit for the vaccine, created under Operation Warp
Speed, given that Biden received his own coronavirus vaccination while Trump was still in office.
When
Minorities Vote GOP, the Media Smears Republicans as Racists. In just one week, the Washington Post
churned out two op-eds on the same theme, "The GOP is Now Just the Party of White Grievance" and "The Republican Party is
Making Jim Crow Segregationists Proud". The D.C. Democrat paper doesn't bother clarifying why Democrats from two
generations ago would be thrilled that 1 in 5 black men voted for President Trump. Ever since the election, the
media has been beating its narrative drum with one message. CNN howls that Republicans are the worst racists. The
New York Times insists they're even more racist than that. And MSNBC will counter that only white racists would
vote Republican.
The Progressive Imaginarium.
"T-Bone" lives in the progressive Imaginarium. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) conjured him up as his fake pal from the
'hood. The "Bone" would now and then materialize to prep the yuppie Booker on his street cred. "T" was the
umbilical cord of authenticity with the underprivileged black community for Booker — the vegetarian, Rhodes
scholar, Stanford- and Yale-educated, privileged child of two IBM executives. [...] It's crowded there with Native American
tribal elder Elizabeth Warren, Latino Hilaria Baldwin, wife of Alec, black activist Rachel Dolezal, Native American medicine
man Ward Churchill — and robust dynamic hands-on president Joe Biden, who has yet to give a press conference or an
unscripted talk. What explains this packed house of left-wing fantasies?
Capitol
Wall for Me, No Southern Border Wall for Thee. Following the science is a big one that we've seen Democrats
flout for years. While they scare the country into submission lest climate change destroy the world in a few years,
they fly in their private jets around the globe dictating the climate change rules that everyone else must follow.
Science prescribes that schools are safe to open and should be open for the health and welfare of students. Democrats'
benefactors, the teachers' unions, don't like that idea, so Democrat leaders send their kids to private schools while the
rest of the nations' children suffer and fall behind. Science dictates that there are two sexes, yet Democrats impose
their bizarre notion on the 99.4% of the country who are not transgender that "gender identity" is fluid. They rule
that boys may compete against girls in women-only sports programs while also using female bathrooms and locker rooms.
One of the vilest Democrat policies is legislating abortion on demand up to delivery. More recently, Democrats have
stepped into the untenable position of insisting on spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a seemingly permanent (and
hideous) fence around the Capitol Building while defunding and shutting down construction of our southern border wall.
Bait and switch: How
Senators Warnock and Ossoff Voted to Hurt Georgia and Help New York and California. Georgia voters who helped
turn this state blue, for now, should feel cheated. President Biden came to campaign for Senator Raphael Warnock and
Senator Jon Ossoff in the runoff elections. Biden told you to vote for these men in his stump speech if you wanted
$2000 stimulus checks. How is that going for those of you who believed it? Now the stimulus checks are $1400 and
get smaller at higher incomes until they disappear.
Contrary to Biden's Executive
Orders, There Is No Climate Crisis. The Biden administration has hit the ground running, issuing more than 50
executive orders in its first three weeks. Many of these orders have been aimed at reversing the environmental policies
of the preceding administration. The United States is back under the strictures of the Paris climate accord, for
instance, and the Keystone XL pipeline is now canceled. With the stroke of a pen, President Biden has put thousands of
people out of work and halted the development of new oil and gas activity on federal lands. A week after the inauguration,
another executive order made climate change an essential part of not only U.S. foreign policy but also national security policy.
But none of this economic carnage or policy misdirection was necessary. These executive actions assume that the planet has little
time left to avoid catastrophic change. But since the late 19th century, the global average temperature has risen a mere
1.2 degrees to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In addition, even if the goals of the Paris accord are met, global temperature
increases would still only be on the order of 1.0 degree Celsius or so by the year 2100 — and that is being
generous with the models.
Google
and Urban Dictionary censor 'Blue Anon' following widespread mockery of left-wing conspiracy theories. The life
of new term "Blue Anon" in the online Urban Dictionary was short-lived. After emerging on social media and landing in a
spot in the slang-term glossary on Saturday, it was quickly purged. A Google search brings up nothing on the term other
than brand name ski gear. Jack Posobiec pointed out the deletion from Urban Dictionary: "I have never even heard
of a word being banned from Urban Dictionary before the banned Blue Anon." A search of the dictionary for the term comes
up short. editor Ian Miles Cheong was the first to notice the disappearance of the term from a
Google search.
Blue
Anon, leftist Q-type conspiracy theory, sweeps the nation as Big Tech buries it. On March 6th, Blue Anon was
added to the Urban Dictionary; by Sunday March 7th, the listing had been removed. Additionally, if readers wish to
research Blue Anon, don't use Google; Google won't display any search results for the term that's obviously triggered
leftsists. [...] If readers want to learn more about Blue Anon, they will have to utilize Duck Duck Go or a darker search
engine; the media is working hard to erase the term itself. Before Google and Facebook scrubbed the internet of Blue
Anon, the most popular Blue Anon incidents of the last year were recounted by Michael Savage as part of the conspiratorial
movement. • Russia Hoax • Jussie Smollett hoax • Ukraine
hoax • Covington kids hoax • Brett Kavanaugh hoax The largest conspiracy
perpetrated by Blue Anon's this year, however, is the idea that conservatives are plotting mass riots and a hostile takeover
of the US Capitol, while BLM riots rage on across the country.
Psaki
Doubles Down: Says Biden Deserves Full Vaccine Credit, Suggests Trump Responsible For 'Half A Million'
Deaths. Now that several states are rolling back COVID restrictions and mask orders by citing the distribution
of the vaccines, the Biden regime is determined to hog the credit to itself. Rather than take the high road by giving
former President Trump some credit for setting vaccine production in motion with Operation Warp Speed, Biden's team is
refusing to acknowledge the efforts of his predecessor who was faced with a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. Earlier this
week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki oozed contempt for Trump during her daily presser when asked by a reporter
whether the Biden should acknowledge the contributions of his predecessor.
'Blue
Anon' Strikes a Nerve — Naturally, Big Tech Is Trying to Censor It. A new term has entered the
political lexicon in recent months, and it appears to have left-wing activists sputtering with rage. Conservatives on
social media have been using "Blue Anon" to describe Democrats who believe in various government-sanctioned conspiracy
theories, leading some on the Left to attempt to censor the potent term. The very first sighting of "Blue Anon" on
Twitter was in August 2018, according to the pseudonymous Twitter user "Max Nordau." Aaron Maté, a left-wing
investigative journalist, and the Federalist's Mollie Hemingway helped popularize the term two years later.
Conservatives snicker
as Urban Dictionary censors term 'BLUE ANON,' the hot new label for left-wing conspiracy theorists.
Conservatives chalked up a victory in the battleground of pejorative labels, concluding that the trending 'Blue Anon'
branding of left-wing conspiracy theorists is sufficiently stinging after the term earned censorship bona fides. The
term made it into the online Urban Dictionary of slang words and phrases earlier this week, only to be removed by
Sunday. A search of the term, a play on 'QAnon' that has been used increasingly in recent months to mock leftists, now
comes up empty. Previously, the dictionary showed a definition for Blue Anon, noting that it's "a loosely organized
network of Democrat voters, politicians and media personalities who spread left-wing conspiracy theories, such as the Russia
hoax, Jussie Smollett hoax, Ukraine hoax, Covington kids hoax and Brett Kavanaugh hoax." Conservatives interpreted the
attempted disappearing of Blue Anon as a sign of success. "Wokies at Urban Dictionary zapped Blue Anon because it was
too powerful," journalist Jack Posobiec said Sunday on Twitter. Others predicted a 'Streisand effect', when attempts to
hide something inadvertently bring more attention and interest to it.
The Editor says...
Maybe that's why it has been restored on Urban Dictionary. (See below.)
A
Step Forward — Adding "Blue Anon" to the Political Lexicon to Stigmatize Idiot Pundits on the Left.
All conservatives have lived for years with the media stigmatizing every non-Democrat/liberal point of view with being
somehow sympathetic to "QAnon" — whatever that might be. Whatever "QAnon" began as — someone with
a "Q" level security clearance who began posting provocative conspiracy theories on the internet about the "Deep State"
suggesting they had some form of inside information is the best I've ever been able to pin down its origins — it
was transmogrified by the left-wing media establishment into some "catch-all" classification for all non-conformist political
and social conservative movement adherents that had to be expressly disavowed in order to be accepted into polite political
commentary. The "worst" of the "QAnon" conspiracy traffickers were hung around the necks of all conservatives who might
have found some aspects of the non-mainstream conspiracy viewpoints as interesting and worthy of consideration and debate.
New term 'Blue Anon' [was] invented
to describe Democrats' nutty conspiracy theories. Many Republicans' theories that are a little bit "out there"
have been lumped together under QAnon. Now, people can do the same for people on the other side of the political fence
by calling them "Blue Anon". "Blue Anon" has been officially entered into Urban Dictionary. Urban Dictionary is
the number one go-to site for researching slang terms in the English language. Contained within the Urban Dictionary
definition are many of the top conspiracy theories bought into frequently by registered Democrats.

FBI
Investigation Finds No Evidence Any Republican Member of Congress Aided Capitol Rioters but the Damage Is Done.
The last of the Capitol rioters had barely vacated the premises when Nancy Pelosi's allies began slandering their Republican
colleagues, claiming that Republican members of Congress had taken an active role in permitting the demonstrators... indeed,
if they were BLM demonstrators, we would be calling them "peaceful"... to enter the Capitol. Baseless allegations were
made that some Republican members of Congress allowed rioters to enter the Capitol by having them issued visitor's passes.
Merrick
Garland Testifies That Antifa Attacks Against Portland Federal Courthouse Probably Not Domestic Terrorism.
During Merrick Garland Senate Judiciary Confirmation hearing earlier today [2/22/2021], Garland testified that Antifa
violence against law enforcement at the Portland Federal Courthouse may not be domestic terrorism since it happened at
night. His rationale appears to be that there was no intent to disrupt government or threaten lives, however the
courthouse is occupied 24/7.
Insurrection, 2016.
The Democrats' pompous characterization of the mini-riot at the Capitol on January 6 as an "insurrection" is a transparent
political ploy. The idea of appointing a "9/11-style" commission to investigate a riot in which no one was killed or
seriously injured by the rioters is self-refuting. How about a "9/11-style" commission to investigate the murders of
Trump supporters in Portland and Denver during the campaign? Or the people who died in the Minneapolis riots?
That would make more sense. Actually, if you want to talk about insurrection, the violence and violent rhetoric that
the Democratic Party marshaled after Donald Trump's election in 2016 more nearly fits the definition.
Judge
Orders Biden State Department to Turn Over Psaki Email Pertaining to Big Iran Lie. [Scroll down] Fox then
later discovered that exchange between [Jen] Psaki and [James] Rosen then mysteriously edited out from the video on the State
Department's official website and Youtube channel. Eight minutes including that part and other comments on the Iran
Deal were replaced with a white-flash effect. The Obama Administration initially denied it was deliberate, blaming it
on a "glitch." But they later were forced to admit that the very same day of the comments, a video editor got a call from
a State Department official to eliminate that portion of the briefing from the video. But don't worry, even though it
was deliberately done and they lied about it being a glitch, they don't lie, said John Kirby, by then the State Department
spokesperson. Nor did they think it was important to figure out who ordered it to be edited because "there were no
rules in place" about such things at the time.
Media Memoryholes
the Sicknick Story. During his Senate testimony, FBI Director Christopher Wray publicly admitted his agency
does not know how Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died. "We're not at a point where we can disclose or confirm
the cause of death," Wray, clearly uncomfortable, told Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday morning [3/2/2021].
Unfortunately, no one on the Senate Judiciary Committee confronted Wray with the now-retracted story that Officer Sicknick
was murdered by Trump supporters using a fire extinguisher. Republicans missed a golden opportunity not just to expose
the New York Times' primary role in seeding the bogus account but also to confront their Democratic colleagues who
voted to convict Donald Trump partially based on the notion his comments on January 6 led to the death of a police
officer. "The insurrectionists killed a Capitol Police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher,"
according to the House Democrats' impeachment memo. But suddenly, the news media have lost all interest in what
happened to Sicknick. After nonstop coverage — including somber videos of the police procession in his honor
and a memorial in the Capitol Rotunda, attended by Joe Biden, just days before the impeachment trial began in
February — major news organizations have memoryholed the initial account about the fire extinguisher; some
apparently have forgotten about Sicknick altogether.
Ron
Johnson Gets FBI to Admit That No Firearms Were Seized During the Capitol Riot. Ever since the riot in the US
Capitol on January 6, we have struggled to find out exactly what happened there. As time goes on, we are finding that
just about everything we were told about that event is false. We know, for instance, that one of the rioters, the one
who took the video of the execution of Ashli Babbitt, was on the payroll of CNN and NBC, see ["]Leftist Videographer John
Sullivan Was Paid by Major Media Organizations for Footage of the Capitol Unrest["]. We know that Capitol Police
officer Brian Sicknick was not beaten to death, and we also know that nearly two months after his death, the FBI still
refuses to give a cause of death or charge anyone with a crime, see ["]FBI Director Wray Is Asked About Brian Sicknick's
Cause of Death, His Response Is Just Not Acceptable["]. We know there were no "kill teams" looking for Mike Pence or
anyone else. We know the guys with zip ties picked them up from where Capitol Police dropped them. We have yet to
see any evidence that any member of Congress or senator aided the rioters.
Merrick
Garland Is in the Dark about Antifa. [Scroll down] Seriously, if you watched only the carefully curated
national news, you'd have gotten the impression that (a) Antifa doesn't exist; (b) Antifa is a civic betterment movement
led by the public-spirited Wall of Moms; and (c) The peaceful protesters of Antifa were the Gandhi-like victims of Trumpian
brutality. On the other hand, some of us who are Pacific time zone night owls watched hundreds of Andy Ngo videos of
what was happening in Seattle and Portland during the wee hours long after the national media had called a lid on their
coverage of the Peaceful Protests. In Ngo's simple video footage, the Antifada sure looked extremist and terrorizing.
A culture of lies.
Almost everything you are being told to believe by the mainstream media is a lie. The legacy media has long since
chosen sides and will brazenly cover up anything that could reflect poorly on Democrats, yet will assiduously traffic in any
and all innuendo, hearsay, and slander that they feel will harm Republicans/conservatives/Trump supporters. They
gleefully promulgate prevarication in their unending quest to damage Democrats' political opponents. Hatred-addled
late night television hosts compete to see who can spout the most ignorant inanities. Colleges and universities
no longer care about providing their students a well-rounded, classical education. They care only of indoctrinating
them into the anti-West, anti-capitalist, anti-Christian ideology of multiculturalism and Critical Race Theory, or CRT.
Big, multinational corporations now reflexively parrot the false rot emanating from Big Academia. And Big Tech now silences,
stifles and cancels anyone who believes in the founding principles of the United States, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights.
Democracy
has already been undermined by the Left's behavior since 2016. [Scroll down] Over-caffeinated
twenty-somethings trolling social media from anonymous office buildings in St. Petersburg (the Russian original, not
the one with the MLB team) really don't have the power to steer the American vote with memes and illiterate blog posts that
do nothing more than reflect sentiments Americans already hold. Being scared about this, feeling "democracy" to be
undermined by it, requires imagining that it's happening. It's not even clear it ever really did. Sure, memes
were posted on social media by "inauthentic" accounts, if we can believe Facebook and Twitter. Let's stipulate to that
so we can move on. But it turned out in 2016 that hardly any of this trolling fare posted by Russian actors was seen
before the U.S. election. Your vote can't be influenced by something you haven't even seen.
Gaslighting
Biden White House Calls COVID Bill With Zero GOP Support "Bipartisan". Democrats love to redefine words to suit
their purposes, and the latest example of this from the Biden White House is a doozy. They are reportedly calling the
Democrat-only support for Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID (aka the Pelosi Payoff) bill "bipartisan." Both Democrats and
Republicans have long abused the word, of course. Legislation passed with a mere handful of — or even only
one or two — opposition party votes is hailed as "bipartisan" because politicians understand that a good segment
of the American people prefer legislation that is not rammed through by one party. The Biden White House is taking this
one step further.
The Shame
of Joe Biden. Politicians are not, in general, renowned for honesty. Spin is universal and exaggeration
goes with the territory. But actual lying — [...] about an important public issue — is relatively
uncommon. Unless we are talking about Joe Biden. During the campaign, Biden absurdly alleged that President Trump
had mishandled the COVID epidemic, and therefore had murdered the several hundred thousand Americans who allegedly died from
that disease. The theory was that if Trump had done something differently [...] the U.S. would have been the only
country on Earth with zero Wuhan deaths. Reporters went along with Biden's fantasy. Since his inauguration, Biden
has continued his assault on his predecessor by claiming, repeatedly, that little was going on with regard to vaccinations
until he took office, and that the Trump administration "had no plan" to effectuate vaccinations. This, too, is a [...]
lie. Biden repeated it today [2/25/2021].
The Government
Censors Are Here. Congressional Democrats are demanding to know what communications giants such as Comcast and
AT&T are going to do about "the spread of dangerous misinformation." How quickly this country is descending into an
authoritarian regime where the government controls speech and the flow of information. Ahead of a House Energy and
Commerce Committee hearing Wednesday [2/24/2021], California Democratic Reps. Anna G. Eshoo and Jerry McNerney wrote
a letter to Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox, Altice, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Hulu. According to the
New York Times, which says it has reviewed the correspondence, the pair is not pleased that "the cable, satellite and
over-the-top companies that disseminate these media outlets" — likely referring to Fox News, One America News
Network, and Newsmax — "have done nothing in response to the misinformation aired by these outlets."
The Editor says...
Late-night TV "comedians" spread "dangerous misinformation" and nobody's trying to silence them. John Kerry says
we only have nine years left to avoid a climate catastrophe. That's dangerous misinformation,
too. CNN is a fountain of misinformation. Several
other "mainstream" news outlets are, also.
Brainwashing
Achieved! Democrat Voters Overwhelmingly Believe "Trump Supporters" Are The #1 Problem In The Country.
The #1 goal of the liberal media ever since Trump came down the escalator in June of 2015 was to smear his supporters as
"racists, bigots, sexist, deplorable scum of the earth". In early 2021, they added "domestic terrorist" to the
list. Sadly, according to a brand new poll, the media smear campaign has proved to be effective. A new poll from
Echelon Insights shows that the #1 "concern" for Democrat voters is "Trump supporters". Yes, really. Not police
brutality, gun violence, healthcare, student debt, or 7 of the other items they were asked about. Trump supporters.
[...] The media makes the money machine churn when they can divide the people, and the results of this poll show they are
doing an exceptional job.
Biden
Falsely Labels Police, Military Veterans As 'White Supremacists'. Joe Biden has accused military veterans and
retired police officers of so-called "white supremacy" in a grievous insult to servicemen and women. "The impact of
former military, former police officers, on the growth of white supremacy in some of these groups... it is a bane on our
existence... these guys and woman are, in fact, demented," he stated during a CNN Town Hall. Biden's remarks sparked
fury among veteran and police groups who said they didn't serve and protect this country to become subject to a political
smear campaign. In that same interview, Biden falsely labeled patriotic groups as "domestic terrorists" while ignoring
the threats posed by groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
After
Shocking Attacks On Elderly Asians, Activists Hold A Rally Against 'White Supremacy' (There's Just One Problem).
Earlier this month I wrote about a brutal attack in San Francisco that really shocked people around the country. An
84-year-old man named Vicha Ratanapakdee, an immigrant from Thailand who was nearly blind, was knocked to the ground by a
19-year-old man later identified as Antoine Watson. The unprovoked attack was caught on video. [Video clip]
Ratanapakdee was taken to a hospital with a head injury and later died. His family described what happened to him as a hate
crime because they believed he was targeted because of his race. Antoine Watson was captured and charged with murder and elder
abuse. He has pleaded not guilty. [...] In response to all of these violent, senseless attacks on Asian people, activists in
New York organized a rally against white nationalism. [...] There's just one problem with this. All of the attackers involved
in these three, high profile attacks were black men.
Biden's
big con — here's what president, Democrats afraid to tell you about COVID, the economy. Joe Biden is
conning the American people. He is lying about COVID and he is lying about the economy. We are not in the midst
of a dark long winter. We are on the cusp of a bounteous blooming spring. President Biden doesn't want you to
know the good news. Why? Because then you will refuse to write him and his Democrat colleagues a big fat
$1.9 trillion blank check. And, because if the virus disappears in the next few months, even the most gullible
CNN-watching Biden groupie will know that Donald J. Trump conquered COVID, not Joe Biden. Some radicals might even
conclude that President Trump's Operation Warp Speed has delivered a miracle. Consider the facts. COVID cases have
dropped by more than 70% in recent weeks, more than the "experts" predicted. Fatalities, which lag cases, are also
plummeting. Vaccine delivery is ramping up, and already some 15% of Americans have received a shot.
Boycott
the Gaslight Media and Save America. [Scroll down] A recent example of this tactic is the reporting in the immediate days
following the breach of the Capitol on January 6th of this year. The incident was almost instantaneously characterized as an "armed
insurrection." Five people were said to have been murdered in the mayhem. Supposedly, a policeman was savagely beaten to death with
a fire extinguisher by a Trump supporter, and this was widely reported in the New York Times and throughout the media. All the so-called
insurgents were branded as Trump supporters (i.e., domestic terrorists) who were incited by President Trump's speech to go on a murderous rampage
and threaten the lives of Senators and Representatives. President Trump had blood on his hands, therefore, impeachment and a permanent
sanction against his seeking the presidency in the future was an absolute necessity. [...] Since the initial reporting, the truth has slowly
leaked out, primarily through the alternative media. We now know:
[#1] That the FBI and other agencies as well as Congressional leaders were aware prior to the riot that militant and
extremist groups were planning to cause chaos and breach the Capitol. Thus, President Trump could not have incited the mayhem.
[#2] That no one was murdered by demonstrators, and Officer Sicknick was not killed by a Trump supporter with a fire
extinguisher but died of natural causes or exposure to tear gas.
[#3] That three of the people supposedly murdered died of natural causes outside the Capitol building.
[#4] That there was no "armed insurrection" as no one has been charged with using a firearm inside the Capitol, further,
no demonstrator has been identified as even carrying a gun inside the building.
[#5] That Congressional leaders, primarily Nancy Pelosi, deliberately tied the hands of the Capital Hill police and
refused to call in additional police support or the National Guard.
A
Very Convenient Narrative Shift on COVID Is Suddenly Happening. Because I'm more than a year old, I'm old
enough to remember the days of Joe Biden promising to "crush" the virus the day he took office. For most of the 2020
campaign season, the current president asserted that Trump had the ability to do so much more than he was but that he was
simply choosing not to do so. That become a common media narrative as well, as every single COVID death was hung around
Trump's neck as if he had personally murdered all of them. With Biden becoming president, though, we are seeing a
sudden shift in the narrative. [...] Whenever a Republican is in charge, Democrats assert that the government not only can,
but must solve every issue, down to stopping hurricanes from hitting the country. Yet, the moment a Democrat takes
over, there's just not much they can do about anything. Like a leaf in the wind, they are at the mercy of the
uncontrollable forces which surround them.
No
Proof January 6 Was an 'Armed Insurrection'. The media continue to promote any number of fabricated storylines
intended to bolster the laughable narrative of an "insurrection" occurring at the Capitol. The concocted account of the
death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick recently fell apart; the New York Times, after pressure from outlets including
American Greatness, effectively retracted its January 8 article claiming Sicknick was killed by a fire extinguisher at the hands
of Trump "loyalists." So now it's time to straighten out another twisted tale animating the folklore of January 6:
The idea the random chaos amounted to an "armed insurrection." Hundreds of crazed Trumpists carrying deadly weapons, the public
believes, stormed the Capitol to injure or kill senators, representatives, and even Vice President Mike Pence in order to avenge
a "stolen" election. Most news outlets — as they did with the coverage of Sicknick's death —
unflinchingly repeat the "armed insurrection" trope, which can be traced back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's January 7
press conference.
Commentary on the article immediately above: Julie Kelly: Feds Keep Claiming It Was an "Armed
Insurrection.". How could it have been an "armed insurrection" when none of the "insurrectionists" were
carrying arms? [...] This is an occupation government. This is a lying, brazenly corrupt repressive government.
It is not of the people, nor by the people, and certainly not for the people.
Joe
Biden Falsely Claims Trump Had No Vaccine Distribution Plan. CLAIM: "Just over four weeks ago, America had no
real plan to vaccinate most of the country." — President Joe Biden VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE.
Trump had a plan that was complicated by the diverse policies of state governments. Biden, speaking at a Pfizer
manufacturing facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Friday [2/19/2021] claimed that President Donald Trump had left him no plan
for the distribution of coronavirus vaccines.
Lies
About Capitol Officer Brian Sicknick Ominously Foreshadow Democrats' 'Truth Commission. Democrats' calls for an
indefinite commission to investigate the non-leftist Capitol riot should prepare you for another multi-year Russia collusion
hoax-style narrative with intricate webs of players, evidence, and lies. One of the key facts in this accelerated use
of police powers against Democrats' political opposition is the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. As
Tristan Justice explained Monday, Democrats used Sicknick's death in the aftermath of the riot to help construct their
narrative of murderous Trump-supporting thugs attempting an "insurrection." Five people died related to the Jan. 6
violence, including Sicknick. Three died of "medical emergencies," not violence. One, Ashli Babbit, was a rioter
shot by police as she attempted to enter the Speaker's Lobby inside the Capitol. Sicknick's is the only death that
could directly implicate the rioters in "murder."
Liberals
Make Asinine COVID Comparisons with Gov. Abbott Telling Texas to Stay Home Due to Weather. Texas has been
hit hard with a once-in-a-generation snowstorm that has reached all parts of the state. Due to the power outages and
the hazardous road conditions that have caused multiple crashes and left motorists stranded, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has
told people to stay home. This unique and deadly situation the state is dealing with was seen as an opportunity by some
liberals on social media to mock Abbott's call for caution by comparing it to Texas' loose COVID-19 restrictions. [Tweets]
What seems to be lost on those making the comparison is that there have been deadly crashes, such as the one that occurred in
Fort Worth. The massive pile-up, which happened in part from the ice on the road, resulted in over 130 vehicles
crashing and six deaths, according to NBCDFW.
Vaccines,
Schools And Racist Insurance: 'Fact-Checking' Biden's Town Hall Claims. On Tuesday evening [2/16/2021],
President Joe Biden traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to participate in a CNN Presidential Town Hall — his first as
President of the United States. Speaking with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, Biden fielded questions from audience
members, some of whom voted for him and some of whom did not. In a similar fashion to Biden's television appearances
while on the campaign trail, and the first days of his administration, the town hall event was dripping with falsehoods and
misleading arguments.
Fact
Check? Kamala Lies to Axios with 'Start from Scratch' Vaccine Claim that Fauci Debunked. Isn't it
fascinating that the liberal media lectures us about all the dangers of misinformation about the coronavirus, but now the
Biden-Harris team just keeps repeating nonsense about how they had to start "from scratch" on the vaccine? That there
was "no plan"? Even after CNN fell on its face running this claim from an anonymous source, only to be corrected by
media darling Anthony Fauci, Vice President Kamala Harris said it out loud to Axios reporter and co-founder Mike Allen for
the website's HBO show. Allen just accepted this garbage. [Video clip]
Whataboutism
Is A Nonsense Word That Defends Hypocrisy. There is obvious hypocrisy at work comparing the single riot at the
Capitol on Jan. 6 and the summer of violence the nation endured last year. For progressives this is easy. They
think the violent protests of 2020 were fine. But anti-Trump conservatives can't really do that. They don't
support Vice President Kamala Harris helping to bail out rioting arsonists and know that if Trump had done anything like it
he would have been crucified for it when Harris clearly wasn't. To get themselves out of this dilemma they appeal to
"whataboutism." The idea has its roots in the Soviet Union, which would use it to deflect from its own horrible actions
by pointing to bad actions done by the United States. It is a version of the tu quoque logical fallacy, but with
a big difference. In the latter, a personal failing of the person making the accusation is appealed to, not an apples
to apples comparison of events with similar contexts. Comparing the way this summer's riots were dealt with and how the
Capitol riot is being dealt with is not a fallacy, it's how logic works. In every aspect of our lives, from law, to
science, to medicine, to child-rearing, and relationships, we compare similar past situations when making a current choice.
Post-impeachment,
NYT retracts story about Officer Sicknick killed by Trumpster with fire extinguisher. Somewhere out there,
there's an amazingly sinister story to be told about what happened in the series of events on Jan. 6 leading up to
impeachment. Because fresh after the slapdash, failed second impeachment of President Trump, the New York Times has
withdrawn the rawest element of its story, the anonymously sourced claim that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was
killed by one of President Trump's supporters who hurled a fire extinguisher at him. [...] Revolver has an account that
Sicknick was alive and well as the riot went on, and creepily enough, reported dead before his death happened. His
family was taking calls from the press about it and at the time, they had every indication to think he was
alive. If that's true, something really sinister may be going on. Recall also, that Sicknick's death, which
wasn't from a fire extinguisher, but now "due to injuries sustained while on duty" drew a huge, massive funeral, with the
man lying in state in the Capitol. The unprecedented show was held that way as a means to advance the narrative that
Trump was a killer.
MAGA
Blood Libel: Why Are They Hiding The Medical Report? [Scroll down] Narrative 1.0 absolutely
saturated the airwaves, editorials, and social media. Every MSM outlet from USAToday to the NY Post to the Daily Dot
repeated that Sicknick was "bludgeoned by a fire extinguisher." Not "sources say." Not "many believe" — just a
totally unqualified, unequivocal statement of fact. In an unforgivable shocker, the House Trial Memorandum itself,
which sets forth the very impeachment charges for which the 45th President stands accused, names Trump liable for
"insurrectionists" that "killed a Capitol police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher." Their
source? The New York Times. But the toilet paper Times left a real stinker inside this one.
Because every claim they made, every detail conveyed, was a lie. Law enforcement officials now tell CNN that there was
no fire extinguisher blow, no bloody gash, and no blunt force trauma to Sicknick's body when he died. Not only that,
but it is increasingly unclear when, where and if Sicknick was even rushed to the hospital.

subsequent argument of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who argued that Trump was a future danger. [Tweets] Raskin tried to
claim that Trump's speech on January 6 incited the Capitol riot because he had spent years encouraging supporters to commit
acts of violence, or condoning past acts of violence, often using specific coded language to do so.

Match Unfolds After Juan Williams Accuses Co-Hosts Of Supporting Jan. 6th Riot. On Wednesday, Juan Williams
lied on national TV by saying that his co-hosts on 'The Five' supported the violence that occurred at the Capitol on January
6th. After his blatant lie, Williams' co-hosts fired back and a shouting match erupted. "Let me tell you!
Facing the truth is the way that we solve this! This is the way we bring the country together," Williams began
shouting. "Ignoring the problems is never the way to solve them!," he added. "You shouldn't be impugning our
intentions, Juan! That's the problem!," Gutfeld shouted back.
House
Democrats Forced To Admit They're Peddling Fake News During Impeachment Hearing. On Wednesday, the Democratic
House impeachment managers were forced to withdraw evidence in their case against former President Donald Trump after they
were called out for peddling fake news. The impeachment managers claimed that President Trump had mistakenly called
Senator Mike Lee on the evening of January 6th and thought he was talking to Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville. "He
dialed Senator Lee by accident, and Senator Lee describes it that he had just ended a prayer in the Senate chamber," claimed
impeachment manager David Cicilline (D-RI). Cicilline then said that the President told Tuberville to "make further
objections" to Biden's electors as Senator Lee "stood by."
A Reminder of Dems Hypocritical
History of Undermining the Results of the Election of Donald Trump. Do Democrats have 15 second memories?
For surely, they must think that we do, if they think we forgot what happened and what they did around the 2016 election and
afterward. One of the most ironic things about Democrats saying anything about the GOP questioning election results is
how for more than four years, Democrats did everything they could do undermine the duly-elected President, Donald Trump, and
not just question the results, but try to change them. Democrats weaponized the dossier which was then pass onto the
FBI and the media, helping to divide the country and pushing the idea that the president was somehow a foreign agent.
There are a lot of Democrats who still believe this fiction. There were Democrats who objected to the electoral count
of Trump, some basing claims, falsely, on "Russian interference" in the actual election.
Six
of the Democrats' Arguments for Disqualifying Trump From Seeking Office Again. House prosecutors argued
Wednesday [2/10/2021] that former President Donald Trump not only is responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol but was
involved in a "premeditated" effort after he "ran out of nonviolent measures" to keep power. [...] Trump intentionally pushed
the violence in Washington to hold onto power, argued Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., an impeachment manager with a reputation
as a "Twitter troll" critical of Trump. "How did our exceptional country get to the point where a violent mob attacked
our Capitol, murdering a police officer, assaulting over 140 other officers?" Lieu asked. "How did we get to the point
where rioters desecrated, defiled, and dishonored your Senate chamber, where the very place in which you sit became a crime
scene and where National Guard troops still patrol outside wearing body armor?" he asked. Lieu then answered his
questions, saying it happened because Trump was unwilling to let go of power after losing an election.
The Editor says...
[#1] The only time the Democrats claim that America is an "exceptional country" is when they're attacking Trump. [#2] Nobody
murdered a police officer in the January 6 riot. A police officer died after he left the riot and had a stroke.
[#3] The people who "assault[ed] over 140 other officers" were probably all Antifa and BLM infiltrators and agitators.
[#4] The "National Guard troops still patrol outside wearing body armor" entirely because Democrats are using them as props.
[#5] Trump was unwilling to let go of power after NOT losing an election. The election was stolen. Trump was trying
to retain that which was his.
The
Strange House Democrat Impeachment Claim of an "Armed" Crowd. The House Democrat impeachment arguments are
terrible. But there's one odd thing that stands out in their word salads of innuendo and conjecture. "Against
this backdrop, President Trump addressed a crowd that he knew was armed and primed for violence," the House Democrat
impeachment managers wrote in their rebuttal. "When he stood at the podium before thousands of his supporters,
President Trump knew that they were armed and that they were angry." These two references to an "armed crowd" are
strange because no one has been accused of opening fire at the Capitol Riot. Even the worst actors seem to have
resorted to using the usual rioter tools, sprays, poles, shields, and assorted objects that were weaponized, but were not
weapons. The tactical group that set out to breach the Capitol was well prepared but used no firearms to achieve its
goals. And it planned its attack days before the event and started it while President Trump was speaking. What
are House Democrats talking about? As usual, no one seems to know or care. Not even them.
The
left's weaponization of the term 'conspiracy theory'. Oh, you're skeptical of the COVID vaccine's effectiveness
and safety? What are you, a crazy conspiracy nut? You think the election was stolen from Trump? What
baseless nonsense! Hmm? George Soros is behind much of the chaos we currently observe? Get out of here, you
anti-Semitic racist! Those are just a few examples of how the left fallaciously wants to use choice terms to hastily
shut down the opposition. Talk of conspiracy theories has even spread to encompass religious topics, with creationists
now accused of buying into a conspiracy theory.
How did we
go so wrong? Today, we have a political party in power that throws around words like "science" but deliberately
ignores actual scientific methods and evidence, and tries to convince us that boys can be girls just by saying so; that
babies in the womb aren't actually people; that homosexuality is somehow not a choice, despite no evidence to the contrary;
and that "peaceful protests" can include arson, looting, shootings, and even death. Our culture and our nation are
being infected from a self-inflicted wound, perpetrated by elected foolish and selfish elected representatives who cater to
feelings not facts. Welcome to the modern Democratic party.
Jake Tapper and Chris Hayes
Lose Their Minds 'Inciting' Against GOP And Reveal Next Step to Control the Narrative. [Scroll down] The
GOP got "hundred of thousands of Americans" killed? When did that happen? "Then helped a deadly attack on the
Capitol." No, as far as I know, the GOP denounced any violence and were themselves threatened with a bomb at the RNC.
No, actually there wasn't "unprecedented death" for a pandemic. Unfortunately, there are deaths in a pandemic as
there have been all over the world. Had Trump not been in power, if Biden had been there, it would have been far
worse. Biden wouldn't have cut off travel with China and it would have been exponentially worse. "Destruction and
misery and mourning." Yes, there was a lot of that from mostly Democratic lockdowns, where Democrats denied aid, as
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi proved, until after the election, exacting the most harm to the economy believing it could
adversely affect President Donald Trump. There was also a lot of that during the BLM/Antifa riots that the Democrats
not only failed to condemn, but actually embraced by donating to a rioter bail fund, supporting violent rioters over the
people and the police being harmed, and attacking efforts to curtail the riots by law enforcement and the federal government.
Maxine
Waters denies ever encouraging violence against Republicans. We are currently being governed by a class of people who believe:
• Focusing obsessively on race, and classifying people solely by racial characteristics, is "anti-racist."
• Violent cadres of masked people attacking their political enemies, burning buildings, and engaging in violent censorship are "anti-fascists."
• People can change their sex at will because of their feelings, a subset of which is the assertion that men can have babies.
• Ending punishments for criminals (no bail arrests, decarceration, etc.) will end crime.
• Humans the power to affect the earth's climate, a dynamic system that has been changing endlessly for 4.5 billion years.
• A welfare state can survive an open border.
• Introducing millions of unskilled Latin American laborers into America will not have any negative effect on low-income people who are already in America, especially American Blacks.
• Forcing employers to pay above-market wages will result in more jobs, not fewer.
• A decrepit, corrupt, senile man who campaigned from his basement got more votes than any presidential candidate in American history.
• Violent riots across American cities, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, are peaceful protests.
Given this departure from reality, should we really be shocked that Rep. Maxine Waters is denying that she ever called for violence against Republicans?
If you're a conservative, you're familiar with this video: [Video clip]
California
politicians demand grocery stores pay workers more; groceries close instead. Joe Biden continues to lie about
the impact of mandatory higher wages. Mumbling to President Trump and the American people at the third presidential
debate, he had said that "there is no evidence that when you raise the minimum wage, businesses go out of business.
That is simply not true." He and his team have since reiterated this claim. This is the same party that asserts that
biological sex is a social construct, that the immutable race of a person should be the basis of his worth, and that climate
change is an existential threat to the American people. Congratulations, Democrats: I no longer feel shock and
outrage when you make stupid comments. I have simply come to expect it. Still, I am a little worked up over Biden's
comments on hourly wages. His position flies in the face of both basic economic theory and lived empirical realities.
Are
we not fact-checking evidence-free claims anymore? At what point are journalists going to hold Democratic
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accountable for her evidence-free conspiracy-mongering? [...] The congresswoman has been
on a roll recently, lobbing serious allegations of wrongdoing. She even claims Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas
"almost" had her "murdered." Perhaps unsurprisingly, few, if any, in the press have bothered to challenge what are by all
objective standards deadly serious and verifiable accusations. Indeed, many journalists seem perfectly content merely
to repeat the charges and leave it at that. And that's the obvious problem here, that there is basically no pushback
against Ocasio-Cortez from the industry that spent the past four years telling us how good it is at holding the powerful to
account. Who is the police officer in the congresswoman's story? What is his take on her version of events?
Will he have a chance to defend himself? Will establishment journalists even bother to uncover his identity? This
is no small thing, accusing a member of the U.S. Capitol police of possibly conspiring with a seditious, murderous mob.
The
'Big Lie' And Big Liars. There's a media-perpetrated myth that Joe Biden is a moderate; that he's an honest
man. He is not, and never has been. He's a politician, a Democrat, who now has the authority of the United States
government behind him. The Big Lies are spread daily from the podium of the White House press briefing room. Jen
Psaki and her red hair have returned from a CNN contributor gig, and after disseminating lies for the Obama State Department,
this "Ginger Goebbels" freely spouts whatever words fit their needs at the moment. Unbound by reality or any challenge
of the one they paint daily, even when it contradicts the one they painted the day before, the lies just keep getting
bigger. They inherited "no plan" for vaccine distribution? Schools can't reopen unless billions are spent hiring
more teachers when all data shows schools are safe? But they're the "party of science"? No lie is too small to tell,
none too big to swallow, and none are or will be challenged.
The Enemy Is
Us. [Scroll down] Since 2016, our President — our Paladin — has been talked about
in a manner that most folks wouldn't speak about a GITMO prisoner. All that started with agencies of the U.S.
Government spying on Candidate Trump which resulted in a phony story about Russian "collusion," followed by a sham
impeachment trial. Having no success at removing this upstart President with no previous political experience, the left
decided to support widespread rioting, looting, arson, and flat-out assassination of Americans in the street. All of
this over the statistically non-existent issue that falsely claimed police kill Black Americans more than they do whites.
When
Resistance Became Sedition and Sedition Became Resistance. In 2008, "dissent" went from being the "highest form
of patriotism", a quote by Communist revisionist historian Howard Zinn that Democrats falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson,
to treason when George W. Bush made way for Barack H. Obama. The old bumper stickers about the patriotic value
of dissent were swiftly replaced with others touting the value of change. In 2020, resistance just as quickly turned into
sedition once the political tables were turned. In one month, questioning a presidential election went from a commonplace
proposition to a shocking attack on our democracy. And we all know that if President Trump had been inaugurated for a
second term, there would be no censorship or censure of the Democrat politicians and pundits claiming that he was only
reelected because of Russia or UFOs. Nor would we be hearing any talk of "sedition" and "insurrection" as if
they were bad things.
Are
facial recognition programs being used against Trump supporters? For four years, leftists have been on a
maddened rampage of threats, anger, hatred, and actual violence. Conservatives abided by the law. However, since
taking power in Washington, D.C., the Democrat party has a mission: It is redefining all 75-80 million Trump supporters
as white supremacists and domestic terrorists. One person's Facebook post suggests that merely attending the Trump
rally — and having no connection with the preplanned violence at the Capitol — is enough to get you on
a government list. [...] Of that huge number of people, a small fraction went to the Capitol, an even smaller fraction
entered the Capitol, and an even smaller fraction engaged in violent behavior. And it's that last small fraction that
gave Democrats the handle they needed to claim that every Trump supporter is a terrorist. [...] The Democrats actually intend
to criminalize half the country. This cannot end well. The Democrats need to pull back from this behavior.
Democratic
Party In Oregon Blames 'Republican Attacks' After Antifa Smashed Its HQ. Democrats in Oregon have blamed
'Republican attacks' after Antifa smashed up its headquarters last Wednesday [1/20/2021] just hours after Joe Biden was
inaugurated. The Democrat Party Of Oregon released a statement that doesn't even mention left wing violence or Antifa,
but instead infers that Republicans are to blame.
Operation
Warp Speed staff: We had 300-plus meetings with Biden's team reviewing the plan. Did the outgoing Trump
administration leave Joe Biden and his COVID-19 team without a plan to deal with the pandemic? For the first week of
the new administration, the messaging has emphasized the absence of any logistical plans, inventory control, or any coherent
guidance. White House officials tell reporters anonymously that the Biden team had to "start from scratch."
That's utter and complete malarkey, officials from Operation Warp Speed tell National Review today. They held over 300
meetings with Biden's transition team members and laid out a clear plan for them to follow. Furthermore, the results
prove their plan worked.
Obey,
America, for Your Own Good! So, just to be clear about where we now stand: The Constitution's out sick
because of Chinese Flu. You still get to say and print what you want so long as what you have to say conforms to
whatever CNN has to say. If you stick up for the Founding Fathers who fought for our freedoms, you're likely a "white
supremacist," but if you destroy monuments to the Founding Fathers, you're a freedom fighter. It's patriotic to inform
on your neighbors for violating government health decrees but unpatriotic to pray with your neighbors in church.
Rioters who destroy cities are protesting for democracy, but Americans protesting for free and fair elections are threatening
democracy. It's good and noble to burn down buildings around the White House when members of Congress promise to pay
for arsonists' bail, but breaching the Capitol perimeter is no less tragic than Pearl Harbor. Social media protect
speech by silencing it. News corporations protect freedom of the press by urging the censorship of points of
view. Americans can no longer be trusted with guns because they might use them to protect their natural rights.
The only person ever to receive more votes than Donald Trump is Joe Biden, but Americans are supposed to remember at all
times that Donald Trump is immensely unpopular while Joe Biden is historically loved. And so many Americans support the
incoming president that he requires a standing army to ensure his safe installation.
America
Is (Not So) Slowly Turning Communist Red. Perhaps the most contemptible action of the Democrats, and there have
been so many, is the desire to completely erase Trump and, by extension, his MAGA movement. So now "more than 250
authors, editors, agents, professors and others in the American literary community signed an open letter this week opposing
any publisher who signs book deals with President Donald Trump or members of his administration." Such actions can only
be described as emulating a dog gone mad. It is rabies of the mind and soul. Clearly, their politics supersede
economics, and everything is upside-down in this madness. That people involved with ideas and books would inveigh
against the publishing of important thoughts is mind-boggling! Even more disturbing is the ease with which they
lie. For the umpteenth time, Trump did not cage any children; Obama did, but why let the facts get in the way of
left-wing censorship?
Rep. Boebert
blasts 'baseless' suggestion by Dem lawmaker that she led reconnaissance tour of Capitol. Rep. Lauren
Boebert, R-Colo., blasted Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., Tuesday over his "baseless" suggestion that she led a group of
people who took part in the deadly Jan. 6 riot on a tour of the Capitol building days earlier. "This claim is
absolutely disgusting," Boebert told Fox News Tuesday [1/19/2021]. "It's offensive. I had my family in the Capitol
on January 2nd. I brought my four sons, my mom, my husband, aunts and uncles to look around the Capitol. And then
on the 3rd, we took some photos together before I was sworn in. My family left that day."
Retired Firefighter's Life
Torn Apart After Twitter Mob Falsely Accuses Him of Murder of Capitol Police Officer. Folks on social media
have been trying to dox people who were at the Trump rally and the Capitol on Jan. 6. But they're not just going after
people who actually violated the law. They're going after some of the thousands who were there peacefully and were not
involved in any illegal acts. Not to mention because they're not the police, they're going after and wrongly
identifying people who were actually not involved at all.
The Editor says...
That's very similar to lynching.
Senator
Josh Hawley: Voicing Election Fraud Concerns is Not Inciting Violence. Republican Missouri Sen. Josh
Hawley said in a recent op-ed that he and others have been wrongly accused of inciting violence simply because they chose to
object to the electoral college certification. "In the past, when Democrats objected, they were praised for standing up
for democracy," Hawley wrote in Southeast Missourian. "In 2005, when Democrats objected to counting Ohio's electoral
votes, Nancy Pelosi praised the objections, saying, 'This debate is fundamental to our democracy' and 'we are witnessing
democracy at work'." "This time around, anyone who objected has been called an 'insurrectionist.' Sadly, much of the
media and many members of the Washington establishment want to deceive Americans into thinking those who raised concerns
incited violence, simply by voicing the concern," he continued. "That's false. And the allegation itself is
corrosive and dangerous."
Is
Truth Irrelevant? It is amazing how many people seem to have discovered last Wednesday that riots are
wrong — when many of those same people apparently had not noticed that when riots went on, for weeks or even
months, in various cities across the country last year. For too many people, especially in the media, what is right and
wrong, true or false, depends on who it helps or hurts politically. Too many media people who are supposed to be
reporters act as if they are combatants in political wars. Someone once said that, in a war, truth is the first
casualty. That has certainly been so in the media — and in much of academia as well.
Biden: Trump 'not above the
law. Justice serves the people — it doesn't protect the powerful'. President-elect Joe Biden said on
Twitter Saturday [1/9/2021] that President Trump is "not above the law," after the House announced it would be bringing articles of
impeachment on Monday. "Our president is not above the law," Biden wrote. "Justice serves the people — it doesn't
protect the powerful." But the president-elect has stopped short of calling for Trump's impeachment.
The Editor says...
Nobody has said that Mr. Trump thinks he is "above the law." Mr. Biden knows quite well that the powerful are protected by something
other than Justice. (Why isn't Hillary Clinton in prison? How do BLM rioters escape jail time?) Mr. Trump is merely
objecting, on behalf of ten of millions of voters, to the theft of an election. Is that an offense worthy of impeachment?
We
Will Not Be Lectured by the Violent, Anti-American, Revolutionary Left. Unlike the "fiery but mostly peaceful
protests" that were reported over the summer, the media have been quick to claim that this was not a "mostly peaceful"
protest (despite the protestors being, by any estimation, mostly peaceful), but the entire event is being categorized as a
bona fide riot that had been fueled by Donald Trump's irresponsible and untruthful rhetoric. As a matter of scale, we
should note that the level of violence and destruction that occurred in Washington since January 6 is some immeasurably
tiny fraction of the violence and destruction visited upon cities across America in the orchestrated riots that occurred in
the wake of George Floyd's death. And while the media and its preferred politicians are still actively and outwardly
pretending that George Floyd's death has the slightest thing to do with racist police officers (it doesn't, and there is not
a single compelling shred of evidence anywhere that it does), the media and its preferred politicians are simultaneously
pretending that ordinary American taxpayers have no legitimate reason to be expressing their political outrage in
Washington. That's a contemptible lie.
Instead
Of Unity, Joe Biden And Kamala Harris Chose Divisive Lies. In the aftermath of one of the worst days in modern
American history — when violent rioters stormed the US Capitol building — President-elect Joe Biden
[...] said that "a group of Black Lives Matter" protesters would have been "treated very, very differently," and that "we all
know that's true." Joe Biden called the difference between how police treated Trump rioters versus Black Lives Matter
protesters "unacceptable." Kamala Harris took this statement one step further by presenting the appalling actions of the
rioters as being demonstrative of a wider issue, "a justice system that does not work equally for all." Setting aside
the unbelievable irony that Joe Biden — the author of the 1994 crime bill — and Kamala Harris —
a former District Attorney and Attorney General who has jailed more black people than nearly any other American citizen —
are assigned authority on "criminal justice reform," it's crucial that we reject these statements for what they are: racist,
inflammatory garbage. The narrative that the "white pro-Trump rioters" who stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington
D.C. were treated "better" than "Black Lives Matter protesters" is simply untrue. Police clashed violently with rioters on
January 6th. One police officer tragically lost his life, and one rioter — an unarmed white woman —
was shot and killed.
Our only option is a steady
Civil Rights movement to make it illegal, step by step, to do this to us. [Thread reader] Every person on the
left believes they just survived the parallel to the rise of Nazism in Germany and they defeated it. They stopped
it. They believe all Republicans are 1950's white racists. They feel empowered to live out their Civil Rights
warrior fantasies. They imagine themselves toppling Jim Crow and the Confederacy and the Nazi army in one swoop and
every powerful authority is on their side. [...] They think we are the people in old 1950's photos angrily shouting at black
school children. We are not people to them. We are symbols of what they feel morally driven to remove from the
world. The most powerful people who influence technology see us the same way.
The
Capitol: So Much Susupicious Evidence. It's our own fault. We allowed Twitter, Facebook, and
Instagram to control the narrative while Google controlled the answers to any questions. They now believe they can
define what happened on January 6, 2021 with impunity and we will accept their lies as truth. We the people, however,
are all too aware of what they are trying to accomplish, having been witness to the Hunter Biden story dissolving into the
ether from inaccessibility and the silencing of any dissent as they stole a presidency. For the entire year, the left
has tried to provoke the right into violence. On Wednesday [1/6/2021], they got what they wished for. Or
conversely, they infiltrated a peaceful demonstration with Antifa and carried out a successful false flag operation.
[They tell us this] was all Trump's fault. We know this because for the past four years, we have been told everything is
Trump's fault. And I would wager, they will tell us for the next four years, everything is Trump's fault. As a
matter of fact, when someone writes the acknowledged history of the United States of America's Second Civil War, it will be
Trump's fault as well.
Abrams
Claims Without Evidence She 'Never Challenged' Results of 2018 Election. Failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey
Abrams (D.), who repeatedly questioned the outcome of Georgia's 2018 governor's race, said Monday she "never challenged" the
results of the election. "My questions weren't about the outcome of the election. I never challenged the
numbers," Abrams said on CNN's Cuomo Prime Time. "I challenged the system, and I fought to make certain that every vote
that got cast got counted." In the weeks following that election, Abrams refused to acknowledge her defeat to Brian Kemp
(R.), who won by roughly 55,000 votes. Instead, she called the election "tainted" and said it "disenfranchised"
voters. Despite her most recent claims, Abrams has for more than two years denied that she lost the election. Her
loss, she told the New York Times in 2019, was "fully attributable to voter suppression." She later claimed the election
was "stolen" from Georgia voters.
Five
things CNN might have been thinking when they unexpectedly called out a sleazy Jon Ossoff lie. Atlanta-headquartered
CNN has taken an unexpected role in the upcoming Georgia runoff, which is that of fact-checker ... on Democrat Jon Ossoff. [...]
With an election this close and this pivotal, and everyone knowing which side CNN is on, it's natural to wonder what's going on.
Offhand, five theories can be put forward: First, the ever-shriveling network knows it's shot its credibility wad with listeners
as the Democrats' jellyfish ally, everyone knowing that they manipulate the news for leftists. That may be the result of recent
undercover footage by James O'Keefe showing them slanting the news, and packaging it according to the left's "narrative." Could
be a move to regain respectability, which for them is a long climb up.
Jon
Ossoff Lies so Brazenly About Kelly Loeffler Even CNN Debunks It. CNN actually fact-checked a lie told by a
Democratic candidate running in one of the most critical races in this election season. Yes, I know we're all
experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance at the moment, but let's take a look. Ossoff spoke with Fox News reporter
Peter Coocy on Wednesday evening about the upcoming election. During the exchange, Doocy asked if Ossoff had "any
concern that the allegations of wrongdoing by Rev. Warnock could possibly be a drag on the Democratic ticket."
Ossoff responded, stating deceptively that Sen. Kelly Loeffler campaigned with a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Sen.
Murphy: Josh Hawley Is 'Engaged in the Attempted Overthrow of Democracy'. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)
said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that his colleague Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is attempting to
overthrow democracy by announcing he will object to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's electoral college win in
the Senate on January 6. Mitchell said, "Your Republican colleague Josh Hawley of Missouri announcing today he's going
to object to the Electoral College vote certification on January 6. It's unlikely to change the result, it's not going to
happen, but it's going to cause delay, lengthy debate, both Houses in Joint Session. It's a complicated process that sets off."
The Editor says...
[#1] We live in a democratic republic, not a democracy. [#2] The people who conspired to introduce massive voter fraud in at least
five states are the ones who are subverting democracy and attempting to overthrow President Trump.
What
Kamala Harris's big Kwanzaa lie reveals about the media. [Scroll down] Fast-forward almost four years and
Kamala Harris, the presumed vice president — elect, issued a warm message to celebrants of Kwanzaa. Harris,
who is half-Jamaican, half-Asian Indian, and zero African, remarked in a tweet that Kwanzaa celebrations were one of her many
favorite childhood memories, where people across multiple generations would tell stories and light candles. Harris is
obviously lying, as broken down in detail in American Thinker and by The Post Millennial. She was born just 2 years
before Kwanzaa was invented, her non-African ancestors are not associated with celebrating Kwanzaa, and there is abundant
evidence of her celebrating Christmas in her childhood with no evidence of her celebrating Kwanzaa. Yet where is the
media's breathless reporting on Harris's obvious lie? A Google News search for the phrase "Harris Kwanzaa" for the
three days since her tweet barely yields 40 results. No national outlets covered, let alone critiqued, her pandering
lie. Many of the search results were not even related to the same Harris who accused not-racist Joe Biden of forcing a
little girl off a school bus for racist reasons, but were instead about someone else named Harris and Kwanzaa. None of
the search results on the first two pages was critical of Harris's obvious lie.
Kamala
Harris Gets Absolutely Obliterated After She Releases Video Claiming She Has Celebrated Kwanzaa Since Childhood. Kamala
Harris released a Kwanzaa video this holiday season detailing how she frequently celebrated the holiday as a child. The video was
obviously just more pandering from one of the phoniest politicians in American history. The Twitter community wasn't having it
considering Harris immediately got hammered for her bogus video as people pointed out all the flaws and lies in what Harris had said.
Soviet-Style
Media Propaganda in America. Pick a theme from the last four years: Trump-Russia collusion, Trump has
told a bazillion lies, Trump is an authoritarian, Trump will get us into a war with North Korea, it's impossible for Trump to
get a vaccine by the end of the year. Yada yada yada. All of these things and more — including themes that have
nothing whatsoever to do with Trump — were flatly untrue. Which, in a society where the media is honest, would have
been reported by that media. A real media this minute would be investigating the results of the 2020 election and
whether or not the President and his supporters are correct that there was indeed at least some election fraud. But, of
course, that's not what the media is doing. They simply ignore the evidence, repeatedly label the very idea of voter
fraud "baseless" — and move on.
Are
Democrats In Trouble In 2022? [Scroll down] [W]hat Democrats like Adam Nagourney determinedly call
"protests against police abuses" consist largely of arson, assault and looting. Nothing says "I'm against police
abuses" like looting a pharmacy, liquor store or jewelry store. There is a reason why countless stores in urban areas
were boarded up, and in many cases remain boarded up, and the reason isn't that someone is "protesting against police
abuses." Further, Democrats in a number of cities, like Seattle, Portland, Chicago and Minneapolis, proved to be so
sympathetic to rioters that they were unwilling to take effective measures to stop them. Voters noticed. One more
thing: Nagourney's statement that riots, looting and arson were "heavily covered on local television" is revealing.
The [New York] Times, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, the broadcast networks and other reliable Democratic outlets
tried to suppress information about the riots that took place across the country, precisely so that such information would not
damage the Democratic Party. But they failed, mostly on account of local news coverage, which was less dedicated to the
Democratic cause and more interested in letting viewers know what was going on.
How the 'pandemic'
will change if/when Biden takes office. Going forward into 2021, it will be interesting to see just how the
left plans to deal with the pseudo-pandemic. The way I see it, they have two options. Well, I guess actually
three, but the third is a non-starter, which is coming clean and admitting to everyone that they lied about the severity of
COVID for most of the population and they purposely inflated both the contraction and death rates to gain an election
advantage. The other two are 1: Now that a Democrat is president (assuming this ends up being the case), COVID will
magically begin to lose its planet-killing status, and, thanks to our new president, things will begin to normalize a
bit. Or 2: Lockdowns will increase, despite vaccinations. Masks will become mandatory inside and out. All
other controls will remain or be ramped up. But there will be one change: The press will all of a sudden begin to
put a happy face on the whole mess. We will start to see the brighter side of the pandemic.

Johnson Rips Into Sen. Peters For Claiming Hunter Biden Story Was Russian Disinformation. Republican
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson ripped Wednesday [12/16/2020] into Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters for claiming he
was pushing Russian disinformation regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story. Johnson, Chair of the Senate Homeland
Security Committee, spoke during the Senate Hearing on Election Security & Administration. At one point, he began
talking about Russian disinformation and said that "the people peddling it are not on" his "side of the aisle.["]
Johnson brought up the Justice Department's investigation regarding Hunter, which indicates that the New York Post's articles
on the laptop were not, as many claimed, Russian disinformation. He then went on to repeatedly accuse Peters of being
the person pushing disinformation.
Projection: Schiff:
Republicans Who Signed on to TX Lawsuit a 'Danger to the Country'. House Intelligence Committee chairman
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Friday [12/11/2020] on MSNBC's "All In" that Republican lawmakers and attorneys general who
signed on to the Texas lawsuit to contest the presidential election results of four battleground states were all "a danger to
the country" because they only care about "perpetuation of their power."
Georgia
Democrat Raphael Warnock Says He Didn't Praise Murderous Dictator Fidel Castro. Here's Video Of Him Doing
It. Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock praised communist Cuban dictator Fidel Castor,
who is responsible for tens of thousands of brutal state murders, in a sermon in 2016[,] days after the dictator passed
away. A recently resurfaced video from 2016 shows Warnock behind his church's podium, giving a eulogy for the
authoritarian to his congregation. "We pray for the people of Cuba in this moment. We remember Fidel Castro,
whose legacy is complex. Don't let anyone tell you a simple story; life usually isn't very simple. His legacy is
complex, kind of like America's legacy is complex," Warnock said. [Video clip]
How
to Steal an Entire Country. Investigations and impeachments have been blasted forcefully into our faces for
years, thanks to the author of the MSM's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Joseph Goebbels, of Third Reich fame, who
said, "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind
constantly — it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. ... A lie told once remains a
lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth." It appears he also wrote the SOPs for Facebook, one of which is
clearly "propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will."
Now, all across the MSM, Biden's "victory" consequences are given the fait accompli treatment. We should all
just behave and accept reality. It sounds and reads like this: "Trump is baselessly contesting the results."
"Trump campaign court cases have been thrown out due to baseless claims." All the "doing" is from the Trump side, and it's
wasting everyone's time. The Democrats haven't done a thing, obviously. They are the innocent victims, once again,
of Trump's craziness. "Meanwhile, President-Elect Biden saw his shadow again today." There is nothing baseless
about what happened.
Canceling
Christmas: The COVID Straw to Break the Camel's Back? "Christmas is going to be a lot harder," Joe Biden
told an audience in a virtual briefing on December 2. "I don't want to scare anyone here, but understand the
facts. We're likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now and January ... because people aren't paying
attention." The purpose of Biden's statements was clearly to scare people into canceling their holiday travel plans and
embracing lockdowns, making his opening disclaimer a complete lie. He certainly aims to provoke panic, but any
reasonable person knows that this particular prediction is a desperate attempt at fear-mongering. [...] Biden's purposefully
exaggerated and dark prediction, thankfully, isn't "likely" to happen at all. What's more, Americans all know it.
That's why they traveled for Thanksgiving and will travel for Christmas, too. That's a problem for the media and
progressives, because they like to imagine the American people to be children who can't be trusted with access to the cookie
jar, and that's why, for their own good, daddy government and mommy media need to hide it from time to time.
Democrats'
defense of Georgia election fraud video doesn't hold water. Immediately after the story broke about the video
showing workers at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta counting ballots after poll observers had apparently been asked to leave,
a purported news site sprang into action to "fact check" the report. While the "fact check" gave room to Democrat
operatives to cover their derrieres, the counter-narrative was ludicrous. Additionally, new evidence about vote spikes
and two of the vote counters behaving suspiciously gave even more credence to Republicans' take on the surveillance video.
[...] The facts remain clear: Poll observers testified they were deliberately cleared out, at which point workers,
including two who had behaved suspiciously earlier, scanned ballots like crazy, with that scanning coinciding with an
impossibly huge spike in counts that favored Joe Biden. No wonder Governor Kemp suddenly called for a signature
audit. Even he knew no one would believe the purported facts "explaining" the video. Sadly, despite all this
evidence of illegal conduct, Fulton County still certified its results.
Donald
Trump and the Avignon Presidency. For years, it was primarily forces on the left pushing this cultural zero-sum
game of zero accommodation for dissent, via their weapons like political correctness, campus censorship, and now cancel
culture. However, now that the right has finally gotten the message that there's no place for its people in the
post-revolution America the left aspires to, we have reached the point of no return. A full-fledged cold civil war is
underway. If Trump is ultimately denied the presidency, he will not drift off into irrelevancy as his detractors
hope. Quite the contrary: Losing this way despite massively growing his appeal among voters compared to 2016 will
only make Trump stronger in the hearts and minds of his base. He will become a living martyr — something
even more powerful than a president in some ways, a symbol of how far the left in America is willing to go to end anything
American conservatives view as worthy of conserving: Fake News, Fake Borders, Fake Laws, Fake Genders, Fake Science,
Fake Russian Collusion, Fake Pee Tapes, Fake Independent Counsels, Fake Ukrainian Collusion, Fake Social Media, Fake COVID
Panic Porn, and now Fake Elections.
Where We Are.
[Scroll down] You cannot create a world of perfect equality because people are not equal, and the attempt to make them
so requires taking away the freedom of most for the benefit of what turns out to be a few. You cannot create a
government that is socially "just" because the people who will run it are the same people whose lies, bigotries, selfishness
and greed created the unjust world you are attempting to leave behind. The new rulers, corrupt as ever, will have more
power than ever. You can only make things worse. Much worse. I learned these truths first in my work with
the Black Panther Party, a murderous street gang whom we regarded as "the vanguard of the revolution." We did so because
the Panthers were the only leftists with guns who were willing to use them. The Panthers preyed mainly on vulnerable
blacks but also murdered a friend of mine who was white. My second awakening came with the success of the New Left's
"antiwar movement," which forced America out of Vietnam. The New Left's claims to be "anti-war" in behalf of the
Vietnamese were actually two dangerous lies. When the movement succeeded in forcing America's withdrawal from
Indo-China, the Communists proceeded to slaughter two and a half million peasants in Cambodia and Vietnam. There wasn't
a single demonstration against the slaughter. Not one. I realized then that it was never an "anti-war"
movement. It was an anti-American movement. The Left wanted the Communists to win and didn't care how many
innocent Asians were murdered in the process.
The
Flat-Earthers of Politics. For the likes of Pelosi, Biden, Obama and Co., belief and disbelief depend solely on
political expedience, not verifiable proof. For example, the progressive left touts science while insisting that babies
in the womb are incapable of feeling pain, that plastic drinking straws destroy the planet, that illegal felons contribute to
society, and that gender is no longer limited to just XY and XX. Progressives also ignore sound data in order to promote
falsehoods like law enforcement indiscriminately murders Black men, the Second Amendment kills people, and Caucasian males
are racist, illiterate hayseeds. In leftist circles, evidence holds no authority over strong belief. Thus,
progressives adhere to a mythical gospel whose inherency is altered based on partisan necessity. The left display what
psychologists define as "cognitive immunization." Hence, it's not a COVID vaccine that needs to be fast-tracked, but a societal
antidote to a virus that half the country has adopted via media inoculation, political indoctrination, and public education.
Do
Trump-Supporters Live in an Alternate Universe? This talk of the alternate, fictional reality inhabited by
Trump-supporters has been expressed many times by those on the left. After the Nunes memo was released, exposing parts
of the Russia Hoax, CNN's Brian Stelter said Sean Hannity was promoting the Nunes lies, and he called the story an "alternate
reality." Stelter's viewers knew that Trump had colluded with Russia, just as Adam Schiff said. Stelter was proud that
his viewers knew the truth. Regarding the current claims of possible election fraud, Stelter said, "This is not an
alternative reality. This is a parallel universe of disinformation." Other reporters have added that Fox is
"presenting you with absolute utter lies and nonsense and conspiracy theories. ... These viewers slash victims are not able
to differentiate between fantasy and reality. That's dangerous." It is instructive to make a list of "Things That
Are True," as asserted by the leftist media, and contrast it with the "Delusions" that are commonly held by the foolish
Trump-supporters. [Long list of examples.]
New
York Magazine Art Critic Seems to Advocate Genocide of Republicans. As Townhall colleague Kurt Schlichter has
been known to say, never forget they, that is the left, want you dead. This is not hyperbole; it is becoming clearer by
the day that the desire to consign roughly half of the nation to reeducation camps or mass graves is so prevalent on the left
that when they do, as they say, "say the quiet part out loud," no one on the left is shocked. There are no calls for
toning down rhetoric or disavowals of the proposals. Just a couple of days ago, a prominent California Democrat said
that Republicans needed to undergo "deprogramming." Presumably, this was to make us think, against all evidence, that
socialism is a viable economic theory, that same-sex marriage is normal, and that giving little kids life-altering drugs and
surgery to change their sex is good parenting.
Flashes of a Nation
in a Lot of Danger. We are in big trouble, and it's all due to lies. White America isn't racist, but
black America is being told we are, and that white people are all white supremacists and that our existence is a
threat. It's a race war that we aren't waging. It's a falsehood, and it's set to destroy us all.

Takin' it to the Streets.
The American people voted in the outsider Donald Trump in 2016. And since then, they ain't been blind. They saw:
• A Russia collusion hoax, with a ruling class-organized star chamber prosecution called the Mueller investigation,
engineered by America's ruling class institutions through leaks and falsified documents and the framing of innocent people (Lt. Gen. Michael
Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and Roger Stone) and with the MSM in obvious cahoots — all for the purpose of taking down the unwelcome outsider.
• An impeachment hoax, with Obama holdovers at the Department of Defense and State Department fabricating charges against
Donald Trump to accomplish the dual purpose of taking down Trump while covering up for Joe and Hunter Biden's obvious, egregious corruption.
• A pandemic that's moving more and more toward hoax territory. With CDC-documented recovery rates at over 99+% for almost
everyone besides the very aged and infirm, why is it being treated, especially by Democrat/leftist governors, as if it is the bubonic plague?
After
years of refusal, Democrats now preach 'accept election results'. Members of the Electoral College don't
formally meet to elect the next president until Dec. 14, but as far as the media and corporate elite are concerned, Joe Biden
is already president-elect. This, even though President Trump's re-election campaign is still legally pursuing
allegations of voting irregularities. Whatever the merits of those complaints, the Constitution doesn't give the media,
Hollywood, Silicon Valley or the Fortune 500 the power to choose our next commander-in-chief. We have specific legal
mechanisms and deadlines in place. But Trumpers are nonetheless being told to sit down and shut up. The
president's supporters might be forgiven for not rushing to submit after four years of a sustained, systemic gaslighting of
the American people. Those bellowing from the hilltops about the dangers of not accepting election outcomes are the
same people who never accepted the legitimacy of Trump's presidency.
Challenging
The Left's Post-Truth Narratives. Leftists had names for those who refused to accept that the Russians
interfered in the 2016 elections: Loony conspirator theorists, post truthers, and agents of Mother Russia. And
still they pushed it further, calling Trump a Russian agent whom Russia recruited in the 80s and who now reports directly to
Putin. The Russian Collusion hoax reached its pinnacle upon the appointment of a Special Counsel. The
simulation's impact was so powerful that even Republicans who controlled the House and Senate, members of Trump's cabinet,
and pro-Trump voices in the media pussyfooted around the allegation instead of subjecting it to derision and tossing it away
with contempt. The "investigation" took two years, cost $32 million, and exonerated Trump. The left never had the
quest for facts as its goal; hence, the left rejected the verdict and continued pushing the story to a pliant media. In
the end, leftists couldn't accept an outsider such as Trump winning, so they invented their own realities. They
convinced themselves that Americans didn't repudiate them in 2016; instead, Russian poll rigging caused the Trump
victory. Maybe some of them even began to believe their lies. This is perhaps the first instance of the
mainstreaming of a most preposterous conspiracy theory.
Bernie
Sanders Falsely Claims No Democrats Running For Office Want To Defund The Police. Senator Bernie Sanders, in an
interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, claimed "nobody" he knows talks about the need to defund the police. Tapper began by
mentioning how Democrats have suggested that pushing progressive policies in the Georgia Senate runoffs could hurt their
candidates. He cited House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) who recently said, if "we are going to run on Medicare for
All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we're not going to win." Sanders sought to change the narrative. "Let's
rephrase that," he insisted. "Nobody I know who's running for office talks about defunding the police." "What we
talk about is making police officers accountable," Sanders added, offering up several examples.
Warnock
slams Schumer's focus on control of Senate in Georgia runoff election. Raphael Warnock, the Democratic
candidate running in one of two high-profile U.S. Senate runoffs in Georgia, tried on Sunday to refocus the race as not about
regaining control of the Senate, but as "about the people of Georgia." Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" on
Sunday, Warnock, 51, sought to reframe to race as a referendum on the progressive agenda, with things like providing access
to affordable healthcare. "Chuck Schumer's name is certainly not on the ballot," Warnock said. "I will you what
is on the ballot. Health care is on the ballot — access to affordable health care. We have got 500,000
Georgians in the Medicaid gap. We have got 1.8 million Georgians with preexisting conditions."
The Editor says...
This is typical left-wing chicanery and misdirection. Nothing less than the Senate majority, for one party or the other, is on the
Georgia ballot. The voters in Georgia know what's at stake, and I doubt if more than one in a million Georgia voters is primarily concerned
about "preexisting conditions." Everybody in the world has "preexisting conditions."
Radical
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls President Trump's Campaign Rallies "Klan Rallies". Radical Muslima
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Monday called President Trump's campaign rallies "Klan rallies." Ilhan Omar's lies and
dehumanization of Trump supporters is precisely why there was violence against men and women who attended the million MAGA
march for Trump in DC over the weekend. According documents and sources previously reported by investigative journalist
David Steinberg, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married her own brother in order to defraud US immigration. In fact, evidence
is mounting that Ilhan Omar isn't even her real name.
Centrist
Democrat Praises Trump, Won't Vote for Pelosi for Speaker. Nancy Pelosi is going about her business during this
post-election period, apparently oblivious to the storm that's raging among her caucus members. In truth, it isn't so
much that there is much disagreement between radical Democrats and the "moderates." The problem, as the moderates see it, is
"messaging." The radicals make Democratic proposals sound, well, radical. Centrist Democrats want a spoonful of sugar
to help the medicine go down. They prefer to soft-pedal some of the more extreme rhetoric coming from the radicals
while embracing the ideas. They don't want to call it "government-run health care." They want their health care
plan to be "inclusive" and "affordable" and "fair." Thus is their real intent hidden from the voter.
Chuck
Schumer: 'Republicans in Congress Are Spreading Conspiracy Theories'. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
(D.-N.Y.) said in a press conference on Thursday that "Republicans in Congress are spreading conspiracy theories" about the
2020 presidential election. "We just had a divisive and hard-fought presidential election," said Schumer. "But
instead of working to pull the country back together so that we can fight our common enemy, COVID-19, Republicans in Congress
are spreading conspiracy theories, denying reality and poisoning the well of our democracy," he said.
The Editor says...
Senator Schumer's claim that "We just had a divisive and hard-fought presidential election," is untrue.
The election isn't over yet!
2020
Election Fraud vs. 2016 Russia Collusion. [Scroll down] Robert Mueller did not charge any Americans with
collusion or criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. The special counsel also considered whether
members of the Trump campaign "coordinated," a much lower standard defined as an "agreement, tacit or express," with Russian
election interference activities. They did not. Everything — everything — else we have been
told since the summer of 2016 falls, depending on your conscience and view of humanity, into the realm of lies, falsehoods,
propaganda, exaggerations, political manipulation, stupid reporting, fake news, bad judgment, simple bull, or, in the best
light, hasty conclusions. Undeterred by the facts, many in the media — and thus, many like-minded
Americans — still insist that Trump-Russia collusion was a real thing.
Four Years
of Non-Stop Fraud. We have witnessed four years of non-stop fraud promulgated by the propaganda wing of the
Democrat Party, the Mainstream Media. The fraud we are witnessing in the election results is not a new tactic; it is
just the latest example of ongoing Democrat/media corruption. The Mueller 'investigation' was based on lies. It
was known at the start that there was no real evidence of Trump/Russia collusion. It was known that this story was
started by Hillary as a means of distracting attention from her crimes. It was known that the Steele Dossier was
unverified hearsay. They knew that much of it was Russian disinformation purchased from Russians by Hillary. That
did not stop them from keeping this fraud alive, at great expense, for two years, for the purpose of undermining the
President. The media pretended, and are still pretending, that this evidence-free collusion story is very important
news and that it makes Trump a traitor and an illegitimate President.
Text
messages cast doubt on Georgia officials' 'burst pipe' excuse for pause in counting. Officials in Georgia have
not been able to produce any invoices or work orders related to a "burst pipe" at Atlanta's State Farm Arena that was blamed
for an abrupt pause in vote counting on election night. The only evidence for the burst pipe, released under
freedom-of-information laws, was a text message exchange in which one senior employee at the stadium described it as "highly
exaggerated ... a slow leak that caused about an hour and a half delay" and that "we contained it quickly — it did
not spread". "Beyond the lack of documentary evidence of the inspection or repair of a ruptured pipe, we are being
asked to believe that there is not one single picture of this allegedly ruptured pipe, at a time and in a place where
virtually everything is recorded and documented," Georgia lawyer Paul Dzikowski, who obtained the text messages, told
news.com.au in an email on Wednesday night [11/11/2020].
I
Did Not Recant!' Postal whistleblower in Pennsylvania disputes claims by media that he recanted. In a confusing
series of events Tuesday [11/10/2020], claims of voter fraud made by a mail carrier in Erie, Pa., were left somewhat
muddied. Postal worker Richard Hopkins alleged that he overheard a postmaster telling staff to backdate ballots mailed
after the Election Day deadline. Amid reports he recanted his allegation, Hopkins appeared on video to double down on
his claims. The Democrat-run House Oversight Committee cited the U.S. Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General
to claim that Hopkins "completely recanted" his allegations. [...] With the media working feverishly to dispel any thoughts
about voter fraud, the Washington Post reported that in addition to recanting his allegations in a sworn affidavit, Hopkins
admitted to postal investigators that he fabricated his claims of voting irregularities. The newspaper cited "three
officials briefed on the investigation" — rest assured these officials are very likely Democrats eager to muddy
the waters amid an election that has been marred by allegations of voter fraud, brought on in part by millions of unsolicited
mail-in ballots flooding battleground states.
Don't Give
an Inch. Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, ran on a platform meant to fundamentally reshape our institutions
in order to reshape the country with a permanent Democrat majority. Packing the Supreme Court isn't about checks and
balances. It's about institutionalizing Democrat power. Adding D.C. and Puerto Rico as states isn't about
benevolence. It's about adding four additional Democrat senators. Abolishing the electoral college isn't about
some distorted notion of fairness. It's about cementing an outsized role for coastal urban centers in selecting our
presidents. Yet these are the people — the alliance of mainstream media, Big Tech platforms, and a
Democrat party hell-bent on accumulating and permanently fortifying power for themselves — who want you to believe
that the unmonitored vote counting of unprecedented numbers of mail-in ballots which mysteriously continue to appear, as
though summoned, are completely aboveboard. They want you to listen as they lecture you about "what's good for the
country." They want you to believe them when they paint every good-faith Republican effort to ensure democratic
transparency as fascist tyranny.
Election
2020 [...] update. [Scroll down] Before I get into the flag update, I want to talk about the big
picture situation as I see it, because there's reality and then there's the narrative getting crammed down everyone's
throat. We've now reached the point where whenever you open your mouth you're going to get jumped on by a bunch of
Caring Liberals that you're stupid, insane, and imagined the whole thing. How dare you suggest that there could
possibly be any impropriety in this new voting system we just crammed into place this year for the first time. It is
the Great National Gas Lighting. The chosen lefty narrative is that voter fraud never happens, and when it does happen,
it's insignificant and changes nothing, the totally unbiased news media and big tech have called it for Biden, and you're
just crying and irrational because you're a stupid Trumpkin, so let the healing begin. Don't fall for it. These
are the same people who barked Not My President Trump's whole term, even though we've got more evidence of voter fraud in
four days than they found of Russian collusion in four years.
No Truth, No
Unity! The Democrats live in a fantasy world. It's a world in which higher taxes create jobs and
prosperity, a world where central control of complex systems produces efficiency, a world where groveling weakness results in
international respect and peace. To those old and longstanding fantasies, they've added a couple of new ones: a world
in which they can sow discord and division and reap acceptance and unity, and a world where the lies they tell will be
trusted as the truth. After refusing to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election and throwing a four-year
temper tantrum, they're now calling on the county to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and come together
as a country. On top of that they want us all to regard as true the results of an election they have worked so hard to steal.
Biden Calls for Unity After Blaming Trump
for Killing Over 200,000 Americans. If the president had done his job," said Joe Biden at a CNN town hall in
Moosic, Pennsylvania, on September 17, "all the people would still be alive. All the people. I'm not making this
up. Just look at the data. Look at the data." Every person who died from COVID-19 was Donald Trump's
fault. So said Joe. CNN was mum in response to this cruel charge, not daring to challenge this viciously handy
campaign narrative weaponized by its candidate. Biden's shot was shameless, so much so that even PolitiFact rushed to
Trump's defense. But that hardly stopped liberals. Four days later, several Democrats gathered outside the White
House hoisting a neon sign that glowed, "Trump lied, 200,000 died." The sign was paid for by the Democrat National Committee.
'Cheaters Never
Win'? You know that saying "cheaters never win"? It's just that — it's just a saying.
Cheaters win all the time. Cheaters sit out part of their NFL season for PEDs and then win our Super Bowl MVP trophies.
Cheaters bash record-setting home run numbers. Cheaters make backroom deals and insider trade in business. And
cheaters win elections. Cheaters never win — it's one of those truths you hold dear and slowly discover to
be patently and utterly false, like "life is fair."
The Fight is Now. The
results last night revealed conclusively that our supposed experts lied to the nation throughout 2020's election season with
deceptive polls, statistics, and percentages about Trump's chances. This is no surprise — we already know
our ruling class has lied non-stop to the American people about President Trump for four years. Now we are asked to
simply trust corrupt Democratic political machines in one-party cities to count the vote honestly. We will not.
Instead, Republicans must aggressively investigate and prosecute any and all wrongdoing in the attempt to steal this
election. The reason the Democratic Party just broke all the norms related to voting in America is because they are
trying to fend off a loss. They hastily changed the rules midstream by means of hundreds of lawsuits, using COVID as an
excuse, and a stream of stories of troubling irregularities is now flowing out of the remaining disputed states. The
question upon which everything now depends is whether or not Republicans are willing to stop them.
Omar
Says Supreme Court Has Lowest Approval Rating 'At 10%' — But It's Really 58%. The problem with
Democrats is that they literally make things up to avoid telling the truth. For example, men cannot give
birth — but they'll tell you they can. Accordingly, Congress, has the lowest approval rating of the three
executive branches of government — not the Supreme Court. But if you're a follower of Ilhan Omar (MN), you
wouldn't know it. She lives to lie.
Last-Minute
Voting Advice. [Scroll down] For me, the top issue is religious freedom/freedom of speech. Far too
many people are seemingly unaware of the threats undermining religious freedom and freedom of speech in this country.
Even with the riots and looting that have decimated many American cities this spring and summer, too many are not connecting
the dots and are falling for the "mostly peaceful protests" line the media and the Democrats are promoting. The
political correctness movement has declared that people cannot speak truth about current events; only certain approved
perceptions can be spoken. Facts are irrelevant; there is "your truth" and "my truth." The perceptions of an
event or incident become the "fact" regardless of further investigation or other information that shows that distortion has
occurred, such as when a person with a history of violent actions charges the police with a knife in hand and commits
"suicide by cop."
After
weeks of slander over the kidnap plot, Governor Whitmer owes us a big apology. [Scroll down] Barry Croft,
the Delaware crank facing a federal charge of conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer, posted on Facebook in June that he's "for hanging
Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians." [...] All of this blows to pieces one of the left's most useful fables. Until
now, the unquestioned story has been that the plotters — a hodgepodge of underachievers referred to by the feds as
the "Wolverine Watchmen" — were Trump-supporters who took as their "go" order the president's "stand back and
stand by" message to the Proud Boys at his September 28 debate. Anyone who watched the debate knows that the
president's words were nothing more than his futile attempt to denounce white supremacy to Chris Wallace's satisfaction.
Governor Whitmer, who happens to be one of the Biden campaign's co-chairs and "surrogates," leapt at the political opportunity
to trash her boss's opponent. She ran to the media to announce, without a shred of evidence, that the president was
"complicit" in the plot, and "that those who were plotting to kidnap her had 'heard the president's words not as a rebuke
but as a rallying cry — as a call to action.'"
Why
the Democrat Strategy Has Obviously Been, and Still Is, to "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty".
The quote that this post is based on comes from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, which Andrew Breitbart describes well
in Righteous Indignation. In that book, one of Alinsky's key pieces of advice to his readers was for them to
"Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" (he might have gotten that from Goebells, who the quote is also attributed
to). That meant, for example, to call the right the side that was fascist and hated free speech when, in reality, the left
is the fascist side and wants to shut down free speech. Despite my hatred of Alinsky and his worldview, I will fully admit
that it is good advice to "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty." If you're the type of sociopath that would
make Machiavelli's ideal prince, then, perhaps, you could follow that advice to the letter and use it to your advantage.
The Democrats certainly have.
10 Ways to Call Something
Russian Disinformation Without Evidence. [#7] Adam Schiff says it is! For the last four years, whenever
the Democratic Party has sought to make unsupportable claims, it's usually combined anonymous leaks to legacy outlets like
the New York Times and Washington Post with public statements by a party spokesperson willing to say things on record without
evidence. That person has often been California congressman Adam Schiff. Sometimes hinting that he's seen
intelligence he can't speak of publicly, Schiff has repeatedly made statements that later proved false.
Exposing
Liberals' 'Tiny Fraction' Lie. In a recent podcast, Michelle Obama, as she continues to shed her "no red state
nor blue state America but just United States of America" skin to reveal a ruthless, myopic partisan looking to settle scores
from fights unknown while making clear to those paying attention how America became so much more divided after the Obama
presidency, complains that the opposition to the protesters is "once again patently false, morally wrong, and racist." After
all, she insists, the violence is committed by just a "tiny fraction" of the protesters. [...] First of all, the assertion of
a tiny fraction is an absurdity. An estimated 570 riots were violent during the George Floyd protests, 19 people died
during 14 days of those protests, and approximately 2 billion dollars of damage has accrued from all this peace. The
magnitude of damage from a tiny fraction strains credulity, especially given the opportunity for live viewing of so many of
these riots, in which looters and harassers are clearly more than small fractions, while the other participants, if any,
cheerlead with venomous gusto.
Here
Are 11 of Joe Biden's Biggest Debate Lies. [#2] BIDEN: "We had a good relationship with Hitler before he in
fact invaded Europe, the rest of Europe." FACT: This is such a ludicrous lie it's hardly worth debunking. Franklin
Roosevelt was president during Hitler's rise. Roosevelt and Hitler both came to power in 1933. The president has sole
authority over foreign policy, and at no time was Roosevelt fooled by Hitler. He certainly tried to stop and stay out
of the European war, but Hitler's aggression towards our allies and Hitler's own hatred of America... This is such a
stupid lie. The reason Biden told this lie is what's most illuminating. Biden is embarrassed that Trump has been
able to do something Obama and Biden could not: Get North Korea to stop rattling its war sabers and firing off
missiles. Before Trump took office, North Korea (like ISIS) was on everyone's mind. Thanks to Trump's handling of
North Korea (and ISIS), we hardly think about it anymore.
There Isn't a Russian under Every Bed. There's
no doubt that Russia meddled in our election in 2016 and is attempting to do so again. But the Left's overwhelming
focus on Russia has taken on the trappings of a conspiracy theory with a comforting monocausal explanation for
everything: Russia did it. Hillary Clinton didn't blow on her own a winnable election in 2016; she was undone by
a Kremlin conspiracy. Trump hasn't said ridiculous things about Vladimir Putin because he has wildly unrealistic
expectations of being able to cut a deal with him and bristles at saying whatever the media and establishment want him to
say; he's controlled by Moscow. We aren't a bitterly divided country, as we've been through much of our history; the
Russians are "sowing divisions." And, finally, a Delaware computer repairman didn't come into possession of Hunter Biden's
laptop through strange happenstance; it was faked and planted by the Russians.
Fact
Check: Joe Biden Claims Obamacare Didn't Cause Americans to Lose Their Health Insurance. CLAIM: Former
Vice President Joe Biden said during the presidential debate Thursday night that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) never resulted
in Americans losing their health insurance plans. VERDICT: False. Millions of Americans lost their health
insurance plan because of Obamacare, which was called the "lie of the year" in 2013.
They're
Guilty Of Everything They Blamed Trump Of. They said he cheated in the 2016 election. He didn't, but they
abused the powers of government, lied to courts, manufactured evidence and lied to the American people in an attempt to make
it look like he did. They said he colluded with a foreign government to meddle in our politics. He didn't, but
they wittingly or not partnered with Putin and Russia as the infamous "Steele Dossier" on which they based their entire case
and stole 3½ years of our country's focus was itself a work product of Russian disinformation. They said he
made COVID-19 worse than it needed to be. He didn't, but they've spent the last 6 months trying to maximize our
country's pain, prolonging and promoting it every opportunity they get. They said he's made race relations worse in
America. He hasn't, but the media and their Democrat allies work hard every day to promote our country's racial
discord, and in doing so exacerbate it.
Bill
de Blasio: 'Observers' will protect NYC voters on Election Day. The city will deploy a team of "observers" to
low-income and immigrant communities to thwart voter intimidation on Election Day, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday
[10/23/2020]. "Clearly President Trump has tried to discourage people from voting, suggested election results will not
be legitimate," the mayor said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "Some of his followers clearly have been practicing
intimidation tactics around this country."
The Editor says...
How are these "intimidation tactics" being implemented? The election hasn't happened yet.
America
Is Drowning in the Lies of the Left. Truth is what a leftist says it is. It is not an objective
reality. The left has always relied on lies to gain and retain power. This is as true today in the United States
as it was in the Soviet Union. Here are examples of lies Americans are told they must hold lest they be removed from
social media, shamed, ostracized and even fired from their jobs. [...]
$400,000
'is more money than I've ever made': Multimillionaire Joe Biden casually lies to Detroit steelworkers.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden told steelworkers at a private home in Detroit last month that he's never made
$400,000 during a discussion about raising taxes on wealthy earners. "Every single thing I talk about, I pay for, by
making sure, for the first time, the wealthy begin to pay what they should be paying," Biden said Sept. 9, the Detroit
Free Press reported. "We're not going to punish anybody. No one making under $400,000, which is more money
than I've ever made, is going to have to pay more taxes," the former vice president said. In fact, that claim is
patently false.
If Republican Senators Were Like
Crazy Mazie. [A] fair-minded observer cannot avoid recognizing that the poison and vitriol in American politics
long preceded Donald Trump. It was the Democrats who changed the landscape by murdering Judge Robert Bork's name and
reputation for a generation. While Republicans repeatedly treated Democrat Supreme Court nominees with kid gloves, the
Democrats just assassinated one human being's character after another. They destroyed Bork. They came up with the
most racist, stereotypical garbage imaginable against Clarence Thomas. They lied about Brett Kavanaugh, defaming that
very extraordinary man, a man who reflects so elegantly the Divine spirit that reposes within all of us. In the
presence of his dignified wife and innocent children, and before the eyes and ears of hundreds of millions of Americans, they
proffered false accusations of rapes, attacks that never happened, fantasies of truly sick minds. [...] And then the
Democrats pontificate and hypocritically ask why our democracy is no longer civilly bipartisan as it once was.
Democrat
Party Exec Committee Member Caught on Video Admitting What He'll Do To Win Election: "I will lie... I will cheat... I
will steal". Kristopher Jacks, chair of Our Revolution in Weld County, CO, was caught on video telling an
undercover reporter for the incredible Project Veritas that "2020 is a political revolution" and how he is "going to do
everything morally acceptable to win." The only problem is, Jacks' definition of "morally acceptable" is not exactly
the universally accepted definition of the term. Jacks' explains, "I will lie. I will cheat. I will steal,"
because, according to the chair of Our Revolution, "that's morally acceptable in this political environment." James
O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, explains how Jacks' is a member of a radical 501C-4 organization bent on creating a
"political revolution, here in the United States." O'Keefe shares a screenshot from the Weld County Dems website that
reveals Jacks is also a member of the Democratic Party Executive and Central Committees.
Vote
Trump or go back to the Democrat Matrix. [Scroll down] So, cringing at the thought of what I might learn,
I reluctantly took the red pill and suddenly realized just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Those Republican leaders
talking my lingo, like John Boehner, John McCain, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney? Phonies, liars, and fakers. It
dawned on me that they were simply Democrats with cheaper suits and more generic haircuts. They let the worst president
in our lifetime stifle our economy; subordinate U.S. interests to the likes of China, Cuba, and Iran; and call every white
American inherently racist. The agencies tasked with protecting our country — the CIA, FBI, and State Dept.?
All chock-full of leftists with agendas, plotting and scheming to take down President Trump before and after he was elected.
They were so busy protecting Crooked Hillary and running coups against Trump that they failed to stop known terrorists in Boston,
Orlando, Fort Hood, and San Bernardino. [...] It became clear to me now that the mainstream media were simply propagandists for the
left who lied through their bleached teeth at every opportunity. Not only incurious about all the corruption going on
in the Obama-Biden administration, the media were active partners in the Russian Collusion scam, the Ukraine impeachment gambit,
and the overblown COVID-19 scare.
9
Warning Signs of Democrat Radicalization. "The science is settled," the left argues, so there is no reason to
use the scientific method or cost-benefit analysis to determine whether tens of trillions of dollars in global spending is
effective at fighting fluctuations in future planetary temperatures or merely effective at ceding expansive powers over every
individual on Earth to international "authorities" and government bureaucrats. Refusing to embrace socialized medicine
is just evidence of racism against Barack Obama. Refusing to elevate to the Oval Office a corrupt and congenital liar
who used her position as secretary of state to enrich her own "charitable" foundation demonstrates how sexist most Americans
are. Adhering to the Constitution as written and respecting our Founding Fathers and founding documents are proof that
America is both "patriarchal" and "white supremacist." The left is no longer interested in debate — just
pejorative labels.
Pennsylvania
Voters [are] Not Thrilled With Biden/Harris Lies, Fracking Flip-Flop. Throughout the presidential campaign,
culminating in Wednesday's vice presidential debate, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have consistently flip-flopped and have
been caught lying about their positions on fracking. But Pennsylvania, which is one of the toughest battleground states
this election cycle, is a state where energy issues are very important, which obviously includes the issues of fracking and
natural gas. An anti-fracking stance cannot possible play well there, and that does not bode well for the Biden-Harris
ticket, with both having said in the past that they would ban the practice.
Kamala
Harris Pulled her 300,000 Manufacturing Jobs Attack from a Far Left 'Prediction' — Not Based on Fact At All!
Like China Joe Biden, vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris made lying look easy last night at the VP Debate with Mike Pence.
Kamala Harris:
• Lied about stacking the US Supreme Court (she will)
• Lied about fracking (she won't)
• Lied about legalizing pot (she jailed 1,500 pot users)
• Lied about late term abortion (she will fund it)
• Lied about peaceful protests (BLM was out looting and terrorizing in Wisconsin last night)
• And she lied about America losing 300,000 manufacturing jobs in Trump's trade war with China
(never happened, came from a nonsensical far left prediction!)
Democrats have to lie because Americans don't support their radical positions — nor should they.
Kamala
Harris's Dishonesty on Abe Lincoln. It was impossible to miss how Kamala Harris, like Joe Biden, refused to
answer questions about their plans to expand the Supreme Court. But she also misrepresented history. Harris
claimed at the VP debate that Abraham Lincoln refused to nominate a candidate for Chief Justice in October 1864 because
"Honest Abe said, it's not the right thing to do" and wanted the people to vote first. Lincoln, of course, said no such
thing. He sent no nominee to the Senate in October 1864 because the Senate was out of session until December. He
sent a nominee the day after the session began, and Salmon P. Chase was confirmed the same day. And Lincoln wanted to
dangle the nomination before Chase and several other potential candidates because he wanted them to campaign for him.
Lincoln's priority was winning the election, which was necessary to win the war — and he filled the vacancy at the
first possible instant. Kamala Harris is simply inventing history.
Fact
Check: Kamala Harris Makes Up False Quote from Abraham Lincoln. CLAIM: Abraham Lincoln declined to fill a
Supreme Court seat because it was too close to the election. VERDICT: FALSE. The Senate was out of session. He
filled it — in one day — as soon as it was back.
The
24 Lies Kamala Harris Told At Last Night's Debate. Kamala Harris' body language isn't good. While Mike
Pence often looks a little like an animated statue; his movements are very placid and he's extremely still — it
wouldn't be unfair to say that Pence exhibits very little body language at all — Harris, on the other hand, is a
waterfall of body language, almost all of it off-putting. She flashes this very hostile smirk incessantly. She
does the "I won't be lectured to" [...] pose which comes off as entirely disrespectful and ugly. She has this wild
expression in her eyes which comes off almost as a tell that she's lying. She's insincere, and she's insecure, like she
knows she conned her way to where she is. She's looking for something to be offended by and seems to pounce on such
opportunities.
Fact
Check: Lincoln Didn't Delay His Supreme Court Nomination Because He Cared About Election Integrity.
Democratic VP Nominee Kamala Harris dodged a question on court packing during Wednesday night's debate by telling a
historically inaccurate tale about President Abraham Lincoln. [...] While it is true that Lincoln postponed a nomination in
1864 right before the election, "Honest Abe" didn't save his nomination of Salmon Chase, former Ohio governor, and Senator,
because "it's the right thing to do." "As ever, Lincoln was the shrewd politician and in October of 1864 he saw no
profit in alienating any of the factions of his political support by making a selection before the election," writes
President Lincoln's Cottage (PLC), a historical group and museum dedicated to preserving Lincoln's legacy. Not only was
the Senate out of session in October when Taney died until December 5 making it difficult for Lincoln to move forward with
the confirmation proceedings necessary for a new justice, but Lincoln also strategically delayed the nomination to ensure he
had Chase and other potential picks' political support through the November election.
Are Americans Tired of Being
Called 'Racist' Yet? [Scroll down] How is it that America, which twice elected Obama president, has
apparently regressed so far so fast as to deserve these repeated denunciations as irrefutably guilty of "systemic"
injustice? Two words: Hillary lost. For three years, we were dragged through the "Russian collusion"
hoax as a way of explaining what, to Democrats, was the electorate's otherwise inexplicable rejection of Hillary Rodham
Clinton's presidential bid. Democrats believe it is always wrong for Republicans to win elections; they had convinced
themselves in 2016 that they were "on the right side of history"; and America was poised to take the historic step of
electing Mrs. Clinton as the nation's first female president. When that didn't happen, Democrats immediately
denounced Trump's presidency as illegitimate, the product of a Kremlin conspiracy, and declared themselves the "resistance"
to this incipient authoritarian regime that had stolen the election. All of that was a vast pile of lies, or perhaps a
hallucinatory delusion insofar as anyone ever believed it.
Biden
Claims "Extremist White Supremacy Groups" Are "Menacing Our Communities" as BLM-Antifa Marxists Loot Businesses, Burn Cities
to the Ground. Joe Biden traveled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on Tuesday to call for unity. He did just
the opposite. Biden gave a very dark and divisive speech. At one point, Biden claimed "white supremacists are
menacing our communities." Black Lives Matter Marxists and Antifa domestic terrorists (which Biden referred to as an "idea")
have been rioting and looting virtually nonstop for several months. But Biden is blaming violence on "white supremacists."
Defending
Trump from a Tornado of Liberal Lies. The media's whitewashing of the riots is mind-boggling. The words
we use are important in accurately conveying a message; using words to sugarcoat reality is wrong. The left is using
the phrase "peaceful protests" to describe burning down cities and bludgeoning business-owners who guard their stores from
the looters. Commentators are earnestly lamenting the deprivations of poverty that supposedly are driving the poor to
steal in order to be able to eat; actually, the visuals show footage of those stealing luxury items — everything
from elite athletes' signature sneakers to big screen TVs — and partiers who are just grabbing
whatever — frequently alcohol — for the bragging rights. Then there are the serious analysts who
are using the riots as a pretext to attack Trump. And for what? Blaming him for the failures of Democrat mayors
and governors to maintain order because... Trump's hate-filled racist rhetoric caused the riots. The rioters are
obviously left-wingers, out-of-work students intoxicated by Marxist rhetoric and bored inner-city kids being manipulated in
anarchy by Antifa. All the talk about "white supremacy" groups is a smokescreen and an insult to the viewers who can
see what is actually happening despite all of the gaslighting about "mostly peaceful protests."
The Art of Propaganda.
BLM was ostensibly organized in response to Ferguson. The rallying cry of that fatal incident, "Hands up don't shoot,"
was a lie. Mr. Brown wasn't murdered; he was killed, shot while charging at a police officer after attacking a
store clerk. The narrative, however, one that has been harped on over and over — and has galvanized tens of
millions — is a wave of murders of unarmed Black men by police. That narrative is also a lie. This
past year, in a country of over 330,000,000, a total of ten unarmed black men were killed by police. Eight of these
killings were fully justified, there is maybe uncertainty on two.
Black
Chairman of Proud Boys Speaks Out after Liars Joe Biden and Chris Wallace Call Them White Supremacists. For
months now violent leftists, antifa terrorists and Black Lives Matter have been torching businesses, terrorizing communities,
shooting cops, looting stores and rioting in cities across America. But at last night's debate Chris Wallace demanded
that President Trump denounce white supremacist violence in our streets. And Joe Biden added that Trump needed to
condemn the white supremacist Proud Boys group. This was an atrocious lie. [Video clip]
Dem
Rep Says She Won't Leave DC Until COVID Deal Is Done, Gets Busted at Airport Less Than an Hour Later.
Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan was caught at the airport less than an hour after saying she would not leave
Washington, D.C. While on CNN Thursday [9/17/2020], Slotkin made it clear that she was going to stay in the city until a
new coronavirus relief stimulus package was approved by the House of Representatives. [...] However, she was seen at Reagan
National Airport less than an hour later for a flight back to Michigan.
Biden
says if Trump acted sooner on coronavirus 'all the people would still be alive'. Joe Biden indicated during a
CNN town hall Thursday that President Trump is responsible for every single coronavirus death. "If the president had
done his job... had done his job from the beginning, all the people would still be alive," the Democratic presidential
nominee told the audience in Pennsylvania. "All the people — I'm not making this up. Just look at the
data. Look at the data." Critics on social media were quick to jump on Biden for his comments.
'Bipartisan'
Transition Integrity Project Hires 'Majority LGBT, Majority Woman', Democrat-Only Consulting Firm Linked To Kamala
Harris. The Transition Integrity Project appears to have hired an exclusively Democrat-run consulting firm that
has described itself as "working with" Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, to orchestrate communications for the
purportedly "bipartisan" group. The group's website — which went up for a few hours last week before hastily
being pulled down — revealed that press inquiries should be directed to "tippress@newcostrategies.com." The
group's collaboration with Newco Strategies, however, is yet another blow to the effort's facade of bipartisanship.
The
Trump Scandal Absorption Level Has Been Reached. [Scroll down] We're being lied to on a daily
basis. We're being manipulated by a minority that, without the media, would be invisible. This minority is
literally so small that if the media were not sponsoring them, we wouldn't see them. Now, as you know, psychologically,
this sufficient works. A lot of people on our side think that we are outnumbered — and the truth is, not
only are we not outnumbered, they're not even close to outnumbering us. Despite how you feel, despite how it might
look. And I'm talking specifically about the Marxist radical leftist. Not the usual liberal Democrats that we
know are out there. I'm talking about the Antifas and the Black Lives Matters. They are nowhere near a majority
of in this country. They are a tiny minority, and we're being told by CNN and the New York Times every day that the
country has now made the move to Marxism.
Chad
Wolf Sets the Record Straight on Portland, 'Mostly Peaceful' Riots, and COVID. Acting Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf set the record straight on the violent antifa riots in Portland in his 2020 State of the
Homeland speech on Wednesday. He explained just how dangerous the riots had been for federal law enforcement and he
excoriated Gov. Kate Brown (D-Ore.) and Mayor Ted Wheeler (D-Portland) for refusing to cooperate with federal officers
as they protected the federal courthouse from rioters. Wolf also condemned the ridiculous assertion that the violence
in Portland has been "mostly peaceful."
Andrew
Cuomo Rants: 'Donald Trump Caused The COVID Outbreak In New York'. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday
[9/8/2020], New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ranted, "Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York," then immediately
chanted again, "Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York." [...] As Fox News has noted, over 6,200 elderly
residents may have died from COVID-19 in New York nursing homes according to state health department statistics. On
March 25, the New York Department of Health issued an advisory that stated nursing homes had to accept residents returning
from hospitals whether or not they had a diagnosis of COVID-19.
Joe Biden Tries
to Cancel Thomas Edison. A Joe Biden terrified that the African-American vote is slipping away from the party
of pandering made an absurd claim during a rare day trip from his basement bunker to Kenosha, Wisconsin. At least his
handlers were able to find and lead him to Wisconsin, which Hillary Clinton failed to do in 2016. Biden had just
finished a meeting with the family of Jacob Blake, the young African-American wanted on a felony warrant for sexual abuse
shot after struggling with police. As part of his portrayal of the Trump administration as oppressors of blacks and
white people as guardians of systemic racism, even if it is Democrats who run the system where urban unrest is occurring,
Biden decided to add another wrinkle — whites are stealing credit for African-American inventions.
Democrats
And 'The Big Lie'. If Democrats have the truth on their side, why do they need to lie so much? It's a
question for the ages. Every time you turn on the news or open a paper, some headline is blaring about how President
Trump is a disaster. You name it — Coronavirus, trade, the economy, race relations, the military,
schools — and there is a liberal Democrat with a press credential telling you how those things and more are bad,
and have never been worse, no matter the evidence to the contrary. Adolf Hitler called it the
"Große Lüge," or "Big Lie," and the political left has embraced it once again, this time flooding the zone
with it.
Biden Fabricates
Trump Social Security Cuts. This lie was so outrageous that it was awarded four Pinocchios by the Washington
Post. The impetus for the claim was a letter written to Chief Actuary Stephen Goss by several Senators asking him to
evaluate "hypothetical legislation" whereby the payroll taxes that provide funding for Social Security would be
eliminated. Goss must respond to such questions, but he included this in his answer: "I am not aware that
anyone has proposed the hypothetical legislation you describe." It's also unlikely that he knew that the letter was sent
at the behest of the Democratic presidential nominee, who has called for Social Security cuts.
Here's
How We Know The Atlantic's Hit Piece on Trump Is Pure Fiction. A report published Thursday by The Atlantic
cited anonymous sources claiming that President Donald Trump didn't want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near
Paris in 2018 because the troops there who died in battle were "losers" and "suckers. The media has largely reported on
this story as though it were true or at least likely to be true. "The Atlantic Magazine is dying, like most magazines,
so they make up a fake story in order to gain some relevance," Trump tweeted on Friday. "Story already refuted, but
this is what we are up against. Just like the Fake Dossier. You fight and fight, and then people realize it was a
total fraud!" Even CNN's Brian Stelter seemed to acknowledge that the claims of anonymous sources aren't as convincing.
Coincidence?
Hours After The Atlantic's Hit Piece on Trump Came a Pre-Produced Commercial. The "story" in The Atlantic about
President Trump derisively speaking of fallen U.S. troops has been widely debunked by people who were actually there, as my
PJ Media colleague Matt Margolis writes, and now there's even more reason to doubt its veracity. Within hours of The
Atlantic's hit piece on Trump, there was a far-Left "Vote Vets" commercial on the air about it and a question about the Atlantic
story was the first one asked at a Joe Biden campaign presser. [...] [I]t's as if they were working together or something.
Trump-Hater
John Bolton Debunks Anonymous Atlantic Hit Piece On Trump's Veterans Record. Fired former National Security
Advisor John Bolton, who released an anti-Trump book earlier this year that sought to offer one last breath into the
Democrats' February impeachment hopes, debunked The Atlantic hit piece published Thursday. The magazine's story relied
entirely on anonymous sources to charge the president with making disparaging remarks on WWI veterans. Thursday night
[9/3/2020], Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg offered new allegations on why the president didn't visit the graves of
fallen WWI soldiers on a 2018 trip to France, which the White House has continued to claim was due to inclement weather.
John
Bolton Rejects Atlantic Story: 'I Was There'; 'I Didn't Hear That'. Former National Security Advisor John
Bolton has disputed a story in The Atlantic claiming that President Donald Trump called fallen World War I soldiers
"losers." Bolton told the New York Times Friday [9/4/2020] that "I was there" and "I didn't hear that." The
Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg published an article titled "Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and
'Suckers'." The story also claimed that Trump skipped a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, where
the fallen of the battle of Belleau Wood are buried, because he feared rain would ruin his hair. Goldberg's sources were
all anonymous.
Prof.
Biden Claims 'a Black Man Invented the Light Bulb, Not a White Guy Named Edison.'. Joe Biden, who claims he
wants to fact-check Donald Trump in real time during the presidential debates, told a real whopper on Thursday during his
visit to Kenosha. "People fear that's, which, that which is different. We gotta, for example, why [...] don't we
teach history in history classes? A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison." Fact check:
False. Make no mistake about it, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
Joe
Biden Lies in Church, Brings 'Very Fine People' Hoax to Kenosha. Former Vice President Joe Biden told a small
audience at the Grace Lutheran Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that President Donald Trump had called neo-Nazis "very fine
people" — repeating a false claim he has made since his campaign began. Biden — whose campaign
billed his visit as an opportunity for racial healing — repeated the same script he has used over and over again,
talking about white supremacists coming "out of the fields," and "carrying torches," with their "veins bulging." He
added that a "young woman was killed" protesting against them. (Her name was Heather Heyer, a detail he often omits.)
Biden — standing before the cross — went on to say that the president, when asked about the white supremacists, said
there were "very fine people on both sides." But Biden misled his audience: Trump actually condemned the white supremacists.
Joe
Biden's Denial of DNC Mask Mandate Is Pure Panic. Joe Biden is becoming so defensive, he's being forced to
blatantly lie about his own call for a nationwide mask mandate. "We'll have a national mandate to wear a mask," Slow
Joe said during his acceptance speech at the Democrat National Convention. [...] He called for all of this in front of the
whole world. It's on tape. There's video. And now, he's lying about it. Says he never said it.
Gaslighting
America: Democrats And Media Have Turned It Up To 11. The Democratic Party and its communications office
have been telling the country for some time now that night is day and up is down. But, with the election two months
away, the psychological manipulation of the American voter has accelerated. As we've written the past two days, Joe
Biden has condemned the riots that have been wrecking cities and killing people since the May 25 death of George Floyd.
We're glad he finally got around to it. Yet he and his party are acting as if they've opposed the violence all along
and it's President Donald Trump who has failed to come out against it. But Trump, of course, has been denouncing the
riots since they began. Even when the media were determined to convince us they were "mostly peaceful."
Pushing
back against Biden's claim that Trump caused the violence. On Monday [8/31/2020], the Democrat party released
Joe Biden from the basement, hustled him up to Pittsburgh, had him read a Teleprompter, waved farewell to journalists who
weren't allowed to speak, and tucked him up again in his basement bed. The speech that Biden read was, quite possibly,
the most dishonest speech ever given during an American political campaign. A conservative Christian website put
together a video pushing back against Biden's lies, and that video has rightly gone viral. [...] For a long time, the
Democrat establishment supported what was going on. Democrats did this explicitly, with actual words of support, or
implicitly by downplaying or denying the violence. At the Democrat National Convention, no one at the convention said a
single word about the daily riots. Sometime last week, though, the polling changed, and word got out to Democrats that
Americans don't like seeing their cities go up in flames and their black neighborhoods (and businesses) destroyed.
No 'sister'
moment for Joe. On Monday, Joe Biden looked at the camera and said something like this: "Do I look like a
guy who supports lawlessness"? Frankly, he doesn't. What he looks like is: a man who has said nothing since the
riots started and then suddenly decided to talk about because the polls are changing.
A Clutch of Fools. Our friends on the left
pirouette from position to position, desperate to please the mob. Consider a point of comparison: Only a few
years ago, a bunch of irresponsible people who took out mortgages they could never hope to afford eventually lost their
houses in foreclosures. People lost businesses, too. That was, we were assured, a national tragedy, an indictment
of capitalism. But now the anointed mob is burning down homes and businesses, and progressives sniff that these
losses are "just property." Sometimes, property losses (those resulting from failure to pay a valid debt) are the
cause of lamentation and the rending of garments, and sometimes property losses (those imposed by criminal violence)
are no big deal. A cynical man might suspect that such progressive posturing is not to be taken seriously.
Don't
Be a Victim of Democrat Abuse and Voter Endangerment. Democrats have a problem. It turns out they can't
set cities on fire, destroy local businesses, and unleash rampant violence upon their residents and call it an election
strategy. They can accurately call it domestic terrorism or anti-government insurrection, but those bumper stickers
don't sell well when every car parked in Democrat zones of lawlessness from New York City to Portland has already been
ransacked and torched. What to do? Blame the whole Democrat operation on President Trump, of course.
Somehow, the guy who has been standing up to the mob for four years is secretly leading the mob, too. Joe Biden's
campaign may be bailing out the army of Marxist brownshirts toppling statues in city squares and beating people in the
streets, and Soros-installed faux prosecutors may be setting criminals free to commit new and worse crimes, but it's the
law-and-order candidate in the White House who is actually to blame. I know it's a bedrock principle of American
politics that Democrats achieve success by simply accusing their Republican opponents of whatever crimes or political
transgressions they, themselves, are instigating, but this about-face takes the cake!
17-Yr-Old
Kenosha Shooter's Legal Team Makes Amazing Statement Clearing His Name. The media has lied [a lot] about Kyle
Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who shot three in Kenosha last week, but now his legal team is correcting the record.
There has been one lie after another perpetrated by the left-wing, anti-American media about Rittenhouse. We have been
told he is a "white supremacist," but no evidence was ever supplied. He was called a "militia member." Again, no
evidence. Then they said he was "coordinating with the police." Another false statement. The media next said he
transported a "machine gun" across state lines. Nada on the proof. It was said he was "looking for someone to
kill." Yep, no evidence cited. These are just a few of the lies the leftist media told you about this young man.
Chaffetz
rips Schiff, says House Intel chair should 'lose his security clearance' for leaking classified info. If
members of Congress have leaked classified information to the media, they should be prosecuted, former House Oversight
Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said on "Outnumbered" Monday [8/31/2020]. On Sunday, Director of National Intelligence
John Ratcliffe defended his decision to scale back in-person briefings to lawmakers on election security, telling "Sunday
Morning Futures" that "within minutes of one of those briefings ending, a number of members of Congress went to a number of
different outlets and leaked classified information for political purposes to create a narrative that simply isn't true, that
somehow Russia is a greater national security threat than China."
Democrats
Turn on a Dime, Suddenly Admit These are Violent Riots. In case you missed it, the Democrat/media talking
points turned on a dime over the weekend. As if like magic, every Democrat/lefitist/communist talking head on your
television did a 180 from the talking point "these are peaceful protests" to "these are violent riots and they're all Trump's fault".
It
seems that the Wuhan virus's risks have been grossly exaggerated. Without the Wuhan virus, the Democrats have
no meaningful opposition to Trump. Not only have the Democrats weaponized the Wuhan virus to destroy the economies
under their aegis, but they've also repeatedly claimed that Trump killed 161,000 Americans. However, new CDC data show
that, of those Americans who died in the past seven months, only 6% died from the virus alone. The other 94% had
serious comorbidities that (sadly) put them at a higher risk of death from anything that came along — and
certainly from having sick people funneled into their nursing homes. [...] When the dust settles on the year 2020, we will
finally accept that the United States shut down the greatest economy in the world, that the governors in the worst hit states
issued executive orders turning their nursing homes into death traps, and that we significantly increased deaths from
otherwise treatable illnesses — all because of a bad flu. It's understandable that, in the beginning, as the
ugly scenes from Wuhan province emerged, we may have panicked and, in retrospect, overreacted. Thinking back to the
early days, the plan was not to overreact. It was, instead, to have a limited, two-week lockdown to flatten the
curve. Six months later, Democrats states are still flattening that curve without letup.
I'm tired of insufferable circus clowns who are unable
(read: unwilling) to research for themselves. [Thread reader] [Scroll down past numerous photos and anecdotes]
In 2019:
• 403 white suspects were killed
• 24 white suspects were unarmed
• 250 black people were killed
• 14 black suspects were unarmed
• 5.9% of white suspects killed were unarmed
• 5.6% of black suspects killed were unarmed
Out of millions of arrests, police rarely kill anyone of any race but when they do, the suspect is almost always armed and/or fighting and
resisting (i.e. a threat)[.] Although rare, the odds were greater that white suspects killed by police would be unarmed. BLM is
based on lies.
Blaming
the Violence on Trump Is a Bridge Too Far. Democrats can try but won't succeed at distancing themselves from
the violence they have enabled on American streets. People surely know where the Democrats have stood on this, and that
they're now backpedaling only because of polling data. Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg outright blamed
this anarchy on President Donald Trump. [...] To blame this violence on Trump because he's in office is like blaming him for
the border wall not being erected fast enough. It's like blaming him for the economic slowdown caused by the
coronavirus when, in fact, he has persistently tried, over strenuous Democratic obstruction, to sensibly and safely reopen
our economy. It would be like blaming him for abortions because they have persisted during his first term despite his
valiant efforts for the innocent unborn. It is inconceivable that Buttigieg is unaware Democratic mayors and governors
have all but encouraged this mayhem.
Democrats
and NeverTrump carpetbaggers lie about Trump's acceptance speech. The Democrats and their fellow travelers in
the NeverTrump Lincoln Project are terrified that, if Americans hear Trump without mediation, Americans will (a) like what
they hear and (b) know that neither he nor his supporters are racist. (And defamatory racism accusations, of course, are
the biggest sticks with which they can beat conservatives.) So it was that, when Trump appeared in North Carolina to
give his acceptance speech upon receiving the Democrat nomination, CNN cut away from the speech because of alleged "outright
lies." Then, the hate-filled carpetbaggers in the Lincoln Project, a coalition made up of failed Republican campaign
advisors, accused an audience member of calling Obama a "monkey" to Trump's laughing agreement. These are the actions
of ugly and desperate people.
CNN'S
Admission: Lemon, Cuomo Say They Don't 'Fact-Check' DNC Because Dems Don't Lie Like Trump. CNN hosts Don Lemon
and Chris Cuomo trashed the Republican National Convention Monday night; saying they don't "fact-check" the Democrats
"because they don't lie like Donald Trump." "Who are people going to believe? We'll see who makes the better
case. You can fact-check it to death, we can fact-check it all night. People say, 'Well you didn't fact-check the
Democrats!' They are not lying the way Trump does!" said Cuomo. "Nobody lies the way this man does, has, and will, that
I've ever seen in politics. So, he's lying to you! These people are all his echo!" added the CNN anchor.
[Video clip]
Lincoln
Project Deletes Viral Tweet after Falsely Claiming Trump Supporter Called Obama 'Monkey'. The anti-Trump
Lincoln Project was forced to delete a viral tweet that falsely claimed President Trump "relished" in a convention supporter
calling former President Barack Obama a "monkey," while the video clearly shows the term was not used. [...] But footage of
the clip in question, during which Trump claims Democrats "are trying to steal the election," clearly shows an onlooker
yelling "Spygate" — a reference to the president's allegations that the Obama administration spied on his 2016
campaign. The tweet was apparently stolen — the Lincoln Project has been called out repeatedly for copying
content from other users — from a different account, which deleted the tweet after being corrected by journalist
Aaron Rupar, who regularly covers Trump's speeches.
Biden
Says Climate Change Is One of 'Four Historic Crises' Facing the Nation. "Four historic crises. All at the
same time. A perfect storm," Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said in his acceptance speech Thursday night
[8/20/2020]. He included climate change in those four crises: [...] ["]The worst pandemic in over 100 years.
The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The most compelling call for racial justice since the 60's.
And the undeniable realities and just the accelerating threats of climate change.["]
The Editor says...
[#1] The "worst pandemic in over 100 years" would hardly have been noticed, in the absence of news media sensationalism and anti-Trump
hysteria. Moreover, it was foisted on us by the Chinese Communists. [#2] The economic crisis is almost entirely the fault
of news media sensationalism (did I mention that already?) and a string of Democrat governors (along with RINO Greg Abbott) and county-level
tyrants imposing needless lockdowns. [#3] Anarchists rioting in the streets is not a "compelling call for racial justice."
[#4] Climate change is not a threat, nor is it accelerating in either the warming or cooling direction. If not for the news media
(see above), you'd never know if the average temperature world-wide was changing one or two degrees per century, or the sea level was increasing
by a millimeter every year.
Joe
Biden's 'Four Crises' Deliberately Ignore Rising Crime and Left-Wing Riots. A startling rise in violent crime
and months of left-wing riots are not included on Joe Biden's list of presidential priorities. On Thursday night
[8/20/2020], Biden gave his speech accepting the Democrat nomination for president. The address clearly laid out his
priorities, what he called the "four historic crises." [...] There's no way around the fact that like the rest of the
Democrat party and the corporate media propaganda machine, Biden has decided to pretend months of rioting and an explosion of
violent crime just isn't happening. We all know why this makes the left uncomfortable. The riots and violent
crime explosion are all happening in Democrat-run cities. What's more, the riots are almost exclusively led by the
Democrats' Brownshirts, the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
One
Word Was Mysteriously Absent From The Democrats' Convention. Eight months ago, all but two House Democrats voted
to impeach President Donald Trump, and in February every Democratic senator found him guilty of high crimes and
misdemeanors. As the articles of impeachment were heading over to the Senate to face certain defeat, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi intoned that "This president is impeached for life regardless of any gamesmanship on the part of Mitch
McConnell. There is nothing the Senate can do to ever erase that." [...] Yet when Pelosi spoke at the Democratic
National Convention on Wednesday, she never mentioned Trump's impeachment. She didn't mention Ukraine, or Russia or
any of the other reasons Democrats spent three years arguing were grounds for his removal from office.
Joe
Biden Repeats the 'Very Fine People' Hoax at DNC. CLAIM: Joe Biden said (again) that President Donald Trump
called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville "very fine people." VERDICT: FALSE. Trump said the neo-Nazis should be "condemned
totally." Biden knows he is lying about this.
Biden
Repeats Charlottesville Lie in Dishonest and Divisive DNC Acceptance Speech. [Scroll down] So if Joe
Biden considers the antifa and BLM thugs in Charlottesville to be "those with the courage to stand against" racism, what does
he think of the antifa agitators in Seattle and Portland? What does he think of the BLM looters in Chicago and New York
City? There is something kinda weird about Biden's fixation on a three year old riot that involved white supremacists
when there are violent left-wing riots going on every night in our nation's cities that he has nothing to say
about. Not only has the Democrat not condemned the riots, in July, he lashed out at the Trump administration for
"sowing chaos and division" after Homeland Security deployed federal officers to cities to quell the violence.
DNC
Faked Convention Crowd! — Used Double Images of Kamala Supporters in Crowd Shot. Kamala Harris
delivered her DNC virtual convention speech on Wednesday night from somewhere. After she was done there was dead
silence and then some women only appeared on a screen and she waved at them. It did not look like they could see her
because they did not react. But then somebody noticed the crowd was faked! But the DNC faked the crowd of
supporters. They used double images of the same people to make their crowd shot!
So
That's How They Do It — Getting 6 Votes From 3 Voters Demonstrated in Harris "Zoom" Speech. The
faces on the monitors were an edgy technological substitute for a live convention audience, and designed to give Harris that
"pep rally" feedback that you used to get in the closing hours of the Jerry Lewis Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy. But
upon closer inspection, something more revealing was discovered. As noted in the color circles on the image [Left], the
DNC sponsors of the convention and its cutting edge technological wizardry demonstrated how they were able to create the
illusion of 30 enthusiastic supporters when only 27 people had signed on to the program to have their images broadcast back
to Harris. Drawing on similar technological breakthroughs developed with respect to Democrat party "Get Out The Vote"
efforts, the producers of the DNC Telethon simply used the image of three of the participants in two different boxes,
creating the illusion of 30 supporters who would generate 30 votes for Harris, when in fact only 27 live bodies chose to
participate in the event.
The Editor says...
Imagine that. The Democrats could only find 27 people in all the United States who wanted their pictures associated
with the DNC. Wow. No spares, no backup plans, no spare feeds from low-level party officials. Amateurs!
The Democrats' Cavalcade of Lies.
The Democrats' convention is painful to watch — a display of nonstop demagoguery about "saving the planet" from
pols who can't even save America's cities. Pundits purr that the Democrats offer a "return to normalcy." But
almost everything about their agenda is abnormal — from leaving America's border open to defunding the police to
imposing transgenderism on America's youth. The Democrats take no interest in the basic requirements of running a
country and instead tout what ruins one. [...] The party of lockdowns, shutdowns, and national mask mandates is
simultaneously in favor of open borders, amnesty, and health insurance for illegal immigrants. Much of the Democrats'
rhetoric centers on their supposed superior compassion. We are to believe that they have a monopoly on "empathy."
But are their hearts any better than their heads? This is the party of partial-birth abortion. Does Michelle
Obama have empathy for the child in the womb? Why can't the "party of science" bring itself to look at a sonogram?
Kamala's Lies.
[Scroll down] Harris heavily criticized President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus, blaming him for the
death toll, the economic contraction, the high unemployment rate, the closure of schools, homelessness, hunger, and
poverty. "The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut. Just look where they've gotten us, more
than 16 million out of work, millions of kids who cannot go back to school, a crisis of poverty, of homelessness afflicting
black, brown, and indigenous people the most, a crisis of hunger afflicting one in five mothers who have children that are
hungry and tragically, more than 165,000 lives that have been cut short, many with loved ones who never got the chance to say
goodbye." Aside from the fact that Trump has been a huge advocate for the reopening of schools, Harris did not mention
that seven of the top ten states with the most COVID deaths are run by Democrats, including New York, which has more deaths
than Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona combined.
The Editor says...
"Just look where they've gotten us" is a bit disingenuous, don't you think? The Communist Chinese brought us the Covid virus,
the Democrat governors used the virus as an excuse for draconian lockdowns and mask mandates without any notice or public hearings;
the kids can go back to school as soon as the teachers' unions quit blocking the door; the homeless bums defecating in the streets aren't Republicans;
poverty is perpetuated by handouts which in turn are perpetuated by Democrats; and most of the mothers with hungry children are not
married, again because of welfare programs. Not to mention this year's rioting and looting, abortion on demand, BLM shakedowns, male athletes
pretending to be women, kneeling during the National Anthem, voter fraud, dishonest journalism, sanctuary cities, or the failed attempt to impeach
President Trump without any evidence of wrongdoing. Yes, look where they — the Democrats — have gotten us.
The
Dems' Phony Election Mail 'Crisis' Is Over, But The Real One Remains. The New York Times on Monday [8/17/2020]
declared that the "Postal Crisis Ripples Across Nation as Election Looms." On Tuesday, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy
canceled changes he'd started to enact that Democrats claimed were "sabotaging" mail delivery at the behest of President
Donald Trump. DeJoy said it was "to avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail." House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi gloated that "They felt the heat. And that's what we were trying to do, make it too hot for them to handle."
[...] So now that DeJoy has backed down, it seems like the Democrats had a point, doesn't it? Not exactly. The
crisis as they described it never existed. It was a fiction they peddled to damage Trump's reelection bid —
one the Trump-hating mainstream press was all too eager to amplify[.] But what about all those reports of mail
delays? Well, they weren't based on any official measures or audits. The stories were all anecdotal. What's
more, most of the complaints about service disruptions and mail delays came from postal worker unions — which
have all endorsed Biden for president.
DNC
fact check: Michelle Obama and the 'kids in cages'. Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on
Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted
point made widely by Democrats. She's right that Trump's now-suspended policy at the U.S.-Mexico border separated
thousands of children from their families in ways that had not been done before. But what she did not say is that the
very same "cages" were built and used in her husband's administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.
John
Kerry Falsely Claims Obama-Biden Stopped Nuclear Iran, ISIS. CLAIM: The Obama-Biden administration "eliminated"
the threat of a nuclear Iran and built a coalition to "destroy ISIS." VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Obama-Biden emboldened
Iran and allowed the ISIS threat to become a major threat. Former Secretary of State John Kerry appeared on the second
night of the Democratic National Convention to claim that President Donald Trump had reversed the gains of the Obama-Biden
administration, including against ISIS and Iran. We "eliminated the threat of an Iran with a nuclear weapon," he
said. That is flatly untrue. Under the Iran deal, the U.S. and other nations dropped sanctions against Iran and
provided them access to billions in cash and assets in return for a temporary slowdown in Iran's development of
nuclear weapons.
Delusional
Democrats' lies and misleading claims take center stage on second night of convention. On the night the
Democratic Party officially nominated Joe Biden to be its 2020 presidential nominee, Democrats proved beyond a shadow of a
doubt that they can't win with a substantive debate about policy, resorting instead to presenting Americans with a two-hour
marathon of misleading claims, outright lies and hypocrisy. For example, Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Penn. and Florida
Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried credited Biden with the incredible job growth experienced under the first
three years of the Trump administration, prior to the coronavirus pandemic. "When our economy was on the brink, Joe led
the recovery effort that created millions of jobs, including here in western Pennsylvania," Lamb said. "Under his
leadership, America bounced back with the longest economic expansion in history." "You know, the one Trump brags about
creating," Fried quickly added. Of course, what they seemed to have forgotten is that Barack Obama was president prior
to Donald Trump, not Joe Biden. And even more importantly, the Obama-Biden economic recovery was the slowest since the
Great Depression.
Misinformed
Voters Are the Single Greatest Threat to the United States. [Scroll down] The evil genius of the media is
that they've tied being misinformed with morality. In other words, they are able to brainwash people because they make
people believe that A. they're not brainwashed, and B. they're good people for believing the things they do.
For example, the "Hands up, don't shoot!" Michael Brown slogan was a total lie, yet it spread so quickly and so far because
people wanted to believe it. People recognized on some level that it was socially desirable to do so. To believe
Michael Brown was an innocent victim of not only a racist police officer but a racist criminal justice system was to be in
alignment with the prevailing moral standards as defined by the media, Hollywood and other cultural elites. You were
seen as a bad person if you pointed out that A. Michael Brown was not innocent, B. Michael Brown was not targeted because
of his race, and C. He never said "Hands up, don't shoot" to the officer. Those things were all facts,
yet anyone who pointed them out was considered Bad and Racist.
Cuomo
calls coronavirus the 'European virus' in Trump-bashing DNC speech. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo slammed
President Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic during his Monday night speech to the Democratic National Convention,
accusing the White House of "negligence" even as his own administration drew flak for thousands of deaths in New York's
nursing homes. "Our collective strength is exercised through government. It is, in effect, our immune
system. And our current federal government is dysfunctional and incompetent. It couldn't fight off the
virus. In fact, it didn't even see it coming. The European virus infected the northeast while the White House was
still fixated on China," Cuomo said during his speech, an apparent counterpoint to Trump's labeling of COVID-19 as the "China
virus."
Day One of the Democrat Con-vention:
Pros and Cons — Watching PR Pros Combine to Con America. A pledge of allegiance by five or so White
kids. Clean cut. Again: Clean cut. Just like the kids whose parents the Dems need to win in
northern Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. No rings hanging from their noses, lips, or eyelids. No tattoos observable. Just five kids
reciting the Pledge the way I did as a kid and still do today (also without tattoos or rings hanging from my face, by the
way). Dozens of Zoom-type squares of people — mostly young, but also adults and elder citizens —
singing the Star Spangled Banner. No one kneeling. Again: No one kneeling. The
kind of patriotism that is intrinsic in the hearts and souls of Independent Voters the Dems need to win in northern Florida, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. A third
time: No one kneeling during the National Anthem. No one wearing African kente cloths and kneeling as Nancy
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer did.
'Social
Justice' Is Extortion. The Democrat Party pretense that mostly there are only "peaceful protesters" is a
blatant lie, particularly when elected Democrat officials encourage the looting and arson and attacks on police. The
claim that rioting is all about police reform and justice for African Americans no longer has any credibility. The
truth is that there is no light between Democrats and rioters, the antifa rioters serving as the militia of the Democrat
Party. The Democrat "defund the police" movement, which has hobbled the police in many Democrat-run cities, does not
enhance "black lives," which are threatened by a high rate of black-on-black crime, particularly shootings and murders, but
also theft, robbery, assault, and rape.
Kamala
Harris Lies Repeatedly in [her] First Speech as Biden's Running Mate. In her first speech since Joe Biden
selected her as his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris told multiple lies. To wit: "The president's
mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," Harris said.
False. The pandemic and its associated lockdowns, not the president, are responsible for the economic
contraction. Donald Trump is not the president of the euro zone, which suffered through an even more dire economic
contraction in the second quarter: minus 40.3 percent, on an annualized basis, as against minus 32.9 percent
in the US. [...] "Just look where [Trump and Mike Pence] have gotten us. ... Millions of kids who cannot go back to school,"
Harris said. Wrong. It is not Donald Trump's decision whether kids go back to school, because the federal government
does not run schools, but he has urged the schools to reopen. The primary reason kids cannot go back to school is
opposition from teachers' unions. The second-largest teachers' union is threatening to strike if schools reopen.
Jamie
Lee Curtis warns of Trump fans stealing mail trucks to win 2020: 'Let's not let it happen!' Celebrity activist
Jamie Lee Curtis says she's worried that President Trump's supporters may steal the 2020 election by making off with United
States Postal Service trucks. The "Halloween" star left Twitter users confused on Tuesday [8/11/2020] after peddling a
conspiracy theory of enormous size and scope.
The Editor says...
Apparently she saw a USPS delivery truck being taken away on a tow truck, and since the driver was wearing a red hat,
she inferred that the driver was an evil Republican, surmised the USPS vehicle was full of ballots, and then assumed the
Republicans had been caught trying to steal the election, which is still three months away. Sounds like air-tight Hollywood logic!
Unfortunately there are plenty of followers on social media who will believe her story, just because she used to be a celebrity.
Flashback
to when media did its job, exposed Biden for blatantly lying about his law school days. A video montage tweeted
by actor James Woods on Monday [8/10/2020] features then-Sen. Joe Biden bragging that he was tops in his law school
class followed by clips of subsequent media reports debunking his claims. In the first clip, Biden is heard variously
claiming during what appears to be a press conference that he attended law school "on a full academic scholarship," that he
was the only one in law school to have a full ride, and wound up in the top half of his class. "I was the outstanding
student in the political science department at the end of my year," Biden continued. [Video clip] "I
graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only needed 123 credits," he continued.
Subsequent clips feature news reports noted that Biden went on to admit that none of those claims were correct.
Gillibrand:
If Anyone Helps Trump with Nomination Speech 'It's in Violation of the Hatch Act'. Thursday [8/6/2020] on MSNBC's "Andrea
Mitchell Reports," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) weighed in on the possibility of President Donald Trump giving his speech accepting
the Republican Party presidential nomination from the White House, despite some suggesting it could a violation of the Hatch Act.
Trump has maintained that such an act would be legal because the Hatch Act did not "pertain to the president."
Kayleigh
McEnany Fires Back At Reporter's Question On 'Campaign' Rose Garden Speech. White House Press Secretary
Kayleigh McEnany fired back at a reporter who questioned her about President Donald Trump's "political speech in the Rose
Garden" by asking him to read the Hatch Act. [...] "We act in accordance with the Hatch Act," McEnany responded. "It's
well-established that the president and the vice president are not subject to the Hatch Act. It says this much in the
Hatch Act. It says that the Hatch Act applies to executive branch employees, which is defined in the Hatch Act as
employee, meaning any individual other than the president and the vice president."
Democrats
planted false stories in effort to derail Biden investigations, Grassley says. One of the longest serving
members of Congress in a scathing speech on Wednesday accused Democrats of resorting to dirty tricks in order to derail
investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden's dealings with Ukraine. "This is the behavior of cowards. And it has to
stop," Sen. Chuck Grassley declared. Democrats have accused two leading senators of engaging in disinformation,
while in truth the accusers are engaging in disinformation, said Grassley, R-Iowa, in his speech to lawmakers. Citing
investigations being led by himself and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Grassley highlighted important revelations, among
them that parts of the infamous anti-Trump document, the Steele Dossier, were based on Russian disinformation.
The Truth
About Slavery. We are continually misled by progressive propaganda on the issue of race. Misinformation
bleeds over to the conservative realm as well. The media, Hollywood, and academia are consumed with race, tribalism,
and hatred for our Founding. The real agenda here is power, divide and conquer to pursue some ill-conceived
Utopia. The truth is that violence is part of the Left's playbook. They are opportunists and provocateurs ready
for any excuse to attack our freedom. Much of the violence we see is a planned political strategy taking advantage of
the crisis du jour. Racism is not our Achilles Heel. It is the ubiquitous manipulation and exploitation of race
and racism that threatens our way of life. Political operatives masquerading as journalists feed the hate 24/7.
Evidence
Mounts That Mail-In Voting Will Bring Only Fraud And Chaos. For months we've heard reassurances from Democrats
that the nation can, and should, vote by mail this November. It won't, we've been told, result in an increase in voter
fraud, and we can count on the Postal Service to handle the workload. And, of course, voting by mail is vital to
prevent more coronavirus deaths. It's becoming painfully obvious that none of that is true, and that the Democrats'
only real motivation is to swing key elections in their favor.
Seven
Major October Surprises Awaiting Democrats. In the past, the term "October Surprise" has almost always involved
the Democrats turning up some last-minute dirt on a Republican. Perhaps the best-known of these was the revelation of a
driving-while-under-the-influence charge (DWI) against Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush on Friday, November 3,
2000, a mere three days before the razor-thin 2000 election. Many political analysts think this cost Bush significant votes
among evangelical Christians. [...] Then there was the alleged October Surprise that never happened. In April 1991, former
Jimmy Carter Presidential aide Gary Sick told the New York Times that then-vice-presidential candidate George W. Bush had
flown to Iran in an SR-71 spy plane just prior to the 1980 election to convince the Iranians not to release the American hostages
until after the election. A Democrat House investigated and concluded "there is no credible evidence" to support the
nonsensical claim. By the way, let that sink in. This was a time when a Democrat House could be counted on
to at least offer a fair and honest appraisal of facts).
8
Democrat Myths William Barr Debunked Between Deliberate Interruptions. When Attorney General William Barr
testified before the House Judiciary Committee last Tuesday, Democrats' rhetorical questions reinforced eight falsehoods
previously peddled by left-wing media. Notwithstanding these attempts to prevent Barr from setting the record straight,
the attorney general dismantled much of the fake news that has made headlines over the last two months.
Joe
Biden has a long history of claiming arrests which never happened. While the former vice president's family has
almost made a sport of racking up arrests and skirting jail time, Biden himself suffers from the opposite
problem — bragging about arrests which seemingly never happened. During his long career, Biden has boasted
or spoken of being collared at least three times in his life, but later confessed they were not in fact arrests, a Post
review shows. Unlike his colorful family — who have a collective rap sheet that includes drunk driving,
grand larceny, and assault charges spanning decades — Biden employs the cop tales as cute anecdotes in stump
speeches and elsewhere. On at least three occasions in February, Biden told some version of a story about visiting
Nelson Mandela in South Africa in the 1970s and being arrested with the independence hero.
Hakeem
Jeffries Lies for a Living. On Tuesday, July 28, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing featuring
Attorney General William Barr. C-SPAN posted the video of the hearing at YouTube, and it lasts for four hours and fifty
minutes. Despite the length of the hearing, the transcript shows that there were 25 instances of our representatives
uttering "reclaiming my time." Seems that at this hearing the Dems didn't want to hear what Mr. Barr had to say.
Let Portland and
Seattle burn. [Scroll down] Which brings me to Portland, Seattle and the Democrats. On the one
hand, while their cities are looted and burned the Dems maintain that in fact the looters and burners are "perfectly
peaceful." The Dems' lackeys in the media spin the same tale. While buildings burn in the background, television
so-called news reporters contend with a straight face that the riots are "mostly peaceful." Challenged, the Dems and their
media allies would say, I suppose, that "mostly peaceful" merely means over 50%. Under that rationale, you could say that
Chicago is "mostly peaceful" on any given night because more than half of the inhabitants don't get shot. World War II
was "mostly peaceful" because most of the soldiers survived. In Seattle, rioters took over an entire neighborhood for
weeks and destroyed the police precinct building. They looted, burned, extorted and killed. In a clinical case of
psycho-denial, the lefty Seattle mayor declared it a "Summer of Love."
Nadler's
bid to exploit Portland against Team Trump [was] another embarrassing failure. New York's own Rep. Jerry
Nadler was in two car crashes Tuesday [7/28/2020]. The first left him uninjured but delayed the start of the House
Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr. In the second, he humiliated himself with his
long-winded, unhinged attacks on the AG. Nadler's opening statement ran over 1,000 words, all to insist that Barr "has
twisted the Department of Justice into a shadow of its former self, capable of serving most Americans only after it has
served those in power." Barr has been "flooding federal law enforcement into the streets of American cities, against the
wishes of the state and local leaders of those cities, to forcefully and unconstitutionally suppress dissent," Nadler
claims. In fact, the Justice Department doesn't have the staff to "flood" many cities, and its main program to send in
help operates only with local agreement — such as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's OK earlier this week.
'Peaceful':
I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means. The definition of "peaceful" has been radically altered by the
Left and media. Now I have a very uneasy feeling. The media tells us the protests in Portland (and elsewhere) are
peaceful. Or at best "mostly peaceful," which is one awful euphemism. Read this tweet from ABC News
carefully. "Protesters in California set fire to a courthouse, damaged a police station and assaulted officers after a
peaceful demonstration intensified." That's like tweeting, "Japan Bombs Pearl Harbor After Peaceful Flight Intensifies."
It's not just Orwellian. It's Swiftian.
AG
Barr Defends Sending Federal Agents To Portland: 'Since When Is It Okay To Burn Down A Federal Courthouse?'. In
testimony before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr fired back at Democrats, including
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) over claims that the Portland, Oregon, protests were "mostly peaceful" and that the Trump
administration erred by sending in federal agents to help guard a courthouse from rioters. After officially gaveling in
the session, Nadler "opened the hearing by reading off a laundry list of Barr's perceived transgressions," according to the
Daily Mail, accusing Barr of everything from interfering in a number of federal investigations to derailing Democratic
efforts to create a national mail-in voting system.
AG
Barr destroys Jerry Nadler in another House Democrat testimony disaster. Another congressional hearing, another
Dem disaster. They planned a public hanging of the attorney general and spent weeks constructing their scaffold.
He is corrupt, a liar, a toady, they and their media handmaidens assured us, and the House Judiciary Committee will reveal
all. Two obstacles quickly became apparent. The first is that the Dems were led by Rep. Jerry Nadler, whose
rabidness is exceeded only by his haplessness. The start was delayed because Nadler was in a minor car accident.
That was obviously an omen, but Nadler doesn't take hints, so he plowed forward into a head-on crash with a heavyweight
opponent superior in every way. Nadler specializes in duds, demanding that former special counsel Robert Mueller
testify a year ago, only to see the Russia, Russia, Russia hysteria collapse on national TV.
The Establishment Has No Clothes.
Consider the House Judiciary Committee, which met Tuesday [7/28/2020] for a session with Attorney General William Barr.
To call that appearance a mess would be too kind. You would be safe in calling the chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee a member of the elite. But there is nothing — nothing elite about Jerrold Nadler. He's a
physically repellent, intellectually absent, morally repugnant individual who gets worse with every public exposition.
On Tuesday Nadler amazingly contended that what's happening in Portland is not rioting, that the "demonstrators" there are
"peaceful." Nadler called Antifa violence a "myth." Barr attempted to counter Nadler's spit-take-inducing statements
by outlining the litany of weapons those demonstrators have brought to their "mostly peaceful" protests and making the
obvious observation that the federal agents engaged in a nightly melee with Antifa mobsters are defending federal
property. Specifically, as in the case of Portland, the federal courthouse.
Americans
Have Never Been Gaslighted This Much in Our Nation's History. House Judiciary Committee Chairman and world
champion sprinter Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) was confronted and asked about the two straight months of nightly violence, chaos,
rioting and fires in Portland, OR. Nadler is in charge of the House committee that oversees federal law enforcement in the
United States. Nadler replied, "That's a myth." Then, he displayed the cat-like agility and speed that he is best known
for by waddling to a car and speeding away from the citizen who dared to ask him a question. Chicago Mayor Lori
Lightfoot's city is now on pace to top 700 murders in 2020. 700! More than 2,000 people have been shot and wounded
there in the first half of this year. Guns are all but illegal for private citizens to own in Chicago, but Mayor
Lightfoot knows exactly who is to blame for all the violence and chaos in her city: Other states that have not banned
assault rifles. In Richmond, Virginia over the weekend, Black Lives Matter charged the police station, set a city dump
truck on fire and damaged several buildings on the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. The good news is that the
Richmond Police Department has identified the culprits: White supremacists who dressed up in Black Lives Matter
costumes to instigate the violence.
Are
Portland's riots a 'myth'? Or are they Trump's doing? Democrats can't decide. Democrats can't seem to
make up their minds. First, they deny that protests in Portland and Seattle are violent and claim that President Trump
and the GOP are propagating this "myth" to win over voters, as House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler claimed this weekend.
But now, after hours of video evidence and multiple insider reports, Democrats are finally admitting that the riots on the
West Coast are indeed riots, but with one caveat: Trump is to blame.
Portland
Fire Commisioner Blames Cops for Starting Fires. How terrible do you have to be that even in this period of
Black Lives Matter witch hunts and anti-police hysteria, you get called out by Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler? Commissioner
Jo Ann Hardesty would like to offer a personal demonstration.
How
To Disprove The 6 Most Outrageous Myths Of The 1619 Project. Nikole-Hannah Jones, the famed conceptualizer of
The New York Times's 1619 Project, is one of the most protected and vaunted leftist personalities in America today.
Such is the fascination with her venture that Oprah Winfrey plans to turn her ideas into a series of films and televised
programs. Telling the story of the American people is always a laudable goal. But we must counter attempts to
indoctrinate citizens into believing that America is a distinctly callous nation. The 1619 Project's fabrications
commit a horrific injustice on American history. The project perpetuates dangerous myths about the country's founding,
and by painting its roots as structurally racist and oppressive, it stokes racial tensions. Yet despite the project's
myriad erroneous claims, they have been widely accepted and even celebrated. This must be countered. So, here are
some of the most egregious myths this project foists on the country, along with corrections. [...]
The
Implosion of the Left's Language Circus. Recent fiascos in Portland and Chicago indicate a dangerous turn for
the left. Portland's mayor let anarchists terrorize the downtown for fifty days, then fueled a psy-op campaign blaming
the destruction on Trump. Chicago's mayor, Lori Lightfoot, lashed out at Donald Trump just before hundreds of
protesters hurled projectiles at police before a Christopher Columbus statue. Next, they marched to surround her house,
yelling expletives at her. Conservatives worry, understandably, about whether the public will blame this chaos on
Trump. Many signs indicate that the left's propaganda machine has worked. As a personal endeavor, I contacted
Democratic friends and relatives during June and July to see if we could find common ground. There exists no common
ground. All the Democrats I know hold Donald Trump personally responsible for the spread of COVID. They believe that
racial violence has increased under Donald Trump. No Democrat who spoke to me believes there is any rioting in the
United States other than white supremacist provocateurs. They believe that cancel culture is not real, not a problem,
and not something that leftists participate in. They do not believe that the media have any bias.
Cuomo:
Nursing Home Policy Criticism Is 'All Politics'. During a press conference on Friday [7/24/2020], New York
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) stated that the criticism of his nursing home policies during the coronavirus pandemic is "all
politics" and that the issue is being pushed by those who are "politically motivated" at the New York Post and Fox News.
The
Latest Hoax — Trump Sending Nazi Brownshirts to Democrat Cities. The hatred of Donald Trump by the
Democrats and some Republicans knows no boundaries. It is depraved and desperate at the same time. The latest
attack on Donald Trump is pushing the meme that Trump is Hitler resurrected and is sending his "Nazi" storm troopers to
cities such as Portland in order to terrorize women and children who are engaged in simple peaceful protest. The newest
lie insists that Trump's storm troopers are acting like Pinochet's secret police and rounding up innocent people and shoving
them into black vans. The implication is that these poor, humble souls are being disappeared just because they want to
exercise their First Amendment rights.
Word Salad
in the Time of Coronavirus. [For example,] "Social Distancing." Why "social" distancing? Standing six
feet apart is physical distancing. There's nothing social about locking yourself at home and not seeing other
people. Meanwhile, we're communicating via "social" media, making us more physically distant than ever. It's a
safe bet our health — mental and physical — would be in a better state if we did actually socially
distance, that is, distance ourselves from Facebook and Twitter. [...] "New normal" is a perfect example of
doublethink. "Normal" is what we are used to. If it's new, we're not used to it — it's
different. Don't tell us we will have a "new normal" when what you actually mean is that things are going to be
different. And this is precisely what politicians don't want to say. The power of the concept of "normal" is
its utility for weasel politicians. "Normal" is something invisible. We don't think about it; we consider it
metaphysically preordained, something we have no control over; it's just, well, normal. The verbal construction
"new normal" leads us unconsciously to accept as inevitable a radically different society crafted by the
powers-that-be — there's nothing to see here; accept it, that's just the way it is — it's "normal.'
The
Democrats' Self-Fulfilling Nightmare. The coming U.S. presidential election is affecting the present as if it
has already happened. For example, many pundits appear to know that Joe Biden has won. As Nobel Prize-winning
economist Paul Krugman tweeted, "where we are now: at this point, it will be almost impossible for Trump to win reelection
legitimately. It's quite possible, however, that he will try to steal the election. And if you don't think that
can happen, you're not paying attention." The mechanism for the electoral theft is naturally also known. The
Russians will steal the presidency for Trump.
Democratic
Senator Claims, Without Evidence, That The FBI Ran 'Fake' Kavanaugh Tip Line During Confirmation Battle.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.) accused the FBI of running a bogus tip line while investigating allegations of sexual
misconduct against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the latest in a sequence of serious but unsubstantiated claims the Rhode Island
Democrat has made about Kavanaugh and his confirmation process. The senator spoke Wednesday by Zoom to an Ohio chapter
of the American Constitution Society (ACS), a progressive judicial group. Three attendees told the Washington Free
Beacon that Whitehouse twice asserted that the FBI operated a "fake" tip line while purporting to investigate the justice.
Regarding
the Wuhan virus, if you think you're being lied to, you're right. Ever since the Wuhan virus appeared on the
scene, Americans have been bombarded with information, misinformation, re-information, and disinformation. In the
beginning, this information soup was understandable, given that the virus was new. For that reason, many communities
agreed to be shut down for a couple of weeks "to flatten the curve." Since those murky beginnings, though, we've learned
a lot about the virus, including how to treat it and how to protect the elderly, making it significantly less lethal.
Still, politicians — usually Democrats — are using the virus as an excuse to achieve non-virus
goals. For example, they're pushing for more government handouts and dependency, a weakened economy favorable to Biden,
mail-in voting, and limited religious worship. [...] What's starting to leak out, though, is that these new data about rising
cases and deaths are being manipulated, whether intentionally or accidentally. This is especially true for data coming
from Florida and Texas, two states that seemed to be handling the virus successfully without destroying their economies.
Adam
Schiff Just Can't Stop Lying. Adam Schiff just can't stop lying. The California huckster was at it again
when President Donald Trump, in an act of both justice and mercy, commuted the death sentence I received at the hands of the
deep state in a Soviet-style show trial in Washington, DC back in January. When the news of my commutation was
released, Schiff almost immediately recycled the same discredited BS that he had pushed for three years: "Roger Stone
was the link between the Trump campaign and Russian Intelligence officer(s)." Schiff is well aware of the fact that my
completely benign exchange on Twitter direct messages with the persona of Guccifer 2.0 took place after WikiLeaks had
already published all of their documents regarding Hillary and the DNC and that the content of this exchange showed no
evidence whatsoever of collusion, collaboration or cooperation. He also knows I released the entire exchange in 2017 so
none of this was a revelation.
Hillary
Clinton on 'Daily Show': Americans should 'be ready' if Trump won't 'go quietly' after election. Hillary
Clinton appeared as a guest on Monday's episode of "The Daily Show" where host Trevor Noah asked the former secretary of
state about the potential changing of powers at the White House after November's election. The former Democratic
presidential nominee appeared virtually for an interview on what Noah has been calling "The Daily Social Distancing Show"
amid the coronavirus pandemic. Their friendly interview quickly turned to the topic of voter suppression, with Clinton
taking a jab at Republican leaders, alleging they're trying to stifle votes from people they believe will vote blue in
November. "Republicans have two prongs to their strategy to try to win," she explained. "The first is to try to
prevent as many people who they think won't vote for them from voting. So make the lines really long where young people
vote or African-Americans vote or Hispanics vote. Try to make vote-by-mail as difficult as possible. Claim it's
fraudulent when indeed it's not. In fact, that's how Donald Trump votes and everybody who knows about vote-by-mail
understands that."
The Democratic Party hates
science. Today's Democratic Party insists that a beautiful, full-term human baby just about to be born isn't
really a human being and therefore can be slaughtered at will — maybe even after he or she is born —
just as long as "the mother and her doctor" agree. The Democratic Party's top leaders also passionately warn that the
entire earth will become uninhabitable within 10 years due to global warming — unless, that is, America goes
full totalitarian/socialist right now and adopts their Green New Deal at an estimated cost of $93 trillion. After
all, it's "settled science." The modern Democratic Party likewise contends there are dozens of different genders that
never before existed throughout history, that men can menstruate, get pregnant and have babies, and that if you don't agree
with all this, you're a deplorable bigot. And anti-science.
Ocasio-Cortez:
NYC Crime Surge 'Maybe' Due To People Being 'Scared To Pay Their Rent,' Don't Have Jobs. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed on Sunday that the surge in crime in New York City is happening because people are "scared to
pay their rent" and because of high unemployment numbers due to the pandemic. Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks and other
misleading statements during a Zoom video call that was posted to Twitter by The Hill. Ocasio-Cortez claimed without
evidence that the recent $1 billion budgetary cut by the New York City Police Department wasn't "really real." [...]
Ocasio-Cortez's suggestion that the increase in crime is simply people stealing bread to try to feed their families ignores
the widespread looting of luxury stores that happened in the city during the recent riots. It also ignores the fact
that New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio resisted calls from top Democrats and Republicans to deploy the National
Guard to restore order and stop the violence and looting.
Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and other leftists gaslight America about the sudden crime surge. Socialist Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez is out explaining things again, obviously taking Americans for fools: [...] She's got her Hugo Chávez on,
nattering on and on in some cloud cuckoo land derived from 19th-century socialism, as if to "re-educate" her audience that
the new crime wave engulfing New York and America's big blue cities is all a problem in their heads, merely an issue of
desperate people trying to steal loaves of bread, instead of a monstrous descent of one of America's great cities into its
pre-Giuliani-era Fort Apache and "Shattered" era. Call it the great gaslight, a phenomenon where you're living
something but not supposed to believe the evidence of your own eyes. We're now seeing it in spades from the left as the
crime wave mounts.
Liberals
Will Come For You Sooner Than You Think. Liberals have spent the last few months wiping clean every piece of
history they can. From statues to the very founding of our country, Democrats have declared what was to not have been
and what wasn't to have always been. The joke known as the 1619 Project has rabid racists and professional victims at
its helm, and under the banner of the New York Times, rewrote history from the very founding of our country to be all and
only about racism. It was the first big public push to convince people that nothing good exists from America's
existence. Naturally, it was rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize and is now being incorporated into high school curriculum
across the country. Wildly inaccurate — refuted by actual historians, scholars, and common
sense — none of this matters. Your kids will be indoctrinated with these lies and bile in public schools for
years to come. But liberals aren't content for the long con this time. They smell blood and have their
Brownshirts in the streets and in a frenzy. They're going to take as much as they can right now.
Democrat
Senator: Founding Fathers And American Heroes Are 'Dead Traitors'. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.)
criticized President Trump's 4th of July speech at Mount Rushmore for focusing on the accomplishments of historical
figures. "He spent all of his time talking about dead traitors," Duckworth, a potential Biden vice president pick, told
CNN in an interview. In his speech, President Trump listed numerous historical figures and celebrities who played a
large role in American history. Among those listed were the founding fathers, the presidents of Mount Rushmore,
Fredwrick Douglass, Ulysses S. Grant, Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, and Elvis Presley. "Our nation is witnessing
a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children," President
Trump said, as he highlighted the accomplishments of notable Americans.
Ingraham:
If lying was an Olympic sport, Democrats would be 'draped in gold medals'. Laura Ingraham defended President
Trump against withering criticism from liberals Monday night [7/6/2020] after a weekend of backlash over his July Fourth
remarks. "You can always tell how effective one of the president's speeches is by how frenzied the reaction from
liberals is," Ingraham said. Trump on Saturday vowed to "safeguard our values" from enemies within — leftists,
looters, agitators — in a Fourth of July speech packed with all the combativeness of his political rallies.
Tammy Duckworth Goes
on Bizarre Rant About Trump's Speech, Cites 'Dead Traitors' and Russia. Sen. Tammy Duckworth went on CNN
this morning [7/5/2020] to make it clear that her party can't be counted on to protect even the most basic tenets of America,
including the idea that statues of George Washington shouldn't be torn down. [...] They can't keep this charade up
forever. In fact, I'd suggest it's already been exposed. Trump's speech was not about Confederate monuments and
everyone knows it. We can all see the video from last night of a Columbus statue being destroyed in Baltimore. We
can see Boston pulling down their Lincoln statue and George Washington being desecrated with red paint to symbolize
blood. In short, Americans are not stupid and pretending that this is just about Confederate generals stopped being
persuasive a long time ago. Duckworth knows this, but she's too scared of the political consequences to actually
address the real issue. In fact, when she is asked specifically about George Washington monuments being destroyed, she
tacitly endorses the behavior.
Senator
Duckworth and Most of the Press Are Lying about Trump's Speech. Senator Tammy Duckworth says that, during his
address at Mount Rushmore on Friday, President Trump "spent all his time talking about dead traitors." This is a flat-out
lie. It is entirely untrue. It is invented from whole cloth. You can read the speech [elsew]here and see
for yourself. One doesn't have to like President Trump — or to have enjoyed his speech — in order
to acknowledge that Duckworth is lying. One needs only to read what was said.
Joe
Biden Ad: Business Owner Attacks Trump's Pandemic Response, Doesn't Mention Her $27,000 PPP Loan. A Joe
Biden campaign ad features a woman who says President Donald Trump "left the American people behind" in his handling of the
coronavirus outbreak — without mentioning a relief loan she received to keep her business afloat. Tiffany
Easley, owner of NV My Eyewear, an optometry and eyewear store in Philadelphia, PA, received a $27,000 forgivable loan from
the federal government via the administration's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Biden
Trots Out Small Business Owner Who Got Thousands in Gov't Assistance to Argue Trump Isn't Helping Small
Business. A new campaign video from Joe Biden features a small business owner who says the Trump administration
did nothing to help her during the coronavirus pandemic. Unmentioned is that she received thousands through the
administration's Paycheck Protection Program. Tiffany Easley, who owns NV My Eyewear in Philadelphia, received a
forgivable $27,000 loan during the first phase of the program in April, she disclosed to local news outlet BillyPenn.
She disclosed the same to Biden during a June 11 roundtable he held in Philadelphia, telling him her major concern was
creating safe conditions for her furloughed staff to come back into the store. But the disclosure is missing from the
video testimonial Easley provided for the Biden campaign, in which she says the administration made "everything worse."
Harry
Reid strikes again. When he was running the U.S. Senate in 2012, Harry Reid asserted, without presenting
evidence, that an anonymous source had told him that Republican nominee Mitt Romney was a tax cheat. "So, the word is
out that he has not paid any taxes for 10 years," the majority leader declared from the Senate floor. "Let him prove
that he has paid taxes, because he hasn't." It was a classless move from a classless politician. As it turned out,
his comment didn't bear any relation to reality. In reality, it turned out that Romney paid millions of dollars in
taxes each year and gave a significant amount to charity. Asked years later if he had any regrets about the dastardly
attack, Reid replied, "Romney didn't win, did he?"
Marie Harf wrongly slanders Confederates as traitors.
In a discussion on Fox News about the tear-down of America's monuments and statues taking place in hot spots around the
nation right now, liberal pundit Marie Harf, who served as a national security adviser for Barack Obama, said that "process,"
not mob violence, should dictate the outcomes of these structures. She said, in the end, the Confederate statutes
should be removed because the Confederates were "traitors" to the country. Spoken like a true elitist. Spoken
like a true-blue "The Federal Government Knows Best," anti-states' rights elitist. Spoken like an elitist who's
forgotten or worse, dismissed, historical truths.
The DNC
panic is palpable. Circumventing the rigors of election campaigning and hiding Joe Biden from the American
public, the DNC just announced there won't be a large Democrat conclave in August, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic. Going
forward, Mr. Biden will continue a tightly controlled, wholly scripted campaign from the basement of his Delaware home,
concluding with a "virtual" nomination. Upon affirmation, he will then travel to Milwaukee to deliver his acceptance
speech to an empty arena. In fact, Tom Perez, DNC chairman, informed the delegates they aren't welcome in
Wisconsin. And while the DNC isn't planning to completely scrap the entirety of their convention programming, his fear
is palpable and most likely attributed to the likelihood of convention rioting, Mr. Biden's declining mental acuity, and
the untimely rise of the angry Marxist mob.
Jim
Jordan Absolutely Goes off After Jerry Nadler Gaslights Antifa as 'an Imaginary Thing'. The mainstream media
and Democrats simply can't seem to make up their minds when it comes to the radical left-wing anarchistic group Antifa.
They're either 1) modern-day versions of the WWII Normandy beach heroes and saving America from alt-right racists, 2) a
fringe group joining up with white supremacist agitators to disrupt peaceful protests in the aftermath of the death of George
Floyd, or 3) they simply don't exist. That they are a mythical creation was posited by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY)
during a Thursday [6/26/2020] debate on the Democratic-led House's police reform bill. Nadler, the House Judiciary
Committee Chairman, stated on the House floor that Republicans were "dealing with imaginary things like Antifa".
Andrew
Cuomo's big lie on nursing homes and The Post. Gov. Andrew Cuomo keeps trying to dodge the blame for
Health Commissioner Howard Zucker's deadly nursing-home order by pretending that The [New York] Post has created a phony
scandal for purely partisan reasons. It's a big, fat lie — and easily disproven. At least three times
in the last month, he's pushed his "it's just all politics, and it's frankly The New York Post" line, claiming it's a
vendetta by columnists Michael Goodwin and Bob McManus. Huh. Then why have The Associated Press and Politico
reported the same basic facts? Why has PolitiFact (run by the nonprofit Poynter Institute) debunked his claims?
The central issue is Zucker's March 25 order telling New York nursing homes to admit patients from hospitals without regard
to their COVID-19 status — indeed, without testing. That mandate clearly led to thousands of coronavirus
fatalities in the state.
Democrat
Senator Tim Kaine: "The US Didn't Inherit Slavery From Anybody. We Created it". Democrat Senator
and former VP running mate of Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine (VA) on Tuesday [6/16/2020] said the United States created slavery.
[...] "The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody. We created it," said Tim Kaine as he droned on about
racism in America.
The Democratic Party hates

never before existed throughout history, that men can menstruate, get pregnant and have babies, and that if you don't agree with
all this, you're a deplorable bigot. And anti-science.
Democrat
Privilege Warps Everything. Just look at what the Democratic Party can accomplish when it doesn't have official
power. It managed to turn Hillary Clinton's email scandal and Barack Obama's spying scandal into a Trump-Russia
scandal. It managed to turn Joe Biden's Ukraine bribery scandal into a Trump impeachment. It lost control of the
Executive Branch in 2016 but managed to create in Robert Mueller's special counsel an executive authority above the
president's. It lost the Obamacare referendum that same year but remained sufficiently allied with John McCain to
preserve its socialist legacy. It lost all legislative authority to prevent Congress from investigating the greatest
political scandal in our nation's often scandalous history — Barack Obama's use of our intelligence and police
forces first to spy on the Trump campaign and then to subvert the peaceful transition of power by conducting a civil servant
coup d'état — but succeeded in convincing Paul Ryan not to issue a single congressional subpoena in pursuit
of the truth, [...] The whole country has witnessed the highest levels of our government working to overthrow a legitimately
elected president, but some retired generals and retired judges and partisan journalists and activist academics see the
president as the real threat to our republic anyway.
The High Price of Forgetting.
America should never forget their names: Garnette Ramantar, Kareem Brunner, Olga Garcia, Angeline Marrero, Cynthia
Martinez, Luz Ramos, and Mayra Rentas. These seven innocent people were murdered on Dec. 8, 1995, when a deranged
supporter of Al Sharpton burst into Freddie's Fashion Mart, shot four people and set fire to the Jewish-owned business on
Harlem's 125th Street. Everyone who knows the story of how Sharpton's shakedown protests against "white interlopers"
incited the Freddie's Fashion Mart massacre must consider Sharpton permanently tainted as a murderous hatemonger.
Sharpton has never repented for inciting murder and, because he has dishonestly denied responsibility, he ought to be
regarded as entirely untrustworthy — falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. No honest person would
publicly associate with this race-baiting demagogue, much less provide Sharpton a platform to promote his wicked worldview,
and yet there he was on every TV network this week, preaching the eulogy for George Floyd.
Where Black Lives Don't Matter.
Black Lives Matter was founded in the aftermath of the 2014 Ferguson, Missouri police killing of an 18-year-old black American named Michael Brown.
Before the investigation of the fatal incident had barely begun, Al Sharpton, one of President Obama's most trusted advisers on race, rushed to Ferguson,
where he helped spread an unconfirmed rumor that Brown was killed with his hands in the air while trying to surrender to the police officer who shot him.
With all due respect to the [...] protesters, "hands up, don't shoot" is political propaganda of the most poisonous kind. As a matter of fact:
• Multiple witnesses deemed to be credible saw the killing in real time.
• Of that group, none was white; all were black.
• A lone witness testified that Brown had his hands up and was trying to surrender when Officer Darren Wilson shot him.
That witness was Dorian Johnson, who was with Brown when Brown stole cigarillos from a convenience store shortly before he was killed.
Johnson's testimony was deemed not to be credible by both the grand jury and the U.S. Department of Justice.
• Multiple other black witnesses, all of whom were deemed credible by the investigating authorities, testified that Michael
Brown (1) charged Officer Wilson after refusing to obey Wilson's commands and (2) reached inside Wilson's patrol car and fought with Wilson
for control of Wilson's service revolver. Brown was shot and killed during that altercation.
• Wilson was fully exonerated by the grand jury and the Obama Department of Justice.
Black Lives Matter was founded on a lie. I do not say that to be inflammatory — I say it because it's true.
"Hands up, don't shoot" never happened.
Biden
Campaign Director, James Clyburn, Says: There Was No Violence, Looting, Riots, Arson or Police Attacks in Washington DC
Last Week. Joe Biden's Campaign Director James Clyburn takes denial of truth to never-before-seen levels of
avoidance and lying. During an interview earlier today the Biden campaign architect claimed there was no evidence of
violence in Washington DC last week. According to Clyburn there was no violence, rioting, looting, arson or attacks
against police. The burned out cars, buildings and churches, the videos of rampant looting, and the 150 police officers
taken to the hospital were apparently staged and made up. According to his claims, none of what you saw actually
happened. Clyburn seems confident media will protect him and not call him out on his false claims. Judging by the
non-response of Neil Cavuto, his confidence is accurate.
'We
Need to Have a Conversation'. Recently, the ability to "have a conversation," let alone actually solve a
problem, has shriveled like a piece of rotting fruit. In part, the violence of this last week demonstrates that, but
the problem has been a long time developing. Any productive conversation requires certain components, and if any are
missing, communication, and therefore the development of solutions, becomes impossible. Let me list these components:
[#1] Vocabulary: Those trying to talk to each other must have a common vocabulary that they use to mean the same
things. [...] I've lost any understanding that I ever had of what racist means and I have no idea at all what is meant
by systemic racism. What system? Are there racist policies in the post office? Do police departments have
black arrest quotas? If there are policies at fault (I think of the welfare system, the easy availability of abortion
services, or the deplorable condition of schools in black neighborhoods), those affected need to address those issues
directly. Stealing Rolex watches isn't likely to be helpful.
Black
Caucus PAC Defames WH's Kayleigh McEnany As 'Racist' In Baseless Petition For Her Resignation. The
Congressional Black Caucus PAC is circulating an online petition that calls for the resignation of Donald Trump's White House
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany over supposed "racist statements" she made about former President Barack Obama.
There's just one problem. The petition does not explain what those statements are. There are no pull
quotes — or any quotes at all — citing what supposedly bigoted words the Trump spokeswoman uttered
about the President's predecessor.
Most
of This Turmoil Has Been Based on a Lie. On May 25, 2020, a citizen of these United States by the name of
George Floyd, died while in police custody, even though he was apparently not resisting the officers responsible for his well
being while in custody. This tragic event was captured on the cellphone cameras of bystanders and immediately went
viral. Unless a true sociopath, no human being could watch that video and fail to be absolutely horrified by the
apparent disregard displayed by the officers present at the scene, as Floyd's life ebbed away right in front of them and
without their intervention. For the first time in a very long time, all points on the political spectrum were united in
outrage about the same thing and for the same reason. We were and remain outraged at such a blatant and callous
disregard for human life. The day after the incident, citizens demonstrated that outrage by taking to the streets in
protest and to "petition the government for the redress of grievances." This, a classic case of why the the First
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution exists at all. Then something changed. The demonstrations became about a
lie. The demonstrations became a protest about Systemic Police Brutality based on racism. It became about police
far and wide, "deliberately hunting down and killing" Black men.
Why
Should We Trust Health Experts Ever Again? Living in back-to-back crises has certainly been an interesting
experience. We have gone from health experts telling us to shelter-in-place for months to out in the streets in crowds
that are not at all socially distant. We have gone from businesses being shut down by the state to burned down by
rioters. [...] In all of this outdoor activity, though, we suddenly seem to be forgetting that we've been told for months not
to gather in large crowds. A couple of weeks ago, Florida and Georgia residents (along with the residents of other
Republican states) were being chastised by the national media for daring to go out to the beaches. Citizens who were
wanting to go and operate their businesses and conduct life as usual were ridiculed by pundits from CNN to MSNBC. We
were told by health experts that going out was ill-advised. [...] Those same health experts, though, rushed out a statement
in support of the mass gatherings and protests over the death of George Floyd. They put out a letter with signatures
and everything.
Institutional
racism' among police? Let's look at the numbers. About twice as many white people as black people are
killed by police. In fact, in about 75 percent of police shootings, the decedent is not black. Of course, that is
not what you would grasp from consuming media. Take the website statista.com, specifically its breathless focus on
"Hate crime in the United States" — counterfactually insinuating that any shooting involving a black victim must
be a "hate crime." Here's their big headline from Tuesday: "Black Americans 2.5X More Likely Than Whites to Be Killed
By Police." It is fiction. It is sheer demagoguery, peddled as American cities are besieged by rioters in the wake of
George Floyd's killing by Minneapolis police.

days ago, the site posted another series of bar graphs, showing that, in fact, whites are nearly twice as likely as blacks to
be shot to death by police.
Lefty
pols have put cops everywhere in peril. On Tuesday night [6/2/2020], as Mayor Bill de Blasio went on CNN to lie
to Chris Cuomo that all was "calm" in New York, the exhausted men and women of the NYPD were being bruised and battered for
the fourth night by criminals running amok under the cover of George Floyd protests. "It's been a good night," de
Blasio said. As he spoke, the reality on the streets was revealed in a video going viral on Twitter of a "looting
party" in Soho, with hundreds of revelers milling around looted stores and dancing on cars. At the same time, over on
Fox News, NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association chief Ed Mullins was making an extraordinary plea for the President Trump to
intervene to rescue a mighty police force that has been hobbled and abandoned by its political masters.
The
Minneapolis Disaster has Democrat Fingerprints All Over It. [Scroll down] Despite these false claims by
Democrat politicians, the riots were and are purely a Democrat product. The Democrats chose to support Black Lives
Matter and to coddle Antifa. Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison had previously posed with a copy of
Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, touting it as "the book that strike fear in the heart of" Trump. Now Ellison
has been tweeting conspiracy theories that blame the riots on "white supremecists". But, the only white supremacists on the
scene are Democrats. Minneapolis' last Republican mayor stepped down in 1974. While his city burned, Mayor Jacob Frey,
a Biden supporter, attacked President Trump, whining, "weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions,
weakness is pointing your finger at someone else in a time of crisis." That's exactly what Frey and the Democrats have
been doing in the face of the riots. Frey, a former community organizer, had repeatedly tweeted support for the Black
Lives Matter racist hate group that is carrying out much of the violence. Instead of taking responsibility, Frey is
blaming President Trump.
Twitter
needs to fact-check these tweets from prominent liberals. [Scroll down] Start with a 2017 tweet from CNN
contributor Ana Navarro claiming that an "Ivanka Fund got $100 million pledge from the Saudis and UAE." The truth:
The cash went to a World Bank initiative for female entrepreneurs. Navarro's tweet garnered more than 43,000
retweets. Or how about a 2019 tweet from actress Nancy Lee Grahn that featured photos of migrant children at a border
detention center and railed against Team Trump for allegedly torturing kids? As Internet sleuths pointed out, Grahn's
photo was cropped to remove the timestamp: 2015. It garnered nearly 50,000 retweets anyway. Then there was Rachel
Maddow's blog's 2018 claim that the White House had edited the video of the president's Helsinki news conference with Russian
strongman Vladimir Putin "to remove [a] question about whether [he] wanted Trump to win." The Washington Post and numerous
other outlets debunked the claim, yet the tweet is still up, with 24,000 retweets — and no Twitter warning label.
11
Democrats Who Lied, on Twitter, About 'Fine People' in Charlottesville. Twitter applied a fact check to
President Donald Trump on Tuesday because he claimed that voter fraud was more likely under the Democrats' proposed
nationwide vote-by-mail system — something even Democrats once believed.
Gretchen
Whitmer slips state money to leftist political operatives to spy on Michiganders, then lies about it. It's
pretty amazing how many negative activities gather around Michigan's hard-faced and ambitious Democratic governor, Gretchen
Whitmer. Besides her outrageous performance on the coronavirus crisis — banning sales of garden seeds,
seeding nursing homes with COVID-19 patients, forcing private dam operators to overfill their reservoir for greenie purposes,
causing two of them to burst — she's also a liar. We saw that clearly enough when her husband tried to put
himself at the front of the boating queue by citing his marriage to her — cronyism at its worst — and
she claimed that it was a joke. It was a story so egregiously bad that the only reason we didn't comment about it here
at American Thinker earlier is that we mistakenly thought the story was fake. Now there's the matter of Whitmer's
political corruption — succoring her political cronies at state expense to spy on Michiganders to beef up the
Democratic Party operation, which she's also lying about.
The unmasking
of Joe Biden. For three years, many in the media have expressed horror at the idea of the Trump campaign
colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. We now know there never was credible evidence of
such collusion. In recently released transcripts, a long list of Obama administration officials admitted they never saw
any evidence of such collusion — none. That included the testimony of Evelyn Farkas, a former Obama national
security adviser who was widely quoted in her public plea for Congress to gather the evidence that she learned of as part of
the Obama administration. The media widely covered her alarm that this evidence would be lost "if they found out how we
knew what we knew about their, the staff, the Trump staff's, dealing with Russians." Yet, in her previously classified
testimony under oath, she repeatedly said "I didn't know anything." (Farkas is now running for Congress in New York and
highlighting her role in raising "the alarm" over Russian collusion.)
Wall
Street Journal: 'No one should ever believe another word' from Schiff. The Wall Street Journal editorial
board urged the media and the public to never again trust House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff because of his
repeated claims over the years that there was evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The
editorial, which was published on Tuesday [5/12/2020], reacted to the House Intelligence Committee releasing dozens of
witness interview transcripts and related material regarding its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016
election. "Schiff spread falsehoods shamelessly about Russia and Donald Trump for three years even as his own committee
gathered contrary evidence," it wrote. The editorial board also argued the California Democrat had previously held up
the release of the transcripts because they didn't align with what he was saying publicly.
Adam
Schiff lied about the Trump investigation — and the media let him. Last week, Acting Director of
National Intelligence Richard Grenell forced Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff's hand. If the chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee didn't release the transcripts of 53 interviews from the committee's Russia collusion investigations,
then he'd do it himself. The transcripts, many of them from nearly three years ago, were declassified and ready for
public viewing since June. As the grand impresario of collusion, Schiff has filled print and broadcast media since
January 2017 claiming that he has seen "more than circumstantial evidence" of a Trump-Putin conspiracy. Obviously there
was none in the transcripts, or he'd have pulled back the curtain years ago. But Schiff didn't want to hand control of
the narrative to one of Trump's most effective deputies, so on Thursday [5/7/2020] they finally went live.
Common
Sense and Self-Evident Truth in a Post-Truth World. Many Americans today go far beyond simply rejecting the
ideas of the American founders, the claims of the Declaration, and the Constitution. They reject the very idea of
truth. These Americans were taught in American universities that there is no such thing as truth, that truth is an
outmoded concept, that we now live in a post-truth reality. The belief that the concept of truth is outmoded is no
longer confined to academia. It has invaded the world outside academia and won a great victory there; the Oxford
Dictionaries selected "post-truth" as the Word of the Year for 2016. And a great victory it is. Convincing
Americans that there is no such thing as truth defeats the very foundation of the American idea.
Liberals
always lie. That leftists are somehow entirely incapable of honesty is an indisputable fact we've all seen for
ourselves when engaged in discussions with leftists. There really is no point in even talking with them because they
make up "facts", change the subject when they realize they're losing, talk over you or shout you down, demand you provide
them sources for everything and hurl slurs at you before storming off. We've all seen it. And this is just the
garden variety liberalism. With Trump Derangement Syndrome and the blank check authorities give to the more virulent
strain known as antifa, there's a real chance your discussion could end with violence. If they win, you go to the
hospital. If you successfully defend yourself you will likely end up in jail.

Devastating Revelations About Crossfire Hurricane In New Releases. [#4] Rep. Adam Schiff Is a Rotten,
No-Good, Two-Faced Liar: The latest declassifications also expose — yet again — that
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) lied about everything in his "response memo" to Rep. Devin Nunes's (R-Calif.) memo on
FISA abuse. The lawyer who tweets anonymously as Undercover Huber detailed the evidence in a must-read thread on Friday
[4/17/2020]. "DOJ cited multiple sources to support the case for surveilling Page — but made only narrow use
of information from Steele's sources about Page's specific activities in 2016, chiefly his suspected July 2016 meeting in
Moscow with Russian officials," Schiff had claimed. Not so, as "Undercover Huber" detailed. Rather, the FISA
applications stated that "[Carter] Page... has been identified by source reporting as an intermediary with Russian
leadership" in "a well-developed conspiracy of co-operation" to influence the 2016 election. And that language was
lifted directly from the Steele dossier.
A complete inversion of the truth: Biden: China Provides Jobs,
'Fuels World's Prosperity'. "Middle-Class Joe" had a rare opportunity to confront the greatest threat to
American workers — the CCP's exploitative trading practices and job poaching ad infinitum — and he
failed. Miserably. Instead, he praised the relationship as a boon to American employment numbers and extolled the
merits of a "rising China." It wasn't a gaffe. It wasn't a blunder. It was quintessential Biden.
Pelosi
claims Trump withholding the WHO funds is 'illegal' and will be 'swiftly challenged'. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi claimed Wednesday that President Donald Trump's decision to temporarily halt funding to the World Health Organization
while his administration conducted a review of the agency's handling of the coronavirus outbreak is "illegal." In addition,
the California Democrat promised the president's decision would be "challenged" immediately. "This is another case, as
I have said, of the President's ineffective response, that 'a weak person, a poor leader, takes no responsibility. A weak
person blames others.' This decision is dangerous, illegal and will be swiftly challenged," Pelosi said Wednesday [4/15/2020]
in a statement.
White
House Officials Counter Pelosi's Claim That Trump's WHO Cuts Are 'Illegal'. White House officials are refuting
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's claim that cutting funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) is "illegal."
Officials in the Office of Management and Budget explained to the Daily Caller that WHO's funding was approved by Congress as
part of a larger lump sum statutorily allocated for "international organizations." The White House has discretion over which
organizations to send that money to, with past decisions resulting in the budgeting WHO received. An official explained
that the funding allocation is broken down into two groups: assessed dues and voluntary contributions made at the agency
level. WHO's assessed dues, according to OMB, can be immediately halted because a treaty doesn't exist that legally
binds the United States to WHO.
Biden
and Democrats try to pin economic crash on Trump. The health of the economy was President Trump's best argument
for reelection just a month ago, but now, in the chaos generated by the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats see it as a weakness
to be exploited. With unemployment soaring and businesses shuttered, Democrats have a new opportunity to attack Trump
for what was once his greatest strength. Even if Trump is able to convince voters in the months ahead that he's handled
the public health response to the pandemic properly, he faces the risk that Democrats could successfully blame him for the
ensuing economic misery.
Obama Exploits Pandemic
to Push for Mail-in Voting. On Tuesday, ABC News reported that "two officials familiar with the document's
contents" told them "concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November
intelligence report by the military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI). The report was the result of analysis
of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images." On Wednesday night, the Pentagon issued a rare public
statement in which they torpedoed the claim. Following Wisconsin's primary this week, Democratic commentator James
Carville told MSNBC that Republicans "will kill people to stay in power. Literally."
FDR
at Yalta, and why Joe Biden's mental acuity matters. On August 18, 1944, Senator Harry S. Truman met President
Franklin D. Roosevelt for lunch at the White House. Truman had just been nominated to be Roosevelt's running mate that
year, and the two men dined on the White House lawn and chatted about the upcoming campaign. Truman had not seen the
president for over a year and was shocked at Roosevelt's haggard appearance. He noticed that FDR was so ill that he
couldn't even pour cream into his coffee. Despite seeing direct evidence of Roosevelt's poor health, Truman told
reporters afterwards that Roosevelt "Looked fine... He's as keen as a briar." Truman was lying. Roosevelt was a
dying man, which was evident to everyone who saw him. But during the 1944 campaign, a conspiracy of silence reigned
about his health. Roosevelt had a physical in the summer that showed he had high blood pressure and was suffering from
congestive heart failure, but the results were kept from the public. With the assistance of a compliant media that was
overwhelmingly sympathetic to FDR, the issue of Roosevelt's ability to serve four more years never materialized as a serious
campaign issue.
10
Ways the Left Has Politicized the Coronavirus Pandemic. [#8] Rampant lying about Trump's response: A
pandemic is no time for politics. We didn't see Republicans politicize the H1N1 outbreak, but sadly, Democrats have
different priorities than the greater good. Democrats are in the middle of a coordinated effort to blame the pandemic
on Trump, even though it was congressional Democrats who were distracted by their own efforts to impeach him while the Trump
administration was actually doing something about the outbreak. [...] Mike Bloomberg bought three minutes of airtime to
address the public and blame Trump for the outbreak. Both Bloomberg and Joe Biden claimed that the Trump administration
cut all budget increases to the CDC and NIH made by the Obama administration, an allegation the Associated Press determined
to be false. What good can come from falsely accusing Trump of hampering our country's coronavirus
readiness? None, unless you're trying to oust Trump.
WashPost
Busts Joe Biden Ad: Four Pinocchios for 'Video Manipulation' of Trump's Coronavirus Comments. The
Washington Post's fact-checker column slapped former Vice President Joe Biden's White House campaign with four Pinocchios for
its misleading attack ad about President Trump's comments about the coronavirus, writing it presents "a false narrative that
does not reflect the event as it occurred." The Biden ad accuses President Trump of dismissing the deadly illness as a
"hoax" during a recent campaign rally in North Charleston, South Carolina. However, Washington Post fact-checker Meg
Kelly explained the video clip is a "blatant" misrepresentation of the president's remark.
Time to scrap the Goldwater Rule.
There are few ironclad rules in American politics. But here is one: if you are a Republican, no tactic is too
disreputable to be deployed against you. I think for example, of the disgusting campaign waged to keep Judge Robert
Bork from the Supreme Court in the 1980s. 'Lion of the Senate' Ted Kennedy led that charge ('in Robert Bork's America...'),
though he was aided by a young senator named Joe Biden. Journalists went through Bork's trash and reviewed the movies
he rented for incriminating evidence. Other campaigns of vilification against Republican Supreme Court nominees include
the one conducted against Clarence Thomas and, most recently, the extraordinary full-court press against Brett
Kavanaugh. But the calumny is directed not just against judicial nominees. Every Republican candidate since
Ronald Reagan has been compared to Hitler ('literally Hitler') by the left. Even the Grecian Formula candidate, Mitt
Romney, was made an honorary Nazi during his campaign for president in 2012. (Joe Biden got in on the action then by
warning blacks that he would put 'y'all back in chains'.
The Left's Pretend Virtue.
Democrats excel in hypocrisy. It seems like half the time they speak they're making some bold, confident statements about events and then the
other half they come out and say the opposite, equally boldly and confidently, about similar events. Here are just a handful of recent examples:
• They silenced the women Bill Clinton sexually assaulted but then embraced the #MeToo movement and declared that all victims must be heard;
• They acquitted Bill Clinton of impeachment over perjury but voted to impeach President Trump for the high crime of faithfully executing his office;
• They accused Attorney General William Barr of being Trump's wingman but accepted Eric Holder's self-designation as President Obama's wingman;
• They mock non-Ivy-League Republicans (Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump) for being stupid but protect the apparently demented Joe Biden;
• They characterize strong language from conservatives as unacceptable, violent behavior but then characterize Antifa's actual violence as peaceful protests;
• They criticize President Trump's fast response to the coronavirus as racist but then go into a full panic and say he didn't act quickly enough;
• Chuck Schumer called out President Trump for criticizing the bias of certain Supreme Court justices in their prior opinions but then threatened,
with physical violence no less, two other justices if they voted a certain way on a future case.
[...] Democrats are never embarrassed when this kind of thing is exposed, and their voters don't seem bothered by it, either.
Why
Do the 2020 Democrats Lie About Everything? They lie about the simple, verifiable differences in what sex a
person is based on what someone "thinks" as opposed to what their anatomy tells them they are. They lie about the
capability to feel pain and survival chances of a pre-born, or even a newly born child. They lie about the good of our
closest ally Israel. They lie about the danger of our enemies — Iran, ISIS, the Taliban. They lie
about the number of gun deaths we are dealing with. They lie about the economy. They are trying to lie about the
number of people who don't have jobs.
Progressive
Big Lies. These days, the masters of the "big lie" are the Leftists and those progressives who, addled by
Trumpophobia, regularly promulgate whoppers that today's internet can easily discredit. Of course, from the Russian
collusion fabrication to the Ukraine "quid pro quo," the Dems have publicized numerous lies and distortions of facts.
Now they're at it again with hysterical attacks on Trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak. During the last
debate, Mike Bloomberg charge that Trump "defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don't have the organization we
need," a lie seconded by Joe Biden who added, "He cut the funding for the entire effort." As the New York Post, commented,
"It's a lie that can only sow fear: The CDC budget is higher than when Trump took office. Same for the National
Institutes of Health. And top career officials from both have been working with the White House for weeks to direct the
US response."
It's
Time for Conservatives to Own the Climate-Change Issue. There is an interesting political tactic often employed
by the Left, and it follows a predictable pattern. First, identify a problem most of us can agree on. Second,
elevate the problem to a crisis. Third, propose an extreme solution to said crisis that inevitably results in a massive
transfer of power to government authorities. Fourth, watch as conservatives take the bait and vociferously reject the
extreme solutions proposed. Fifth and finally, accuse those same conservatives of being too heartless or too stupid to
solve the original problem on which we all thought we agreed. This is the pattern we have seen play out with respect to
climate change.
Democrats
escalate the lies they're throwing at Trump about coronavirus. With the rise of coronavirus, the Democrats are
so desperate to destroy Trump that they're lying about everything possible, celebrating damage to the American economy, and
working hard to drive ordinary Americans into a blind panic. This is an unusually sordid display of partisanship over
country, although none of them have the grace to be ashamed. A look at Obama's presidency reveals that the Democrats'
standards were quite different back then.
(Re-)launching Russiagate
2020. On the heels of their impeachment debacle, somehow it seemed a propitious time for the Left to launch its
sequel — Russiagate 2020: This Time We Get Him — No, Really! [...] Defending oneself against the
Left's Russiagate lie is not proof of the lie. Rather, it is proof that people such as Chris Murphy are lying with
impunity, thanks to the complicit collusion media.
What's
Really Behind the Left's 'Cancel Culture'. [Scroll down] Here's an example showing how this works.
Congressman Adam Schiff (D-La La Land) told the country for about two years that he had seen evidence that President Donald
Trump had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election from Hillary Clinton. Then the Mueller Report
came out and said there was no evidence of collusion. When Congressman Schiff later accused the president of
withholding aid to Ukraine unless they helped him steal the 2020 election from Joe Biden, and did so by fictionalizing the
transcript of the telephone call where this quid pro quo was floated, reasonableness would tell us not to believe a word he
said. Sure, he could be telling the truth this time, but he had already forfeited his reliability, so his testimony
should be rejected. Why, then, did so many people believe the Ukraine story? Because they agreed with the content
of his accusations and those accusations made them feel good.
Bloomberg
takes credit for leading NYC through 9/11 — when Giuliani was mayor. Presidential hopeful Mike
Bloomberg takes credit for leading New York "through" the 9/11 attacks in a campaign ad. But there's one problem:
He didn't become mayor until four months later. Touting his leadership chops, the billionaire released a 30-second
video including the claim. "I led a complex, diverse city through 9/11 and I have common-sense plans to move America
away from the chaos to progress," Bloomberg, 78, is seen saying at a campaign rally. But Rudy Giuliani was mayor during
the attacks, and he didn't hand Bloomberg the keys to Gracie Mansion until Jan. 1, 2002.
The
Democrats and the virus: Truth is hard, propaganda is cheap!. The Democrats have truly lost their
minds. For years they have wailed about how our borders should all be open, there should be no walls. When
President Trump six weeks ago banned travelers from China, they called him a racist, of course. Now that the virus has
spread, they are blaming him, accusing him of an anemic response. Wrong. The country has a pandemic plan in
place, no matter who is president, but Trump has been on the case since China informed the world of the virus breakout.
A task force to address this virus has been in place for at least a month. They've accused Trump of cutting the budget
of the CDC and NIH. Even AP shows that he did not.
Highlights of the
News. ITEM 10: Politico reported, "A federal judge swung back at Donald Trump on Tuesday [2/25/2020] over his heated
criticism of the Roger Stone case, warning that the president's commentary about his longtime associate's conviction had helped fuel
threats to the jury. "[Obama] Judge Amy Berman Jackson cited Trump's public comments and Twitter posts, as well as an accompanying
campaign from the president's conservative media allies to identify and critique the jury, as one of the reasons for her decision to
clamp down on public access to a hearing on Stone's request for a new trial." Liar. The Obama judge is lying.
With the exception of the Democrat congressional candidate who outed herself as the jury forewoman, no one knows who they are.
They always say death threats when caught doing something crooked. Witness Adam Schiff saying the whistle blower's life was
threatened, even as Schiff claimed to not know who the whistle blower is. A formal complaint about the judge's partisan hackery
could lead to her removal from an office she does not deserve.
The
Rise of Democratic Idiocracy. In this new Democratic world, the absurd is now the accepted norm, totally
illogical thought becomes completely rational, scientific fact is discarded for the purpose of political expediency and
historical fact is a tiresome inconvenience that can be ignored as needed.
The
Facts About Trump That Are Deadly For Democrats. [Scroll down] The Democrats' political future depends on
keeping voters as far away from facts as possible. When not waging personal attacks, the Democrats have tried to
convince voters that the economy is shambles, and that as the rich grow richer, the suffering of the poor increases.
But just as the facts reveal Trump to be much less than a demon, the data show them to be liars. Earnings of the bottom
10 percent have grown 4.9% under Trump while they rose a mere 1.9% during the Obama presidency. Under this "racist" president,
black Americans have thrived, their earnings up 3.8%, a stark contrast to the 1.8% growth under President Barack Obama.
Mayor Pete Busted Editing "Artificial
Crowd Cheering and Applause" Into His Videos. Mayor Pete isn't called "Mayor Cheat" for nothing. Turns
out that failed mayor is trying to artificially boost himself up with phony cheering and applause lines edited into his
soundbite clips. The discovery was made by the Twitter account "CPD Action," a group that supports Bernie Sanders for
President. CPD posted side-by-side clips of a CNN town hall event featuring Mayor Pete.
AOC:
Democratic Party is 'Not a Left Party,' It's a 'Center-Conservative' Party. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY) claimed the Democratic Party is a "center or center-conservative party," and "not a left party," during a discussion
at MLK Now 2020, Monday, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. "I wanted to go back to what you said about
our 'left party'.&Nbsp; We don't have a left party in the United States," declared Ocasio-Cortez. "The Democratic Party
is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center or center-conservative party.
The Editor says...
The Democratic Party is in a race to the political left.
The remaining crop of Democrat presidential candidates are actively competing to see who can be the most extreme.
The Abortion Party is as extreme as it can be in its relentless promotion of infanticide.
The Democrats have created a welfare system that punishes fatherhood and encourages perpetual dependence on Big Government.
The Democrats are soft on crime, cozy with the theocratic Muslims, and proud of opening doors for transvestites.
The Democrats have made it abundantly clear that they don't want you to have firearms.
(No communist dictator anywhere in the world would want you to have firearms.)
If you are forced to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage, it's because of the Democrats.
If you go into a public restroom and find a transvestite in there, it's because of the Democrats.
If you go to a restaurant and they won't give you a plastic straw, it's because of the Democrats.
If you drive downtown and see homeless bums defecating in the streets, it's because of the Democrats.
If you have kids in high school who can't add two numbers without a calculator, it's because of the Democrats.
If one of your school kids comes home and tries to tell you there are 63 genders, it's because of the Democrats.
If you go to a movie theater and you are bombarded with nudity, blasphemy, and profanity, it's because of the Democrats.
If some teenager gets snooty with you because you didn't use his or her "preferred pronouns," it's because of the Democrats.
If you go to the polls and leave there unsure if you vote will be counted, it's because of the Democrats.
If you're afraid to tell a stranger that you voted for President Trump, it's because of the Democrats.
If you hear the TV news people screaming about a "climate emergency," when you know there's nothing abnormal about the weather, it's because of the Democrats.
The Democratic Party platform is replete with socialism, thanks to people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and if
Bernie Sanders is the party's presidential nominee, there will be large chunks of outright communism mixed in as well.
There is nothing conservative about the Socialist Democratic Party.
Fact-checking
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Claim: "Rush Limbaugh is a virulent
racist..." Fact-checker rating: Pants-on-fire. One has to look no farther than the control booth of the
extraordinarily successful Rush Limbaugh radio show to learn that the infamous producer and call screener "Bo Snerdley" is in
reality a black man named James Golden. [...] Rush Limbaugh is neither a racist nor misogynist. He is hated and reviled
by liberals such as Ocasio-Cortez because he is an unapologetic conservative voice so desperately needed at this moment in
American history. Any listener of his show can attest to the fact that Rush has frequently praised Justice Clarence
Thomas on the Supreme Court, and if memory serves correctly, Justice Thomas is black. While Limbaugh is unafraid to
criticize, mock, and parody race-baiting hustlers like Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Louis Farrakhan, or Al Sharpton, he
often speaks of economist Thomas Sowell in almost reverential tones, and professor Walter Williams has also served on
multiple occasions as a guest host on Limbaugh's radio show. I wouldn't even know the name of Dr. Williams if it
hadn't been for Rush Limbaugh.
Fake
Iowa Victory Speeches Vs. Fact-Filled SOTU. Which should Americans fear more, foreign interference in our
elections, or candidates giving televised victory speeches before any of the vote results are announced — with the
undisguised purpose of fooling TV viewers into thinking they won? That's what Americans were inflicted with Monday
night as the Democratic presidential candidates refused to let the party's inability to figure out the result of the Iowa
caucuses interfere with their faux declarations of victory.
Jason
Chaffetz: Why Does Adam Schiff Have A Security Clearance When 'He Continues To Lie'. Former Republican
Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz asked Tuesday why Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff should possess a security
clearance when "he continues to lie." Chaffetz, a Fox News contributor and analyst, told "Fox & Friends" that Schiff
failed to sell his impeachment case during President Donald Trump's Senate trial. "They didn't convince anybody," he
said, before moving on to comment on some of impeachment manager Schiff's statements during the trial.
Mike
Bloomberg Ad Uses Obama-Era Footage Of Caged Migrants To Criticize Trump. Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of
New York City and contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, released an anti-Trump campaign advertisement that
included footage of caged migrants in 2014 — during the Obama era. The Bloomberg campaign released an ad
that was meant to highlight unflattering events that have occurred during the Trump administration, such as the white
nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, the aftermath of a Florida school shooting, the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and
immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. "America demanded change and change is what we got," a narrator said
in the ad, which then led to a montage of footage, supposedly all taken during the Trump presidency.
Yes,
Trump's Acquittal Is Real, And It's Spectacular. The most amazing thing about Democrats and their allies in the
media is that they never actually lose. Any time it seems like they lose, it's actually the result of cheating and
chicanery. Hillary Clinton didn't lose 2016, the Russians interfered and the Electoral College is racist. Stacy
Abrams didn't lose in Georgia, the election was stolen. And sure enough, the calls have already come out to say that
House Democrats aren't really going to lose the impeachment trial, because without additional witnesses the trial isn't
legitimate and the acquittal isn't real. Not this time. Mitch McConnell, President Trump's legal team, and the
GOP made fools of the Democrats and drank their milkshake. But this will not stop the aggrieved cackling heads from
claiming this is all somehow fake.
Devastating
30-Year-Old Video Shows Biden Being Caught Repeatedly Lying for 5 Minutes Straight. Former Vice President Joe
Biden is facing many issues in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, including the dealings of his son
Hunter Biden in Ukraine. And now he is looking at another scandal. It is an old scandal, one that knocked him out
of the 1988 presidential race, but it has reared its head again and it appears to show he is a stone-cold liar. A video
from 1987 shared by progressive activist and rabble-rouser Shaun King shows the then-senator during his first presidential
campaign plagiarizing other liberal thought leaders.
Adam
Schiff and John Profumo: A Tale of Two Liars. In the course of my tuning in to the feed from the
impeachment hearings, I caught House manager Congressman Adam Schiff telling a huge whopper: that he doesn't know who the
"whistleblower" is. That is the individual whose machinations and contacts with Schiff's Intelligence Committee touched
off the entire impeachment business. Schiff is asserting that he still, to this day, does not know who this individual
is. This is a lie. There is no way that Schiff cannot have known exactly who the "whistleblower" is, and have
known it for nearly three years now. In Schiff's case, it is only the latest in a career of lies, which is well documented.
[...] This time, Schiff raised his lies to a whole new level, by repeating his lie inside the halls of Congress. And he
did it not once, but three times: once in his own Intelligence Committee and at least twice to the Senate
during the question-and-answer phase.
Schiff
Goes Full Snowflake, Claims Trump Tweet 'Intended to be' A Threat. [Scroll down] Schiff has been put
under the microscope for his handling of this impeachment. I recently documented the top seven lies Schiff has told to
boost impeachment — none of which he has been held accountable for. There were calls for him to be censured
after presenting his "satirical" version of the Ukraine call transcript, but Democrats in the House rejected it. So
Trump is absolutely right that Schiff has paid no price for his lies.
The Democrats'
Disgraceful Hail Mary. I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of Rep. Adam Schiff and the
Democratic horde's portraying every charge against President Donald Trump as Trump's effort to interfere with this or that
election. In his opening statement at the Senate impeachment trial, Lead House Impeachment Manager Schiff, puffed up
with false indignation, did it again. President Trump made an "attempt to use the powers of the presidency to cheat in
an election," said Schiff, and he must be impeached. He's claiming that the 2020 election, which won't happen until
November, will be illegitimate because of Trump's dastardly telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"The president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,"
he said. Come on! How dim does he think the viewing public is?
Adam
Schiff's history of inaccuracies, conspiracy theories follows him to Senate floor. On Jan. 10, 2017, BuzzFeed
posted the Christopher Steele dossier, which made a dozen felony charges against Mr. Trump and his allies. A month
later, The New York Times reported that the intelligence community owned a year's worth of phone records and intercepts
between the Trump campaign and Kremlin intelligence. The dossier allegations and Times story were both false. The
next month, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence convened the first major hearing into Russia's interference
in the 2016 election by computer hacking and social media warfare. A key question was whether the Trump campaign was a
witting ally. It was in that media glare that Mr. Schiff began making a series of conspiracy claims as he sat on a
committee that is supposed to deal in facts.

Zeldin Challenges Media and Debunks Schiff's Claim that Ukraine 2016 Interference is "Conspiracy Theory". Lee
Zeldin, Mike Johnson, Mark Meadows and Elise Stefanik appear for a quick presser during the impeachment hearings.
Zeldin notes that Adam Schiff has claimed Ukraine interference in the 2016 U.S. election is "conspiracy theory"; then
Zeldin cites specific examples of Ukraine activity the media are well aware of. After calling out the media examples,
Mr. Zeldin challenges them to debunk him. [T]he media are silent. [Video clip]
The
Top Seven Lies Adam Schiff Has Told to Boost Impeachment. Adam Schiff is a liar. Like most Democrats, he
cares more about ousting Trump than the facts — so much, in fact, he's repeatedly turned a blind eye to the facts
to smear Trump in the hopes of swaying public opinion against the man who dared to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016
election. It's already been proven that Democrats have plotted the impeachment of Donald Trump since he first took
office. For over three years they threw anything they could at him, and Schiff was doing his part to advance the
narrative that Trump should be impeached by pushing bogus information and outright lying to the public. Below are seven
examples of Schiff's lies designed to boost the impeachment of President Trump.
He
Can't Stop Lying! Liberal Media Catches Adam Schiff in a New Lie on Lev Parnas Evidence. In a letter last
week Schiff listed communications between Lev Parnas and President Zelensky of Ukraine. But Politico discovered the
communication was actually between Lev Parnas and Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma. If Democrats had a case
they wouldn't have to lie so much.
Fact
Check: Adam Schiff Lied to the Senate About Trump's Past Concern with Ukraine Corruption. CLAIM: If
President Donald Trump really cared about corruption in Ukraine, he would have raised it before. But he never did.
VERDICT: False. Trump raised it specifically — even lecturing the former Ukrainian president about it
in 2017. Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed on Tuesday in President Donald Trump's
Senate impeachment trial that Trump did not care about corruption in Ukraine except when it allegedly involved his potential
rival in the 2020 presidential election, former Vice President Joe Biden.
The Many Lies Of Adam Schiff.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the House's lead impeachment manager, has repeatedly lied to the American public[.] •
On January 15, 2020, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi named Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) the lead impeachment manager
for the impeachment trial in the Senate. • Schiff pushed the fake Steele Dossier as credible and
corroborated. • Schiff repeatedly said there was clear evidence of collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia. • On February 5, 2018, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a memo pushing back
against any allegations of FISA abuse by the FBI. • Schiff repeatedly denied he had prior contact with
the whistleblower at the heart of the impeachment inquiry[.] • In front of Congress, Rep. Adam
Schiff made up his own version of a phone call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine rather than read the
transcript. [Followed by numerous other examples.]
The
Left's Great Lie Is a Pervasive Threat to Our Culture. That the vast majority of politicians lie, almost as a
matter of principle, is common knowledge. But I had not grasped until relatively late that the Lie — in
majuscule — had become so pervasive that it could be said to constitute a public if unofficial institution.
Orwell said that truth had ceased to exist in 1936, an exaggeration made for emphasis, but there is little doubt that it has
practically ceased to exist in the political and cultural world we now inhabit. It
Hey,
GOP! This is What Pushback Looks Like. Republican voters have lamented for years over the lack of pushback from
their elected leaders. Democrats and the media hurl baseless and libelous accusations at Republicans, only to be met
with a weak defense at best, or silence at worst. Republicans want to push granny off a cliff, make senior citizens eat
dog food, starve children and put them in cages. Republicans are racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, Islamophobic,
mean-spirited, and ignorant. Watch any cable news show and get a healthy dose of this garbage. If you don't
like the news, watch late night "comedy," entertainment award shows, or virtually any television series to hear much the
same. It's one-way propaganda with no pushback.
Democrats
and Radical Islamists Start False Rumor Trump Is Detaining Iranian-Americans. CAIR, the Islamic good with
dubious ties to bad people, started a rumor in Washington, DC that Customs and Border Patrol agents were detaining
Iranian-Americans at the border. Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee then tweeted out "People of Iranian
descent — including American citizens & green card holders — are reportedly being detained by CPB
officials. We can't let this stand." Naturally, thousands of people recirculated the accusation forcing Customs
and Border Patrol to step in with its own tweet to deny it. But by then, it had taken on a life of its own. And
it remains false.
The
left is gaslighting the country about anti-Semitism in New York. The left is once again trying to connect
political violence to the right without any evidence. [...] While Grafton Thomas's connection to the Black Hebrew Israelites
is still uncertain, authorities have connected one of the shooters in the attack on a Jewish market in Jersey City to the
group. Not only is this not a white supremacist group it's the opposite: [...] This is certainly racist and hateful but
it isn't coming from Washington. In fact, it's a problem that, as Bari Weiss pointed out earlier this month, isn't
limited to New York. The rise in anti-Semitism is happening in France and the UK as well. But even after the
Jersey City attack, the NY Times editorial board is still trying to focus attention on right-wing anti-Semitism while
downplaying the growing problem of left-wing anti-Semitism. This is a form of gaslighting. The left needs to
admit that this problem can't simply be blamed on the president or Republicans.
Senator Schumer's
Vicious Lie. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said during his rebuttal to Majority Leader McConnell
yesterday, that the President thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants and sees himself as a king. He accused
the President of tyranny, and of declaring that he has absolute immunity, a reference to a comment the President once made
about Article II of the Constitution. Schumer said he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors and if not stopped,
he will do it again and again. Everything he said is a lie. President Trump has never said Congress has no right to
oversight. What he has said is he wants the Judicial Branch to mediate over those documents and witnesses they are
demanding which the President's counsel believes violate Executive Privilege.
Pelosi
lies about claim that '200,000 Wisconsin voters' won't get to cast ballots in 2020. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) lied her way through the impeachment of President Donald Trump, and now she's lying about an effort in Wisconsin
to clean up voter registration rolls ahead of next year's elections. On Thursday [12/19/2019], Pelosi sent out a tweet
claiming that 200,000 people from the Badger State wouldn't be able to cast a ballot in the 2020 elections due to a "voter
purge" by those mean Republicans in the state.
Countering
the Left's Dishonest Narratives. Any level-headed American who has an interest in U.S. politics knows that
President Trump did nothing to interfere with the 2016 election. Likewise, it would be a huge misstep to attempt to
interfere with the election process in 2020. Because of the microscope he's under, the president's political steps
throughout 2020 will be carefully calculated. Still, the preposterous notion that Trump manipulated the 2016 election
and will do it again in 2020 will be the highly dishonest narrative the left and their brethren in the mainstream media echo
relentlessly. Their objective is clear: as election day nears, ensure that doubt is so deeply permeated in swing
voter's minds that their inclination will be to vote against Trump. That doubt, they believe, must be based on
suspicions the president is using corrupt methods in order to win, just as he has before. Never mind the absence of
specifics as to how the president would accomplish this. Casting doubt is essential to their strategy. Leftists,
after all, are masters at creating and delivering one-sided narratives.
Rush
Limbaugh Says 'IG Report has Totally Exposed Nadler as a Full-Fledged, 100 Percent Liar'. Conservative radio
host Rush Limbaugh just slammed Democrat Congressman Jerry Nadler for not showing up at the House Rules Committee hearing
Tuesday, adding that the inspector general report has now "exposed" Nadler as a liar. "The IG report has totally
exposed Nadler as a full-fledged, 100% liar," Limbaugh said on his program Tuesday [12/17/2019]. [...] Limbaugh said the
Democrats on the Rules Committee are "continuing to lie through their teeth about the supposed misconduct of Donald Trump."
Shouldn't
the media report how bad previous climate change predictions have been instead of participating in the indoctrination?
It is truly a shame that the media is willing to repeat talking points to push a radical, leftist agenda instead of doing their job of
investigating and asking questions and telling the public the truth. Why should we believe that if we give bureaucrats and politicians
trillions of dollars and more control of our lives that the[y] can control temperatures, sea levels and storm activity forever when these
are the same people that peddled the lies about Russian collusion and Obamacare for years?
Nunes
to Schiff: 'It Is Clear You Are in Need of Rehabilitiation'. House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) wrote to the committee's chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), on Sunday [12/15/2019],
suggesting that after a series of lies, "it is clear you are in need of rehabilitation." Nunes took Schiff on over his
defense last February of the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) and its efforts to mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act (FISA) court in applications for surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. After
then-Chairman Nunes released a four-page memo detailing his concerns about FBI abuses, then-Ranking Member Schiff released
a response that defended the FBI's conduct.
We Now
Know: Full of Schiff. Quotable quote: "I understand taking action on this issue will be difficult
for you, as it will be an implicit acknowledgment that you were wrong to deny these abuses and that you were complicit in the
violation of an American's civil liberties. I also understand that such an acknowledgment is made even more difficult
by the fact that you've already been discredited by your years-long false claim that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia
to hack the 2016 presidential election."
Our
Outrage Over the Dems' Impeachment Farce. The most infuriating thing about Democrats and fake news medias' fake
outrage over Trump's alleged crimes is everyone knows Trump has done nothing wrong. He has functioned totally within
his presidential authority. Democrats and media are attempting to criminalize Trump defending himself while exposing
their corruption. The only thing Trump is guilty of is keeping his promise to do everything within his power to make
America great again. Folks, it feels like we are in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" in which Democrats' and medias'
reality is the polar opposite of the truth. With straight faces, they authoritatively lie about every issue. Our
economy is booming. And yet, Democrats and media say people are suffering horribly in Trump's economy. Blacks are
enjoying a historic low unemployment rate. Dems and media tell blacks Trump is a white supremacist seeking to harm them.
AOC's
'Free Stuff' As 'Public Goods' Is An Old Socialist Game. The political left has long tried to hide its true
intentions and character through the use of euphemisms. [...] This is politics as usual for the left. Socialists want
to be called "progressives" because they know socialism carries baggage (though it's become a less-toxic term than it once
was because the left has taken over the academy, and conditioned a generation to believe it's a more just system of
government). The forced redistribution of wealth and tax hikes fall under the category of "shared sacrifice." Tax
cuts are "giveaways to the rich." Spending taxpayers' money on the left's favorite programs is an "investment."
Nixon's
Lessons for the Would-Be Impeachers. One of the nauseating permutations of public recollection that has arisen
out of the attempts to destroy Trump is that Richard Nixon was treated fairly.This fraud is buttressed by the frequent
appearances on our screens of the chief trigger-men in that bloodless assassination: the unspeakable turncoat White House
lawyer John Dean and Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, still padding around on the imperishable fuel of the Watergate putsch,
festooned with the awards the media give themselves.
Impeachment
hearings! Is that all they've got? Something is manifestly wrong with Adam Schiff. [...] He does not,
apparently cannot, differentiate between the truth and lies. [...] For all who had not previously realized this about Schiff,
Wednesday's [11/13/2019] hearing was a wake-up call. The man is demented. He outright lied when he said he did
not know who the not-whistleblower is! Everyone knows who the not-whistleblower is.
Democrats
Are Failing the Reality Test. The Democrats running for president in 2020 don't talk about normal
issues — jobs and national security. They have nothing to say about opportunities for minorities.
Instead, it is all fake investigations of fake scandals. Democrats are running fake impeachment proceedings on a fake
accusation of quid pro quo from a fake whistleblower, who is one more deep state operative leaking hearsay that libels the
president. Who are they kidding? Oddly enough, themselves — very successfully. Fake is fine
with their voters. "Fauxcahontas" is a leading candidate. Fake news is all the news they'll read.
Something has gone terribly wrong with previously normal Democratic Party voters. They have abandoned common
sense and reality testing. They even claim to believe human beings are not divided into male and female.
Kamala
Harris Campaign Collapses Under Perception of Law and Order. The Black Lives Matter movement that burst on to
the scene in 2013 and 2014 poisoned the Democratic Party. Harris is a delayed casualty. Any hint of belief in law
and order is now the kiss of death in the party. The Left relentlessly attacks all law enforcers, from policemen to
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. These brave guardians are viewed with suspicion at best and hatred and
revulsion at worst. In a party where up is down, the criminals are celebrated as heroes while courageous defenders are
cast as villains. It is the same trend that has led Democrats to decriminalize many drug and theft crimes in their
jurisdictions down to misdemeanors. The result, to no surprise, is that these types of acts are becoming as common as
jaywalking. Lawlessness is now viewed as a civic virtue. In some areas of California, you can walk into a Target
and help yourself to your favorite DVD or a pair of designer jeans with no threat of being apprehended.
Elizabeth
Warren's cruelty. Warren's method is to tell voters that someone else will bear the costs. She
denies the obvious truth that our problems are inherently tough to solve and instead declares that they persist only because
other politicians are bought and paid for. The real problem with Warren's tale isn't that this is class warfare,
although it certainly is that. The real problem is, rather, that it is a lie. Warren has championed "Medicare for
all" as a way to cater to her party's left-wing base, but she's also trying to sell it to ordinary people. She offers
freedom from the injustice of insurance companies and the fear of being uninsured. She tells us we'll never have to
worry about another medical bill again.
I Am the Anonymous Whistleblower.
We are encircled by hypocrisy and mendacity. The despicable deceit, the false posturing, the public lying for personal
gain. Is Nancy Pelosi really motivated by a desire to protect our nation — or by a never-satiated
need for holding on to personal power at whatever cost may be imposed on all of us? Is Congress's primary role
really to conduct non-stop all-consuming investigations of our duly elected government leaders, paralyzing their agencies and
executive operations while abandoning all legislative responsibilities to the Obama Judges who predominate in the states of
the Ninth Circuit?
Our Elites
Don't See What's Coming. What a world we live in. A confidential asset of a hyper-political CIA director,
likely handpicked by the director to spy on the Trump White House, is now called a "whistleblower." The son of a former
vice-president and a current Democrat nominee was apparently eyeball-deep in corruption in Ukraine, and the Left screams that
the president — for daring to broach the issue with Ukraine — should be impeached. Political
pygmies, otherwise known as the Democrat 2020 field, prance about the country offering up program ideas tallying up to over
$200 trillion in the first ten years of operation (against the roughly $44 trillion the government would bring in over the
same time). Such programs would cost us millions of jobs, among other bad consequences. Yet we are expected to
believe these are serious people.
The Difference Between
Schiff and Shinola. Before Russiagate collapsed, [Adam] Schiff claimed to have seen "ample evidence of
collusion in plain sight." That assertion turned out to be a cynical lie, of course. Then, when an anonymous
bureaucrat filed a complaint concerning President Trump's conduct during a July call with Ukrainian President Zelensky,
Schiff emphatically stated that neither he nor his committee had prior contact with the "whistleblower." This
misrepresentation was too much even for the Washington Post, which awarded him four "Pinocchios." Worst of all,
he fabricated part of the Trump-Zelensky transcript as he opened a hearing to investigate the matter. It's hardly a
surprise, then, that Schiff's impeachment inquiry has not exactly been a model of transparency. Closed-door hearings,
selective release of transcripts, and leaks of deceptively edited testimony have exacerbated public uncertainty about
Schiff's honesty.
Democrats,
Tyranny, and Sophistry. How do we explain this shameless behavior of the Dems? A lot of smart people are
characterizing the Democrats' behavior as "projection" which according to Psychology Today, "is most commonly used to
describe defensive projection — attributing one's own unacceptable urges to another. The concept emerged
from Sigmund Freud's work in the 1890s." In other words, a subconscious defense mechanism for people who can't consciously
acknowledge their own bad behavior. But there's nothing subconscious about what the progressives are doing, and
telescopic psychologizing is notoriously unreliable, not to mention it lets offenders off the hook for what they say.
If speech is conscious, it's not projection, it's lying. The more likely explanation is that Dems are following the
ancient roadmap for reducing a democracy to tyranny: using sophistical rhetoric to gull the masses into giving an elite
power outside the normal political protocols.
The
plot to impeach Trump already is falling apart. [Scroll down] All of the above brings to mind the
obsessive Adam Schiff, the lunatic in my opinion who for three years claimed to have evidence that proved Trump had colluded
with the Russians to win the election. That was a big lie. He's been lying ever since. And now, three years
later, even after Trump released the transcript of his phone conversation with the President of Ukraine, Schiff read into the
record an entirely fabricated version of said conversation. Who does that? Schiff clearly had written his fake
version earlier, never expecting Trump to release the transcript but was so impressed with his own scriptwriting, he could
not let go of his opportunity to perform his lie to all those assembled in that room and to the American people. It was
a pathetic spectacle. Did Schiff learn anything from this embarrassing presentation? Not a thing.
Is
Elizabeth Warren Set to Fall? For months, Warren has simply lied about whether she would raise middle-class
taxes to pay for her Bernie Sanders-lite proposal to replace America's health care insurance system with "Medicare for All."
To support that lie, on Friday, she released another one of her now-famous plans. It is a compendium of tissue-thin
falsehoods, a plan about as plausible as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal. According to Warren's
plan, she'll somehow manage to institute a wildly generous Medicare For All policy — including coverage for
illegal immigrants — at a one-third discount off virtually all major estimates. She'll radically reduce
reimbursement rates for doctors and hospitals — and yet, care levels won't suffer. She'll cram down
drugmakers' prescription drug prices — but innovation won't suffer. She'll jack up taxes on the
wealthy — but the wealthy won't engage in tax avoidance. The plan is a joke. It's a lie.
But that's Warren's tendency: dishonest radicalism.
Adam
Schiff's drive to impeach Trump based on opinions, deception and illusions — Not facts. Rep. Adam
Schiff is a poor man's Harry Houdini. He is a cheap illusionist performing amateurish parlor tricks of deception in his
quest to convince his audience that he possesses damning evidence of an impeachable offense committed by President Trump.
Schiff, D-Calif., has no such evidence, of course. But like most illusionists, Schiff employs misdirection and confusion.
He attempts to convince you that opinions are evidence, while facts are not. This is the stuff of rank
political magic where perceptions are distorted through clever manipulation of the process.
Lies catch
up with Democrats. For years, Democrats brushed aside concerns that by giving them an inch they would seek a
mile. But Obamacare did lead to a demand for Government Health Care For All. Gay civil unions did lead to gay
marriage and now transgendering (castrating) boys. Beto O'Rourke wants to use gay marriage to regulate religions via
the tax code. His call for gun confiscation drew calls to shut up and not give the store away. Democrats lie
about their goals.
Kevin
McCarthy on Dems ditching Nadler: 'They gave it to Schiff because he's more willing to lie'. On Friday
[10/25/2019], GOP House leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy provided his unvarnished opinion about what Democrats are up to in
their impeachment efforts, blasting Reps. Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff in the process, but especially battering
Schiff. "They took it away from Nadler because they think Nadler's inept," McCarthy told attendees at the Washington
Examiner Political Summit. "They gave it to Schiff because he's more willing to lie, and they put it in Intel so he can
hide what's going on."
Why
It's Not Surprising Voters Don't Think Trump's Rhetoric Is Disqualifying. Our overlords are simultaneously
overly invested in self-preservation, impervious to information that contradicts their worldview, and have a great deal of
misplaced moral superiority about their failure to alternately persuade or listen to large numbers of voters.
Supporting Voter ID does not make you racist. Being against abortion does not make you sexist. Wanting border
security does not make you xenophobic. And thinking that baking cakes at the point of a gun is a bad idea does not make
you homophobic.
Liberals
just don't think like us. If you are mystified by things liberals say and do, then you are in good company.
[...] For example, liberal politicians can lie to your face — and then, even when they know that you have caught
them in a lie, they have no shame. Indeed, when challenged, they will, astonishingly, either repeat the same lie or
tell a different one, and all without blinking an eye. Witness Elizabeth Warren with her repeated fabrications, one of
the latest of which is that she was fired for getting pregnant, provably a lie, yet she tenaciously repeats it without
shame. When you or I speak, our reference point is the truth. When they speak, their reference point is their
political or personal self-interest. Truth is their enemy. It exposes their corruption. When they speak,
their intent is to deceive, to mislead, and to conceal. There is no reasoning with such people.
Pelosi
Gaslighting Continues — False Claims: Administration "defying lawful subpoenas & document requests".
Nancy Pelosi continues to mislead her 'impeachment' constituents. Unfortunately the compliant media is refusing to hold her
accountable. House Democrat leadership has taken a climate assessment of democrat House members and Speaker Pelosi announced
they will not hold a House impeachment authorization vote. As a direct and specific consequence all committee subpoenas do not
carry a penalty for non-compliance. "Lawful subpoenas", literally require an enforcement mechanism; that's the "poena" part of the
word. The enforcement mechanism is a judicial penalty, and that penalty can only be created if the House votes to authorize an
impeachment inquiry.
Elizabeth
Warren's Character. The values expressed by Warren in her presidential campaign, and throughout her life, do
not accord with what I was taught in Oklahoma. She seems to have rejected her home state and created a persona very
much unlike what she must have been taught. I doubt if Warren ever would have been elected to public office in Oklahoma
because she would have been exposed as one who appears to have misrepresented her ethnic background — and her
ethnic background is not the only thing that Warren has been accused of misrepresenting. But in New England, it appears
that the commandment against lying is no impediment to political office.
Proving a Negative.
Remember a few years ago during the Obama administration when oil/gas pricing was high? The popular line among the
Democrats — obsessed as they were about not offending their Green voting bloc — was, "We can't drill
our way out of this [high oil pricing]." Just like subsequent events in other areas have proven them wrong about so
many things ("The stock market will tank if Trump is elected!"), the Democrats were wrong about this too. Dead
wrong. As fracking and other drilling/extraction technologies (such as horizontal drilling and the capability to
rejuvenate old wells previously thought to be "unproductive") have improved, the oil output of the United States has
increased to its highest level in 50 years. In fact, U.S oil production is more than double what it
was as recently as just ten years ago, before the fracking revolution.
Guerrilla Politics.
The guerrilla element started even before Trump was elected and has continued for the last three years. [...] These attacks,
as currently deployed by the Democrats, are a constant barrage of false accusations, such as the Russian collusion and the
quid pro quo with Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky. The charges against Trump need not be true, but they do need
to be overlapping and unending. The "guerrillas" attack his family, his nominees (Gorsuch and Kavanaugh), or members of
his administration (Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Sanders, et. al.). They attack using false accusations as a direct counter against
President Trump's effective use of Twitter. Nancy Pelosi expressed the strategy clearly in a press conference.
Tell a lie to the media. Let the media run with it. Cite the media later as truth. A very effective but
disingenuous means of convincing the masses that Trump is an ogre.
Elizabeth
Warren Is Jussie Smollett. Elizabeth Warren has a moving story about being fired from a teaching job because
she was pregnant, a story that perfectly complements her political narrative that she is the tribune and champion of those
who have been treated unfairly by the powerful. Joe Biden has a moving — and horrifying — story
about his wife and daughter being killed by a drunk driver, a story that similarly could not have been designed more
perfectly to bolster his political image as a man who can be counted on to soldier on in the face of adversity. Of
course, neither story is true.
It's
Good To Be A Democrat. Cory Booker invented an imaginary gangster friend named T-Bone and campaigned in the
past on the lessons his "friend" taught him. Kamala Harris claimed she smoked weed and listened to music on college
from artists that hadn't yet recorded a note. Bernie Sanders removed millionaires from his list of people to blame for
people's ills once he became one and he owns three times as many homes as the average American family. Beto O'Rourke, a
wealthy man who married the daughter of a billionaire, declared his miserly charitable giving (0.3 percent of his income,
$1,166) wasn't what it appears to be because he didn't deduct all his giving (then why did he declare any if it?), while
claiming the time he's spending running for office is charity. You name the Democratic candidate and there is a story
of raging hypocrisy or straight-up lies they've told right there for the world to see. Yet consumers of the Democratic
"mainstream" media has only, at best, heard them in passing before they were memory holed.
109
House GOP Back Movement to Condemn Adam Schiff. One-hundred and nine Republicans have backed a movement to
condemn House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for deliberately misrepresenting a phone call between
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a list obtained by Breitbart News Friday
[10/10/2019]. Over half of House Republicans have moved to condemn chairman Schiff by cosponsoring House Freedom Caucus
Chairman Andy Biggs' (R-AZ) H. Res. 604, according to a list obtained by Breitbart News. H. Res. 604
would condemn Schiff for retelling a fictional phone call between Zelensky and Trump.
87
House Republicans Move to Censure Adam Schiff. Eighty-seven House Republicans have joined the movement to
rebuke Rep. Schiff by cosponsoring House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs' (R-AZ) H. Res. 604, according to a list
obtained by Breitbart News. H. Res. 604 would condemn Schiff for retelling a fabricated conversation between Zelensky
and Trump.
There's
A Reason Democrats Are Screaming About Conspiracies. After two years of "Trump is a Russian puppet" having been
found untrue, Democrats have no business calling anything a conspiracy. [...] The Russian hoax was the ultimate conspiracy,
and it was perpetrated by Democrats. There wasn't one journalist at these liberal outlets who'd even entertain the idea
that the Trump campaign was anything but guilty. Discussions on cable news were not about "what if" it were true, they
were about what it being true would mean and where it would lead.
25 lies
liberals will tell you. [#1] Everything we need to know about global warming can be learned
from a 16-year-old girl with Asperger's and a famously ignorant former bartender who was just elected to Congress.
[#2] Of all the people we could have influencing children in our society, it makes the most sense to have drag queens
reading to kids in libraries. [#3] If you like your doctor or your healthcare plan, you can keep them AND
it will cost $2,500 less per year for a family! Trust us! [#4] Only bad people engage in cultural
appropriation, which is why all of us should live in caves and carry sticks around lest we accidentally use something that
our culture adopted from another two hundred years ago. [#5] This time socialism will work!
Adam
Schiff gets 4 'Pinocchios' from Wa-Po for lie about whistleblower. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam
Schiff was awarded four "Pinocchios" by The Washington Post for his comments about contact with the whistleblower. The
California Democrat claimed in an interview last month that the members of his panel "have not spoken directly" with the
person who filed the complaint about President Trump's call with the leader of Ukraine which has now led to an impeachment
inquiry by Democrats. The Washington Post fact-checker declared Schiff's statement was "flat-out false." "We
have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to," Schiff said on MSNBC last month when asked
about any interaction with the anonymous person.
The
Walls Really are Closing In On the Elite. Whenever the Left makes a characterization of the Right, it's safe to
be that it's probably projection. [...] Conservatives are labeled as racists, but the Left features such luminaries as
recently fired anti-white New York Times editor Sarah Jeong and blackface aficionados like Virginia governor Ralph Northam
and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trump is said to be a despot, but campus leftists stifle dissent and Antifa
freely employs violence to that end. When Eric Holder says that Republicans will cheat in the 2020 election, it means
that Democrats will cheat in the 2020 election.
Nancy
Pelosi On Schiff's Made Up Trump Phone Call: 'He Did Not Make It Up'. Nancy Pelosi tried to throw a lifeline to
Rep. Adam Schiff, insisting the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee "did not" make up a phone call between
President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Schiff undeniably fabricated quotes as he led off a hearing
with acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire last week. ABC News' anchor George Stephanopoulus even
confronted Schiff over the incident, playing the clip of the disgraceful display and stating, "That was you making up
dialogue, putting it in the president's mouth." The California Democrat has since claimed he was simply engaged in a parody.
The Editor says...
This is a very common Democrat tactic: They will say or do something outrageous, and if there are any objections,
follow up a few days later with, "Can't you take a joke?"
Examples abound:
How
The Media's Lies About Innocent Fathers Also Harm Their Daughters. While I don't know them personally, I can't
help but feel empathy for Justice Brett Kavanaugh's two young daughters, Margaret and Liza. I'm sure it's hard for them
to understand why anyone would attempt to humiliate someone they know is a wonderful man, all based on something even the
attackers know is a lie. I suspect that, like me, Margaret and Liza never thought they would have a famous father, or
that anything so terrible could happen to him as it has to all three of us. My father certainly wasn't famous when I
was growing up, but he is now. He's Andy Puzder. He's often in the press talking or writing about ideas to help
American workers. My dad comes from a working-class background; he worked his way through law school and later became
the CEO of a big company and President Trump's first choice to be America's secretary of labor. While Justice Kavanaugh
made it through the confirmation process, my dad didn't. His nomination was defeated because of abuse allegations that,
like those against Justice Kavanaugh, were not only unsupported but admittedly false.
Kevin
McCarthy Signs Resolution to Censure 'Lying' Adam Schiff. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced Wednesday
[10/2/2019] that he has signed a resolution to censure House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for performing a
fabricated conversation between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a recent hearing.
Limbaugh:
Fox News Ought to Change Its Name to 'the Fox Never Trumper Network'. [Quoting Rush Limbaugh 10/2/2019]]
["]Well, Schiff is out there as the chairman of a committee, the Intelligence Committee, openly lying about the
president's phone call with the president of Ukraine — and he lied about it again today in his joint press
conference with Pelosi. He literally said that the president told the Ukrainian president to "create dirt," to "make it
up, as much as you can." When the Republicans finally called him on it, Schiff said, "Well, I was just engaging parody.
I'm sorry it wasn't seen." Well, look, you have the sense of humor of a snail. Nobody thinks anything about you is
funny, Pencil Neck. It wasn't parody, anyway — and if you have to tell somebody that you've just done parody,
it was very bad parody. It was not parody. It was an attempt to purposely misstate and mischaracterize the words
and the actions of the president of the United States.["]
When books spread
fake news. The publishing industry deserves as much scrutiny as other forms of media. The mere fact that
it's in a book does not make it any more reliable than what you can find anywhere else.
If
The Case For Trump's Impeachment Is So Strong, Why Are Liberals Lying About It? Almost everything about the
allegations that have Democrats moving toward impeachment of the President is a lie, a proven lie. And they don't
care. The call with Ukrainian President Zelensky did take place, so that part is true. From there, the lies
begin. "There was a quid pro quo" they said. The President threatened to withhold aid money from Ukraine unless
Zelensky investigated Joe and Hunter Biden, we were told. The transcript showed that did not happen. That fact
did not stop any Democrat from saying it did. It did not stop anchors at CNN and MSNBC from saying it did.
Adam
Schiff Performs Fake Conversation Between Trump and Ukraine President. House Intelligence Committee Chairman
Adam Schiff (D-CA) performed an entirely made-up conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
during his opening statement at a committee hearing Thursday morning [9/26/2019]. The White House released a transcript of
a phone call between Trump and Zelensky on Wednesday, but Schiff made up and fabricated his own transcript that he read at the
hearing, which sought to create the quid pro quo that Democrats have accused the president of making.
Adam
Schiff Did One of the Most Insane, Disgusting Things Ever Done In a Congressional Hearing. There is no member
of Congress more disgusting than Adam Schiff, and there are a lot of disgusting members of Congress. He spent the last
two years claiming to have super-secret proof of Trump colluding with Russia, being given a permeant spot the Sunday shows to
constantly lie about what he actually knew. When it all came crashing down, he paid no price at all, still insisting
the evidence was "in plain sight." Now, he's found a new hobby horse. Namely, this Trump-Ukraine nonsense and that
meant having a hearing today [9/26/2019] with the Intel Chief about the "whistle-blower" complaint.
Schiff
called out for fabricating Ukraine call transcript in opening remarks. Rep. Adam Schiff acknowledged on
Thursday that he made up parts of the Ukraine phone call transcript when he delivered his opening statement at a much-watched
TV hearing with the U.S. top intelligence officer. Mr. Schiff, California Democrat and chairman of the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said his reading was "part in parody" — but made the admission only
after Rep. Mike Turner, Ohio Republican, called him out.
Don't
like the facts? Just Schiff the narrative. First we were told the phone call was, as The Washington Post
breathlessly wrote, "so troubling that it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower
complaint." Then we actually got the transcript, and it was nothing, so we were informed by CNN that we had "to read
between the lines." In other words, as the crooked FBI agent said of the Russian collusion hoax, there is no there
there. So it was time for the Democrats to ... just plain make it up. Thus, on Thursday morning [9/26/2019],
live on most TV channels, Rep. Adam Schiff, the Framingham-born hack Congressman from California, read into the record an
utterly fabricated statement from President Trump to the president of Ukraine: [...]
Hollywood's
Fake News Problem Is All Too Real. The media's credibility woes are getting worse, but they've got company.
[...] Celebrities have never been more vocal, more politically active. From social media to the not-so-hallowed halls
of Hate Night TV, stars are shoving their facts and opinions in our faces. For the last two years, that means sharing
any information which could take down President Donald Trump or his associates. And, it's increasingly clear, wallowing
in Fake News sans apology. The latest example came when a gaggle of stars insisted Supreme Court Justice Brett
Kavanaugh should be impeached following new sexual assault accusations against him, courtesy of The New York Times. It
took all of 24 hours for the Times' scoop to collapse like a building targeted for demolition. Did the assembled stars
apologize? No.
The
Propaganda of the Left Is a Weapon of War. The hallmark of propaganda is that outright lies are more useful
than the truth. The New York Times' vile lies about Justice Brett Kavanaugh were so flimsy, they couldn't last
the day. Yet even after the Times' correction (which amounted to a retraction), Democrats kept shooting the fake
ammunition. That's because their target isn't actual investigations or impeachment proceedings. The lie itself is
the goal. Once out, even if retracted, it serves their purpose: to smear and intimidate. Truth need not
apply. The more outrageous, ugly, and frightening the propaganda, the more powerful it is. That's all that is
necessary for success. The lie doesn't even have to be plausible. It just has to meet the base desires of the
targeted audience.
Trump,
Kavanaugh, Lewandowski and our malignant Left. No sensible person believed the ridiculous accusation Christine
Blasey-Ford made against Kavanaugh. Her supposed closest friend at the time didn't believe her tall tale. It was
unbelievable from the beginning; only truth-challenged leftists would have jumped on that bandwagon thanks to their undying
belief that conservatives are even dumber than they are. It was a tragic travesty that most likely did permanent damage
to the psyches of Kavanaugh, his wife and daughters. That perversion of decency did permanent damage to all of
us. Do any of the perpetrators, especially those Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee who savaged the man, care
about the horrors they have visited upon that family? Not one bit. They are soulless, heartless engines of
malevolence. And they are proud of themselves for inflicting misery on an innocent family.
Democrats
and the Media Seek to Divide Americans. Rather than unifying Americans, each 2020 Democrat presidential
candidate is campaigning on dividing us into bogus victimized voting blocs. They seek to convince every American that
they are a victim in one way or another; a victim of racism, sexism, white privilege, environmental racism, income
inequality, and so on. The tag team of Democrats and fake news media are promoting the insane lie that the earth will
be inhabitable [sic] in 12 years unless we elect a Democrat president. Delusional Democrats and fake news media
actually believe they can win the White House by dividing Americans, encouraging blacks to hate whites, women to hate men,
and homosexuals to hate heterosexuals. Democrats believe it is immoral to refer to America as "our" country. We
have allowed old hippies to teach our children the lie that America ravaged the world for our prosperity. Therefore, it
is only fair that we abandon borders, sharing our ill-gotten wealth with the world. Democrats also believe allowing
needy unskilled people to freely invade our country will increase Democrat voter registration.
Sure
Democrats Will Lose in 2020, But They Are Dangerous Now, And Must Be Stopped! When one of the candidates looks
into a camera and proclaims the United States to be plagued with "systemic racism" you know they are lying. But when
the entire group does it — hundreds of times in three hours — it takes on a perverse sense of strategy.
[...] In America you have individuals who have made it to the top of every industry of every race and background. We
are the least racist nation on the planet. Yet the Democratic candidates are willing to slander their fellow
countrymen, if it will help them turn out 15 percent more votes in heavily Democratic districts where these lies are
continually repeated.
Hands Off the Electoral College.
Everyone had that one annoying childhood friend who would spoil every game. [...] Nothing better typifies the Left's disdain
for our institutions today. The Supreme Court was fine until President Trump appointed two constitutionalist justices,
but now, Democrats are openly supporting court-packing to ram their agenda through. The Senate was fine for centuries,
but now, when Democrats control the House but not the Senate, leftists openly call for its abolition. The latest fad on
the left is the push to eliminate the Electoral College, which has lately been tarred as a "racist scam," a "misogynistic and
sexist" institution, and the "greatest threat to our democracy."
Fact
Check: Beto O'Rourke 'Absolutely Wrong' on Ambulance Shortage After Texas Shootings. Former
Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) received praised from his rivals onstage at the third Democrat debate at Texas Southern
University in Houston, Texas, on Thursday evening. But he is being criticized by local West Texas CBS affiliate KOSA-7,
which says that his claim that there were not enough ambulances available is "absolutely wrong."
It's Official:
The Democrats Just Want You Dead. Americans are normalizing violence in their politics, but not in the way the
media and the "experts" would have you believe. No, "white supremacists" are not the greatest threat to your safety,
despite what Don Lemon and his cohorts in the Fake News Industrial Complex say. In fact, of 250 shootings in America
wherein four or more people were shot (which is the official definition of a "mass" shooting), not one of the perpetrators
was a conservative, let alone a "white nationalist." But that hasn't stopped the Democrats.
Amy
McGrath Accused of Using Coal Miners as 'Political Pawns'. Randy Robbins and Albrow Hall are both coal miners
suffering from black lung who traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this summer to raise awareness about the disease.
They were asked after the trip to participate in a reenactment of their bus ride to Washington that they believed was going
to be used for a documentary for the Black Lung Association. It came as a shock, then, when footage of their bus ride
appeared on the airwaves as the centerpiece of a McGrath attack ad against Republican senator Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
Now, their lawyer is asking the McGrath campaign to pull the ad from the air.
The White
Nationalism Fraud Part 1. It is time to take a look at "white nationalism" from an honest perspective.
Over the past several weeks, there have been mass shootings on an unprecedented level that is being explained by the "white
nationalism" that we are told is throughout our culture. Progressive socialists speak of it as a fast-moving epidemic
that is infecting every straight white male in the country. The media and progressive socialists have invented the
"racism" trope against President Trump because of the collapse of the Russian collusion hoax. The Senior Editor of the
New York Times instructed his so-called journalists that this would be the main focus until the 2020 election.
Beginning
of US Slavery. The New York Times has begun a major initiative, the "1619 Project," to observe the 400th
anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe American history so that slavery and the
contributions of black Americans explain who we are as a nation. Nikole Hannah-Jones, staff writer for The New York
Times Magazine wrote the lead article, "America Wasn't a Democracy, Until Black Americans Made It One." She writes,
"Without the idealistic, strenuous and patriotic efforts of black Americans, our democracy today would most likely look very
different — it might not be a democracy at all." There are several challenges one can make about
Hannah-Jones's article, but I'm going to focus on the article's most serious error, namely that the nation's founders
intended for us to be a democracy. That error is shared by too many Americans. The word democracy appears nowhere
in the two most fundamental founding documents of our nation — the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.
Constitution. Instead of a democracy, the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4, declares, "The United States
shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."
Throwing
Punches for the Children — If This is Your Mantra, Zip It About Trump. Trump is just a callous and unfiltered version
of the "sophisticated" slander the left has been lobbing against the right for years through a corrupt and complicit mainstream media.
For proof of that, we could start scrolling through the endless accusations of the last few decades: centrist John McCain was called a
racist, the affable George W. Bush was tagged a bigoted war criminal, mild-mannered Mitt Romney was labeled a tax cheat, felon and
murderer. And this wasn't done by fringe activists — these were libelous claims published by mainstream media organizations
coordinating with their ideological allies in the Democrat Party. But why turn to the pages of history to prove what you can
observe right in front of your face? Is there any statement that better typifies the state of political dialogue in 2019 than
what the Democrat's chosen national leader and spokeswoman, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, said last week?
Could
this be the real reason Rashida Tlaib canceled the trip to visit her grandma? The whole kerfuffle arising out
of Israel's refusal to allow two members of Congress, Reps. Rashiba Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, to enter the country has been
pretty suspicious from the start. [...] But the fishiest part of Tlaib's story is why she declined Israel's invitation to
come ahead following a change of heart. Is it possible that the reason for her reluctance is that she would have had to
pay for the trip out of her own pocket rather than on the taxpayer's dime?
Rashida
Tlaib's Grandmother Doesn't Live In The Deprived Situation Tlaib Claimed. Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib told
a sob story of how she wanted to visit her grandmother but decided not to because of the oppression her grandmother has had
to suffer under in Palestine. One problem with that is the pictures from the area in which Tlaib's grandmother
lives: It's not the slum that was described.
Fact
Check: Elizabeth Warren Crowd Was 6,000 at Most, not 12,000. Crowd size is often seen —
rightly or wrongly — as a proxy for political support. It is not always a good measure: for example,
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) drew massive crowds across California in 2016, but lost the state to former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton by a wide margin. Still, as the Democratic Party presidential primary heats up, the rival
campaigns are touting attendance figures as a sign of momentum. That creates an incentive to exaggerate.
Ilhan
Omar and Rashida Tlaib's Shameful Lie-Fest. In case you missed it, congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib
hosted a press conference yesterday [8/19/2019], to speak about their banning from Israel. As expected, it was an
Israel bashing-fest, replete with lies.
Of Course,
A Massive Lie Was Peddled At The Tlaib-Omar Presser. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN)
were supposed to on a trip to Israel today until their support for the viciously anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions movement caused them to be barred from entering. This is established policy. This shouldn't be shocking
to anyone. BDS advocates for Israel's destruction. Barring Omar and Tlaib was the right call. The two held
a press conference in Minnesota, where the gruesome twosome railed against the Israeli policy of so-called occupation.
Omar alleged that she had planned to meet with members of the Israeli Knesset and said it was wrong for the Netanyahu
government to bar duly-elected members of Congress from entering the country.
The Editor says...
"Duly-elected members of Congress" are elected representatives in this country only. Members of Congress do not
represent citizens of other countries, and are not automatically entitled to enter any other country.
Democratic
Congresswoman Deb Haaland Calls Antifa 'Peaceful Protesters'. epresentative Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) defended the
violence of the far-left Antifa in an interview on CNN. Over the weekend, Antifa rioted yet again in the city of
Portland, Oregon, as the right-wing group Proud Boys was planning another demonstration in the city. Multiple videos
emerged showing numerous clear acts of violence from Antifa, including the left-wing mob chasing a little girl through the
city streets, and throwing hammers at members of the Proud Boys.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's claim about the homeless was so absurd
even Politifact couldn't spin it. Back in June, California Gov. Gavin Newsom made an incredible claim
about homeless people in his state. Asked why the homeless population hadn't declined when he was Mayor of San
Francisco, Newsom said, "The vast majority (of San Francisco's homeless people) also come in from — and we know
this — from Texas. Just (an) interesting fact." Newsom's claim was discounted by the LA Times last
month but Politifact decided to investigate independently. This week the least reliable fact-checker in the business
agreed that Newsom's statement was absurd, giving it a "Pants on Fire" rating.
Blaming
Every Bad Economic Indicator On The Trade War Just Proves You Don't Know What You're Talking About. [Scroll
down] Generally, these pundits have no idea what they are talking about. Another measure of the yield curve, the
three month-10 year Treasury spread — which is more predictive than the two year-10 year Treasury
spread — has been negative for months. You didn't see a bunch of punditry about that when it first went
negative in March. That's because everyone is being political. The left wants a recession because they hate
President Trump, and they are economically illiterate to boot. Hillary Clinton once said the Bush tax cuts caused the
2008 financial crisis, which is ridiculous. And today's Democrat policies would make any recession we did have far
worse, via the government increasing taxes and further cannibalizing the private sector. Yet there are elements of the
establishment GOP, including Never-Trumpers, who hate Trump almost as much as the left does.
The
economic sky isn't falling — here's what you need to know about scary ups and downs. Let us not let
the left-wing media talk us into a recession. Make no mistake: they are eager to do so. For months the liberal
press has echoed Democrats' hand-wringing on the campaign trail, repeating Sen. Elizabeth Warren's unwarranted warnings
about debt levels for instance, or former Vice President Joe Biden's alarms about how President Trump's trade confrontation
with China is hurting consumers. After all, it's hard to call for a revolution if the people are happy.
WaPo
Gives Four Pinocchios to 2020 Dems Who Say Michael Brown Was Murdered. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.)
and Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) both tweeted last Friday [8/9/2019] — which was the fifth anniversary of Brown's
death in Ferguson, Missouri — that Brown had been murdered by Officer Darren Wilson. However, Wilson was not
indicted for a crime, and the Obama administration Justice Department issued an 86-page investigative report concluding there
was no credible evidence that Wilson wasn't telling the truth that he killed Brown in self-defense.
Stacey
Abrams: RNC Going to Send Off-Duty Officers to Scare 'Voters of Color'. Tuesday [8/13/2019] on MSNBC's
"The Rachel Maddow Show," former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams accused the Republican National
Committee of planning to send off-duty law enforcement officers into minority neighborhoods to "scare voters, particularly
voters of color."
Democrats: The Party of
Dirty Language. I have a tenet that I stand by on the subject of race. The person who raises the subject
first is usually the racist. And my addendum is the person who talks about race the longest is almost certainly the
racist. Donald Trump has been fending off charges of racism since the beginning of the campaign, and it obviously makes
him angry. He also has been fending off charges of anti-Semitism, which probably makes him angrier still. After
all, some members of his family are Jewish. One converted! She converted to Orthodoxy! That is no small
thing. Then too there have been charges of xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, and, if I am not mistaken, anti-alcoholism.
The Democrats episodically try each charge out. They see if it discredits the president. When it does not, they
try another slander.
Media
Bias/Fact Check: Just Another Bogus Leftist Media Watchdog. A Jihad Watch reader recently called my
attention to "Media Bias/Fact Check," which claims to be "The Most Comprehensive Media Bias Resource," but is actually yet
another viciously biased hard-Left site that tries to discredit all who dissent from their agenda by falsely claiming that
they're presenting inaccurate information.
The
American Left Goes Increasingly Stalinist. Calling nearly all their opponents "racists," as so many "progressive"
Democrats do, whether they are or not — and not even seeming to care if this is so — is straight out of
Stalin's NKVD secret police disinformation playbook. Lying or, equally bad, purposefully ignoring the obvious truth is
another similar technique, as virtually all left/liberal media have done regarding the Dayton, Ohio, mass murderer. He
was an avowed supporter of leftist presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, although we hear almost no mention of that in
"progressive" or even "liberal" quarters (they're melding), only endless repetition that the El Paso shooter was inspired by
Trump, even if he wasn't. Missing, too, and equally obvious is that the motivations of such killers are considerably
deeper than anybody's politics. More often than not, they stem from issues far more complex and intractable than the
to-and-fro of daily events.
Bernie
Sanders has made the same false claim about health spending for 10 years. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
is once again saying on the campaign trail and in interviews that the US spends twice as much on health care, per capita, as
any other country in the world. It's a claim he has been making since at least 2009, when PolitiFact noted that it was
false. He made it again in 2015, when PolitiFact noted that it was still false.
Trump Tweets About Dayton
Visit, Says News Conference Afterward By Ohio Lawmakers Was 'A Fraud'. President Donald Trump tweeted he had "a
warm & wonderful visit" in Dayton, Ohio, Wednesday [8/7/2019] and also hit back at the allegedly "fraud" news conference Ohio
Sen. Sherrod Brown and Mayor Nan Whaley held. Trump visited Dayton following a shooting Sunday morning that killed
nine people and injured 27 others. He did not speak to press but visited survivors in the hospital and spoke to
Brown and Whaley, both Democrats who said they didn't hold much hope for change following the meeting. Trump tweeted
the news conference was "a fraud" and said Brown and Whaley misrepresented what happened at the hospital.
Debut
of the Democrat-Media 'White Terrorist' Smear. Get ready for the new 'Progressive' norm. If you voted for
Donald Trump, wear a MAGA cap in public, question in any way the radical Democrat narrative, you are no longer a 'patriot'.
You are a 'nationalist', a 'white supremacist', but now even an out-and-out 'white terrorist'. That's the narrative the
Democrats are shoehorning you into: 'Donald Trump's a "racist", 'an unapologetic nationalist', 'a White supremacist' and
since the El Paso massacre by a crazed shooter, 'A White Terrorist'. If you voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton in
2016, plan to vote for him again in 2020, or support him in any way, you are a 'White Terrorist' too.
Ilhan
Omar Claims White Men 'Cause Most Of The Deaths' In America. She's Wrong. Imbecilic bigot Rep. Ilhan
Omar (D-MN) claimed in a recently resurfaced interview on Qatari propaganda network Al Jazeera that Americans should be
"fearful" of white men who are "causing most of the deaths within this country." These racist and blatantly false comments
came in response to a question about Islamophobia. The interviewer asked if Islamophobia might be the result of a
reasonable fear people have about Islamic terrorism. Omar could have responded that we shouldn't fear anyone based on
race, ethnicity, or religion, and that each person should be judged according to his or her own merits — but
instead, she took the opportunity to fear monger about the dreaded white man.
The
Co-Conspirators in the American Left's Takeover of the Democratic Party. Using the cudgel of the mainstream
media, the entertainment complex and the education establishment combined with the apathy and cowardice of the Republican
Establishment, the American Left had successfully, within 25 years after the Reagan landslides, inculcated into a plurality
of the American people a belief that there are no moral absolutes and that the state, not God, is the source of the inalienable
rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and thus the state can deny those rights to whomever it chooses. They
are creating the belief that this country's founding documents are arcane, racially insensitive and unsuitable for today.
They teach they young that this nation is and always has been racist and oppressive, that religious liberty, the right to bear
arms, and unfettered freedom of speech are subject to the whims of the state.
The
Democrats' Blueprint To Steal 2020 From The Voters Of America. I readily admit there is almost always a fair
amount of exaggeration involved in presidential election cycles. But in the 2020 cycle there has existed two levels of
dishonesty that is shockingly horrid. On one hand almost none of the things the Democratic candidates are saying are
true. Capitalism hasn't failed. America is not in decline. Our allies respect us more than at any time in
the modern era (perhaps only beaten by the days just following 9/11). We have expanded safety, prosperity and liberty to
every aspect of American life. The other layer of dishonesty is in the rhetoric of the new voices of the Democrat's
"fresh new faces." "The Squad" and the followers who prop them up are not willing to work in the system. They claim
patently false things. They claim shocking things. They claim to be informed. And they call "racism" to
anyone who disagrees. The media seem to love these new voices and look upon them with almost zero scrutiny.
Florida
Dem admits lying about treating Pulse shooting victims. A queer Democratic politician who claimed to have
treated Pulse nightclub shooting victims admitted to Florida officials that she lied about her service. Elizabeth
McCarthy told the Florida Department of Health that she had fabricated claims that she was a cardiologist who had treated
victims of the mass shooting on the LGBT destination. 'I lied. It is a false statement. I just made it up,'
McCarthy said, according to an affidavit released Wednesday by the Florida Department of Health and obtained by Florida Politics.
AOC
and 'Concentration Camps'. [Scroll down] The object, which is being pursued on many levels by many
individuals and organizations, is to erase the Jews. Not only must Jews be erased from humanity, but in order to
completely fulfill this Nazi/SJP/Muslim Brotherhood dream, the Jews must also be erased geographically with the destruction
of Israel and historically with the denial or trivialization of the Holocaust. Taking a step in that erasure, AOC,
whether knowingly or unknowingly, is pushing a secular Replacement Theology. It is now illegal immigrants who are
victims of concentration camps. This comes after years of SJP promoting the fallacy of "Concentration Camp Gaza." Each
new lie builds on a past lie until it becomes part of the normal discourse.
Ilhan
Omar Admits Lying to High School Students. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) admitted to flubbing the facts of
an anecdote she told a large group of students to illustrate the "racism, cruelty, and injustice" she's seen in America since
being accepted as a refugee more than two decades ago. The freshman representative told 400 high school students she
was sent to a Minneapolis courtroom where she witnessed a "sweet, old ... African American lady" who spent the weekend in
jail for stealing a $2 loaf of bread to feed her "starving 5-year-old granddaughter," according to the Washington
Post. [...] Omar has also been dinged recently by the Post and others for "botched basic facts" during her
attempts to "go viral."
'This
country was founded on white supremacy': Beto O'Rourke speaks with Tennessee immigrants. On his second day of
events in Nashville, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke met with immigrants and refugees living in Tennessee on
Monday [7/8/2019] for a roundtable discussion. O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman, first held a rally at Marathon
Music Works on Sunday, drawing hundreds of supporters to the campaign event where he largely focused on immigration and
decried President Donald Trump's policies on detaining migrants at the southern border.
Linda
Sarsour's Tweets About Jesus Echo Claims of Numerous Palestinian Officials. Controversial Palestinian-American
activist Linda Sarsour ignited a kerfuffle on Twitter over the weekend by tweeting that Jesus was "a Palestinian." After
drawing strong reactions, she fell back to a position of saying there were "multiple truths" about Jesus — that he
can be seen to have been both Jewish and a Palestinian. The "Jesus was a Palestinian" claim is one frequently made by
supporters of the Palestinian cause, for political purposes. Sarsour kicked off the row with a Friday night [7/5/2019]
tweet, saying, "Jesus was Palestinian of Nazareth and is described in the Quran as being brown copper skinned with wooly
hair."
The Editor says...
[#1] The Koran/Quran is not a reliable source for truthful information about Jesus. Or anything else. [#2] The
people who are called Palestinians today are the same people who were kbown as Philistines in the Bible. [#3] Democrats
love to make rash assertions about Christianity when they think it will benefit them politically. Unfortunately, most
Democrats are too poorly educated to challenge those assertions.
Not
even the 4th of July is sacred to these hate-filled leftists. Since the moment President Trump announced his
plan to celebrate the 4th of July with a parade and a tribute to our military, leftists' heads exploded. [...] The angry Left
was certain Trump's 4th of July event would be a "campaign rally." It was not. It was a glorious tribute to all
branches of the military, to law enforcement, and to first responders. His speech honored the American past, its
heroes, and its accomplishments. The Left predicted a low turnout! There were nearly 800,000 people on the Mall
to see and share in the festivities. The place was packed. The Left just keeps getting things wrong. And
these people seem incapable of learning from their mistakes. They've been making the same ones since the campaign of 2016.
Florida Dem ends campaign
after claim she removed '77 bullets' from Pulse shooting victims challenged. A Democratic candidate for
Florida's House reportedly has ended her campaign after being challenged on her detailed and graphic claims she treated
victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. [...] But FloridaPolitics.com published a report earlier this month challenging
her claims she worked as a cardiologist at Orlando Regional Medical Center[.] The report listed the following discrepancies:
the Florida Department of Health did not have a record of her being a licensed doctor; the parent company of the medical center said
there's no record of any doctor by that name; another company the candidate claimed to be working for denied she worked there;
and University of Central Florida officials said they couldn't find a record of the medical degree she claimed.
Dems
Are Planning to Steal the 2020 Election. Democrats have an insurance policy for the 2020 Presidential election,
and it has nothing to do with the eventual Democratic Party nominee. The original policy was initiated by Obama, Comey,
Brennan, McCabe, Hillary, and their ilk, bragged about by Strzok to his paramour, and paid for by the Democrat/media
cabal. The mephitic Mueller tried to cash it in, but the hero Marine got slapped down by Barr. It's a plan to
"win" the election by any means necessary, even by cheating if necessary. Of its components, the "failsafe," is most
intriguing, if for no other reason than it is so devious, underhanded, clever, and inventive, that it's surprising it comes
from the same left which gave us the ridiculously ludicrous Steele dossier and Smollett hoax.
Red Ed.
The almost comical thing about the U.S. is that most people persist in believing that the top educators are harmless, nice,
pleasant, typical Americans. But the field of education has been a whirlpool or cesspool of socialist-communist-collectivist
thinking for more than 120 years. Throughout that time, these subversives operated covertly but belligerently.
They were the tireless termites in our basement. At first, John Dewey wanted to call himself what he was, a socialist,
but he realized that the public wasn't ready for the S-word. He urged the Socialist Party of America to change its
name. Dewey ended up calling himself a Progressive, a Liberal, or a Democrat. Point is, explicating American
history is difficult because the Left was always hiding and lying.
Multiculturalism Is a Nation
Killer. It should come as no surprise that candidates can say one thing on one day and another on another day
because they will say whatever needs to be said to appeal to the electorate. Joe Biden instantaneously flip flops on
abortion. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were as much against illegal immigration as is Donald Trump. Hillary
Clinton was once against gay marriage. In totalitarian societies, the truth is what the dictator says at any given
moment. In democratic societies, the truth is what the mass public wants to hear at any given moment.
Reality
is Not an Option. As soon as people started to believe that everybody isn't merely equal before the law, but
that all groups of people must be equal every which way, we made enemies with an ocean of inconvenient facts.
Instead of the slow, methodical practice of ferreting reality from nature (we used to call this science) people began to tie
their beliefs to what they thought would be nice. It would, of course, be nice if homosexual men didn't engage in
pedophilia at an alarming rate compared to heterosexual men — but they do. It would also be quite nice if
blacks had, on average, about the same IQ scores as whites or Asians — but they don't. It would certainly
warm our hearts if Islam really were the religion of peace — but fifteen hundred years of history and the
uncounted dead of virtually every culture that has ever come in contact with Islam say otherwise. When people detach
themselves from hard, unpleasant realities they get very good at creating and maintaining flexible narratives. When
facts are banished, reality just is what you want believe. Or what you've been told to believe.
Fauxcahontas
Makes Heap Big Surge in Presidential Race. If you hadn't already picked up on it, the biggest surge in the
Democrat nominating race over the past couple of months has not come from Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has settled into polling
consistently in the 7-8% support range. While that's fairly respectable, we might have expected a little better
performance from a guy who has received tens of millions of dollars in free, fawning air time from our fake news media since
March. No, the biggest surge has come from exactly the source we should have all anticipated, the life-long human fraud
who has gotten everything she has achieved in life by lying. This is a woman who doesn't just lie about economics, not
just about the law, not just about public policy; oh, no, that's not nearly enough. Elizabeth Warren is a woman who
has spent her entire adult life disgracefully lying about who she even is as a person, pretending to be of American Indian
descent in order to move ahead in line for plum jobs, to obtain licenses to practice law, and even to get elected to the
United States Senate.
Joe
Biden: 'Wasn't One Single Hint of a Scandal or a Lie' in Obama Years. Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed
Wednesday that there were no scandals or lies in the Obama-Biden administration. "Know what I was most proud of?" he
asked voters in Iowa. "For eight years, there wasn't one single hint of a scandal or a lie."
The Editor says...
In a way he's right. There was no mention of Obama's scandals and lies in the news media. Joe Biden is apparently
hoping you get all of your information from television.
Why
did Mueller team distort Trump attorney's voicemail? The controversy over the selective editing of a voicemail
message from President Trump's former attorney in the report by Robert Mueller has added fuel to the arguments against the
appointment of special counsels. The Mueller report says that attorney John Dowd reached out to Robert Kelner,
Gen. Michael Flynn's lawyer, after Flynn withdrew from a joint defense agreement with the Trump legal team and asked
Kelner to give him a "heads up." The report characterized the voicemail message as an attempt by the president's
counsel to obstruct Flynn's cooperation with the Mueller probe, and that's also how much of the press reported on it.
The
Stacey Abrams Myth Becomes the Democratic Catechism. Stacey Abrams's refusal to lose the Georgia gubernatorial
election graciously was one of the low points of the 2018 midterms. But her insistence that Brian Kemp and the
Republicans stole the election from her has now become an article of faith among Democrats. Democratic presidential
contenders who traveled to Atlanta this week to speak to the African-American Leadership Council repeated the claim, which
Abrams has made more than a dozen times since she lost to Kemp by 54,723 votes last November. In rote fashion, they
repeated Abrams's charges that the outcome was determined by "voter suppression" conducted by Kemp, who during the race was
Georgia's secretary of state.
NPR
says babies aren't babies until they're born. It is repulsive that taxpayer-funded NPR goes to these extremes
to slant their coverage of a "life and death" issue (to quote Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand), and is yet another example of
the making of fake news. Leftists have always engaged in the corruption of language to entice, deceive, and coerce the
dull and unwary. Hence "Illegal immigrant," a factually correct term, becomes the inane "undocumented alien."
Those who wish to be a member of the opposite sex simply have to say that they are, and, voilà, they are
"transgendered." Yet, pro-abortion progressives attempt to dehumanize small humans by labeling them as "fetuses" or
"non-viable tissue masses."
The
Seven Self-Serving Stratagems of the Despotic Left. [#6] Never fail to utilize the ultimate tactic in promoting
dogma or denigrating one's opponent: The Big Lie. People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if
it is repeated frequently enough, people will sooner or later accept it as the truth. Whether it is the fabricated dire
consequences of so-called climate change; Donald Trump colluding with Russia; the myth of rampant white nationalism and that
this is a virulently racist nation; the examples over the years are legion.
Donna
Brazile goes too far on Fox News, claims Russia is the reason Hillary not elected president. At what point does
Fox News pull the plug when a featured talking head spouts a discredited conspiracy theory? Donna Brazile, who forever
discredited herself as corrupt when she supplied debate questions in advance to her former boss, Hillary Clinton, and was
fired by CNN for it, found a new home at Fox News as one of their "contributors" (people paid to be available a certain
number of hours for on-air commentary). But in an appearance over the weekend, she made the argument that Hillary Clinton
lost only because of Russian interference — a contention for which there is no evidence whatsoever.
Democrats
Must Stop Living in a Fantasy World. Men are women. Hillary Clinton won the 2016 presidential
election. Inequality is the new equality. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. On and on.
Democrats live in a politically manufactured world akin to Truman Burbank's reality TV world. Are Democrats incapable
of recognizing truth when they see it?
The UN's species
extinction fraud. We have encroached on the habitat of some animals. But in fact not a single species has
been shown to be either threatened or endangered by warming of the Earth by man's increasing use of fossil fuels and the
carbon dioxide emissions therefrom. The recent alarmist report, to the contrary, issued by the UN, contains no physical
evidence whatever. It is entirely based on cherry picked sampling data which is then fed into a mathematical equation
primed to yield the absurd alarmist report which a willing media announces in shrieking tones (as usual). These people
know they are lying but are not bothered by it, which is why we get so many horrid politicians.
Nadler:
'No Basis Whatsoever to Believe That Anybody in the Intelligence Community Did Anything Wrong'. President
Donald Trump's order to declassify documents explaining the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation is "all nonsense,"
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House intelligence committee, told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Thursday
night [5/23/2019]. Nadler said there's no "basis" to examine the origins of the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.
He called it an "imaginary scandal."
Let's
Make Sure 'Obstruction of Justice' Is Properly Defined. A line must be drawn. No longer can the phrase
"obstruction of justice" be allowed to mean something obscenely different from what any fair-minded, free person knows it was
intended to mean. In the minds of most, the phrase refers to blocking the discovery of truth, truth being the only
legitimate basis on which appropriate redress can be made for some wrong that has been suffered. Any codified law that
uses the phrase "obstruction of justice" to mean something other than precisely this is in jeopardy of obstructing true
justice. If a law is needed to insure that an official investigation is not obstructed, then the language of the law
must refer to obstruction of an investigation or obstruction of police work or obstruction of intelligence activities.
Beto
O'Rourke: 'I don't have complete confidence' Trump was elected fairly. Democratic presidential hopeful Beto
O'Rourke pointed to Russian hacking of Florida voter registration information as support for his suspicions about the 2016
presidential election. When asked in an MSNBC interview Saturday [5/18/2019] if he was confident President Trump had
been elected fairly, the former Texas congressman agreed the use of propaganda on voters and electoral system breaches gave
him doubts.
The Editor says...
[#1] Nobody has used misleading propaganda to try to get elected more than Robert F. O'Rourke. [#2] Nobody
has taken advantage of "electoral system breaches," i.e., dead voters, than the Democratic Party.
Why
are so many Democrats so reprehensible in exactly the same way? [Eric] Holder actually was in contempt of Congress for
authentic scandals involving deaths of Americans, such as Operation Fast and Furious. Barr is not. Unlike Holder, Barr is
the smartest lawyer in the room. He knows, as does any sentient legal scholar, that to give the House Judiciary Committee what they are
asking for — names of intelligence assets, legally protected grand jury testimony — would be breaking the law. The Democrats with
their handmaidens in the media are manufacturing a "constitutional crisis" simply to hound the president and prolong the collusion hoax as
long as possible.
Another
undeserved military honor for LBJ. When former President Lyndon B. Johnson's daughters smashed champagne
bottles against a metal star atop the bow of the ship named for him last month, the crowd roared, patriotic streamers shot
skyward, and there were smiles all around. No one was churlish enough to mar the christening ceremony in Bath, Maine,
by noting that in naming the futuristic-looking stealth destroyer for the 36th president, the Navy was honoring a part-time
officer who spent decades wearing a decoration for valor that he knew full well he didn't rate.
Will
Suppression Truthers Depress 2020 Democratic Turnout? What do Stacey Abrams, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris
have in common beyond their party affiliation and delusional presidential aspirations? They are actively promoting a
conspiracy theory about a nationwide voter suppression scheme they claim has already cost the Democrats key contests in 2018.
Harris became the latest to join the chorus when she told an NAACP gathering, "Let's say this loud and clear: Without
voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia. Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida."
Ironically, the probable effect of such evidence-free claims will be to depress Democratic turnout in 2020.
Mark
Steyn: Clinton and Abrams are making politics 'impossible'. Conservative commentator and author Mark Steyn said
Monday [5/6/2019] on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that Democrats are making politics nearly "impossible" by refusing to accept election
losses. Steyn is reacting to former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton saying this weekend that the election
was "stolen" from her by Trump and the Russians. And by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams refusing to concede.
Democrats
Accuse AG Barr of Doing Exactly What Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch Did for Obama. Congressional Democrats are
clearly aware that the American people do not favor impeachment of President Trump. Even a CNN poll shows that 59
percent of the public oppose impeachment — and that's a left-leaning poll. While impeaching Trump is, for
the moment, off the table because there are no legitimate grounds to do so, the Democratic Party has set its sights on
Attorney General Barr. When Democrats didn't like the findings of the Mueller report, they accused Barr of being a
"partisan" who was "handpicked" by Trump to protect him. They now claim Barr's four-page memo summarizing the
conclusions of the report was misleading — which it wasn't, and that Barr perjured himself during previous
testimony to Congress — which he didn't. Naturally, partisan Democrats are now calling for his impeachment,
and presidential candidates are also fundraising by attacking him as well. As absurd as the claims are that Barr is
acting like Trump's personal lawyer to protect him, it's difficult not to see that Democrats are making it their business to
accuse William Barr of being everything Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch were for Barack Obama.
Rashida
Tlaib's Father Says She 'Lied Big-Time To Get Elected' In Resurfaced 2010 Newspaper Article. In a March 11,
2010 newspaper article in The Detroit News, Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) father accused her of lying "big-time to get
elected" by falsifying her address on an election affidavit. Tlaib's father, Harbi Elabed, made the accusations against
Tlaib, who at the time was a freshman state-level representative from the 12th District in Detroit's Southwest side.
The newspaper article was scrubbed from the internet when The Detroit News migrated to a new website but was available in a
subscription-based digital archive.
Biden the Liar.
Harold Schaitberger, president of the AFL-CIO-affiliated International Association of Firefighters, declared at a campaign
rally for Joe Biden today that "Joe Biden is genuine. There's nothing phony or artificial about Joe Biden." This is a
spectacularly audacious claim about one of Washington's most notorious BS artists. A few days ago, Biden declared on
The View, "We were asked, what are you proudest of from your administration? You know what I said — he said
the same thing as I did. No[t] one single whisper of scandal. That's because of Barack Obama." Perhaps Biden
believes there was no whisper of scandal because there was so much shouting about veterans dying while waiting for care at
the Department of Veterans Affairs; the "Fast and Furious" gunwalking operation at the ATF; the dysfunctional launch of
Healthcare.gov; the Syrian "red line"; Benghazi; the hacking of Office of Personnel Management records; the IRS targeting of
conservative and Tea Party groups; other government agencies harassing and targeting the president's critics; drunkenness and
reckless behavior at the U.S. Secret Service....
The Anita
Hill Rewrite. Those of us who lived through the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court came to
the conclusion that Anita Hill was lying with our eyes wide open. We observed the inconsistencies between her conduct
and her testimony. The more we learned about what had gone on behind the scenes to knock off Thomas with the
instrumentality of Hill, the more we understood that Hill was a willing instrument in a larger story. It's how the left
operates. The left also relentlessly rewrites history. See the Rosenberg case. See the Hiss case. See
the Rathergate scandal. In each case, we have relentless mendacity in the service of a bad cause. Anita Hill
presents another such case.
6
Pieces Of Evidence Anita Hill Was Lying. Anita Hill made her claim to fame by accusing Justice Clarence Thomas
of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearing back in 1991. The Left painted Thomas as a misogynistic monster despite
the glaring contradictions, lies and lack of evidence to support such a narrative. The U.S. House and Senate dismissed
the baseless accusations presented by Hill, confirmed Thomas to the court, and the public largely viewed Hill as discredited.
Despite all this, the Left, through HBO, continues to smear Thomas for the irredeemable sin of being conservative while being black.
American Ignorance.
Because I dig deeper than most people I can usually sort out the facts from the fake. One thing I've learned over time
is that the progressive left does not engage in truth nor does it traffic in honor. The left wants to totally remake
our laws, our society and our Constitution into something our founders never intended them to be. [...] Some citizens get
news secondhand from friends, family or work associates. They see headlines on social media and online service providers
like AOL. If they watch news at all they might tune into the local news or sometimes CNN. Too many people will
take what they hear as true. They won't doubt it because after all it's being broadcast by national news organizations
and those organizations certainly wouldn't report something that wasn't true, would they?
In The Maw Of Wokeness.
[Scroll down] First, keep in mind the states are required to cull their voter lists. "The 1993 National Voter
Registration Act mandates that state and local elections officers keep voter registration lists accurate by removing the
names of people who die, move or fail in successive elections to vote." Second, those 1,000 voting machines: they were
withheld "because of an ongoing federal lawsuit that argues Georgia's electronic voting machines could be hacked or tampered
with." Abrams' allies have made similar claims: "The suit was filed last November by Fair Fight Action, the
nonprofit arm of a new voting rights organization founded by [Stacey] Abrams..." Prior to the midterms, there was a
question whether the machines were vulnerable to being hacked, so a September ruling from U.S. District Judge Amy
Totenberg — an Obama appointee and sister of liberal reporter Nina Totenberg — ordered them
sequestered. Third, that 27 percent of Wisconsin black voters? It was based on a "survey" of a grand
total of 288 people, and they were asked whether they were "deterred", not blocked.
Biden's
Latest Malarkey: Obama Administration Had 'Not One Single Whisper of Scandal'. If you're gonna tell a
lie, make it a big one. Make it so astonishing, so blatant, that you cause the listener to question his own grasp on
reality. Turn down the gaslight, and when he notices, say the light was always that dim. Is he going to believe
the evidence of his own senses, or is he gonna go along to get along? All politicians do it, including our current
commander-in-chief, but few do it with as much gusto as Joe Biden. He just really digs lying, almost as much as his old
boss does.
Joe Biden
says his proudest moment of Obama's presidency was 'not one whisper of scandal'. Former vice president and
newly-minted 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden appeared on "The View" on Friday morning [4/26/2019] and told
hosts that his proudest moment of serving with President Barack Obama was that there was "not one whisper" of scandal during
the time they served together in the White House. Biden said that, coincidentally, he and Obama both told press on the
same day while in different parts of the country that the thing they were most proud of while in the White House was that
there was "not one whisper of a scandal." "Not one," Biden said. "And that's because of Barack."

Speech
Is Violence, and Vice Versa. The apotheosis of the Left's 21st-Century lunacy is its insistence that
disagreeing with leftist dogma — declining to accept the "trans" farce, for example — is "violence"
that demands suppression, while actual violence by leftists like Antifa — bashing people in the head with a
baseball bat, for instance — is merely free speech exercised by "protesters." No one in the world, with the
possible exception of a handful of mis-educated college professors and students, is dumb enough to be fooled by that inversion.
The
Russia hoax was the biggest con job in U.S. history. For 2½ years, you — we, the American
people — have been the victims of the biggest con job in American history. Every second, every hour, every
day, the Democrats, the hate-Trump media mob perpetrated a lie. Every time they said Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion,
collusion, they were smearing, besmirching and slandering a duly-elected president of the United States and trying to undo an
election. The hate-Trump media spread unbelievable conspiracy theories and lies. They betrayed their
audience. They don't care at all about the truth.
Obama
AG Eric Holder Says Stacey Abrams Won Georgia Gov. Election. Former U.S. attorney general Eric Holder said
he believes Stacey Abrams (D.) won the Georgia governor's race in 2018, where the final certified election results showed
Republican Brian Kemp winning with 55,000 more votes. "I tend to think Stacey Abrams won that election, you know?"
Holder said to The Root. In making that claim, Holder echoed other prominent Democrats in suggesting that Kemp's
role as secretary of state was a factor in the outcome. "I think the way it was conducted, the — her
opponent remaining as secretary of state, basically being the referee until about the last week of the election, certainly
gave the appearance of unfairness, and I think it was unfairness." Abrams has never conceded the race, and has also
maintained on several occasions that she won.
Nobody
In The GOP Is Inciting Violence Against Ilhan Omar. On college campuses all across America, there are
professors who think the United States has been a harmful force — Central America, Vietnam, climate change, using
a nuclear bomb, etc. They have their case. I think it's foolish, but it's not strange that Omar and other young
Democrats in Congress don't. It's fairly standard leftist fare. It is also absolutely fair game for political
attack. The real danger in regard to Democrats accusing Republicans like Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Donald Trump, and
outlets like the New York Post, of incitement to violence is that the charge is one of very few that can be used to erase
First Amendment free speech protections. It's no accident that this is the word being used. But it is an absurd
accusation. No Democrat will actually say that Crenshaw, Trump, or the New York Post editors desire harm to come to
Omar, because obviously they don't. And that takes incitement off the table.
Ilhan
Omar: United States was 'founded by genocide'. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., wrote in 2017 that America
was founded by genocide and our foreign policy smacks of "neocolonialism." [...] Omar remains on the House Foreign Affairs
Committee despite calls from Republicans to remove her from her position.
Rashida
Tlaib On Omar's Disgusting 9/11 Remarks: She's Just Speaking Truth. Islamic terrorist thugs attacked our
nation, they murdered nearly 3,000 of our citizens, and there's no other side to that, unless you want to defend terrorism.
In [Rep. Ilhan] Omar's case, she described the horrific [9/11/2001] attack by saying, "some people did something" at a CAIR
event last month. Yeah, The New York Post torched Omar for this trash today [4/11/2019]. For Congresswoman Rashida
Tlaib (D-MI), this is just another act of people trying to police speech from women of color. It's a swipe at diversity;
she hit on all of the identity politics talking points. It's still total garbage. You can be diverse and still peddle
views that are straight trash.
Raw,
stinky, progressive [lying] needs a reckoning. Reasonable citizens of our republic are frustrated. They
tire of progressive politics invading every simple moment, ruining things that used to be fun, injecting anger and
politically correct nonsense where it should not go. Sports, movies, school, award ceremonies, funerals —
everywhere one looks, P.C. nonsense attempts to spoil it. [...] A snowballing litany of events is pushing citizens too
far: Operation Fast and Furious; "Hands Up, Don't Shoot"; the Smollett race hoax, Lois Lerner's IRS attacks against Tea
Party groups; the Benghazi debacle; Hillary Clinton's 30,000 insecure emails "disappearing"; Hillary Clinton's exoneration
following a kindergarten-style FBI investigation; and, certainly most foul, a Deep State bureaucracy attempting to oust a
duly elected president. The list goes on. We who read and watch new media know many more grievous lies and
travesties of justice, the list above being just a fraction of them. Thus, some of us grow numb, depressed, and cynical.
Georgia
Democrat Stacey Abrams Claims She Won Her Election. She Lost By Nearly 55,000 Votes. Failed Georgia
Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams falsely claimed on Wednesday that she won the race for governor last year
against Republican Brian Kemp. "We had this little election back in 2018," Abrams said while speaking at the National
Action Network. "And despite the final tally and the inauguration and the situation we find ourselves in, I do have
very affirmative statement to make: We won." Kemp beat Abrams by 54,723 votes.
Fault
line: Trump is blamed for everything. Donald J. Trump — is there anything he can't do? I
ask this after the most recent example of his omniscient omnipresence in every single headline issue of the day —
in this case the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax in Chicago. When the shocking crime was first reported, it was
naturally blamed on Trump — two homophobic MAGA-hat wearing rednecks, assaulting a gay black D-list actor and
looping a noose around his neck. But now that it's been exposed as the most cynical of frauds, guess what —
it's still Trump's fault.
Whatta Bunch of Phony Baloneys.
It is an Era of Mendacity, born of the Obama Wasted Decade. At the nation's highest echelons, it was the Obama-directed
sham investigation of Hillary Clinton's felonious destruction of 33,000 emails, as Obama's Department of Justice gave orders
to the FBI not to prosecute despite the clear mandate of the statute, and as Attorney-General Loretta Lynch huddled with Bill
Clinton on that tarmac. Now that's an A-G! The falsehood and lying continued through the Steele Dossier,
the lying to the FISA court, the dishonest unmaskings of American citizens. The dishonesty of Jim Comey, the leaking of
confidential documents to the New York Times, the launching of a two-year investigation into Russian collusion that
never happened. All the perjury that was directed at bringing down Brett Kavanaugh. Lies, lies, lies —
and no consequences.
Georgia
Establishment Legislators Try to Hide Migrant Crime from Voters. Republican and Democratic legislators in
Georgia are trying to block good-government legislation that would help Georgia voters learn the number of criminal illegal
aliens in their state. The draft legislation would require state officials to provide quarterly reports on the number
of deportable illegal migrants and of non-citizens who are held in detention. But it must pass the Georgia House's
rules committee and the House floor before midnight March 7.
Democrats
Con Their Base with Green New Deal. [Scroll down] If you believe for one second that any material provision of the
Green New Deal will become policy, you're being conned. A competent media could and should prove as much in mere moments.
A competent media could and should ask Kamala Harris at every campaign stop for her precise plan to "guarantee a job with a family-sustaining
wage" to every person in the U.S. A competent media could and should rush to press Elizabeth Warren about her precise plan to
completely overhaul American power generation in a mere ten-year span without crushing the economy. After all, if a series of
Republican presidential candidates pledged together to, say, abolish Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid yet still also guarantee
health care and retirement security for all Americans, wouldn't the media be extremely curious as to how they could pull off
such an astounding achievement?
After the Coup is Gone.
The tale we've been told for more than two years — that Donald Trump's campaign team, possibly even the candidate
himself, colluded with the Kremlin to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election — has been exposed
as a lie. Various investigations into this alleged conspiracy are coming up empty and the accomplices are trying to
change the subject. Even more pathetically, some still are clinging to the farce, desperate to salvage whatever still
remains of their already sketchy credibility. To describe it as a witch hunt, the president's preferred term, is too
generous. The American public has witnessed a seditious attempt by powerful interests garrisoned throughout our
political complex to overthrow a sitting U.S. president. The orchestrated and failed coup has exceeded the routine
combat of our two-party system, where out-of-power partisans disrupt and agitate the other side. No, this has been a
full scale insurrection that has violated the boundaries of law, normalcy, and civility in an unprecedented way.
The
Democratic Party Needs To Be Destroyed Before It Destroys The Country. Everything Democrats are is a lie,
everything the advocate for is cover for those lies. And everything they are pushing is the antithesis of what made
this country the beacon of liberty for the world. I don't know why they hate liberty, I don't know why they seek to
make this country like those people flee to come here, I just know that they do. And I know they must be stopped.
Muslim
Rep. Rashida Tlaib Lied (Taqiyya) About her Residency to Run for Public Office. Taqiyya, it's prominent in
Islam, and here's Michigan's own Rep. Rashida Tlaib engaging in it to influence law in America. The petition to
impeach Talaib is nearing 300,000, and as it does, evidence has been obtained that proud, Islamist, Palestinian, anti-American
representative Rashida Tlaib lied about her residency to run for office by registering to vote at a false address. [...] Where
is the Michigan Board of Elections? Where is the mainstream media?
Rashida
Tlaib 'Lied' About Residency To Run For Office, Registered To Vote At False Address. Michigan Democrat congresswoman Rashida
Tlaib registered to vote from a false address, and represented a state House district that she did not actually live in, according to credit
score and property records obtained by Big League Politics. Tlaib's own father even said that Tlaib "lied" about her address in order
to run for office.
Senator asks FBI for perjury investigation of Kirstjen Nielsen
over family separation statements. A Democratic senator requested on Friday [1/18/2019] that the FBI open a
perjury investigation into Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, accusing her of lying about the Trump
administration's family separation policy during sworn testimony to Congress. Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon released
a previously undisclosed memo on Thursday from high-level officials at the Department of Homeland Security and Department of
Justice in 2017 that outlined policy options to deal with illegal immigration at the border. The second item on the
list is a policy to "separate family units." The memo also notes that an upshot of such policies will be the "substantial
deterrent effect."
Schumer's
$25 Billion Offer Was Never in Earnest. Most everyone's heard of the oath given at trials that compels a
witness to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." It should be noted that the oath purposely
distinguishes the gulf between "the truth" and the "whole truth." That's because, in many cases, a partial truth is
also a partial lie. This is exactly the case with the all-too-common assertion that Sen. Chuck Schumer once
offered President Trump $25 billion in border wall funds in exchange for legalizing the nation's roughly
1.8 million DACA recipients and 3.5 million Dreamers, but the White House opposed it. Well, that's the truth,
but it is certainly far from the whole truth. And as the Yiddish proverb says, "A half-truth is a whole lie."
The Left vs.
Logic. I love the leftist canard that people are all basically good. My experience has taught me that
most people are capable of at least brief periods of being nice, but nice is a long way below good. If we believe that
all people are good, then we aren't worried about MS13 gang members, ISIS terrorists, or pedophiles snatching our kids,
because they're all just misunderstood and they just want a better life. The left assumes that all people think like
they do, and live according to their standards. But the illegal crime stats tell a different story. So how do you
process such data when you start with original goodness instead of original sin?
The Left, the
Wall, and the Truth. Do leftists really believe American universities constitute "rape cultures"?
If so, why does any left-wing parent send his or her child to college? Would you send your daughter to a place you
believe is permeated by rape? Do leftists really believe that the statement "There is only one race: the
human race" is a racist statement? That is the official position of the University of California. Do leftists
really believe that virtually every criticism of former President Barack Obama emanated from racism, that all opposition
to lowering college admission standards for blacks is racist, that all attacks on George Soros are anti-Semitic?
If leftists believe any of the above, let alone all of it, they are deluded people. And the existence of tens of
millions of deluded people in a society can only portend catastrophe.
Senator
Mark Warner Claims He was Gang-of-Eight Member in 2016, He Wasn't. Senator Mark Warner didn't become a Go8
member until Senator Dianne Feinstein abdicated her Senate Intelligence Chair position in January 2017. Kinda hard to
talk about briefings he never participated in. It's all made up from there.
The Dems Who Cried 'Wolf!'
When Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer did their thing at that podium after the President's Oval Office address, they wildly
accused him of stoking "fear" and engaging in a "temper tantrum." Yet, we just had seen the President's speech to the
nation moments before. There was no temper tantrum. We saw it. We heard it.
NBC
News Reports Armed Intruder as an 'Unwanted House Visitor'. NBC News now reports armed home intruders who are
known to the homeowners are unwanted house visitors. One of these unwanted visitors was shot and killed by a New
Jersey man with his own gun. The two men did know each other but that doesn't change the fact that one came brandishing
a gun. The owner of the home had to fight this unwanted house visitor off and he fought for his life, according
to reports. The intruder allegedly arrived at the residence brandishing a semi-automatic handgun and a fight erupted
with the man who lives at the home.
Pelosi
and Schumer dismiss Trump's 'manufactured crisis' on border security. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Tuesday dismissed President Trump's Oval Office address on border security as an effort
to "stoke fear" among Americans and accused him of playing up a "manufactured crisis." "Most presidents have used Oval
Office addresses for noble purposes, said Schumer, in a televised rebuttal to Trump. This president just used the
backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear, and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration."
The Editor says...
It should not be necessary to point out that the President did not manufacture a crisis, nor was it apparently his intention
to induce fear in his audience, nor was he apparently the least bit concerned about the background noise that Democrats call,
"the turmoil in his administration."
Levin:
Schumer and Pelosi are 'pathological liars,' 'never forced to explain their flip-flop' on the wall. LevinTV
host Mark Levin blasted Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi as "pathological liars" Tuesday night [1/8/2019] on "Hannity,"
reacting to President Trump's Oval Office address on border security and the Democratic response. Levin said Trump's
speech was "outstanding" and hammered the Democrats for their duplicitous flip-flop on support for physical barriers on the
southern border. "First of all, the president gave an outstanding speech. It was concise. It was
compassionate — and truly compassionate. He provided the context, both in terms of what's going on in the
border, the expense, which is de minimis, and who is really responsible. Now, let's keep a few things in mind when
you watch Schumer and Pelosi: They are pathological liars. They've been in Congress over half a century. What
[...] have they done about the border? Nothing. [...]"
Mark
Levin: Pelosi and Schumer Are 'Pathological Liars'. Commenting on President Donald Trump's address to the
nation about border security and the response of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.),
conservative talk radio host and best selling author Mark Levin said the two Democrats are "pathological liars" who have been
in Congress half-a-century and yet have done "nothing" about the border. Levin, who worked in the Reagan Justice
Department, added that neither Pelosi nor Schumer talked about the low-skilled American worker who is harmed by illegal alien
labor — aided and abetted by multi-national corporations — and didn't talk about the "communities on
the border that are suffering."
FYI:
POTUS Trump National Emergencies Declared = 0. Barack Obama National Emergencies Declared = 12. How odd to see
the socialist media in such a tizzy over the idea of President Trump declaring a national emergency at the southern border
that would require, at least in part, a border wall to solve. "He can't declare a national emergency!" they cry.
"That would be an abuse of power!" they declare. "Unprecedented!" they wail. And yet, when Barack Obama did that very
thing not once but 12 times, (most often of which allowed the U.S. government to seize property) there was nary a word of
complaint from this same far left media. Quite the opposite. They defended it.
Fusion
GPS-linked group worked with tech company tied to Russian 'false flag' operation in Alabama. A nonprofit group
linked to Fusion GPS and partially funded by George Soros worked in recent months with a technology company implicated in a
scheme to use fake Russian bots during Alabama's special Senate election. The groups, the Democracy Integrity Project
(TDIP) and New Knowledge, partnered before the 2018 midterms to track alleged Russian disinformation networks, a website the
organizations collaboratively run shows. Both organizations have links to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
(SSCI), which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as well as possible Trump campaign collusion.
The
Left Orchestrated a Social-media Smear Campaign to Defeat Roy Moore. Radical leftists disguised themselves as
kooky Baptists and ran a social-media smear campaign against GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, who lost a close race in Alabama
to Democrat Doug Jones in 2017. The goal, the New York Times reported today, was to falsely suggest Moore would ban
alcohol in the Yellowhammer State, and drive moderate Republicans into the arms of the pro-abortion liberal Democrat.
In December, the Times uncovered a similar operation unknowingly funded by LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman. The
upshot is, leftists adopted the very tactics they accused Russians of using to help elect Donald Trump.
Roy
Moore was reportedly targeted by Dems in second 'false flag' operation in 2017 Alabama race. A New York Times
story revealed Monday [1/7/2019] that Democrats created a Facebook page that gave the false impression that it was the work
of Baptist teetotalers supporting Moore in the contest. That Dry Alabama Facebook page — which called for
outlawing alcohol in the state — intended to alienate pro-business, moderate Republicans from Moore, the paper
reported. Democrats reportedly saw an opportunity to win that race after Moore was hit with allegations of past
inappropriate sexual conduct with teenage girls. Jones went on to win the race. It's the second report in recent
weeks of a stealth social media effort by pro-Jones activists.
The
Importance of Getting History Right. As an amateur historian, I cringe at the outright lies being fed to the
public, some of it by people who know they are lying. Others do it unaware. Unless these lies are addressed,
political solutions to many of the world's problems will prove impossible.
The
Democrats' Biggest Expert Accusing Republicans of Russian Trolling Was a Russian Troll. When the Democrats and
the media wanted to prove that Russian trolls were everywhere, and supporting Republicans, they turned to Jonathon Morgan and
Renee DiResta. Morgan and DiResta had originally been part of Obama's futile effort to fight ISIS on social media,
before discovering a much more lucrative field. ISIS was losing on the battlefield and the Democrats were losing
elections. The Hillary campaign had hatched a conspiracy theory blaming its loss on Russian trolls. And Morgan
and DiResta soon became the experts providing the data linking Republicans to Russian trolls. Every time there was a
story on Russian election interference, Morgan would show up on CNN or NBC. And his message was the same, the Russian
bots were everywhere and they were a major threat.
Democrats:
A plague on the nation. It should be obvious to every American by now that our progressive left does not have the
best interest of Americans at heart. Quite the opposite. They loathe those of us who put Trump in the White House and
are determined to punish us. They intend to raise our taxes to pay for the $100 [billion] illegal aliens cost us every
year. They need open borders to import future voters; millions of illegals voted in the 2018 election thanks to motor voter
bills and states' refusal to require voter ID. The Democrats know they cannot win without cheating. They cheated in
2016 and are still stunned that their carefully calculated strategy did not work — thus, the cover-up, AKA the Mueller
investigation, of their many crimes committed over the Obama years, many at the direction of Hillary Clinton with Obama's knowledge
and approval. Our once most revered institutions, the DOJ, the FBI, and the CIA, have been thoroughly corrupted.
Mueller, a willing participant in that corruption, is up to his eyeballs in the cover-up.
Wikipedia: Rotten
to the Core. The first major pay-to-play Wikipedia scandal dates back to February 2006, when it was discovered
that US Congressional staff were scrubbing the biographies of their politicians — removing broken campaign promises,
scandals, and other undesirable details and adding "glowing" tributes and favorable information. At the same time,
negative information was appended to the biographies of their opponents. Some ambitious staffers were replacing their
candidates' biographies wholesale with staff-authored versions. Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Norm Coleman, Conrad Burns,
and Tom Harkin were named in early reports, later joined by Mike Pence, Gus Gutknecht, and David Davis. Wikipedia
responded initially by banning Congressional IP addresses and later by creating a Twitter feed to document Wikipedia edits
made by congressional staffers.
With
identical tweets, Schumer and Pelosi reveal themselves as mouthpieces for the same propaganda puppet master. I
have long wondered about who writes the talking points that keep Democrats reading from the same script. That
person — or more likely, persons — evidently issues instructions that the office holder branch and the
journalist branch of the Democratic Party mimic in their public statements. But in order to appear slightly authentic,
they are supposed to speak extemporaneously and make it appear that they all came up with the phrases-of-the-day
spontaneously. This works for interviews with print and television journalists, but the rise of Twitter has introduced
new danger of exposure. Now we have proof that the current ostensible leaders of the Democrats' party are often just
actors reading from scripts supplied to them by people hidden from public scrutiny. Christmas Eve saw the presumptive
new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi issue a tweet that was identical, word-for-word, to one issued 23 minutes earlier
by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Who
Plagiarized Whom? Pelosi, Schumer Both Send Out Exact Same Tweet. Whenever there's a congressional
hearing on nearly any subject, Democratic leaders fire out a list of talking points to the party's lawmakers. That
leads to highly repetitive — and exhausting — speeches from Democrats, all of which sound almost
exactly alike. Take the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh by President Trump. Even before he was named,
leftists and liberals everywhere had already written their press releases, accusing the nominee — it didn't matter
who it was — of hating women and minorities, immigrants and gays.
Democrats
Used 'Similarly Deceptive Tactics' In Alabama Senate Race As Russians Used In 2016 Election, NYT Reports. A new
bombshell report released on Wednesday night alleges that Democrats used "similarly deceptive tactics" in the Alabama Senate
race last year as Russia used in the 2016 elections. "The secret project, carried out on Facebook and Twitter, was
likely too small to have a significant effect on the race, in which the Democratic candidate it was designed to help, Doug
Jones, edged out the Republican, Roy S. Moore," The New York Times reported.
Trump's not used
to liars. Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas revealed why President Trump is not doing well in
Washington. Donald John Trump is not used to dealing with liars. Gohmert told WMAL, a radio station in
Washington, "He wants to work with people over here on the Hill, and he's just not used to, in the private sector, having
people that are reputedly on his side conspiring to keep him from getting what he promised, and that's what we've seen."
One
Year Later, The Left's Net Neutrality Lies Look Even Dumber. For those who don't pay particularly close
attention to politics — those on the Left lie. A lot. They lie about Donald Trump-Russia collusion.
They lie about their Russia collusion. They lie about green energy being green and energy — it's neither.
They lie about government-run health insurance. They lie about government-run medicine. They lie about tax cuts.
They lie about tax increases. [...] You want yet another panoply of spectacularly ridiculous Leftist lying?
Behold — the Internet.
Snopes
Rates Liberal Meme 'True' After Former Hillary Staffer Deletes Photo and Admits It's Inaccurate. The Facebook
and Google approved fact-checking service Snopes has once again made a serious error when weighing the factuality of a recent
popular meme, claiming the "general idea" of the meme was "correct," despite it having been debunked. A new meme has
been making the rounds across social media recently, featuring a photo of President Donald Trump alongside a group of
Republican lawmakers and other members of his administration. The photo was taken following the House's vote to repeal
Obamacare in 2017, and in the meme, a red X has been placed over the faces of 33 individuals. The caption of the
photo reads: "Everyone with an X has since been voted out of Congress."
Surprise!
Ilhan Omar lied to Jewish voters in her district. Newly elected Representative Ilhan Omar, the Somali-heritage
Muslim from Minneapolis who replaces Keith Ellison, has already reversed her position on the BDS (Boyott, Divest, Sanction)
Movement that seeks to delegitimize Israel now that she is safely elected. Since she has cited no reasons for changing
her mind, she must have been lying.
After Losing,
Dem Politicians Now Say They Can Be Truthful. Losing Democratic politicians say they can finally tell the truth
now that they are "freed from the constraints" of needing the support of their constituents. "It occurred to me that I
am now freed from the constraints of running for or holding public office," said Richard Cordray, failed coup-leader and
losing candidate in the Ohio governor's race. Cordray says now that he does not have to be accountable to voters, he
can "speak more naturally" about what he really thinks about issues.
Obama
Campaigns with Fake Nurse in Final Chicago Rally. Democrats call Congressional candidate Lauren Underwood the
"Naperville nurse running for Congress." Good Morning America ran a segment on 'Nurse Lauren" and is promoting Lauren
Underwood for Congress in Illinois' 14th district. GMA is also promoting 'Nurse Underwood' on their Facebook page in a
video. There's just one problem. Lauren is not a registered nurse in Illinois or any state. She has never
worked a day as a nurse in her life.
Ever
notice how Leftists always accuse you of being what they really are? Not a day goes by where the media and many
Democrats don't slander Trump, Christians, Republicans, Conservatives, and even white men as "Nazis" and "Hitler." Even
worse, those on the Far Left who increasingly describe themselves as 'Democrat Socialists,' ignore the fact that the word
NAZI stands for National "Socialist" German Workers Party — whose socialist policies were virtually identical to
those of Bernie Sanders' followers today.
The
Left's Response To The Mass Shooting Of Jews Is An Act Of Bad Faith. It was ironic to see many of the same
liberals, who recently fought to prop up the world's most powerful Jew-hating terror state, lecturing us on the importance of
combating anti-Semitism. But there they were yesterday [10/27/2018]. The same Voxers who had long rationalized,
romanticized, and excused the Jew-killing terror organization of the Middle East were now blaming the existence of the evil,
anti-Semitic Pittsburgh shooter on Republicans. The same Pod bros whose echo chamber deployed anti-Semitic dual-loyalty
tropes to smear critics of the Iran deal were now incredibly concerned about the Jewish community.
Trump The Dictator?
Far-left billionaire Tom Steyer is one of the world's most notorious hypocrites. These days, he is devoting many
millions to the cause of impeaching President Trump. In advance of the midterms, he is flooding Facebook with anti-Trump
ads, including this one, "A Modern Dictator's Playbook." Steyer's video says that Trump is well on the way to being a
dictator like Saddam Hussein (because he feeds enemies into wood chippers?), Hugo Chavez (this one is funny, since Chavez was
idolized by the American left), Vladimir Putin (Trump is exactly like Putin, because Putin murders journalists while Trump
criticizes them), Recep Erdogan (per Barack Obama, one of his favorite foreign leaders) and Kim Jong-un (hard to tell what
the analogy is here). A sane person would say that in order to be a dictator, you have to... dictate. In the
American context, this presumably would mean issuing unconstitutional executive orders. But that is what Barack
Obama did, not Donald Trump.
Democrats
Blaming Normal Americans for Nuts Will Blow Up In Their Faces at the Ballot Box. You know, there's nothing that
Normal Americans can identify with more than a guy living in a Ford panel van covered with Trump memes and soccer manifestoes
who sends bombs that don't work to Democrats who support policies that don't work. Likewise, Normal people totally
identify with — let me get the liberal narrative du jour right here — a Trump-hating freak who shoots
up a synagogue. And I think it's a terrific midterm strategy for our Democrat friends is to keep making that idiotic case.
Senate
hopeful Jacky Rosen of Nevada slams Pelosi in English ads, attacks Trump in Spanish. U.S. Senate hopeful Jacky
Rosen, a Nevada Democrat, is looking to have it both ways — slamming House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in
English-language campaign ads while taking shots at President Trump in Spanish. The Democrat's political ads in English
tout her bipartisan record in the House and portray her as a check on Pelosi, despite her voting with the top House Democrat
89 percent of the time in the 115th Congress. "Jacky Rosen wrote legislation to improve veterans' health care, and
President Trump signed it into law," a man in Rosen's English ad says. "Rosen stood up to Nancy Pelosi to reform the VA."
Castro
slammed for 'slanderous' lie after suggesting Kushner may have orchestrated Khashoggi murder. The White House
on Friday slammed Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, after he claimed that President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, may
have orchestrated the brutal killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi — a claim he walked back later. The rep
told CNN that the Trump adviser and "U.S. intelligence" could have passed around a so-called "enemies list" that was viewed
by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Poppy Harlow, the anchor, challenged Castro, saying the network had
no knowledge of the "reporting" he cited. But he responded that he's seen "reporting to that effect."
Why are faceless accusations
allowed to end men's careers? On 11 October 2017 an anonymous Google spreadsheet began doing the rounds of
American newspapers and magazines — a document that would have far-reaching consequences for Stephen Elliott, a
Los Angeles-based writer and editor. [...] [T]he spreadsheet had been created by Moira Donegan, a former assistant
editor at the New Republic, and named various men rumoured to be guilty of sexual misconduct. Donegan closed
it down a few days later, but by that time it had been widely circulated and many names had been added, alongside a summary
of their alleged crimes. The entry for Elliott read: 'Rape accusations, sexual harassment, coercion, unsolicited
invitations to his apartment, a dude who snuck into Binders???' (Binders is a Facebook group for women writers.)
The spreadsheet contained a disclaimer: 'This document is only a collection of allegations and rumours. Take
everything with a grain of salt.' Needless to say, that was largely ignored. Numerous articles appeared
celebrating the list as a much-needed 'reckoning', with not many people pausing to consider whether the men on the list
were guilty. Elliott had a collection of essays to promote, but interviews were pulled, readings cancelled and his
book tour fizzled out. His television agent stopped returning his calls and some friends began to distance
themselves. He found himself at the centre of a Kafka-esque nightmare.
Beto
O'Rourke's 'lifelong Republican' mother votes in Democratic primaries, donated to Obama. Rep. Beto
O'Rourke often touts his mother in speeches and interviews as a lifelong Republican, who now supports his effort to unseat
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Not really. According to a CNN report Tuesday, Melissa O'Rourke is a
frequent voter in Democratic primaries who donated to Barack Obama before he became president. "Melissa O'Rourke has
largely voted in Democratic primaries in Texas since 2000, and she has donated money to candidates from both parties.
She donated to Cruz and Republican Mitt Romney in 2012, but she also previously donated to the presidential campaign of
then-Democratic Sen. Barack Obama in 2007," CNN reported.
The
Character Assassination of Brett Kavanaugh by the Cowardly Senate Democrats. In 1987, when Robert Bork met with
Senator Edward Kennedy on the eve of his nomination as a justice of the Supreme Court, it was an awkward visit. Kennedy
said his response would not be personal. He said that several times. Instead he gave a speech that brutally and
dishonestly caricatured Bork's judicial philosophy. It became infamous for capturing the thrust of the Democrat-controlled
Senate Judiciary Committee's treatment of Bork, a practice known to this day as "borking." [...] Bork was denied confirmation,
58-42. And for decades, his treatment stood as the most unfair and hostile thing that could happen to a High Court
nominee. It was ideological assassination. Now there is worse — the character assassination of
Brett Kavanaugh.
O'Keefe
Strikes Again Video Captures TN Dem Phil Bredesen in Classic 'Bait and Switch'. A new undercover video from
Project Veritas Action features staff from Democrat Phil Bredesen's U.S. Senate campaign admitting that he has been decieving
voters and attempting to appear more moderate than he actually is. Bredesen, who was recently endorsed by Taylor Swift,
has infamously claimed that he would have voted to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh — but his campaign says it is
just a vote grab.
Staffers
for TN Senate Candidate Phil Bredesen Caught on Tape Admitting He Lied About Supporting Kavanaugh. Campaign staffers for
Tennessee Democrat Senate nominee Phil Bredesen were caught on tape admitting that the supposedly moderate candidate was lying through
his teeth when he said last Friday that he would have voted to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The staffers,
surreptitiously recorded by Project Veritas in a video released Wednesday night [10/10/2018], said Bredesen lied to hoodwink moderate
Republicans into voting for him. Most polling shows Bredesen behind in a race against conservative Tennessee congresswoman Marsha
Blackburn. Prompted by a female Project Veritas journalist, Bredesen field organizers Maria Amalla and Will Stewart said that
Bredesen was intentionally lying for votes.
Christine
Ford: A Singular Fraud. For what a singular fraud is Christine Ford. To begin with, as Thomas
Lipscomb has shown, she probably lied about the actual purpose of the second front door. And though she is not a
licensed psychologist, Ford tried to use her "psychological expertise" to make people think her memory is infallible. [...]
As one might expect, Ford's "scholarship" attests to her interest and background in junk science. In May of 2008, the
Journal of Clinical Psychology published "Meditation With Yoga, Group Therapy With Hypnosis, and Psychoeducation for
Long-Term Depressed Mood: A Randomized Pilot Trial," co-authored by Ford and a number of academics. The paper
discusses how to use "therapeutic techniques," including hypnosis, to alleviate depression, to "assist in the retrieval of
important memories," and to "create artificial situations" that will aid "treatment." Ford et al. cite Herbert Spiegel's
and David Spiegel's 2004 book, Trance and Treatment. Say the authors: "All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis," so
"therapists are only tapping into their patients' natural ability to enter trance state." But alas, "patients are highly
suggestible and easily subject to memory contamination."
The Left's
Dark Turn. There had been cases of the left punishing the innocent before [Clarence] Thomas, and many since,
but the Thomas case was arguably the first in which the combined forces of the left knowingly defamed an innocent man on the
main stage. Although progressives have all but criminalized the skewering of their many sacred cows — Islam,
climate change, illegal aliens, LGBT, the poor — no cows in their pantheon are as sacred as race and sex.
They hit Thomas on sex.
How
we knew they were Fake Republican women. Megan Fox at PJ Media noticed something at one of the continuing
protests in DC over something or other. Fox wrote, "Right on cue, the Democrats and their accomplices in the media are
trotting out their latest narrative, using women claiming to be Republicans who say that after this Kavanaugh fiasco, they
will never vote Republican again! This would be more believable if they found some women who don't look like
caricatures of Democrat women."
The
Three Lies of Christine Blasey Ford. [Scroll down] She is not a sympathetic figure. She is not a
confused, traumatized victim attempting to grapple with the fragmented memories of a past incident. The record clearly
reveals that this to be nonsense. She is a malicious liar who has put herself at the service of malignant political
clique for the purpose of undercutting the stated will and intentions of the people of this country. It is a simple
fact that Kavanaugh's accusers on the committee are proven liars — Feinstein in withholding the letter in the
first place (not to mention denying how it became public), Booker concerning his good friend T-Bone, along with his
"Spartacus moment", Blumenthal concerning his heroism in Vietnam. The stunning irony here is that Judge Kavanaugh is
demonstrably more honest than any of his accusers. This is the central truth of the Kavanaugh case. It must be
hammered relentlessly, to the point where it can no longer be evaded. It must be repeated every time we're told that
"women don't lie". Every time someone flaunts a t-shirt reading "I Believe Her". Every time we hear another
obtuse blurt from Pelosi or Hirono.
Healthy
Shame Woefully Absent in Washington, DC. During the Kavanaugh hearings last week, Senator Blumenthal invoked a
legal concept, "falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus." Translated, this means "false in one thing, false in everything" —
that a witness who is untruthful in one portion of his testimony is not credible in any matter. The one falsehood disqualifies
any further assertions, regardless of the veracity of any further testimony. Senator Blumenthal, forgetful of his previous Vietnam
falsehood, stepped in it bigly, actually impugning himself during his remarks. Trying to impugn Judge Kavanaugh, he actually
disqualified himself from rendering judgment on virtually anything. False in one thing — his Vietnam
service — false in everything — his arguments against the Kavanaugh confirmation. This was the same
Senator Blumenthal who, like most of the Hollywood hyenas, was convinced that Kavanaugh's accuser, Dr. Ford, was credible
before ever meeting her or hearing a word she had to say. Will the media notice this? No way.
The
Kavanaugh Allegations Are Psychological Terrorism. The left's smear tactics have come on full display during
the surfeit of attacks on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Whether you support or oppose this SCOTUS nomination,
the tactics being used are more extreme even than during the Clarence Thomas hearings. But as we know, they are nothing
new, and Democrats will continue to use them until the American people scream "Enough!" — because they are
effective. The real goal is psychological terrorism — that is, engaging in a scorched-earth effort to
destroy the target, and in so doing intimidating anyone willing to enter public service, or even just support a public figure
that does not parrot the politically correct line. The charges do not need to be true, or even credible. People
do not recoil because of the charges themselves (although, as we see, the left spares no effort to dream up the worst accusations
they can think of). People recoil out of fear. This tactic relies on the human herding instinct. People naturally
shy away from anyone so vilified, whether the charges are credible or not, simply out of fear of being smeared with the same
brush. They don't want to be ostracized by the group. Such excommunication has real consequences on reputations,
jobs, relationships, even survival.
'Why
Would Accusers Lie?' Is the Wrong Question. Or, more precisely: It is the wrong question if what we desire to do
is to get as near as we can to the truth of the matter at hand. It is an excellent question if your desire is something else,
especially misdirection. "Why would she lie?" is a question that obliges us to engage in mind-reading and redirects us from
answerable questions to unanswerable ones. [...] It's silly and sophomoric — which, unfortunately, means that it is likely to be
effective in our current political environment, which is dominated by hysteria, dishonesty, and stupidity. "Why?" is a question
that is not easily addressed by indisputable evidence. "Did she lie?" is a different kind of question.
Throwing stones while living in a glass house: Kavanaugh
clash reopens stolen valor allegations against Sen. Blumenthal. At last week's fiery hearing probing
sexual assault allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal lectured the Supreme Court
nominee on the implications of telling even a single lie. "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus," Blumenthal, D-Conn., told
Kavanaugh, reciting a Latin phrase. "It means 'False in one thing, false in everything.'" But Blumenthal's own
difficult history with the truth is coming back to haunt him amid the Kavanaugh fight, with President Trump and Republican
senators slamming him for inflating his military service during the Vietnam War. In the 2000s, when Blumenthal served
as Connecticut's attorney general, he began to claim that he served in the Vietnam War. Blumenthal, repeatedly, has
touted his experience during the war.
Beto
O'Rourke's deported Panhandle honor student wasn't actually deported. It was a powerful anecdote. At the
first Senate debate, Rep. Beto O'Rourke illustrated the plight of "Dreamers" by talking about the salutatorian at tiny
Booker High School in the Texas Panhandle, recently deported to his country of origin, not even speaking the language.
The congressman had embellished what he'd been told on a visit to Booker 14 months ago. And even that version, it
turns out, got key facts wrong. The honor student in question was actually the valedictorian.
Judge
Kavanaugh Is the Victim of a Great Crime. [Scroll down] Out of the blue, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee
accuses him of having committed sexual assault when he was young. There are no details because the senator was keeping the charges
secret — just the accusation. There can be no corroboration because he knows he is innocent. He is disoriented, bewildered.
How can he defend himself about a crime, an unknown crime at that, he never committed. But, worse is to come. In a blaze of publicity
the specifics of the unsavory accusation were made public. The judge is now subject to far worse ridicule and vilification. He is
angry now. Angry as he, in his innocence, properly should be. His now visible anger is mocked as being unmanly. Nothing
he can say or do will moderate the vile abuse he is taking. All who know the truth come to his defense. But this only subjects
his defenders to the same abuse that the judge is taking.
Ex-Boyfriend
of Christine Blasey Ford Claims She Told a Falsehood About a Polygraph Test. Senate Republicans, through less
brash methods than the president's, have ramped up their effort to discredit Christine Blasey Ford with a sworn statement
from a man professing to be Ford's former boyfriend and contradicting answers she gave before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In the statement obtained by Fox News on Tuesday [10/2/2018], the ex-boyfriend claims Ford had helped her close friend prepare for
a polygraph test, despite Ford's statement to the Judiciary Committee that she had never "given tips or advice" to anyone preparing
to take a polygraph test. The redacted statement by the ex-boyfriend, who has remained anonymous, also claims that Ford had not,
in the six years the two dated, expressed a fear of flying or of "closed quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit."
New
Evidence Eliminates Christine Blasey Ford's Residual Credibility. Breitbart News has already gone into great
detail to lay out the facts that unravel the allegations Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez made against Supreme Court
nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Since these individual reports, Ford's story has continued to crumble. Real Clear
Politics has looked at the records surrounding Ford's claim that an extensive 2012 remodel of her home involving two front
doors triggered her memory of Kavanaugh's alleged 1982 assault attempt. Documents, however, show that the remodel took
place in 2008 and that the second front door was not an odd request from a traumatized woman fearing she could not escape,
but someone looking to make extra income renting out part of her home — possibly in violation of local zoning laws.
Peripheral
Thoughts on the Impending Confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh. Initially, at the Judiciary Committee hearing, Christine Blasey
Ford presented publicly as a credible witness, describing a horrific event that happened earlier in her life, nearly four decades ago.
She spoke in a voice and demeanor that was compelling. Although she did not persuade that she was identifying the correct attacker,
her basic account of an attack came across as highly credible. However, it now emerges that several other segments of her testimony — sworn
and spoken the same day at the same hearing in the same voice with the same credibility — were lies. We now know that it is a lie that
she has psychological difficulty flying in airplanes. Rather, we now know that she has flown all over for years and years, not merely
compelled by the exigencies of business or family obligation but for fun and leisure. We now know that it is a lie that she is so
claustrophobic that she cannot live in a small place. Rather, she rented a home of 500 square feet. We now know that it is a lie
that she put two front doors into her home remodel because of claustrophobia derived from the attack to which she testified. Rather,
she was renting out part of her property, and that necessitated a separate ingress-egress for the renter.
Susan
Collins is a 'rape apologist,' Women's March claims following Kavanaugh support announcement. GOP Sen. Susan
Collins on Friday [10/5/2018] was dubbed a "rape apologist" by a women's activist group amid her decision to support the confirmation
of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The Women's March posted a photo of the Maine lawmaker on Twitter with the caption,
"This is who @SenatorCollins is" and the words "rape apologist" in a red box across her face. The post also plugged a website
to "cancel Kavanaugh."
The
SPLC: A Massive, Multi-Million-Dollar Character Assassination Machine. As Brett Kavanaugh defended himself on
Thursday against scurrilous and unsubstantiated allegations brought forward by the Democrats, who have now richly earned the
sobriquet "the Evil Party," David Horowitz tweeted: "The left lives by character assassination — Bork, Thomas, Kavanaugh."
Yes, it does, and this doesn't manifest itself solely in Supreme Court nominee hearings. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC),
the establishment media's principal source for determining who is acceptable in the public square and who isn't, is a well-heeled,
unscrupulous character assassination machine, destroying lives and reputations with impunity for years now. The SPLC has for
years defamed me as a "hate group leader" and an "anti-Muslim extremist." These are not mere words. Tyler O'Neil reported
in PJ Media last September that former SPLC spokesman Mark Potok declared: "Sometimes the press will describe us as monitoring
hate groups, I want to say plainly that our aim in life is to destroy these groups, completely destroy them."
Gillibrand:
I Never Meant Abolish ICE When I Said 'Abolish ICE'. Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) said her
past comments about eliminating Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been taken out of context. She suggested
commentators misconstrued her words by not focusing on her call to replace ICE with a reformed agency. "Give it a new
name and a new directive," the New York senator told the editorial board of The Post-Star in an effort to clarify her
view. In June, Gillibrand told CNN's Chris Cuomo she does not think ICE is working as intended. "I believe that
it has become a deportation force, and I think you should separate out the criminal justice from the immigration issues, and
I think you should reimagine ICE under a new agency with a very different mission, and take those two missions out."
Democrats
Pull the Sleaziest Smear in Their Long History of Sleazy Smears. As someone remarked on Twitter, Democrats are
now trying to turn Judge Brett Kavanaugh into Roy Moore, and it's disgusting. It's also predictable and, in fact,
was predicted in a prescient email that "a very smart conservative" lawyer sent to Weekly Standard writer John
McCormack. On Sept. 5 — eight days before Sen. Dianne Feinstein pulled this stunt — the
lawyer warned that Democrats would drop a "grenade" after the Senate confirmation hearings, a repeat of the tactic they used
with Anita Hill's smear of Clarence Thomas. This actually surprised me. After the four-day Soros-funded protest
carnival of the hearings, I expected the Kavanaugh nomination to proceed rapidly to a Senate vote. Like, OK, Democrats
put on their little TV show and now we're done, right? Certainly I could not believe that such a sober clean-cut,
Catholic judge, who has served a dozen years on the bench, would be made the target of this cheap smear.
Trump
Denies That The Death Toll From Hurricane Maria Was 3,000. Here's Where The Number Came From. On Thursday [9/13/2018],
President Trump leapt directly into the path of an oncoming public disaster, tearing into the official Puerto Rican government estimate
of the death toll from Hurricane Maria just before Hurricane Florence was scheduled to make landfall. [...] Now, there are serious
questions to be asked about whether the Trump administration's response to Maria was sufficient and whether malfeasance largely rested
with the local authorities. Those questions were exacerbated yesterday by footage of millions of bottles of water sitting on a
tarmac in Puerto Rico. But there's also no question that the original death count of 6 to 18 was extraordinarily low, and clearly
not accurate.
Democrats
Ploy Fails: Blacks Don't Believe This Liar. Omarosa is about as believable as the love story of Bill and
Hillary Clinton. [...] Interestingly, while Omarosa continues to make the rounds with media, her appearances renewed by the
NYT op ed, there isn't a lot of black support for her. One would think the NAACP would rally around Omarosa. But
they haven't[.]
Senator
Harris Gets Four Pinocchios for Kavanaugh Lie. The Washington Post finally caught up to The New
American today [9/11/2018] when its fact checker, Glenn Kessler, gave California leftist Senator Kamala Harris four
Pinocchios in a fact check that destroyed her lie about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The genesis of Harris'
lie was Kavanaugh's answer to a question from Senator Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican, who asked about Priests for Life
vs. United States Department of Health and Human Services during the judge's confirmation hearings last week.
Kavanaugh answered. Hysterics began. Kavanaugh had, the pro-abortion left averred, called birth control drugs
"abortion-inducing," which means he opposes contraception and is anti-woman.
Kamala
Harris Suggested Kavanaugh Spoke To Trump's Law Firm About Mueller. She Was Lying, Of Course. On
Wednesday [9/5/2018], Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) attempted to grab the 2020 Democratic presidential limelight by launching
into an attack on Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's latest pick for the Supreme Court. She essentially accused
Kavanaugh of stonewalling on whether he had spoken with President Trump's law firm about the Robert Mueller investigation.
Kavanaugh correctly said he didn't know what she was talking about, and also said he didn't know every lawyer at Kasowitz Benson
Torres — a law firm with nearly 300 attorneys. That didn't stop Harris, who grandstanded for nearly 10 minutes,
to the wild applause of the media. The video has been viewed tens of millions of times on Twitter.
Kamala
Harris' questioning of Brett Kavanaugh is a reminder of her vicious, rotten career in law enforcement.
Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris' interrogation this week of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh has won
her high praise from the anti-Trump resistance. For some on the Left, the Democratic senator's weird and ambiguous
questions about whether the nominee had discussed special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation with anyone employed
by the law firm founded by President Trump's personal attorney, constituted a "yas queen" moment. But I don't see the
California lawmaker's interaction with Kavanaugh as particularly praiseworthy. Just the opposite, actually.
Harris' duplicitous and misleading grilling of the nominee serves as a reminder that she has a long history of being a
sneaky, self-serving, anti-liberty law enforcement official.
Progressives Use
Edited Remarks To Attack Kavanaugh On Contraception. Senate Democrats and liberal interest groups opposed to
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are arguing the judge should not be confirmed in view of comments he made during his
confirmation hearing characterizing ordinary contraceptives as "abortion-inducing drugs." The full context of Kavanaugh's
remarks does not suggest that he views contraceptives as abortifacients, though some progressives used edited renditions of
his statement to create that impression.
Dem
Socialist Candidate's Brother and Mother Say She's Lied About Her Upbringing. The brother and mother of a New
York City democratic socialist candidate went on the record to dispute many of the biographical claims she has made
throughout the campaign. A Tablet profile last week first revealed that state Senate candidate Julia Salazar, a
progressive darling depicting herself as a Jewish immigrant, was actually born in the United States and ran several Christian
organizations in college. One of the sources negating Salazar's claims was her own brother Alex Salazar, who told
Tablet that they were both born in Miami and their father was not Jewish.
More
On Julia Salazar's Curiously Shifting Biography. What are people supposed to take from "I'm a Colombian-American"
if not that she is Colombian? Also, "I immigrated to this country" can't mean 'I was born here but traveled to Colombia
as a child.' It would be very easy to say, 'I was born in Miami,' but she doesn't say that. Salazar's explanation
for the various articles which have described her as Colombian is that someone on her staff was confused about her biography
and spoke to reporters on her behalf. But the Intercept, which did a profile of her, says Salazar herself told them
she was a Colombian immigrant.
Self-Described
Jewish 'Immigrant' Candidate, Democratic Socialist Was Born in U.S., Used to Lead Christian Group. A democratic
socialist candidate identifying publicly as a Jewish immigrant was actually born in Miami and was a devout Christian campus
leader until only a few years ago. Julia Salazar is a Democratic community activist running for New York State
Senate. Before running for office, she cut her teeth as a Jewish anti-Zionist, writing articles critical of Israel for
left-wing sites like Mondoweiss and serving as senior editor for a blog affiliated with the pro-BDS Jewish Voice for
Peace. According to a profile by Jewish magazine Forward, Salazar has "a unique Jewish background. She was
born in Colombia, and her father was Jewish, descended from the community expelled from medieval Spain. [...] But Tablet
reports that Salazar's brother told them in an interview both he and his sister were born in Miami, and their father was not Jewish.
Dealing with Democrats' Swarm
Tactics. The entire left-wing tactic is formulaic: • Make the accusations. That alone is often
enough to do the trick, even if the accusations are completely baseless — remember Harry Reid accusing Mitt Romney of not paying his
taxes. • Find someone to corroborate the accusations with verbal, unreliable, one-sided
statements. • Enlist the media to perseverate on whatever the accusations are to the point of blocking out
the real news and ignoring any information that might exonerate the accused. • Demand that the Republican targets
immediately resign and admit to their guilt. • Hype the mantra that this is part of the Republican culture of
corruption or Trump tyranny or far-right-wing hate or Alt-Right fascism and that is why constituents must vote for the Democrat.
Pelosi
'Pinocchioed' by Washington Post for Accusing McConnell of Racist Remark. Even the liberal newspaper, The
Washington Post, has called out House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for "twisting" a comment made by
a Republican in 2010 into an alleged racial slur. On Tuesday [8/14/2018], the Post published a fact-check article
titled, "Nancy Pelosi twists an old McConnell quote into a 'racist statement,' in which it gave Pelosi's comment its worst
rating of "four Pinocchios" (a "Whopper") for the following claims made Sunday on MSNBC: [...]
Where
Do We Get Such Losers? When Cory Booker moved to Newark, New Jersey, he had it all: multiple degrees from
Stanford, a Rhodes scholarship, a winning smile and a willingness to lie his keister off about a central feature of his
earlier campaigns. He also had an imaginary friend, T-Bone — a drug-dealing, streetwise guardian angel of
Cory Booker — as he tried to convince the people of Newark he was not just a little rich kid, he was one of them,
bursting with street cred. Booker trotted out the T-Bone stories at every early campaign stop in his races for
mayor: T-Bone told him this, T-Bone told him that. And of course, as brilliant as T-Bone was, he was still on
many occasions the recipient of Cory Booker's sage counsel. But T-Bone was never there. The Star Ledger
and National Review broke this story of delusion almost at the same time.
The
left's love affair with doublethink. In the novel [1984], the examples are plentiful: "War is peace."
"Freedom is slavery." "Ignorance is strength." But they are just as plentiful in real life: "Equality is racism"
(if you oppose special treatment for one race, you are guilty of a hate crime). "Truth is a lie" (political correctness run
amok forces people to say that which they know is untrue). "Hate is love" (attacking Trump supporters is necessary to make
them see the light). The most obvious example of this doublethink is the left's defense of abortion. Rather than
directly promoting abortion, they say they are protecting women's "reproductive rights." However, it turns out that
"reproductive rights" actually means the right NOT to reproduce, down to and including killing your own unique, never-to-be-"reproduced"-again
baby by sucking out its brains (partial-birth abortion). Sorry for that brutal example, but doublethink allows the most heinous
crimes against humanity — such as the United States being founded on the principle that "all men are created equal" and
then approving of slavery by declaring that enslaved people are less than human.
Leftists
Love the Memory Hole. Practically every major motif in Orwell's book [1984] reflects on the tendencies
of the left — in this country, on the Democrats and the bureaucratic state. Who strives to prosecute —
and persecute — thoughtcrime? The left — through its takeover of academe and condemnation of "hate
speech." Are snowflakes protected from "pro-choicers" and "gun control advocates"? No. Snowflakes are pro-aborts
and gun-grabbers. They insist on receiving protection from the opposing points of view. Leftists demand speech
codes — and seek to enforce them even against the president. Who practices Newspeak? The left. A
great example is the profusion of terms applying to sexuality. In how many venues are we compelled to accept such terms
as "trans woman," "gender identity," and "polyamorist"? How fiercely does the left seek to revise even the pronouns of the
English language? Can you say "xe"? If the left gets its way, you're going to have to learn. Talk about denying
the evidence of your senses! The ayatollahs of the leftist revisionism look at a crossdresser with a prominent Adam's apple
and five o'clock shadow and call him a girl. They demand that you call him a girl. And they demand that you let him
participate in girls' sports. I hate the word "Orwellian" — but, hey, that's Orwellian!
Hey Media, You Started It.
Every television show you watch, every movie, every woman's magazine, every comedian, and, yes, every news program tells you you [are bad].
If you believe your country should vet its immigrants, you're racist. If you voted for Donald Trump, you're racist. If you make a
joke about Barack Obama on Facebook, you're racist twice. If you think motherhood is a woman's highest calling, you're sexist.
If you take it ill when Islamists blow you up in the name of their nasty little god, you're Islamophobic. If you know that a man is a
man even if he says he's a woman, you're transphobic. If you think it's fair to debate whether homosexual actions are moral or not,
you're homophobic. Every day. From every outlet. All the time. And now people are angry.
Michael
Moore and His Ever-Changing Lies. Filmmaker Michael Moore is producing a new documentary. Fahrenheit 11/9,
which apparently is a clever reversal of the name of his previous film, is of course about President Trump. [...] But before he starts
attacking the president, Mr. Moore has some Fake News of his own I'd like him to address. I'm not talking about his opinions,
which are often objectionable but because they are opinions can't be proven as true or false. I want to address the outright
untruths contained in his autobiography "Here Comes Trouble."
Rob
Reiner: Fox, Breitbart 'Trafficking in Another Narrative' — We Might Be in 'Last Stage of a Civil War'.
Wednesday [8/1/2018], on "MSNBC Live with Katy Tur," actor and director Rob Reiner made the argument that Fox News and Breitbart News
Network are "trafficking in another narrative" that is different from outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York
Times working to get the truth out and that we "might be the last stage of a civil war." On the media, Reiner said, "I think
of it as two mainstream medias. You have the Washington Post, the New York Times, all the networks except for Fox,
working very hard to get the truth out."
The Editor says...
Yes, the WaPo and NYT appear to be "working very hard to get the truth out," but only in the sense
of working very hard to remove the truth from their products.
Democrats
Embracing Crazy Could Be A Gift To The GOP. Yes, 55 percent of Democrats actually believe the idea that Russia
changed votes to favor Trump, either "definitely" or "probably" happened. [...] For this to be true it would not only require
Trump and Putin to have conspired together, but for everyone investigating that alleged collusion to have been in on it as
well since everyone investigating it, from Congress to the Justice Department, has said no votes were changed. How
could so many people believe something so obviously false? It'd be easy to just say they're stupid; "dumb liberals" and
all that. But it's something worse. It's the media and the Democratic Party consciously giving people that
impression on purpose in an attempt to make their voters think Trump is an illegitimate president. When people who know
better, people in positions of trust and authority, say things like, "The Russians 'hacked' the election," there is no doubt
of their motive. These are people whose professional currency is words, this many of them this often saying something
deliberately misleading isn't by accident.
Democrats Spread
Fake News About Net Neutrality. A number of House Democrats spread false information about the Federal
Communications Commission's net neutrality policy. Democrats falsely claimed the policy ended Thursday [7/19/2018],
though the Obama administration policy was killed on June 11.
Boston
University's Fake-O-Nomics Darling. [Scroll down] But when the time came to put her BU economics
education to work, [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez flunked. On PBS last week, she asserted that "unemployment is low because
everyone has two jobs." Moreover, the erudite B.A. holder in economics posited, "unemployment is low because people are
working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their kids." [...] The unemployment rate, which stands at a historically
low 4 percent, is calculated by extrapolating and dividing the number of people out of work by the total number of individuals
in the American work force. If you have one job, two jobs, three jobs or more, you don't count as unemployed. Whether
you are working 40 hours or 80 hours or 120 hours a week, if you're working, that has no effect on the unemployment rate,
either. The number of workers moonlighting and the number of hours they moonlight have zero, zip and nada effect on the
unemployment rate. Ocasio-Cortez's claim that "everyone has two jobs" is more fake-o-nomics. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics reports that the number of Americans holding down multiple jobs is less than 5 percent and has been declining
for nearly 30 years.
Twitter
culls fake followers, Democrats hardest hit. Twitter announced it would be culling the platform's fake
followers. It makes good business sense to do this, because fake followers on an individual account distort the
influence ratings for advertisers, meaning that accounts full of fakes are a money-losing proposition for Twitter's real,
paying customers. If an account has fake followers, it looks more influential than it really is. Well, guess
what: there is an extraordinarily high number of Democrats, the kind who draw lots of media hype, with puffed up
"it" status, loaded with fake followers.
Media
attempts to make Ohio State abuse Jim Jordan's scandal fall flat. Why is it that none of the former Ohio State
University wrestlers are claiming to have told Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, they were "sexually abused," but the media keep
saying they did? And it's striking how "sexual abuse" is a phrase only used by news reports describing what happened at
the school, while none of the school's former wrestlers who were coached by Jordan are quoted recalling it that way at the
time. Rather than horrific accounts of being physically violated, most of the ex-wrestlers actually describe
remembering their experience with the creepy Dr. Richard Strauss as something more like fraternity hazing.
Have
Jordan Accusers Reported Abuse at Their Work Places? [Scroll down] Jim Jordan is a good man. He is
a very honorable man. If we are going to go back thirty years to start digging up bones and skeletons, looking to
destroy people who conducted themselves thoroughly properly for their time and place, though perhaps differently from what
today's standards would expect, let us take John Kennedy's name off the airport sign at Idlewild because he fooled around
with Judith Exner, if not Marilyn Monroe. Let us remove the name "Roosevelt" from the FDR Drive that runs up
Manhattan's east side because the man prevented refugees from Hitler from finding safety in this country, and he actually
just-plain hated Jews. Let us revisit Al Sharpton's role in instigating riots that led to death, and in advocating
deathly violence against police, and in expressing so much hate against gays and Asians — so get him out of the
public arena. Let us demand Kirsten Gillibrand's resignation for aiding, abetting, and eagerly associating with the
Clintons — long after we all knew that Bill would force himself on one woman, then another.
How Perkins
Coie Plan to Get Congressman Jim Jordan. Have you been keeping up with the charges against Congressman Jim
Jordan? They first wafted from the swamp around July 3 when NBC News quoted three former wrestlers as saying the
congressman had to know about "inappropriate" behavior by an Ohio State University team physician towards some Ohio State
wrestlers. The "inappropriate" behavior supposedly occurred 30 years ago. Yes, I said 30 years ago.
That was when Jordan, a former two-time NCAA champion, was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State, and, oh yes, he was in
his early 20s. Do you know how much standing an assistant coach had attained when he was in his early 20s some three
decades ago? It would have been about as much standing as a graduate assistant.
Maybe
the left should answer some questions instead of Kavanaugh. Greg Sargent of the Washington Post, Senator Chuck
Schumer, and others on the left are trying to trash President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, in as many ways
possible. One of their many lines of attack is that Trump knows that Kavanaugh will let Trump off on any potential
legal problems, presumably from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The first question that Sargent, Schumer, and other
leftists of this state of mind should be asked is which law Trump broke. What's more, how would some garden-variety
stealing-or-lying charge, whatever it is, somehow make it to the Supreme Court? More to the point, how would that cause
any Supreme Court justice to let him off?
Two
Key Pro-Democratic Groups Push False Claims About Amy Barrett. As The Daily Wire reported on Monday [7/2/2018],
the Democratic Party has chosen to make war on Judge Amy Barrett, who is being considered by President Trump to fill the
vacancy left by the imminent retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Now groups that are connected to the
Democratic Party have taken to making false claims about Barrett.
Vaunted
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is damaged goods now. Voters hate phoniness. And, well, the Democrats' new
golden girl, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now embodies it, with revelations that "Sandy from the block," "the tough girl from
the Bronx," isn't quite what she said she was. [...] And though she is likely to win in her Democrat-heavy district, the
bloom is off. It's likely that the charges of phoniness will follow her wherever she goes, just as Elizabeth Warren's
bid to game the Harvard system by comically claiming to be an American Indian is something that tags after her like a bad smell.
Why
This Immigration Psychodrama Will Also Pass. We've already been through the dizzying odyssey of legal suits in
three states over supposedly fraudulent voting machines, the nullification of the Electoral College effort, the meltdown on
Inauguration Day, the Emoluments Clause tizzy, the 25th Amendment con, the various Russian collusion hysterias, the leaked
phone call to the Australian prime minister, the Michael Wolff Fire and Furyfantasies, the Dudley Do-Right James Comey
pre-indictment book tour, and all the surreal assassination chic stories, from Kathy Griffin's beheading photo to the
Shakespearean troupe's ritual stabbing of Trump. One day the president is supposedly going to blow up the world by
calling Kim Jong-un "little rocket man," and the next he is a partner in genocide for not blowing up the world but
reaching out to Kim.
Five
Reasons for Conservatives to Boycott Netflix. [Reason #2] Susan Rice on the board of directors.
What does she bring to the table other than her ability to tell brazen whoppers designed to cover up political
incompetence and malfeasance? Rice, who was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former president Barack
Obama's national security adviser, is infamous for making politically convenient but provably false comments to the
press. In the wake of the September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya, for instance,
she appeared on five Sunday talk shows and characterized it as a "spontaneous demonstration" that got out of hand.
The administration already had intelligence indicating that it was a pre-planned terrorist attack. Also, in
June 2014, she declared preposterously on national television that Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl had served in the Army
with "honor and distinction."

Newly released documents show Doug Band served as a liaison for Clinton Foundation donors looking for favors and official

donors. If they needed anything from Hillary Clinton, they would email Doug Band and within minutes he would forward
the message to Huma Abedin and or Cheryl Mills to help expedite the favor.
Lying
Liar James Clapper Just Lied Again About His Previous Lies About NSA Spying. In an interview with the ladies of
"The View" Tuesday afternoon, James Clapper told another lie about his previous lies about the NSA program to spy on American
citizens. Meghan McCain confronted Clapper about a statement he made while testifying before Congress five years ago,
when he was asked whether or not the NSA was spying on Americans. "In 2013 when you were asked about it, you said
'no,'" McCain said. "So that is a lie." "I made a mistake," Clapper said. "I didn't lie. I was
thinking about something else, another program."
Nazis And
Socialists Are The Same Bunch Of Idiots. The notion that Nazism was a "right-wing" ideology has been
perpetuated by recent generations and is profoundly incorrect. The perverse rewriting of history obfuscates the true
causes and consequences of the Nazis. It also dishonors the millions lost to the Holocaust. Worse, this kind of
absolute ignorance of history is a sure path to repeating it. In fact, most Americans don't really understand who the
Nazis were. The Nazis were the National Socialist German Workers' Party. They were demonstrably
self-proclaimed socialists.
When
the Lie Becomes a Pillar of the State. The whole Soviet system was built on lies. As Alexander
Solzhenitsyn was later to write, "In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State."
An unceasing attempt to establish the Lie and to destroy the truth has been as characteristic of the Left here in America as
it was in Soviet Russia. The Lie has become systemic because a reductionist ideology based on lies has thoroughly
invaded the academia, the media, and the body politic. It has metastasized to the point that if it is not
eradicated — not just modified — the body will die. What is the chief characteristic of the great
Lie that grips so many of America's institutions? It is that human beings are on their own when it comes to the pursuit
of Truth. The issue has been the same since the creation of mankind. It is the belief in the sovereignty of the
individual as opposed to the sovereignty of God.
'Chappaquiddick'
is a long-overdue dismantling of the Kennedy myth. Nearly 50 years after Senator Ted Kennedy left a young woman
to die in a shallow pond — and America went on to reward him with a lifelong career in the US Senate —
we are finally beginning to reckon with the Kennedy myth. But only just. The new film "Chappaquiddick" is, to
date, the most brutal and honest account of what happened that night. But it's also something else: an indictment of
our collective hero worship at the altar of Brand Kennedy, which bred so much corrosive entitlement that surviving brother
Ted, the family beta male, went home to sleep it off after leaving a loyal young staffer to die alone.
Who Runs March
for Our Lives? Follow the money. It's a strange political fact, but nearly every major anti-gun group has
been a front group. [...] Everytown for Gun Safety was formed out of two other groups: Moms Demand Action and Mayors
Against Illegal Guns. Both are actually front groups for Michael Bloomberg, the lefty billionaire and former boss of
the Big Apple, who used New York City resources to host at least one of its websites. So Everytown is really New York
City. March for Our Lives is on every cable channel, but who runs it? The photogenic teen fronts are out
front. But it's obvious to everyone that a bunch of teens don't have the resources and skills to coordinate a
nationwide movement. Instead it's the experienced activists who are actually running things.
March
for Our Lives DC crowd smaller than organizers' estimates, imaging company says. Organizers of the March for
Our Lives demonstration in Washington, D.C. claimed Sunday that some 850,000 people attended the pro-gun control event, but
an imaging company said the turnout was much less. Virginia-based Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc., which uses
aerial photos to calculate crowd sizes, reported the event's peak crowd size was at 202,796 people around 1 p.m.,
CBS News reported. The firm said the number's margin of error is 15 percent.
A
User's Guide To Media Coverage Of Political Protests. [L]iberal protests are somehow not political. When
co-host Meghan McCain stated the facts on these marches on "The View" — a show that advocates passing gun control
legislation and sticking it to the National Rifle Association — Whoopi Goldberg was outraged. She said:
"Let's stick to what this particular march is today. ... It's not political." What will Whoopi claim next? That
"The View" isn't political either? The Women's March organizers of this walkout wanted to protest not just gun
violence but also racism, police brutality and how "the United States has exported gun violence through imperialist foreign
policy to destabilize other nations." That's superpolitical.
Weaponizing CPS in a Political
Race. In 2013 the American people learned just how wary we should be of government agencies meddling in our
lives: it weaponization of the IRS against conservative groups became public, and late last year, the agency finally
apologized for their actions. [...] Is there any government agency more terrifying than the IRS? Just one: Child
Protective Services (CPS), an agency in each state which has the ability to rip families apart and children out of the
home. In one local Texas House race in 2016, an even more despicable tactic than using the IRS against political
opponents was taken: an incumbent Republican's campaign staff made a CPS report on his challenger in the lead-up
to their primary.
Oprah Talks to
God, But It's Okay Because She's Not Mike Pence. [Scroll down] I know, I know: Joy Behar is just a
comedian. Why am I criticizing her? Can't I take a joke? Well, two things. 1) No, I can't, and
2) That's the sort of dishonest "Clown Nose Off, Clown Nose On" tactic that's been perfected for the past couple of decades
by Behar, and Jon Stewart, and other lefty comics. Here's how it goes: We're supposed to pay attention to what these
people say because of their prominence. They're very important people, and they have very important opinions. But then,
when we engage them on an argument they're making and point out the flaws in it, they retreat. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm
just a comedian!"
Incompetent,
Preening Broward County Sheriff Gets Caught in a Lie. As the hours and days pass, it's becoming increasingly
apparent how terribly law enforcement — and especially the Broward County Sheriff's office — bungled
its collective handling of the Parkland massacre, from ignoring multiple red flags leading up to the horrific incident to
deadly inaction during the shooting itself. We can now add 'lying after the fact' to the list. Facing intense
questions about the department's disastrous response to explicit warning signs about the perpetrator, the Sheriff's office
released an indignant statement at nearly 10 pm on Saturday night [2/24/2018].
Our
Anglo-American Heritage Can't Be Wished Away by the Left. As a history professor and long-time instructor in
"Western Civilization" classes, I was dumbfounded by recent leftist attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Sessions, at a meeting of U.S. sheriffs, innocuously observed that these highly respected police officials are part of our
country's democratic and "Anglo-American" legal and law enforcement heritage. The term "Anglo-American" stuck in Left's
collective craw, symbolizing (as they see it) the fact that U.S. laws and law enforcement are made of, by, and for (you
guessed it) white people. This interpretation of Sessions' remarks is not only grossly unfair — it also
ignores the very real "Anglo-American" basis for our laws, constitution, and democracy.
Was
the DNC actually hacked? Trump-Russia narrative continues to collapse. Prior to the publication of the
infamous Trump-Russia dossier, the DNC server intrusion and the Podesta email account "hack" were put forward as the first
pieces of evidence that Russia was running a weaponized cyber campaign to support then-candidate Trump. But what if
these hacking allegations are entirely baseless, just like the "salacious and unverified" allegations in the infamous dossier?
Doubts
Grow About Claims [that the] Florida Shooter [was] Tied to [a] White Supremacist Group. There are increasing
doubts about claims that the suspect in Wednesday's mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland,
Florida was tied to a white supremacist group, the Republic of Florida (ROF). On Thursday morning [2/15/2018], the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported that a spokesperson for the ROF had "admitted" the suspect, Nikolas Cruz, was
"associated" with the group: [...] But the story soon began to unravel.
The
Fake National Security Behind Obama's Watergate. Before the Nunes memo was released, Democrats, the media and
its intelligence sources insisted that it would undermine national security, reveal tradecraft secrets and even get agents
killed. Senator Cory Booker warned that it might be treasonously "endangering fellow Americans in the intelligence
community." It was, but not in the way that he meant. The memo didn't have anything resembling classified information
it. Neither did the Grassley-Graham criminal referral which was heavily redacted to screen out all the "classified
information." What did the classified information consist of? The Grassley-Graham criminal referral went through two
FBI redactions. Julie Kelly at American Greatness compared the two versions to see what was hidden. Most of the
redactions in the first version, that were exposed in the second version, involved the problems with the FISA warrant
application's reliance on Christopher Steele. The references to the FISA warrant, which is classified, allowed figures
in the FBI to redact it. But none of the references reveal anything damaging to our national security.
Why Did the Democrats Lie
So Baldly about the Memo? Adam Schiff, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, among seemingly dozens of Democrats,
not to mention half the mainstream media, had been warning us for days that the release of the memo authored by Republican
members of the House Intelligence Committee would place our national security at grave risk. "Sources and methods"
would be revealed. Now that we have seen the memo, it's clear that was an absolutely bald-faced lie of the most
obvious sort. Nothing in it impacts national security in the slightest. There's no mention whatsoever of
any "sources and methods."
Patrisse
Cullors: Nearly Six Years Ago Trayvon Martin Was Murdered 'In Cold Blood'. Patrisse Cullors is one of the
co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, a movement which began after unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin was shot and
killed by George Zimmerman nearly six years ago. Today, NBC News has published a piece by Cullors which repeats some
false claims about Martin's death, foremost among them that he was murdered in "cold blood."
The
Memo Reveals The Coup Against America. The Democrats and the media spent a week lying to the American people
about the "memo." The memo was full of "classified information" and releasing" it would expose "our spying methods."
By "our," they didn't mean American spying methods. They meant Obama's spying methods. A former White House Ethics
Lawyer claimed that the Nunes memo would undermine "national security." On MSNBC, Senator Chris Van Hollen threatened that
if the memo is released, the FBI and DOJ "will refuse to share information with the House and Senate Intelligence Committees."
Senator Cory Booker howled that releasing the memo was "treasonous" and might be "revealing sources and methods" and even
"endangering fellow Americans in the intelligence community." The memo isn't treasonous. It reveals a treasonous
effort by the Democrats to use our intelligence agencies to rig an election and overturn the will of the voters.
The
true threat to our freedom and democracy is a compliant media. James Comey illegally leaks government documents to a
professor who releases it to the media. Much later, Comey says the professor was his attorney. Dianne Feinstein leaks
testimony about the Russian investigation to the media. She later blames a cold for her malfeasance. Adam Schiff
repeatedly goes to the media and claims there is evidence of a Russian collusion with Trump even though there is no actual
evidence. The media gladly repeats what Schiff says, acting as if it is factual. Anonymous sources have repeatedly
leaked material from private conversations at the White House and the media gladly takes the leaks and treats them as factual.
Information is repeatedly leaked from the "secret" Mueller investigation and it shows up in newspapers and on cable and network
news. But now, we are told that Democrats and the FBI say how dangerous it would be to the FBI and how it would undermine
the justice system if a memo from Republicans were released to the public.
Schumer:
Trump should thank Obama for economy. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday [1/30/2018] that
President Trump should thank former President Obama for the country's economic growth during his first State of the Union speech.
"If you're going to pat yourself on the back, give a shoutout to Barack Obama because he did even better than you in job creation," he
said. Schumer added that Trump was handed an "already healthy economy," but "two words we won't hear President Trump say tonight
about the economy: 'Thanks, Obama.'"
Adam
Schiff's Versions Of Events Are Frequently False Or Missing Key Details. Yesterday [1/29/2018] the House
Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence voted to release a four-page summary document alleging surveillance abuses by the
Justice Department and FBI. The committee's memo has been available to all 435 House members for more than a week. Some
of those who read it described it as "troubling," "shocking," "jaw-dropping," "sickening," and "criminal." FBI Director
Christopher Wray reviewed the memo on Sunday. As soon as the committee had finished voting, ranking member
Rep. Adam Schiff ran to the cameras to spin the news. From that point, he began explaining things in a
non-truthful manner. This inability or unwillingness to accurately convey information is not a surprise so much as a
regular feature of his work with journalists, but it's worth noting how that played out in just one few-hour span.
How a Civil
War Happens. The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the
results of an election. We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this. The first time a
Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn't really win. The Supreme Court gave him the
election. There's a pattern here. Trump didn't really win the election. Bush didn't really win the
election. Every time a Republican president won an election this century, the Democrats insist he didn't really
win. Now say a third Republican president wins an election in say, 2024. What are the odds that they'll say
that he didn't really win? Right now, it looks like 100 percent.
The Democratic Party of Today.
Identity politics encourages fraud. Remember the white woman, Rachel Dolezal, who claimed to be black and thereby took
a position in the NAACP somewhere? She was exposed as a fraud, but continued to claim that she was black. Few
people seemed to care. This is what the Democratic Party has come to. It is not only that the party is filled
with phonies, but that the party has no standards. It is without class. It is the party of maudlin claims and
easy outrage, often childish outrage.
What
I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa: Trump Is Right. Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a
community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was,
in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment." In plain English: [excrement] is everywhere. People defecate
on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust — onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. He warned us the first day of
training: do not even touch water. Human feces carries parasites that bore through your skin and cause organ failure. Never
in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a few decades later, liberals would be pushing the lie that Western civilization is no better
than a third-world country. Or would teach two generations of our kids that loving your own culture and wanting to preserve it are racism.
Is
Dick Durbin trustworthy or a political hack the media loves? Senator Durbin is saying Trump called third-world countries [a
pejorative and deprecatory term of profanity]. (The media and Democrats are saying he is racist, but how is it racist to call backward,
corrupt countries what they literally are?) Senator Cotton and Senator Perdue were also in the room and said they didn't hear those
words, but that doesn't fit the narrative, so the media ignore them. The goal every day is to destroy Trump and his agenda so the
media will have a new story after Durbin. Some things they don't want to report on are the economy growing so fast and the tax cuts
trickling down fast. Since Durbin seems to be the main source, shouldn't we look at his history of truthfulness, caring about racists
and how he has treated sexual abusers in the past?
We
Live in Stupid Times. I have no idea what's true and what's not true in the new book Fire and Fury:
Inside The Trump White House, and neither does anyone on cable television repeating its claims like they were a personal
witness to the events described in it. But neither does the author, it seems. In the book's prologue he wrote,
"Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I
have, through a consistency in the accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I
believe to be true." That's a long way of saying, "I don't know if all this stuff is true, I didn't bother to verify
it. And I filled in some gaps myself because 'why not?'" [...] What's true and what's fiction doesn't matter because as
that cable news personality basically put it, it fit what they all believe to be the case. We are now in a time where
what is news is determined by the "spidey sense" of activists with media credentials.
The
liberal media have all the facts! Except when they don't. I saw an article by the AP the other day where
they were ripping Trump as a know-nothing because he tweeted that the Northeast could use a little of that global
warming. The article said 2017 was the warmest year on record except for El Niño years, which means that it was
not the warmest on record. The article could have been in The Onion for how worthless it was. The intent was to
make people believe that 2017 was the warmest on record. The article should say that El Niño, La Niña, the
Jet Stream, polar vortices, solar activity, and other natural phenomena control the weather and climate. Meanwhile, a significant
number of us repeat over and over again that the climate is cyclical and natural, as it always has been, and we are called stupid.
Bill
Clinton lawyer: 'Deafening' claims of Mueller bias echo only on Fox News, Trump twitter. Dave Kendall, who
served as a lawyer for former President Clinton, rushed to defend special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in an op-ed
published Thursday, calling allegations of bias in the probe unfounded. The op-ed, published by The Washington Post,
takes aim at another opinion piece published in the newspaper earlier this week by Kenneth Starr, the former independent
counsel charged with investigating scandals during Clinton's presidency, in which he argues that Mueller's investigation has
been marked by partisan bias against Trump. "The reasons given for Starr's reset are wholly specious: There is
ostensibly a 'drumbeat of criticism' aimed at special counsel Robert S. Mueller III which 'has become deafening,'
including 'cascading revelations of anti-Trump bias,'" Kendall wrote.
The
Obama Years: A Legacy Of Scandal and Deception. On December 13, former vice president, Joe Biden, appeared
on CBS with the hosts of "This Morning" where he peddled his new book and showered his former boss with praise. During
the course of the interview, he was asked about his relationship with Obama and responded with the following; "I've served with eight
presidents and I've gotten to know four of them very well. I've never met any president that has more character, more integrity,
and more backbone than this guy does." Then he went completely off the rails when he absurdly added; "And eight years, not a
hint — not a hint — of a scandal. What was perhaps even more outrageous than the statement itself was
the fact that none of This Morning's hosts challenged the veracity of that statement and allowed it to pass without a scintilla
of scrutiny, exposing yet again an extreme bias existing within elements of the establishment media.
Watch:
Joe Biden Claims Obama Never Had Any Scandals, Ignores These 11 Major Scandals. During a recent appearance on
CBS' "This Morning," former Vice President Joe Biden declared that Barack Obama's presidency didn't have "a hint of a
scandal." Biden made the claim in response to a question by the show's hosts about his friendship with the former
president. After praising Obama as the most virtuous president he's met in his decades of serving the people, Biden
said that not only was the former president spotless, so was his presidency.
The Morality
Sweepstakes. Democrats will do anything to win, including campaigning against obscenities that their culture
manifestly exalts.
There
Is Nothing More Despicable Than a Democrat. The Democrats are relentless, they come at you from all angles,
they never stop, and they have absolutely no rules. For them, at least, anything goes — lie, cheat, steal, and defame, it
doesn't matter as long as they win. Yet in the world the Democrats and the media have created, the Republicans have plenty of
rules, and if they don't abide by each one, the media tries to make it a scandal. It doesn't help that there are a lot of
Republicans and conservatives who are just too pure to get down and dirty. Many Republicans would rather lose with dignity
than win, but people who voted for Trump want to win. America wants to win. Republicans, all Republicans need to learn
how to fight like the Democrats, or the nation is lost.
Levin:
'Left-wing kook' Gloria Allred 'has a lot to answer for'. LevinTV host Mark Levin had strong words for attorney
Gloria Allred Friday night [12/8/2017] after her client, Beverly Young Nelson, admitted to writing part of the yearbook
inscription she had attributed to Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Nelson and Allred had previously suggested the
entire yearbook note was Moore's when Nelson publicly accused him of sexual assaulting her when she was a teenager.
This latest development raises questions about Nelson's credibility. "Gloria Allred has a lot to answer for," Levin
said. And he didn't stop there.
Facebook
Informs Breitbart Gloria Allred Yearbook Forgery is Fake News. Facebook warned Breitbart News on Friday [12/8/2017] that
the author of a completely factual story concerning the accuser of Alabama Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore needed to consult
"additional reporting" from the liberal fact-checker Politifact. The story, published on Friday morning, detailed how
Beverly Young Nelson, who accused Roy Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager, admitted to adding "notes" to
part of her yearbook, which she claims Moore signed. This revelation came despite Nelson claiming at her initial press
conference alongside her lawyer Gloria Allred, that the entire yearbook document was solely Moore's handwriting.
Forgery
101: Beverly Young Nelson and Gloria Allred Both Presented 'Notes' as Roy Moore's Own Writing. So-called
"fact-checking" websites have objected to Breitbart News' use of the term "forgery" to describe the yearbook that Roy Moore
accuser Beverly Young Nelson and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, have used in attempting to corroborate Nelson's allegation that
Moore sexually assaulted her some 40 years ago. Politifact labeled the claim "Pants on Fire," and Facebook has
even attached a pop-up warning to a Breitbart article about the alleged forgery.
Handwriting
Expert Touted by Washington Post Turns on Gloria Allred: Calls for Activist Attorney to Release Yearbook.
A handwriting expert prominently cited by the Washington Post on the matter of the yearbook presented as evidence by
Roy Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson raised new questions today in a Breitbart News interview about the inscription and
signature at the center of national controversy. Specifically, the expert raised doubts about whether the initials "DA"
at the end of Moore's alleged signature evidenced stylistic differences when compared to the rest of the writing in the
yearbook. The forensic document examiner, Mark Songer, a former FBI agent, also called for Nelson's attorney, activist
Gloria Allred, to release the original yearbook "to all parties for examination. I think it is only fair. It
shouldn't be hidden or anything like that in my opinion."
Roy
Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson says she added date and location to yearbook entry. When Beverly Young
Nelson, accompanied by Gloria Allred, accused Roy Moore of sexual assault behind a diner when she was 16, she showed a high
school yearbook with Moore's purported dated signature to prove she knew him. The yearbook entry was a piece of
evidence that immediately raised questions. I wrote at the time Roy Moore "handwriting analyses" prove Trial by Twitter
is no way to determine guilt or innocence[.]
Roy
Moore Accuser Admits She Forged Part of Yearbook Signature. Roy Moore has been a man under fire lately.
He first gained national prominence as the pick of Steve Bannon in the Alabama Senate race against Trump's pick, Luther
Strange, and shortly after Moore was declared the winner, women including Beverly Young Nelson have come up to claim that
Moore had sexually abused her as a young woman. Ms. Young Nelson's charge comes with the physical evidence of her
high school yearbook. She alleged that Moore had signed her yearbook when she was 16. Now 56, she has been
showing off the yearbook from 1977 with her lawyer, Gloria Allred.
The Editor says...
One would presume that a competent attorney would carefully examine the physical evidence in a case like this, before going on
national TV to make sensational claims against a Senate candidate. Otherwise the attorney might end up looking like
an accessory to an obvious fraud.
Roy
Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama Senate candidate. One of the
women who accused Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of making advances on her when she was a teen and he a local prosecutor
admitted Friday [12/8/2017] to forging part of the yearbook inscription she offered as proof. Beverly Young Nelson told
ABC News she wrote part of the disputed note in her high school yearbook that she and famed attorney Gloria Allred presented
as proof the then-30-something Moore sought an inappropriate relationship with her in the late 1970s.
How
Democrats Corrupt English To Create Hysteria. [Scroll down] Liberal columnists, for example, will
earnestly argue that Republicans, who at this moment control the Senate, the House of Representatives, and White House thanks
to our free and fair elections, are acting undemocratically when passing bills. As you know, democracy means
raising taxes on the rich. Just ask all the folks who told us democracy died over the weekend. But the most
obvious and ubiquitous of the Left's contorted contentions about the tax bill deliberately muddles the concept of giving and
the concept of not taking enough. This distortion is so embedded in contemporary rhetoric that I'm not sure most of the
foot soldiers even think it's odd to say anymore. "You really shouldn't lower everyone's taxes because it creates
deficits and makes harder to expand important programs like Medicaid" doesn't have quite the same kick as "You're killing the
poor!" Whatever you make of the separate tax bills the House and Senate have passed, though, the authors do not take one
penny from anyone. In fact, no spending is being cut (unfortunately). Not one welfare program is being
block-granted. Not one person is losing a subsidy. It's just a wide-ranging tax cut without any concurrent
spending cuts.
Senate
Democrats Blatantly Lied About Hillsdale College. [Scroll down] And despite Democratic claims, Hillsdale
does not decline federal money so it can engage in "discrimination." Just the opposite. In refusing to comply with
federal education bureaucrats' race-tracking rules, the school's board insists on not discriminating. Hillsdale is
known for its outspoken commitment to human equality as expressed in the key documents of the American Founding. Its
beautiful campus is populated with statues of some of the great champions of liberty and equality, including Lincoln,
Jefferson, and Frederick Douglass. Colorblindness, equal treatment, and protection of individual rights are among the
hallmarks flowing from a remarkable heritage.
Southern
Poverty Law Center Claims Antifa Is NOT a Hate Group. Testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee
on Thursday, Southern Poverty Law Center President Richard Cohen stated that Antifa is not considered a "hate group" by his
organization. "If you are familiar with our work, we write about antifa often," Cohen testified during the hearing on
domestic terrorism. "We condemn their tactics — I've said so publicly and we do so always — but
antifa is not a group that vilifies people on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion and the like." While they may not
hate over religion, they certainly spread hate based on political leanings. In fact, Cohen's statements came one day
before a man in Boston was hospitalized with three fractures in his face after being attacked by a group of 7-10 Antifa
militants over his support of President Donald Trump.
Cop
Accuser Implodes in Breitbart Interview, Admits to Making Unsupported Claims About Roy Moore. Faye Gary, a
former police officer with the Gadsden Police Department in Alabama, has been featured in the news in recent days making the
unsubstantiated claim that she was told to protect young cheerleaders from Roy Moore at local ballgames. Speaking in a
Breitbart News interview on Wednesday, Gary falsely claimed that Moore "wanted to keep segregation here in the south."
She then claimed that Moore "hates Jews. He hates blacks. He hates Muslims. He hates gays." When
challenged for specifics, Gary conceded that "I don't know exactly what he said about Jews, but he doesn't like Muslims.
I know he doesn't like Muslims. It is my personal feeling that he doesn't like blacks."
Sexual Harassment? Depends on the
Victim. [Scroll down] As for those allegations against Judge Moore from forty years ago — to have come just
weeks before an election? Give me a break. It's become obvious that his accusers have more than stretched the truth
and may have even falsified evidence of his alleged misbehavior. Feminist lawyer and suspected con artist Gloria Allred may
have bitten off more than she can chew since much of her evidence of harassment has been debunked.
Media
Tolerate Lies ... When They Come From Elizabeth Warren. The network news divisions boast about how much they care about
the truth and then rage against President Trump when he calls them makers of "fake news." But when it comes to the politicians
they adore, especially those they wish would run for president, the truth takes a back seat.
De Blasio's
NYC: Lies stacked on top of lies. With the election behind him, the mayor matter-of-factly acknowledges that he
knew since March of 2016 that the city had failed for years to do required lead-paint inspections in public-housing
apartments, even though he promised it would. Why didn't he come clean before he was outed? "I think that's a
fair point and, in retrospect, I wish we had," he said. We? We didn't lie — you did.
Singular. He also knew that the Housing Authority's chief falsely claimed to the feds in writing that the inspections
were done as required. "She acted in good faith," he insisted. Perhaps realizing he'd more or less conceded a
cover-up, the mayor serenely declared: "There was no attempt to deceive."
Every
Single Detail of Gloria Allred's Attack on Roy Moore Has Been Debunked. Last Monday far left attorney Gloria Allred held a press
conference with Beverly Nelson in New York City. We now know that EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of their public accusation was a LIE.
Republican Judge Roy Moore released testimony Monday night that proves far left Attorney Gloria Allred, accuser Beverly Nelson and the national
media were lying about the allegations against Judge Roy Moore.
Don't
Put Clarence Thomas In with the Bad Boys. In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein revelations, Anita Hill's star is
shining brighter than it has since the riveting Hill-Thomas hearings in 1991. "Hill gave voice to the silent indignities
endured by women," wrote Jonathan Capehart recently in the Washington Post — Capehart being one of many pundits
who made such claims without any substantiation whatsoever. In fact, the actual evidence strongly suggests that if Hill
ever suffered indignities, Clarence Thomas did not inflict them. [...] The media have chosen to forget. With their
help, Anita Hill has come to play the sacrificial victim role for the feminist movement in much the same way that Michael
Brown and Trayvon Martin play that role for the Black Lives Matter movement. The reality is this: America's
progressives have little or no regard for the truth.
New York to ISIS:
Keep Killing Us! We're Resilient! There's a Southern saying for hypocrites like Bill de Blasio: he's slimier than a bowl of
boiled okra. The mayor began with a phony request to be allowed "to be frank" and, with a mask-like expression, stated the obvious: "It was
an act of terror." He used the word "terror" once, and never said "Islamic," "ISIS," "terrorist," "terrorism," or "war," but he employed the vague,
minimizing terms "tragedy" and "loss" for the rest of his remarks. Cue the firm resolve face: "We know that this action was intended to break
our spirit." No, Billy, your words are intended to break our spirit; Saipov intended the glory of killing as many infidels as possible.
De Blasio continued, "But we also know New Yorkers are strong. New Yorkers are resilient. Our spirit will never be moved by an act of
violence, an act meant to intimidate us." Remaining unmoved when religious fanatics are slaughtering you is not resilience; it is mental illness.
Marie
Harf inanely credits Obama with retaking Raqqa. I realize that it must be intensely humiliating for members of
the Obama foreign policy team to see President Trump making good on his promise to eliminate ISIS. The rapid fall of the
jihad caliphate is showing up the bloody fecklessness of the Obama administration, which, after the president ridiculed ISIS
as the jayvee, was forced to lamely account for its failure effectively to dispatch it. Marie Harf has gone the extra
mile into absurdity in dealing with the shame, actually trying to credit her former boss, President Obama, with the victory.
"Meathead" speaks! Rob
Reiner Equates Previous Allegations Against Clarence Thomas to Those Against Harvey Weinstein. Actor and
producer Rob Reiner on Tuesday equated allegations previously made against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to those
made against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. [...] MSNBC's Joe Scarborough shot back at the comment about Thomas. "We
actually asked you about Harvey Weinstein and a lot of women are saying he raped them," Scarborough said. "I don't
agree with you on Clarence Thomas. I think telling inappropriate jokes and raping women are two completely different
things. There's a false equivalency there."
Rep.
Maxine Waters: 'Housing Is a Necessary Human Right'. Prominent liberals, Sen. Bernie Sanders among them,
insist that health care is a human right, and the same can be said about housing, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said on
Thursday [10/12/2017]. Waters, the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, was among several
African-American Democrats on the committee who blasted HUD Secretary Ben Carson as uncaring and incompetent because he
supports the Trump administration's budget cuts. "In the face of the immense housing needs in our country, President
Trump chose Dr. Ben Carson to serve as the head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development," Waters said in her
opening statement at the HUD oversight hearing.
Hillary's
election would have shelved Weinstein story. Amanda Carpenter threw cold water on the media feeding frenzy over
the revelation that for decades Harvey Weinstein preyed on women in Hollywood. She pointed out that if we elected
Hillary president, he would be home free. The New York Times would have protected him just as it did in 2004 when
Sharon Waxman tried to break the news. But Trump is president, and Weinstein is expendable. So the Times dusted
off a 13-year-old story and poof, he is gone. Hooray for the Times, right? Well, except for the part where he
continued to victimize women for 13 years.
The
Congressional Black Caucus Prayer Breakfast: The Great Black Deception. This breakfast was all about
exploiting black's Christian heritage to deceive them for the purpose of furthering Leftists' anti-Christian agenda.
Every musical performance praised Jesus. Leftists despise Jesus, aggressively seeking to ban the God of Christianity
from the public square. Several of the all-Democrat speakers quoted the Bible to strengthen their political
deceptions. The truth is, quoting the Bible is as repulsive to Leftists as showing Dracula the cross. I thought,
does anyone in that hall know Obama led a leftist war on Christianity, making him the most anti-Christian president in U.S.
history? Do y'all know the 2017 Women's March and Trump resisters whom you've praised at this breakfast seek to
continue the Leftists' war on Christianity?
A Lying Quartet. Rarely
has an intelligence apparatus engaged in systematic lying — and chronic deceit about its lying — both
during and even after its tenure. Yet the Obama Administration's four top security and intelligence officials time and
again engaged in untruth, as if peddling lies was part of their job descriptions. So far none have been held
accountable. Those exemptions are likely because, in hubristic fashion, all four assumed their service to progressive
noble agendas would justify any odious means felt necessary to achieve them.
Publisher
pulls book from Clinton's pastor over plagiarism. The publisher of a book written by Hillary Clinton's longtime
pastor is discontinuing sales, citing newly discovered examples of plagiarism. Abingdon Press has stopped sales of the
book "Strong for a Moment Like This: The Daily Devotions of Hillary Rodham Clinton" by Rev. Bill Shillady and
plans to destroy the rest of the book's copies, CNN reported Tuesday [9/5/2017]. Rev. Brian Milford, president of
The United Methodist Publishing House, which owns Abingdon Press, said the publisher "has zero tolerance for plagiarism."
Book
by Hillary Clinton's pastor will be pulled from shelves due to extensive plagiarism. Hillary Clinton said that
the email her spiritual adviser, the Rev. Bill Shillady, sent her on the morning after she lost the 2016 presidential
election helped her heal from her devastating defeat. It wasn't until months later, when Shillady published that email
in a book, that it came to light that he had plagiarized the words that so moved the candidate. Now, less than a month
after the book's publication, the publishing house that printed it says it is pulling the book off the shelves because it's
riddled with plagiarism.
Clinton,
Sanders Have More Fake Than Real Twitter Followers. The Twitter accounts of Hillary Clinton and
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), as well as those of top Democratic Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Elizabeth Warren
(Mass.), have more fake than real followers. The analysis site TwitterAudit, which calculates how many of one's Twitter
followers are real, found that 9,086,280 of Clinton's 17.9 million followers are fake, while 8,729,955 are real
accounts. For Sanders, 4,638,005 of his 7.74 million followers are fake, while 3,079,142 are real accounts.
Sanders' numbers are from his personal Twitter Account, @BernieSanders. His official Senate account, @SenSanders, has
2,613,107 fake followers and 3,142,635 real ones. Booker has 1,978,364 fake followers compared to his 1,369,122 real
ones. Warren's Twitter account has 1,585,213 fake followers and 1,428,499 real ones. Several other Democratic
politicians also have Twitter accounts with a high percentage of fake followers.
Hillary
Clinton didn't lose because of the media, and her supporters can't accept it. That Hillary Clinton's White
House hopes were stunted at least in part by an unfair news media is a conviction that continues to burn strong with her
hardcore believers, even as the rest of us know that, like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and Chris Cillizza's political insight,
it isn't real. Complaints about the media as it relates to Clinton resurfaced this week after a New York Times reporter
defended his paper's coverage in 2016.
House
Democrat Threatens Trump's Life on Social Media; Ludicrous! Once again the political rhetoric in Washington is
heating up, and if you listen to the mainstream media, you'll hear all about how it's not just people on the left who are
constantly acting inappropriate, or calling for violence. You'll hear that the calls for violence, or the abusive rhetoric
has been a problem coming from both political parties, but the reality is that simply just is NOT true. As a matter of fact,
to even suggest such a thing is patently false, and anyone doing so knows [quite] well that it's false! When it comes to
the Democrats not getting their way, it's always the same: They start with the personal attacks, then start telling
outright lies if they have to, and when those don't work, there are calls for violence.
Virginia
State Police Say They Didn't Find Weapons Caches in Charlottesville Despite McAuliffe Claim. Virginia
Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) was contradicted by the Virginia State Police again on Wednesday after he claimed weapons were
hidden around Charlottesville during a white supremacist rally turned riot. During an interview with Black Lives Matter
activist DeRay Mckesson, McAuliffe explained why police were often hesitant to try and break up violent altercations between
white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Antifa factions. He said the white supremacists and neo-Nazis were heavily armed and
prepared to commit violent acts from the start, and police were trying to avoid escalating the violence. He then
claimed police had discovered weapons caches throughout the city. [...] However, Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne
Geller told Reason magazine that no such weapons caches were discovered.
As If
On Cue, Multiple Media People Compare Antifa To D-Day Soldiers. Via Weasel Zippers, we see another (completely
coincidental) instance of #FakeNews memes promoted almost as if they'd been coordinated. First there was Clinton
spokeshack Brian Fallon, followed immediately by a wave of other fakestream miscreants. Only one teensy, eensy problem
with the comparison: the Allies were confronting an army that had already waged war across Europe and slaughtered
millions, not a hundred or so low-IQ kooks who had secured a permit to hold a protest.
Hillary's
Campaign Spokesman Compares D-Day Soldiers To Antifa. The campaign spokesman for former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign compared allied forces during War World II to Antifa protesters Tuesday night. Brian Fallon,
who served as Clinton's spokesman during her failed 2016 campaign, tweeted out a picture of Allied Forces invading Normandy.
More
Leftish Overreach: Leftists, Media Compare Antifa To WWII Allies. [Scroll down] The fact is that
anti-fascist violence by Communists helped drive Hitler into power. It helped promote Mussolinia's regime.
Antifa's tactics help the alt-right by allowing them to proclaim themselves victims of violence, defenders against the
red horde. And no, World War II allies fighting Hitler's soldiers weren't fighting protesters — they were
fighting armed men with guns who had invaded sovereign states and were busily exterminating Jews. We didn't send tanks
and howitzers to fight rallies. We send them to fight armies.
Charlottesville:
Fueling Race Riots One of the Left's Cleverest Tactics. The playbook goes like this: Spread the word
nonstop that Democrats help minorities and Republicans are racist (never mind that it was mostly Democrats in Congress who
opposed ending segregation — people don't pay close attention to history). Once this false mantra has been
established, label a broad range of normal behavior by conservatives as racist (it doesn't matter if some of those
conservatives are minorities themselves, like black and Hispanic police officers, contradictions don't matter). Lump all
that behavior in with that of the small number of real racists and refer to it as conservative or right wing (never
mind that many racists are on the left, just gloss over that). Even better, create a new term that clearly refers to white
supremacists, alt-right, and lump in mainstream conservatives. This tactic has allowed the left to write off one of the
most popular conservative publications in the country, Breitbart, as racist.
Delighted with
Trump. [Scroll down] The sheer entitled misery of losing with Hillary has ruined [the Democrats']
year. Well, they deserve it, because they are responsible for just about all the chronic troubles in the world.
Yes, including Kim Jong-un and his whole family, who have been suckering the world with Democratic collusion for maybe thirty
years. Madeleine Albright was sent to that hellhole to "negotiate" with Kim II, waltzed with him like two cartoon
hippos on the balcony of his palace while thousands of starving cadres marched by on the street below. Then she came
back flaunting a "treaty" with the Norks, promising they wouldn't build a plutonium bomb, because they were really planning
on old-fashioned uranium. They knew it, Bill and Maddy knew it, and the New York Times knew it, but they lied, lied,
lied to us. The American people were infinitely stupid, and the media celebrated Bill's big victory.
'Freedom of the Press' Doesn't Mean What You Think.
Progressive propaganda, relying on misdirection, misinterpretation, and outright falsehoods, permeates American life and touches or taints every
topic. The corporations that produce mass entertainment and news, the government bureaucracies that shape and fund education, the schools from
kindergarten to college, and the tech firms that control the flow of information and ideas, are all subject to a groupthink that, for all intents and
purposes, brooks absolutely no dissent from Leftist dogma.
Ben Rhodes,
caught in the act. [Scroll down] There's also a perception that spin-doctor Ben makes up phony
"narratives" to fool the American people, as he did with the Iran Deal, claiming he set up a media echo chamber to mislead
the American public, and with his Libya scandal, where he had then-United Nations ambassador Susan Rice repeat his phony
Benghazi talking points to mislead the American public on the reason an American ambassador was murdered in Libya, claiming
it was the work of a spontaneous mob when in fact it was a full-blown planned al-Qaida attack. The idea was to perpetrate
the Obama myth that al-Qaida was "on the run" as the 2012 election day approach rather than growing stronger than ever.
We're
All Being Pretty Quiet About Obama's Failures, Aren't We? President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign was
built on the claim that he was not just tough on terrorists, but also he was successful in fighting them. "President
Obama has placed the killing of Osama bin Laden at the center of his reelection effort," began one Washington Post story
about the effort. Vice President Joe Biden was sent out on the campaign trail to repeat the mantra daily: "Osama
bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive!" And it wasn't just bin Laden. The campaign wanted to emphasize how
successful Obama's strategy was when it came to containing Islamist terrorism. Throughout the 2012 campaign, Obama described
al Qaeda as being "on the path to defeat" or "decimated." One media outlet counted 32 instances of him saying this
even after the al Qaeda-linked attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
World
View: Fed Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen Says [There Will Be] 'No Financial Crisis in Our Lifetimes'.
Janet Yellen, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, the successor to Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan, held a press
conference on Tuesday of last week, during which she said that she believes that there will be no new financial crisis "in
our lifetimes": [...] This is such a bizarre, naïve statement, that it is hard to know what to make of it. Yellen
is expressing precisely the attitude that is always been prevalent prior to every financial crisis in world history.
Politicians say "This time it's different," and "We've learned our lessons," and "It can't happen this time." And it does
not happen this time until it does. Actually, the lessons from the last financial crisis have not been learned at all.
McCaskill Admits Donation to Foundation Connected to Russian Ambassador.
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) admitted Tuesday [6/27/2017] that she, her husband, and their private family foundation
donated a total of $1,000 to the American-Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation, on whose board of directors Russian
ambassador Sergey Kislyak serves as honorary chairman.
Democratic
senator who claims she never met the Russian Ambassador went to a black-tie dinner at his residence. A Democrat
Senator who claimed she never met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak actually attended a black tie event at his
residence, it has been revealed. Claire McCaskill, the Senator from Missouri, tweeted in March: 'I've been on the Armed
Services Com for 10 years. No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever.' But CNN has now revealed that
in November 2015 she attended an evening at his Washington residence to honor Democratic Rep. James Symington, who is from
her state and worked to further US-Russian relations.
Who Does The FBI Work
For? [Scroll down] That brings us to yesterday's [6/21/2017] FBI briefing on the shooting targeting
Republicans in Alexandria, a briefing that could not be more bizarre in its content and its conclusions. There's also
this incredible tidbit, which somehow has received little to no attention: "Hodgkinson also visited the office of
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose campaign he had worked on as a volunteer, and was in email contact with the two
Democratic senators from his home state." If this was a shooter who had worked for Ted Cruz and was in contact via
email with both of the Senators from Texas, wouldn't we know about it? There's no reason to beat around the bush here:
what the FBI is claiming is mind-boggling when they claim the shooter had no target in mind. Consider the number of
accidents of circumstance you would have to believe were going on here to not have the shooter doing what seems obvious from
every piece of evidence we have: researching and planning for an attack on Republicans of some kind, particularly looking for an
opportunity when security will be low and vulnerability will be high. This was an attack, not an "anger management" problem.
Nonprofit
Tracker Smears Dozens of Conservative Organizations as 'Hate Groups'. The nation's leading source of
information on U.S. charities faces mounting criticism for using a controversial "hate group" designation in listings for
some well-known and broadly supported conservative nonprofits. GuideStar, which calls itself a "neutral" aggregator of
tax data on charities, recently incorporated "hate group" labels produced by the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center.
The decision by the tracker of nonprofits prompted 41 conservative leaders to protest the move in a letter provided
exclusively to The Daily Signal.
Good
riddance to the Russia myth — and blame Team Obama for promoting it. Ex-Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson's testimony Wednesday [6/21/2017] should mark the definitive end of "Russia hacked the election" hysteria. Too bad it
took so long to get to this point. Johnson told the House Intelligence Committee outright that the Russians failed to
alter "ballots, ballot counts or reporting of election results." Yes, it's clear Russia (with Vladimir Putin's full
approval) orchestrated cyberattacks designed to influence the 2016 contest, and also pushed fake news. But the hack,
and release via WikiLeaks, etc., of Democratic emails produced nothing game-changing.
The
Big Collusion Narrative Keeps Melting Down. After two days and almost six hours of high-stakes public
testimony, I'm struck by the total lack of any compelling claims supporting the "big" collusion narrative, that Russia
conspired with Trump or Trump officials to "hack" election. While we certainly aren't privy to all the relevant
information or all the relevant testimony, nothing that James Comey said last week or that Jeff Sessions said today (much
less any of the questions directed his way) contained so much as a meaningful hint that the Committee was on the verge of
uncovering the political scandal of the century. Rather, the focus keeps shifting to much narrower questions regarding
Trump's decision to fire James Comey — questions that are important but far less historically consequential than
any claim that a president or his attorney general are traitors to their country.
A
vast conspiracy of silence kept the 'Russia collusion' story alive. American democracy has been corrupted, and
if not cured, the disease will be fatal. There is no other conclusion to be drawn when the public is deceived on the
scale that was revealed (but ignored) by James Comey. The stunning truth is that the American political and media
establishment allowed a phony story — that they knew was phony — to dominate our political
discourse for months.
Guess
who got busted for 'fake news'. PETA is among my least favorite organizations. It is skillful at
propaganda, but ethics is another matter entirely. Here is how the founder and president, Ingrid Newkirk, denied the
obvious intent to deceive. "There was never ... any attempt to keep people in the dark that what they had seen was
fake. The only issue here is timing[,]" Newkirk argued in an email to The Washington Post. Sorry, Ingrid, but you
quite clearly did wish to deceive, in order to produce an emotional reaction that you could then exploit to attach to
something else. That is fraud.
PETA
wanted a fake cat video to go viral. It didn't exactly turn out as planned. A small grey cat, Rufus, sits
on a bar stool in a kitchen. "Rufus, jump," a man says in a stern voice. Rufus looks at the stool next to his, a
few feet away, and cowers. The owner sighs, walks over to the cat and instructs again. "Rufus, jump," he says,
and slaps the house cat hard, in the head. The cat doesn't jump; he slaps the animal again. Finally, the cat does
the trick. "Once more for the camera!" the owner demands, before the cat scurries away, terrified. People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals were intending to anonymously release this disturbing video on YouTube this week, to draw
attention to animal cruelty. But there's a problem: The video was faked. The cat is CGI. And a PR
company working on PETA's behalf asked a media organization to help them make the video go viral — without
revealing that Rufus wasn't real.
Seven Jaw-Dropping Revelations from
Hearings on the Motion to Dismiss the DNC Fraud Lawsuit. [#1] The crux of the Motion to Dismiss asserts the Judge is not in a position to
determine how the Democratic Party conducts its nominating process. In the first of many galling and naive assertions, the Democrats' counsel advise
U.S. Federal Judge William J. Zloch, recently promoted to a Senior bench, that the lawsuit should be dismissed outright because litigating the DNC's
business would "drag the Court right into the political squabbles". Zloch, appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1985, is told: "There'd be no way
constitutionally to offer redress", despite this being the Court's "one job". City, state, county, and Federal courts review legal issues related to
political squabbles big and small on a daily basis, and specifically exist as a separate branch of our government to perform this function independent of
political disputes arising in the executive or legislative branches of the government.
The
Scandal Hiding In Plain Sight. There is a deep irony in the fact that Democrats are hysterically demanding
investigations of President Trump and his campaign team, and in fact multiple investigations are now in progress, even though
there is zero evidence that anyone associated with the president has done anything wrong. On the other hand, we now
know for certain that the Obama administration weaponized the intelligence agencies in order to use them against political
opponents, in a manner that is unprecedented, highly dangerous to our democracy, and criminal. This scandal, which
dwarfs anything of which the Trump team is even suspected, has been exposed and lies largely in plain sight for all to
see. Yet it has generally been greeted with yawns, if acknowledged at all, by politicians and commentators.
Report:
Left-Leaning Policy Group Appears To Have Flooded Net Neutrality Forum With 100,000+ Fake Comments. More than
100,000 comments supporting government regulation of the internet appear to have been automatically submitted by the
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a left-leaning nonprofit, according to a forensic analysis published Wednesday
[5/31/2017]. The responses likely did not come organically from real people, which the Federal Communications Commission's
(FCC) forum for public comment on net neutrality is intended to be for, according to The National Legal and Policy Center
(NLPC). Rather, the NLPC claims the comments seem to be artificially submitted by the EFF since language used is highly
similar to EFF's submission platform and both the email addresses and the physical addresses of the listed people are fake,
or don't exist.
The Democrats' Second
Secession & America's New Civil War. [Scroll down] Trump did not [immediately] get confirmation hearings for the team he was hoping to put in
place. He got a witch-hunt instead — a series of attempted character assassinations directed at his nominees. Most outrageously, his candidate
for Attorney General, Senator Jeff Sessions, was smeared as a "racist" by one Democratic senator after another beginning with Minority Leader, Chuck
Schumer. Yet, Sessions' public career reflected values that were quite the opposite. It included service as the attorney general of a deep
south state, in which capacity he had prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan and desegregated the public schools. These acts reflected his actual commitment
to civil rights. Schumer and his colleagues had served alongside Sessions for ten and twenty years, and knew very well that their accusations were
defamatory and false. But they persisted in them anyway.
Severed
Heads. Susan Rice managed to be at the center of almost every major Obama-administration scandal involving
national security. She lied repeatedly on national television about the cause and nature of the Benghazi killings.
She misled the U.N. about the nature of humanitarian and no-fly-zone resolutions in Libya, in order to facilitate bombing
Qaddafi out of power. She fantasized about the Bowe Bergdahl swap and in Orwellian fashion assured the nation that
the AWOL soldier had "served with honor and distinction" before being captured on the field of battle as a POW; "Sergeant
Bergdahl wasn't simply a hostage; he was an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield," she said. She was
a party to the dissimulations about the Iran Deal side agreements (whose sordid details are slowly trickling out), falsely
assuring the nation that there was no connection between cash payments to the Iranians and the release of American hostages.
The Most Asinine Claim
About the AHCA. If one takes seriously the wild characterizations of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) that
have appeared in the media since last week, the Republicans have transformed the House of Representatives from a branch of
the national legislature into a veritable abattoir. The GOP is not merely guilty of "consigning thousands of people
with serious illnesses to death," as one erstwhile news outlet put it, "the Republicans are taking health services away from
disabled children, women who give birth, and survivors of rape and sexual assault." And what has motivated the GOP to wreak
such carnage? Why, racism, of course.
'Shattered'
Revelation: Clinton Campaign Hatched Russian Hacking Narrative 24 Hours After Hillary's Loss. The new Clinton
campaign tell-all, Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign, reveals how Hillary Clinton personally placed
blame for her bruising defeat on Russian meddling "within twenty-four hours of her concession speech." The blistering
behind-the-scenes book, by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, illustrates how Hillary Clinton furiously blamed her defeat on the
FBI investigation into her private emails, Russian interference, and Trump's supposed support from "white nationalists."
How the
Media Try to Lay Waste to the Trump Administration. According to Barack Obama's Director of National Intelligence James Clapper,
there is "no evidence" that the Russians colluded with President Trump to swing the election. And there is no evidence that the Russians
interfered with election tallies. Yet allegations of Russian connections have become an article of faith for the mainstream media and
liberal comedy hosts. But as we've pointed out on many occasions, Hillary Clinton's financial and business relations with the Russians
far exceeded anything that could be attributed to Trump.
Donald
Trump: 'Nobody Believes' Susan Rice. President Donald Trump dismissed Susan Rice's assertion that she did not
unmask General Michael Flynn for political reasons. "Does anybody really believe that?" he asked during an interview with
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. "Nobody believes that, even the people that try to protect her in the news media."
Self-Busting Myths. The
American Left's myth-making and invention of useful narratives starting in the middle of the 20th century and running to
about 2010 will go down as one of the more successful efforts at shaping culture, both political and otherwise, in human
history. Controlling the discussion, amid abject failure in government, education, and business (Detroit, for example,
or Solyndra, or what they've done to Yale or the motion picture industry), has been a feat defying proper explanation.
They're to be congratulated for their skill in masking, if not weaponizing, their failure through narrative. Democrats
can't run an inner city? Accuse everyone else of racism — including the middle class, white and black, who run
screaming to the suburbs to escape the failing public schools, rampant crime, cratering infrastructure, and naked
corruption. Can't compete in business? Inflate a "green energy" bubble by concocting the global warming crisis
and demonizing fossil fuels as bringing on the apocalypse — and then pump billions of taxpayer dollars into absurdly
unsustainable business models manufactured by major political donors as little more than payoffs.
Susan
Rice is a liar. Now even the liberal media is starting to admit it. Susan Rice is a liar and that's the
truth. What's amazing is that it has taken years for the major media to admit it, despite epic evidence. Even
journalists have a breaking point — in this case, false statements about deadly chemical weapons. Rice's
lies have angered conservatives for years. Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer nicknamed the former national security
adviser the "liar in chief," according to The Blaze. Rice's willingness to misrepresent what happened during the
Benghazi attack was so amazing, that she repeated it on five separate Sunday morning news talk shows. It was a lie
that might make Pinocchio proud. But it took her lies about Syria to do just that.
Rice
claim on Syria chemical weapons gets 'four Pinocchios'. Former Obama official Susan Rice's claim just a few
months ago that the Assad regime "voluntarily and verifiably" gave up its chemical weapons stockpile earned a full rebuke
from a prominent fact-checker on Monday in the wake of last week's chemical attack. The Washington Post fact-checker
gave the former national security adviser a rating of "four Pinocchios" — the worst rating on their truth scale.
Perez:
'Trump Didn't Win The Election' — Republicans 'Don't [Care] About People'. Newly elected Democratic
National Committee chairman Tom Perez campaigned for Democrats in Newark, New Jersey Friday by telling a crowd the Republican
Party doesn't [care] about them. Perez, speaking at a rally hosted by the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, first
congratulated protesters on showing up in droves to Washington, DC on January 21, the day after President Trump's inauguration.
GOP
calls Tom Perez's statement that Trump didn't win the election 'dangerous' and 'unhinged'. The Republican
National Committee whacked back at new Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez for saying that President Trump
'didn't win this election.' The RNC sent out a statement Sunday morning labeling his comments 'unhinged.' 'Chairman
Perez's comments are dangerous and undermine our democratic process,' said chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel. 'Perhaps
Mr. Perez needs a lesson on how the Electoral College works but whether he likes it or not, Donald Trump is our president.'
Democrats
Know the Election Was Legitimate but Persist in a Dangerous Fraud. [Scroll down] The media-Democrat indictment of Trump's
election-rigging spiel was not rooted in patriotic commitment to the American democratic tradition of accepting election outcomes. They
said what they said because they fully expected to win — all the polls said so! Hillary and her chums, Barack Obama included, would not
abide a taint of illegitimacy affixing itself to her inevitable presidency. Except she wasn't so inevitable. So now, there is just
one very inconvenient problem for the "Russia hacked the election" narrative, the tireless media-Democrat harangue since November 8:
Everything of substance that is known to the U.S. government about Russian meddling was already known in those pre-election weeks when Clinton
and the Democrats were hailing the legitimacy of the process. They've changed their tune not because the facts changed, but because they
lost. And what's their story now? It's pretty much the same one they scalded Trump for telling.
In
Today's Democratic Party, Insanity Is Mandatory. Ever since election day, the Democrats have tried to undermine the Trump
administration by questioning the legitimacy of his victory. But until now, I don't recall any of them actually denying that Trump
won the election. That is the position taken last night by the newly-installed Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tom
Perez. Speaking to a Democratic rally in Newark, Perez said, among other things: "Republicans don't [care] about people" and
"Donald Trump, you didn't win the election." According to Perez, the wrong candidate was inaugurated on January 20.
CrowdStrike Firm Which Peddled 'Russian Hacking' Conspiracy Theory Retracts
Claims. The Democrats' conspiracy theory claiming Russia "hacked our election" is falling apart. The U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which
Voice of America notes was the "first to link hacks of Democratic Party computers to Russian actors last year," was caught misrepresenting data in their December
report purportedly showing Russian interference in our elections.
Four
Major Holes In Rep. Adam Schiff's Trump-Russia Conspiracy Theory. On Monday, Rep. Adam Schiff, the
ranking Democrat on a House intelligence committee, delivered his opening statements at a hearing where he laid out the case
for alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Schiff repeatedly raised questions about alleged
collusion between Moscow and members of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Here are four serious problems with
Schiff's charges, which include wild conspiracy theories and heavy reliance on a questionable source: [...]
The
Left Distorts Originalism to Attack Judge Gorsuch. This morning, Senator Dianne Feinstein fresh from lecturing
Neil Gorsuch on the novel constitutional concept of "super precedent" purported to attack Judge Gorsuch's legal philosophy
by reading a question from a law-school dean: [...] Note what happened here. Feinstein's dean went straight from a
quote to a straw man, fundamentally mischaracterizing Scalia and originalist jurisprudence in one consequential
sentence. First, Scalia's consistent position wasn't that the equal-protection clause offered "no protection" to women
or gays, but rather that it did not offer special or extraordinary protection. For example, here he was dissenting in
Romer v. Evans, a decision that struck down a Colorado constitutional amendment prohibiting local governments from
outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation:
Woman
Who Blamed Benghazi Attack On YouTube Video Says Trump White House 'Twists The Truth'. Remember Susan Rice? She's the woman the
Obama administration rushed out to no less than five Sunday news shows after the Benghazi terror attack to blame it all on a YouTube video. It
was a complete lie and this woman has no credibility at all. Now she's attacking the Trump White House over truthfulness.
Susan
Rice Lectures Trump About Making False Statements. The Obama administration official who misled the American
public on national television about the Benghazi attacks is out with a new op-ed lecturing President Trump about contorting
"the facts." Writing at The Washington Post, Susan Rice, the national security advisor under Obama, chastised Trump for
his claims in recent weeks that the Obama administration wiretapped his offices during the presidential campaign.
Donna
Brazile finally admits she shared debate questions with Clinton campaign. Veteran Democratic operative Donna
Brazile finally admitted that she used her former position as a CNN commentator to relay questions ahead of debates to
Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary. For months, Brazile has avoided confirming that hacked emails from the
campaign showed her forwarding the questions, which were asked at separate debates. But in a new essay for Time
magazine looking back on the hackings, she said it was true. "[I]n October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that
among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and [Democratic National Committee] Vice Chair prior to
assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign," she said.
Pepper Spray
Illegal in Sweden. In a report on the state of crime problems plaguing Sweden, Katie Hopkins reported that
pepper spray was illegal, because your rapist might be hurt. [...] Reality always wins, one way or another. Either the
Swedish Democrats will win at the ballot box, or the problems will continue to get worse. All over the Western world,
false political constructs about reality are being toppled. Some of those constructs: People are the
same all over the world. People are basically good. People's motivations are all, at
base, economic. The use of force is always wrong. War is never legitimate.
Devastating
Proof of Media Bias: New York Times Airbrushes Away Democrat's Embarrassing False Claim Without a Trace.
Jay Caruso noted that Senator Claire McCaskill had claimed early today never to have met with a Russian ambassador: [Tweet]
Then undeniable documentary and photographic evidence emerged that she had. I bet she wishes she could just airbrush that initial
tweet from history — like it never happened. Kinda like the New York Times did today with her claim.
They reported it — and then, when they figured out it was wrong, they simply vanished it.
Democrats
Attack Trump For Enforcing Their Own Immigration Law. The deportation rules announced this week by Department
of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly were greeted with the expected outrage from the usual suspects. But since
when is enforcing the law a crime? In this case, the law that Kelly plans to enforce is the 1965 Immigration and
Nationality Act, which was approved by 52 Democrats in the Senate and 202 Democrats in the House in a Democrat-controlled
Congress and was signed into law by President Johnson, a Democrat. That hasn't stopped today's Democrats from decrying
the DHS memo as obscene and horribly un-American.
Maxine Waters
Says [Some Peculiar] Things. Here are some of the unusual things Waters has said since the election: •
1. She didn't know the name of Trump's chief of staff. "Let me just say this, Mike Preibus..." •
2. When she told reporters that Russia invaded Korea. "The fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is
continuing to advance into Korea." •
3. When she called Trump and his aides a bunch of 'scumbags.' "This is a bunch of scumbags. That's what they are." •
4. Waters revealed her greatest desire. "And my greatest desire is to lead him right into impeachment." •
5. She referred to Trump as a dictator. "People are not gonna take this new president who thinks he's a dictator."
Washington
is boiling. Here's why. [Scroll down] The fake-news phenomenon also made its way to Congress,
highlighted by then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) outlandish statements on the Senate floor that
then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes. It was patently false, and Reid knew it, but he did it
anyway, later saying it was "one of the best things" he had ever done. The Democrats led the charge to bring fake news
and alternative facts into the mainstream, and the only reason they're upset about it now is because in 2016, fake news
worked against them.
Zionist
Group Demands Pelosi Retract Slander Against Bannon. The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), a prominent
pro-Israel group, is calling on Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to retract her recent comments calling White House chief
strategist and former Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon a "white supremacist." "ZOA urges U.S. House
Minority Leader Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to retract her defamatory, ugly and erroneous name calling of Senior
Presidential Strategist Stephen Bannon," the organization wrote in a press release. "It is beneath the dignity of her
office, and sets a very bad example for the nation, for her to engage in name-calling — especially when she hurls
attacks that are baseless and untrue," the press release said.
Senate
Democrats' misleading language on a 60-vote 'standard' for Supreme Court nominees. In the looming battle over
President Trump's nomination of Gorsuch to be a Supreme Court justice, Schumer avoided a few Pinocchios when he quickly
returned to the floor and took back his earlier statement that Republicans "insisted" that President Barack Obama's nominees
required 60 votes. But you can see, in Durbin's remarks, the slippery language that Democrats use to give the
impression that achieving 60 votes is some sort of Senate "standard." Even in his amended remarks, Schumer
went on to say "60 votes is the right standard for this nominee."
Famous
Berkeley Prof Suggests That Violent Protesters At Milo Event Were Right-Wing Plants. Robert Reich, the Labor Secretary
under Bill Clinton and a Berkeley professor, suggested on Thursday, contrary to all evidence, that right-wing groups staged the
violence that shut down a Milo Yiannopoulos event that was to be hosted on the liberal university campus on Wednesday [2/1/2017].
Brzezinski:
Trump Won EV 'Fair and Square' — But He's Not 'Completely Elected By the People'. On Friday's [1/28/2017] broadcast of
MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-anchor Mika Brzezinski argued that while President Donald Trump won the Electoral vote fairly, "this is a president who
lost to Hillary Clinton... I think there's a lot of support he still needs to gain. It's not a president completely elected by the people."
Pelosi:
Democrats Do 'the Lord's Work,' Republicans 'Dishonor God'. In yet another example of moral narcissism and the
liberal inability to understand conservative positions on faith, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared that her party,
the Democratic Party, does the will of God while Republicans dishonor their Creator. Of Republicans, the Democrat
congresswoman from California declared, "They pray in church on Sunday and they prey on people the rest of the week.
And while we're doing the Lord's work, ministering to the needs of God's creation, they are ignoring those needs which is to
dishonor the God who made them."
The Editor says...
It's always refreshing to listen to a rabidly pro-abortion socialist preaching about matters of faith.
The World
Turned Upside Down. In the media's now radically amended progressive dictionary, Senate filibusters are no longer
subversive, but quite vital. Executive orders are no longer inspired, but dangerous. Bypassing Congress on treaties
and overseas interventions, or refusal to enforce existing laws, is no longer presidential leadership. If Trump follows
Obama's example of presidential fiats, he will be recalibrated as seditious. Protests against a sitting president are
no longer near treasonous, but patriotic. Media collusion with the president is no longer natural, but unprofessional
and dishonest. Cruel invective against the president and his family is no longer racist, but inspired.
Sounds like projection.
Maxine
Waters's ridiculous claim that Betsy DeVos 'has never seen the inside of a classroom'. Some of the speakers at
the Women's March on Washington repeated some dubious nostrums we have debunked in the past, such as statistics on equal
pay. But this comment jumped out at us. Waters, reading from a prepared text, made these comments in the course
of attacking a number of President Trump's Cabinet picks. For instance, she charged that Sen. Jeff Sessions
(R-Ala.), the nominee for attorney general, has a "history of racism" — a claim that he disputes and that we have
explored. But this attack seemed new: Betsy DeVos, the nominee for secretary of education, has never seen the
inside of a classroom?
Our
Addiction to Kompromat. Russia has two exports: energy and kompromat. Since energy isn't nearly as
valuable as it was a decade ago, Putin has increased Russia's production of kompromat to compensate. So far, he's been
fairly successful with this, but for an unexpected reason. What is kompromat? Kompromat is any material that can be
used to discredit, mislead, blackmail, coerce, or confuse a targeted person or entity. This material spans the gamut, from
a leaked sex video to a financial document proving corruption. In short, any material can be used as long as it is
effective at damaging an opponent.
Pelosi blames Bush for $9 trillion
in debt added under Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blamed former President George W. Bush and the
Republicans on Friday [1/13/2017] for the more than $9 trillion that has been added to the national debt under President Obama's
watch. Pelosi argued that under Obama, the annual budget deficit, which contributes to the national debt, has been reduced
dramatically, and said that without Obama's work, the national debt would be even higher. She also mostly blamed Bush for
not paying for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Reaction to the article above: Nancy Pelosi and the
Big Lie. Every word Nancy Pelosi utters is a lie, all conjunctions and articles included. President Bush
submitted a budget for fiscal year 2009, which included a projected deficit of a way-too-high $407.4 billion. However, the
Congress, then under control of the Democrats, with Mrs Pelosi serving as the Speaker of the House, declined to pass President Bush's
budget. Rather, after the end of FY 2008 on September 30, 2008, Congress funded the federal government through the
mechanisms of continuing resolutions, rather than normal budgeting and appropriations.
Huffington
Post Contributor: Hillary Clinton's Failure to Win Even 20 States Means She Is 'Legitimate President-Elect'. Failed
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's inability to win even 20 of America's 50 states means she is the "legitimate
president-elect," a contributor to the off-the-rails progressive blog Huffington Post wrote. "Hillary Clinton is the Legitimate
President-Elect," reads the headline on the Huffington Post for a piece from "political writer and commentator" Alex Mohajer.

The Histrionics of a Fraud.
[In Cory] Booker's time as mayor Newark went from 67 murders in 2008, a decline from 105 in 2006, to 112 killings in
2013, the year after he left office. Booker never presided over an unemployment rate in the single digits. And he
laid off 163 policemen amid budget deficits his mismanagement produced. [...] That's Booker. All show, no substance
and a tenuous connection to reality. What he knows is how to present the media with a fraudulent story that masks his
incompetence. Criticize his ability to fight crime and he'll tell you about T-Bone, a drug dealer of his acquaintance
who wants him dead. But T-Bone is a figment of his imagination. There is no T-Bone.
Twenty Non-Questions on Campus.
Merriam-Webster defines dogma as "a belief or set of beliefs that is accepted by the members of a group without being questioned or doubted."
On too many college campuses, certain beliefs are promoted just that dogmatically. Students are not allowed to challenge them. [...] Those
beliefs are: • There is a campus rape culture that encourages the sexual assault of women.
• A woman accusing a man of rape has vastly more credibility than a man who claims his innocence.
• The earth is getting dramatically warmer due to human activity, and altering that activity can stop or slow this trend.
• Israeli settlers and the Israeli government are as bad as or worse than Palestinian terrorists.
• Fundamentalist Christians are morally the same as Muslim terrorists.
• Any military action in the Middle East creates more problems than it solves.
• Criticizing Islam as a religion of terrorism is an example of Islamophobia.
• Religious freedom is less important than acceptance of sexual minorities.
• Society would generally be better off if traditional religion disappeared.
• Marriage between those of the same sex should be seen as the same as marriage between those of different sexes.
• Trans women (men who identify as women) should be allowed to use the same facilities as biological women.
• The physical differences between men and women play no role in economic disparities between them.
• A woman has a right to an abortion for whatever reason she chooses.
• Black men are targeted by the police.
• Anti-Hispanic racism is an important part of what motivates those who oppose immigration reform.
• President Obama has been criticized more than previous presidents because of his race.
• Raising taxes on the wealthy will improve our economy.
• Political conservatives are either greedy manipulators exploiting the marginalized, or sincere dupes voting against their own economic interests.
• There is little if any correlation between hard work and economic success.
• The United States is more damaging to the world than other western industrialized nations.
Bob
Baer: If Russian Hacking Story is Political "there should be a criminal investigation". For the past
several days we have been discussing the Deep State shadow war within the various intelligence agencies. The
larger issues have been building for a long time. CIA Director John Brennan and DNI head James Clapper, both took
politicization of intelligence to new levels to accommodate the White House. It is not accidental that both of these
names are the primary voices behind the "Russian Hacking Conspiracy".
Judge Garland and
the Left's Disdain for Truth. The mainstream media — that is, the liberal media — share
all the views and characteristics of the left. Among these is the left's view of truth. There are honest individuals with
left-wing views, and dishonest individuals on the right. But truth is not a leftist value. Everything the left believes in
is more important than truth: social justice, economic equality, reducing carbon emissions, expanding the power of the state, battling
sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, and above all of these, destroying its conservative opposition.
Liberal Logic.
If a man says he's Napoleon Bonaparte, he needs help, but if he says he's a woman he's perfectly sane and if anyone refuses
to go along with him he's being oppressed. If 97% of scientists say that man made global warming is real anyone who
disagrees should be put in prison. When 100% of scientists say that human life begins at conception it has nothing to
do with abortion. If Russia publishes true facts about Hillary it's foreign interference in our election. If
illegals, i.e. foreigners, vote in our election it's a good thing. Clubbing a baby seal to death is evil.
Dismembering an unborn human girl without anesthetic is a societal good. Getting water to California's central valley
farmers isn't as important as protecting the delta smelt. It's okay if wind turbines kill 4200 bald eagles each
year. Saying all lives matter is racist. Saying only black lives matter is not.
Gaslighting
and the Left's War on Reality. In politics, the word "gaslighting" is increasingly used to describe the left's
efforts to push a false view of reality and to convince mainstream Americans that their common-sense views are somehow
extreme. For example, on a recent edition of Varney & Co., Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said the Obama
administration's portrayal of Israel as our enemy and Iran as nothing to worry about could be described as "gaslighting."
Bill Whittle's popular video Gaslighting exposed the left's use of the gaslighting tactic to spread false information
about issues such as Benghazi and Obamacare. Note that gaslighting is a far more insidious tactic than political
spin. Spin merely attempts to shift the interpretation of a real situation by presenting it in a different light.
Gaslighting presents a completely false alternative to reality and is intended to erode the confidence of the target in his
or her own perception.
Trump
spokesman says there's still 'zero evidence' Russia influenced presidential election with alleged hacking spree. A top Donald Trump
spokesman insisted Monday [1/2/2017] that there is still 'zero evidence' America's presidential election was swayed by a series of computer hacks
attributed to the Russian government. The U.S. intelligence community appears to be closing in on a conclusion that Moscow directed hackers
to penetrate and steal documents from the Democratic National Committee this year. Democrats also claim Russians hacked into Hillary Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta's email account.
'Not enough data to show Russian link to
election' — Wordfence CEO. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s claims that Russia hacked the 2016 US election
are based on flimsy evidence, says security expert Mark Maunder. On December 29, the DHS and the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence (DNI) released a Joint Analysis Report (JAR) put together by the DHS and the FBI that blames Russia for hacking the US presidential
election in an operation which they nicknamed GRIZZLY STEPPE. Among other things, the report cites the presence of PHP malware as one of
the clues pointing to Russian involvement.
What's
Behind Mysterious 'Disclaimer' on Top of DHS/FBI Big Russia Hacking Report. Many have noticed that on top of the Joint Report issued on Thursday
[12/29/2016] by the FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security on the Russian hacks, there is a very peculiar thing: A disclaimer stating that "The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within." Some have speculated that
the disclaimer is evidence that the federal government won't stand by their findings. WikiLeaks drew even more attention to this detail by tweeting out
a picture of the disclaimer, which was subsequently retweeted more than 7 thousand times.
Assange
says he is '1,000% confident' that Russia was NOT the source for hacked Democratic emails which were published by
WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said Barack Obama is 'trying to delegitimize the Trump
administration' by claiming the Russian government hacked Democrats' emails during the bitter presidential election.
Assange, whose interview with Sean Hannity will air on Fox News tonight, also reiterated his claims that Russia was not the
source of the hacks. He told Hannity 'with a thousand percent' confidence that the Russian government were not
responsible for emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman.
Extremist Christmas Wishes — White Genocide
vs Fascist Ethno-State. The same philosophy behind those promoting White Genocide are actually promoting
genocide for all non-Whites. The same can be said of anything uttered by The Media. Whatever they tell us in
their newspapers, magazines, websites and TV programs, the exact opposite is true. Obama said he was going to make
healthcare cheaper, the price went up! If Hillary said she had permission to use a private email server, she surely
didn't. If Democrats want to lower taxes on the Middle Class or create jobs, they actually intend to raise taxes and
kill jobs. You do not have to go very far to see what I am talking about.
Harry
Reid Says He 'Did What Was Necessary' By Lying About Mitt Romney's Tax Returns. Outgoing Senate Minority Leader
Harry Reid said Wednesday that he "did what was necessary" in 2012 when he falsely accused Mitt Romney of not having paid his
taxes for 10 years. Reid was asked about those comments, which he made during a speech on the Senate floor, in response
to call during a live interview on Las Vegas' KNPR. The caller asked Reid if he thought that "the brazen lie he told about
Mitt Romney not pay his taxes has in anyway contributed to the fake news debate that we now find ourselves in." Reid, who
is leaving the Senate next month, denied the accusation. But he offered up a flimsy and fact-devoid defense of those
2012 claims.
Warning
to Democrats: The rules have changed. Weeks after the election, they still don't get it. We still
hear the litany of worn out excuses, such as "We didn't get our message out." The Russians did it. The FBI did
it. Bernie supporters betrayed us. Blacks did not vote. The election was stolen. Hillary won the
popular vote (albeit with massive voter fraud, of which Detroit is only the tip of the iceberg with its 120-percent voter
turnout in many Democrat precincts). [...] After decades of indoctrination in the public schools and universities, a
population of newly minted liberals has filled the big cities and the coasts, feeling entitled to win elections, even when
they don't vote. Merely disagreeing with them incites them to anger, sometimes to violence. Thus, they rarely
if ever hear what we conservatives have to say.
Snopes
Deliberately Omits Key Details To Protect Kerry's State Dept. A Snopes.com article attempting to discredit a

This
Insane Interview Between Newsweek Writer Eichenwald and Tucker Carlson Goes OFF THE RAILS. Thursday
[12/15/2016], Newsweek journalist Kurt Eichenwald appeared on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight to talk about
his unsubstantiated accusations that Donald Trump was on amphetamine derivatives, and had a nervous breakdown in 1990.
Within seconds, the interview began to go off the rails. Carlson asked Eichenwald if he had any evidence to
substantiate a tweet he sent on September 13, 2016, which reads: "I believe Trump was institutionalized in a mental
hospital for a nervous breakdown in 1990, which is why he won't release his medical records." The tweet was deleted
shortly after it was posted, but not before numerous screenshots were taken. Eichenwald never substantiated his claim
regarding Trump, and on Thursday, Carlson tried to get to the bottom of it: [...]
Michael
Moore: Trump 'Has No Right To Enter' White House. On Friday's [12/16/2016] broadcast of MSNBC's "All In,"
filmmaker Michael Moore argued that President-Elect Donald Trump "has no right" to enter the White House. Moore called
for "protesting, obstructing, disrupting, civil disobedience."
Sorry,
Democrats, But Putin Didn't Steal The U.S. Election For Trump. The FBI says there's no evidence the Russians
affected the outcome. The office of the Director of National Intelligence — which governs all 17 U.S. spy
agencies — says there's no evidence. Department of Homeland Security says there's no evidence.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch says there's no evidence. [Indeed], even President Obama admits there's no evidence that
Russian hacking cost the Democrats the election.
Now
the White House is Claiming China Hacked the Election. In a not-too-subtle attempt to de-ligitimize Donald
Trump's presidency, current president Barack Obama worked the liberals into a frenzy with allegations that the Russian
government hacked the election, robbing Hillary Clinton of her rightful place. This story is so bullshit that even the
White House can't keep it straight. Today press secretary Josh Earnest actually said it was the Chinese who hacked our
election.
Democrats
and the Power of Delusion. Two things are remarkable about this story. Three, if you include the part
where Joe Trippi has it almost exactly right. The first is how hard Democrats cling to the popular vote story, while
also nodding their heads when Rep. Keith Ellison says, "Democrats win when we harness the power of everyday people and
fight for the issues they care about." Sorry, Dems — but you only get to choose one. Either your party
failed to address the issues people care about, or you did address them but got cheated out of the White House by that
tricksy Electoral College. But watch now as they try to have it both ways.
Wag the Dog 2016. Can you believe
these idiots are so desperate to cover up the incompetence of a miserably bad candidate? How stupid do you have to be
to risk conflict with Russia rather than concede the election? There is absolutely no evidence that the Russians did
anything. Even their claims that Russia hacked the DNC and Podesta's emails are not substantiated by anyone.
The Incredible,
Spineless Hillary Clinton. I'm pretty sure I heard Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
promise — not once, but several times over the course of many months — that she would accept the
results of the 2016 presidential election. I then seem to recall that after her loss to Donald Trump, she followed
through on that promise. "We must accept this result and then look to the future," she said (or did she?). "Donald
Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead." But I find that hard to
reconcile with what I've seen since then: namely, Clinton and her campaign doing everything in their power to delegitimize
Trump's victory and work towards getting the results of the election overturned.
10
Ways the CIA's 'Russian Hacking' Story is Left-Wing 'Fake News'. On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-KY) pledged to support a congressional investigation into whether Russian hacking affected the 2016
election. Republicans have nothing to fear from such an investigation, because they won the election fair and
square. No, Russia is not the friend that President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent
several years pretending it was. But the idea that Russian hackers coronated Trump is only the latest left-wing
opiate — after white supremacists and "fake news" — designed to dull the pain of electoral defeat, and
postpone the reckoning that must occur if Democrats are to pose a significant threat as an opposition party at any time in
the near future.
The
war on 'fake news' is all about censoring real news. Scrambling for an explanation for Donald Trump's victory,
many in the media and on the left have settled on the idea that his supporters were consumers of "fake news" —
gullible rubes living in an alternate reality made Trump president. To be sure, there is such a thing as actual fake news:
made-up stories built to get Facebook traction before they can be debunked. But that's not what's really going on here.
What the left is trying to do is designate anything outside its ideological bubble as suspect on its face.
Mook:
No, Obama didn't tell Hillary to concede. No? That's not what Amie Parnes writes in her upcoming book, a
story that has been percolating for more than a week without a denial. Yesterday [12/4/2016], Hillary Clinton campaign
manager Robby Mook finally disputed it when Jake Tapper mentioned it, telling CNN's State of the Union host that he
needed to do "a little fact-checking there." [...] Mook's "fact check" sounds more like self-serving revisionism.
Anti-Semite
charge bounces off Trump and sticks to Democrats. For months, Democrats have been taking shots at Donald Trump
and his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, formerly the CEO of Breitbart.com, as notorious anti-Semites, people who hate
Jews. This is so bizarre that it needs to be confronted publicly rather than ignored.
Sarah
Silverman Admits She Made Up a Wage-Gap Story, Then Calls Critics 'Maniacs'. Comedian Sarah Silverman admitted
that a story she told about wage discrimination (in which she even went so far as to call out a specific employer by name)
was a lie — and then said people who might consider her lie a reason to question the movement she was supporting
were "maniacs." In an April 6 wage-discrimination-activism video for Levo League, Silverman accused New York Comedy
Club owner Al Martin of having paid her less than a male comic for doing the same work: [...] Just one problem: That didn't
actually happen.

Fake News Stories from the Mainstream Media. [For example,] Dateline NBC rigs a truck to explode:
In 1993, NBC News delivered a historic public apology for staging the test crash of a General Motors pickup truck for the
Dateline NBC program. The reporters wanted to demonstrate that gas could leak from the truck's fuel tank and
cause a dangerous fire after a crash, so they rigged it with explosives. [...] Dateline NBC was far from the only
example of dubious product-safety reporting. It wasn't even the first time a vehicle was rigged to explode for a major
network consumer report.
Shameless
Schumer Lies About Supreme Court Filibuster. Three years ago, when Senate Democrats abolished the filibuster
for lower-court and executive-branch nominees, they left it in place for Supreme Court nominees. According to the raw
MSNBC transcript of his press conference today, incoming Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is now claiming that Senate Democrats
"did not change the rules for [the] supreme court because we thought on something as important as this there should be some
degree of bipartisan agreement."
Five
Things to Know About the Steve Bannon Smears. [#2] Attacks on Bannon Are Alinskyite: The attacks on Steve Bannon are
straight out of the Left's bible of "community organizing," Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. We're seeing radical leftists
doing what leftists do, and just because some #NeverTrumpers are participating doesn't change the tactic's pedigree. Alinsky advocated
"personalizing" disputes and "destroying" the targets. Truth didn't matter. That's why you are hearing nasty — and
false — branding of Bannon as a racist or anti-Semite.
Dennis
Prager: Claims of Antisemitism Against Bannon are 'Libel'. Nationally syndicated radio talk show host
Dennis Prager called accusations of antisemitism against Stephen K. Bannon "libel" on Wednesday. Prager, who is Jewish
and wrote a highly respected book about antisemitism, was sharply critical of the campaign against Bannon, who is on leave as
Executive Chairman of Breitbart News, and who was named Sunday by President-elect Donald J. Trump to be Chief Strategist and
Senior Counselor in the White House. "Calling Steve Bannon an antisemite is a witch-hunt ... It's just a libel, it's
fabricated, the whole thing is fabricated," Prager said.
There Is No Violent
Hate-Crime Wave in 'Trump's America'. [Scroll down] And an alleged incident of a gay man named Chris Ball
getting beaten up by Trump supporters in Santa Monica on election night seems to have not happened the way it was initially
recounted, if the incident even happened at all. The Santa Monica Police Department posted a message to Facebook
Thursday saying that neither the department nor city officials had "received any information indicating this crime occurred
in the City of Santa Monica" and "a check of local hospitals revealed there was no victim of any such incident admitted or
treated." Other instances of "Trump inspired" violence and vandalism have also turned out to be hoaxes or misinterpretations.
Stephanopoulos
Frets to RNC Chair: 'Rise in Racist Acts' Since Trump Win. With left-wing anti-Trump protesters rioting in
cities across the country, on Friday's [11/11/2016] Good Morning America, co-host George Stephanopoulos laid
responsibility for quelling the unrest at the feet of the Republican President-Elect and worried that his victory was
inciting the violence.
Sidney
Blumenthal: 'Right-Wing' FBI Agents Took Down Hillary In A 'Coup D'Etat'. Longtime Clinton insider Sidney
Blumenthal claims that a group of "right-wing agents" in the FBI staged a coup d'etat to prevent Hillary Clinton from behind
elected president. Blumenthal, a former journalist who has been nicknamed "Grassy Knoll" by some in Clintonworld
because of his tendency to latch on to conspiracy theories, made the charge in an interview on Dutch television after
Clinton's loss to Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton:
Trayvon Martin Only 'Bought a Pack of Skittles and Walked Back Home in the Rain'. Hillary Clinton is pushing
gun control by describing Trayvon Martin as a young man who simply "went to a cornerstore, bought a pack of skittles..and his
life was cut short" by gun violence. In reality, a jury found that George Zimmerman shot Martin to death in
self-defense on February 26, 2012, after Martin attacked Zimmerman during his walk back from the corner store.
Moreover, a subsequent federal inquiry into the shooting death of Martin also found no grounds upon which to bring charges
against Zimmerman for his actions. Yet Clinton described Martin as an innocent bystander, killed by random gun violence.
Democrats
go low in campaign against Gianforte. If you wondered why it is so hard to get quality candidates to run for
public office, you don't just have to look at the food fight that is the 2016 presidential election campaign. Sure,
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton get most of the attention, but there are examples in our own state that are just as
bad. Take the incessant ads claiming that Republican Greg Gianforte supports a sales tax. Gianforte, a Bozeman
businessman, is running for governor against incumbent Gov. Steve Bullock, and despite the attack ads claiming
otherwise, Gianforte is running on a platform of opposing a Montana sales tax.
Wikileaks'
Emails Validated in Routine Tests, As Democrats Try to Discredit Revelations. A digital key buried in the
emails sent by Hillary Clinton's staff shows that many of the most important emails released via Wikileaks have not been
modified or falsified, according to a series of tests conducted by security experts and by Breitbart News. The tests
are important because they undermine efforts by Democrats to deter media coverage of the Wikileaks emails with vague claims
that the messages cannot be verified, or could be faked, or modified. So far, those claims have been made by Donna
Brazile, the interim head of the Democratic National Committee, and by Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's choice for her
vice-president.
Rotten to the Core. Our readers already know
about the debate question current DNC chair Donna Brazile got from CNN in advance — a revelation that Brazile,
when later asked about it by Megyn Kelly of Fox News, certifiably beclowned herself. Brazile then claimed the emails in
question were doctored, which like virtually everything else she says is a provable lie.
Tim
Kaine: 'Spanish Was the Language of Our Country Before English'. In an interview on the Spanish-language show
"Noticias Telemundo," Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, the Democrat nominee for vice president, said that Spanish was the language
of America before English. Kaine has often given speeches in Spanish, and on Sunday [10/16/2016] he gave a sermon entirely
in Spanish at Pneuma Church in Miami, Fla. "Latino culture is one of the most important things in our country right now
because we have had Hispanic roots since the beginning. ... Spanish was the language of our country before English," Kaine
told Telemundo host José D'az-Balart on Monday, according to a translated transcript.
The Editor says...
In what language was the Constitution written? In what language was the Constitution debated before it was finalized? In what language was
the Declaration of Independence written? Name one member of Congress in the 18th or 19th centuries whose primary language was something other than
English. When has the government of the United States conducted its official business in any language other than English?
Texas
Rigged? Reports Of Voting Machines Switching Votes To Hillary In Texas. [Scroll down] Obviously,
the desired effect of such actions isn't to create a warm and fuzzy feeling for the Hillary campaign over polling data that
they know is false. Rather, the intent is to use artificial polls, like the ABC / WaPo poll released over the weekend
showing a ridiculous 12-point national lead for Hillary, to suppress the republican vote by convincing opposition voters that
the race is already over. Of course, another way that democrats have attempted to "maximize what they get out of their
media" this election cycle is by combining rigged polling data with reports from liberal newspapers, like this one from the
Washington Post, suggesting that the election is such a blowout that typical republican strongholds, like Texas, are actually
in play.
Debunking the Vicious False
Narratives against Donald Trump. By now, every voter knows that the mainstream media is in the pocket of
Hillary Clinton but many do not know the extent of the malpractice in journalism today. The MSM has successfully
embedded in the minds of the voters false narratives that need to be exposed out of just plain common decency. The
three I will address in this piece are the charges that Trump mocked a disabled reporter; that he questioned the Mexican
American's legitimacy to handle his court case because of his race, and that he mocked a Gold Star family. There are
many more.
Michael
Moore: Trump Voters Are 'Legal Terrorists'. Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore said in a recent interview
that Donald Trump voters are "legal terrorist[s]" and that society should treat the Republican presidential candidate as it
would a pedophile. Moore made the provocative remarks in an interview with Rolling Stone while pitching a new documentary,
"Michael Moore in Trumpland." Moore said he went to union halls for the film and met with longtime Democrats who are
considering voting for Trump in November. His goal, he said, was to force them "to think about the damage they could
do by being a legal terrorist on November 8th."
The Editor says...
It takes a special kind of paranoia to compare voting to an act of terrorism. Legitimate voting (as opposed to
voting more than once, voting under someone else's name, and voting while dead) is one of the most peaceful, honorable and
orderly ways to participate in government.
The
"Fact" That 17 Intelligence Agencies Confirmed Russia is Behind the Email Hacks Isn't Actually a "Fact".
[Scroll down] As I also covered yesterday, Glenn Greenwald exhaustively back-traced where the 'Russia-hacked-the-election'
meme came from and that it was pure spin. The original author who set the entire farce in motion later admitted it was
all a mistake, and in his own 'Mea Culpa' revealed that according to the subtext of extensive emails from a Newsweek reporter
pressuring him to allow the lie to live, it was US intelligence agencies pushing to spread this narrative. The
"17 agencies that actually confirmed" it was the Russians? Well it turns out that was one guy, namely DCI James
Clapper: the head of US intelligence. The same man who committed perjury before congress after his NSA
surveillance program was leaked.
Woman
Backtracks on Assault Claim After O'Keefe Video. A woman who accused a Donald Trump supporter of punching her
outside a Trump rally in North Carolina is backtracking after James O'Keefe and Project Veritas released video showing
Democrat operatives claiming she was a trained activist. 69-year-old Shirley Teter of Asheville now says it is possible
that 73-year-old Richard L. Campbell merely touched her accidentally, as his attorney had claimed all along.
Podesta: All
You Need is a Driver's License to Vote. A discussion between Hillary Clinton's campaign advisers about voter
registration laws led to a remarkable quip made by John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman. "On the picture ID, the
one thing I have thought of in that space is that if you show up on Election Day with a driver's license with a picture,
attest that you are a citizen, you have a right to vote in federal elections," said Podesta. The email was made public
on Wednesday by WikiLeaks. Podesta's Gmail was hacked and 50,000 emails sent to WikiLeaks, which has steadily been
releasing the emails every day since Oct. 7.
Limbaugh:
'Ironic That The Democrat Party Wants to Throw Down the Morality Card'. The release of an 11-year-old videotape
in which Donald Trump speaks in vulgar terms about trying to seduce women has prompted outrage among Democrats, some
Republicans, and the liberal media, but it's hard to believe they're really offended, Rush Limbaugh said on Monday
[10/10/2016]. "You know, I find it ironic that the Democrat Party wants to throw down the morality card. The
Democrat Party, which is responsible for the dissolution of morality in this country. The Democrat Party, which is for
all these progressive new attitudes in our culture, and now all of a sudden acting like a bunch of prudes, [...]"
Activist Shaun King resorts to bullying after
students ask tough questions during campus talk. Activist Shaun King visited Columbia University on Monday to
speak to students about social justice and police brutality, yet refused to tolerate questions from students who asked
difficult questions, one of which included stats showing cops kill more whites than blacks. [...] During the question-and-answer
period, I challenged King by prefacing my statement with the fact that, in 2015, white people were six to seven times more
likely to be shot than unarmed black people, citing statistics reported in The Washington Post. Although I still
had not even finished asking my question, King immediately told me to "stop talking" and that this was "a lie." As
I attempted to tell him where I got this statistic from, King refused to engage with me. I was then told to sit down by

Says Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist After 19 Dead People Register to Vote. Yesterday [9/29/2016] we learned that
non-citizen Cascade Mall shooter terrorist Arcan Cetin voted in 3 elections and now we find out that 19 dead people
registered to vote in Virginia. Despite this irrefutable evidence democrats insist that voter fraud is completely
imaginary. In fact one Virginia State Senator confronted with the fraud in his own state says flatly that voter
fraud doesn't exist.
Fake
news websites designed to fool conservatives. This is a compilation of fake, hoax, and satirical websites from
several sources (listed at the bottom of this article.) Some websites are malicious and some innocuous, but all of them can
and do regularly fool many into believing their "news" is real. All of these websites are aimed at conservatives, and
designed to get them to believe and then promulgate false information.
Hillary's
Pneumonia Hokum: A Timeline. [Scroll down] Some of the dinosaur media have reported that Hillary "stumbled at the curb" and
"fell into the van." Others reported that she "fainted." This shows the extremely low quality of "journalism" today,
describing things that just didn't happen, as you can see for yourself in the video. Hillary didn't "stumble";she buckled
at the knees. She didn't "faint" (lose consciousness and go limp). Hillary herself says she didn't faint, and for once
she might be telling the truth, because the video shows that she was apparently awake but immobile. She was having a seizure
of some kind.
Dear
Media: Please Stop Calling Violent Rioters 'Protesters'. Watching coverage of the unrest in Charlotte,
North Carolina last night, I was struck by a common trend in how the most violent acts were being covered. [...] Looting a
Wal-Mart, destruction of property, attempted murder, all carried out by... "protesters." [...] I suppose you could make a
convoluted argument about how the protests were against white supremacy, and capitalism and the media are agents of white
supremacy, therefore attacking those institutions are acts of "protest" or whatever. But if even violent attempted
murder and destruction of property can be a "protest" so long as the motives are political, I don't see why the same can't
be said of, say, a terrorist attack.
NAACP
Leader on Keith Scott Shooting: 'It Really Doesn't Matter If He Had a Gun'. A local NAACP leader told CNN's Carol Costello Thursday
[9/22/2016] that it didn't actually matter whether or not black Charlotte man Keith Scott had a gun on him when he was shot and killed by police.
Scott's death led to protests and violence for the past two days, after his family reported that he was holding a book when he died. Charlotte
police have called that false, saying that police body camera footage shows he was brandishing a gun and that they recovered a weapon from the
scene. But the president of the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP Corine Mack said ultimately it didn't matter.
Harry
Reid: 'Obamacare Has Been Terrific for This Country'. The Senate's leading Democrat continues to support the
Affordable Care Act, which is becoming increasingly unaffordable for many Americans. "Obamacare has been terrific for
this country," Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told a news conference on Wednesday [9/7/2016].
No,
the Constitution Is Not Racist, Sexist, or Outdated. In an interview with Breitbart News, noted Heritage
Foundation constitutional expert David Azerrad tackles some prominent myths about the Constitution — falsehoods
that are being propagated in America's classrooms and on its college campuses. The director of the Heritage
Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics, Azerrad observes, "Many of the myths have just
permeated the culture to a point where people just take it as a matter of fact."
Brown
University Providing Tampons in Men's Bathrooms Because 'Both Sexes Menstruate'. Tampons are now a genderless
necessity, according to Brown University, who have announced that they will be providing tampons for both men's and women's
bathrooms across the university this academic year. The tampons will be delivered to bathrooms by the university's
student president, Viet Nguyen, as well as 20 volunteers, with Nguyen claiming the initiative is a means of educating
students that men menstruate as well as women.
Threats
of a Russian Election Hack a Mere Smoke Screen by Democrats for Power Grab. The Democrats are now playing the
Russia card. As Donald Trump rises in the polls against an increasingly unpopular Hillary Clinton, Democrats are
raising the specter of the nefarious Vladimir Putin. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's famous Russian relations
reset was a bust, but we are supposed to trust her to handle Putin in the future. More important, the Democrats are sowing
grounds to challenge the election, relying on their unnatural ability to squeeze, as if by magic, extra votes from the courtroom.
The Ugly Truth
Of Leftist "Heroes". [Scroll down to Nelson Mandela] The reality: Most people assume this grandfatherly
teddy bear was a political prisoner; jailed only for protesting apartheid. Instead, he was a terrorist jailed for a
bomb plot, yet he's been bestowed a ridiculous number of honors including the Nobel Peace Prize and the Lenin Peace
Prize. Despite pleading guilty to 156 charges, the government later offered to free him if he renounced violence, but
this "man of peace" refused. Other than that, he was a closet Communist. After he assumed power, he fumbled the
ball on the AIDS issue, leaving South Africa with one of the world's worst infection rates. Also, beginning with his
administration, the New, Improved South Africa went from being an industrialized country to a crime-ridden Third World hellhole.
Black
lies matter. The Black Lives Matter movement has been feted repeatedly at the White House and honored at the
Democratic National Convention. Hillary Clinton has incorporated its claims about racist, homicidal cops into her
presidential campaign pitch. [...] Yet the Black Lives Matter movement is based on a lie, and not just the lie that a pacific
Michael Brown was gunned down in cold blood by Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson in August 2014. The idea that
the U.S. is experiencing an epidemic of racially driven police shootings is also false, and dangerously so.
Pelosi:
Clinton emails [are just] a technicality. Nancy Pelosi dismissed Hillary Clinton's growing email scandal as a series of
"technicalities" Monday [9/5/2016], brushing aside FBI and congressional investigations. The House minority leader said
voters shouldn't get "bogged down in some technicalities" and added, "it's really much ado about nothing, but too much ado."
Pelosi, on CBS' "This Morning," had been asked about an FBI report released last week, in which Clinton repeatedly said she
couldn't recall key details and events related to classified information procedures.
Josh
Earnest Pens Letter to NYT: We're Still 'Most Transparent White House in History'. White House press secretary
Josh Earnest wrote a letter to the editors of The New York Times Wednesday [8/31/2016] to defend the Obama
administration's record on transparency, still agreeing with President Barack Obama's famous pronouncement that his was "the
most transparent administration" in history. Earnest took exception to a piece from Times media critic Jim
Rutenberg that took a shot at the administration. "Right now, every signal from Mrs. Clinton is that should she
win, her administration would continue the tradition of being still more secretive than the one before it," Rutenberg
wrote. "The Obama White House has achieved just that with its abysmal record on fulfilling Freedom of Information Act
requests and its record of prosecuting whistle-blowers who have shared national security information with the press."
Naturally, Earnest disagreed with that assessment.
Obamacare
Architect: Clinton One of the 'Most Transparent' Candidates in History. Obamacare architect Dr.
Ezekiel Emanuel called Hillary Clinton one of the "most transparent" presidential candidates in history on Monday [8/29/2016],
despite the controversies surrounding her private email server and the Clinton Foundation. Emanuel is also known as
being the brother of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who served as President Obama's first chief of staff in the White House[.]
PBS
NewsHour Cuts Anti-Hillary Portions of Judy Woodruff's Jill Stein Interview. On Tuesday, PBS's Judy Woodruff
did a live interview with Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein which was carried on Facebook. The entire
interview, plus questions asked by viewers is present at the network's Facebook page. That interview without the
Facebook questions was also broadcast on PBS's NewsHour — but not quite all of it. For some reason, key
portions of Stein's answer to Woodruff's final question about whether "literally ... Hillary Clinton is every bit as bad for
the country as Donald Trump" are not present. Based on what was edited out, it would appear that the cutouts, at least
one of which was done in mid-sentence, were carried out to protect Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton's left flank.
Manufactured
Grievance You are right that the number of depressed and confused men driven to enter the ladies' room is practically zero as a percentage of
American men (gay or straight), but that's not the point. You are right that good studies show police are less likely to shoot and kill black
men than other men, but those facts don't matter. You are right that America is a good country, but again you don't get it. The
point is to elevate the perceived victimhood of all minorities through the girls' bathroom issue, of black Americans by making "all lives" a slur,
of successful women by converting reasonable and humane abortion restrictions into a century-reversing threat to their livelihood.
Media
Matters fabricates quote from Robert Spencer, claims he runs "white nationalist think tank". Did you know I was
a "white nationalist think tank leader"? Neither did I. I didn't know I was a white nationalist, and didn't know I ran a
think tank. Just think of all the meetings I've missed. [...] Media Matters claims to correct the lies of the Right.
In fact, it is they who are the liars.
Democratic
Insiders' Climate Ads Not 'Bipartisan' as Claimed. Three Democratic Party insiders, using a new environmental
group they formed called Partnership for Responsible Growth (PRG), have created a media stir with a series of 12
advertisements espousing climate alarmism. The ads, which ran on The Wall Street Journal's editorial pages,
claim there is a scientific consensus humans are causing dangerous climate change, and they criticize the Journal for running
stories they say promote climate skepticism. The ad kicking off the series directly attacked the Journal for
allowing any degree of skepticism on its pages, saying, "It is time for the editorial board of the WSJ to become part of the
solution on climate change."
Lying Black
Folks to Death. Leftists — aided by our corrupt news media — are past masters of
replacing truth with narrative. Ninety-seven percent of scientists believe in catastrophic man-made climate
change. Women are paid 77 cents on the dollar. These statements are indefensible lies, but when you have a
leftist press trained in leftist universities to repeat the assertions of leftist politicians, it's easy to make these
"facts" part of what ordinary people think they know. Especially impressive is the way in which leftists manage to
bake dishonesty into the language itself.
Obama
Is Attempting To Completely Rewrite How He Treated Mitt Romney In 2012. The political-media establishment has
provided more than a few tempting targets to push back on in the past 48 hours, but nothing rankles me more than the sudden
nostalgia liberal Democrats are heaping on Mitt Romney. Trump has inspired some sort of Romney renaissance among the
left, openly telling Republicans and the media how much they admired and respected the last Republican candidate; that he was
at least fit to lead! As an operative who worked on Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, I can tell you that this
hilariously bogus argument from the left lacks even a modicum of self-awareness.
Mook
Juke: Hillary's Deleted Emails Are 'Not A Relevant Discussion'. Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's campaign
manager, argued on Sunday that the emails she deleted are "not a relevant discussion" anymore. Appearing on NBC's "Meet
the Press," host Chuck Todd asked Mook if the Clinton campaign would "encourage" the release the 33,000 emails that Hillary
Clinton deleted from her time that she was secretary of state. "This is settled over now," Mook replied.
"Secretary Clinton went in and testified for 11 hours in front of a Congressional committee. They asked her a lot of
questions about this. They came up with nothing. The FBI has concluded their look at this issue and so we're
moving on. [...]"
The Editor says...
The assertion that the FBI "came up with nothing" is obviously untrue. The FBI didn't take any
action, but it's not because they "came up with nothing."
Welcome To The Communist Party,
U.S.A. [The Democratic Party] convention was a desperate effort to humanize Hillary. Everyone, including her philandering husband
and dilettante daughter, down to assorted people she had met at one point, were brought up on stage to testify that she really is a very nice
person. This wasn't a convention. It was a series of character witnesses for a woman with no character. It was an extensive apology
for the Left's radical agenda cloaked in fake patriotism and celebrity adulation. [...] The radical agenda of the Left was clumsily cloaked in references
to the Founding Fathers. The same group of people whose names the Left want to see ground into the dirt. Hillary's call for collectivism, the
insistence that none of us can do anything as individuals, was dressed up in E Pluribus Unum and the Founding Fathers.
Bill's
desperate bid to humanize Hillary shows fear she might lose. Here's a fact to chew on: Much of Day Two at
the convention was spent trying to humanize Hillary Clinton. After 25 years in public life, she feels the need to tell
us she cares. A parade of speakers warmed up the crowd by telling stories about her compassion, some of it very long ago.
Getting money for New Yorkers after 9/11, helping children get health insurance, securing health care for veterans. This being
a coronation, the circumstances grew in grandeur with each telling, until they made her sound like Mother Teresa. She's so
profoundly kind and tireless and honest and so full of grace, "she defies gravity."
A
True Story of 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' for Hillary's Convention. Now let us praise the most damaging hoax of our
generation: The 'hands ups, don't shoot' fairy tale surrounding the shooting death of St. Michael Brown of
Ferguson — which is about to be glorified at the Democrat convention tonight [7/26/2016]. Your humble
correspondent documented on these pages all the lies surrounding Brown's shooting within a few days of his death on August 9,
2014. It took the Washington Post 16 months to reach the same conclusion: "Hands up, don't shoot did not
happen in Ferguson," intoned the headlines. But not before police were shot, citizens hurt, and property damaged. All
while the Democrat governor gave the looters plenty of room to destroy. All while obliging national reporters insisted the
riots were, in turn, "largely peaceful", and then justified. Curiously, Post reporters still refer to the events of
Ferguson as if they really happened. Which is exactly the treatment the Democrats are giving the sainted Michael Brown at
their convention: His mother has been invited to tell her story of denial, deceit, and delusion Tuesday night [7/26/2016].
Keith
Ellison Embarrassed After Falsely Calling Racist Democrat George Wallace a Republican. Rep. Tom Cole (R., Okla.)
embarrassed Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) on ABC Sunday morning [7/24/2016] when the latter falsely claimed that former Democratic
Alabama governor George Wallace was a Republican. Wallace is perhaps best remembered as being one of the most strident supporters of
segregation in the 20th century. He sought the Democratic nomination for president multiple times, with racist stances as a key of his
platform. In 1968, he ran as the American Independent Party candidate and received 46 electoral votes, making him the most recent
third-party candidate to capture votes in the Electoral College. Ellison was attacking Donald Trump when he made his false charge.
BLM:
Barack Loses his Mind. Whenever leftists use brave-sounding terms like "frank conversations," you know that
there are a lot of things you're not going to be allowed to talk about. Like astronomical black crime rates as a
percentage of the whole population; the disproportionate incarceration rates of young black males; the way black male lives
don't seem to matter at all to other trigger-happy young black males. It's like talking with them about the links
between Islam and terrorism, the role of welfare in the destruction of the family, the big difference between "immigration"
and "illegal immigration" — none of which anyone on the left can grasp.
Comey
and the Will to Power. [Scroll down] That is how vile these people are. So determined to protect their own power,
influence and affluence, they will lie, cheat, steal and blame innocent people for their own crimes. They appoint
and confirm people like James Comey and Loretta Lynch who know they must do their bidding to keep their jobs.
There is no honor in our government anymore. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is where we find ourselves at this
moment in time. We are a crippled America; crippled by the success of the Marxist left and their mission to inculcate
our youth with their doctrine of moral relativism, entitlement and antiAmericanism. Two generations of our youth
know little or nothing about the Constitution or the men and women who brought it to fruition.
Democrat
lawmaker claims Constitution was intended to INCREASE government power. Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New
York Democrat, said it "really bothers" him when Americans argue the founders wrote the Constitution to give citizens the
power to limit the size of federal government. Nadler's remarks on the Constitution came during a House Judiciary
Committee hearing regarding accusations that former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen made false statements during an inquiry
into his agency's political targeting scandal. The Democrat claimed the actual purpose of the Constitution was to
increase government power, with the Bill of Rights being the only portion of the document intended to hamstring the
government in any way.
They
Will Never Lie Away Our God-Given Rights. It is very easy to unintentionally say something that is untrue,
whether because of haste, ignorance, or a simple brain-mouth discombobulation. But standard issue stupidity does not
explain these statements. They are simply too transcendently false to be mere error. In fact, as Murphy admits,
they are deliberate attempts to achieve a political result that liberals cannot achieve through honesty. They are
lies. Conscious, deliberate lies offered not by some random idiot on the street but the senior political columnist at
National Journal and by a sitting United States senator. Their provenance as planned prevarications is beyond
debate. As a matter of objective reality, the "gun lobby" has never killed anyone. It has never murdered even
1/49th the number of people the adherent of the radical branch of The Religion That Must Not Be Named did in one night in
Orlando. Nor have the Senate Republicans ever decided to sell a single weapon to ISIS. We normal people have a
word for such inaccurate statements made knowing they are inaccurate. That word is "lie."
The
American Left is Evil: Orlando Shooting. Leftists are the minority. However, they own the federal
government, social media, public education, Hollywood, and the Democratic party. They incite misdirected anger, hate
and guilt to bully the public into embracing their anti-American and anti-God agenda. Because the Left controls the
media, they get away with falsely portraying their opposition. The Left takes disapproval of them forcing their agenda
on us to absurd extremes. For example: If you say "no" to men using girl's restrooms, Leftists in the media brand
you an insane hatemonger who seeks the murder of all homosexuals. If you disagree with the Left's illogical obsession
with disarming Americans, repealing the second amendment, Leftist media brands you a racist toothless idiot redneck that
wants to shoot all people who do not look like you.
Fact-Checking
Snopes: Website's Political 'Fact-Checker' Is Just A Failed Liberal Blogger. Snopes' main political fact-checker is a writer named
Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog that — oddly enough — is known for publishing
fake quotes and even downright hoaxes as much as anything else. While at Inquisitr, the future "fact-checker" consistently displayed clear partisanship.

Things To Know About Tying Gun Sales To A Watch List. [#2] The Democrats are still falsely conflating the
no-fly list with the terrorist watch list. We've been over this before. The no-fly list is not the same thing as
the terrorist watch list. The no-fly has roughly 40,000 names on it and many of them are not the names of U.S.
citizens. By contrast, the terrorist watch list has more than a million names on it (we can't know the actual number).
The legislation Democrats are pushing relies on a definition similar, but not identical, to the one used to create the terrorist
watch list on a rolling basis. It has nothing to do with the no-fly list. That won't stop Democrats from conflating
the two intentionally (as an aide to Sen. Diane Feinstein admitted she does), nor will it stop ignorant journalists from
confusing them accidentally (as several have conceded to me they have).
Nancy
Pelosi: Federal government, not Steve Jobs, 'invented' iPhone. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told an
audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday [6/9/2016] that Apple's iconic iPhone was "invented" by the federal government instead of
entrepreneur Steve Jobs. "Anybody here have a smartphone?" the California Democrat asked attendees at a hearing on the
Democratic National Convention platform. "In this smartphone, almost everything came from federal investments in
research. [...] They say Steve Jobs did a good idea designing it and putting it together. Federal research invented
it." Mrs. Pelosi implied that GPS technology, special alloys and other government-funded research projects were
enough to deem the federal government the inventor of the iPhone.
All
Your Technology Are Belong To Us. Nancy Pelosi joins the ranks of Al Gore, who invented the Internet, Elizabeth
"'there-is-nobody-in-this-country-who-got-rich-on-their-own" Warren and Barry "you-didn't-build-that-yourself" Obama.
She is now officially one of the illuminati who knows for sure that only the Government invents stuff (thanks to your
individual involuntary contributions to the Federal Treasury). See this iPhone? "Federal research invented it."
The Editor says...
For those of you who attended public schools, allow me to point out that research is not the same as invention.
Dear
LGBT Community, Resistance to Your Community Has Nothing To Do With Being "Phobic". The dictionary defines a
phobia is "an extreme, or irrational fear of something." A good visual example would be someone's fear of snakes, dogs, or
heights. The person, upon being introduced to the very sight of these things, is reduced to something like a cornered
animal with his or her primal fight-or-flight instinct hammering at the mind. You can see how the "phobe" accusation is
a ridiculous one. "Phobe" hardly fits those who disagree with homosexuality or transgenderism, or it's activist
community's agenda, but that's not the point. The point is to paint the opposition as irrational, and/or hateful.
This way the opposing person, or persons, is viewed with an initial level of contempt, and their words and points are
automatically worth less, or not even up for consideration.
Sen.
Kaine: 'Constitutional Right' to Access to Birth Control. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) tells WVIR-TV that he's
co-sponsoring a bill on access to contraception at pharmacies, because "if it's a constitutional right, you should be
entitled" to seek birth control without having to overcome "arbitrary barriers." "If it's a constitutional right, you
should be entitled to seek this kind of medical care and not have arbitrary barriers put in your way," Kaine told WVIR while
explaining the Access to Birth Control Act he is co-sponsoring.
The Editor says...
Are we supposed to believe this right was hiding in the Constitution for 225 years and nobody saw it until this week?
Whoopi's
Absurd Theory: Hillary Was Hiding Email Fights with Bill. On Thursday's [5/26/2016] The View on
ABC, during a discussion of the State Department finding that Hillary Clinton violated the agency's rules in spite of
warnings by conducting business on a private home email server, co-host Whoopi Goldberg ridiculously rationalized the former
Secretary's behavior by sympathetically claiming she was trying to keep personal email fights with her husband from making it
into the newspaper.
Feinstein on Clinton's
Private Server: She Just Wanted To Talk To Bill and Chelsea. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Ca.) told
ABC's Jonathan Karl Sunday that Hillary Clinton just wanted some privacy to be able to talk to her husband, daughter, and
friends "and not have somebody looking over her shoulder into her e-mails." "Oh wait a second, I don't believe she was
trying to hide anything," Feinstein said. "I've known Hillary for a quarter of a century. Let me tell you what I
do think. I think this is a woman who wants a little bit of a private life. She wants to be able to communicate
with husband, with daughter, with friends, and not have somebody looking over her shoulder into her e-mails. Having
said that, it is what it is. And you know, I don't think we should make a federal case over it." The new
explanation for Clinton's private email server was discussed after Feinstein said that Clinton was not misleading the
public before the IG report was published.
McCaskill:
Clinton used private email for 'privacy'. Sen. Claire McCaskill on Thursday defended Hillary Clinton's
use of a private email to conduct official business by saying the then-secretary of state wanted "privacy." "She's
admitted this was a mistake. I think we need to realize she wasn't trying to undermine the United States of America,
she was trying to protect her privacy," the Missouri Democrat said on MSNBC. Sen. McCaskill, who has endorsed her
former Senate colleague's campaign for the presidency, said Clinton was "probably misguided," but speculated that she wanted
"some free space of privacy" after being "under attack her entire life."
The Editor says...
Bonnie and Clyde were under attack for most of their lives, too — and for good reason.
DNC
Chairwoman Schultz claims Clinton 'not the target' of FBI probe. Even in the face of the FBI boss scoffing at
Hillary Clinton's description of the "investigation" into her email practices as a "security inquiry," the head of the
Democratic Party is now insisting the front-running Democratic presidential candidate isn't even a focus of the probe.
"Secretary Clinton isn't even a target of this inquiry, investigation, whatever 'I' word you want to use," Democratic
National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told Fox News on Friday [5/13/2016]. Asked to back up her
statement, Schultz said she's "repeatedly been told that" — though she did not say who might have told her.
Networks
Censor Latest Hillary E-Mail Bombshell, Instead Hype Anti-Wrinkle Gel. All three networks on Tuesday morning
[5/10/2016] censored the bombshell news that all the e-mails from Hillary Clinton's top IT staffer, the man who set up her
private server, are missing. This is despite a combined eight hours of air time on ABC's Good Morning America,
CBS This Morning and NBC's Today. Instead of covering this important development, these same programs
devoted eight minutes and 38 seconds to a new anti-aging gel. Not exactly the most pressing story. On Fox News,
Monday, Megyn Kelly broke the story: "A new bombshell in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal.
The State Department now says they can't find any of the e-mails from the Clinton staffer responsible for setting up the
infamous private server."
Meet the Democratic Liars
Club. The unholy trinity [of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bill de Blasio] comprises the leaders of the
Democratic Liars Club. Whether born or convicted, the president of the United States, his would-be successor and the
mayor of New York are, to borrow a phrase, "people of the lie." This is not to accuse them of being merely imperfect
humans. It is to say they are chronically dishonest and concoct such significant lies that they deserve zero public trust.
Obama's
Justice Dept. Now Calls Young Criminals 'Justice-Involved Youth'. A press release issued earlier this
week describes a new $1.75 million grant program as designed "to help young people involved in the justice system find jobs
and housing." Wait, you ask, if these young people are "involved" in the justice system, doesn't that mean they already
have jobs? Like, say, as a trainee in the dispatcher's office, or a desk clerk in the attorney general's office, or
maybe a janitor at the local courthouse? Not exactly. In this case, "justice-involved youth" is what we're now
supposed to call juvenile delinquents, also known as young criminals.
Convicted
Criminals Have a New PC Name. The latest from the administration is a new term for convicted criminals.
They will now be known as 'justice involved individuals'. The Equal Opportunity Employment Office has made it all but
illegal to not hire former criminals and Obama is giving early release to some dangerous criminals. He's also putting
tens of thousands of illegal alien criminals on the streets. Perhaps the reason is because he doesn't think criminals
exist, especially youthful criminals. The DOJ says the term 'convicted criminal' makes it too difficult for a convicted
criminal to get a job. It is currently being applied to youthful criminals convicted of a crime.
How Democrats
Win Debates by Corrupting English. Humans have been using euphemisms ever since Adam first "knew" Eve. In
politics especially, obfuscating and twisting the meaning of words has been going on forever. But today's debates aren't
only littered with rhetorical distortions; in some ways, many of Democrats' most potent arguments are built on corrupt language.
25
years after Anita Hill our courts are flooded with political vendettas. Here's why. HBO sank to a new low
this weekend with the premier of "Confirmation," a movie that purports to accurately depict the events and circumstances
surrounding Anita Hill's widely rejected claims that she was sexually harassed by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence
Thomas. The movie is nothing short of a transparent attempt to rewrite history and lend credibility to the liberals'
decades-long campaign attacking the character and integrity of Justice Thomas. The HBO drama included conversations
that never took place, introduced fictional characters with no basis in fact or reality and made up whole scenes in a clumsy
effort to manufacture sympathy for its liberal heroine.
Want
to Improve Your State? Pass an Anti-LGBT Law! This week Mississippi passed their own religious freedom bill, House
Bill 1523, which has been repeatedly dubbed the 'horrific anti-LGBT law' in the media with promises to make the lives of LGBT citizens
an oppressive living nightmare. Naturally, like all other religious freedom bills in the country, LGBT citizens are not even involved,
let alone discriminated against. But the narrative cry is so loud no one is capable of grasping this simple and logical point. [...]
Sobbing and terrified LGBTers will continue cranking out article after article detailing their imagined discrimination while absolutely none
ever occurs. Uninformed average people will imagine restaurants putting up 'no gays allowed' signs and ambulances turning away
transgender people dying in the streets, regardless of the truth of the situation.
Senate
Dem: National debt is not 'a threat to our country'. Senate Democrats on Wednesday couldn't agree that federal
debt is a national security problem, in a hearing aimed at assessing the long-term strategic implications of the government's
$19 trillion debt. "A realistic discussion about it, and accepting expert opinion that this debt that we have is not
actually right now a threat to our country, is I think a more realistic and honorable way of talking to the American people
about it," Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday [4/6/2016].
America
Now Has an Official Language: Newspeak. [Scroll down] Now let's consider how far we have fallen in just a
few short years. The term "Alien" has been all but expunged from any discussions about immigration. This lunacy
began under the administration of Jimmy Carter who mandated that INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) employees stop
using the term alien to describe illegal aliens. The term alien is hardly a pejorative. The term "alien" is a
legal term that is defined in our immigration laws under Title 8 U.S. Code § 1101 - Definitions. [...]
There is absolutely no insult in that term. The reason that there has been a concerted effort to expunge the word alien
from the vernacular is to obfuscate the clarity that the term brings to the debate about immigration. This is not about
being "politically correct," but about employing the Newspeak tactic of confounding understanding and making honest
discussions impossible.
New
Dem glossary. It's very difficult, keeping up with the ever-changing PC permutations of the language. We
all understand that what was once global cooling and then global warming is now just plain climate change. And that
when Democrats pander to the "working class," they really mean the "non-working class." With these people, every day is
1984 and they're the Ministry of Truth. Obamacare is the Affordable Care Act — and it's unaffordable.
And when your income-tax return is docked because you couldn't afford affordable care, it's not a fine, it's a "shared
responsibility tax."
Castro
Fact-Checked On The Air After Claiming Hillary Clinton 'Cleared' By Justice Department. Democratic congressman
Joaquin Castro (D., Texas) falsely claimed Sunday [3/6/2016] that Hillary Clinton had been "cleared" by the Department of
Justice over her private email server, leading to a quick on-air fact-checking. "It's been settled by the Congress,"
Castro said. "The Congress has looked into it. The Justice Department has looked into it, and they've cleared
her." "The Department of Justice is looking into it," State of the Union host Dana Bash said, correcting Castro. "But
that's for another--" Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt quipped, "She's been cleared? I missed that headline."
An
Open Letter to the Conservative Media Explaining Why I Have Left the Movement. [Scroll down] Over the last 15 years,
I have watched the then-chairman of the DNC say the idea that President Bush knew about 9-11 and let it happen was a "serious position held by
many people," watched the vice president tell a black audience that Republicans would return them to slavery if they could, watched Harry Reid
say Mitt Romney was a tax cheat without any reason to believe it was true, and seen an endless amount of appalling behavior on the part of the
Democrats which is too long to list here and which I am sure you are aware.
Media
vs. Democracy: The Case of Poland. For half a century or more, our morale has been under deliberate
attack by partisans of the Left. This attack is very clever and very dangerous. Break the morale of the country and our
nation's dynamism, our prosperity and our future will be broken, as well. The Left lies. They sneer at patriotism.
They distort our history. We are villains. Political Correctness tries to control our thought. Fracturing the American
Melting Pot into contending racial, ethnic and economic factions shatters our unity and purpose. Much more dangerous than these tactics
is denial that America is exceptional. We hear this often, nowadays. We hear it in the schools and the movies. We hear it
from "progressive" politicians. We hear it in the News. We even hear it from the White House. People who propagate this
fiction are not friends of America, they are America's adversaries.
Hillary's 50 shades of grey.
Hillary Clinton is false in everything, a gold-plated phony seemingly incapable of uttering a true word. She lies with abandon. She lies with
the ease of a pathological liar. Everyone knows it. Everyone sees it. Examples could be multiplied endlessly. Think only of the
various statements she has made about her email arrangement. Has any of them stood the test of time? I don't think so. She has told so
many whoppers it's hard to keep track of them all.
The Editor says...
And yet, Mrs. Clinton is currently the leading candidate for the 2016 Democratic Party nomination for the office of President. So everybody knows
she's a chronic liar, but the Democrats are voting for her anyway. One can only conclude that honesty doesn't matter to Democrats.
NYT
Column: Cruz & Rubio [are] Not Really Latino Because [they are] Not Liberal. Your last name could be Cruz or Rubio but unless you pass the
stringent political tests of certain self-appointed gatekeepers, you are not authentically Latino. One such gatekeeper is Roberto Suro who wrote in
a New York Times column that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can't be considered to really be Latino because they do not subscribe to liberal identity politics.
The Democrats' New Game: State Goes Back and Retroactively Classifies Emails Sent to Powell's and Rice's Personal
Accounts, So They Can Say "Everybody Does It". The interesting thing here is that State can classify, or declassify, information originating with
State. But they cannot classify, nor declassify, information originating with another service, like the CIA or NSA. Hillary is claiming that State
"disputes" the CIA's and NSA's determination that the information she was passing around was top-top-secret. Shockingly secret. State is disputing
this on her behalf — but they have no such power to classify or declassify CIA or NSA information.
Compromise
and the Law of the Excluded Middle. Logic isn't a high priority in liberal circles, though progressives like the word, they either
don't know the rules of the reasoning game or they feel justified in breaking them. Let's do a quick review: Rule 1) The
Law of Identity: a thing is what it is and is not something else. It is not what it is not. This seems obvious until you start
looking at some leftist equations: financing ISIS = fighting ISIS; snow storms = global warming; voter ID = voter suppression.
The Clintons' political legacy of
dishonesty. Spin and puffery have a long history in politics, but something has snapped in our culture that we no longer even
expect our leaders to talk straight. We have become immune to lies and the liars who tell them. I blame it on the Clintons.
Their survival despite a quarter-century of shameful dishonesty has led the way in lowering the bar for integrity in public life.
No "Major Scandal" in Obama Administration? [David] Axelrod,
former senior advisor to President Obama, recently asserted something so patently untrue that it demands a response. "And I'm proud of the fact that, basically,
you've had an administration that's been in place for six years in which there hasn't been a major scandal," he pronounced at a University of Chicago event.
The Washington Post leapt in to defend Axelrod's claim by pointing to how President Obama's approval ratings did not shift in the wake of the potential scandals he
has faced since taking office.
VP
Joe Biden says politics are impeding cancer cure. Vice President Joe Biden launched a "moonshot" initiative Friday
[1/15/2016] to hasten a cure for cancer, aiming to use his final year in office to break down barriers in the medical world he
says are holding back progress on eradicating the dreaded disease. Biden chose Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center in
Philadelphia as his venue to call attention to the institute's pioneering efforts on immunotherapy, in which a patient's own
immune system is deployed against cancer cells.
The Editor says...
This last-minute push to cure cancer as an afterthought is an obvious smokescreen to draw media attention away from Obama's numerous
scandals. It is a pie-in-the-sky idea which has near-zero likelihood of success, but any Republican who dismisses the idea
(of additional billions spent on "research") will be portrayed as a villain in the Democrat-controlled press. If Barack H.
Obama cared that much about fighting cancer, why hasn't this been part of his agenda for the last several years?
Philly
mayor claims he was 'misinterpreted' on claims terror attack had 'nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic
faith'. Philadelphia's Mayor Jim Kenney has earned himself a place in the Doofus Hall of Fame for telling a
press conference about an attempted assassination a police officer by a man who told police he acted "in the name of Islam"
because "the police defend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran": [...] Now he is trying to backtrack in the
face of near universal mockery. But of course, he will not correct himself, retract his statement, or in any way
man up. No, he blames others: the idiots who "misinterpreted" him — especially Republicans
and Rush Limbaugh.
David
Brooks' Disgraceful Attack on Ted Cruz. [Edward Kennedy's attack on Robert Bork] was as dishonest as it was
disgraceful. The first strike in a new technique on the judicial confirmation scene that became known ever afterward as
"borking" — spreading smears and lies about the target in question. Yet liberalism having long since begun its
descent into the fever swamps, Kennedy's attack was emblematic of the emotionalism and outright dishonesty — not
to mention appeals to race — that were already typical of the progressive movement.
The Year of the Leftist
Liars. The biggest lie of 2014 — "Hands up, don't shoot" — had its repercussions in 2015, with
the open advocacy of the killing of policemen, in marches across the country. But the ambush killings of policemen that
followed aroused no such outrage in the media as any police use of force against thugs. Nor has there been the same outrage
as the murder rate shot up when the police pulled back, as they have in the past, in the wake of being scapegoated by politicians
and the media. Most of the people murdered have been black. But apparently these particular black lives don't matter much
to activists and the media.
Debunking
5 Phony Statistics Liberals Love To Toss Around. Liberals are all about emotions, not facts. Since that's
the case, liberals do a terrible job of coming up with any sort of evidence to support their agenda. More often than not,
when they do come up with a great statistic that's repeated over and over, it's fake. If you want some examples,
here are five phony statistics you'll regularly hear from liberals.
First
Truth, Now Chappaquiddick. I couldn't believe it when I learned that Rathergate was to be made into a film
called Truth — Lies would have been a better title — and it seems equally far-fetched
that anyone would want to make or invest in a film about Chappaquiddick. But apparently it is going to happen.
'Chappaquiddick'
Producer: Viewers Will See What Ted Kennedy 'Had To Go Through'. Hollywood producer Mark Ciardi says the new
Ted Kennedy biopic movie Chappaquiddick, about the drowning incident that left a young woman dead, gives viewers a
chance to see what Kennedy "had to go through" at that time, The Hollywood Reporter reports. "I've done a lot of
true life stories, many sports stories, but this one had a deep impact on this country," Ciardi said. "Everyone has an idea
of what happened on Chappaquiddick and this strings together the events in a compelling and emotional way. You'll see what he
had to go through."
Chappa-Quit-It. The
little that Ted Kennedy "had to go through" in terms of consequences during his formative years foreshadowed what he put
[Mary Jo] Kopechne through on July 18, 1969. His chief accomplishments in his young life included gaining
readmission to Harvard to score a touchdown against Yale after an expulsion for cheating, spending the Korean War as an Army
private in Paris, and evading police in a nighttime, 90-mph chase on neighborhood Charlottesville streets ironically during
law school. Ted Kennedy's first paid job, save for his stint in the army, came with his election to the United States
Senate. Before he supported himself for that office, he failed to cast ballots in 13 of the 16 elections in
which he could vote. Tellingly, his older brother appeared on the ballot upon the three instances in which he entered
a voting booth.
Calling
Out Islam Terrorism Truthers. Each and every act of Muslim terrorism is followed by a wave of denial. The politicians
who have done the most to cause the latest disaster are the eagerest to blame it on something, anything else. The San Bernardino
Muslim massacre was blamed on postpartum depression at CNN. Bill Nye blamed the latest Paris attacks on Global Warming.
According to Hillary Clinton, Benghazi was a movie review with artillery. Islamic terrorism was blamed by the State Department on a
lack of jobs, but Syed Farook had a good government job and his wife was the daughter of a wealthy family. After rummaging through
their big brass chest of excuses, Obama and his media allies have settled on gun control as their latest weapon of mass distraction.
FBI
Stats Debunk DC Media's 'Muslim Backlash' Myth. The suspect in the recent mass-shooting at a Colorado Planned
Parenthood is an obvious lunatic. Nevertheless, our rotted DC Media has had a field day using those murders to attack all
pro-lifers as culpable. Naturally, this Narrative was flipped entirely after last week's Islamist atrocity in San Bernardino.
Although the most recent F.B.I. statistic prove the "Muslim backlash" is a pure myth, the DC Media, ever in pursuit of labeling everyday
Americans as racist, relentlessly spread the myth.
Hillary
Clinton's $275 Billion 'Shovel Ready' Sequel Is Based On Two Big Lies. When Hillary Clinton announced her $275
billion infrastructure spending plan, she said what every politician says when they try to get more money spent on roads and
bridges — that the nation's infrastructure is falling apart. "I don't have to tell you what a sorry state we're
in," she said in Boston over the weekend pushing the added spending. "Our roads and bridges are potholed and crumbling."
But is that true? On Monday [11/30/2015], the Government Accountability Office released a report showing that the nation's
bridges, at least, are in better shape than they were a decade ago.
The
Surging Anti-American Sentiment of the Left. The Democratic party spews lies on a daily basis as they concern
themselves with single, concrete-bound, range-of-the-moment projects and demands, without regard to cost, context, or
consequence. If it furthers the power and control of the party, they'll utter lies, force through legislation, slander
opponents, and destroy whatever gets in their way. They loathe the man that is independent and unafraid to take a stand for
what he believes in, specially if that belief is rooted in Christianity, conservatism, and capitalism. The left are cowards,
hypocrites, and most of all self-hating parasites who despise the American way of life.
Top
Party Official Accuses Democratic National Chairwoman of Lying and Questions Her Leadership. R.T. Rybak, the
former mayor of Minneapolis and a vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, on Thursday accused the party's leader,
Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, of making "flat-out not true" statements about another top party officer, questioned
her political skills and said he had "serious questions" about her suitability for the job.
Hillary Clinton and
Obama's Lies on Benghazi — Too Many to Count, but Let's Try. They lied about the slaughter of four Americans
in Benghazi, Libya, at the hands of al-Qaeda-tied terrorists. They lied, but not to protect vital national secrets or flummox
America's enemies. They lied to get reelected. And they lied directly, knowingly, and repeatedly to the American people.
ISIS Is Islamic and Bruce Jenner is a
Man. When Bruce Jenner says he is a woman now, the American left not only applauds him and starts referring to him as
a she, but demands that everyone else do so at the risk of their livelihoods. Only a bigot would think a man with a penis is a
man when he says he is a woman. The left has an ongoing war with reality where, in their quest for utopia, they have decided
to shut out truths contrary to their reality.
Bernie
Sanders' Orwellian Lie: Socialism Is Capitalism. Socialism is a lot of things, but "entrepreneurial" ain't one
of them. That Bernie Sanders can describe it as such shows the Orwellian low our political discourse has reached.
Environmental
Activist Visits North Dakota, Makes Things Up. Winona LaDuke is a political activist who, among other things,
is the head of Honor the Earth. That's the principle opposition group to the Sandpiper pipeline which would from Tioga, North
Dakota, through Minnesota and down to Wisconsin. LaDuke is also something of a fabulist, writing an op/ed about a recent
visit to Williston which might leave some thinking that she's living in an alternate version of reality.
Boxer:
Hillary Statement on Republicans Being Enemies Was 'a Joke'. Monday [10/19/2015] on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Sen. Sen.
Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was joking when she said she was proud Republicans were her enemies
at the CNN primary debate last week.
From Denmark With Love. Bernie and Hillary
are in love in with socialism. Both of them want a romantic affair with Socialism from Denmark. However, they do not tell the
American people the parts of the romantic deal that will ruin many American families financially. Jonas Christensen is a Conservative
Dane, who has lived all his life in Denmark. He does not recognize the paradise-like picture that is painted by Bernie and Hillary
concerning Denmark. Nothing in Denmark is free, regardless of what Bernie has stated several times. Jonas goes on to say
that they do not have free healthcare and they do not have free education.
Now I'm 'Anti-American'. There's a great new book out by
Jack Cashill called "Scarlet Letters." [...] Cashill's hypothesis is so simple, persuasive and elegantly expressed, I found myself
scratching my head and wondering why I hadn't ever considered the matter before. So-called "progressives" have, in effect,
created a new neo-puritanical religion that empowers them, even commands them, to do unto others what they accuse others of doing to
them. They heap insults on them like "homophobe," "racist," "fascist, "climate-change denier" and "Islamophobe," to name but a
few, in hopes of branding others with a new version of the old "Scarlet Letter" device. It doesn't matter if the slur is accurate,
truthful, fair or sincere. Usually it isn't. It's just their attempt to impose their new moral code, to strike fear and
apprehension into the minds, souls and psyches of their political and spiritual adversaries. And it works.
"Banned books" are a lie told by leftists to
feel good about themselves. A banned book is a serious matter. There have been books banned in US history. For
example, a number of cities banned Elmer Gantry. [...] These days though, there aren't books being banned in America. Those
saying otherwise are repeating comforting lies. Leftists, led by the weirdly extremist American Library Association, tell themselves
these things so they can feel superior to others.
The
Democrats are winning the war of planting questioners at town halls. Jeb Bush had yet another uncomfortable
moment at a town hall in South Carolina yesterday. While he was trying to fend off questions about The Donald and get out his
message on economic growth and jobs, a questioner (who was a white guy, by the way) stood up and tagged him with something completely
out of left field. [...] I'm willing to stick my neck out right now and predict that if anyone does any serious checking this weekend
you're going to find that this guy was a plant for the Democrats.
Obama's Bio is Not the Issue
Anymore. Republicans shouldn't acquiesce in the Progressives' charge that "birtherism" is some sort of heinous crime
so "horrendous" that any expression of it must be repudiated immediately, and incoherently, as racist — certainly not
after the despicable slanders the Democrats propagated about George W. Bush, from "Bushitler" to movies and books fantasizing
about assassinating the president. And have we already forgotten the Dem's Goebbels, Michael Moore, and his grotesque fictional
"documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11? The June 2004 premier of this recycling of left-wing lies about the origins of the Iraq
War — basically "Bush Lied, Millions Died" and "No Blood For Oil' — was attended by Democratic honchos like
Al Gore, Barbara Boxer, Tom Harkin, and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle.
Hillary
Clinton revealed to have over a million fake Twitter followers. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are not polling
well when it comes to their social media fans. An analysis of the pair's Twitter accounts has revealed that over one
million of Clinton's followers are fake, while only 53% of Biden's social media fans are real.
Sharpton:
From Watts To Ferguson — 'All Violence' Was 'Sparked By Police Violence'. Wednesday [8/12/2015] on the "Tom
Joyner Morning Show," MSNBC's "Politics Nation" host Al Sharpton said all the riots and violence of the last 50 years,
from Watts to Ferguson, have been "sparked by police violence," and then driven by unemployment and poverty.
O'Reilly
Erupts When Juan Williams Tries to Blame The Economy on Bush (6 Years In). Not sure why
he even has Juan on when stuff like this is said. Williams believes Bush is still to blame for
the economy, not Obama. O'Reilly levels him — "Hey Juan, If you're manager of the Washington
Nationals and they come in 5th place for 5 years, you know where you are?" You're
outta there. [Video clip]
Desperate
Dems Recycle Planned Parenthood's Mammogram Lie. As more graphic, money-grubbing
undercover videos of Planned Parenthood's for-profit aborted baby parts racket emerge thanks to the
investigative work of the Center for Medical Progress, desperate Democrats are in full deflection
mode. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell defended federal funding
for Planned Parenthood this week by invoking the women's health shield. "What I think is
important is that our HHS funding is focused on issues of preventative care for women, things like
mammograms," Burwell told the House Education and Workforce Committee. Just one teeny, tiny
problem with this defense: It's a completely calculated fabrication.
The
Many Lies Paving the Way to Obama's Legacy. I understand he is the president of the
United States, a position that should warrant presumptive trust regardless of one's philosophical or
partisan identification. But I cannot start with a presumption of trust when it comes to this
president, the former true-believing community organizer whose word has proven to be vapid or even
patently false on so many important issues. You see, this president is the classic progressive —
far more classic than the Clintons, for whom truth is purely situational: only good as long as it
fits their purpose, and then on to Plan B. What makes Barack Obama the real progressive is
that he truly believes that his great willpower magically transforms his pronouncements. Indeed,
his mere will makes them accurate — especially if he repeats them enough —
despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Time to Arrest
Hillary. Hillary Clinton led the charge in the Obama administration to go to war in
Libya. Her objective was to overthrow the regime of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Not one to be deterred
by opponents in the Pentagon and Congress to her reckless interventionist plans, Hillary decided to end-run
them. Her State Department helped facilitate what Andrew P. Napolitano in his scathing article has
called "Hillary's secret war." When the secret war began to backfire, as arms ended up in the hands
of anti-American jihadists, Hillary Clinton and other senior members of the Obama administration engaged in lies,
obstructions of congressional investigations and scapegoating to cover their tracks.
War
on The Truth: It's a Progressive Disease. The Supreme Court's outrageous decisions in
the Obamacare and same-sex marriage cases, in which the Court simply ignored the plain meanings of
words and the Constitution, and thumbed its nose at the most basic facts of life, are only the
latest examples of our nation turning its back on truth and common sense. Under the influence of
"progressive" fanatics, we're suffering from a progressive pathology that's tearing our nation apart.
In their quest to redefine "normal," they are tearing up America's morality by the roots. They're
forcing America to abandon God's standards of right and wrong, and in consequence our society is becoming
increasingly unmoored from reality.
Comments
o' the day, spotted at — of all places — The New York Times.
["]I don't care for Mrs. Clinton. She is untruthful and extremely overrated. Much of
her support is based on sympathy because she married a serial philanderer. But lying is now,
for the Democrat Party, the state of the art with respect to campaigning and governing. It's
an indispensable part of modern liberalism. The whole point is that the Democrat elite and
their bureaucrats know better. They know what's good for the masses. The masses are
dumb and do not know what's good for them.["]
Elena
Kagan 2009: "There is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage". I know, 2009 was then, this is now.
Then she was a nominee for Solicitor General, now she is an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Then she was
bound to follow the law, now she gets to make it. Then supporting gay marriage may have sunk her nomination, now public
opinion has shifted.
Three Pinocchios: Bill
Clinton's claim that Hillary did economic diplomacy because there was no Commerce Secretary. Former President Clinton
exaggerated when he claimed that for "much of the time she was secretary," there was no commerce secretary. For three out of
the four years, there was a Senate-confirmed commerce secretary sitting near Hillary Clinton at Cabinet meetings. Moreover,
the secretary of state is supposed to engage in economic diplomacy, whether or not there is a commerce secretary. Yes, there
was some turnover in the leadership of the commerce department. But Clinton's assertion that if not for Hillary Clinton,
"nobody would have been doing" economic diplomacy is quite a stretch, given the dominant role of the Treasury Secretary on
international economic issues.
Martin O'Malley: The
Great Deceiver. Martin O'Malley wants to be president. He wants the job so badly he's
apparently perfectly willing to re-write history. To just refuse to tell the truth. In his
announcement speech for president the other day, O'Malley, the man who governed both Baltimore and
then Maryland for years, stood in front of the cameras and practiced the political game of —
there's no other way to say it — lying by omission.
The
continuing collapse of 'The Hunting Ground,' a campus sexual assault propaganda film.
The Hunting Ground bills itself as a documentary about the campus sexual assault crisis in
America. But as more of the film's premises are debunked, it looks less like a documentary and more
like a film in search of a problem. The latest evidence of the film's attempts to ignore the
facts in order to fit their preconceived narrative comes from Emily Yoffe of Slate, who looked into
one of the film's central cases. Yoffe found that the filmmakers, who claimed the vast majority
of campus sexual assaults are "a highly calculated, premeditated crime," either willfully ignored or failed
to fact-check one of their central stories because it was anything but "calculated" or "premeditated."
Left's Gifts to Language.
[T]he secular/socialist/distributive movement has gradually distorted and replaced common English
language that once unified the nation by introducing a lexicon that might just have been sent to us
from other galaxies. Phrases and words are hijacked to mean something totally different from their
traditional, historic uses. Numbers and statistics are distorted or ignored at random depending
upon circumstances or whim.
You 'Must be Made' to Obey.
When they don't like the terms, liberals redefine the terms to mean something they do not, never
have and never can mean. Consider, for instance, the once meaningful words "marriage" and
"equality." Other "progressive" doublespeak includes words like "invest" (meaning socialist
redistribution of wealth), "tolerance" (meaning embrace immorality or face total ruin), "diversity"
(meaning Christians and conservatives need not apply), "hate" (meaning truth) or "The Affordable
Care Act" (meaning unaffordable, unsustainable and utterly inferior socialized medicine). Even
so, it's during those rare moments of candor that our cultural Marxist friends' rhetoric actually
aligns with their intended actions. In other words, every so often, and usually by accident,
they tell the truth.
Liberal
Media's Latest Lie: Lack of Infrastructure Spending Caused Amtrak Crash. In 2009, didn't Barack
Obama market his unprecedented $787 billion "Stimulus" program under the banner of repairing America's
failing infrastructure? Why, yes, yes he did. [...] Fast forward to this week's tragic Amtrak accident.
Cue legacy media jumping to the "You low-life taxpayers aren't spending enough money on infrastructure!" argument.
The
Left's Inconsistent Stance on Provocative Art. Thomas Jefferson said it well: "To
compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and
tyrannical." But whenever Congress attempted to curtail funding of offensive art, editorial
pages, faculty lounges and museum boards launched a nationwide elite freak-out. In 1989, when
the Senate voted to restrict some funding for offensive art, Richard Koshalek, the director of the
Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, told the New York Times that he felt that the vote was
"a form of psychological tyranny, trying to put the art world into a state of terror."
Painter Robert Motherwell exclaimed that "for Congress to act as censor is outrageous.
The ultimate end is fascism."
Free the
Baltimore Six. [Scroll down] From the days of Sacco and Vanzetti on, leftists
had invested a great deal of emotional capital in claiming the guilty innocent. They particularly
liked to declare groups of guilty people innocent — the "Jena Six," the "Chicago Seven
(or Eight)," the "Catonsville Nine." Beginning with the Zimmerman case, they switched tactics and
began to insist the innocent were guilty, a darker turn altogether. Now America has a genuine
collective of the unjustly accused, the six officers that the New York Daily News casually describes
as the "suspected killers" of Freddie Gray, the Baltimore Six. But now leftists are the ones
doing the accusing.
Democrats
Raise Money By Lying About the Climate. I suppose it was Earth Day that prompted a
mass email on climate from the Democratic Party. What is striking about the Democrats' fundraising
pitch is its mendacity.
Black Murderers Matter.
The "Black Lives Matter" campaign is based on as big a lie as the "campus rape culture" lie; the Rolling Stone
magazine gang rape at the University of Virginia fraternity lie; the gang rape by the Duke University lacrosse
team lie; the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Ferguson lie; and all the other lies that animate leftist hysterias.
Building hysterias based on falsehoods is a primary modus operandi on the left.
Obama [is] a master of trading
future calamity for temporary gratification. America is relieved that things at least
appear calm, as war and death rage abroad. At almost every critical juncture, the
administration chose short-term happy talk in lieu of worries over long-term consequences.
No matter how frequent the disasters abroad, Obama can proclaim the world is at peace in an
unprecedented age of stability and security.
How
To Untangle Orwellian Doublethink. In order to control millions of people,
totalitarian or proto-totalitarian governments find it necessary to somehow prod their subjects into
accepting that which is not true. Intelligent people will naturally see the truth and thereby
comprehend when government lies to them — and so that's the rub — how does
totalitarian government deal with intelligent people when they must be lied to? George Orwell
provides the answer: intelligent people must be conditioned to reject self-evident truth, to reject
the sanity of common sense, to accept the insanity of Orwellian Doublethink, to accept the lie and the
truth in their minds simultaneously: "with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth."
Hillary Clinton
Lies... A Lot. Hillary Clinton says that she is the most transparent woman in American
politics. There's just one problem — Hillary Clinton lies... a lot. Ben Shapiro
takes a trip in the way back machine to look at a few of the more egregious examples.
'Letter
of 47' Not the First Time Senators Have Intervened in Foreign Policy. "In 36 years in
the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance" in which senators intervened in the
conduct of U.S. foreign policy," Vice President Joe Biden declared, outraged by the "open letter to
the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran," signed by 47 Republican senators. But in fact, a
number of U.S. senators, including then-Senator and now Secretary of State John Kerry, have contacted
unfriendly governments, in opposition to the policies of the White House at the time.
Not
My Circus, Not My Monkeys. [Scroll down] But it is impossible for any person with a
functioning central nervous system to believe that Hillary Clinton is telling the truth about her emails,
inasmuch as her statements on the matter are in conflict with established facts and in conflict with each
other. They simply are not compatible with reality. Likewise, it is impossible for any sentient
person to believe that Barack Obama is telling the truth about the matter, that he learned about the situation
from press reports when he in fact corresponded with her via email.
Nothing but
the Truth. [Scroll down] If the lie is repeated enough, if outside information
or opposing viewpoints are not permitted or tolerated, if those receiving the disinformation are
hungry, dehumanized, uneducated, or tortured enough, anyone can become a believer in the inconceivable
(that two plus two could really equal five) or the implausible (that global warming is a greater existential
threat than radical Islamic terrorists). This is how we came to believe there are dozens of genders
even though thousands of years of science and human history confirm the existence of only two. This
is how we came to believe that homosexuality is not a choice but an alternative physical attribute that
cannot be controlled; that gay sex is equivalent to heterosexual sex, even though only the latter results
in reproduction; that abortion is a social good and constitutional right that should be encouraged; that
a family with two daddies is exactly the same as a family with a mommy and a daddy; that blended and
broken families are just as good as traditional families; and, that fathers are superfluous.
Top 10 Astroturfers. The
whole point of astroturf is to try to convince you there's widespread support for or against an
agenda when there's not. The language of astroturfers and propagandists includes trademark
inflammatory terms such as: anti, nutty, quack, crank, pseudo-science, debunking, conspiracy theory,
deniers and junk science. Sometimes astroturfers claim to "debunk myths" that aren't myths at all.
They declare debates over that aren't over. They claim that "everybody agrees" when everyone doesn't agree.
They aim to make you think you're an outlier when you're not. Astroturfers and propagandists tend to attack and
controversialize the news organizations, personalities and people surrounding an issue rather than sticking to the
facts. They try to censor and silence topics and speakers rather than engage them.
Julian
Castro and the Making of the Obama Myth. The people who created Barack Obama are
already working on their next creation — and that is Julian Castro. This warning comes
in the wake of a 2014 blog piece that claimed Julian Castro would be added to the ticket only to
boost Hillary Clinton's chances of winning Texas in 2016. I disagree that this is the purpose of
adding Castro; rather, he is set to become the "Hispanic Obama" as Tom Tancredo's excellent 2012
piece claimed. The main point here is that it is dangerous to underestimate the left's ability to
create political myths and Julian Castro is the perfect figure for this.
Why
Are Brian Williams and Hillary Held to Different Standards? The Brian Williams saga
has grown so large it now has its first victim of collateral damage: Hillary Clinton. You all know
the story by now and why it relates to Williams: The then-First Lady and then-teenage daughter
Chelsea making a trip to hostile Bosnia. The video and photos of Mrs. Clinton hugging children and
smiling as if making her first foray into Euro Disney. Not a care in the world, and certainly not
someone ducking and running from sniper fire, as she claimed numerous times on the 2008 campaign trail
before finally admitting it was all BS while blaming sleep deprivation. Hillary said in 2008 that
she "misspoke," which isn't much different from Williams saying he "misremembered".
Eric
Holder: I fixed George W. Bush's partisan Justice Department. Attorney General Eric
Holder pushed back against Republicans who said the Justice Department, under his leadership, had
become little more than a political machine to push liberal causes — and said that he's
actually cleaned up all the politicking that had taken place under the former Bush administration.
Debunked:
Media Hoax Claims 'American Sniper' Inspired Anti-Muslim Threats. It looks as though
the Left and the mainstream media gathered in their hollowed-out volcano over the weekend to cook up
another anti-science Narrative to destroy Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper." The latest lie is that
the film is inspiring a surge of death threats against Muslims. A thorough search of the countless
stories launched by this well-coordinated Narrative found exactly 3 Twitter examples in a country of
nearly 350 million.
Counter-Factual
World. One of the most interesting forms of rebuttal is to invoke the counterfactual.
Apparent failure must always be contextualized against the background of the what-might-have-been.
For example president Obama once claimed he saved 1.1 million jobs that would have been lost had he
not bailed out Detroit. We are also told that Obamacare has saved everyone money, although premiums
are rising under it, because premiums would have risen faster without the program. [...] While the outcomes
of his policies do not seem to be a success in themelves [sic], they are deceptively brilliant when it is
considered they headed off some alternative future which would have been far worse. This type of
reasoning is called counter-factual thinking "a concept in psychology that involves the human tendency to
create possible alternatives to life events that have already occurred; something that is contrary to what
actually happened."
Stalin, Muhammad
and Obama. President Obama and his commissars fit the longstanding pattern of behavior
(insistence, denial, castigation) that the hard left has embraced for generations. [...] Truth is
malleable. Facts are nuisances to be exterminated, along with troublesome people. Middle-class
notions of freedom must be shouted down. The rule of the intellectuals must be imposed. Never,
ever criticize the cause. Deny everything. Never forget that Islam's a religion of peace.
Kyle
Derangement Syndrome. With the release of Clint Eastwood's Chris Kyle biopic American
Sniper, based on the life of America's deadliest marksman, the Left has been eager to take potshots
at the late Navy officer and Iraq veteran. By deceptively quoting Kyle's 2012 autobiography (also
entitled "American Sniper"), they have gained traction for questionable interpretations and outright lies.
Here are the three most egregious falsehoods, and the truth his critics have willfully ignored.
Rep.
Rangel: Free College Important to The Security' of U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.)
says two years of free college "is really so important to the security of the United States of
America." In a TellDC video posted on YouTube last Friday, Rangel says, "The president's
recommendation that we have two years of free college is really so important to the security of
the United States of America."
New
IRS Data Expose Dems' Phony Tax-the-Rich Mantra. Democrats unveiled a plan Monday
that — surprise — would boost taxes on the rich. But new IRS data
show these soak-the-rich campaigns are based on total falsehoods.
2014:
The year the liberal lies died. Every single thing liberals say is a lie. No
exceptions. We conservatives always knew it, but 2014 was the year when the rest of America began
to understand. [...] The truth is poison to liberalism, so no wonder liberals hate the idea of a
free press — after all, they are the ones who argued to the Supreme Court in the
Citizens United case that the government has the right to ban books.
Rep.
Meeks (D-NY): NYPD Murders Not 'Connected' to Protests, Brown Family Wanted 'Nonviolence'. On MSNBC
with Jose Diaz-Balart last night, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) insisted that the murder of two NYPD policemen had
nothing to do with the protest movements that arose following the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. [...]
Meeks' statements are categorically false. Many of the coordinators of the demonstrations have unequivocally
advocated for violence against police, as has been assiduously monitored and recorded by thousands of camera-wielding
participants and media.
New
Republic Blames NRA For Deaths of Assassinated Police Officers. Yesterday
[12/22/2014], I critiqued an article in The New Republic by Claire Groden which argued the
anti-police protesters weren't to blame for the murders of two NYPD officers last weekend and that
the responsibility was that of the gunman alone. Today, The New Republic is singing a
different tune. According to an article written by Rebecca Leber, it's the NRA's fault that
the two officers are dead.
Dante's real danger isn't the NYPD.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has spoken of conversations with his son, Dante, about the "dangers he may
face" from the police. Like so many other assertions connected with the cases of Eric Garner and
Michael Brown, it is a fiction — and a dangerous one. Truth is, a young man of Dante de
Blasio's age faces far more danger from violent men his age than he does from cops. Zach Emanuel
found this out the hard way.
The Big Lie of the Anti-Cop Left Turns
Lethal. Since last summer, a lie has overtaken significant parts of the country,
resulting in growing mass hysteria. That lie holds that the police pose a mortal threat to black
Americans — indeed that the police are the greatest threat facing black Americans today.
Several subsidiary untruths buttress that central myth: that the criminal-justice system is biased
against blacks; that the black underclass doesn't exist; and that crime rates are comparable between
blacks and whites — leaving disproportionate police action in minority neighborhoods
unexplained without reference to racism. The poisonous effect of those lies has now manifested
itself in the cold-blooded assassination of two NYPD officers.
The
Worst Liberal Lies Of 2014. As 2014 comes to a close, what were the biggest liberal
lies of the year? Luckily, our friends at the Media Research Center compiled the top five lies made
by liberals this year that range from the missing Lois Lerner emails to not knowing who Jonathan Gruber
is, or what he did regarding health care policy.
It's
time to stop the lying! Thinking about the ease with which so many supposedly
educated Americans were manipulated into blood-curdling fury by the grand-jury decisions in the
Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases made me realize that most of the problems in our country are
caused by people who lie brazenly in order to pit one segment of society against another.
Awash in a Sea of Progressive
Lies. Let me start with Michael Brown. The evidence presented the grand jury has been released.
How can any rational human being read that stuff and not conclude that the policeman, Darren Wilson, was plainly within
his rights to use lethal force against the rampaging giant thug Brown? The whole story of "hands up" was as false
as false can be. Made up. It, however, fit the endless movie loop running in the heads of the progressive
mountebanks who dominate our media and entertainment industries, and fit in nicely with the narrative of the race hustlers
and corruptocrats who comprise this misadministration in Washington. The truth doesn't matter.
American
Deceptionalism. Americans are drawn to the latest spectacle surrounding Jonathan
Gruber — an MIT professor — paid almost six million dollars to assist in
deceiving the public with regard to the Affordable Care Act. Gruber recently treated the public to
another dose of contrived contrition before a televised Congressional committee. Gruber is one of
many foot soldiers in a larger war against truth waged in the American public sphere.
Lying for
the Cause. Well aside from "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor," or
blanket amnesty that is and is not lawful for a president to grant, there is a special category of
progressive mythology. Or rather a particular cast of "truth tellers," victims, supposed whistle
blowers, and popular liberal icons who spin tales for a supposedly higher good, on the premise that
untruth for a cause makes it sort of true.
Liberalism is an Ideology Built on Lies. Those of us
on the Right — conservatives, liberty lovers, traditionalists — operate under a paradigm that expects decision-making
about what will be accepted as real and genuine to be driven by truth-content. In other words, when we are asked to believe something,
we expect that there will be a factual, logical, reasonable, and truthful reason for doing so. We may often disagree about details,
but we unite in expecting that beliefs and positions will revolve around what is right, both factually and morally, i.e. "truth."
This emphatically cannot be said for the Left.
Liberalism Is a Hoax.
[Scroll down] Indeed, the foundations of the Brown story have been eroding from the moment a
St. Louis television station broadcast security video from the convenience store where Michael
Brown, prior to his fatal encounter, stole merchandise and assaulted a clerk. It was for example
claimed that Brown was shot in the back. The evidence before the grand jury showed that he was not.
Is the movement to "de-militarize" the police that was sparked by Brown's death therefore based on lies?
Two Americas.
The problem with Liberalism is that, as Margaret Thatcher observed, reality is conservative.
Therefore Liberalism has to live on lies — lies of intent, lies of policy, lies of
outcomes, lies of interpretation, lies of statistics. We saw that in ObamaCare. We see that in
Ferguson today.
Obama
is not doing enough to wreck the country. While Republicans have the luxury of only
needing to lie to conservatives, the Obama Administration and its mainstream media propaganda team
have raised lying to an art form not seen since the demise of the Soviet Union. There is no
longer any attempt to disguise the tactics employed by the radical left Democratic Party, which
fully endorses and shamelessly embraces lying and lawlessness as an "ends justify the means"
approach to achieving their goals. The media, formerly known as the people's watchdog, are now
nothing more than clapping seals, who never miss an opportunity to mislead or under-report in order
to nurture and protect the Democrats at the expense of journalistic integrity and the national interest.
Delusion: The
Minimum Wage Ended Slavery. Late last week, a prominent Wisconsin liberal community
organizer offered this gem of historical insight on Wisconsin Public Radio: "In fact, we had a
system where we didn't require employers to pay anything at all, it was called slavery." The
liberal was Jennifer Epps-Addison, who leads Wisconsin Jobs Now, an SEIU-founded and funded group
that functions as a get-out-the-vote operation for Democrats during elections and lately has championed
a minimum wage hike in Wisconsin.
More
than 60% of comments on Obamacare Facebook page over two years came from fewer than 100 people. More than
60 percent of comments on Obamacare's Facebook page have come from fewer than 100 people, a report has revealed.
The site has amassed 226,838 posts since September 2012 — a significant number that has boosted the page in search engines.
But an investigation by the Washington Times has found 136,103 of those were left by a small collection of Facebook users — many
of whom have at least three profiles.
Nancy
Pelosi says she doesn't know who Jonathan Gruber is. She touted his work in 2009.
[Scroll down] Pelosi clearly wants to distance herself and Obamacare from Gruber, given Gruber's controversial
comments about "the stupidity of the American voter," and Democrats are going to argue that Gruber
wasn't instrumental in the bill. But, as an architect of the Massachusetts health-care law and a
consultant to the White House on Obamacare, he's been regularly cited by Democrats as an authority
on this issue — including, apparently, by Pelosi.
Despite
Dem claims, trash-talking Gruber was well-paid adviser for ObamaCare and more. After a
string of videos have emerged showing [Jonathan] Gruber gloating about how the law's authors
exploited Americans' "stupidity," the White House has distanced itself. House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi even claimed: "I don't know who he is. He didn't help write our bill." But while
Jonathan Gruber might not have been a familiar name until this week for many, Pelosi and the rest of
the lawmakers who pushed the law certainly knew who he was in 2009 and 2010. A look at the record
shows he was in fact paid to advise the Department of Health and Human Services.
After
Election Day Debacle, J Street Deceives Supporters. Before the final votes were
counted on election night, the Progressive political action committee J Street was scrambling to
save face. [...] As the J Street spin machine was declaring victory Wednesday morning, I was
reminded of my father's timeless observation: "Only in America can you get blown out in an election
and still tell people you won." That is exactly what J Street is doing.
Heads
up to Obama, the GOP, and the media: You've got it all wrong! "Everybody agrees" is
one of those false statements the left loves the use. It bolsters their point by creating a feeling
there is massive (it doesn't get much bigger than "everybody") support for their position. There's
just one problem. The statement is a lie. Yet few question it. Coupled with that lie is a
statement that goes hand-in-hand with "everyone agrees," which is: "we've been talking about it for
years." Who's "we?" The left? Is that the "everyone" they're referring to? This
manner of speech is like a cheap marketing ploy for a product targeting a demographic of adolescents.
Voters'
verdict explodes Democratic myths. As Democratic losses mounted in Senate races across
the country on election night, some liberal commentators clung to the idea that dissatisfied voters
were sending a generally anti-incumbent message, and not specifically repudiating Democratic officeholders.
But the facts of the election just don't support that story.
Biden:
Dems Will Keep Senate, Americans Agree with Obama on 'Every Single Major Issue'. At
least one man is likely to be surprised if the polls prove accurate and Republicans take control of
the Senate. That's Vice President Joe Biden, who insists that Democrats will retain control of the
Senate because Americans agree with President Barack Obama on "every single major issue." Though
nearly every election forecast and poll have found otherwise, Biden insisted in a Monday CNN
interview that the polls and prognostications were wrong.
Wasserman
Schultz: Obama Is Democrats' 'Best Asset' in Election. Monday afternoon [11/3/2014] on
CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) backed up Vice President
Biden's prediction that Democrats would retain control of the Senate following Tuesday's election.
"Should the Democratic party as a whole be preparing for this takeover?" Tapper asked the Wasserman
Schultz. "I agree with the vice president, we're going to hold the Senate tomorrow night,"
Wasserman Schultz replied.
Our
Make-It-Up World. Progressives believed that because traditional protocols, language,
and standards were usually created by stuffy old establishment types, the rules no longer
necessarily should apply. Instead, particular narratives and euphemisms that promoted
perceived social justice became truthful. Bothersome facts were discarded.
Alison
Grimes doubles down on a 4-Pinocchio claim. In The [Washington Post] Fact Checker's
experience, the most fact-challenged ads are those that fly under the radar, as campaigns hope that
reporters don't notice the content — but voters do. This particular ad is especially
noteworthy because the candidate herself repeats a claim that The Fact Checker has already deemed
worthy of Four Pinocchios. Not only does she double down on this falsehood, but she makes another
highly questionable assertion as well.
Empty
chair stands in for US senator after she doesn't show up for televised contest. A
North Carolina U.S. senator had a PR nightmare Tuesday night after she failed to show up for a
televised debate, leaving an empty chair to stand in for her. Kay Hagan, a Democrat struggling to
keep her Senate seat in a year when Republicans have captured most of the political momentum, let
North Carolina Republican House Speaker Thom Tillis have the entire hour to himself, taking
questions from two moderators.
The Editor says...
Is the article above off-topic? No. If one agrees to a televised debate, one must make an appearance.
Sen.
Reid Won't Say Whether Americans Should Be Forcibly Barred From Asking Him a Question.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not respond to repeated questions from CNSNews.com
about whether American citizens who try to ask him a question in the Capitol hallway should be
physically barred from doing so by Capitol Police — as happened recently when reporter Jason Mattera
introduced himself, shook Reid's hand, and asked him a question about how he became a millionaire on
a government salary.
Debunking
Liberal Propaganda, One Lie At A Time. Here are some helpful links for those who find
themselves debating idiots who bring this nonsense up as proof that Socialism can work, if we only
had the right group of people to place in charge of it all, or if we would just be willing to do it
big enough.
Liberals
Wage War on the Truth. In the history of our nation, only the pro-slavery Democrats of
the 19th century rival the political deception employed by today's liberals that lead the modern
Democrat Party. Support of everything from abortion, to gender perversions, homosexuality,
pornography, a redefinition of marriage, wicked climate policies, and an enslaving welfare state
have made today's Democrat Party little more than a modern-day Mephistopheles. Instead of magic to
lure their Faustian targets, today's Democrats employ, among other things, bribery, class warfare,
fear, greed, lust, propaganda, scientism, vengeance, and violence. This is really unsurprising.
When your politics regularly conflict with absolute truth, constant deception is required.
'Unemployed' man in
Dem attack ad is actually employed. The ad comes from Maine Forward PAC, a group funded largely by
the DGA, which threw nearly $1 million into the group in September alone. The DGA was one of the
founding organizations for the PAC, along with some of Maine's largest labor unions. The ad
attempts to paint a somber picture of Maine's economic situation, and blames LePage for the state's
40,000 unemployed individuals. But the main image used to represent the unemployed is a man
named Roger Gay who is not unemployed at all.
Grimes
Staff Caught on Hidden Camera: She's Lying About Support for Coal Industry. U.S.
Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes is lying about her support for the state's coal industry
according to Kentucky Democrats, including members of her campaign team, who were captured on a
hidden camera video. The video, produced by conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe, shows five
employees of the Grimes campaign and local Democratic Party affiliates speculating that the
Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) is only professing her
support for the industry out of political expediency.
Friendly
Reminder: The 'Independent' Senate Candidate in Kansas is an Obama Donor. The man who
now stands as [Senator Pat] Roberts' only serious opposition is Greg Orman, a born-again "independent."
According to polling, which is still unsettled in the wake of the ballot upheaval, Orman holds a single-digit
lead over Roberts. Who is this guy? Put simply, he's a Democrat, despite his denials. He's
donated thousands to Obama, Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid, but now he's playing games by declining to state
which party he'd caucus with, if elected. That's not the only topic on which he's ducking and dissembling.
Beware False Flag Site "The American
Conservative". I recently stumbled across a website that purports to represent a center-right point-of-view called The
American Conservative. Initially intrigued — considering that Americans can always use compelling conservative
opinion sites — I perused the site and quickly noticed something a bit, well, off.
Honesty, Common Sense, and A Sound
Mind. Liberals are constantly spinning lies to explain away every failed liberal policy from the New Deal, ObamaCare to the
so-called Stimulus Package (the not-so-shovel-ready jobs bill). Liberals are just like children. They live in a fantasy world
and when faced with reality, they blame others. Unhinged Chris Matthews blames former Vice President Dick Cheney for creating al Qaeda
and ISIS. Feminist and liberal women refer to a baby as a fetus in order to deny the reality that abortion is the killing of an unborn
child. One hundred and fifty years after slavery was abolished and fifty years after the Civil Rights Act was signed into law, Liberal
intellectuals are hard at work inventing new theories and words such as white privilege, systemic racism, and micro aggression to explain
the state of the black community. On the other hand, conservatives have simply acknowledged the reality that the problems afflicting
the black community stems from the breakdown of the family.
The
Progressives: Modern and Postmodern. Consider former president Bill Clinton's much-maligned
statement: "That depends on what your definition of 'is' is." The Democratic Party claims that
Thomas Jefferson was the first president of their party, yet it is clear that there is a big difference
between the thinking of Thomas Jefferson and the recent President with "Jefferson" in his name —
and even a big difference between the thinking of Woodrow Wilson and the thinking of that recent president.
Thomas Jefferson believed that there are truths that are self-evident. Wilson rejected Jefferson's
self-evident truths. Clinton's statement goes even beyond Wilson to invoke a challenge to the very
possibility of truth.
Eight
Times that Democrats Used Court Shenanigans Against Republicans They Couldn't Beat at the Ballot
Box. The indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry on August 15, 2014 has drawn criticism
from pundits, politicians and papers all over the country. Some Democrats have disavowed the
indictment, going as far as to claim that launching courtroom attacks against their opponents in the
GOP is just not how Democrats operate. But is that the case? Or have Democrats shown a
disturbing pattern of using courtrooms to go after Republicans who pose a threat to them?
The Ferguson
Lie Comes Undone. The Big Fat Ferguson Lie has come undone. First they told us
Michael Brown was a gentle giant. That wasn't true. He was a thug, high on pot, fresh
from a robbery a few minutes before a police officer killed him on the troubled streets of Ferguson,
Missouri. Then they told us this 18-year old, 6'4, 280-pounder was shot in the back, trying
to get away. That's not true either. Then they told us the militarized police caused the
days and nights of rioting. Not true. Or the curfew did. Not true. Or the
lack of diversity on the police department was to blame. Not true either.
MSNBC
Contributor Michelle Bernard Sees 'War on Black Boys' in America, Fears 'Genocide'.
Move over, War on Women, there's a new war in town. On the August 18 edition of MSNBC's
Hardball, contributor Michelle Bernard warned there is a "war on black men" in the United
States, as evidence both by the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and persistent
criticism of President Barack Obama from Republicans. What's more, Bernard insisted, there would
be a "genocide" of young black men unless the problem were seriously addressed to her satisfaction.
The Editor says...
It is remarkable to hear left-wing "contributors" moan about the impending danger of genocide,
when such a thing is already underway,
and it is promoted by the Democratic Party.
MSNBC
Host: Obama, Holder Would Be 'Great Choices' For The Supreme Court. MSNBC host Michael
Eric Dyson claimed President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder would be "great choices"
as justices for The Supreme Court of the United States. Taking over for Ed Schultz on "The Ed
Show" Wednesday [8/13/2014], the Georgetown University professor broke down the two top officials' chances of
earning a lifetime chance on the bench after they leave office in 2016. Dyson said he doesn't
think Obama would be interested in a Supreme Court appointment. "I think that, look —
the man is so busy now, and he'll be even busier when he's out of office," he explained.
Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee's Staff Threatens Taxpayer For Asking About Her Impeachment Claims.
Congressional approval ratings are at a historic low, and after what has happened over the course of
the last twenty four hours — I can see why. On the House floor Wednesday [7/30/2014],
longtime Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee made the startling claim that "We did not seek an
impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had the authority." These are the
moments when you say "Really?" The problem here is that Rep. Lee lied to the American People
inside the People's House. Good thing for her that when you make speeches on the floor of the
House of Representatives you are not under oath or under the threat of perjury.
Elections
Are Coming And Republicans Are Wasting Their Time (Again). Mitt Romney was a high-road candidate like
every Republican presidential nominee since Ronald Reagan's second run. Republicans love to tell uplifting
stories that highlight the virtues of the opportunity society they intend to restore when elected. Well and good.
But who is going to listen to your story when your opponents are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to portray you as a
woman-hater, a racist, and a champion of the selfish rich? Unless Republicans are thinking about an answer to this
attack, they are wasting their time.
Administration
Official on Illegal Aliens: 'Jesus Was a Refugee'. The man who heads the federal agency responsible for
many of the 50,000 unaccompanied alien children from Central America who have entered the U.S. illegally in recent
months told a conference on Tuesday [7/8/2014] that those working with refugees should look to Jesus Christ as a role
model. "Jesus was a refugee, and that's a very good reminder to all of us," Eskinder Negash, director of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), said at the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops' (USCCB) 2014 Migration Conference in Washington, D.C.
The Editor says...
A refugee is one who flees to a foreign country to escape danger or persecution. Jesus never did that, and the
Bishops should be fully aware of the facts, unless they are more interested in politics and the expansion of their churches.
Can Shameless, Baseless Propaganda
Save the Dems? The comments of Massachusetts congresswoman Niki Tsongas provide a predictable example: "The
ruling by an all-male majority of the Court diminishes the rights of women in the workplace and sets a dangerous precedent that
could lead to corporations denying coverage of other health-care services." This is hysterical nonsense, of course.
No one's rights have been diminished, nor will the Hobby Lobby ruling lead to any woman being denied access to birth control.
But the facts don't matter in this battle. The Democrats are desperate to hold on to the Senate, at any price, and they are
perfectly willing to tell any lie necessary to accomplish that goal.
Three
Biggest Lies Liberals Spread about the Hobby Lobby Ruling. It's pretty easy to ignore
anguished and angry tweets. But many liberals on Twitter perpetuated falsehoods about the rulings.
They shouldn't be ignored. They should be countered. Here are three of them.
Why
Democrats insist on lying about how 'poor' they are. Hillary Clinton claimed that, at
the moment she and her husband were signing up for $18 million in book deals, that they were "dead
broke." Harry Reid (who lives in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel) said liberals are getting bullied by
Republican billionaires but the Democratic Party "doesn't have many billionaires" behind it. Joe
Biden (family earnings: $407,000 last year plus a free house, driver, meals, etc.) claims he "I
don't own a single stock or bond... I have no savings accounts... I'm the poorest man in
Congress." (Triple fail: Joe isn't poor, isn't in Congress and wouldn't be the
poorest member of it if he were.)
Revisionists
Have A Field Day On Why We Invaded Iraq. The Bush administration, like members of
Congress, underestimated the costs of the war and erred in focusing almost exclusively on Saddam's
supposed stockpiles of weapons. But otherwise, the war was legally authorized on 23 writs.
Most of them had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction and were unaffected by the later
mysterious absence of such weapons — which is all the more mysterious given that troves
of WMD have turned up in nearby Syria and more recently in Iraqi bunkers overrun by Islamic
militants.
The War on Social Science. In editorials,
sound bites, social media, and floor debate, the Left continues to insist that state and local tax burdens have no effect on economic growth,
that higher state spending on Medicaid and unemployment insurance creates jobs, that teacher assistants boost student achievement, and that
offering teachers bonuses to obtain graduate degrees makes them more effective in the classroom. None of these claims has empirical
support. For decades now, social scientists have examined each and found them wanting.
A nuanced version of 'What difference, at this point, does it make?' Hillary:
'It Doesn't Matter' If Bergdahl Deserted. In an interview on ABC's "World News with Diane Sawyer," set to
air Monday, June 9, the former Secretary of State said she would not second-guess the increasingly
unpopular decision by President Obama to trade five high-level Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba in exchange for Bergdahl. Clinton held fast to the "we bring our people home" talking point
and said the reports from Bergdahl's platoon members detailing how the he left his post, deserted
the Army and sought out the Taliban "doesn't matter."
Hillary
Clinton was 'dead broke' leaving White House despite more than $780,000 in assets. At
the end of Bill Clinton's presidency, the couple had big legal bills from investigations of
Whitewater and the Monica Lewinsky affair. Hillary Clinton's first Senate financial disclosure
forms, filed for 2000, listed assets of $781,000 to $1.8 million, and legal debts of $2.3 million
to $10.6 million. Still, as the Clinton presidency ended, the couple bought a $2.85 million home
in Washington and a $1.7 million spread in Chappaqua. And Hillary landed an $8 million advance for
her book, "Living History."
Hillary Clinton:
We were dead broke. Hillary Clinton, who recently raked in $5 million dollars in speaking
fees in 15 months, recounted to Diane Sawyer the sad tale of her former destitution, telling her, "We came out
of the White House not only dead broke but in debt." According to Clinton, she and her husband,
who has made over $100 million since leaving the White House, "struggled to, you know, piece
together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education, you know, it was not easy."
2001
was Hillary's Year of Great Fortune, not of being "dead broke". The problem is not
that the Clintons made a fortune. This is America, after all. People are entitled to make a fortune
so long as they do so lawfully, and we've not yet reached the point where the law dictates when
people have made enough. The problem is that Hillary is not being straight with the public. [...]
In mid-December 2000, a month before Bill left office, Hillary signed a book deal with a near
record $8 million advance.
Political
reporters unload on Hillary's gaffetastic day. Clinton's first gaffe of the day was
revealed in a clip of an interview she gave ABC's Diane Sawyer. In that interview, Clinton
attempted to relate to the working man by saying that, in spite of her family's current
multimillion dollar annual income, they were "dead broke" and "struggled" after leaving the White
House. They were so broke that they couldn't afford the mortgage on multiple houses, including
the house Hillary had to purchase in New York in order to run for U.S. Senate.
Hillary
Received $8 Million in Book Advance Before Leaving White House 'Broke' in 2000.
Hillary Clinton may not have been as "dead broke" as she's claimed her family was upon leaving the
White House in 2000. In the final month of her husband's presidency, Clinton reportedly inked a
near-record book advance deal worth millions. In an interview with Diane Sawyer to air on Monday
evening [6/9/2014], Clinton explained that she and her husband had to earn millions from speaking engagements
because they were so deep in debt. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to piece
together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education — it was not easy," she
told Sawyer.
Hillary:
We 'Struggled' to Buy 'Houses' After White House. Hillary further explains, "Bill has
worked really hard — and it's been amazing to me — he's worked very hard.
First of all, we had to pay off all our debts, which was, you know, he had to make double the money
because of obviously taxes and then pay off the debts and get us houses and take care of family
members."
The Editor says...
It is amusing to hear Hillary Clinton complain about taxes, which are painfully high because
of left-wing tax-and-spend liberals like her.
Hillary Clinton
backpedals on 'dead broke' comments. Hillary Clinton attempted to walk back remarks
that she and her husband came out of the White House "dead broke" — saying she knows
their life is "obviously blessed." "Let me just clarify that I fully appreciate how hard life is
for so many Americans today," Clinton said on ABC's "Good Morning America" Tuesday [6/10/2014].
Corrine
Brown: No VA problems in Florida. A stampede of Florida politicians, Republicans and
Democrats, have joined the national outcry about problems at the VA. But Rep. Corrine Brown remains
convinced about one thing: "We're doing fine in Florida," she said this evening at a VA hearing,
listing projects in the state.
The
Hidden Cost Chickens in Obamacare Coming Home to Roost. Labor unions have been reliable supporters of
President Obama and his policies. Their support for Obamacare was critical to its passage in 2010. Yet
they are continuing to learn that their members will be paying more for their healthcare, not less. One of the
selling points of Obamacare was the lowering of health insurance costs. Nancy Pelosi promised, "Everybody will
have lower rates." President Obama was more specific, telling us that his signature program would "Bring down
premiums by $2,500 for the typical family." A year later, however, Mrs. Pelosi, in the face of rising premiums
for many, forgot her promise of the previous year, "I don't remember saying that everybody in the country would have
a lower premium."
'Check
Your Privilege' Say the Most Subsidized and Entitled Among Us. "Check your privilege"
has emerged as a term of derision and dismissal used by radical leftists to both attack opponents
and avoid confronting the substance of arguments. [...] Some of the more extreme uses of the
phrase include MSNBC host Touré Neblett telling Holocaust survivors to "check their
privilege" before opining on public policy. Then there's this Twitter thread where two black
professing feminists tell a white woman that it's impossible for her to be raped, because she's white.
Democrat Pays Homeless
Workers Below Minimum Wage. Atlanta city councilwoman and self proclaimed community
activist Cleto Winslow, was found to have used homeless men and women to work on her campaign.
She gave them tee shirts and told them they were part of her campaign. She also paid them five dollars
an hour, well below minimum wage. To make matters worse, she paid them with taxpayer money.
Nancy
Pelosi blames George W. Bush for Veterans Affairs scandal. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., repeatedly put
the blame for the Veterans Affairs scandal on former President George W. Bush, while arguing that her party has worked hard for
veterans in recent years. Pelosi took a shot at Bush while saying that the scandal is a high priority for Obama.[...] The
Democratic leader never mentioned Bush by name, but she alluded to him early and often in the press briefing.
Dem
Congressman: 'We've Proved That Communism Works'. Democratic Florida Rep. Joe
Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught
red-handed in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of
federal immigration workers is proof that "Communism works." Garcia made the comment during a
Google hangout he convened last week to talk about comprehensive immigration reform with supporters.
The Democrat attempted to point out how, for all their talk about limited government, many Republicans
are fine spending loads of government money on border security.
Dem Rep: Communism Works!.
"The safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city
in the America's, which is Juarez. Right?" Garcia asked a Google Hangout participant. "Two of the
safest cities in America are on the border with Mexico. Of course, the reason is we've proved that communism
works. If you give everybody a good government job, there is no crime," Garcia said.
The Editor asks...
Does El Paso, or any city in the world, have zero unemployment and zero crime?
Chelsea
Clinton's In-Law Marjorie Margolies Skips Own Fundraiser With Hillary. Tonight's campaign
fundraiser for Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District hopeful Marjorie Margolies is just like any
campaign fundraiser featuring an appearance by Hillary Clinton. Except the candidate, who happens
to be Chelsea Clinton's mother-in-law, won't be there. Margolies' absence from her own fundraiser
might surprise those who had hoped to catch a glimpse of the once and hopes-to-be-future congresswoman.
The thousand-dollar-a-head event's invitation requested "the pleasure of your company at an event for
Marjorie Margolies with Special Guest Hillary Rodham Clinton," but never mentioned that Margolies would
not be in attendance.
The Editor says...
Imagine yourself paying $1000 per capita to see some congressional candidate and he or she didn't bother to attend.
Those of you who don't mind being lied to in such a manner can continue to vote for Democrats.
Personally, I wouldn't shrug off a thousand-dollar snub.
Reid: Kochs
'main cause' of climate change. Charles and David Koch are one of the "main causes" of climate change,
charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor. "While the Koch brothers admit to not being
experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly experts at contributing to climate change.
That's what they do very well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, one of the main
causes," Reid said.
Sanders Compares Efforts To Raise Minimum Wage to Pre-MLK Civil Rights
Movement. At a rally of fast food workers in North Carolina, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) compared the
efforts of those who want to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour to the civil rights activists who paved the way
for Martin Luther King Jr. "There are brave people who are out in front. Martin Luther King Jr. didn't
start by himself, and there were people out there 50 years before him breaking down the barriers. Great
labor leaders were doing this a hundred years ago," Sanders said at the April 26 rally for Raise Up For 15
in Charlotte.
Michigan Dems Waging War
on a Woman. Michigan Democrats are doubling down on the war on women narrative, despite rebuttals
from female GOP Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land and warnings from leading liberal thinkers that the strategy
could backfire. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's Super PAC is bombarding Michigan airwaves with ads
calling Land's pro-life views "radical" and "backwards."
Kay
Hagan Repeats Dishonest Attack on GOP Opponent. As previously noted, Sen. Kay Hagan (D., N.C.)
has attacked her presumptive GOP opponent, Thom Tillis, as a hypocrite for wanting to repeal Obamacare despite
having once described it as a "great idea." It's completely dishonest. Tillis did say that, but
here's the full context: "The majority of the stuff that is in Obamacare is bad, because it's not
fiscally sustainable. It's a great idea that can't be paid for."
Teachers
Union Boss Randi Weingarten: My Salary's Only $360K. American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President
Randi Weingarten, who was paid $543,150 last year, defended her compensation by claiming her pay is $360,000 and
other reported expenses simply prove the union's "transparency." [...] "Justice means that hardworking people
must have access to a living wage," Weingarten wrote. AFT paid Weingarten $556,981 in 2012 and $543,150 in 2013.
Hillary: Jesus' loaves and
fishes thing was his way of teaching us liberal policies. A good rule of thumb with
Hillary Clinton is this: If it comes out of her mouth, it's insincere. You will never lose money
taking that bet 100 times out of 100. And a good corollary to that rule is this:
When she tells you what something is supposed to mean, that's not what it means at all. Especially
when she's talking about the Bible.
The Editor says...
Politically-motivated blasphemy of this sort is especially reprehensible because it takes advantage of the
profound ignorance of the Bible that has resulted from the removal of Christianity from the public schools.
The
Left's Favorite Talking Point Disproved by Science. "The picture drawn of the 1 percent
has been that of a static population, just as the 99 percent is often portrayed as unchanging,"
[Mark R.] Rank writes. "There is a line drawn between these two groups, and never the two shall
cross." But are these assertions corroborated by science? Or is the reality more complex?
Is American society more fluid economically than liberals would have us believe? That's what Rank and
his scientific research partner Thomas A. Hirschl sought to find out by examining 44 years of
data regarding incomes.
DCCC
chair Steve Israel: 'Significant extent' of Republicans are racist. Some Republican
lawmakers are racist because a "significant extent" of conservative voters are racist, according to
the congressman leading the Democratic bid to regain control of the House of Representatives.
"Not all of them, no, of course not," New York Rep. Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee, told CNN's Candy Crowley when she asked if he believed that
Republican congressmen are racist. "But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have
elements that are animated by racism, and that's unfortunate."

Admitting
Global Warming "Info Manipulation". Climate Depot ran a story about a peer-reviewed
journal article that defends exaggerating about global warming. I decided to check it out.
Sure enough. The need for international global warming agreements is so urgent, the authors claim,
that "exaggeration" is justified in communicating with the great unwashed so as to increase their pessimism.
[...] "Information manipulation" undermines people's trust in science (at least, by association), destroys
what is left of the media's credibility on this issue, and is toxic to democratic deliberation.
We have known we are being manipulated in this debate for a long time. The good news is that it
doesn't work well anymore except among those who are ideologically committed Chicken Littlists.
Harry
Reid Now Spreading Baseless Claim that Koch Brothers Don't Pay Corporate Taxes. The claim that the
Koch brothers don't pay corporate income taxes was first made by former White House official Austan Goolsbee, but
Koch Industries lawyer Mark Holden disputed the accusation and raised the question of whether someone in the Obama
administration illegally accessed the Kochs' tax returns. Goolsbee's comments led to a federal
investigation — the results of which have never been released.
Do 60 percent of women use 'birth control' for something other than
family planning? We were curious about these figures, as in 2012 The [Washington Post] Fact Checker
had previously examined the claim that 98 percent of Catholic women used birth control. It turned out
that the figure — from a study by the Guttmacher Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that
promotes reproductive health and had started as an arm of Planned Parenthood — was often
mischaracterized by politicians and the media.
Is
George Orwell Working in the White House? Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's denial
that he ever said that citizen complaints about Obamacare were merely lies and Obama's assertion that he
never drew a "red line." Or Kathleen Sebelius's claim that she never said that the sign-up goal for
Obamacare was seven million people are perfect examples of how the Democrats are brazenly following the apparent
policy of Orwell's "Party" in 1984 to reverse reality from what it actually was to what they want it
to be. Apparently not content with trying to have life imitate art in the form of 1984, Obama's minions
are now pushing further change under the guise of what they are calling "income inequality."
Harry Reid: People
Aren't Educated on How to Use the Internet. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said the fault of
struggling to sign up on the Obamacare exchanges didn't lie with the faulty website, but with the people who
weren't "educated on how to use the Internet." Explaining the reasoning behind the latest Obamacare delay,
Reid said too many people just didn't know to use their computer properly and needed more time. Apparently, it
had nothing to do with the well-documented failings of the website that have embarrassed the White House for months.
Harry
Reid: I don't recall accusing Republicans of lying about ObamaCare horror stories. Maybe,
from moment to moment, this guy just ... doesn't realize what's coming out of his mouth. Hard to
believe he could forget saying on the Senate floor that all ObamaCare horror stories — all
of them — are a GOP/Koch brothers fairy tale designed to besmirch the stellar reputation
of the Affordable Care Act.
A
Rebuttal To First Lady's Claim That They Welcome Criticism. They sure have a strange way of showing their
"welcome." What was the IRS scandal but a project to "shut up conservative voices" that criticize the president?
The IRS is now in the process of codifying the rules they used to illegally target conservative 501(C)(4) groups.
This president has been at war with Fox News since the early days of his administration, and has called out Rush Limbaugh
and Sean Hannity by name. This is the president of "Fight the Smears," "Attack Watch," "Truth Team," and Linda
Douglass's ghastly "snitch network" which was set up to squelch "misinformation" (aka "the truth") about ObamaCare.
And just last month the FCC had to shelve their plans to have "news police" monitoring newsrooms, only because of the
huge public outcry.
Nancy Pelosi is
certain: Obama is most 'non-partisan' president. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that
President Obama is the least partisan president she has worked with during her extensive time in Washington, and said
the problem lies with the GOP. "This is as non-partisan a president as I've ever served with," the California
Democrat said at her weekly press briefing.
Michelle
Obama: It's very rare that I have the chance to travel outside of the United States. During
her visit to China, first lady Michelle Obama pointed out that the ability to travel outside of the United
States was "rare" but that she chose China for a reason. "It's very rare that I have the opportunity
to travel outside of the United States, and it's even more rare to have the opportunity to travel with three
generations — with my daughters, and with my mother," she said. "And it is no accident that
one of our first trips as a family is here to China."
The Editor says...
Does Mrs. Obama expect anyone to believe that this is one of her first trips, or that a junket that excludes
her husband is undertaken "as a family?"
No,
House Republicans haven't voted 50 times to repeal Obamacare. For more than a year, Democrats and their advocates
in the press have been ridiculing the GOP's anti-Obamacare efforts. "The House Republicans have voted more than 30 times
to repeal Obamacare," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in March 2013. "The House has wasted weeks voting more than
40 times to repeal Obamacare," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in October of last year. "If at first you don't
succeed, try 50 times — Republicans [are] holding a 50th vote to repeal Obamacare," MSNBC's Al Sharpton said
last week. Many others have said similar things. The only problem is, the truism isn't true. The House has
actually voted to repeal Obamacare in its entirety six times. Certainly Democrats think that is six too many. But
it is not 50, or even close to 50.
Jay Carney: I Never
Told A Lie. Outgoing White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Thursday [6/19/2014]
that he never lied to the media. "The answer is no," he answered when The Daily Caller asked him
"did you ever lie to us?" "Honestly, it is not because I'm a paragon of virtue, it is because that would
be terrible way to do the job," he said at a June 18 breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
2014 Strategy: Obama's Top 5
Distractions. With Democratic 2014 Senate and House hopes receding faster than the rise of the tides under President
Obama, the Obama administration and Democratic Party have decided to resort to their favorite page in the political playbook:
distraction and misdirection. [...] On Monday night, Democrats took to the floor of the Senate, talking for 15 straight hours about
climate change. [...] The purpose of the all-nighter was to create the perception of conservatives as Bible-thumping cretins.
Liberals are afraid to say what they mean, so they resort to doubletalk. U.S. now calls Guantánamo hunger strike 'long
term non-religious fasting'. The Guantánamo Bay prison has adopted a new forced-feeding policy that rhetorically recasts the
year-long hunger strike in the remote prison camps as "long term non-religious fasting." The Pentagon disclosed the rebranding effort
Tuesday [3/11/2014] with the release of a 24-page how-to document developed by the prison camps in December. It blacks out specifics that
apparently define how much weight loss and how many missed meals qualify a hunger-striking captive for the prison's twice-daily tube feedings.
CIA Chief: Jihad a
Product of Injustices, Economics, and Ignorance. CIA director John Brennan is at it again — equivocating over the
nature of jihad by evoking paradigms familiar to the West. Last Tuesday [3/11/2014], "during an event at the Council of Foreign
Relations, Brennan was asked about the 'war of ideas' surrounding Islam, which the questioner said many Americans tend to equate with
violence." The CIA chief responded by saying that al-Qaeda's ideology is "a perverse and very corrupt interpretation of the
Qur'an"; that "al-Qaeda has hijacked" Islam; that "they have really distorted the teachings of Muhammad."
Progress
Texas Photoshops Paraplegic Attorney General to be Standing Up in Ad. Progress Texas, a liberal group in Texas that supports Democratic
candidates, released what appears to be a standard attack ad against Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott — with one major
exception. Abbott is portrayed in the ad standing up holding a piggy bank. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal and hardly would
merit an article, but Abbott was paralyzed from the waist down in 1984 and uses a wheelchair. He can't stand up. This
is just another odd example of how liberal Texas groups are uncomfortable with Greg Abbott's disability.
Boxer warns Keystone will
cause cancer. Sen. Barbara Boxer wants to add a new element to the Keystone XL oil pipeline debate: its effects on health.
The California Democrat claims negative health effects from the proposed pipeline's development were ignored by the State Department's
environmental impact review. "The Environmental Impact Statement was woefully inadequate when it came to exploring human impacts of
the pipeline," Boxer said Wednesday [2/26/2014] at a press conference held with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and anti-Keystone XL
activists and environmentalists.
California Democrat
Says Keystone Pipeline Would Cause Cancer And Heart Disease. California Senator Barbara Boxer has come up with yet another
reason to kill the Keystone XL Pipeline Project. According to the senator, the pipeline would lead to increased serious illness in
America. In a Wednesday [2/26/2014] press conference held with with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), anti-Keystone XL activists and
environmentalists, Boxer said the pipeline would add pollutants to the air that would increase the likelihood of people getting cancer
or heart disease.
Democrat
Party Claims Reagan Served in Congress on Official Twitter Account. On February 28th, the Democrat Party used their official
Twitter account to tell followers the minimum wage is worth less than "when Ronald Reagan was in Congress." The problem — Reagan
was never in Congress. He was an actor who became Governor of California (1967-1975) and President of the United States (1981-1989).
Sebelius
Denies Well-Documented ObamaCare Joblessness. Secretary of HHS Kathleen Sebelius claims "there is absolutely no evidence" that health
reform is killing jobs. Liars are legion in politics, but they usually stop short of claiming the sun didn't rise this morning.
It's not good to have a
president who can't be trusted. [President Bill] Clinton's lies led to his impeachment. The public didn't seem to care
that much because as Democrats and the media repeatedly said, it was "just about sex" and everyone lies about sex. Former CBS News
anchor Dan Rather had a curious spin on lying when he told Fox's Bill O'Reilly that even though Clinton lied about not having sex with Monica
Lewinsky, he still believed Clinton to be an honest man: "I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things," said
Rather.
Dems Trying to Blame IRS IG for Targeting
Scandal. This is really quite the novel approach to the IRS targeting scandal by congressional Democrats. Seeking to change the
narrative in order to get on top of scandal, Democrats have hit upon the idea to blame the IRS Inspector General, Russell George, for the scandal
getting out of hand. How do they figure that? It appears that many Democrats were unhappy with Mr. George's initial report on the scandal,
believing it to be "misleading."
Pelosi: I Don't
Know If Any of My Staffers Have Gone On to Work for Federal Contractors. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) seemed unaware that
several of her former staffers have gone on to lobby for big corporations Thursday on The Daily Show. [...] A brief search of Pelosi's
revolving door records on Open Secrets reveals 28 records of current and former staffers who have gone through the "revolving door"
between Congress, lobbying firms and the private sector.
Wheelchair Truthers. Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott
became a paraplegic in 1984, when an oak tree fell on him while he was jogging. Ever since, he's been confined to a wheelchair. Or, at
least, that's what he'd like you to think. Some Texas liberals are questioning whether Abbott is really a paraplegic, and they are
asking for proof.
Fact-Free Liberals. Recently Kirsten Powers repeated
on Fox News Channel the discredited claim that women are paid only about three-quarters of what a man is paid for doing the same work.
But there have been empirical studies, going back for decades, showing that there is no such gap when the women and men are in the same occupation,
with the same skills, experience, education, hours of work and continuous years of full-time work. Income differences between the sexes
reflect the fact that women and men differ in all these things — and more. Young male doctors earn much more than young female
doctors. But young male doctors work over 500 hours a year more than young female doctors.
WaPo Fact Checker Gives
Obamacare Enrollment Numbers Three Pinocchios. Lately, President Obama's political action group, Organizing for Action (OFA), has claimed that
six million Americans have successfully signed up for Obamacare. However, even The Washington Post Fact Checker finds this assertion to be suspect.
Kerry: 'Root Cause of Terrorism'
Is Poverty. Secretary of State John Kerry covered a broad range of topics with his counterpart Pietro Parolin at the
Vatican in Rome on Monday [1/13/2014]. Besides Syria, the Middle East peace process, Sudan, and Cuba, the subject of poverty
came up during their discussions. In remarks following the meeting, Kerry linked poverty not only to terrorism, but to
the "disenfranchisement of millions."
Income Inequality: The Left's Next
Big Con. With the possible exception of global warming fraud, it would be difficult to identify another major political
issue more dependent upon innumerable, uncontrollable variables than the difference in what two persons might earn or deserve. In
the case of both ideological causes, anyone claiming to have measured the variables, predicted them or solved for them in concocting a
solution is nothing but a con artist. And what do con men do? They steal.
"Republican Main Street
Partnership" is Democrat Funded. Steve LaTourette, a former congressman and friend of John Boehner, runs the "Republican
Main Street Partnership." Note the word "Republican." As the left-wing Talking Points Memo reported a month ago,
LaTourette and his Main Street Partnership have created an affiliated SuperPAC called "Defending Main Street PAC." Along with
the Chamber of Commerce and Republican Leaders, the Main Street Partnership wants to take out troublesome conservatives.
Change the Name to Change the Game.
While most see 1984 as a condemnation of massive state control, Progressive Democrats apparently look at it as sort of a user's manual.
Well, at least as far as the nomenclature used to describe government actions is concerned. Think of Orwell's newspeak.
For instance, we don't have wars any more. No, no. We have "overseas contingency operations." There is no longer any
terrorism in the world. That has been replaced by "man-caused disasters." [...] Sheila Jackson Lee must have brushed up on her Orwell
just before the speech because she recommended a change in the term "welfare" to the phrase "a transitional living fund."
Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee: Change the Word 'Welfare' to 'Transitional Living Fund'. In a brief speech on the House floor
Wednesday [1/8/2014], Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) hailed the war on poverty, endorsed government welfare programs, and said
the "safety net has to be something for all of us." "Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of, 'a transitional
living fund.' For that is what it is — for people to be able to live," she said.
No, Public Schools Are Not
'Jammed' with Students. It's remarkable how often the conventional wisdom conflicts with data and evidence. A recent article
in the New York Times illustrates the case of public-school class sizes. It describes schools as "jammed" because of an up-tick in
student-teacher ratios coming out of the recession. It's the type of story that fits comfortably within the (erroneous) conventional wisdom
about underfunded schools.
No Extremists Here. The trick isn't finding a
pronouncement by a liberal politician which — in a way nearly unique to politics — simultaneously brings a grimace,
a giggle, and a groan, but figuring out whether the speaker is an outright liar or just living in a liberal echo chamber [...] Congresswoman
Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is a reliable representative of the
outright liar camp: No echo is loud enough to make her actually believe that Democratic candidates will run (and win) on the
issue of Obamacare, but she says it repeatedly, hoping that the Big Lie strategy will work just one more time.
Are Republicans
Sabotaging Obamacare with Fraudulent Websites? Progressives, usually content to wait a few years to start their revisionist
history, are now revising on the fly. In their alternative reality, they've found a way to blame Republicans for (arguably) the
most epic website failure in the history of the internet.
Melissa Harris-Perry:
'Obamacare' a 'Derogatory Term' Conceived by 'Wealthy White Men'. MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry opened her program over the weekend
with a commentary about the Affordable Care Act's colloquial moniker: "Obamacare." She said that the word was originally created as
a "derogatory term," designed by white men as a way to delegitimize President Barack Obama and his achievement. However, she said that the
term will soon be synonymous with all of Obama's accomplishments and she urged her audience to use the term with pride.
Newspeak's
Comeback and the Invincible Sincerity of America's Liberal Elite. The president was not lying when he promised that people could keep
their existing health insurance. He was using Newspeak, a language which allows reigning liberals to convince themselves that they aren't
restricting others' liberties.
The Party of Big Lies. The
"big picture" Nancy speaks of was ramming a draconian and expensive government-run health care system down the throats of the
American people by any means necessary. The instrument of this particular coup d'état was not a military
faction seizing power on behalf of its fearless leader, merely a big lie. The lie was the ammunition. Soft-headed
Americans were the weapons. They elected the liar in the White House twice. And here is the point: Obama
and Pelosi lie so easily because for them there is but one objective truth — power.
Obamacare and Liberal Cruelty. [Scroll down]
Democrats are even willing to have government lie to us for our own good. Without the lies, they wouldn't have gotten Obamacare passed, and once
passed, they would have been voted out of office in 2012. They didn't want the voters to have the option to say no, because they know better what
people should want. They are the good people who care. Those who oppose them are the bad people, who should be vilified and driven from
the public arena.
Reid,
Democrats trigger 'nuclear' option; eliminate most filibusters on nominees. Senate Democrats took the dramatic step Thursday of
eliminating filibusters for most nominations by presidents, a power play they said was necessary to fix a broken system but one that Republicans
said will only rupture it further. Democrats used a rare parliamentary move to change the rules so that federal judicial nominees and
executive-office appointments can advance to confirmation votes by a simple majority of senators, rather than the 60-vote supermajority that
has been the standard for nearly four decades.
Reid in 2008: 'As Long As I Am
The Leader' We Will Not Have a Nuclear Option. Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said in a 2008 interview that as long as he was the Senate
Majority Leader, the nuclear option would never happen under his watch. "As long as I am the Leader, the answer's no," he said. "I think
we should just forget that. That is a black chapter in the history of the Senate. I hope we never, ever get to that again because I really
do believe it will ruin our country.
"We All Knew" Obama Was Lying. On Sunday [11/17/2013],
appearing on ABC's This Week with fill-in host Martha Raddatz, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) admitted that Democrats knew full well that
Americans would be booted from their health insurance plans as an effect of Obamacare implementation.
Democrat Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand Admits: 'We All Knew' Obama was Lying About Obamacare. In what should be considered a shameful admission, Democrat
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand admitted on ABC's This Week [11/17/2013] that all democrats knew that Obama was lying when he fraudulently
repeated over 30 times that, "If you like your insurance plan, you can keep it, period." When asked by host guest host, Martha Raddatz, if
Gillibrand felt misled by Obama's promise to Americans of being able to keep their current health insurance plan, Gillibrand responded,
"He should have just been more specific. No, we all knew."
Incoherence:
Democrats offer contradictory excuses over 'keep your plan' lie. As the White House flails and fumbles, Congressional
Democrats have been left to their own devices to engage in freelance damage control. The yarn they're spinning is a tangled web,
indeed. To hear people like House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand tell it, of course they
knew that 'keep your plan' wasn't exactly accurate. The president employed "imprecise" language, Hoyer allowed last month.
Hey, "we all knew" Obama's categorical pledge wasn't quite right, Gillibrand added over the weekend, lamenting that
Democrats hadn't adequately explained all the details.
The True Face of Collectivism. When you
take up the mantle of individual freedom you become not selfish but responsible. You live not by following orders but by voluntary exchange:
of work, of favors, of property, of trust. And everything is done by agreement, by "sober, yet cheerful earnestness," and not by force.
All this has been codified into political philosophy, limited government, property rights, and settled science. But liberals insisted
that they knew better. Oh dear. Now it looks like liberals didn't know anything after all. Except how to brazenly lie to
the American people.
27 Democratic
senators who promised you could keep your health coverage. President Obama has taken a lot of heat for promising that if Americans
liked the health coverage that they had before Obamacare, they would be able to keep it under the new law. But the president wasn't the only
Democrat in Washington who made that false promise. Many, many other Democratic officeholders said the same thing.
ObamaCare,
Other Scandals, Virtually Ignored By Big Media. The same people who freaked out over President Bush's saying in a State of the Union
speech that Saddam Hussein sought uranium in Africa now excuse Obama for saying everywhere, endlessly, "If you like your insurance plan, you will
keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you." To them, that's not lying — blatantly, repeatedly,
shamelessly. He simply "misspoke," claimed the New York Times editorial page.
What do lying Democrat President Clinton and lying Democrat President Obama have in common? Why Obama's non-apology won't work.
When President Clinton apologized for lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, he was able to argue that it was ultimately a personal
matter and successfully urged the public to move on. But President Obama's current problems are not of the personal nature. Instead,
over a period of five years, he repeatedly told Americans that under his health care legislation, those who liked their current health care
policies could keep them. And now that millions of Americans have been receiving cancellation notices from their health insurers, the
media has finally awakened to the fact that he was lying all along.
Lies of Obamacare, Documented. [Scroll down]
The baleful consequences of Obamacare that we are now seeing — there are many more to come — were known and foreseen in 2010. The
Democrats voted down the Republicans' effort to preserve the health care plans that Americans already like on a party-line vote. The Democrats knew that
Obama had been lying through his teeth, and they voted unanimously to sustain his lies.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: 'Nothing'
Obama or I Said About Obamacare 'Was Not True'. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) joined MSNBC anchor
Chris Jansing on Tuesday [11/5/2013] where she insisted that "nothing" she or President Barack Obama said about the Affordable Care Act prior to its passage or
implementation "was not true."
Race is
Obama's "Get Out of Jail Free" card. [The great Obamacare lie] is just one of a growing list of disturbing questions surrounding the Obama
Administration, if not the Oval Office itself: Operation Fast and Furious, IRS targeting, NSA surveillance, Benghazi, NLRB recess appointments, weak
economic recovery, expanding welfare nanny-state, exorbitant debt growth, and the sacking of almost 200 senior military officers. In every case
the response from Obama is either that: He didn't know about it; it is an unimportant or a phony scandal; it's someone else's fault —
generally the Republicans or the Tea Party.
Mika Suggests Obama 'Too Smart' For The
Job. Too smart to be President. Is that really Barack Obama's problem? Mika Brzezinski thinks so. On today's [11/4/2013] Morning
Joe, as Mike Barnicle and John Heilemann kicked around the notion, as others have before, that President Obama doesn't much like politics and the people
in it, Brzezinski piped up with a different explanation for his aloofness: he's "too smart for the job," she suggested.
The Editor says...
I can provide copious evidence that Barack H. Obama is not all that bright.
Obamacare
laid bare. [Scroll down] Obamacare is the largest transfer of wealth in recent American history. But you can't say that openly lest you lose
elections. So you do it by subterfuge: hidden taxes, penalties, mandates and coverage requirements that yield a surplus of overpayments.
So that your president can promise to cover 30 million uninsured without costing the government a dime. Which from the beginning was the
biggest falsehood of them all. And yet the free lunch is the essence of modern liberalism. Free mammograms, free preventative care, free
contraceptives for Sandra Fluke. Come and get it.
Obamacare is a River of Lies.
How many Republican votes were for it? Zip, zero, nada, zilch. In either chamber of Congress. The Democrats, and their little
sycophants, own this. They were all prepared to bask in the glory, set up a permanent Democrat majority, and pulverize the Republican party.
But ObamaCare is a river of lies, with headwaters in hell. It was falsely conceived, falsely legislated, falsely adjudicated, falsely reported,
falsely coded, and, unexpectedly, enjoyed a false rollout.
Can We Finally Stop Pretending? [Scroll
down] Can we finally stop pretending that they are not also lying to us about everything else? Can we stop pretending they are not
lying to us about guns, and abortion, and voter fraud, and voter ID laws, and taxes, and the economy, and the environment, and education,
and energy, and job creation, and national security, and international relations, and Islam, and their assault on Christianity, and amnesty, and
entitlements, and stimulus, and recovery, and Fast and Furious, and Benghazi, and the IRS scandal, and a war on women, and our borders, and domestic
surveillance, and weakening us militarily, and their supposed loyalty as Americans, [...]
Rangel falsely
claims no Republicans voted for Social Security, sidetracks ObamaCare hearing. Lawmakers had to pause for a fact check about a 78-year-old
law during a hearing that was supposed to be about ObamaCare, after Rep. Charles Rangel made the — inaccurate — claim that no
Republicans supported the Social Security Act. The New York Democrat made the assertion Tuesday [10/29/2013] while railing against Republicans for
opposing the health care law. It was during a House hearing where Marilyn Tavenner, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was testifying.
Rep. Joe Wilson Vindicated. On September 9, 2009,
Joe Wilson, Congressman from South Carolina, shouted "You lie!" when President Obama was touting the benefits of his Affordable Care Act, now dubbed
"Obamacare." Many in America were shocked that anyone would call the President of the United States a liar in such a forum as a presidential address
to a joint session of Congress. But, now, as we look back on 5 years of Barack Obama, we see that Obama and his Administration do lie.
And they lie a lot.
White
House admits it was behind rumor. The White House admitted Thursday that it was the source of a phony quote attributed to a top House Republican,
who had allegedly told President Obama during a tense Oct. 10 meeting that 'I cannot even stand to look at you.' Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate
Majority Whip, claimed in a Facebook post on Sunday [10/20/2013] that an unnamed GOP lawmaker had delivered the verbal slap in Obama's face, but everyone
involved with the story now says it never happened.
Conyers: Obamacare Just A 'Very Small and Modest Bill'.
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) calls Obamacare a "very small and modest bill," even though he previously said he failed to see the point in reading it "if it's a thousand pages"
and required lawyers to decipher it.
How Crazy Are The Democrats? The Democrats have achieved a
public relations coup that any ministry of propaganda would be proud of. Worried that the United States is $17 trillion in debt? Radical! Unconcerned
about deficits that pile up as far as the eye can see? Responsible! Unhappy about an anemic economy in which a generation of young people struggles to find
full-time employment? Traitor! Content with record levels of poverty and non-employment? Moderate! Want to get rid of a law that is opposed by most
Americans, decimates the economy and is patently unworkable? Crazy! Delighted at the sight of millions of Americans losing their health insurance and being
demoted to part-time employment? Public-spirited!
Democrats' Hypocrisy Exposed, But Does It
Matter? Tonight [10/1/2013] House Republicans offered a series of measures to restore funding to the national parks, District of Columbia
operations and veterans' services. But House Democrats voted against all three measures, sending them down to defeat. So the Democrats'
hypocrisy is revealed: they wring their hands over those poor Americans who want to visit the parks, but when they have the opportunity to fund
the parks, they turn it down.
Democratic Leaders' Explosive Words.
"What we're not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest — we're not going to do that," White House Communications Director
Dan Pfeiffer recently told CNN's Jake Tapper. "I believe the House Republicans are entirely responsible." "One hundred percent?" Tapper asked
incredulously. "Yes," Pfeiffer responded. "Absolutely." It's hard to say which is worse: that so many prominent Democrats believe
they aren't responsible for any of Washington's gridlock — or that they'd say these things anyway.
Bill Clinton Accuses Ted Cruz
of Making (Unspecified) False Statements. Former President Bill Clinton — who was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for
perjury and obstruction of justice and held in contempt of court by U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright for giving "intentionally false"
testimony — claimed to his former staffer George Stephanopoulos on ABC News's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" on Sunday that Sen.
Ted Cruz made multiple false statements during his filibuster on the Senate floor last week.
Who Are the Real Suicide Bombers?
This is really too easy: President Obama is willing to negotiate with Iran, but not with the House of Representatives. Commentators have
been all over it, and I don't really have much to add. Except to note that not only has Obama refused to negotiate with the House, he has also
had his spokesman describe Republicans as suicide bombers. The irony is rich: those who are concerned about $17 trillion in debt "have
bombs strapped to their chests," while the world's biggest sponsor of actual suicide bombers — you know, the ones who blow people up, as
opposed to disagreeing with Democrats — are newly-discovered moderates.
Sen. Barbara Boxer Claims Obama Cut Federal
Budget Deficit in Half. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) claimed on Friday that the federal budget deficit has "been cut in half" under
Obama. Budget figures provided by the White House show that the deficit nearly tripled from 2008 to 2009, when Obama took office, and has
remained above $1 trillion since then, though 2013 projections are slightly lower.
More than 19.5 million online fans don't really exist. Barack Obama is political king of the
fake Twitter followers. Among influential U.S. political tweeters, President Barack Obama is the undisputed king of the fake
followers. A MailOnline analysis ranks his sizable Twitter following as the most deceptive total among the 21 most influential accounts run
by American politicians: More than 19.5 million of his 36.9 million Twitter followers are accounts that don't correspond to real
people. The four phoniest accounts in the sample, which included Democratic and Republican Party leaders in Washington, D.C., were those
belonging to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and the White House communications shop.
Obama's 'Fake' Twitter Followers Explained.
Barack Obama has 36.9 million Twitter followers, 19.5 million of whom, it turns out, are fake. This is a very disturbing sign for Obama's
opponents, as it demonstrates just how much appeal the president still has with his key support base, namely those who identify most closely with him
on a personal level — fake people.
Ed Henry Slams Jay Carney
Over 'Four Pinocchio' Lie. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was confronted by FOX News' Ed Henry about Obama's claim that Republican
attempt to attach non-budget items to an increase in the nation's debt limit has "never seen in the history of the United States."
Taking the Fight to the Democrats.
Virginia so far has been a carbon copy of what Democrats did so successfully in last year's Senate and House races. The approach runs thus:
A Democratic candidate, assisted by unions and outside partisan groups, floods the zone with attack ads, painting the GOP opponent as a tea-party nut
who is too "extreme" for the state. The left focuses on divisive wedge issues — like abortion — that resonate with women or
other important voting constituencies. As the Republican's unfavorable ratings rise, the Democrat presents himself as a reasonable moderate,
in tune with the state's values. A friendly media overlook the Democrat's reliably liberal record, and the lies within the smears against his
opponent, and ultimately declares the Democrat unbeatable.
The
Democrats' Silly, Dishonest Excuse of 'Voter Suppression' in Colorado. The term "voter suppression" implies someone making an effort
to prevent people from voting, which is not what happened here, where the elections were amply covered in local, state, and national media and
all of the usual polling places were open for all of the usual hours, with no intimidation or other obstacles. The core of the Democrats'
argument is that because voting by mail was limited, some sort of nefarious authorities have prevented Coloradans from casting votes.
Lyndon McCain Meets Woodrow Obama. LBJ won in a landslide, in no small
part because of that pledge not to send American boys to Vietnam. Yet somehow, apparently mysteriously, John McCain wound up as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam in
1967, John Kerry wound up going to Vietnam in 1967 and so too did young Sergeant Hagel arrive on the shores of Vietnam in 1967. Say again: 1967. Which was
three years after the President of the United States had solemnly pledged in 1964 — make that repeatedly pledged — that American boys like McCain and
Kerry and Hagel would never... repeat never... have to be there in the first place.
Can Hillary Clinton Survive Benghazi?
[B]y any normal standard Benghazi would be considered a career-ending debacle. Four men, including one of her own ambassadors, were murdered on Hillary's
watch, after they had pleaded with her State Department for better security. The cable denying the ambassador's request for better protection went out
over Hillary's signature. That's just a formality! The Democrats say. She knew nothing about it!
Bad Lies. We increasingly debate whether our leaders are
incompetent or lying. Unfortunately, we need not choose. [...] Is it possible to have a political discussion if truth is not a ground
rule and a precondition? And, when our leaders view truth only as a malleable tactic, should we engage with them? The answer to the
first question is obviously no. Discussions, agreements and relationships cannot be based on lies. The second question is more
troubling. If our leaders are arrogant, lazy and bad liars, what do we do?
Are media buying into 'phony scandal'
claim? Conservative leaders allege the media are trying to ignore the once high-profile scandals overshadowing the Obama
administration, as President Obama and his aides aggressively push the claim that these controversies are "phony." The "phony scandal"
line was the unofficial talking point of the week in Washington. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney made it his fallback retort
from the podium — when asked about the president's new wave of speeches on the economy, Carney explained Obama was trying to refocus
Washington away from "fake" controversies.
As a rule of thumb, the opinions of "celebrities" are usually less valuable than yours. Bette
Midler: Republicans 'Did Everything They Could to Ensure' We'd Lose World War II. It's oftentimes amazing the absurd things Hollywood
stars say. On Wednesday [7/324/2013], Bette Midler actually tweeted, "GOP treats Mr. Obama the way they treated FDR in WWII. They did
everything they could to ensure an Allied loss". Did she offer any evidence to support her absurd remark? Of course not.
Lying in the Age of Obama. The attorney general of the
United States lied recently to Congress. He said he knew of no citizen's communications that his department had monitored. Lie!
In fact, Holder knew that his subordinates were targeting reporters. He also did not tell the truth about the New Black Panthers case.
He had sworn that there was no political decision to drop the case. Not true; the decision came from the top. He again lied about
the time frame in which he first learned of the Fast and Furious case.
Pelosi:
Congress Must Uphold Oath to 'Protect and Defend' Constitution... by Passing Gun Control. In a press release marking the one-year
anniversary of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, the former Speaker of the House said: "In Congress, there can be no more fitting memorial
to the lives lost in Aurora, in Newtown, and across the country than a concerted effort to enact commonsense gun safety legislation.
"We must uphold our oath to 'protect and defend' the constitution and all Americans by expanding background checks and keeping dangerous
firearms out of the wrong hands."
Hate Crimes Indeed. We are forever being told by the left
about how awful this country is for anyone who is not white. Blacks are being gunned down in the streets by non-blacks. Except they're
not. Muslims are being discriminated against wholesale, and are afraid to leave their homes. Except they're not. Gun owners are
violent crazies bent on mass murder, except they're not. Christians are trying to force their religion on us. Except they're not.
Tea Party members are racists and violent. I believe the Breitbart reward for evidence of the accusations of tea party racism remains unclaimed,
even in this day of cell phone cameras and video.
The Criminal Profiling of
Conservative White Males. What does it say that Leftists seem to react to virtually every highly visible criminal act with
the hope that the "perp" is a white guy or, even better, a conservative white guy?
In some cases, when a Leftist Democrat makes a statement, exactly the opposite is true. Harry Reid: Insufficient
Government Spending Hurts U.S. Economy. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in a press release Friday that insufficient
government spending, caused by Republican "austerity policies" is hurting the U.S. economy and preventing a quicker recovery.
"We need to continue advancing policies that spur growth and create jobs," Reid said. "It's time for Republicans to let go of their
failed austerity policies that weigh down our economy and prevent a speedier recovery. We simply can't cut our way to prosperity."
Obama's Arab Spring Logic.
Obama is a community organizer by profession. He knows all about organizing "spontaneous" demonstrations for the people's revolution.
The tricky thing is deciding who represents the real people. [...] How do you tell who's a real organic revolutionary to Obama? Well, the
more radical they are, the farther they want to go back to the Muslim Dark Ages, and the more leftover leftists like George Soros they have on
board, the more "authentic" they are. This is the same logic our vaunted media use to prove that Governor Sarah Palin is not a real woman
and Justice Clarence Thomas is not a real black man.
Bill Clinton Praises
SCOTUS for Striking Down a Law that He Signed. To me and in my humble opinion, Bill Clinton is the finest representative of the Democratic
Party available. His word is literally worthless in both the personal and professional spheres. What he proudly signs into law today he will
just as proudly denounce as bigoted and backward tomorrow if the politics have changed. He has no principles outside of acquiring power for himself
and his friends, and what he believes he can get away with today.
Neither Democratic or Republican cherry-picked findings will restore the public's trust. Why the IRS Scandal Needs a Special Prosecutor.
Nearly six weeks ago, President Obama responded to an inspector general's report detailing the targeting, which had been long denied by the IRS. [...] The
IG report was based on a cursory audit. It was not a full-fledged investigation. And yet Democrats disingenuously claimed that
it exonerated the Obama administration and the president's re-election campaign from any involvement in IRS targeting.
The IRS's Best Friend in Congress. Over the
objections of Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) last week released online the full, 205-page transcript of an interview
that committee investigators conducted with an IRS employee in Cincinnati named John Shafer. Mr. Cummings explained that he was compelled to release
the Shafer transcript because it explodes Mr. Issa's "conspiracy theories" — chiefly, that the White House played a role in the targeting of
conservative groups, and that it was orchestrated out of IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C. In fact, Mr. Issa has never said the former, and much
that is known so far about the IRS scandal suggests that the Washington connection is substantial.
Rewriting history and 'Looking Backward'.
One thing that's incredibly tiresome about being a conservative is how people rewrite history so that they can pigeonhole you as a racist, a fascist or a dangerous radical.
The most common tactic is to claim that Republicans were the party of slavery and that they had opposed equal rights for blacks. This is, of course, untrue, but in a culture
that devalues history and inflates the value of punditry, truth is whatever is repeated often enough in a chain e-mail.
The left's outrage over the IRS turns to a plea to 'move on' Moving a Washington scandal
out of town. The left is doing all that it can to keep the focus off Washington in this scandal. The latest attempt
came just days ago when Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, one of the top House Democrats leading the congressional probe of the
IRS, made the proclamation that the "case is solved" — and that it's time for the nation to "move on." This
disturbing about-face by Mr. Cummings is a reflection of the Obama administration's desire to sweep this unconscionable abuse under
the rug as quickly as possible. His comments directly contradict what he had said just days earlier when he called for a "thorough
investigation" to restore "truth and trust."
NSA can
'listen to U.S. phone calls' without a warrant, according to congressman. The National Security Agency can listen to
domestic phone calls without a warrant, according to a disclosure by Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, made during
a briefing to members of Congress last Thursday [6/13/2013]. Listening to phone calls without a warrant is illegal — but
according to Mr Nadler, the NSA does not obtain a warrant to listen to calls.
Nadler Backtracks: NSA Does
Need Court Order. It turns out that the surveillance of Americans may be even more dangerous and unsupervised than had been
heretofore acknowledged — but the powers that be aren't willing to admit it. The National Security Agency (NSA) admitted in a secret
briefing that its analysts can decide to listen to Americans' phone calls without legal authorization. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New
York Democrat, revealed that during the briefing to members of Congress, the NSA allowed that phone calls could be monitored "simply based
on an analyst deciding that." This means low-ranking analysts may be listening to Americans willy-nilly.
Democratic
Convention Organizers Claim $500K of Lost Electronics. The Democratic National Convention may be long over, but its
organizers have not forgotten the almost half a million dollars worth of electronics they seem to have lost. Organizers of the
Charlotte, N.C., convention have filed a police report for lost and stolen electronics, some of which they appear to have valued at as
much as 62 times the listed market prices. A reportedly stolen 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop? $75,537. The price
listed on the Apple website is $1,199. A lost iPhone? $30,503. A lost Blackberry? $54,250.
Our Enemy Inside the Gates. If you think
the Benghazi cover-up is a classic case of desperate political back-pedaling, official lies and semi-lies, face-saving, and walking away from
reality, that episode is merely a miniature of the colossal con pulled on the whole country by Roosevelt and his minions from 1933 onward.
Obama's Bodyguard of Lies.
President Obama and his people deserve at least one accolade: they have perfected lying into an art form. Is anyone
in Obama's closest orbit a truth-teller?
Eric Holder's Long
History Of Lying To Congress. Before he lied to Congress while under oath about what he knew about targeting reporters,
he lied about Fast and Furious. As early as the New Black Panthers case, Eric Holder had a problem with the truth.
Some Democrats will say anything to keep the IRS from being scrutinized. How Many Things Can Jim McDermott Get Wrong in Five Minutes?
Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) attacked victims of IRS targeting at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today [6/5/2013], saying
that it was their fault they were targeted because they applied for tax-exempt status.
A Gender-Neutral Army. Political language exists to
destroy meaning and to make unpopular policies seem popular by associating them with the very opposite of what they are. Taxes are
opportunities. Spending is stimulus. Amnesty is reform. The left is as good at language as it is bad at governing. It
can't change reality, but it excels at changing the description of reality. Common sense is the enemy of the left and the left defeats
common sense by corrupting language so that nothing makes sense and common sense can never come into play.
Dem VA Gov Candidate McAuliffe: My
Dad Died Because of Bush. George W. Bush has been blamed by the left for everything from hurricanes to the
IRS targeting conservative non-profits. But now, it turns out that former Democratic National Committee head and current
Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe blames Bush for his dad dying. Really. In an interview in May 2001,
McAuliffe said that his father, Jack, died because "he could not go into a new year knowing that a Republican was actually moving
into the White House."
The Editor says...
It is hard to believe anyone takes politics seriously enough to give up his life rather than enter a new year with political opponents in
charge. In other words, the anecdote sounds like a fabrication. Show me the autopsy report that lists "politics" as the cause of death.
But even if the story is true, people whose lives are shortened primarily by political arguments are those who probably wouldn't enjoy a long life anyway.
Pelosi:
GOP focusing on Bengazi, AP and IRS because Obama 'is a great president'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
charged Republicans with "exploiting" the questions surrounding the Benghazi talking points, the AP phone records seizure and the IRS
scandal to attack President Obama because "they fear" his agenda and eloquence.
House Democrats Dismiss Existence Of Obama Scandals.
Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly refuses to use the word "scandal." After two weeks of brutal news cycles — with frenzied Republicans and a
hyped up press corps aggressively covering every inch of three controversies surrounding the Obama administration — Connolly insists this too,
shall pass.
Dems
accuse GOP of 'making up scandals out of thin air'. The Democratic National Committee is accusing the GOP of "making up so-called
'scandals' out of thin air." In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans' accusations of scandal
aren't legitimate — a claim that's sure to draw howls from the right.

A
Brief History of Slimy Dem Snoops and Dumpster Divers. It's always the "low-level" peon's fault, isn't it?
When Democrats get caught red-handed abusing government powers and bullying their political enemies small and large, nobody at
the top knows nuttin'. [...] While they pretend to champion privacy rights, top left-wing operatives have routinely ransacked and
plundered through the private documents and personal records of conservative groups, business owners and public figures.
Through it all, those on the right standing against government tyranny have refused to stand down.
The Only Question That Matters. Once you
understand that the radical Left's stated reasons for any given program or legislative initiative are entirely bogus, and that the corrective
mechanism they propose has absolutely nothing to do with the putative social ill they purport to address, we are left with one simple question:
Why? Why was the legislatively unconstitutional seizure of one-sixth of the U.S. economy in the name of "reform" really necessary?
Not a single honest argument in favor of it came from the likes of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid at the time and a not a single honest
argument in favor of it has been made since.
Fact-checkers
rip Obama group's claim on climate change 'hoax' vote. A recent video from a President Obama-aligned group is under fire
from fact-checkers for claiming hundreds of House members voted to call climate change a "hoax" — namely, because they didn't.
The video from Organizing for Action cleverly splices together quotes from Republican climate change skeptics while building up to the
factoid about the vote, which was on an amendment to a broader bill in 2011. The video then includes the following text:
"Number of House members who voted in 2011 that climate change was a 'hoax': 240." The amendment, though, did not include the
word hoax, and the circumstances of the vote were far more complicated than the video portrayed.
Insane 'Asylum'. In the
aftermath of the Boston Marathon killing spree by foreign-born jihadists, see-no-evil bureaucrats in Washington are stubbornly defending
America's lax asylum policies. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano told the Senate Tuesday [4/23/2013] that the screening process is
rigorous, effective, and extensive. These people can't handle the truth. Or tell it.
Snortworthy Myth:
'Conservative' Media Almost as Culpable as Broadcast Networks in Ignoring Gosnell Trial. Through Monday evening, April 8, the Media Research
Center's Matt Philbin noted that Gosnell's trial "has received exactly zero seconds of airtime on the broadcast networks." In a pathetic attempt at a response on
Friday, Salon's Alex Seitz-Wald and several others are trying to claim that "conservative" outlets have also virtually ignored the trial.
We need an IQ test for
politicians. The debacle over New York's rushed-through gun bill is one example of what happens when enthusiasm meets stupid.
But another is to be found in Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), who supports a ban on full-capacity magazines without understanding what a magazine
actually is.
Liberals accomplish massive changes through
innocuous incremental steps. Note the steps:
• Ask for more than you know you can achieve. In fact, ask for something you don't even want. Then everyone will be
focused more on that than on your real goal.
• Use all media and educational tools to inculcate your view in the public and low-information voters.
• Develop your own lexicon, redefine words, and then keep pounding those words into the psyche each time you speak.
• Attack your opponents not on logic or facts, but by name-calling and emotion, and accuse them of being "obstructionist."
• When you concede, always be sure you've moved the marker a little farther toward your goal.
• Reset the measures so that the new position is now considered "normal," which makes it impossible for anyone to argue against or reverse.
Harry Reid
Won 'Whopper Of The Week' For $2.5 Trillion Deficit Reduction Claim. During a speech on the Senate floor last week, Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid falsely claimed that the Democrats have reduced the budget deficit by $2.5 trillion. It's such a gross lie it's
almost laughable, and earned Reid the "Whopper of the Week" award from The Washington Guardian.
Harry Reid falsely claims the government has cut the deficit
by $2.5 trillion. It's politically fashionable now to say you've helped reduce the nation's debt. And at nearly $1 trillion
annually, there's a lot of debt to be reduced. But during a speech this week on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed
that over the past two years the government has reduced the deficit by $2.5 trillion — almost double the amount the deficit is
right now. "In the last two years we have reduced the deficit by $2.5 trillion," he said.
The Editor says...
This shows how comfortable the Democrats have become with the word trillion.
Universal Background Checks:
the Liberal Holy Grail. The goals of the left have always been shrouded in deception and misrepresentation. Hide your
true agenda behind a deceitful argument and then, after grabbing power, do what you really meant to do all along. That is what
Hitler, Lenin, Mao, Castro and Obama have all done. By controlling the terms of the discussion, the left controls the argument.
Actual Assault Rifles are not sold to the general public. The left invented the term "assault-style rifles" and the next thing you
know assault-style rifles become assault rifles.
Rangel
Fibs: Democrat claims 'millions' of kids being 'shot down by assault weapons'. During
an appearance on MSNBC this morning [3/21/2013], Congressman Charlie Rangel was asked what he
thought about the assault weapons ban being dropped from Senate bill. Rangel blamed the
defeat on politics and money and then made the extraordinary claim that "millions of kids" are
dying because they are "being shot down by assault weapons."
Waxman on Keystone: 'We Don't Need this Dirty
Oil'. Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) — the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce
Committee — said that America does not need the "dirty oil" that would be imported through the Keystone XL
pipeline from Canada, which received long-awaited favorable environmental review from the U.S. government. "We don't
need this dirty oil. To stop climate change and the destructive storms, droughts, floods, and wildfires that we are
already experiencing, we should be investing in clean energy, not building a pipeline that will speed the exploitation of
Canada's highly polluting tar sands," Waxman said in a statement on Friday responding to the government's analysis.
Nancy
Pelosi: 'I Don't Think Obama Has Ever Done Anything for Political Reasons'. House Minority Leader Nancy raised some
eyebrows and got a few laughs when she said this of President Obama: "I don't think he's ever done anything for political
reasons [...] This has been a president as bipartisan as any that I've seen."
Rep.
Conyers: 'The Debt Is Not Endangering Us a Bit ... We Don't Think There's a Problem'. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the
ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said on Thursday [3/14/2013] that the nation's current debt of $16.7 trillion
is "not endangering" the country, adding that "some debt is not a bad idea" and that he and other congressional Democrats "don't
think there's a problem." Conyers and other liberal Democrats spoke at a Capitol Hill press conference about their initiative
to compel Congress to cancel the across-the-board budget cuts (sequester) of $1.2 trillion over 10 years, which
actually are reductions in the rate of increase in federal spending and amount to $44 billion for this year.
Pelosi: 'Tax Cuts Are Spending'.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said today that the government must cut spending, and then explained that:
"Tax cuts are spending." "Our whole budget is what $3.5 trillion," Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill press conference.
"So, when we talk about reducing spending, we certainly must, and we certainly have — $1.6 trillion in the
previous Congress, $1.2 [sic] of it in the Budget Control Act.
Maxine
Waters: Sequester Could Cause '170 Million Jobs' to Be Lost. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.), in an attempt to outdo President
Obama's claims that even minor cuts will bring the republic's long run to an ignominious end, warned today that the sequester could cause
"over 170 million jobs" to be lost.
White House's false sequester claims
prompt media pushback. The White House's media management team will be in the public spotlight this week following a series
of days in which it leveraged the media to distribute what turned out to be misleading or false information. President Barack Obama
told reporters that Capitol Hill workers were facing pay cuts as a result of the looming budget sequester. Education Secretary Arne
Duncan cited the same cause when he incorrectly claimed that a school district was already laying off teachers. And White House
spokesman Jay Carney understated by a factor of 10 the number of illegal immigrants administration officials released in a bid to lower
the cost of housing inmates in immigration detention facilities.
Reich: Tea
Party 'Conspiracy to Undermine the Government of the United States'. Democrats and the media have accused Tea Party favorite
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of "McCarthyism" merely for posing tough questions to and about Chuck Hagel during the latter's confirmation as
Secretary of Defense. Yet a recent column by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich reveals who the real McCarthyites are in U.S.
politics today, as Reich likens the Tea Party to a conspiracy "to undermine the government of the United States."
What Rush Limbaugh Didn't
Say. [Scroll down] How pray tell could Congress have even allowed tax cheats like Tim Geithner and Charlie
Rangel to be respectively Secretary of the Treasurer and Chair of the Ways and Means Committee? How on earth could a bill
drafted by a man in prison (Robert Creamer) have passed without anyone reading its over 2,000 pager? Nancy Pelosi insisted
that we had to pass it to learn what was in it and now that we know Obamacare is a disaster; everyone who voted for it (like Rep.
Engel, D-NY) is surprised.
Teacher
pink slips claim by Duncan not backed by evidence. The descriptions of the post-sequester landscape that have been coming
out of the Obama Administration have been alarming, specific — and, in at least some cases, hyped.
Defense: Mayor didn't
know salary was illegal. The unschooled and illiterate former mayor of the scandal-ridden suburban city of Bell [California]
had no training that would have alerted him that his huge salary was illegal, his lawyer told a jury in closing arguments.
The Editor says...
If all this were true, it seems like his political opponents would have discovered this already, and would have used it against him.
Heads in the Sand (or somewhere else). Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) today [2/14/2013]
became the latest in a growing list of Democrats who claim that the federal government does not have a spending problem.
It is not clear where their heads are located, but surely these members of Congress are either being deliberately obtuse or
operating on a set of assumptions from some parallel universe.
Pro-Obama
election flyer marked with NAACP seal featured Klan, lynching imagery. A presidential election flier disseminated in
North Carolina and marked with a seal for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) featured Ku Klux
Klan and lynching imagery as part of its presentation urging voters to head to the polls. Another pro-Obama flier in North
Carolina informed African-American voters that Mitt Romney would relegate them to "picking cotton" if elected president.
9 Phony Martyrs of the Left. Every religion
has its martyrs, and so it is with the American Left. Myths have been built around myriad "wronged" radicals/communists and endless ink spilled
about the injustice of their fate.
Rep. Corrine Brown: 'Don't Confuse Me With
Any Facts'. As part of a discussion with voters about Obamacare funding, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) told one man, "Don't
confuse me with any facts." "This is part of the problem," Brown told an audience member who had asked about the billions of dollars
cut from Medicare under the Affordable Health Care Act.
Bless her heart... Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee Claims to be a 'Freed Slave,' Opposes All Government Spending Cuts. Our Houston dynamo's understanding
of economics, and history, needs a little work. "I stand here as a freed slave because this Congress came together. Are we
going to be able to do it today to free America?" Congress didn't "come together" to free the slaves. Southern members of
Jackson Lee's Democratic Party seceded from the union to preserve slavery, triggering a civil war. Republican President Abe Lincoln
freed the slaves, in whose number Lee never numbered as she was born nearly a century too late, via the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.
Nancy Pelosi To Fox News
Sunday: It's A 'False Argument To Say We Have A Spending Problem'. On Fox News Sunday [2/10/2013], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
told Fox News Channel anchor Chris Wallace that the ongoing debate about a balanced approach to deficit reduction should not place undue emphasis on spending
cuts. She said that it is "almost a false argument" to say that Washington has a "spending problem." Pelosi noted that there have been "plenty of
spending cuts," and budgetary priorities like education and food safety must be protected.
The president is lying about Benghazi.
President Obama's disregard for the truth has made Bill Clinton seem like a novice. His statements are always riddled with inconsistency. Many
could easily have been dissected with a curious media, but that hasn't happen. Very few people can lie as well.
Fake but accurate: Newtown
children's choir is revealed to have no connection to Sandy Hook. Organisers of a Newtown children's choir that has appeared on Good Morning America are
facing accusations they have misled the public — as the group has no formal connection to Sandy Hook. While the Newtown Music Project features a handful of
children from the school, it is organised independently and led by a teacher who quit her job at a Newtown high school after she was accused of theft.
The
Myth About Democrat Voter Suppression In the 2012 Elections. Democratic media and talking points do not disclose that
2012 wait times were slightly shorter than in 2008, there were no significant differences in wait times by party identification, voters
were satisfied with the voting process, and expressed considerable support for voter IDs. The 2012 election was much the same as
2008 but without the same Democrat gnashing of teeth over voter suppression.
Dem leader Reid: 'We are in a recovery'.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday said the American economy is "in a recovery" despite the decline in the nation's gross
domestic product (GDP). Reid made the remark after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blamed the White House for the
unexpected contraction in the economy.
The Editor says...
Man, I wish he had blamed akdart.com instead of Fox News!
NJ Democrats plan an end run around the First
Amendment and Citizens United decision. New Jersey Democrats are selling "transparency." Sometimes. Mostly
when it comes to corporate political donations to candidates and causes they don't like. So they've concocted a scheme which
would force all businesses in the state to report their political donations to the government.
Obama's Not a "Liberal" — He's a
Communist. Let's get the terminology right. The fact of the matter is, the entire Democrat party today is
Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Collectivist/Statist. There are no more conservative or moderate Democrats. They all support the
big government collectivist agenda — and they're all willing to lie, cheat and steal in order to maintain it. [...] Communists
are liars. Obama will lie right to our faces and not feel a second of shame because the ends justify the means.
Democrats
Vilify Guns, Own Stock in Gun Companies. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), for example, is a proponent of an "assault weapons"
ban, who in the meantime is enjoying the money her husband makes off a $50,000 investment in the Vanguard Small Cap Growth Index fund.
As of Jan. 18, that fund included 219,918 shares of stock in Ruger Firearms. Meanwhile, Senator Clair McCaskill (D-MO) has
approximately $100,000 in the iShare Russell 2000 Growth Index. That fund held 254,290 shares of stock in Ruger Firearms as of
Jan. 18, along with shares of Smith & Wesson as well.
Why Does the Anti-Gun Camp Need to
Lie? The Brady Campaign has a long track record of using distorted statistics to deceive the American people, including
well-meaning donors of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt money. Consider, for example, the Brady Campaign's statement that a firearm in the home
is 43 times as likely to kill a family member as a violent criminal. The Brady Campaign, therefore, wants us to believe that
gun owners shoot family members in fits of rage, when the truth is very different.
Reid: Sandy Was Much
Worse Than Katrina, You Know. Whether he's publicly recapitulating the hallucinations of an imaginary friend, or wrongly assuring
the public that various government programs are "fully funded," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tends to struggle with the truth.
Reid: Hurricane Katrina
Was 'Nothing in Comparison' to Sandy. Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, said today on the Senate floor that
Hurricane Katrina was "nothing in comparison" to Hurricane Sandy. [...] Nearly 1,500 died because of Katrina. About 110 died
because of Sandy.
Louisiana Sen. Vitter rips Reid for Katrina comments.
Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter ripped Majority Leader Harry Reid for suggesting the damage from Hurricane Katrina was "nothing" compared with the damage from
Superstorm Sandy.
Update: Reid says he misspoke in suggesting Hurricane
Sandy was worse than Katrina. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that he "simply misspoke," when he said Friday [1/4/2013]
that Hurricane Katrina was "nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New York and New Jersey" from Hurricane Sandy.
Pelosi defends
decision to alter congressional class photo. The Democratic women of the 113th Congress had gathered on the Capitol steps
Thursday [1/3/2013] for a picture, snapped by The Associated Press, marking the start of the session. Four lawmakers, though, were late to
the shoot. So Pelosi's office added their faces after the fact — then emailed that image around to reporters and posted
it on her Flickr page.
Best Dog Whistles of 2012. "Affirmative
action" usually means racial or gender quotas. "Revenue" usually means taxes. Calling "addiction" sickness is a dog whistle that
allows drunks and addicts to think they are ill, not irresponsible. Glaucoma treatment has become a dog whistle for legalizing pot.
"Title IX" is a dog whistle that signals football and basketball to carry all those sports that don't pay their own way — or
subsidize sports that nobody wants to watch anyway.
Sheila Jackson
Lee: Entitlements Off The Table, They Are "Earned". Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX): "There is no way, Mr. Speaker, that we should
raise the eligibility age for Medicare, that we should not think carefully about how we approach the reform of Medicaid. And that we don't the
American people that Social Security is solvent. [..."]
The Editor asks...
If you are entitled to receive something, it isn't necessary to earn it.
The Editor says...
Exactly the opposite is true, of course. Massive spending on unconstitutional payments to individuals is building the national debt
at an (apparently) uncontrollable rate.
Fact check: Federal government had $237 billion surplus in 2000.
Jackson
Lee: 'Who Wants to Make a Fuss About Social Security When It's Solvent?' Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D.-Texas) said
last week that Republicans are being "frivolous" when they talk about reforming Social Security as a means of fixing the federal
government's fiscal problems because Social Security is "solvent." According to Social Security's trustees, the program has
operated in the red in each of the last two years.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee: It's Not 'Tradition' to
Call It a Christmas Tree. Gov. Lincoln Chafee (I-R.I.) told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that his administration calls the decorated evergreen
tree erected in the Rhode Island State House in December a "holiday tree" — rather than a "Christmas tree" — because that is what
the tree is traditionally called.
Dems Say Social Security
Doesn't Add to Deficit. Congressional Democrats say they aren't willing to consider changes in Social Security in order
to avoid the "fiscal cliff." On Sunday, November 25, 2012, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), on ABC's This Week, said,
"Social Security does not add one penny to the deficit. Not a penny. It's a separate funded operation, and we can do things
that I believe we should now, smaller things, played out over the long term that gives it solvency." Durbin also said that
Social Security needs only a few minor tweaks, but no major reforms to ensure its long-term solvency.
Was the 2012 Election Stolen? [Scroll down]
Remember, the Democrats have been honing this act for many, many years. And vote fraud is Democrat domain. Liberals are the situational-values
set, people who for years insisted that right and wrong is relative and that if it feels good, do it. And what feels good to them at election
time is stealing votes to win — and they do it. They relish it, in fact.
Clinton: Who wants a dishonest president?
Former President Bill Clinton branded GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney a serial liar at a Philadelphia campaign event yesterday [11/5/2012],
criticizing Romney's ad that misleadingly implied Chrysler was shifting Jeep production to China. [...] When the crowd laughed in response, Clinton
noted, "You're laughing, but who wants a president who will knowingly, repeatedly tell you something he knows is not true?"
Massachusetts Mayor Bans the Word 'Illegal' for
Illegal Immigrants. The mayor of Somerville, Mass., has banned the use of the term "illegals" when referring to illegal aliens.
Mayor and Alderman Joe Curtatone announced the new policy at a local board meeting last week, according to the Somerville Journal.
Spinning Polls, Obama Campaign Gets Testy with
Reporters. [Scroll down] Breathlessly, and angrily, Messina raced through a jumble of talking points, claiming that Romney is doing poorly
even in places where the RealClearPolitics averages of polls show Romney building a comfortable lead, such as North Carolina, where Obama has not scheduled
further visits for the duration of the campaign.
Lying From Behind on Libya. Back in
March 2011, when Obama started lobbing missiles at Libya, liberals assured us that we were NOT at war. Instead the administration described it as
time-limited, scope-limited, kinetic military activity — which is just another made up phrase that liberals use to remind us that they are the
people Orwell warned us about.
Media Estimate 18,000 in Not-Quite-Full
5,000-Seat Arena for Obama in Wisconsin. President Barack Obama is having trouble drawing large crowds on the campaign trail. At the
Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, his campaign was forced to move his acceptance speech from the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium to
the 20,000 Time Warner Cable Arena, citing weather as the excuse. But the media are always eager to help — for example, putting
18,000 people inside a 5,000-seat arena at an Obama event in Milwaukee on Saturday [9/22/2012].
Democratic
Mayor Tom Barrett was source for inflated Obama crowd numbers in Wisconsin. As Breitbart's Joel Pollack investigates, both The Wall Street
Journal and Politico reported that President Obama's Saturday [9/22/2012] rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin drew a crowd of 18,000 supporters. That's at
least a bit odd, since the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reported that the President was speaking at a 5,000-seat arena. The report added that "thousands
more who sat in bleachers and stood on the pavement," but made no mention of the abnormally large 18,000 estimate.
Trifecta: Politico, WSJ
and AP Report Obama Crowd in Wis. of About 5,000 as 18,000. Saturday [9/22/2012], Joel Pollak at Breitbart's Big Journalism observed that
President Obama is having some trouble drawing big crowds these days, and that the national press is exaggerating the turnout at his events. He
specifically cited the situation this weekend where Politico and the Wall Street Journal claimed there were "18,000 people inside a 5,000-seat arena at an
Obama event in Milwaukee on Saturday." I looked at the Associated Press's national site, and the AP did the same thing, while adding that the crowd
with the made-up size was "the largest yet of Obama's reelection campaign." Really.
Quayle on Fast and Furious
report: Holder 'lied to my face' during House testimony. Arizona Republican Rep. Ben Quayle told The Daily Caller that Attorney General Eric
Holder gave him false testimony under oath about Operation Fast and Furious wiretap application documents during a June 7 House Judiciary Committee
hearing. Quayle said the Department of Justice's inspector general report proves that Holder lied to him while under oath during the hearing.
Pelosi
says GOP has 'nerve' to ask if Americans are better off under Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blasted Republicans
on Friday afternoon [9/21/2012] for continuing to assert that Americans are not better off under President Obama's administration, and said every
economic indicator shows that the country is in a much better spot today than it was four years ago. "The Republicans have the nerve to pose
that question, when if you look back to four years ago this very week ... you would know that we are indeed fundamentally and unquestionably better
off as a country today," Pelosi said on the House floor.
Streisand:
'Obama More Fiscally Conservative Than Any Other President in Recent History Except Clinton'. "Compared to George W.
Bush and Ronald Reagan, Obama has been more fiscally conservative than any other president in recent history, with the exception of
President Bill Clinton." Despite over $5 trillion in new debt created by the 44th president, so hysterically wrote Barbra
Streisand at the Huffington Post Tuesday [9/18/2012].
Inarticulate
Republicans Let Democrats Get Away With Lies. The net result is that articulate Democrats can get away with the biggest
lies, without any serious rebuttal from most Republicans. I have not heard any Republican official or candidate even try to
answer a standard claim of the Democrats, that "deregulation" is the reason the housing market went haywire and brought down the
economy. Therefore, according to the Democrats, Republicans who want to restore a free market are just trying to "go back
to the same policies that got us into this mess in the first place."
Sebelius violated Hatch Act, agency finds.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated the federal law prohibiting federal employees from partisan
activities, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) reported Wednesday [9/12/2012]. "OSC concluded that Secretary Sebelius violated
the Hatch Act when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her official capacity on February 25, 2012,"
the office said in its report. The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from trying to influence the outcome of an election while
using their official authority or using their official title or when speaking about agency business.
Office of
Special Counsel Says HHS Secretary Violated Hatch Act. President Obama was notified today by the U.S. Office of Special
Counsel that one of his key Cabinet officials violated the Hatch Act, the law that restricts the political activity of anyone employed
or holding office in the Executive Branch except for the President and Vice President. Carolyn Lerner, head of the U.S. Office
of Special Counsel concluded that Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius violated the Hatch Act
when she served as the Guest of Honor and Keynote Speaker at the February 25, 2012 gala for the pro-gay rights Human Rights
Campaign in Charlotte, North Carolina.
OSC report: Sebelius violated Hatch Act.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits certain political activity, when she made "extemporaneous
partisan remarks" during a speech in her official capacity earlier this year, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Wednesday.
The office sent an official report outlining the rare Hatch Act violation and Sebelius's response to President Barack Obama.
Sebelius' unhealthy
campaigning. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — the person most responsible for implementing
the Frankenstein monster called ObamaCare — seems to have serious difficulty following federal law herself. The
Office of Special Counsel — an independent investigative and prosecutorial agency overseeing federal employees —
has determined that Sebelius violated the Hatch Act, which bars on-duty government employees from engaging in politics.
CNN
Confronts DWS Over Oren Lie. CNN's Don Lemon took on the unenviable — and apparently impossible —
task of trying to wrench a truthful comment out of Debbie Wasserman Schultz last night. Lemon played DWS audio of her comments
about Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, which contradicted her claim that the Washington Examiner's Phil Klein misquoted her.
Even faced with her own recorded words, DWS continued to insist that Klein misquoted her.
Sitzkrieg and
Dezinformatsiya. Like the ineffable Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Baghdad Bob of the DNC, who has mastered
the dark art of looking you straight in the eye and lying right to your face, the media has simply declared the verdict they
wanted to reach all along.
'Occupy'
terrorists now called 'radical right' by Southern Poverty Law Center. Did you know that the Occupy Movement is actually a part of
the "radical right"? The movement, which received favorable comments from the commanding heights of the American left —
President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, the New York Times, and MSNBC — has now shown itself to include very violent elements, including
actual terrorists, who began a bomb plot in Cleveland, only to be apprehended before carrying out their program of terror.
Obama's Big Lie Campaign. How else do you run on a
record that includes the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression, falling incomes, low-paying jobs and little hope of a brighter future?
You trot out dozens of speakers at the week's Democratic Convention, culminating with Bill Clinton, to repeat untruths that would make George Orwell proud.
Biden, Obamas tell
health care tall tales at Charlotte convention. Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and President Barack
Obama all told a story during the Democratic National Convention about battles the president's mother waged with health care companies
as she fought a terminal illness in 1995. But the version of events presented Thursday night differs dramatically from others,
including those of at least two biographers and Obama's own previous account.
Obama takes us backward in the worst speech of his
career. The Democratic National Convention was such a tedious flop that the third night was all reruns. It was like watching a "clip
show" episode of an old sitcom. Yet another failed governor, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, rolled onstage to yell class-warfare bromides at the audience.
Like every other befuddled Democrat speaker, Granholm appears to be under the mistaken impression that General Motors did not go bankrupt, and that
our $30 billion taxpayer loss was actually some sort of profitable investment. The combined ignorance and dishonesty of these people explains
a lot about our current economic malaise.
Source: Obama Saw
Platform Language Prior to Convention. The Democratic National Convention, reeling from today's chaotic fiasco surrounding
the reinsertion of pro-Israel, pro-God language into the party platform, has announced that President Obama personally intervened to
ensure that that language was revived. But Politico is now reporting that President Obama approved the original, Jerusalem-less,
Hamas-less language less than a fortnight ago. He didn't try to change the platform "until after Republicans jumped on the omissions
of God and Jerusalem late Wednesday."
Congresswoman Blames Dutch for
Brooklyn-Based Slavery in 1898. After some confusion about the specifics of time travel, U.S. Representative Yvette Clarke
told Stephen Colbert last night [9/4/2012] that if she could go back to her Brooklyn district in 1898, she would tell those Brooklynites, "Set me
free!" When Colbert asked innocently, "From?" Clarke said, "Slavery," perhaps confusing her major U.S. history dates.
"Slavery. Really? I didn't realize there was slavery in Brooklyn in 1898," Colbert replied, giving her a chance.
But nope: "I'm pretty sure there was." (There wasn't.)
Debbie Wasserman
Schultz had a bad week. The acerbic Democratic National Committee chairwoman with the grating voice has been on
a dizzying downward slide. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, DWS has been parlaying her petty partisanship to anyone
who sticks a microphone in her face. And she'll say anything — doesn't matter if it's true or not. It all
started with a flat-out, bald-faced lie.
Will Debbie Be Dumped? Are there no
consequences for lying? Even on national television?
Media Fail to Fact-Check Michelle's
Speech. The basic premise of Mrs. Obama's speech — that she and her husband had struggled economically like so
many other Americans — is false. Not only did they enjoy many advantages that others do not, but CNS News reports that
Barack Obama inherited half a million dollars in stock from his grandmother, a bank vice president who Michelle misleadingly cited as a
victim of gender discrimination. These fibs are not new for the Obama camp.
NBC's Chuck Todd Follows Obama's 'Bank of America' Talking Points.
One of the funniest and most revealing things coming out of the upcoming Democratic convention is how Democrats will NewSpeak the name of the very place the convention is being
held. [...] Democrats changing the language, facts, and calling something it's not is a time-honored tradition.
Where are Milwaukee's "missing" black voters?
Are 60% of Milwaukee's black voters from 2008 missing? That's what a study from the New Organizing Institute claims, which estimates that as many
as 160,000 black voters in the city from the last presidential election can no longer be found. [...] Simply put, this is an absurd conclusion to reach.
It starts with an assumption that the "voter file" used in this search was accurate, both in identifying African-American voters and in identifying
legitimate registrations. It ends with the assumption that a voter who no longer lives in the same place in 2012 that he or she did in 2008 is
somehow "missing."
MSNBC's Chris Matthews
claims to live in 'black majority' DC, but actually lives in Md. suburbs. MSNBC host Chris Matthews might have
exaggerated his abilities to hear dog-whistle racism at this week's Republican National Convention in Tampa, Newsbusters' Jack
Coleman noted. During Tuesday night's [8/28/2012] coverage, Matthews made the case that he is well-positioned to judge
racial issues because of where he lives, after having repeatedly insinuated that Republican figures are racist.
WaPo's Glenn
Kessler Has Fact-Checking Tantrum Over 'You Didn't Build That'. Glenn Kessler is The Washington Post's laughably
biased fact checker, and when you think of Kessler, remember this — remember the "fact" checker who called Romney a liar
for saying a president who didn't go to Israel didn't go to Israel. This guy is utterly shameless, and this morning he's
having a full-blown tantrum.
Teachers Union
Claims Black School Choice Group Supports KKK. A major state-level teachers union accused a group promoting school
choice for African-American families of supporting the notorious white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan in a series of statements
on Thursday [8/30/2012]. The Louisiana Federation of Teachers accused the Louisiana Black Alliance for Educational Options
(BAEO) of advancing a "pro-KKK agenda," in the words of one tweet sent from the union's official Twitter account. Another
claimed that the group "endorses teaching that the KKK is good."
MN
Supreme Court smacks down Secretary of State over marriage amendment, voter-ID ballot titles. In November,
Minnesota voters will choose whether to add a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one
woman — exactly as it is currently defined by statute now. The legislature passed the bill adding the
referendum in order to keep judges in the state from overriding the statute, as has been done in other states, and allowing
only the democratic avenues of constitutional amendments as a means to change the definition. The legislature provided
a specific title for the ballot measure, "Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman," and oddly expected
Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to use that title. Instead, Ritchie changed the title to the deceptive "Limiting the
Status of Marriage to Opposite Sex Couples." He did the same to the voter-ID constitutional referendum that will also
appear on the ballot.
Mark Brown Declares Obama
is not a Chicago Politician. In a curious column the Sun-Time [sic] Mark Brown denies that President Obama has much to
do with Chicago Politics. Curious because the preponderance of evidence that Brown offers is that President Obama is a typical
Chicago politician, working in league with donors and other politicians to fleece their consituents and taxpayers. [...] If being
Emil Jones point man in Springfield, married to the daughter of a Precinct Committeman/water department employee, and having David
Axelrod as a constant flack for many years doesn't qualify you as a Chicago politician, just what does?
Evan Thomas: 'It Would Be
Better If Energy Prices Went Up'. "It would be better if energy prices went up." So amazingly said Politico's Evan Thomas on
PBS's Inside Washington Friday [8/24/2012]. [...] "No matter how much we drill, it's not going to have a big impact on energy prices."
Obama's
'Republican' Woman a Registered Democrat. One of Barack Obama's recent ads for his re-election campaign purports to feature
Republican women who have turned away from the GOP to support Obama/Biden. But, as it turns out, one of the women in the ad is not
so "Republican."
Republican Women For Obama? It
happens all the time in talk radio: a caller will say that he is a lifelong Republican, and will recall fondly how he voted for Ronald
Reagan. Then he says that today's Republicans have gone too far, and for the first time ever he is voting for a Democrat! These
callers are nearly always lying. If you look them up, you likely will find that they are Democratic Party precinct chairmen.
The Obama campaign is trying to perpetrate the same deception.
Democrat Women for Romney. The
Democrats have just released an ad called "Republican Women for Obama", in which a handful of women explain that they've voted Republican
their entire lives until this Mitt Romney fellow came along and they decided he was just way too extreme. Also, they're shocked to
discover, after voting Republican non-stop for the last 40 years, that apparently the GOP is opposed to abortion. Who knew?
The Biggest Myth of 2012. I don't know whether President Obama or
Mitt Romney will win on November 6, but I do know what the MSNBC talking heads will say in the event that Obama loses. They will
say that Republican billionaires bought the election; that Republican legislators suppressed the minority vote through onerous photo
identification requirements; and that Romney frightened white working class voters into thinking Obama favored minorities over other
groups. They will say the 2010 Citizens United decision allowed Republican billionaires to inject undisclosed "dark money"
into American politics, and Democrats could not compete because they had no financial interest at stake, no Charles Koch or Sheldon Adelson
of their own.
Liberal Radio Hosts Shameless.
As easy as it might be to forget them in the cobwebs of the AM radio dial, the liberal pretenders to the Rush Limbaugh throne are still
broadcasting, and they're often utterly, shamelessly ridiculous. Case in point: Even Al Sharpton lamely used his radio show to
defend Joe Biden's anti-Republican "they want to put y'all in chains" race baiting in front of a black audience. Another case in point:
Liberal radio hosts adore Harry Reid for making utterly unsubstantiated ugly charges that Mitt Romney evaded taxes for a decade.
Bloomberg: 'Nobody Has Come Across the [U.S.-Mexico] Border
in a Long Time'. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said last week that "nobody" had illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in a "long
time." He also advised that it would be easier for those wishing to illegally immigrate to the United States to simply buy a ticket to fly here and
then overstay their visa.
FLOTUS: Obamacare keeps
women from dying of cancer, but GOP would repeal it. Who knew that cancer would emerge as a leitmotif of the Obama campaign? First Lady
Michelle Obama is the latest to invoke cancer on the campaign trail, but she did so to tout Obamacare rather than attack Mitt Romney directly.
Actually, It Was Obama Who 'Redefined
Rape' In January 2012. The Obama campaign, its surrogates, and its media allies are accusing Republican Vice Presidential candidate
Paul Ryan of having tried to "redefine rape" — but it was President Barack Obama himself who redefined rape in January 2012, expanding the
official federal definition to include male victims and different forms of non-consensual sex. The definition of "forcible" rape to which
Ryan — and other legislators, including 11 Democrats — referred in a 2011 bill was in line with the federal definition of
rape before Obama changed it. The claim that Ryan tried to "redefine rape" is therefore anachronistic, and provably false.
Democrats Campaign On Fear, Not Ideas.
Democratic National Committee head Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Ryan wants to "shred the safety net for seniors." Service Employees International Union
President Mary Kay Henry said Ryan has a "no-holds-barred record of attacking seniors, children and working men and women." And Sen. Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., says with Ryan, Romney "has doubled down on his commitment to gut Social Security and end Medicare as we know it." Never mind that last
year, the left-leaning Politifact chose the Democrats' "end Medicare as we know it" line as "lie of the year."
When prophets are false. Liberal pundits, liberals, the Obama
machine and Obama himself all call Paul Ryan a disastrous pick for vice president. That looks like a good sign for the Mitt Romney ticket, given the
multiple records Team Obama has set since 2009 for making bad forecasts, losing elections and in general getting things wrong. [...] They said the stimulus
would keep unemployment under 8 percent and voters would love it. [...] They said people would come to love health care (they didn't), and that people
wouldn't resent or remember the way that they'd passed it (they did). They said the Tea Party was "Astroturf," "racist" and would destroy the

Civil Contempt Lawsuit Against Holder About Vote Suppression. Fast & Furious was a gun walking scheme set in place by the government.
It caused numerous guns to walk into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and 300+ Mexicans.
There are still 1,000+ guns missing. They're also linked to numerous other crimes in Mexico. It has nothing to do with anyone's right
to vote.
The Five Worst Ryan Myths. [#1] The Ryan budget "ends Medicare." [...] The
oft-repeated claim is so blatantly false that the fact-checking website PolitiFact awarded it the dubious honor of "Lie of the Year 2011," having thoroughly
debunked the charge in nine separate fact-checks rated either "False" or "Pants on Fire." Ryan has proposed to restore solvency to Medicare by gradually
transforming it from a fee-for-service government program into a "premium support" system. Americans aged 55 and above would not be affected.
The Return of Mediscare. On CNN yesterday [8/12/2012], Obama
strategist David Axelrod claimed that "most of the experts who have looked at this" have said that Paul Ryan's plan to reform Medicare would put the program "in
a death spiral" and "would raise costs on seniors by thousands of dollars." A day earlier — as Representative Ryan was preparing to accept Mitt
Romney's offer to join his ticket — Obama campaign manager Jim Messina had said the plan involved "shifting thousands of dollars in health-care costs
to seniors." None of this is true. Any expert who looks at Ryan's plan — any intelligent and fair-minded person, really — can
tell you the actual worst-case scenario for how much more it could make beneficiaries pay: $0.
"The challenge is finding anything his campaign says that is true." The Postmodern President.
The entire theory of the Obama campaign seems to be that the more outrageous the claim the better, because the more you repeat it the
more the media will talk about it, and the lie will achieve a kind legendary truth.
Obama's Campaign One Of The Dirtiest In
Modern Times. It's one thing if a drunk in a bar makes some crazy, unsubstantiated accusation. But this was the leader of the U.S. Senate
telling the American people "The word's out he (Mitt Romney) hasn't paid any taxes in 10 years. Let him prove he has paid taxes. Because he
hasn't." When asked how he knows this, Reid said he got the tip from a confidential source who had worked at Bain Capital. [...] Decent people protested
Reid's low blow. But the president of the United States wasn't among the decent people.
Update: Harry's
Source Lied, Media Complied. A letter from auditors at Price Waterhouse Cooper states unequivocally that GOP presidential candidate Mitt
Romney paid taxes every year between 1990 and 2009. This puts an end, once and for all, to irresponsible left-wing media speculation started by
Sen. Harry Reid and the Huffington Post back in July.
Details: Romney the giver. We learned
yesterday that last year Mitt Romney paid $1.9 million in taxes on an income of $14 million — and gave $4 million to
charity. The year before, he made $21.6 million, paid $3 million in taxes and gave $3 million to charity. So, to
recap: Mitt Romney has, in the past two years, paid almost $5 million in taxes while giving away $7 million.
Where's the Apology, Harry? Harry Reid owes Mitt Romney an apology.
The Romney campaign on Friday [9/21/2012] released details of the Republican nominee's 2011 federal tax return, along with a signed letter from his tax
advisers attesting to the fact that Romney paid taxes from 1990 to 2009. Their statement flatly contradicts Senate Majority Leader Reid's unfounded
and baseless assertions, made repeatedly over the last several months, that Romney paid no taxes at all for 10 years.
Harry Reid Needs To Apologize To
Mitt Romney And America. Now that Mitt Romney has released his taxes with proof that he's paid taxes over the past ten years, it's time
for United States Senator Harry Reid of Nevada to "man up!"
Unfit to Govern. Nancy Pelosi, the
leader who warned that we were losing "500 million jobs a month" without the stimulus bill and who said "God bless them" regarding
Occupy Wall Street but condemned the tea party as "AstroTurf," has declared that the Republican Party supports E. coli.
True, it's not news when Pelosi mangles the facts. But until her colleagues demote her, she remains the leader of House
Democrats.
New liberal spin: Obama's a
conservative. Academics and liberal pundits have started talking about Obama as right-of-center politically just
as he has begun to reach out to independents and moderates in his reelection campaign. Some are true critics who wish he
would do more for labor and welfare recipients and implement tougher carbon limits on coal plants. Others are trying to
portray Obama as a middle-of-of-the-roader attractive to moderate voters, not the liberal Mitt Romney attacks daily.
Democrat
Organization Masquerades as Agent of Compromise. The organization called No Labels, which purports to espouse a "working
across the aisle" mentality that will fix the "broken" federal government, is approaching Republican congressmen in order to enlist
them in its efforts.
Reverend
Al's Laugh Line: My Work Against Voter ID Laws Is 'Non-Partisan'. Al Sharpton, uttering one of the more absurd
laugh lines of this political season, actually claimed on his MSNBC show this evening that his campaign in Florida against
voter ID laws is "non-partisan." Debbie Wasserman-Schultz apparently hadn't gotten the memo about pretending
Sharpton was non-partisan. The Chair of the DNC, also a Dem Florida congresswoman, after delivering a super-partisan
diatribe on the issue, giddily thanked Sharpton for his work — before the Reverend hastened to remind viewers
that his campaign was "non-partisan."
NYC Council Speaker
Christine Quinn asks NYU to evict Chick-fil-A. A powerful New York politician claims she was just speaking as a private
citizen when she tried to run Chick-fil-A out of town, but she used her official letterhead and even invoked her position as City Council
speaker to apply pressure on the embattled chicken chain.
Big Lies in Politics.
Perhaps the biggest lie of this election year, and the one likely to be repeated the most often, is that the income of "the
rich" is going up, while other people's incomes are going down. If you listen to Barack Obama, you are bound to hear this lie
repeatedly. But the government's own Congressional Budget Office has just published a report whose statistics flatly contradict
this claim.
Sheila Jackson Lee blames Bush for Fast
and Furious. "This Fast and Furious debacle started under the Bush administration," Jackson Lee declared. "And it is been
evidenced by various reports that it started under the ATL office in Arizona unbeknownst to leadership in Washington DC, at least leadership that came
in under the Obama administration in this instance, Eric Holder." Attempts by Democrats to pin the Fast and Furious operation on Bush, however,
don't stand.
'Mr. Axelrod is not under oath on news shows.' Either
Holder or Axelrod lying about political meetings, Forbes says. Virginia Republican Rep. Randy Forbes told The Daily Caller that
he thinks either Attorney General Eric Holder or President Barack Obama's chief re-election campaign strategist, David Axelrod, is lying about
private political meetings they allegedly had together.
Van
Jones: GOP will kill EPA, poison kids. Van Jones, former green czar to President Obama, suggested that the Keystone XL pipeline
could harm America the way crack cocaine destroys the human body as he called for a grassroots environmentalist movement to push for cap and
trade. Jones praised the activists who fought Keystone by developing a drug metaphor. "They said, 'we're not going to let them jab
this dirty needle of a pipeline into America. We're not going to let them take the dirtiest energy ever created and cook it up and
stick it into this country," he said at the Take Back the American Dream conference in Washington D.C. this morning [6/18/2012].
Naomi Oreskes, Conspiracy Queen.
Naomi Oreskes is the environmentalist Noam Chomsky. She thinks that anyone who questions environmentalist doctrine is evil.
Her crusade is to expose the presumed ulterior motives of the critics. According to Oreskes, if you question the dubious
studies concerning secondhand tobacco smoke, you must be in the pay of tobacco companies. If you question global warming,
you must be working for a fossil fuel company. If you question the DDT ban, you must part of a right wing conspiracy to
weaken faith in government regulators. Oreskes is the author of one of the silliest articles ever to appear in the journal
Science.
The Year in Obama Scandals. With 2011 drawing to
a close, it is time to account. As an early-and-often chronicler of Chicago-on-the-Potomac, I am amazed at the stubborn and clingy
persistence of President Barack Obama's snowblowers in the media. See no scandal, hear no scandal, speak no scandal. Dartmouth
College professor Brendan Nyhan asserted in May — while Operation Fast and Furious subpoenas were flying on Capitol
Hill — that "one of the least remarked upon aspects of the Obama presidency has been the lack of scandals." Conveniently,
he defines scandal as a "widespread elite perception of wrongdoing."
There are actual facts, and then
there are PolitiFacts. One problem with the popular genre of journalism amusingly referred to as "fact-checking" is that
sometimes facts don't reflect badly on the Republicans. What is a "fact-checker" to do when faced with an actual fact that doesn't
help the Democrats? Easy. Just pretend it's not really a fact!
Citizens United Becomes the
Left's All-Purpose Excuse. Blaming Citizens United for the decisive Walker victory is nothing more than a smokescreen
to cover up the fact that most Wisconsin voters were tired of 15 separate, very divisive, and angry recall campaigns, all mounted
because of unhappiness among some voters with some of Walker's policies since he took office. Most people think you get your next
shot at an elected official when the candidate runs for re-election. Recalls of governors are more like impeachments — something
that is done to address corruption, or other criminal behavior (applicable to most recent governors of neighboring Illinois, for
instance).
Democrats,
Media In Denial Over Obama's Socialist Beliefs. It should come as no surprise that President Obama stands farther left on
the political spectrum than any president in history. After all, his $831 billion stimulus, TARP, auto industry takeover,
crackdown on Wall Street and the banks, housing market manipulation, ObamaCare, wealth redistribution, and demonization of American
business and profits are only a few examples of Obama's abiding belief in leftist principles. What's strange is the mainstream
media's continued efforts to debunk the idea that Obama is a socialist — recently going so far as to liken him to President
Reagan, an absurd idea if ever there was one.
The Morphing Obama Biography
and the Skeptics. An odd taboo has been created on noticing that the president of the United States has a biography
that can adapt itself to the needs of the moment. Go too far in raising an alarm, and be labeled "birther" and shunned in
polite society. [...] Want to see Obama's college transcripts? That's a hint at affirmative action — racist.
Wonder whether he attended as a foreign student? That's birther. Want to know more about Obama's religious beliefs
and his relationship with Jeremiah Wright? Racist. Note that experts assert that the posted birth certificate is a
probable digital forgery, or wonder if the White House was playing games in presenting such a strange document? Birther.
Ask whether Obama wrote his autobiography? That's racist and birther. Vote for the blank box instead of Obama
in the Democratic primary? Racist.
NPR
Spreads False Claim About Black Voters 'Targeted' by Voter ID Laws. National Public Radio, a reliable mirror of
left-wing prejudice, has outdone itself with its latest report on voter ID laws, repeating the outright lie that such
laws are aimed at discouraging or preventing black people from voting.
Independent voters call
Elizabeth Warren's Native American controversy a "non-issue". Reporters from The Republican and MassLive.com
interviewed 24 voters from around the state about the controversy over Warren's Native American ancestry.
Responses broke down largely along party lines: Republicans said Warren, a Harvard Law School professor, was wrong
to list her alleged Native American ancestry in law directories and elsewhere during her time at Harvard. Democrats
said the issue is an irrelevant diversion from Warren's views.
10
Reasons Obama Must Disclose His College Records. Desperate, Obama supporters portray all who look into his past
as "birthers." Now they ridicule efforts to find how a pot-smoking slacker got into Columbia and Harvard.
Figures don't lie: Democrats do. [Scroll down] It turns
out Rex Nutting, author of the phony Marketwatch chart, attributes all spending during Obama's entire first year, up to Oct. 1,
to President Bush. That's not a joke. That means, for example, the $825 billion stimulus bill, proposed, lobbied for,
signed and spent by Obama, goes in ... Bush's column. (And if we attribute all of Bush's spending for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars
and No Child Left Behind to William Howard Taft, Bush didn't spend much either.) Nutting's "analysis" is so dishonest, even
The New York Times has ignored it. He includes only the $140 billion of stimulus money spent after Oct. 1, 2009, as
Obama's spending.
Obama Is a Spendthrift — And
Here's the Proof. You wouldn't think that, after adding $5 trillion to the U.S.' debt, President Obama would seriously
claim he's a fiscal hawk. But thanks to a misleading article on CBS' MarketWatch site, that's just what he's doing.
The stunning chart
that shows the Obama spending binge really happened. Nutting's methodology assumes spending in the first year of a
presidential term should be credited to the previous president. OK, fine. But he attributed a $410 billion spending
bill in March of 2009 to George W. Bush even though it was signed by Barack Obama. Nutting also didn't use inflation adjusted
numbers.
Obama's big deficit lie. On
Wednesday [5/23/2012] at a Denver fundraiser, Mr. Obama said he was "running to pay down our debt in a way that's balanced and
responsible." He claimed that "after inheriting a $1 trillion deficit, I signed $2 trillion of spending cuts
into law" and that since he has been president, "federal spending has risen at the lowest pace in nearly 60 years.
Think about that." It doesn't take much thought to see that this is the most absurd claim in political memory. [...] The
"savings" Mr. Obama signed into law were all based on rosy economic projections, none of which has come true.
Marketwatch's Rex Nuttting On Obama Spending.
It's been going around Facebook and the Twitters. It's been rated "mostly true" by Politifact. It is the MarketWatch piece on
how Obama hasn't really increased spending all that much. And I'm [very] tired of picking it apart 140 characters at a time,
so I put together this sarcastic infographic showing exactly how sloppy this piece really is.
Obamish. It has taken some time and work, but our
president has invented a new language. "Obamese" and "Barackish" aren't quite right, so let's call it "Obamish." Obamish
uses English, but it does so to confuse most listeners while really communicating with only a few. Obamish is a language based
on lies — but, when it's effective, it's a language that establishes plausible deniability around the implementation of
politically risky, far-left policies. Obamish is an arrogant language, premised on a need-to-know custodial view of the governed.
Why Jeremiah Wright
Matters — Still. Obama supporters warn, "After four years, how dare you 're-litigate' the matter!"
In fact, it was never "litigated" in the first place. 2008 Republican candidate John McCain feared being accused of playing
the race card. But Wright is not about "race." It is much, much bigger than that. Wright is about Obama's character,
beliefs and policies.
It's carpetbagging in reverse: In the House, Is 80 Over the
Hill? When Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., lost the GOP primary to challenger Richard Mourdock this month, Beltway types
saw the voters' verdict as a victory for the tea party and a defeat for the kind of Republican who could work across the aisle.
I think Lugar, 80, lost because he is out of touch with Indiana. He started the primary registered to vote at an Indiana home
he had sold in 1977. The Lugars have resided in Virginia ever since. Lugar had been working in Washington for so long
that he didn't realize he needed to keep up at least the appearance of being a Hoosier.
The Left and Con Men. One hazard of
living in a world in which things have to be true simply because you want them to be true is that such a world is also highly
attractive to con men and women.
Propaganda that was supposed to target foreigners could now be aimed at Americans, reversing a longstanding policy. Congressmen Seek To Lift Propaganda Ban. The new law would give
sweeping powers to the State Department and Pentagon to push television, radio, newspaper, and social media onto the U.S. public. "It removes the protection for
Americans," says a Pentagon official who is concerned about the law. "It removes oversight from the people who want to put out this information. There are
no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false." According to this official, "senior public
affairs" officers within the Department of Defense want to "get rid" of Smith-Mundt and other restrictions because it prevents information activities designed to
prop up unpopular policies — like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How
Convenient: Potentially 180,000 Non-Citizens Capable of Voting in Swing States. Welcome to the year 2012 where the Obama Justice Department,
headed by Attorney General Eric Holder, refuses to admit voter fraud is a real threat to our democratic process while they sue state after state for
voter i.d. laws. "There is no proof that our elections are marred by in person voter fraud," Attorney General Eric Holder. "Solutions that
have been proposed go to things that do not exist, go to a problem that does not exist."
Still Clueless: What Is the Tea Party?
For the Obama camp and mainstream media to have the unmitigated gall to say the Occupy movement is equal to the Tea Party makes for off-the-chain
arrogance and shameless lying. [...] No one has been raped at a Tea Party. Rapes are occurring at OWS. No property, government or private,
has been vandalized or destroyed by Tea Party patriots. OWS has been trashing businesses. No feces has been thrown or used to make a
point at a Tea Party, but OWS dumped a bucket of feces in a public building. No arrests have been made at a Tea Party, but we have over 7,000 at
OWS. And yet, Democrat Nancy Pelosi said God bless OWS while calling the Tea Party Nazi.
The Decline of The Washington Post.
[Scroll down] The [Washington] Post is running paid ads from the Russian and Chinese governments that are made to look like
news sections of the paper. The ads, some of them six pages long, even carry a facsimile of The Washington Post
masthead. In relatively small print it says they are paid supplements and have nothing to do with the paper's news or
editorial departments. But The Washington Post masthead or logo is more prominently featured. [...] Readers are
thus given the impression that the propaganda has the approval of the Post.
The Left's National Vote Fraud Strategy Exposed.
The Left seeks fundamental structural change to our entire form of government. In keeping with their amoral, means-justifies-ends philosophy, they will
register any voters, dead or alive, legal or illegal, who will then vote as many times as possible, in order to establish a "permanent progressive majority."
As two New York Democrats recently caught in a vote fraud scandal told police, "voter fraud is an accepted way of winning elections..."
Strange Anomalies in the Famous Situation Room
Photo. The concept of a composite presidency certainly comes as no shock as someone who participated as a contributor and authored evidence
presented at Sheriff Joe Arpaio's press conference on Obama's long-form birth certificate report. On the heels of these events — and taking
advantage of an anniversary of the bin Laden raid — are recent campaign tactics to politicize the killing of Osama bin Laden. With the
re-emergence of another round of gutsy call faux heroism regarding Obama's decision, it may also be a good time to revisit the famous "Situation Room" photo
released by the White House. Is it Photoshopped? Like everything else Obama does to make a political point, is the photo a composite as well?
CBP
Director: 'Some of The Safest Communities in America' Are on U.S.-Mexico Border. The U.S. side of the
southwest border is home to "some of the safest communities in America," Gene Garza, the director of the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP)in the Laredo, Texas field office, told lawmakers on Tuesday [5/1/2012]. Garza
testified before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security on May 1 at a hearing
entitled, "Using Technology to Facilitate Trade and Enhance Security at Our Ports of Entry."
Elizabeth Warren plays the Affirmative Action system

Pro-Illegal
Immigrant Group Uses Video Tricks to Lie About Hate Crimes. A slickly produced video from leftist "racial justice" groups
Applied Research Center and their publication Colorlines that was promoted by both Media Matters for America and Moveon as part of the
Drop The I-Word campaign uses deceptive editing techniques to order to give viewers a false impression that hate crimes against Hispanics
are on the rise.
Behind "Fakegate". What could be more
American than encouraging a robust debate on one of the most controversial issues of the day? The answer — for
some on the left, anyway — is: lie about your opponents and make a pathetic effort to discredit them. That,
at least, is what an activist named Peter Gleick decided to do in a backwards attempt to promote his view that global warming is
unquestionably and primarily a man-made phenomenon — one that will cause calamitous changes in the environment.
Trayvon
and Zimmerman: The Structure and Elements of a Disinformation Campaign. "Trayvon," of course, is Trayvon Martin, the
black 17-year-old who was killed two months ago in Florida. "Zimmerman" is George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who
shot him. Referring to Martin by his first name and Zimmerman by his last is just one small tactic in the national media campaign
to make Martin's death an enduring symbol of white racism. The Trayvon campaign is accurately described as "disinformation" because
deception is a fundamental part of its planning, strategy, and implementation. Leftist disinformation campaigns are common but not
widely understood. This article is intended to make them easier to recognize, and to provide a framework for additional research
and investigation.
MMfA's Response to 'Fast and Furious' Plays Fast and Loose
with Facts. The Department of Justice reportedly referred a journalist to this story by Media Matters for America, "Fast And Fallacious:
Pavlich's Book On ATF Operation Filled With Falsehoods." The "research," presumably written by Matthew Gertz, claims Katie Pavlich's book, Fast &
Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and its Shameless Cover-Up, is filled with false claims.

Wasserman
Schultz On Senate Budget: DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and FNC's Bret Baier spar
on the Democratic-controlled Senate's inability to present and pass a budget of their own. Wasserman Schultz, as
she has said before, says to ask Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) because he is the one who is in charge of what
goes to a vote and what does not. Wasserman Schultz, however, said people aren't interested in the "process."
Obama
Once Needed 'to Take a Subway or a Bus Just to Find a Fresh Piece of Fruit'. Barack Obama's
vision as president is shaped by the fact that he knows what "it's like to take a subway or a bus just to find
a fresh piece of fruit in a grocery store," Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan said last week.
Donovan seemed to be suggesting that the president had once lived in what First Lady Michelle Obama now refers to
as a "food desert" — a place without a nearby supermarket. The First Lady has launched an
initiative to eliminate these places.
The Editor says...
If you believe this Obama anecdote has any basis in actual events, you are wasting your time on this web site.
One would have to be extremely gullible in order to believe that Barack H. Obama once boarded "a subway or a bus"
(apparently he can't remember which), in search of "a fresh piece of fruit" of no specific kind. When was the
last time you hopped on a bus to go to a grocery store? When was the last time you made the trip to your neighborhood
grocery store for one piece of fruit? What variety of fruit induces such urgency in its consumers? I am
completely confident that Barack H. Obama has never made such a journey, and the story is a shameless fabrication.
Why
Democrats won't vote on a budget. Households make budgets. So do businesses and nonprofits. There was also
a time when Congress made them, but those days are long gone — 1,086 days gone, to be precise. That's the last
time Democrats, who have controlled one or both houses of Congress this whole time, passed a budget resolution through either the
House or the Senate. [...] Asked to explain this bicameral failure in the face of trillion-dollar deficits, House Majority Leader
Steny Hoyer said, "It's difficult to pass budgets in election years."
Axelrod:
Scandals not 'emblematic' of Obama. David Axelrod, President Obama's top campaign aide, argued that the rash of recent
executive branch scandals are not "emblematic" of the president's leadership. Still, he acknowledged that he might attack a
Republican president who faced the same scandals.
Jay Carney & the 3 Hillary Rosens.
When the records of White House visitors since Obama took office were released in October of 2009, some familiar names appeared on the list:
William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright and Malik Shabbaz. But no, claimed officials, those people did visit the WH, but they're not
the guys you're thinking of. These are totally different individuals who just happen to have the same name as the famous folks.
Well, OK, if you say so. This is barely believable in the case of Moore and Ayers; not so much for Shabazz.
The Democrats' Biggest Lie. There are white lies.
There are ordinary lies. There are big lies. And then there are lies that are so huge that it is difficult for a rational person to believe
that such a lie has been attempted. The left's talking points about the GOP, contraception, and women in America in the year 2012 are based on the
biggest lie of our century: the GOP is attempting to ban contraception in America. This lie cannot stand examination.
Geithner:
Obama's Economic Policies Have Been "Remarkably Successful," You Know. It was not a fun go 'round on the Sunday
morning talk circuit for Team Obama yesterday [4/15/2012], underscored by David Axelrod's accidental de facto
endorsement of Mitt Romney on Fox News. [...] Treasury Secretary Tim Geither — last seen explaining how Obama has
no solution to the gathering debt crisis — informed NBC viewers that the president's economic policies have been
"remarkably successful."
Democrats Now Say They Never
Said 'War Against Women'? Turns out the Democrats started it all the way back in February of 2011 and even
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Chair of the DNC and a congresswoman has gone all in with the rhetoric.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.
But Celebrated. It's a tribute to the collapse of modern education that so many people, from pundits
and professors to movie stars and policy makers, continue to repeat stereotypes and slogans that are demonstrably
false and, in all likelihood, dangerous to our national health.
Pelosi: 'Congress Has Always Been A
Mockery'. "Congress has always been a mockery," Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared in an interview on "The Charlie
Rose Show" Monday night [4/2/2012]. Commenting on the public's current low opinion of Congress, Pelosi said "Congress has
always been a mockery since the beginning of our country": "Congress has always — let's put this in
perspective — Congress has always been a mockery since the beginning of our country and if you looked at the
history of it, they've always been fighting over one thing or another."
Big
Oil Profits Aren't Excessive — Left's Rhetoric Is. One of the most effective arguments used against the
oil industry is that it earns "excessive" profits that must be taxed away. But as with the rest of the left's failed energy agenda,
it's based on pure falsehoods.
Lies and Doublespeak of
American Planning Association And How to Fight Back. The words "sustainable development" are used in nearly every federal, state, and local
development plan; on nearly every federal, state, and local government web site; and in nearly every public statement on new development policies.
We even had a President's Council on Sustainable Development, created by an Executive Order of Bill Clinton, with the stated purpose to impose the
policies of Agenda 21 into United States law. Many serving on the Council helped write Agenda 21, including John Sawhill of the Nature
Conservancy, Jay Hair of the National Wildlife Federation and Michele Perrault, international Vice President of the Sierra Club. So, the exact words
"Sustainable Development" come from UN documents and its exact policies are imposed at the local level — yet, we are told by its proponents, none
of these development plans have anything to do with UN policy. It's an amazing tap dance. As local residents question their county commissioners,
city councilmen, mayors, state legislators, and governors about the origins of their policies, it has become routine for these "representatives of the
people" to get a puzzled look on their faces and a wrinkle in their brows, as they say, "I've never heard of Agenda 21." "That's just a
conspiracy theory."
DNC Debbie's Islamist Lie: The day after
an investigative piece we had written exposing the fact that Congresswoman and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was going to give the
Keynote Address at an upcoming radical Muslim fundraiser, Wasserman Schultz cancelled her speech. Her office claimed that she had
never agreed to do the event in the first place, but a newly released statement from the Islamist group's leader proves that that was
not true.
DNC Chair Denies On
Camera 'Jim Crow' Claim She Made — On Camera. DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)
denies — on camera — a claim she made — also on camera — that Republicans want to
'literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws' by enforcing voter ID laws. "I didn't. That's not
what I said," the DNC chair tells MRCTV when her on-air quote is repeated to her.
McMorris Rodgers: 'Democrats
are waging a war on reality'. Democrats and their supporters have been fundraising, campaigning and lobbying on the
idea that Republicans are engaged in a "war on women." The vice chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, however,
alleges that it is the Democrats who are "waging a war on reality."
Poking around the
propaganda factory. [Edward] Bernays worked for Woodrow Wilson, the president who was re-elected because he "kept us
out of war" and then promptly took us into World War I, where 117,000 American soldiers were killed in action. It
was Bernays who helped come up with the justification of "bringing democracy to all of Europe," and was delighted to find out that
the American public could be easily manipulated with slogans and blatant falsehoods. Although rarely acknowledged today, he
laid the groundwork for modern political propaganda and in particular is the godfather of progressive techniques for pushing public
opinions such as those used by moveon.org and Media Matters.
Bob
Kerrey eligible for Senate run despite 'troubling' residency hijinks. Nebraska Secretary of State John Gale on
Friday [3/16/2012] allowed Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Bob Kerrey to remain on the state's May 15 primary ballot,
overruling objections by the state Republican Party that Kerrey had repeatedly failed to meet state residency requirements.
Republicans are now vowing to fight that ruling, charging that Kerrey, a last-minute candidate in the race to fill Ben Nelson's
Senate seat, may have broken state law by lying on his voter registration forms in his rush to make the ballot.
'Frack nation'.
Thanks to the Oscar-nominated documentary "Gasland," many people believe fracking — a process of getting
natural gas out of rock — pollutes water and creates wastelands wherever it is used. But like so
many documentaries nowadays, Gasland is high on anecdote and emotion but low on science and fact. One of the
most dramatic images in "Gasland" is footage of a resident lighting his tap water with flames shooting out of the
faucet. As a journalist, I wanted to learn more, so I went to a Q&A with Gasland director Josh Fox.
As I questioned him, Fox eventually admitted that he knew people could light their tap water in these areas
decades before fracking came on the scene.
Ogletree: I was joking about Obama video
clip. Harvard Law Professor Charles Ogletree told the Herald he was just kidding when he suggested that a
decades-old clip of a young Barack Obama praising and embracing controversial Professor Derrick Bell was kept hidden from
voters during the 2008 campaign. "It was a big joke," Ogletree said. "If you watch the tape, the audience is
laughing when I'm laughing."

This is a very common Democrat tactic: They will say something outrageous, and if there are any objections, follow up a few days later with, "Can't you take a joke?"
Democrat Environmental Official Forced To Resign Over Menacing Phone Call.
[Deputy state Energy and Environment Commissioner Jonathan] Schrag Tuesday [2/28/2012] denied making the call, and said he didn't
know who made it or how. He did acknowledge that it was his voice; he said he had made the comment in a social setting, and
someone must have recorded it and then found a way to play it in the late-night phone call to [Cynthia] David. Also, Schrag
added, whoever did it somehow managed to make Schrag's cellphone number come up on David's caller ID.
Some 'Splainin' to do in
Chicago. Why did it take an obscure website to break this story when the Sun-Times has those
three-musketeer journalists they call the WATCHDOGS? And when the Trib has equally dogged sleuths
like John Kass and John Chase? Did either paper have knowledge concerning
what Illinois Pay To Play reported and decide to sit on the
information? Thanks to the legendary Bob Cooley, yet again, some current and former Chicagoans got some
'splainin' to do. But, what we'll most likely hear instead is the sound of crickets.
Jarrett:
Unemployment checks stimulate the economy. This evening [2/21/2012], speaking at North Carolina Central
University in Durham, North Carolina, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said that folks getting and spending
unemployment checks is a healthy thing ... because it stimulates the economy.
Gassy Rhetoric: DNC chair blamed Republicans for high gas prices in
2005. Obama told students in Miami on Thursday that there is "no silver bullet" when it comes to lowering
gas prices. The White House press secretary told reporters this week there are no "magic solutions." But
Democrats haven't always been so consistent in their message. In fact, one prominent Democrat argued in 2005 that
President Bush and Republicans were directly to blame for high gas prices.
Jay Carney
reveals Republicans are to blame for Obama killing Keystone XL Pipeline. It was the initial accidental
admission by an administration spokesman that there was something other than credit to be assessed for Obama's torpedoing
the job-creating pipeline from Alberta, Canada to Texas to carry 700,000 barrels of reliable crude oil per day to American
refineries from the United States' largest, most reliable and friendliest trading partner, enhancing energy security and
keeping billions of dollars a year from flowing to unfriendly regimes in sandy, hot places across the dangerous,
environmentally-sensitive seas.
Obama's Law of Contraception.
I have frequently discussed in this column the concept of Calculated Deception. That is President Obama's
practice of taking advantage of what he calculates average people don't know, and what the Democratic Party-controlled
media won't tell them, to mislead them into thinking and believing what will most benefit him politically. That
practice is now spreading across the entire Democrat party. We are seeing this play out now in particularly
ugly fashion in regard to the fabricated issue of contraception.
Al
Sharpton and Elijah Cummings Lie About Fast and Furious. Sharpton recently addressed Fast and Furious
on his show, Politics Nation. Needless to say it was a mess. Mr. Sharpton starts the show
with a flat out lie: Fast and Furious was just like the programs under President Bush. ... The whole
time Rep Cummings sits back and allows Mr. Sharpton to hurl out these obvious lies and accusations. Shame
on you Rep Cummings. You know all of this is false and you allow it to be said all the same.
Why Pay to Read Lies? Newspapers in Decline.
In 1984, I founded The National Anxiety Center as a clearinghouse for information about scare campaigns that were
designed to influence public opinion and policy. My primary concern was all the lies being told by self-identified
environmentalists. Simply stated, if some Green group tells you something, get a second and third opinion.
They are lying. ... The media has taken their lies at face value and continue to pass them along to a public that
is easily fooled and easily scared. This is especially true of "official" sources such as the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and others. All governments lie to their citizens and ours
is no exception.
Obama Photoshopped Into
Jesse Jackson Jr. Billboard. Locked in a tough primary challenge, Jesse Jackson Jr. appears to be relying
on Photoshop to save his political career. His campaign recently erected a billboard that depicts Jackson and the
president posing together. The only caveat: the picture is Photoshopped, according to a report on Chicago's
NBC 5 News.
Hoyer: 'The Fact Is You Don't Need a
Budget'. [Scroll down] The last time the Senate passed a budget was on Apr. 29, 2009.
The federal government has since been operating on funds approved through a series of continuing resolutions (CR),
raises in the debt ceiling, and several appropriations bills. The last CR was passed in mid-December 2011, by
both the House and Senate, and signed by President Barack Obama. That $915-billion deal, along with several
appropriations measures, will keep the federal government operating though the end of fiscal year 2012, on Sept. 30.
Wasserman
Schultz: Romney is "Extreme Right" and Obama is "Moderate". Local Congresswoman and chair of the
Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz is President Obama's biggest cheerleader, and that was
apparent in her interview with Jack, Tedd and Corey on AM Tampa Bay.
Holder's
fantastical claim about 'Fast and Furious'. [Eric] Holder wants Americans to believe an obvious fantasy,
namely that he didn't know about Fast and Furious until witch-hunting House Republicans made it a highly charged
partisan issue a few months ago. But after reviewing new emails made public by the Justice Department last
Friday, it seems clear that accepting Holder's claim at face value would be credulous in the extreme.
WH:
'No Constitutional Rights Issue' in Forcing Catholics to Act Against Their Faith. White House
Press Secretary Jay Carney says there are no "constitutional rights issues" involved in a regulation issued by
the administration that requires all health-care plans in the United States to cover sterilizations and all
FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that induce abortions.
Full-of-Pelosi. While
she was discussing Obamacare she said: "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it,
away from the fog of the controversy." Unemployment checks create jobs? Really? They do
according to Nancy: "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name." Fossil
fuels make a great alternative to — fossil fuels. Yes she said this: "I believe in natural
gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels," she said at one point. Natural gas "is cheap, abundant
and clean compared to fossil fuels," she said at another.
Race for the Smear.
'Politics have no place in health care," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement Thursday [2/2/2012]. That
pronouncement may strike New Yorkers, who've spent a decade complying with Mr. Bloomberg's nanny-state mandates on
smoking and trans-fats, as ironic. Most recently, his administration has come under fire for using fake photos
of diabetic amputees in subway ads about the dangers of sweetened beverages.
NYC 'food police' caught in an ad
lie. A fear-inducing advertisement, posted around New York City, warning that too much sugary soda will
give you diabetes and cause you to lose limbs has come under scrutiny because the amputee in the poster lost his leg due
to Photoshop, not diabetes.
Dem
lawmaker says 20,000 Keystone XL jobs 'not that many'. Chicago Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky (Ill.) drew fire
from Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.) on Wednesday [1/25/2012] when she dismissed the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline,
suggesting the 20,000 jobs it could create were relatively insignificant in the scheme of the greater economy.
Is
Obama 'Untethered to the Facts'? Are his lips moving? Well, every commercial needs to grab the
viewer's attention and this one does just that. They come out fighting with "Secretive oil billionaires
are attacking Obama." That's an attention grabber, eh? Right from the get-go, 'secretive oil
billionaires.' No names, no pictures, just a statement.
Greens
Target Pro-Life Evangelicals with EPA Propaganda Blitz. [The Evangelical Environmental Network]
announced it had just completed a quarter-million-dollar radio, television, and billboard advertising campaign
in nine states and the District of Columbia aimed at convincing evangelical and Catholic voters that supporting
the new EPA regulations is the "pro-life" position they should be urging their Senators and Congressmen to take.
Incredibly, the EEN ads bestow a "pro-life" label on politicians with a voting record 100 percent in favor
of abortion — because they support the new mercury regulations.
Documents Show Justice's Breuer Misled On
'Furious'. Attorney General Eric Holder insists "nobody at the Justice Department has lied"
about the gun-running scandal Fast and Furious. That in itself is a lie, as his deputy's emails prove.
Obama's imperiled
America. The administration will get a free pass in making political hay out of the bin Laden
takedown. The same critics who grumbled that the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks should be off limits for
President George W. Bush in the 2004 election will be more than willing to put bin Laden's death at the
center of Mr. Obama's case for reelection.
White
House gets their Bible wrong. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, in his briefing [on 11/1/2011],
quoted a widely-known motto but made a mistake by mis-attributing it to the Bible. "Well, I believe
the phrase from the Bible is, 'The Lord helps those who help themselves,'" he said. But the White House
transcript noted the error with an asterisk and the text: "This common phrase does not appear in
the Bible."
Massive
Fraud Uncovered in Work by Social Psychologist. When colleagues called the work of Dutch
psychologist Diederik Stapel too good to be true, they meant it as a compliment. But a preliminary
investigative report released on October 31 gives literal meaning to the phrase, detailing years
of data manipulation and blatant fabrication by the prominent Tilburg University researcher.
On FOIA,
Obama wants a license to lie. Obama's Justice Department has proposed a regulatory change that
would weaken the Freedom of Information Act. Under the new rules, the government could falsely respond
to those who file FOIA requests that a document does not exist if it pertains to an ongoing criminal investigation,
concerns a terrorist organization, or a counterintelligence operation involving a foreign nation. There are
two problems with the Obama proposal to allow federal officials to affirmatively assert that a requested document
doesn't exist when it does.
Justice
Dept. proposes lying, hiding existence of records under new FOIA rule. A proposed revision to
Freedom of Information Act rules would allow federal agencies to lie to citizens and reporters seeking certain
records, telling them the records don't exist. The Justice Department has proposed the change as part of
a large revision of FOIA rules for federal agencies. Specifically, the rule would direct government
agencies who are denying a request under an established FOIA exemption to "respond to the request as if the
excluded records did not exist," rather than citing the relevant exemption.
White
House backs Biden's rape, murder remarks. The White House on Thursday [10/20/2011] defended Vice
President Joseph R. Biden's rhetoric that more Americans will be raped and killed if Republican lawmakers
reject part of President Obama's jobs bill that would pay for more police officers on the street.
Biden's
Criminal Lies. Vice President Joe Biden's challenge to the GOP that blocking the jobs bill would
mean more rapes and murders is beneath even the remarkably low standard he's set for that office. His
claim is also utterly bogus.
Infallible Obama.
Democrats argue that as bad as things are in the country, they could be worse. Earlier this month, House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Democrat, claimed that without the 2009 economic-stimulus plan,
unemployment would be 14.5 percent, a ludicrous claim not even asserted by the cheerleaders of the original
nearly-trillion-dollar stimulus plan.
Obama Lies For "A Higher Truth".
It's quite telling that President Obama couldn't find a highly qualified teacher in the Boston Public Schools
to talk about who is actually unemployed. It would seem that liberals who accused President Bush of lying
about WMD don't care if President Obama lies if it promotes a cause with which they agree. It's OK for
President Obama to lie if it is in service of "a higher truth."
Ben & Jerry's Pushes Occupy Defacement
of Currency. Co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream Ben Cohen is launching a new campaign to help his friends in the Occupy
movement. No, he isn't donating his millions of dollars to charity. He's going to help distribute rubber stamps which can be
used to deface dollar bills. Cohen's goal is to get "thousands of people to buy rubber stamps and stamp any currency that comes
into their possession."
'Anyone'
Can See Economy's Improving, DNC Chair Insists. DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz insisted to
CNSNews.com yesterday that "anyone' can see that the economy is improving ... Even the 115,730 people who
lost their jobs last month (the most in more than two years), or the American Airlines workers faced with
the danger that their employer is going to have to file for bankruptcy?
The Bugaboo of the Left.
Contrary to the Marxist "working class" myth, the left has always been a movement largely of and by intellectuals.
Their strong suit is propaganda, and they owe their undeniable successes in propaganda warfare to acting in a
highly disciplined fashion and strictly hewing to their own rules of the game.
Liberals and Magical Math.
Nancy Pelosi has made what could quite possibly be the most imbecilic utterances ... regarding job creation
and stimulating the economy:
• Unemployment benefits "injects demand into the economy."
• Unemployment benefits "is a job creator."
• "Unemployment insurance, the economists tell us, return $2 for every $1 that is put
out there for unemployment insurance."
• It creates jobs to help reduce the deficit.
• "This is one of the biggest stimuluses to our economy. Economists will tell you this
money is spent quickly. It injects demand into the economy, and is job creating."
• Unemployment insurance "creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name
because, again, it is money that is needed for families to survive, and it is spent. So it has a double
benefit. It helps those who have lost their jobs, but it also is a job creator."
• "It is the biggest bang for the buck when you do food stamps and
unemployment insurance. The biggest bang for the buck."
Why Liberals Love Compromise.
Set up a new half-way point between a new status quo and liberal utopia and you move even closer. Get
the idea? The game is a "heads I win, tails you lose" schoolyard setup. By playing it at all,
America never becomes more conservative, government never becomes smaller, schools never become more
accountable to parents' wishes, spending is never cut, and on and on.
No, Bush Was Not Responsible For
Solyndra. It's true that the Solyndra loan application was filed during the Bush
years, and kicked around with varying levels of enthusiasm. Evidently proceeding on the
assumption that their remaining supporters are idiots, the Obama people just decided to leave
out the part of the story where the Bush team voted against the Solyndra loan, for precisely
the reasons Obama tried to cover up when he was pushing it through.
Lib
Activist Physically Assaults GOP Lawmaker in Wisconsin, Media Silent. A known liberal
activist that has for months been stalking several Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin, verbally abusing
them, has finally crossed the line into a physical attack. So ... where is the Old Media to
chronicle this assault?
Being a Christian Ain't What It Used to Be.
[Anders] Breivik isn't the first mass murderer converted to Christianity by the Church of the Holy Left.
"I am a complete pagan," Adolf Hitler proclaimed. He killed thousands of priests in concentration camps and
established Nazism as a quasi state religion. Yet, leftists routinely invoke the irreligious German as a
forerunner of American religious conservatives.
The Left Owns the
Election Law Industry. Activists posing as nonpartisan academics, like Michael Waldman of
the Brennan Center or Tova Wang of DEMOS, disingenuously claim voter fraud doesn't exist. Wang is
particularly dishonest. She released a report after the 2010 elections that there was no voter
fraud. Wang's conclusion came only two days after the election, hardly enough time for the careful
study necessary for such a sweeping conclusion. Nevertheless, sycophants in the media
lapped it up.
Dem.
Lawmaker: 'We Don't Have a Deficit Problem Right Now'. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.)
argued at a news conference with the Congressional Out of Poverty Caucus that the United States
does not currently have a budget crisis. "That's the real crisis — the unemployment,
not the deficit. We don't have a deficit problem right now. In the long term, we
have a deficit problem — we've got to get it under control but not right now," said
Nadler at the Capitol on Wednesday [7/27/2011].
Kerry
spokesman stripped of Silver Star. John Kerry has to be hoping this doesn't become a trend.
As one might imagine, the media has ignored this story. Even the Navy Times declined to post its own
article online.
Obama
Lies About Mom, Networks Yawn. In 1996, Gore moved the Democrats to tears by claiming that when
his sister Nancy died of cancer in 1984, he vowed then and there to oppose the tobacco industry. How
courageous — and completely untrue. The Times found Gore campaigned in 1988 boasting of his tobacco-farming
prowess. He lied through his teeth. Network coverage from ABC, CBS or NBC on this whopper, even
as Gore prepared a presidential run? Zero.
Pre-Existing Prevarication.
During his 1996 reelection campaign, President Bill Clinton famously recounted "vivid and painful memories of
black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child." It was a moving story, and it helped
shore up his sagging support among minority voters. It was also a lie.
Negotiating with Lunatics.
Until recently, I was willing to believe that President Obama and his party were merely way-out-leftists, even
Marxists. But after listening to their response to last week's horrific economic news, I can only conclude
that today's Democratic Party has lost its collective mind. In this nurse's expert opinion, Obama and the
Democrats are crazy. ... Only a crazy person would insist that we raise taxes in a recession. Only a crazy
person would tell us that Social Security is just fine. Only a crazy person believes that people won't vote
based on the unemployment rate.
Feds
End Criminal Probe Of O'Donnell. O'Donnell's lawyer alleged in a letter to the U.S. Attorney's office
that Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington, knowingly made
false statements in the complaint against O'Donnell.
You
are what your record says you are. Last month, David Gregory tripped up new DNC Chair Debbie
Wasserman Schultz up with a chart detailing President Obama's economic record. It showed unemployment up
25 percent since Obama was inaugurated, debt up 35 percent, and gas up more than 100 percent.
Wasserman Schultz lamely tried to argue that the economy was getting better, to which Gregory replied:
"Americans don't believe that's the case." This Sunday [7/10/2011] was Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's
turn and he fared no better. At one point he even blamed the weather for Obama's terrible economic record.
Budget Lies and
Distortions. It's amazing how often an absurd idea becomes an article of faith among Democrats, who
then — with the help of their puppets in the media — repeat it over and over again.
President Obama's war on facts.
President Obama's "corporate jet" line from his press conference Wednesday [6/29/2011] is crashing along with
a host of other claims that fact-checkers dismissed in the hours after his speech. Obama referred to
private jets six times in his remarks, essentially describing the Republican position on how to decrease
rampant deficits as being "willing to compromise their kids' safety so that some corporate jet owner
continues to get a tax break."
How
the Democrats Nearly Destroyed the Economy. In 1963, a popular Democratic president was assassinated
by a Marxist named Oswald, who had actually defected to the Soviet Union and returned to the U.S. with a Soviet
wife, was an active member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, and had attempted to assassinate a right-wing
general named Edwin Walker earlier in the year. Yet those who write history found these facts inconvenient.
They created a different history in which the "atmosphere of hate" in the southern city of Dallas, Texas, led to
the terrible political violence. In other words, it was political conservatism that led to John F.
Kennedy's assassination.
The Honor of Leftists and
Conservatives. The political news is filled with three personal scandal stories: Anthony
Weiner is resigning because of his lying; John Edwards has been indicted, basically for lying; and the jury
is still out (literally) in the trial of Rod Blagojevich for lying. Can anyone connect the dots of the
broader political story?
Did Elizabeth Warren lie
to Congress? Newly obtained documents raise the question of whether Elizabeth Warren, a top
aide to President Obama and liberal darling, lied to Congress in downplaying her role in ongoing settlement
negotiations over a major legal dispute. Warren, who has said she is "advising" the President on
establishing the nascent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [CFPB] — a new federal agency
created by the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that does not obtain any legal authority until
July 21 — is actually leading the organization as if it already existed, documents show.
The Alternate
Universe of Democrats. When confronted with the news that the economy has gotten worse under
President Obama, both the President and Congresswoman [Debbie Wasserman Schultz] have offered up answers
that display a stunning disregard for what is happening with the economy.
A
Look Back At The Great Church Fire Propaganda Campaign. Fifteen summers ago, America's news
media informed us that black churches throughout the South were being torched by white racists. The
purported wave of arsons dominated the airwaves and generated thousands of newspaper articles. Pundits,
politicians and preachers decried the terrorism and the hate it represented. In fact, it never happened.
The
President's Low-Tax Lie. In the left's endless attempt to push tax hikes on our beleaguered
economy, it's now peddling the bogus claim that tax rates are the lowest they've been in 60 years.
Goodwin Liu Must Be Stopped.
President Obama recently nominated Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals,
looking to shift an already-radical panel even further to the left. ... He actually states that the Constitution
mandates "a minimal safety net" (where?), "basic employment supports" (where?), "health insurance" (where?),
"child care" (where?), "transportation subsidies" (where?), "job training" (where?), and a "robust earned
income tax credit" (where?). Apparently Liu isn't just ideologically driven, he's constitutionally
illiterate.
'Weinergate'.
Rep. Weiner stands accused of sending a lewd picture to a young girl via Twitter. He says he didn't
do it. At first his office said his Twitter account was "hacked." Now he says it was all a
"prank." This is an important change in language because to claim his account was hacked is to claim
he was a victim of a crime. Meanwhile a prank is something he can wave away.
Did Rep. Weiner
Violate House Rules? According to the House regulations, any Member "must immediately report
any unauthorized access or unusual system activities to the House Information Resources Security Office
(202-226-6448). HIR will investigate any breaches of the Internet security system." This rule
would apply to Rep. Anthony Weiner's claim of a hacker gaining access to his official facebook and twitter
accounts.
Salon
Writer Admits Embellishing Abortion Story. [Mikki] Kendall's entire Salon story was built upon her
accusation that a heartless, negligent, anti-abortion doctor was willing to let her hemorrhage to death rather
than provide a life-saving abortion. And she has now admitted her story was a big, fat, fabricated lie.
DNC Chair: Republicans
Believe Illegal Immigration 'Should be a Crime'. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.),
chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, denounced Republicans last week for believing illegal
immigration "should in fact be a crime." "I think the president was clearly articulating that his
position — the Democratic position — is that we need comprehensive immigration
reform," said Wasserman Schultz at a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast on May 26.
Don't Believe What Teachers Tell
You. Teachers unions say California must not roll back annual increases in public school spending.
And they're not too careful about facts when they make that case. Teachers frequently claim, for example,
that California is in either 49th or 50th place among the 50 states in per-pupil spending. In fact,
the Golden State is 31st in per-pupil spending.
Who's
Really Making Things Up? A House panel grilled Elizabeth Warren, the interim director of the
new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), this week. Republicans on the committee want to strip
the agency of its power before it even begins on July 21. The agency's purpose is to oversee rules
regulating loans, credit cards and mortgages for consumers. Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., the chairman
of the subcommittee, accused Warren, a Harvard professor currently on leave from the university, of lying to
Congress about her role in helping state officials negotiate a settlement with mortgage servicers that improperly
foreclosed on homeowners.
Ravening Wolf at America's Door.
In open societies where the masses go about the daily grind of getting by, the Marxists are out there turning
society upside-down. Wrong is presented as right; evil as good. Once enough tables have been
sufficiently turned upside-down, the Marxists turn around and blame it on the other side. Above all else
the Marxists excel at the fine art of projection. Because they lack empathy of others, and like
textbook psychopaths have no conscience, they don't even mind getting caught.
DNC
chairwoman doesn't drive American. The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC)
appears to drive a foreign car, despite criticizing Republican presidential candidates for supposedly favoring
foreign auto manufacturers.
Compare and Contrast.
Nancy Pelosi, press conference, September 7, 2006: ["][E]ven if [Osama bin Laden] is
caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there.
But, in fact, the damage that he has done ... is done. And even to capture him now I don't think makes
us any safer.["] Nancy Pelosi, earlier today [5/2/2011]: ["]The death of Osama
bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. ...["]
Left's
Ideology Is Untethered From The Facts. Last month, Barack Obama was asked by an interviewer
from Texas why he is so unpopular there. Obama replied: "Texas has always been a pretty Republican
state, for, you know, historic reasons." Well, yes, "always" — if you believe, as many baby
boomers seem to, that the world began when they became more or less sentient. But, for the record: ... Other
than during Reconstruction, Texas did not elect a Republican senator until 1961 (John Tower) and did not
elect a second one (Phil Gramm) until 1984, and there were not as many as three Texas Republicans in the
U.S. House until 1968. Republicans were not a majority of the state's congressional delegation
until 2005.
Krauthammer:
It's Funny to Hear Liberals ... After What They Did to Bush. As the discussion on PBS's "Inside
Washington" turned to the President finally revealing his birth certificate, and liberals on the panel
including the Washington Post's Colby King expressed disgust about how the White House resident was being
treated, Krauthammer marvelously replied, "I think it's somewhat amusing to hear people on the left talking
about how awful it is to delegitimize a president when they spent half a decade saying that George Bush
stole the election"
Political Shock And
Awe, Please. Of course nobody believes the Democrat politicians who say that Republicans just
love to kill old people, children, and women. But the objective is not to make the accusation believable,
it is to smear the Republicans just enough so that an unpleasant odor should stick to them. Will it work?
There is no reason to think it won't. So far it has worked every time.
The "Smart" Meters Cometh. If you
want something to appear beneficial usually you just have to add certain adjectives to accomplish that feat.
Tired of your old laundry detergent? Try the "new and improved", "eco-friendly," version that will give you
"whiter whites"! You want someone to not know what you are really up to but do not want to technically lie to
them either? Just adapt words and even invent new phrases. Hey, you see those troops over there?
They are not at war. They are part of a "kinetic military action"! Liberals are not socialist, they are
"progressive"! Abortion is not murder; it is a "choice"!
California
Democrats rally around unions. Framing the union battles taking place across the nation as a
fundamental attack on working Americans, Democratic leaders on Saturday accused Republicans of scapegoating
public employees for political gain. "They are intent on dismantling the very economic ladder that
lifted our middle class and made California the richest and greatest state in the greatest nation in the
world," Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris told thousands of delegates and supporters gathered at the Democrats'
annual convention in Sacramento.
The Editor says...
When you look at the state's net worth, California is not the richest state in the country, by any
means. California is broke, and nearly all the blame should be assigned to left-wing
tax-and-spend Democrats.
Weiner's
Social Security scam. Democrats never miss an opportunity to pander to older voters by demagoguing
on Social Security — and Brooklyn Rep. Anthony Weiner seems only too glad to lead the way.
Weiner, who dreams of becoming mayor, has introduced a bill to require a two-thirds majority in Congress
to enact any changes in Social Security — a near-impossible hurdle. His goal: to
"defend" an entitlement system he insists is "fiscally responsible" and fundamentally sound.
Durbin Hearing to Fuel the Muslim Victimhood
Myth. The FBI reports that anti-Jewish hate crimes are nearly eight times more common than
anti-Muslim attacks — yet Sen. Richard Durbin (D.-Ill.) announced last week that he was going
to hold a Senate hearing not on the resurgence of anti-Semitism, but on "anti-Muslim bigotry." For the
truth-adverse Left, it was just another day at the office.
NPR hates you. When the
tape was aired, Mr. Schiller issued a statement that his offensive language was "counter to NPR's values" and,
incredibly, "not reflective of [his] own beliefs." NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller, who is an
ideological sister but not a blood relative of Mr. Schiller, rushed out a statement saying his remarks were
"contrary to what NPR stands for and are deeply distressing to reporters, editors and others who bring fairness,
civility and respect for a wide variety of viewpoints to their work everyday." Does any thoughtful person
believe either of these announcements? It is extremely doubtful that anyone — including the
flacks who wrote the statements, the lawyers who signed off on them and the people in whose name they were
released — believes a word of them.
Secret Foreign Money At NPR.
NPR made a big deal of trumpeting their refusal to accept this fat donation. "The fraudulent
organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no
strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept," their official response declared. As it
turns out, they were lying through their teeth. NPR was not only happy to accept millions from the
men posing as Muslim Brotherhood operatives, it volunteered to help them avoid government scrutiny by
remaining anonymous.
The congressman told a teachable story this
morning. One problem: It's untrue. Rep.
Keith Ellison's Bigotry. This morning [3/10/2011], Rep. Keith Ellison (Democratic-Farmer-Labor
party, Minn.) appropriated a hearing on Islamic radicalism by weeping his way through a speech about
whata-buncha-nasty-bigots Americans are. He chose as his case in point Mohammed Salman Hamdani,
a Pakistani-born Muslim American who rushed to lower Manhattan on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001,
to assist in rescue efforts, and died in the collapse of the World Trade Center.
The tears of a clown.
Yesterday, Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison started crying during Republican Congressman Peter King's
hearing on Muslim radicalism. Ellison was describing the death of Mohammad Salam Hamdani, a Muslim
killed on 9/11, when his voice began to crack. I was watching the hearing at home, and I instantly felt
sorry for the guy. Here he was defending his faith and those who hold it, and it was overwhelming.
Then, I thought: this dude is faking it. For one thing, the sequence seemed off. When people
cry, the process is pretty much the same.
The Politics
of Social Security Reform. Democrat politicians are waging yet another media campaign
to block Social Security reform. Late last month Senator Durbin claimed, "Social Security does
not add one penny to the deficit." Two days later, a White House aide assured voters that Social
Security reform is "not one you care about" and President Obama's budget director opposed reform in a
USA Today op-ed. The Hill then quoted half a dozen more Democrats singing from the same anti-reform
songbook.

Non-Political Differences Between Liberals and Conservatives: As Charles Krauthammer once said,
To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives
think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. If you think your opponents
are evil, you tend to be okay with using tactics that you would describe as "evil" under other circumstances to
fight them. If you're up people you compare to Nazis, it's easy to tell yourself that lying to beat them
isn't so bad.
Rangel
says U.S. 'not broke,' should reject GOP cuts. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) on Wednesday [3/9/2011] said
the federal government is not broke, and that Congress should not begin cutting programs in the way that Republicans
have proposed. "Make no mistake about it, we're not broke," Rangel said in a floor discussion with Rep. John
Garamendi (D-Calif.) "It wasn't that we overcompensated public employees. They didn't cause this deficit."
Rangel's remarks go against those made by Republicans, who argued that continued deficit spending is unsustainable.
The Truth About Wisconsin.
The fundamental issue in Wisconsin — and states considering similar budget cuts — is not
whether government employees should contribute more (in Wisconsin's case, more being merely something) to
their health or pension plans — though that is important. Rather, it is whether workers should
have the right to say no. If passed, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's emergency budget will allow workers
to opt out of joining a union and still keep their jobs. It would allow workers to vote every year on
whether they want to keep their union. ... Unions allege that, if Walker's budget bill is passed, state
employees will be subject to arbitrary disciplinary actions and firings. Nothing could be further
from the truth.
ICE Director:
U.S.-Mexico Border Is Secure As It Has Been in 20 Years. When asked if it was necessary to
seal the southwest border to combat transnational drug gangs, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
Director John Morton did not directly answer but said the border is more secure now than in the last
20 years and that crime is part of life in the United States.
Eleanor
Clift Asks "Since When Does Scott Walker Represent 'The People'?" Maybe someone should have told
Eleanor that Walker won in 2010 by roughly the same margin Barack Obama did in 2008, as she certainly thinks
the current White House resident represents "the people". More importantly, as is clearly evident in
Clift's protestations, Democrats elected with union money represent the people. Republicans supported
by individuals don't. As I've said for years, it takes a lot of rationalizations to be a liberal these
days.
Are Public Unions
Speeding American's Destruction? The ongoing public employees' union protests in Wisconsin
against the (minor) cut in benefits witnesses these protestors comparing their struggle to those of the
popular, spontaneous public uprising raging all over the Middle East. Such a claim however is ludicrous
and laughable. The public in the Middle Eastern countries is revolting against government tyranny.
On the contrary, if the demands of the Wisconsin protestors are heeded, it would result in high taxes and
therefore, more government tyranny on the public. Any claims by the unions portraying themselves as
pro-children or pro-public to justify their demands are blatantly false. Make no mistake, a victory
for the unions' means greater tyranny and suffering for the public.
Sick Democrats and Mob Rule.
On Thursday, more than 1,000 teachers called in sick. What kind of message does it send for a teachers to
call in sick when she is not sick? Most people call that lying. Furthermore, is it not fraud when
they call in sick while spending the day shouting and carrying protest signs at the state capitol and being paid
sick leave by the taxpayers? The numbers are revealing. Wisconsin teachers average $89,000 a year
in salary and benefits. The average U.S. private sector worker gets $61,000.
The Wisconsin
Protests and the New Medical Ethics. One blogger posted the fake "sick" note he received from
the doctors. He observed, "I am not a teacher, but I managed to get a note. They did not ask for
any identification or where I might teach. They were literally handing these out to anyone and everyone."
University of Wisconsin law professor Ann Althouse spoke with one of these doctors who was completely unapologetic
for his actions, saying that it was "not dishonest" but rather "an ok thing to do" because it was in the
interest of "social activism." These sorts of moral rationalizations are an entirely predictable outcome
of the new form of "progressive" medical ethics being taught to American medical students.
Wisconsin Myths
and Facts: MYTH: [Governor] Walker, if he
succeeds, will make Wisconsin peculiarly hard on its employees. FACT: The governor proposes that
public employees contribute 12.6 percent of the cost of their health care. That is still less than half of
the national average. He proposes that they pay less than 6 percent of their earnings toward their pensions
that is in line with the national average. MYTH: Walker is an extremist
taking away collective-bargaining rights. FACT: He's taking away the
right to collectively bargain on pensions and benefits, but not on wages — though wage increases will be
capped at the rate of inflation. This is a very modest and sensible reform.
Bogus
statistic from Wisconsin union backers spreads in media despite being debunked. On Wednesday
[2/23/2011], PolitiFact debunked the claim by Wisconsin union supporters that Virginia, which bans collective
bargaining in state agencies, ranks 44th in the nation in ACT/SAT scores, compared to Wisconsin ranking 2nd.
For example, it noted that in 2009, Virginia ranked 22nd in ACT scores, while Wisconsin ranked 13th.
As PolitiFact notes, this claim was originally disseminated by the Wisconsin Democratic Party, which has
now retracted it. (Although PolitiFact didn't note this, in 2010, Virginia actually beat Wisconsin in
ACT scores, with Virginia ranked 12th and Wisconsin ranked 17th. Unlike Wisconsin, Virginia is a
right-to-work state that bars forcing employees to pay union dues. Collective bargaining with
government employee unions is currently mandated in Wisconsin, but banned in Virginia).
The "Judicial
Activism" Ploy. The new definition of "judicial activism" defines it as declaring laws
unconstitutional. It is a simpler, easily quantifiable definition. You don't need to ask
whether Congress exceeded its authority under the Constitution. That key question can be sidestepped by
simply calling the judge a "judicial activist." A judge who lets politicians do whatever they want to,
whether or not it violates the Constitution, never has to worry about being called a judicial activist by the
left or by most of the media. But the rest of us have to worry about what is going to happen to this
country if politicians can get away with ignoring the Constitution.
We
hold these lies to be self-evident... This won't surprise you, but Sen. Harry Reid told a big
whopper the other night right before the vote on Obamacare. Repealing the unconstitutional law, the
Nevada hack harrumphed, "would kick kids off their parents' health insurance." Kids? At exactly
what age do you stop being a "kid"? Obamacare says you're a "kid" at age 26. But if you're an
illegal alien, you get to be a kid a lot longer — the late, unlamented Dream Act for illegal
aliens defined children as any "undocumented workers" under the age of 35.
Had enough
'stimulus'? Not Obama. There is an inherently profound disconnect when Democrats actually
believe you can both cut spending and increase spending while meaningfully cutting the deficit.
It's a trick of accounting because spending increases and cuts are usually factored in over a period
of many years so the Democrats will maximize their PR by pointing to the several years of spending
cuts while hiding the budgetary "out year" spending. It's not a new trick, but it's still
dishonest no matter which party does it.
Frances
Fox Piven's Violent Agenda. A leading light of the Democratic Socialists of America claims
she is not a socialist and, after urging the unemployed to emulate the Greek rioters, claims she is not
inciting violence.
When Incivility Is OK:
Does the civil political discourse that the left is demanding include Democrats likening Republicans to Nazis?
There's a good chance the country will get a close look this week at hypocrisy in action.
The 'Business' of
Government. Government is not and never will be a business — although we would
certainly benefit from having it run like one. Most politicians are not and never will be businesspeople.
Yet neither of those things has ever stopped American politicians from conflating government with business
or presenting themselves as management.
No
Apology Here: Congressman Cohen Defends Nazi Comment. ABC News Jonathan Karl reports: Congressman
Steve Cohen, D-TN, says he has no intention of apologizing for comparing Republican rhetoric with Nazi propaganda.
"I didn't say anything that deserves an apology or requires an apology," Cohen told ABC News. "I would never
refer to Republican colleagues in an untoward way, I was talking about political propaganda."
So much for civility.
Come back and see me in five years when, unless they are stopped, there won't be any private insurance
companies. Driving companies out of the market by making it impossible to make money offering insurance
to consumers is a feature, not a bug of this monstrosity.
Give Me Liberty or Give
Me Health. In the December 15 issue of America's most prestigious medical pubication, The Journal
of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Eric Friedman and Eli Adashi write, "In passing The Affordable Care Act,
the United States took a giant, if partial, step toward joining nations wherein the right to health constitutes
an inalienable moral and legal right." Notice how the authors replace the term health care with just the
term health. As a medical doctor, I strongly disagree that health is or should be a human right.
Harry Reid:
'The American people love government'. Congress has generated its lowest approval rating in decades.
President Barack Obama is treading the 50 percent line with his approval ratings. Yet whether the American
people know it or not, they love their government — or so says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Speaker Pelosi
Leaves With a Whopper. At her final press conference as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said,
"Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go." The numbers
tell a different story. When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the
national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. The last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi's Speakership
on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858,529,371,601.09 — a roughly $5.2 trillion
increase in just four years.
Playing the Violence Card.
Our lefty friends have just come off a pretty a good century playing the blame game on conservatives for
"violence." Whether it was corporate goons whacking union organizers at the Battle of the Overpass or
racist Southern cops turning the fire hoses on civil-rights marchers or Chicago cops attacking the "kids" in
1968, you knew who the good guys were. Somehow the story of union thugs attacking Tea Party folks, or
Reverend Al Sharpton inciting anti-Korean riots, or anti-WTO anarchists vandalizing downtown Seattle didn't
have quite the same resonance with the American people. So our lefty friends play the right-wing
violence card every chance they get.
The Century-Old
Gravestone With Current Appeal (To Some). I don't know if the Democrats are genuinely sincere
about their position or just plain dumb, but the idea that this country needs to extend unemployment benefits
for those who've been getting checks for nearly two years has no merit at all. ... [T]he Democrats insist that
extending the unemployment benefits somehow will stimulate the economy. They are either brain dead or
malicious.
Save Us From the Intellectuals.
Extending Bush tax cuts for those making $250,000 or more would not be a giveaway. We're not talking
about the government's money, but money earned by individuals. Only leftists believe that all income is
the property of the state and that the amount remaining after income taxes is a gift from the government to
the individual. Moreover, the tax rates we're discussing have been in place since 2003. To extend
those rates would not be a cut. To fail to extend them would constitute a tax increase. I suppose
"intelligence" doesn't require the honest use of terminology.
Tax Cuts Clearly Explained.
[Scroll down] As usual, this is not about anything the Democrats say it is about. If they are
worried about the deficit, why did they add to the deficit to get this deal? Republicans would
have compromised by simply extending the current rates for two years instead of permanently. Obama saw
that bet and raised unemployment insurance, earned income tax credit, American opportunity tax credit, child
tax credit, payroll tax, and investment incentives. Congressional Democrats saw that bet and raised it
ethanol and alternative fuels subsidies. This is all about the Democrats rewarding their interest groups
and blaming the certain deficit on Republicans.
The radical
art of deliberate offense. In "Rules for Radicals," Saul Alinsky advises leftist organizers to
antagonize opponents. "The real action is in the enemy's reaction," he writes in his 1971 classic strategy
manual. "The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength." The latest
Alinsky-like assault involves a perennial tactic: putting sacrilegious or indecent imagery on display at
taxpayer expense and then screaming "censorship" when people predictably object.
Dems
pull another dirty election fraud scheme out of the hamper. Just when you think the Dems have
thought of it all, another corrupt attempt at scamming the election process enters their heads. This time
it involved PA US House #8, Bucks County, just north of Philadelphia. The race between Dem incumbent Patrick
Murphy and his GOP contender Mike Fitzpatrick. When the Dems were fearing a loss of this seat they cooked up
an elaborate scheme in an attempt to grab more Dem votes, their prey this time: absentee voters. The
scheme entailed a letter from the fictitious "Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office" they conjured up, warning
people "your vote may be in jeopardy if you don't return the enclosed application by Oct. 20." Only one
little problem. The enclosed return envelope was directed to a Dem P.O. Box in Bristol, PA, not
the county Board of Elections office.
School
Employee Sends Out Anti-Tea Party E-Mail. An Florida school official is taking heat for sending
an e-mail calling Tea Partiers "dangerous, radical hate mongers" who want to take the nation back to the days
of the Ku Klux Klan. "These people hate Blacks," the e-mail says. "They hate Latinos. They
hate Gays. They hate Muslims and have made many anti-Semitic statements."
The
Great Democrat Pre-Election Charade. Nothing is more laughable than Democrats campaigning on
platforms of "fiscal responsibility" and "reining in spending."
Debt Has Increased
$5 Trillion Since Speaker Pelosi Vowed, 'No New Deficit Spending'. When Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
gave her inaugural address as speaker of the House in 2007, she vowed there would be "no new deficit spending."
Since that day, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
Typical Democrat wants to re-write history. Dem
wants House to 'disavow' Clinton impeachment. On the day after Republicans reclaimed control of
Congress, a Democratic lawmaker said he will introduce a measure that would "disavow" the impeachment of
former President Clinton. Rep. Chaka Fattah (Pa.) said that the resolution is necessary so that
Democrats and Republicans can work together in a bipartisan fashion.
Dems
target conservative speech. Attacks by the White House against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
aren't about "disclosure." They're about disarmament. While posing as campaign finance champions,
the ultimate goal of the Democratic offensive is to intimidate conservative donors, chill political free
speech and drain Republican coffers.
Constructing
the Buzzword 'Extreme': Alinsky Rules 11 & 13. If you are paying attention to the politics surrounding
the midterm elections — and, for the good of the country, you should be — then you have,
no doubt, heard almost everyone from the Left side of the aisle using the word "extreme" where the Tea Party
is concerned. To a lesser extent they use it to describe the Conservative movement as a whole but without
doubt, it is the descriptor of choice when anyone of the Liberal or Progressive persuasion talks about the Tea
Party. This tactic comes straight from the Progressive playbook.
'Rally
to Restore Sanity' was hilarious and heartbreaking. Both Stewart and Colbert maintained that the
event was apolitical, as did Huffington Post founder Ariana Huffington, who leased 200 buses from Manhattan
to bring in supporters. "It doesn't make any sense to be agnostic about sanity," Huffington told USA Today.
"The rally is not political. It's not partisan." It would require some mental acrobatics to ignore
the anti-Bush, anti-Beck, anti-conservative mood that was on display via political buttons, stickers, and of course,
the comedic signage. The whole thing reeked of the 60's, updated to reflect today's modern hipsters.
Behind
the Meltdown of the Climate-Change Bill. [Scroll down] "It wasn't a surprise to us that
various industries were willing to sell out," explained Matt Dempsey, spokesman for climate change contrarian
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. Industry biggies got in on the negotiations and "they were poised to make
money." No worries. If the bill means higher fees, he added, "They can pass it on to consumers."
Shell, BP and ConocoPhillips agreed not to refer to the measure as a "carbon tax." The senators decided to
call a proposed fee on gasoline "a fee on polluters." Anything but a "gas tax."
The Democrats Will
Steal the Election if We Let Them. The longstanding Democrat tactic of stealing elections
threatens a reappearance on November 2. It would be foolish to pretend otherwise and rely on the
voters' voice to be heard merely because the public has turned on the Democrats. ... It will serve us well
to take a close look at the Democrat record in this matter, consider what they may be up to regarding this
election, and, the most serious question of all, ask why the GOP lets them get away with it. Democrats
and election-stealing by any means necessary go back a long way.
The
Green Agenda. In keeping with President Obama's promise to slow the rise of the oceans and heal
the planet, the Energy Department has set new efficiency standards for 26 appliances and household products.
The list ranges from microwaves, to washing machines and dryers, to residential water heaters and dishwashers.
The department reportedly claims the new standards will save consumers from $250 billion to $300 billion
on their energy costs through 2030. But that's what Democrats always say about their green schemes:
"We're doing this to clean up the Earth, and we're going to save you money while we do it." Don't
believe it.
Dems
cash-poor tale of woe ignores $250 million coming from unions. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi this week told the Huffington Post that Democrats were being outspent eight to one, in an article
that said liberal groups were set to spend a mere $7 million, in comparison to $200 million from
conservative groups. But unions and liberal groups have said for months that they are spending what
amounts to more than $200 million in this election cycle, and an updated count — including a
verification with major labor groups that their commitments still stand — shows that amount to
be more than $250 million now.
The Left's Terror Folly.
The left-wing solution to the problem of Islamic extremism — as championed by the foreign policy of various
European countries and, more recently, the Obama administration — is to make nice with the Islamic
world as a whole, apologize and distance ourselves from our shameful, imperialistic policies of the past,
and give into as many radical demands as the electorate can bear. As with all left-wing narratives,
facts do not support the assertions made.
Lousy
Records Of Incumbents Go Unexplored. Some of the longest-serving members of Congress, whose
party has overwhelming majorities in both houses, are having far closer election races than they are used
to. ... Despite their long records, they seem to want to talk about everything except their records.
They could tell us why they voted for ObamaCare and huge stimulus bills, without time enough to read them.
Instead, they've come up with enough red herrings to stock an aquarium.
As
the Election Approaches, Do Not Trust the MSM. I am ashamed to admit that there is one thing the
contemporary mainstream media does well. Having spent years studying politics, history, and language, I
find it amazing that media is able to convince people to believe conflicting narratives. The creation
and perpetuation of these contradictory beliefs cannot be possible without a media structure, as well as an
educational structure, that discourages, and too often scorns, analytical thinking.
Take the Fight to the
Democratic Party. What is the first, and really only, line of attack for the Democratic Party in
political races? Attack and destroy the Republican, the conservative, or even the "deviationist" Democrat.
Christine O'Donnell is a nut. Sarah Palin is a hypocrite. Sharron Angle is a dope. George W.
Bush is to blame for everything Obama does. Rush Limbaugh, rather than the Republican Party, is the enemy
to Democrats — even though Rush is not a politician and has often crossed swords with official
Republican policy. The level of pure venom spewed by Democrats and their disciples is simply dumbfounding.
'Calculated
greed' at heart of Bell criminal case, D.A. says. Eight current and former Bell city leaders were
arrested Tuesday [9/21/2010] on charges of misappropriating more than $5.5 million from the small,
working-class community as prosecutors accused them of treating the city's money as their personal piggy bank.
This Bell Is the Chime of Freedom.
The saying goes, you get what you pay for. To the working class citizens of Bell city, California, their
hard-earned cash got them a sleazy, overpaid and corrupt government run by Democrats. The government
officials got rich. Today [9/21/2010], thankfully, eight of them — every single one a
Democrat — also got arrested.
Evil Democrat Paradigms.
Here are two paradigms which evil, divisive Democrats have shamefully promoted and exploited for years:
one, white men are burning the midnight oil thinking of ways to keep blacks down; and two, all rich white
people are selfish, evil, and deserving of punishment. No Democrat president has sold the "you have too
little because the rich have too much" message better than Barack Obama, which led to angry protesters
picketing the homes of corporate executives. Democrats are masters at creating a hated "bad guy"
to further their agenda.
Lies and the lying
Democrats who tell them. Everything that's been said about the Tea Parties by the Establishment
media and partisan machine has been fabrications from the very beginning, often contradictory and transparently
false ones. All of the shrill denouncements, fabricated smears, and contradictory narratives say a lot more
about those making the accusations than about the Tea Party — that the accusers are scared witless.
Huffington Post's Dirty
Disinformation. As a rule of thumb, one should always approach a mainstream or left-wing media
story involving the environment with a healthy sense of skepticism. A seemingly innocuous slide show
entitled "9 of the Most Polluted Places in the World" that appeared at the Huffington Post on Tuesday [8/31/2010]
provides a lesson in how environmental disinformation is disseminated and thus becomes part of the liberal
narrative.
Livable communities is a socialist trap!
Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) has authored a bill S.1619 titled the "Livable Communities Act." It is one
of the most dangerous bills to ever threaten our liberty. Worse even than the Obamacare scheme.
S.1619 creates a new permanent federal office: The Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities" for
the enforcement of this bill the "Development Czar" if you will. Sen. Dodd is lying when he says S.1619
is purely voluntary.
The New Moral
Equivalence. There was a time when liberalism was identified with anti-Communism. But the
Vietnam War led liberals into the arms of the Left, which had been morally confused about Communism since its
inception and had become essentially pacifist following the carnage of World War I. After the
Vietnam War, even liberals who continued to describe Communism as evil were labeled "right-wingers" and
"Cold Warriors." And the United States, with its moral flaws, was often likened to the Soviet Union.
Crying
Bigotry: Last Refuge Of The Liberal. Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed.
Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved
so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the 40-year liberal
ascendancy that James Carville predicted into a full retreat.
For
Liberals, Deception Is an Important Tactic. Jonathan Strong of The Daily Caller notes an interesting
and instructive conversation that was held publicly between lefty blogger Matthew Yglesias and National Review's
Mark Hemingway. During their exchange on Twitter, lefty Yglesias claimed that lying is a legitimate tactic
for "advocates" to use to win the policy argument, thereby admitting that liberals think it is OK to lie in order
to get their policies in place.
Because of a scheme to put fake Tea Party candidates on the ballot... Dem official in Michigan forced to resign. In Michigan,
a group claiming to be the "Tea Party" has put 23 candidates on the ballot around the state, despite not
having any known connections to established conservative or tea party groups. It was suspected that this
was part of a plot by Democratic operatives to split the Republican vote in November. Now a Democratic
party official is being forced to resign for his role in the scheme, and may even have engaged in illegal
activity.
Judge
overturned Prop. 8 while claiming he wasn't changing anything. Judge Vaughn R. Walker's
opinion purporting to strike down California's Proposition 8 ballot initiative banning gay marriage is
a screaming advertisement against the appointment and confirmation of renegade judicial activists like Elena
Kagan. The labyrinth of twisted reasoning Walker constructs in his opinion is a testament to the
depth of deceit that inhabits the modern left's thought processes.
Requiem for a Heavyweight.
The Democratic march to the majority in both houses was aided through the slander of two congressmen and one
senator: Congressmen Mark Foley (falsely accused but cleared of having engaged in pedophilia with House
pages), Congressman Tom Delay (indicted by Texas Prosecutor Ronnie Earle but not yet tried for what appears to
be a phony baloney charge), and Ted Stevens, Senator of Alaska (who contrary to longstanding Department of
Justice practice was prosecuted just before an election and whose subsequent conviction was overturned for
egregious prosecutorial misconduct).
Department of Injustice.
Something is very rotten at the U.S. Department of Justice. No other reasonable conclusion can be drawn from an
independent report on the 2008 prosecution of then-Senator Ted Stevens. ... Most damaging to Justice's credibility is that,
three years after Judge Sullivan set aside the guilty verdicts against Stevens, the department still hasn't disciplined the
men and women involved. Nor has it instituted harsher penalties for future abuses.
Update regarding Ted Stevens: Department of Injustice.
Something is very rotten at the U.S. Department of Justice. No other reasonable conclusion can be drawn from an

About the Left's New Palin-Confronting 'Teacher,'
Turns Out She Lied. Earlier today the left sent up cheers for an Alaska "teacher" that is seen on
video attacking Governor Palin as "the worst Governor ever" as the sign she was putting up read. When
Gov. Palin interacted with her, the woman told Palin she was a "teacher." Looks like the woman, Kathleen
Gustafson, is a liar. As we find on GatewayPundit, she isn't a teacher but a theater tech. Even
more absurdly, the woman belongs to a band that features drag queens as its attraction!
The desperation of Stephanie
Herseth Sandlin. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin is South Dakota's lone member of the House
of Representatives. She is a Democrat and a reliable member of Nancy Pelosi's team in Congress.
Now that it's time for her to face the voters back home, however, Herseth Sandlin is selling herself as an
independent. She must think the citizens of South Dakota are first-class rubes.
Dems
in denial. The great Democratic revolution of 2008 is entering its pitiful stage. If
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a guillotine, Robert Gibbs' head would be rolling around in a basket.
His offense? Uttering perhaps the most unassailably accurate statement of his tenure as White House
press secretary: that there is "no doubt" Republicans might take back the House. Theories abound
for why Gibbs would say such a flatly true thing. The simplest is that Gibbs was asked whether the
House is in play on "Meet the Press" and in the flush of the moment slipped up with an honest answer.
Far-left Think Progress Fabricates Examples of Tea Party Racism for
Bogus Video. Liberal activists are so desperate to paint the Tea Party as racist that some,
apparently, are willing to fabricate evidence and fallaciously draw unsupported conclusions to support
their point. Lee Fang, a writer for the far-left blog Think Progress, recently posted a video
purporting to show racism at Tea Parties. But the video was a total fraud.
Kerry
and his energy companies. For all you curious as to why Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is so inspired
to cut a deal on energy reform, wonder no longer. Apparently, the senior senator from Massachusetts is
positioned to hit the jackpot if a subsidy-laden energy "reform" bill passes. In some years, Kerry
makes more money in dividends and capital gains from these holdings than he does as a senator.
Efforts to 'Deem' a Budget are a 'Fraud'.
[Scroll down] House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said America didn't accept "deeming" the
passage of Obamacare and they won't accept it for a budget. "You all remember when the Democrats
back in March were going deem the health care bill passed and Americans were outraged at the idea," Boehner
said. "Well, here we are today, where the Democrats are scheming to deem a budget in place.
It's not a budget: all it is is a set of numbers so Democrats can continue their out-of-control
spending spree here in Washington."
House Democrats 'Deem' Faux $1.1 Trillion
Budget 'as Passed' . Last night [7/1/2010], as part of a procedural vote on the emergency
war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that "deemed as passed" a non-existent $1.12 trillion
budget. The execution of the "deeming" document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal
Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget. The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no
Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux
budget resolution passed.
A
Cynical Budget Maneuver. In January, they were co-sponsors of the legislation to create a
National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, whose recommendations for closing the budget gap
would be guaranteed an up or down vote in Congress. The commission legislation was defeated when seven
Republican senators who had initially co-sponsored it defected on the roll call. At that point,
President Obama stepped in and rescued the idea, creating the commission by executive order. Now, in a
stunning reversal, the Democrats are using the existence of the commission to justify their abandonment of
their long-term budget responsibilities.
Democrats
deeming themselves defeated come November. On the first day of July, the House of
Representatives passed a "budget enforcement resolution" that "deemed as passed" a $1.12 trillion budget.
Thirty-eight House Democrats voted no, perhaps because they sense in this year of the Tea Party Movement it
isn't good politics to engage in such a sham. But pass it did.
Dems' decision to forgo budget means no more 51-vote Senate majorities.
Congressional Democrats have correctly concluded that not passing an official budget for next fiscal year won't
be much of a trouble for them ... but they may not have anticipated another consequence of this strategy:
without an official budget, Senate Democrats cannot use the parliamentary trick of "reconciliation" to evade
Republican attempts to filibuster bills. Long story short, this means that reconciliation, more famously
known as the method used to shove President Obama's healthcare bill through the Senate, cannot be used
in 2011 no matter which party controls the chamber.
The
Last Refuge Of The Incompetent. With their own economic policies in complete disarray, Democrats
have turned to a tried-and-true tactic: Blame the opposition for your failure.
When Lame Ducks
Bite. This year, for the first time since modern budgeting began, the Democrat-controlled House
of Representatives has simply refused to pass a budget resolution. Presumably, the failure even to take
up a budget would free plenty of time for the Congress to complete the rest of its work. But
remarkably — and disturbingly — plans are already in the offing to postpone
important legislative business until after the November elections.
Obama
and Dems heading for electoral disaster. All around, there are Democrats telling us their prospects
for November are looking up. Things aren't as bad as Republicans say! Health care is becoming more
popular! The country wants financial reform! People still like Barack Obama! Isn't Joe
Barton awful! They're fooling themselves. The basic indicators of voters' intentions —
their general mood and attitude toward the policies of Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid — are clear
and solid.
A Bad Lie, At Best.
[Scroll down] By waiting until December, Hoyer has conveniently scheduled the budget to be passed after
the November elections, which are looking worse and worse for his fellow Democrats. That allows Democrats
to tout their fiscal responsibility while avoiding any hard votes on the matter. Grover Norquist, head
of Americans for Tax Reform, called it "bizzarely dishonest." "It makes it appear that the whole point
of the deficit commission from day one was to hide from what Congress is really doing, and let Congressmen
run in the November election claiming to be for some imaginary budget restraint that they're not actually
ready to vote for," said Norquist.
Harry
Reid's son leaves last name out of first campaign ad. Nevada gubernatorial candidate Rory Reid
(D) is on the air with his first campaign ad and it's missing one thing: his last name. Reid, the son of
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), doesn't say his name at any point during the ad, but it prominently
features his campaign logo, "Rory 2010."
Harry Reid's son avoids surname
in governor bid. The Democratic nominee in the Nevada governor's race is the son of one of the
most powerful politicians in America, but you wouldn't know it by his campaign.
If
You Can't Budget, You Can't Govern. "If you can't budget, you can't govern," Rep. John Spratt
Jr., D-S.C., proclaimed in 2006 when the House GOP leadership chose to dispense with passing a budget
resolution. Now that the Dems run the House, Spratt is chairman of its Budget Committee and the
April 15 deadline for passing a budget resolution is a niggling detail, easily ignored. House
Democrats have decided to not even try to pass a budget resolution before this fiscal year expires on
Sept. 30 — and may well delay passage until after the November elections.
Fixing What Ain't Broke,
Hiding What Is. The financial-regulatory reform bill currently under consideration in Congress
highlights a recurrent theme among the left. Whenever liberals want to pass legislation intended to solve
a particular problem that increases the size and scope of the federal government, they revise history and
create imaginary villains which their bill is intended to combat. They never admit that it is they and
their previous polices who are at fault.
Homo Politicus. Al Gore has a
huge carbon footprint... and people are shocked? His fairy tale of global warming is meant just to help him get
money, honor, and attention — and nothing else. Barack Obama is a closet socialist who does not help his
impoverished family. Why? He no more believes in redistributing wealth than a snake oil salesman in
Dodge City believed that his tonic cured gout. Feminists flack for Clinton's savage treatment of women and
ignore Moslem crimes toward women. Leftist instructors leave their students profoundly ignorant, instead of
truly educated. Leftist pseudo-ideology is a convenient fraud used by those who would be our masters.
Fictitious anecdotes rarely fool anybody. What's the
Good Word, Nancy d'Alesandro Pelosi? The Big Question For Nancy Pelosi has nothing to do with
unemployment or taxes or even the nearing financial collapse of her home state and the municipalities she
represents. No sir (and madam), the question often asked of our Speaker is, "What's your favorite
word?"
The Enemies Within.
It was not long ago that Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano unveiled a national safety report
singling out peaceful pro-life protesters as potential terrorists. Yet hereto, the only person officially
charged and subsequently arrested for threatening to kill a public official in connection with the Obama health
care debate happens to be a loyal DNC donor. You may also recall that on the heels of ramming ObamaCare
through Congress, several Democrats projected that right-wing extremists would likely retaliate with violence.
Yet virtually every credible reported incident of politically motivated vandalism since then has been perpetrated
mostly against conservative politicians who vigorously opposed the measure.
Obama Revises History.
[Scroll down] But the relationship between regulators and the industry they regulate is always "cozy."
This is true for at least two reasons. First, businessmen know far more about their businesses than
regulators do. Regulators routinely defer to the superior knowledge and expertise of the regulated.
Second, most regulators are young people who are planning a career in the regulated industry. A
typical career path will begin with law school graduation, followed by a stint in a federal agency,
followed by a highly-paid job with one of the formerly-regulated companies ... This is not exactly
a secret.
Blumenthal and the Liars'
Party. [Scroll down slowly] There is a pattern to this misbehavior. Blumenthal, Edwards, Clinton,
and Kerry lied about their personal lives, hiding sins or inventing heroism. Each man was very specific in his
false statements. All four of these men were lawyers, and three out of four were married to lawyers. Two
of the four — Clinton and Blumenthal — were chosen as Attorney General for their home states, a
position that should be held by scrupulously honest men.
Blumenthal's
poll numbers tumble after Vietnam lies surface. Following bombshell revelations that he claimed
he served in Vietnam when he hadn't, Connecticut Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal's once-robust lead in the
polls has hit record lows. ... He claimed he didn't mean to lie and that he'd merely misspoken when he said
he served "in Vietnam."
For Democrats, Hits Keep on Coming.
Senate Democrats just can't seem to catch a break. The revelation Monday [5/17/2010] that Democratic
Sen. Christopher J. Dodd's would-be successor — Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal —
made misleading statements about his military service added one more headache to Democrats still reeling from
unexpected retirements, unplanned and contentious primaries, and other disappointments on the 2010 campaign trail.
Media Also 'Misspoke' On Blumenthal's
War Record. Tuesday [5/18/2010] was clearly a day of deep embarrassment for Connecticut Attorney
General Richard Blumenthal, who was fighting for his political career after The New York Times raised questions
about statements he made distorting the extent of his military service.
Another Phony
Democrat War Veteran. No one is more abhorrent to us veterans than the jerk who never served
but dons a uniform, adorns it with badges and patches, usually of some special operations organization like
Army Special Forces, Rangers or Navy SEALS, and awards himself multiple medals for valor. Of course,
some of these phonies did serve but in some much less glorious capacity than that in which they depict
themselves. The latter situation seems to be the case for Connecticut Democrat Attorney General,
Richard Blumenthal who has been exposed as a phony Vietnam vet by no less than the NY Times.
Lies And Blumen' Lies.
Can someone who misrepresents his military record be elected to the U.S. Senate? Connecticut's Democratic
attorney general, Richard Blumenthal, has little enough shame to try and find out. Falsely claiming to have
served in Vietnam should be a death sentence for any politician of any party or philosophy, from town clerk
on up.
Liar pol's polls get
Viet-conked. Embattled Connecticut US Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal's double-digit lead in
the polls plummeted yesterday — as another instance of him falsely claiming he had served in Vietnam
surfaced. Democrat Blumenthal — who had easily been the front-runner to replace retiring Sen.
Chris Dodd — has dropped to a 3-percentage-point lead over Republican challenger Linda McMahon,
according to a Rasmussen Reports poll taken on Tuesday [5/18/2010].
The
Taranto Principle Vindicated Again. The exposure of Connecticut Attorney General Richard
Blumenthal as a hoaxster boasting of a nonexistent record of service in the Vietnam War is a splendid
example of what is known as the Taranto Principle. Someday the Taranto Principle will be taught
in all the journalism schools, assuming one or two survive the present detumescence of journalism.
Richard
Blumenthal's rolling blunder. Connecticut's Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
is taking heavy fire for a series of statements he made over several years in which he either explicitly
or implicitly claimed to be a Vietnam veteran, when in fact he is not.
New York
Times Hits Blumenthal Again. To their credit, the Times isn't backing off on the
Blumenthal/Vietnam story. They've found yet another instance of the Connecticut Attorney General
misstating his service record.
Americans are Drowning in Our Government's Lies.
It's not just the lies about climate change. It's not just the lies about renewable, wind and solar, energy.
It's not just the lies about so-called endangered species. It's not just that the Obama administration
refuses to name Islam as the source of the terrorist attacks on America. ... It is a combination of these and
other factors that are based on a contagion of lies told to Americans by their own government.
How ignorant would you have to be to believe this? Speaker
Nancy Pelosi: Democrats reduced taxes to historic low. Congressional Democats are responsible
for the lowest U.S. tax bills in a half-century, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday. Pelosi was
responding to a USA Today report that said Americans' tax bills in 2009 were at their lowest point since the
Truman presidency.
Seven
reasons not to vote for Democrats. In a speech earlier this week, Democratic National Committee Chairman
Tim Kaine gave a preview of the Democrats' 2010 national election message. "We have more accomplishments to run
on than any party in a long time," Kaine said. Kaine then proceeded to lay out seven Democratic talking points so
transparently unconvincing, I began to wonder if he's not a Republican double agent.
The Times Square surprise.
[Scroll down] Finally, when President Reagan faced down the Soviets with a vast arms buildup and a resolute,
albeit flexible, foreign policy, his liberal critics warned that we faced nuclear world war. Of a sudden,
the Soviet Union collapsed. And what was the liberals' response? Well, it was one of history's
surprises. The liberals announced that the Soviet Union had been a paper tiger all along. It had
been destined to collapse from day one.
Son of Amnesty. Everyone with a brain wave
knows the progressive drill: illegal immigrants aren't illegal, they're "undocumented." They do the work
"Americans won't do." Because they've lived here illegally for x number of years, they are now entitled to
live here. We may as well legalize them, because we can't possibly deport twelve million people. Enforcing
border security is akin to "re-building the Berlin Wall" on our southern borders. And last, but not least, my
personal favorite regarding an integrally related issue: requiring picture ID for voting is "unfair."
Let's whack these odious notions one by one.
Bertha Lewis' Lunacy.
[Scroll down] Every time you read or hear of some liberal mentioning Tea Party hatred or Tea Party
violence, think "liar". None of it is or ever has been true. The hatred and the violence is and
always has been on the left. Mao was a liberal. Stalin was a liberal. Hitler was a liberal.
Castro was a liberal. Pol Pot was a liberal, and the list goes on. It wasn't a Republican President
who dropped the atomic bomb, it was a Democrat. In Arizona it wasn't Tea Party supporters who were throwing
bricks, rocks and bottles at the police or attempting to murder a couple of people who had the misfortune to
wear pale skin, it was Obama supporters.
An
Incurious Media or a Four-Leaf-Clover President. [Scroll down] Remember when we were supposedly in
Iraq to steal oil? We've certainly been there long enough to drain that nation dry. Only one
problem — we didn't do it. Or maybe it was the oil company conspiracy to lower gas prices and fix the
election. CNN's Jack Cafferty was just one of many media voices to say "if you were a real cynic, you could
also wonder if the oil companies might not be pulling the price of gas down to help the Republicans get re-elected
in the midterm elections a couple of months away." That conspiracy was also proven bogus when gas prices didn't
plummet until after the 2008 elections.
Can't We All Just Get Along?
Make no mistake about it, this is a dishonest age. That our daily lies are purportedly advanced in the
cause of the common good, nevertheless do not make them any less lies. Beware of sudden and apparently
reasonable "calls for civility." That pathetic mantra is usually voiced by a liberal administration and
its supporters when criticism mounts that they are taking the country too far to the Left — like
the Clinton implosion in 1993 or Obama today.
An Age of Untruth.
Almost everything said in association with "illegal immigration" is false. No, the now stalled fence is
not a futile symbol of apartheid; in places where it is finished, it has discouraged illegal entry and reminded
us that all counties have rights of autonomy. Do not believe that "illegal alien" is necessarily a
hurtful or inexact term. Everyone who crosses the border without proper authorization is both doing
something "illegal" (not a mere "infraction"), and is an alien (not a U.S. citizen; "alien" = "not of this
place".)
Bill
Clinton, Still Smearing Conservatives. Throughout all those years of ultra-left civil disruption,
there was complete silence from Clinton. So hypocritical. So ... Clinton. The most maddening
thing about this repeated phenomenon is that the Clinton-adoring media helpfully paint these speeches as the
plea of a unifier, a humanitarian voice for sanity and civility.
The Equal Pay Day Reality
Check. Today is Equal Pay Day. Feminist groups and political leaders have set aside this day
to protest the fact that women's wages are, on average, 78 percent of men's wages. "This date symbolizes
how far into 2010 women must work to earn what men earned in 2009," says the National Committee on Pay Equity.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) has enlisted supporters to wear red "to represent the way the
pay gap puts women 'in the red.'" ... Excuse me for interrupting, but this holiday has no basis in reality.
Applying
Clinton's logic, there's no such thing as liberty. For a stumbling, disingenuous, self-contradicting
commentary, you couldn't do much better than a Bill Clinton op-ed piece in The New York Times that on the one
hand states the obvious while coming very close to saying people fearful of big government ought to shut up,
only they shouldn't.
Obama and
the New Civility. During the Bush years a dangerously heated rhetoric became commonplace.
Now, lo! a new age has dawned.
Fixing the Financial
Crisis: Fire, Aim, Ready. Late-night economist David Letterman summarized the situation:
"Republicans in power previously for eight years deregulated banks, and that was a contributory factor."
Key words: Republican, deregulated. That might be a plausible explanation... if Republicans had
deregulated anything. Perhaps Mr. Letterman mixed up Republicans with Democrats. Glass-Steagall's
partial repeal was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1999 and passed by the Senate with a vote of
90-8, including the votes of Senators Biden, Kerry, Edwards, Schumer, and Dodd.
Racism and Obamacare.
Democrats have passed government health care with no Republican votes. Their leadership threatened and
bribed their own members to eek out a majority. They resorted to an arcane procedure that maybe
100 people in the whole country can explain in order to pass a massive bill that polls show a majority
of Americans don't want. The federal government, for the first time ever, will force every American
to buy, with a big chunk of their income, a product designed by government bureaucrats, with an army of IRS
agents snooping on each of us to make sure we did it. And how are many liberals explaining why so many
Americans are ticked off? It's because our president is black. It's about racism.
Obama's Poll Numbers Down, Imaginary Racism Up.
[Scroll down] Most sickeningly, the mainstream media continue to spread the despicable lie that someone called
civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis the "N-word" 15 times during the anti-ObamaCare rally in Washington.
Fifteen times! That turned out to be another lie. About a week after the protest, Andrew Breitbart
offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who could produce a video of Lewis being called the N-word even once —
forget 15 times. (That's the most we can afford. Hey, who do we look like over here,
George Soros?)
The Real
Anti-Americans. Kristallnacht, "Crystal Night," the "Night of Broken Glass," was the worst
pogrom in Germany since the Middle Ages. Synagogues were torched and hundreds of businesses smashed.
Shattered glass covered the streets. Women were assaulted and men beaten and murdered. After that
terrible night, half the Jews remaining in Germany fled. To compare a brick tossed through the window of a
congressional office and two shouted slurs to Kristallnacht suggests a growing paranoia on the left about the
populist right.
The Grand Illusions of
America's Liberals. America's liberals are consumed with guilt. If not soon purged from
our society, their guilt will kill us all. Bent on rewriting history, or else entirely ignorant of it,
they deny that the United States has brought more freedom and well-being to more people most of the time than
any other nation in history. They also accuse our country of racism and imperialism.
Tea Parties targeted
by the Dems' Alinsky Attack Machine. [Scroll down] It is clear that in terms of racial politics
the Alinsky Attack Machine tactic is to accuse the conservative / Republican leaning Tea Parties of the Democrats'
segregationist actions in the South during Jim Crow and the civil rights' marches.
Absolutely
Fabulists: Liberal Mythmaking. What has historically distinguished conservative (or what
used to be called "classical liberal") political thought from that of leftists is that conservatives remember
their mistakes and consequently can learn from them. Conservatism adapts its ideology to contrary
evidence; liberalism reinterprets contrary evidence to fit its ideology.
Don't rush to
judgeship for Liu. The hypocrisy of Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick J. Leahy knows no bounds.
The Vermont Democrat insists on expediting a hearing for the wildly leftist, fundamentally dishonest appellate
court nominee Goodwin Liu before committee members have received adequate access to Mr. Liu's records.
Throughout his career, Sen. Leahy has insisted on seeing — and sometimes leaking — records
that properly should remain private. Yet in this case, concerning records everybody agrees
should be public, the senator acts as if they are irrelevant.
(Tea) Party On. [This article
illustrates] what happens when the liberal worldview — so much of which is based on lies,
distortion and character assassination — isn't met with equal amounts of force and determination
to provide Americans with the truth. The failure to do so was the tragic flaw of the Bush
administration.
The
Democrats' Fake Hate Crime. On March 20th, something truly extraordinary happened. On
the eve of the health care vote, a group of black Democrat Congressmen (eschewing the private tunnels they
usually use to cross from their offices to the Capitol) chose to walk en masse through a crowd of
protesters, confident that the knuckledragging Tea Party goons they and their media pals have reviled
for a year now would respond with racial epithets. And then, when the crowd didn't, the black
Congressmen made it up anyway.
Cleaver changes
his 'I was spit on' story. It's too late to affect the narrative about the tea party protest a
couple of weeks ago, but indicative of the rank dishonesty involved in the smear.
Rep.
Carson: Tea Party Protesters Are 'One of the Largest Threats to our Internal Security'. As
our readers have already learned, Rep. Andre Carson gathered Capitol Hill reporters around him and told the
tale of racial slurs and menacing crowds on the verge of hurling rocks at the congressmen. Our first few
videos showed the congressmen coming out of the Cannon Office Building, walking down the steps and into
Independence Avenue from various angles. None of those videos revealed the racial hatred Rep. Carson
conveyed to reporters that day and none of the videos showed a mob rushing or in any way impeding the
congressmen.
Against
ObamaCare? You're a Fascist Racist Hater. Differences of opinion and ideology, passionately
held, drive the opposition against ObamaCare. Yet to shut down the effort to overturn ObamaCare's
unpopular assault on freedom and prosperity, the left resorts to a frequently employed tactic.
More Thoughts On Liberal Political
Violence. The Democrats have tried to change the subject away from their health care debacle
by claiming that conservatives are threatening violence against them. Their complaints are pathetic
where they are not out-and-out lies (e.g., Clyburn and Lewis), and they have taken a lot of well-deserved
criticism. It is liberals, not conservatives, who rely on ad hominem attacks, outrageous
allegations and violent imagery.
Welcome
to the Real Revolution, Alinsky Fans: It Ain't For Wimps Or Sissies. How far will Democrats
go to ensure that their revolution against American liberty succeeds? As for me, I put nothing past them
now. Will Collier has just explained in exacting detail the most probable explanation for how Nancy Pelosi
(along with Axelrod and Emanuel) could have staged their "confrontation" with Tea Partiers outside the capitol
on March 20. Claims that the N-word and spit were employed as weapons by Tea Partiers have yet to
be corroborated by a single witness or video recording.
Not exactly terrorists.
Despite numerous requests from Senate Republicans for more information, the Justice Department waited
until Friday [3/26/2010], just as Congress was leaving town for a recess, finally to provide support
for Mr. Holder's assertions. At one point, the department ridiculously claimed that federal
regulations precluded it from providing such a list. ... Rather than bolstering Mr. Holder's position,
the data dump showed that Republicans were right to look askance at him.
Caution: This article is replete with vulgarity. Violent
Liberal Hate Rhetoric: Fifteen Quotes. In an effort to distract people from the destructive,
illegitimate power-grab-of-a-bill masquerading as health care reform that the Democrats just passed over the
objections of the American people, liberal members of Congress have spent days over-hyping threats against
them. Of course, the sad reality is that EVERYONE who achieves any notoriety at all in this business
gets death threats, but it's only treated as noteworthy by the press when it happens to liberals.
Do Democrats commit hate crimes against black
Republicans? Given the Democratic Party's 150-year record of racist rhetoric and racial violence —
from the days of slavery until today — it is astonishing to see Democrats sanctimoniously playing the
race card. A display of unmitigated gall describes how Democrats are falsely comparing anti-ObamaCare
protesters to the anti-civil rights racists of the 1960's who were Democrats.
We Are Expected to
Believe. [Scroll down slowly] We are expected to believe that Obama's signing rendered
the bill benign. We are expected to believe three thousand pages of shalls and shants, musts and
mandates, have drifted away on the breeze and can no longer come between our doctors and us. We are
expected to believe that a half-trillion in new taxes and a half-trillion in Medicare cuts will suddenly go
unnoticed. We are expected to believe that Enron-style CBO accounting will be transfigured into wondrous
sums for our grandchildren to behold. We are expected to believe that our newly disciplined government
will never let this entitlement break the bank.
Coercive Charity
Destroys the Human Spirit. After the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Senate's health
care bill (without changes because they could not craft and pass a bill of their own), House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi proclaimed that the effort reflected American's founding declaration of "life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness." Nothing could be farther [sic] from the truth.
Dissembling, Death, and
Deficits. Democrats enacted the first step towards nationalized health care, where $500 billion
of Medicare cost savings are fiction but $400 billion of tax increases to finance new entitlements will be
very real — depriving both from reducing the national debt. Deliberately misstating and sidestepping
the devastating financial consequences of this fraudulent takeaway-giveaway, the Democrats were happy to construct
their own alternative reality rivaling the best, from Lewis Carroll to George Orwell.
Sunday's socialist
triumph. Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday launched the Democrats' argument for the health care
bill, claiming, "This is an American proposal that honors the traditions of our country." Does that
suggest that opposition is un-American? And what are the traditions that are American that this law
fulfills? The Democrats argue that the bill fulfills the "right" of all Americans to government-assured
health care services. The congressional Democrats claim many other things that a majority of the country
believes to be inconsistent with truth and reality.
Digging
the Hole Deeper: The greatest of all the many painful ironies in the health-care debate of
the past year may be that the Democrats' closing "argument" is to claim the mantle of fiscal responsibility.
Their leaders are doing their best to twist yesterday's [3/18/2010] CBO score of their reconciliation bill to suggest that
their plan will not only solve America's health-care financing problem but reduce the deficit too. It
will do neither, and will make both problems worse.
Pulling the Plug on the
"Living" Constitution. [Scroll down slowly] This "living" Constitution means the real one
is dead in practice, but it is not so dead in the minds of ordinary Americans that liberals would ever attempt
to hold a constitutional convention to package their enlightened new understandings into a fresh one. They
still have to proceed by deception, casting every new affront to the Constitution as a suddenly accurate
"constitutional" reading of it.
The Progressives' Perfect
Trojan Horse. Democrats say that their mission is to give all Americans health care. The
Democrats are lying. Signing ObamaCare into law against our will and the Constitution is tyranny and
step one of their hideous goal of having as many Americans as possible dependent on government, thus
controlling our lives and fulfilling Obama's promise to fundamentally transform America.
Was Coffingate
A Fundraising Stunt? I know a little something about coffins. And I know when I'm being
lied to. ... After a brutal 48 hours of press retractions about an incident regarding a coffin placed
near his house, [Missouri Secretary of State Robin] Carnahan is attempting to hustle money for intimidation
that did not occur.
Man
linked to arson at congressman's office was ex-campaign worker. A man questioned by police in
connection to an arson at one of Rep. Russ Carnahan's campaign offices used to work for his campaign, the
Missouri Democrat said Wednesday. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Thursday that Carnahan said a
man linked to the arson was fired just before the Aug. 17 incident in St. Louis.
A Little Social Engineering is Death.
Obama has lied continuously to America and he is doing so now. Nancy Pelosi laughed when she was asked if
politicians should be held to their word. Harry Reid has yet to tell the truth, and other than Robert Byrd,
it seems that the primary talking point for every Democrat in Washington today is lie, lie some more and keep on
lying until they believe it. The strategy isn't working.
Talking
Points vs. Reality: [Scroll down] I can say that I can afford to buy a Rolls Royce,
without going into debt, by using my inheritance from a rich uncle. But, in the real world, the question
would arise immediately whether I in fact have a rich uncle, not to mention whether this hypothetical rich
uncle would be likely to leave me enough money to buy a Rolls Royce. In politics, however, you can say
all sorts of things that have no relationship with reality. If you have a mainstream media that sees no
evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil — when it comes to Barack Obama — you can say
that you will pay for a vast expansion of government-provided insurance by taking money from the Medicare
budget and using other gimmicks.
Heads Liberals Win, Tails We Lose.
Liberals are the ones who knowingly lied in saying that "Bush lied; people died," that supply-side tax cuts are
"just for the rich" and that Bush left people on the rooftops in New Orleans after Katrina because they were
black. These weren't just harmless rhetorical barbs; they had and continue to have serious, substantively
damaging consequences.
An Orwellian
redefinition of the Constitution: The proponents of the most regressive idea of government
on the planet (Centralized control by a small group of elites who rule "for the people's own good") are
now relabeling themselves as "Today's Defender's of the Constitution."
Obama's
Proposal is the Illusion of 'Reform'. One job of presidents is to educate Americans about
crucial national problems. On health care, Barack Obama has failed. Almost everything you
think you know about health care is probably wrong or, at least, half wrong. Great simplicities and
distortions have been peddled in the name of achieving "universal health coverage."
The War on Truth: The
greatest danger to our wealth, our liberties, our values, and our safety today comes from the deconstruction of
truth. We live in a world driven by information. Almost all real wealth today is based upon information
and knowledge. Almost all real power today is based upon mass communication, education, and entertainment.
Even military power relies upon data and intelligence, not brute force.
5
Ways Liberals Misjudge the American People: [Scroll down slowly] Because the Left controls
the mainstream media, they can often get away with lies no conservative ever could. Put another way,
conservatives tend to be more honest because they have to be while liberals are used to having the mainstream
media cover up, ignore, and explain away their lies. The problem with that is that over time, the MSM
has become less powerful and the new media has filled the gap.
Not Buying the Democrats' Excuses.
Democrats have two excuses for what has gone so terribly wrong in the last year. The first is the "America is
ungovernable" meme. Well, it has been impossible to govern from the Left, certainly. ... The second excuse is
that this is all a communications problem — from the most eloquent politician (we were told) of our time who
had a sycophantic media at his feet for the better part of a year. Really, no one is buying this one.
The Farce
Otherwise Known as PAYGO. [Scroll down] But already, the Senate has issued itself a waiver
from the provisions on three of the four spending bills its has considered by declaring several bills to be emergency
spending, including a $15-billion jobs bill, a $10-billion measure for unemployment benefits and a $100-billion
package of tax extenders.
Pocket money for
politicians: [Scroll down] It's hardly surprising that irresponsible government stewardship
of public resources trickles down from Washington to the local level. Lawand Johnson, director of Louisiana's
St. John the Baptist Housing Authority — which is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development — racked up more than $2,000 in personal expenses on a government credit card. "I thought
it was my card," Ms. Johnson explained, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Gov's media guru quits
as more officials say Paterson should resign. Another staffer quit yesterday amid Gov. Paterson's
meltdown — Communications Director Peter Kauffmann, who said he couldn't take the lying anymore.
"As a former officer in the United States Navy, integrity and commitment to public service are values I take
seriously," said Kauffmann, who joined Paterson's administration almost a year ago.
What
do we do about Barbara Boxer? Politicians' reliance on scientists has perforce also increased
with the selection of those scientists all the more open to bias and distortion. As this occurs, it is
particularly incumbent on politicians to seek the judgment of scientists on all sides of an issue, not just
the side they want to believe or find expedient to believe. Few seem to do this. And Boxer is the
poster girl of those who do not. She goes on and on as she was, talking to the same people and spouting
the same conventional opinions as if they were fact.
When
Liberal 'Journalists' Attack, Real Americans Suffer. Andrew Breitbart's recent smackdown of Max
Blumenthal at CPAC (for his vicious smears against James O'Keefe) serves as a reminder to us all that when
Liberal "journalists" attack, they have one goal — and it isn't reporting the truth. It is to
win at any cost no matter what the damage is to the victim. It is called the politics of personal
destruction and it reflects the utter nihilism of Liberalism.
The Sham Summit:
Thursday's much-hyped health "summit" seemed mainly designed to show the president telling Republicans, "Those
are all legitimate points." Democrats admit it was a setup to pass their $2 trillion plan.
Not long before the president assembled Democrats and Republicans at the Garden Room of Blair House for a
health care powwow, Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., let it all hang out on the House floor, roaring that "every
single Republican I have ever met in my entire life is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry."
Pay-go gets
passed, then it gets bypassed. The ink is barely dry on the pay-as-you-go law, and Democrats
are seeking to bypass it to enact parts of their job-creation agenda.
Rewriting History
on Abortion. "There's absolutely nothing in anything that [Susan B. Anthony] ever said or did that
would indicate she was anti-abortion," Planned Parenthood founder Gloria Feldt. Absolutely nothing? A quick
Google search disproves that in a hurry.
Deception as a
Principle of Governance. Every economic indicator during Clinton's last year in office turned
decisively downward — the surplus, government revenues, and the markets included. Economic
projections made at the very top of an economic bubble are foolish, but the dot-com bubble had long since
popped, and everything was going south by the time Clinton left office. Consequently, the Democrats'
projections of surpluses years into the future at a time when all indices were falling are not just foolish,
but dishonest.
The Fallacy of
"Fairness": If there is ever a contest to pick which word has done the most damage to people's
thinking, and to actions to carry out that thinking, my nomination would be the word "fair." It is a word
thrown around by far more people than have ever bothered to even try to define it. This mushy vagueness
may be a big handicap in logic but it is a big advantage in politics.
Ignorance is strength and... Food Stamps Are Not Welfare.
With the help of the statist media, Big Government is making progress in its drive to corrode our culture to
the point that dependence on coercively funded handouts is both socially acceptable and ubiquitous.
How to Blame Bush: Lie.
Has this happened to you? You start reading an article written by a Democrat, wondering if it is just possible
that he has a legitimate point. But one or two paragraphs in, you find yourself so deep in outrageously
false premises that you wonder if you share the same planet. How do they manage to pack so many
falsehoods into so few words?
Paranoia
Strikes Deep in Obama's America. One of the greatest threats we're facing is this: There
are a lot of paranoid/delusional people running the show. Pelosi tars health care opponents as Nazis.
Charles Schumer calls average Americans "teabaggers." Obama insinuates that a white police sergeant is a
stupid racist. With each vicious utterance, Democrats foster a paranoid atmosphere. Branding
opponents as Nazis and racists is disgraceful, beyond the pale. It's also a dangerous practice, since
mass hysteria can prove deadly.
The Electorate
vs. Obama's Agenda. This being a democracy, don't the Democrats see that clinging to this agenda will march
them over a cliff? Don't they understand Massachusetts? Well, they understand it through a prism of two
cherished axioms: (1) The people are stupid and (2) Republicans are bad. Result? The dim, led by the
malicious, vote incorrectly.
Pelosi tells C-SPAN: 'There has never been a more open
process'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) defended Congress' work on a healthcare
bill Tuesday [01/05/2010] saying the process has displayed historic transparency, just as C-SPAN mounts an
effort to open the negotiations. ... "We will do what is necessary to pass the bill," Pelosi said.
In Other Words... Irritated at
the bumps on the road to the Democrats' Thousand-Year Reich, liberals are now claiming that Republican Sen.
Tom Coburn requested a prayer for the death of Sen. Bob Byrd during the health care debate last Saturday
night.
Barney
Frank and the "Democratic" Senate: Since the early twentieth century, the Progressives have been
very good at using the term "democracy" to undermine federalism and State power. Don't continue to be duped.
This rhetorical assault on the founding principles of the United States is not grounded in reality.
Rigging the
Numbers: [Scroll down] "We need to develop a greater resiliency in this country on
security issues," Sarah E. Mendelson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies told the
New York Times. "The administration needs to remind the American public that we have convicted
195 international terrorists in federal courts since 2001." That 195 number is making the rounds.
It is both false and an exercise in hypocrisy.
The Great Hate of the Left:
The left has long accused the right of being compassionless hatemongers. We stand for law and order, but
they call it fascist oppression. We attend Tea Party rallies to express passionate opposition to the radical
agenda and policies of the Obama administration, and we are called hateful racists.
Liberal Hate Speech.
Normally, according to the media elites' rulebook, when liberals rant, it's called free speech; when conservatives
rant, it is hate speech.
The Lies of Obama: When
politicians are caught out in lies, their supporters often resort to the old cliché: all
politicians lie. But that is itself a lie: most don't. Even among those who do, there
are enormous differences in the importance and frequency of the lies. And it is surely now clear that
this nation has a far from routine problem in the scale and regularity of President Obama's lying.
When Is a Person Not a Person?
Socialists have the most incredible lack of intellectual ability, and they lack the most basic tenets of
morality. Why is this? It is because their lives are predicated on political philosophy rather
than on facts and truth. That is how the Kenyan, Obama, came to be the Great Pretender in the White
House. In essence, he spoke well, but didn't have an ounce of truth about him. Yet, people
voted for him, to the astonishment of more rigorous minds.
Liberals play by their own rules. When Conservative Felonies Become Liberal Misdemeanors.
Why in matters of stupid behavior do liberals and Democrats often get second and third chances from the media
and general public not accorded to their conservative and Republican counterparts? We're seeing it now
in the national reaction to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's reported racial gaffe. Compare how he's
being treated to what happened to Trent Lott in 2002.
Climategate:
This time Al Gore lied. Al Gore's claim last week that the Climategate emails were
insignificant relied on two main defences. Both are so flagrantly wrong that it's not enough to
say Gore is simply mistaken. No, Al Gore is a liar. Last week we showed that the
first of his Climategate defences was so preposterously wrong that it was doubtful he had even read
the leaked emails he tried to dismiss.
As you know, she lost the election. Race is in a
spinout. Martha Coakley made a jaw-dropping declaration earlier this week at the only live televised
debate in Boston that she has deigned to do. She said, and I quote, "I've traveled the state and met
tremendous people." If she did, it was under the cover of darkness, with an assumed name.
When the Charm Rubs
Off. His Dec. 8 televised economics speech at the Brookings Institution was followed
on Dec. 10 by his televised Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, which was remarkable for 38 uses
of the pronoun "I." And for disavowing a competence no one suspected him of. ("I do not bring with
me today a definitive solution to the problems of war." Note the superfluous adjective.) And
for an unnecessary notification. ("Evil does exist in the world.") And for delayed
utopianism. ("We will not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes." But in someone's.)
And for solemnly announcing something undisputed. (There can be a just war.) And for
intellectual applesauce that should get speechwriters fired and editors hired.
Give
Me Liberty, or Give Me Obamacare. [Scroll down slowly] The Democrats are not only making
disingenuous claims about the costs of their proposal, they are making similarly disingenuous claims about its
effects on the deficit. Democrats claim that this massive expansion of government would somehow reduce
the deficit. But the CBO says otherwise.
Defenseless
Enviro-Thugs Go on Offense. It's the same old leftist playbook: Approach every desired
major policy change as a crisis, and demand immediate action. ... We saw it in our domestic politics in the
United States when President Barack Obama's leftist Democrats manufactured a simulated crisis over health
insurance, deliberately overstating by multiples the number of uninsured as a predicate to Obama's demand
that a comprehensive bill had to be passed before Congress' August recess. Shortly thereafter, it came
to light that Democrats had also grossly manipulated the projected costs of their proposals and flagrantly
lied about such issues as rationing and government-funded abortions.
The New Big Lie: Climategate Emails Are Not
Significant. The criminals at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in England brazenly defend the
indefensible. It is stunning to watch Michael Mann and Gavin Schmidt, who even look alike, staring
directly at the camera and denying the significance of their emails.
The Supporting Cast — Thought Police Anyone?
The most insidious activity included controlling climate information through Wikipedia. When I ask students how many
use Wikipedia for their research all hands go up. I know most media rely on it. Most have no idea how the
material is entered or edited. William Connolley knew and exploited the opportunity. ... His activities are shocking.
He established himself as an editor at Wikipedia and with a cadre (I use the term deliberately) of supporters he controlled
all entries relating to climate, climate change and the people involved. This included putting up false material
about skeptics.
Harry Reid's
main focus: Harry Reid. Harry Reid began the week in familiar fashion, by detonating an
improvised literary device on the Senate floor. It bombed. Instead of merely scolding Republicans
for their filibuster of the health-care legislation, he compared them to slaveholders and racists.
Reid's Teachable
Moment. Harry Reid is an obvious product of a government education that he and other
Liberals are inflicting on the rest of America, and he should be the poster child for school choice.
In his recent comment regarding Republicans' efforts to block "healthcare" legislation, Reid invoked the
ghosts of Democrats past, claiming that Republicans tried to block emancipation and civil rights
for blacks. I believe Reid gave America yet another teachable moment.
Al
Gore Photoshops Hurricanes Into New Book's Cover. The cover of Nobel Laureate Al Gore's
new book "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis" was intentionally doctored to exaggerate the
appearance of hurricanes in the northern hemisphere as well as reduce the amount of ice present in the
Arctic. Maybe even more ominously, Florida was so diminished it's almost totally gone.
Pelosi
Breaks Pledge to Put Final Health Care Bill Online for 72 Hours Before Vote. Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's office tells The Weekly Standard that the speaker will not allow the final language of the
health care to be posted online for 72 hours before bringing the bill to a vote on the House floor,
despite her September 24 statement that she was "absolutely" committed to doing so.
Democratic deficit duplicity.
I nearly fell out of my chair as I read this New York Times headline: "Democrats Push for Plan to Cut
Deficit." From the headline alone, I couldn't tell whether this was before, during or after they
supported President Barack Obama's intentional, exponential escalation of the deficit to $1.4 trillion.
That's simply immeasurable chutzpah.
They
Call It Fiscal Responsibility; We Call It Socialism. As others have noted, Obama and company
have employed multiple gimmicks to conceal and misrepresent the true costs of Obamacare. Like other
groups wanting to destroy America from the outside, liberals are patient. By backloading their spending,
they hope to deceive Americans into thinking their plan is budget-neutral.
ClimateGate
Is Not The First Time Progressive Scientists Have Lied To The World. Back in the early 1900's,
up through World War Two, the progressive movements of America and Europe committed large scale genocide with
their progressive Eugenic "science". In fact the term genocide was coined to describe what the Progressive
Eugenic movement did in this country and in Germany. Not many people understand the crime these American
Progressives committed, because public educators and other liberal professors just can't wrap their rigid
minds around the concept that the origins of their current religion are soaked in the blood of their own
dark history.
Four Tactical Steps That Will Defeat Obamacare.
[#1.] Denounce this bill for the lying fraud scheme it is: Just as an example: The Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) "scored" the Pelosi bill to cost $1.055 trillion — far above Barack Obama's $900 billion
ceiling. Pelosi immediately held a press conference and announced her bill would cost $894 billion —
a figure that did not appear in the CBO report and which could be reached only by subtracting projected IRS-administered
penalties from the actual cost.
Hoffman
alleges vote fraud in NY 23. Even as he faces near-impossible odds of pulling ahead in the
count, Doug Hoffman announced Wednesday night [11/18/2009] that he is officially revoking his concession
from Election Night, and is accusing labor unions and ACORN of stealing the election for Rep. Bill Owens
(D-N.Y.). Hoffman posted a message on his campaign site Wednesday alleging dirty tricks by Democrats,
and is asking for additional campaign contributions to fund a legal challenge to the election results.
Can America Survive its Sharp Left Turn? In
the Left's Utopian world, one can lie while accusing an individual of lying. One can ride in limousines and live in a
big house while telling others to ride bikes and live in un-air conditioned huts to save the planet. One can make
millions of dollars while bashing capitalism. And one can cheat on their taxes while telling others it is their
patriotic duty to pay more taxes. You can demand women's rights and claim that forced sex is not "rape-rape".
You see, the left are special. They are better educated than you or I. They are smarter, healthier, better looking,
more talented, and just plain nicer than we will ever be. So, they are above criticism, and above the law.
The Left's World
of Fairy Tales. Dogma explains why it is useless to point out to the left how the left has economically
crippled California, once the most prosperous, most adventurous, most successful "country" in the world (it has
an economy that would make it about the seventh largest country in the world). Likewise, it does not
matter to blacks what Democrats have done to their cities. As they watch their cities crumble, they
will once again vote overwhelmingly for the party that oversaw this destruction. None of these
facts matters because religious-like dogmas are not derived from facts.
Great Myths of the Great
Depression: Students today are often given a skewed account of the Great Depression of 1929-1941 that
condemns free-market capitalism as the cause of, and promotes government intervention as the solution to, the economic
hardships of the era. In this essay based on a popular lecture, Mackinac Center for Public Policy President
Lawrence W. Reed debunks the conventional view and traces the central role that poor government policy played
in fostering this legendary catastrophe.
No public
funding for a private act. [In 1973] So-called "pro-choice" advocates hadn't thought up the term "a woman's
right to choose" just yet. Then they found themselves in a quandary: Poor women couldn't afford abortions.
How then, could they exercise the "right to privacy" and have an abortion without government interference they had
championed in the Roe decision? They came up with the notion that poor women had the right to use government
funds — taxpayer dollars, public money — for the result of what was essentially the most private
of acts. So, of course, the phrase "a right to privacy" had to go. In came "a woman's right to choose,"
even if the choice was funded with somebody's money other than her own.
Camelot and Obamalot.
Even when the Left tries to hide the sins of their heroes by canonizing them, we see through the charade.
We know that effusive tributes and mile long processions do not exonerate immoral behavior. For us,
personal behavior matters. If a man abandons a woman to die, or sleeps with little boys, or calls his
grandma a "typical white woman," this speaks volumes about his character. So the Left detests us
because, to them, we're the spoil sports.
Sen.
Kerry Recycles Greenpeace's Lie About Arctic Ice. Radical environmentalists love recycling so
much that they recycle lies — and the lies are even bolder when reincarnated. Sen. John Kerry
proved it this week when he recycled Greenpeace's lie about an ice-free Arctic and said it will become a
reality even sooner, by 2013.
Liberal Lies About National Health Care.
[Scroll down] Apparently, promising to cut costs by having a panel of Washington bureaucrats (for short,
"The Death Panel") deny medical treatment wasn't a popular idea with most Americans. So liberals started
claiming that they are going to cover an additional 47 million uninsured Americans and cut costs ... without
ever denying a single medical treatment! Also on the agenda is a delicious all-you-can-eat chocolate cake
that will actually help you lose weight!
Health care event attendee lied about
being doctor. U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Thursday [8/13/2009] distanced herself from a
University of Houston graduate student and Texas Obama delegate who falsely identified herself as a pediatric
physician at the congresswoman's health care reform town hall meeting this week. ... Jared Woodfill, chairman
of Harris County Republican Party, on Thursday said Mayer's misrepresentation "shows you what we've known all
along." "The Democrats," he said, "will do anything it takes to pass Obamacare, whether it's misrepresentation,
deception, trickery or outright fraud. It appears there are no boundaries to what they are willing
to do."
'Oooh. Van Jones,
alright!' The problems with Van "change the system" Jones are not just his serial slurs against much
of American society ("an apartheid regime") as we know it (e.g., capitalism, the coal industry, American farming, the
white population, the Bush administration (for causing 9/11), the [Republicans], etc. — but that he simply
cannot tell the truth about his own history, in disavowing almost everything he has said, written, or signed
in the recent past.
The Liars Club. Leftist Democrats
simply lie about everything that they think will help them politically and that they think they can get away with.
The Liars Party (also, to an amazing degree, the Lawyers Party) does not care about any of the policies which it professes
to advocate. ... Members of the Liars Club do not even merit the dubious honor of being called Leftist ideologues.
They are simply utterly selfish and profoundly amoral liars who view the moral conscience and fidelity to truth of
conservatives as more dangerous to them as any notions of market theory, natural rights, or rule of law.
Liberalism
is really about money and power. So many things that liberals argue about economics are simply and
demonstrably wrong. But even when you prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are wrong, the liberals
keep mouthing the same basic untruths.
Suspect
in vandalism leftist, not Republican. A suspect in a case of vandalism at the Colorado Democratic
headquarters was once a paid campaign worker for a Democratic candidate for the legislature, despite the state
party chief having blamed hate-fomented opposition to Democratic health care plans.
Nancy's Nazis: Both Hitler and Stalin
hated real science. They had real scientists sent to concentration camps. The reason is of course that real
science is about telling the truth. That is why "global warming" is also a totalitarian scheme; it's fraudulent
science. It is also why the Left cannot openly debate the pros and cons of Central Planning in
American medicine. They are not happy with searching out the truth.
Pelosi's Swastika
Claim Is A Crock. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) proclaimed that those attending health
care town hall meetings are "carrying swastikas."
Obamacare's Fake
Doctor. I guess since Obama's spent the last month insulting surgeons and otolaryngologists, it's no
surprise that Obamacare supporters would have to get a fake doctor to come as Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee questions about it.
The Houston Chronicle is just catching onto a story about Obamacare's non-doctor that California conservative
blogger Patterico broke last week after the Chronicle credulously publicized her question as "from a physician."
Preparing
for War: Boning Up on the Left's Health Care Myths. [President Obama] enjoys
saying — incorrectly — Americans pay $6,000 more per year on health care than people
of other advanced nations for no better care. The statement is abominably false. Just
as Obama is manipulating the cost and benefit numbers to enlist popular and Blue Dog support for
his socialized medicine conspiracy, he distorts statistics to make the specious claim that our
health care system isn't far superior to all others.
Some of the Democrat's Healthcare Lies
Discussed. For example, the new government run plan will supposedly "compete" with private
companies; however, the bill exposes employers operating group health plans to state law remedies and
private causes of action, but the government run plan can only be sued in federal court.
Obamacare
is losing support for good reason. During a town hall meeting by telephone this week, U.S. Rep. Paul
Hodes discussed his support for a trillion-plus dollar health care reform package with his constituents. "We've
got to lower costs for everybody," he said. Who does he think he's kidding? If we "lower costs for everybody,"
where exactly is the trillion dollars going to come from?
Beware the
Counterrevolution. When their evil intent is revealed, the leftists retreat and then re-package
it in different wrapping paper. Socialized medicine becomes Hillarycare becomes ObamaCare. Healthcare
is a right for everyone, they say. Who would dare oppose that? Environmentalism becomes global warming
becomes climate change. Who could be against saving the planet? ... The problem for these strategies is that
once people have had a chance to examine the packages, they are discovering that they are Trojan horses.
They do not save the planet nor provide quality healthcare for all Americans. Their sole purpose is to dramatically
expand the power of the government over its citizens, providing the potential for complete enslavement.
The Evasions and Misstatements
of Sonia Sotomayor. There is plenty of reason to conclude, as [The Washington Post's Eva] Rodriquez did, that
Sotomayor was being less than honest in her testimony. Many of Sotomayor's misstatements were blatant and easily
revealed.
Democrats
are relying on deception again. Support for any Democratic policy initiative requires dishonesty, and
the health plan being pushed by President Barack Obama is no exception. Let's examine what the proponents of
government health care are saying. First, there are 46 million uninsured people in the United States.
Even though this may be literally true, it is deliberately misleading. And, it is often stated as "46 million
without health care," which is not just misleading, it's an outright lie.
Joe Biden: 'We Have to Go Spend Money
to Keep From Going Bankrupt'. Vice President Joe Biden told people attending an AARP town hall meeting that
unless the Democrat-supported health care plan becomes law the nation will go bankrupt and that the only way to avoid that
fate is for the government to spend more money.
Taxing The Truth. President
Obama, a smart man, says that tax cuts for the wealthy are the main reason we're now in such economic trouble.
Someone needs to tell him how utterly — and dangerously — wrong that is.
Pelosi vs. CIA: Why It
Matters. "Bush lied, people died" became a refrain uttered endlessly by Bush haters. But Bush didn't
lie — and the Democrats know it. Indeed, to extricate herself from Torture-gate, Pelosi now compliments
the CIA, the very agency Bush relied on in making the case for war. But public opinion turned against the war.
Then waterboarding became "torture."
This is Torture?
[Scropll down] The administration's other mistake was to endorse the view, promulgated by the Left, that the
techniques described in the memos deserve to be called "torture." Even a cursory examination indicates otherwise.
Indeed, so far from being "brutal," as the New York Times has reported, most of the interrogation techniques are
remarkable in their mildness.
Obama and the Alternative Energy Fiasco:
[Scroll down] All of these things are happening at a time when natural gas is abundant and cheap. ... Many
cars could run on natural gas, much like many buses do already. ... New technologies continually revive old oil
and gas fields and make new ones economically viable. So it's little more than socialist Malthusianism to
argue that the world is running out of cheap energy.
Spend Or Starve. Congressional
Democrats are taking disinformation to a new low. Before now, we were on a "starvation diet," claims one, adding that
failure to spend nearly a trillion dollars will trigger "Armageddon."
President
TelePrompTer® compares Model T to SUV. At a visit to at the Edison electric car factory
in California, President TelePrompTer told the employees that "A Model T got better gas mileage than
today's SUV". Not wanting to take a man of his stout reputation at his word alone, let's look at the
specs for each.
Editor's note:
As far as I can determine, the word TelePrompTer is not a registered trademark, and the
designation as such in the preceding title may be in error.
The Great Left Smear Machine. Liberals
have created a powerhouse propaganda machine that helped Moveon.org smear a four-star general, promotes endless
environmental scares and brags it can place its left wing themes in the nation's leading newspapers. Fenton
Communications pitches for trial lawyers, collectively the largest contributors to the Democrat Party, as well as
for the hard line environmental group Greenpeace; Venezuela's socialist leader Hugo Chavez; anti-war demonstrator
Cindy Sheehan; and gay and abortion advocates. Its account executives arrive from such left wing outposts as
the office of ultra liberal Rep. Dennis Kucinich, abortion provider Planned Parenthood, the anti-Bush ACLU,
Greenpeace and the news media.
The warmist PR
con job. It's almost a left wing harmonic convergence on global warming fraud. Chris
Horner writing for Big Government reveals that the principle warmist blogsite, Real Climate, is a
Fenton operation. Fenton Communications is the left wing PR operation that promoted the Alar
scare and other bogus health scares, and are the poeple who created the infamous "General Betray Us"
ad attacking Gneeral Petraeus.
The "Depression" for
Us Idiots. I feel like Winston Smith in Oceania, confused about all the doublethink coming out of Washington.
Great Depression — no Great Depression. Recession for years; its end at the end of this year. Signing
statements bad; signing statements good. Fundamentals hardly strong; fundamentals really sound. Earmarks terrible;
8,000 wonderful. Bush's $500 billion deficit reckless; Obama's $1.7 [trillion] sober and judicious; Iraq
horrific and the worst whatever; Iraq suddenly quiet, democratic, and hopeful; highest ethical bar in an administration
ever — Richardson, Daschle, Killefer, Solis, etc. cannot meet the lowest; ... Obama not to be blamed for
massive collapse of stock prices since November; Obama to be praised for modest gains last week. At some point,
someone in the media must be getting embarrassed that they are all working at the Ministry of Truth.
Maher:
Glenn Beck Increasing Chance of 'Horrible Action' on Obama. Fox New's Glenn Beck is increasing
"the chance for people to take horrible action" on President Obama. So said HBO's Bill Maher Friday evening
[3/20/2009] in a lengthy discussion about FNC's new primetime star. I guess Maher missed the hypocrisy
concerning his disturbingly caustic views of the Bush administration while they were in power, in particular
his expression of regret that the March 2007 assassination of Vice President Dick Cheney failed.
Liberals, time to face
the truth. The flourishing liberal dictum that the public should keep its paws off the funding
and practice of science is a serious and dangerous fabrication. Among liberal rhetoricians, this erroneous
diktat blossomed when then-President George W. Bush limited federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research.
They said Bush and others with moral qualms about destroying human life to advance scientific knowledge were
"anti-science." So, when the political left found they could advance their own scientific agenda by
painting conservatives as anti-science, the slander became an embedded component of liberal group think.
The Pride of the
Liberals: [Obama's] ambition may wreck his presidency, or it may make him the world-historical figure
he aspires to be. But what is more troubling is the unwarranted intellectual self-confidence that liberalism
in the age of Obama increasingly exhibits. The debate over the economic-stimulus plan illustrated the point.
When that plan was criticized, President Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate majority whip Dick Durbin all resorted
nearly immediately to the "argument" that they had won the election.
Why I Love Big Government:
I was against government taking all of my money until Paul Krugman opened my eyes to the multiplier effect of public
spending. Krugman claims that a dollar spent by government raises the GDP a buck and a half. I don't think
even Bernie Madoff promised that kind of return. I suggest Krugman do everything he can to get the federal
government to take over the New York Times. I mean, it is pretty obvious the paper can't get a fifty percent
return these days, and without the Times I would not have been exposed to Krugman's magic money theories.
Obama and the Liberal
Freeloader Culture. Liberals have made freeloading into a way of life — even for the
well to do. There's the well-to-do woman who cadges free meds from a physician relative. There's
the well-to-do woman who's signed up for her state's basic health plan. There's 2007's S-CHIP poster
child whose parents can afford late-model cars and private school tuition but not health insurance.
Slurring Thomas Jefferson.
When, in the course of the Clinton presidency, it became necessary to normalize sexual misbehavior among presidents,
the memory of Thomas Jefferson was soiled, with the compliance of academic and journalistic liberal elites.
Was Thomas Jefferson Really a
Liar and a Rapist? [This story] appeared to be a handy red herring to drag across the Clinton
scandal trail [in 1998], since there was a story circulating that President Bill Clinton, while
governor, had fathered a child by a black woman prostitute named Bobbi Ann Williams.
Why We Don't Celebrate 'Historians Day'. Being
gracious winners, this week, liberals howled with delight at George Bush for coming in seventh-to-last in a historians'
ranking of the presidents from best to worst. This was pretty shocking. Most liberals can't even name seven
U.S. presidents. Being ranked one of the worst presidents by "historians" is like being called "anti-American" by
the Nation magazine. And by "historian," I mean a former member of the Weather Underground, who is subsidized by the
taxpayer to engage in left-wing political activism in a cushy university job. So congratulations, George Bush!
Whenever history professors rank you as one of the "worst" presidents, it's a good bet you were one of America's greatest.
A President Who Needs Misery. Democrats
are, more than anything else, power junkies. The morals of society, the welfare of others, the hopes of
posterity — all these mean nothing next to the pure political power of right now. The normal
assumption is that political parties that create prosperity win political power, but that is not an entirely
accurate assumption. FDR gained more political power when the nation careened into deeper dependence,
deeper poverty, and deeper debt.
Can you say, "audience plant?" Housing For The Needy Not The Greedy.
In view of latest developments in the Homeless Henrietta Hughes matter, Canada Free Press (CFP) is suggesting
"Housing For The Needy Not The Greedy" as a more realistic slogan than "Hope & Change" for President
Barack Obama. Obama's Homeless Woman of Ft. Myers, Florida Stimulus Package Promotion fame is in
reality a Real Estate Investor.
When 'Freedom' And 'Choice' Are
Neither: The doublespeak coming from Washington these days has Orwell twirling in his grave. ... Today's
political climate is the closest we've come to Orwell's vision of 1984. We've had the old doublespeak standby of
"choice" in abortion around for decades. Of course the only one making the choice is the women involved, the
father and baby don't get a choice, they get an outcome.
Worst Liberal Lies of 2008 Liberal ideology, and the average
liberal's self-image, is founded on — let's be polite about it — myth and misinformation.
Throughout the 20th century, liberals have excused and explained their latest utopian "solutions" to
manufactured "problems" using twisted history. As it turns out: DDT isn't dangerous, Alger Hiss
was a spy, the Rosenbergs were guilty, the Samoans weren't promiscuous, one-our-of-four women aren't rape
victims, AIDS isn't a threat to "everyone"... This list is long ... .
Is it 2008 — or
1984? For years now we have been preached to that Guantanamo is a gulag where Korans are stomped and
flushed (not laptops provided to the chief architect of 9/11), that we waged a foolhardy, amoral, and hopelessly 'lost'
war against the Iraqi people, that the rich plundered the economy on the backs of the poor, and that the Constitution
was burned so that covert agencies could play James Bond. I could go on, but you get the picture.
Democrats
try to brand earmarks as good. Capitol Hill's top Democrats are making a full-throated effort
to rebrand earmarks as good government, not a dirty word synonymous with pork-barrel hijinks. With
President Obama's vow to clamp down on earmarks putting pressure on lawmakers to change their ways,
congressional leaders have set out to educate voters about why they think Congress should direct dollars
to districts or states for specific pet projects.
It's
a Recession, Not a 'Catastrophe'. President Obama, writing in The Washington Post, said, "By now,
it's clear to everyone that we have inherited an economic crisis as deep and dire as any since the days of the
Great Depression." But how would we know if and when this crisis is really more "deep and dire" than
others? Many may believe we're in the worst recession since the Great Depression, if only because
politicians and the press keep repeating that claim.
From hope to doomsday.
The way things are going, we can expect to wake up one morning to find the president of the United States wandering
the streets of Washington in sack cloth with a placard predicting, well, the end. He's already given us
everything but the exact date on which the world will end as he leads a chorus of his supporters demanding that
Congress adopt his every nostrum lest our economic crisis transform itself into a "catastrophe," as Mr. Obama
put it, or "absolute collapse," as Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.) warned, or even "Armageddon," in the words of
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.).
$300 Million for Golf
carts/Hybrids in Stimulus. $300 million has been allocated in the stimulus bill for modern
golf carts and other forms of environmentally friendly modes of transportation. The Democrats thought
they could fool you by renaming the money earmarked for golf carts in the stimulus bill as paying for
"neighborhood electric vehicles" and "low speed motor vehicles."
The Editor says...
I'm already driving a "low speed motor vehicle" — my 14-year-old Saturn. And I'm surely
not going to drive a golf cart to work, especially through the kind of neighborhoods I'd have to cross.
Lies And Liars. Random House
dictionary defines lie as "a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive." Technically, this
makes Obama a liar. Ditto the majority of politicians who lace their coveted face time with political
spin that has no connection to existing facts. Changing the name of an apple to an orange, doesn't make
the apple an orange. And lying convincingly to millions of people doesn't make the lie truthful.
All it means is that, once again, the liar has gotten away with fooling most of the people, most of the time.
Benjamin Franklin Was Not An Animal Rights Activist.
Benjamin Franklin was a writer, humorist, businessman, scientist, inventor, musician, diplomat, politician, political
theorist, and civic leader. What he wasn't: an animal rights activist. But don't try telling that to
vegan extremists who have been claiming the great inventor as one of their own. It's not the first time wishful
activist thinking has been substituted for facts.
Sarah Palin: Conservative of the Year. The
same media that couldn't be bothered to investigate Obama's ties to former Weathermen or Syrian Nationalist Tony Rezko was
soon hot on the trail of a rumor that Palin's church had a speaker 30 years ago who spoke in tongues! Let me
think now: Were there ever any unusual or otherwise noteworthy speeches or sermons given in churches where Obama
worshipped? Hmmm... it's on the tip of my tongue. Liberals also suddenly decided that a woman with children
could not handle the stress of higher office. Until Palin reared her beautiful head, this is precisely the sort of
thinking liberals would have denounced as the Neanderthal, backwards, good old boy network attitude that had created
a "glass ceiling."
Say Goodbye to America.
Democrats believe that if they lose an election it's because their opponent cheated. It's never their
fault. It's never because they ran a poor campaign. It's never because their opponent ran a better
one. ... It's always about voter fraud, disenfranchisement, not enough ballots, faulty machinery, hanging
chads, negative advertising, intimidation tactics, campaign finance abuses, you name it.
Accountability.
It is a funny — though not ha-ha funny — double standard: When the GOP ran the
show, it was always held responsible for every "bad" outcome. Now that the GOP is in the minority, it's
still held responsible for every "bad" outcome. I suppose it's a similar standard that somehow allows
the Democrats in charge of overseeing the financial sector to whine that there hasn't been enough oversight
without even the slightest sting of embarrassment.
Pre-industrial CO2 levels were about the
same as today. Why we are told otherwise? Proponents of human induced warming and
climate change told us that an increase in CO2 precedes and causes temperature increases. They were
wrong. They told us the late 20th century was the warmest on record. They were wrong. They told us,
using the infamous "hockey stick" graph, the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) did not exist. They were wrong. They
told us global temperatures would increase through 2008 as CO2 increased. They were wrong. They told us
Arctic ice would continue to decrease in area through 2008. They were wrong. They told us October 2008
was the second warmest on record. They were wrong.
The Chickens Have
Come Home to Roost. Perhaps you think the problems causing the market meltdown are economic and financial
in nature. If so, think again. Such problems are mere symptoms of the malady. The root causes are moral
and ethical in nature. For decades, secularists in America scoffed at religion and her offspring, morality and
ethics. They removed religion from the realm of "truth" and reduced it to mere "opinion." Truth was limited
to that which could be objectified, quantified, and verified. Since that could not be accomplished with religion
(at least on this side of eternity), "religious truth" was deemed an oxymoron. Absolutes were out, relativism was
in. Morals became "relative" and ethics became "situational." Virtue was rejected as an antiquated notion.
Results were all that mattered. These ideas began to permeate society, including Wall Street. And since
ideas have consequences, they began to influence the way business was conducted on the Street.
Show me where Stalin
is buried and I'll show you a Communist Plot. It's true the left relies on symbolism over
substance. They have to. It's all they have. Symbols, speeches, posters, politically
correct language and harangues. In other words, the Nanny State. A corrupt self-enriching Nanny
State. If you've ever wondered why the left constantly mocks the good and the decent, it's because
they're angry contrarians. They say goodbye when they mean hello. They say love when they mean
lust. They're cynical, angry, with issues galore. They think they're important, they think
they're funny.
Vote-fraud-seeding
ACORN deserves a good cracking. It used to be that Americans — even American
political candidates — would simply accept the little Election Day miracles and move on. When
the dead rose in Chicago to put John F. Kennedy in the White House, Richard Nixon said one of his many
goodbyes and faded into the wallpaper for eight years. When residents of a certain precinct in Texas
voted in alphabetical order to send Lyndon Johnson to the U.S. Senate — hey, it could happen.
Right? Then Al Gore lost in 2000 and John Kerry lost in 2004 and the conspiracy theorists decided
it was time to build a conspiracy that could win for them.
Sarah Palin and the
Experience Factor. Why is it that liberal misrepresentations are never fully addressed before
they become established as received wisdom? Whatever the topic may be, the left is consistently allowed
to set the terms on which the argument takes place. ... In the past few years we've seen "WMDs were the sole
reason for invading Iraq", "CO2 is the major driver of climatic trends", and "Karl Rove is the Devil
Incarnate", to consider only three. Each case is demonstrably false, yet each case has been allowed to
dominate the public debate.
Factors that
Could Lead to Obama's Downfall: [In his campaign ads, Bill Clinton] told voters that he was for a middle
class tax cut and for "ending welfare as we know it." ... When Clinton promised those things, the economy had already
begun, and was maintaining, a steady recovery. That didn't stop him from referring to it as the worst economy
in 50 years, though, and the nation bought it.
Why
Dogs, Not Liberals, Are Man's Best Friend. To blame a liberal for lying and blatant hypocrisy would be as
heartless as blaming an alcoholic for drinking. In fact, I suspect that, like alcoholics, liberals suffer from a
chemical imbalance. Otherwise, how would you explain the enormous gulf between what they say and what they do?
Truthless Joe. Neither
[Jimmy] Carter nor Bill Clinton, whose twists and turns before a grand jury led to his impeachment, ever stared
into the camera and spouted such a string of outright fabrications as if they were gospel truths the way Barack
Obama's running mate did last week. Thankfully, the blogosphere has been having a field day cataloguing
Joe's whoppers.
Religiosity Without Religion.
Secularism, of course, never has to explain itself or prove its claims, a curiously privileged position for an
ideology that rests on skepticism and relativism. Apparently everything is unknowable to secularists
except the obvious wisdom of their holding a dominant spot in public debates. How we know with certainty
that secularism is synonymous with "reason" and religion synonymous with "mere opinion" is never explained.
Diminishing Palin:
Starting with Gerald Ford, the inside-the-beltway class and its amplifiers in the media have routinely decided
that Republicans who seek national office are dullards. Literally every Republican candidate for
president since 1980 has had his intellect belittled. Even Bob Dole, a candidate who had spent decades
proving his remarkable mental acuity in Congress, had to face such salvos because his age had allegedly dulled
his mental edge. Sound vaguely familiar?
Who is a hypocrite?
Liberals are fed up with conservatives for trying to regulate their "private" behavior. Yet it is
they who want to regulate every minute aspect of our lives, from smoking to eating to weapons to energy
consumption to confiscatory taxation to health care to retirement security. Liberals insist that
what a public official does in his private life is irrelevant to his public fitness or conduct. Yet
they're now telling us the private conduct even of a relative of a conservative candidate is fair game.
Axelrod Astroturfs an Attack Against Palin.
The media love covering grassroots attacks on major political candidates. The attacks signal a large base
of Americans disturbed by a particular candidate or issue. When those grassroots attacks are manufactured
by public relations firms, they aren't real: they're astroturfed — fake attacks designed to
look like a grassroots movement.
Orchestrated "Grassroots" Smear Campaigns and the People
that Run Them. Within an hour of this post going up, YouTube videos implicating Ethan Winner
were yanked, sockpuppet accounts deleted, and more importantly, the Wikipedia entry on David Axelrod began to
edit out mentions of his well know astroturfing campaigns. Hmmm, it sounds to me like we're on to
something. We have backups of all the deleted websites, and have now included them in the post.
Whoopi Goldberg and the Slavery Question.
On the September 12 edition of "View," host Whoopi Goldberg asked Senator John McCain, "Do I have to be worried
about becoming a slave again?" Goldberg's question was obviously a loaded attempt to either stump McCain
or force him into saying something politically incorrect.
The Editor asks...
When was Whoopi Goldberg released from slavery?
Energy Myths: Many
in Congress seem either disconnected from reality or intentionally disingenuous about our energy crunch.
They have well-honed negative responses to common-sense ideas about solving our energy crisis, particularly
drilling for more oil. These responses are based on a number of widely held myths. Sadly, they've
become the backbone of the Democrats' energy policy. They include: "We can't drill our way out
of our energy crisis." Actually, we can.
Now it's 'swift-boating'?
It's only dirty pool if you lose. That's the apparent Democratic approach to presidential politics.
In 2004, Democrats tried to use film, in the form of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, to discredit and
bring down President Bush in his re-election effort. CBS even got into the fray, using obviously forged
documents to try to tarnish Bush's National Guard service. It led to news anchor Dan Rather's retirement.
Dems'
Doublethink on Drilling: High gasoline prices are good. A high price, imposed through
federal carbon taxes or carbon caps, is precisely the mechanism by which Democrats hope to curb carbon
emissions. … [But] High gasoline prices are bad. With constituents irate over gasoline prices
that are pushing $5 a gallon, Democrats complain that high prices are a bad thing.
Why
Liberals Lie About What They Believe: The liberal agenda is, in many respects, the same as it
was in the thirties. Whether you call it communism, fascism, socialism, liberalism, or progressivism,
the only real difference is how much they believe they can get away with, the way they sell it to people, and
the latest trendy name for what they believe.
It Can't Get Any Worse?
I hate to burst the dystopian bubble the Leftists have persistently inflated during the nightmare known as The
Bush Administration, but people have never had better food, medicine and housing than they do at this very
moment. A typical home in America today has central heat and air, the cheapest car is a paragon of
safety and efficiency compared with its ancestors, and people are routinely treated for, and survive,
conditions which were fatal less than half a century ago.
Dems
Skip Town: Empty Promises Revealed. Right now middle-class Americans are suffering from
expensive-energy induced inflation. We all know the adverse consequences pain at the pumps has wrought.
So what does "the most open" House majority of all time do when a fair and honest debate over drilling doesn't
exactly help them? They dodge the debate for weeks. They disingenuously lead the American people
to believe that oil and gas won't necessarily be a part of our energy needs in the future.
The
Democrats' Big Problem: The War In Iraq Wasn't About Oil. Since the liberation of Iraq in
March 2003, liberals have been screaming that the war to remove Saddam Hussein and his henchmen was a facade.
They have been shouting for years on end that the real reason for U.S. presence in Iraq was to secure resources
for the Exxon/Mobils of the world. They have been shrieking that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney,
oilmen both, hijacked American foreign policy to pad their pocketbooks. There was only one problem with
that logic, of course: The price of oil has been skyrocketing since the invasion of Iraq.
Democrats: The Missing Years.
The DNC website section labeled "Party History," … is in fact scrubbed clean of the not-so-little dirty secret
that fueled Democrats' political successes for over a century and a half and made American life a hell on earth
for black Americans. … So what's missing? There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party
platforms supporting slavery. There were six from 1840-1860. There is no reference to the number of
Democratic presidents who owned slaves. There were seven from 1800-1861. There is no reference to
the number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the
subject. There were 20, from 1868-1948. There is no reference to "Jim Crow" as in "Jim Crow laws,"
nor is there reference to the role Democrats played in creating them.
Obama the Postmodern
Candidate. Mr. Obama is on a nodding acquaintance with the concept of "truth." It appears
that everything he says and does must be viewed "in context" and that the framing of that context is the sole
province of Barack Obama. Take the whole Reverend Wright issue for example. Over the course of six
weeks we were told that he had no idea these things were said; he had a vague idea they were said; he knew
they were said but could no more disown them than his occasionally racist grandmother; he had been personally
disrespected and was through with Jeremiah Wright. Quite a bit of "context" to get from his initial
statements to the end point a mere month and a half later…
Democrats more dysfunctional than ever.
Barack Obama's people have said that Hillary Clinton will probably not be the Democratic vice presidential
candidate because of her husband, Bill's past. … Aren't these the same Democrats that less than a decade
ago defended the then sitting president during impeachment proceedings brought about as a result of Bill's
perjury and suborning perjury?
Harkin
Suggests Military Background Makes McCain Unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin
is catching grief for suggesting John McCain's family history of military service makes the presumptive
Republican presidential nominee unfit to be commander-in-chief. Harkin, who has a history of
embellishing his own military record, told Iowa reporters last week that McCain's background as the son and
grandson of Navy admirals creates a "dangerous" situation because he can only view the world through the
prism of the military.
The Editor says...
Eisenhower worked out okay, didn't he?
It's Obama's Character,
Stupid. I picked up a copy of Time magazine yesterday, in which a columnist declared that
issues of "character" were a "distraction" in the Presidential race. Obama actually said the same thing
in his North Carolina press conference, that the Reverend Wright affair has been a "distraction." Isn't
this what liberals usually say when their own characters come under public scrutiny? What a heap of pure
poppycock! Character is the primary issue in every Presidential election.
Oil Lessons. "We
can't drill our way out of the problem." Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has said it.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said it. It's one of those bromides sincerely repeated by Democrats
with such conviction that for years left-leaning audiences duly nodded their heads, never questioning whether
the truism was indeed true. Until gasoline leaped above the $4-a-gallon mark.
Biblical
Scholars Challenge Pelosi's 'Scripture' Quote. In her April 22 Earth Day news release,
Pelosi said, "The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an
act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.' … Claude Mariottini, a
professor of Old Testament at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, told Cybercast News Service the passage
not only doesn't exist — it's "fictional." "It is not in the Bible," Mariottini said.
"There is nothing that even approximates that."
More Prisoners, Less
Crime. Last July, Obama said that "more young black men languish in prison than attend colleges and
universities." Actually, there are more than twice as many black men ages 18 to 24 in college as there are
in jail. Last September he said, "We have a system that locks away too many young, first-time, nonviolent offenders
for the better part of their lives." But Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute, writing in the institute's
City Journal, notes that from 1999 to 2004, violent offenders accounted for all of the increase in the prison population.
Shattering
Three Myths About Liberals: (#3) Liberalism is the ideology of science. It has been said
that if we ever have fascism here in America, it will be called anti-fascism. Similarly, it's liberals
who politicize science to fit their ideological goals and then declare that their opponents are the ones who
have rejected reason.
Dem and Dumber in
Ohio: Democratic congressional candidate Mary Jo Kilroy sent a look-alike to rural parade.
Much like Saddam Hussein, Ohio 15th congressional district Democratic candidate Mary Jo Kilroy uses body
doubles when she tires of having to deal with all of the little people she intends to represent. Such
was the case last week when Kilroy sent her campaign body double to represent her at the Plain City Steam
Thresher parade.
How the Left Intimidates the
Media. Environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was recently paid $20,000 by
Virginia Tech to tell the students that there aren't two sides to the global warming debate and
that the problem with the media today is that we don't have a fairness doctrine. Those
positions, which sound contradictory, betray the modern liberal agenda. They want to bring
back the fairness doctrine not to ensure true fairness and balance in journalism but to intimidate
and censor those expressing a view contrary to their own.
That's
a lie. Ten often-repeated Democrat canards, half-truths and misconceptions.
The Wages of
Sensitivity. The Democrats are the party of self-conscious inclusion, of identity politics, of
sensitivity training, of hate crimes, hate speech, and of rules to control them. A presidential campaign,
on the other hand, is nothing but "hate speech," as opponents dive deep into opposition research, fling
charges true, half-true, and simply made up against one another in an attempt to present their rivals as
slimy, dishonest, disreputable, dangerous, and possibly the worst human beings who ever drew breath.
Phony Pflegerism:
Normally the Democrats encourage priests and religious to misuse their office, to treat the binding teachings
of their church as debatable while treating the platform and causes of the Democratic Party as doctrine; to
put on their religious garb at political meetings, then take it off for catechesis.
Swift-Boating for Truth: Democrats
never think they lose a fair fight. The fix is always in and it is against them. When the 2006
midterms came around and Democrats won, of course, that was accurate. If Democrats win, it is a fair
outcome, when they lose — the response is the personal destruction of anyone in their way.
Global Warming Led to 'Black Hawk Down,'
Congressman Says. A top Democrat told high school students gathered at the U.S. Capitol Thursday that climate
change caused Hurricane Katrina and the conflict in Darfur, which led to the "black hawk down" battle between U.S. troops
and Somali rebels. Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), chairman of the House (Select) Energy Independence and Global Warming
Committee, also equated the drive for global warming legislation with the drive for women's suffrage in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries.
Liberal
Smears Unchallenged. The general election season is under way, and the leftists are already displaying
their hypocrisy. They've launched pre-emptive warnings against a Republican "swiftboating" of Barack Obama
at the same time they're making up wild allegations about the villainous ultraconservative plots against
goodness planned by John McCain.
The Tanker Dogfight:
The Air Force has fumbled the bidding for new aerial refueling tankers for seven years now, and suddenly it's John
McCain's fault. That's election-year politics for you. The Democratic National Committee claims it was
Senator McCain who steered the $35 billion tanker contract away from Boeing and toward Northrop Grumman
and the European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co., or EADS.
Right-Wing Perverts. [Former
presidential candidate, Gary Hart] claims that the right's strategy is: "Continue to demonize liberals,
blame them for all social and economic problems, and soon enough no one will be willing to admit to being a
liberal. Claim that liberals and Democrats are too soft to combat terrorists and soon enough a majority,
even in the oldest democracy on earth, will believe it." Would that this truth were so easy to convey!
If Hart's charges weren't so pompously humorless, you'd have to laugh at his calling conservatives "radical
perverters of language," coming as it does from the former darling of a party whose most recent president had
us scrambling to define the meaning of the word "is."
Hillary: Stand By Some Other Man.
Liberals believe, often accurately, that if they say the same thing over and over again 1 billion times,
people will believe it: "Bush lied, kids died," "We've lost in Iraq," "Reagan is stupid," "Bush is stupid,"
"Republicans are stupid," "Global warming is destroying the planet," "Gloria Steinem is good-looking"
and — their most provably false assertion — "Bill Clinton is the most talented politician
of his generation."
Obama's
Deceptive Anti-Oil Ad: 'I Don't Take $ From Oil Companies'. It has been illegal for the
last 100 years for an oil company to directly donate to a political campaign. So, while it is
technically correct that Obama isn't taking money from oil companies, it is ALSO true that neither is anyone
else!
FDR's dream comes true as nightmare.
When the US Mint was closed to gold in March, 1933, by Roosevelt and the country embarked on the sea of
managed currency, a very large number of individuals and organizations urged a prompt return to the gold
standard. The question arises as to what has become of those opposing voices in the
intervening years. Why, some were silenced through bribe and blackmail. … All knowledge about
gold money was systematically purged from university curricula and from institutes of advanced
studies, replaced by a claptrap of pseudo-mathematical bunk.
The Surreal
World of the Progressive Left: Misrepresentation of facts, distortion of motives and general acts of
character assassination are the preferred modes of progressive discourse, as any conservative who has acquired a
public persona can attest. … Efforts by the targets of this malevolence to correct fabrications and mis-statements
of fact are guaranteed to fail nearly every time, in part because progressives don't regard their judgments as opinions
but as a received moral (and therefore incontrovertible) truth. Eventually an alternative reality is created by
this process which no one would even think to check.
How Do You Spell
F-R-A-U-D? Many politicians "stretch the facts" at some point in their careers, but this was more than that.
While Republicans do the same thing on another level — like campaigning for spending cuts and then outspending
Democrats when they become a majority — what [Congressman Paul] Kanjorski has admitted to is outright fraud.
Camelot or Cesspool? The
Kennedys recently endorsed Barack Obama, and Teddy Kennedy drew a parallel with President Kennedy —
a vision of a new Camelot rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the Bush administration. Either he was
addressing the largest group of amnesiacs ever gathered in one place in history or the media and much of
America have been eating funny mushrooms and are in the throes of a mass delusion.
Obama's
Bible Defense of Same-Sex Unions Wrong, Experts Say. Kiera McCaffrey, director of communications
for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said it is a mistake for Obama to look to the Bible as
a playbook for his political aspirations. "It seems pretty bogus using (the Bible) to justify civil
unions," McCaffrey told Cybercast News Service. "He should be using secular reasons to back it up.
"He can search the whole Bible and not find anything that justifies gay marriage or same-sex unions," she said.
Hillary's Record:
Lamenting the healthy U.S. economy, a certain senator from New York says "it takes a Clinton to clean up after
a Bush." But the Clintons' brand of soap always seems to be a mix of sleaze and socialism.
Bending The Truth:
Eyebrows were raised early this year when the Senate's chief Democratic fundraiser, Sen. Charles Schumer of New
York, was made chairman of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) — a panel on which he wasn't even a
member. The suspicion was that Schumer would scrap the JEC's serious economic analysis and make it his
own political tool that plays fast and loose with numbers.
The audacity of
phoniness. Now it turns out that [Senator Obama's] top adviser, David Axelrod, often credited
with masterminding Barack Obama's campaign strategy has a double life, too. Thanks to the excellent
reporting of Howard Wolinsky of Business Week, we know that the left wing campaign consultant by day also by
night works for big corporations, creating phony front groups to pose as community groups who just happen to
agree with his clients on controversial public issues.
Attack on President Bush Continues Past SCHIP
Veto Override Vote. Democratic Rep. Pete Stark launched a shocking one-man assault on the Bush
administration Thursday [10/18/2007], interrupting floor debate before a failed attempt to override President
Bush's veto of the so-called SCHIP bill to suggest that U.S. troops in Iraq are getting their heads "blown off
for the president's amusement."
Web of deceit: "Bush
lied, people died," has been the loopy left's mantra since 2003: The president fabricated evidence about
Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and al-Qaida's ties to Iraq to inflame support for invading Iraq.
These claims have been refuted countless times, but refuse to die. The evidence of Hussein's WMDs was so
convincing that Congress overwhelmingly approved the use of military force against Iraq and more than three
dozen countries joined the United States in liberating Iraq. … Yet the news media still take it on faith
that "Bush lied, people died."
Obama bin lottery. Obama's
South Carolina victory speech was the economic equivalent of a carnival snake-oil pitch. He promised to
"stop giving tax breaks to rich companies and instead put the money in the pockets of struggling homeowners who
can't pay their mortgages", and at the same time stop the export of American jobs overseas, while raising
everyone's wages. The crowd chanted, "Yes we can! Yes we can!" Excuse me: No, you can't.
You can't keep inefficient American factories open without massive tax breaks to corporations, in the form of
tariffs or otherwise.
A Modest
Proposal to Eco-Celebs: I'm trying to figure out why Norman Lear with a 26 car
garage insists we cut our driving and Barbra Streisand from her well-staffed mansion overlooking
the Pacific Ocean advises her fans to air dry their laundry outside. And Teresa Heinz and
John Kerry, who use a private plane to travel to their 5 mansions and SUVs, warn us all to
cut back on our energy use.
Why eco-hypocrisy matters:
This was no isolated incident, but part of what's becoming a tediously familiar pattern. It starts when
Celebrity X clambers up on a soapbox to tell the rest of us what we ought to be doing to Help Stop Global
Warming. In short order, News Outlet Y reveals that Celebrity X is, in fact, a hypocrite, owing
to her frequent private jet travel, energy-sucking McMansion, and generally outsize carbon footprint.
Hollywood Hates
the Troops. "We've killed over 400,000 of their citizens." That's what actor Tim Robbins
thinks U.S. troops have been doing in Iraq. He made the claim last week in an appearance on HBO's Real
Time with Bill Maher. He's wrong, of course. American soldiers have not been slaughtering 300
Iraqis a day for the last four years. Even for one of Hollywood's most feculent personalities, this is
an appalling slander of U.S. troops.
Harry
Reid, Gen. Petraeus, and cooking data. In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed a million Iraqis have been killed since the beginning
of the invasion. How did Reid arrive at that figure? He probably got it
from this poll. I
know of no non-poll study suggesting anything like such a high number.
10
Things a Political Junkie Hates About Politics: [Scroll down] On the Left,
comparisons of Bush to Hitler and wild claims that the United States is a fascist dictatorship
have become so commonplace as to be blasé. Allegations nearly as vile and most
certainly as false — like the United States invaded Iraq for oil and the 2000 and 2004
elections were rigged — have become so ordinary that they could fairly be said to
constitute mainstream thought on the Left.
Who Has Betrayed Whom?
The ad itself accused General Petraeus of betraying America and "cooking the books for the White House," of
lying, in other words. The Soros-backed, MoveOn folks made a number of scurrilous charges, most of which
were easily debunked by the Washington Post Fact Checker, who gave the ad a three-Pinocchio label for
dishonesty, stating that Move On's charges contained "significant factual error and/or obvious
contradictions."
Soros Unmasked. We
have learned that J Street is not the grassroots group it has made itself out to be; rather, it is but
one anti-Israel organization that George Soros had founded and funded. It isn't simply $750,000 for
J Street to advance its (or rather, Soros's) Israel-bashing agenda. There is also Human Rights
Watch. As many others have documented, Human Rights Watch is another exercise in false advertising. ... The
pattern is clear here: where there is a well-funded group seeking to undermine the U.S.-Israel
relationship, delegitimize Israel, or push for America's retreat from the world, it's a good bet Soros
is behind it.
Reid's inconvenient theory will get
House airing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has been derided for saying that
global warming contributed to last week's wildfires in Southern California. Conservative political blogs
mocked him. Skeptics complained he was using a natural disaster to push his party's energy agenda.
The Nevada Republican Party said Reid had "lost touch with reality."
Whom
to Blame for the Bridge's Collapse? Why, Bush, Of Course! Today, the federal government
passes highway bills every six years or so, replete with pork projects. The last one, passed in 2005,
included snowmobile trails and horse trails, as well as a documentary about infrastructure in Alaska.
Some of the money never gets to critical highway maintenance.
Hillary's
Texas Money Bundler. [George Berham] Parr's most ominous pistolero was his
six-gun totting enforcer, Luis Salas. Days after the polls closed, Salas added 200 votes
for [Lyndon] Johnson to Ballot Box 13 in Jim Webb County. The fact that all the votes were
recorded in the same handwriting was a clue. But the box was never examined by those who
adjudicated the election results; it had disappeared by then. Revised returns gave Johnson
a 3,000 vote margin of victory in Hidalgo County. … It all makes the chads and dimples show
of South Florida look like child's play.
Progress, Actually.
The word "benchmarks" was scarcely heard last week when [General David] Petraeus and [Ambassador Ryan] Crocker reappeared
before Congress. Crocker testified that the Iraqis have actually met about two-thirds of the benchmarks, including
four or five of the six key legislative benchmarks and all of the benchmarks measuring their contribution to their own
security. In reply, the congressmen who insisted on legislating these benchmarks now say benchmarks are a poor
way to measure progress in Iraq.
Dems
Distort Terror Report. Democrats on Capitol Hill have complained for years that the White House
"cherry-picks" intelligence. Yesterday, that's exactly what the Dems did themselves with the
just-declassified summary of a National Intelligence Estimate on terrorism.
Oscar for a
panic merchant. Take Al Gore. While this jet-setting gas-belcher was getting
his Oscar, the lights were still burning so brightly at his 20-room Nashville home that the
Tennessee Centre for Policy Research yesterday announced he used more power every month than the
average household used in a year. So let's drop the terror-mongering, and calmly check
something else. As in: is global warming really that bad, and is it really worth
the pain of trying to stop it?
Al
Gore Goes Elmer Gantry. Despite the media-crafted image of the GOP as home to
hypocritical religious demagogues, it is the Democratic Party in which more snake oil peddling
faith healers find a home, albeit disguised as non-religious in nature. Sadly, the Left's
starry-eyed faith in demagogues like Gore, the Clintons, Edwards, John Fraud Kerry, and yes,
even Obama (the White Man's Hope for Absolution of Guilt At Last), is destined to be
disappointed, time and time again.
The Inconvenient Truth About Al
Gore: This whole thing with global warming and its leading apostle Al Gore is just more of
the political left's habit of talking the talk but never walking the walk. Gore has proven time and
again to be a complete hypocrite. ... He wants you to curb your lifestyle drastically, but on the record
he's doing everything he doesn't want you to do, and doing it extravagantly.
The Editor says...
Quite simply, the "global warming" panic is a hoax.
Mary and Joseph were
not 'homeless'. This is the time of year, as Hillary Rodham Clinton once put it, when Christians
celebrate "the birth of a homeless child" — or, in Al Gore's words, "a homeless woman gave birth
to a homeless child." Just for the record, Jesus wasn't "homeless." He had a perfectly nice home
back in Nazareth. But he happened to be born in Bethlehem.
The old Democrat bait-and-switch: Clock ticking on Dems' 100-hour
agenda. The clock is ticking for House Democrats, but it's hard to tell what time it is.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was touting a plan to push six bills through a Democratic House in
100 hours or less as early as June of last year. She's reached the halfway point — in
fewer than 20 hours, according to her count. … While the House has been in session for almost
48 hours since the 110th Congress was sworn in Jan. 4, the clock on Pelosi's Web site says only
17 hours 48 minutes have elapsed. "We're just counting the legislative hours," Pelosi
spokesman Drew Hammill explained.
[Yeah, right. As if nothing gets done in Washington when the House is not in session.]
Higher Taxes, Bigger Government:
Democrats revert to form in first weeks. "The Democrats have reverted to form," said David
Strom, President of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota. "We heard a lot of noises during the campaign and
after about pursuing moderate policies, but once the Democrats started wielding real power they immediate set
to raising taxes and expanding government."
The Democrats' Big
Lie. Democratic tolerance means tolerance for secularism, but absolute intolerance for religion.
Democratic tolerance means tolerance for their supporters, but absolute intolerance for their political opponents.
The proof is in the pudding: The House Democrats are currently pursuing policies that would criminalize
religious thought and crack down on political speech. … This bill is aimed at quashing traditional
religious thought.
Democrats and
disdain. First it was John Kerry calling American troops child killers and rapists, as in the
days of "Jenjis Khan." Then there was his wife Teresa saying that Mrs. Laura Bush staying at home
raising two daughters "didn't have a real job." … Now we have Barbara Boxer, Senator from Disneyland
on The Bay, implying that a very accomplished, distinguished African American woman, Dr. Condoleeza
Rice, isn't fit for her office because she hasn't given birth to children, a condemnation she wouldn't
dare raise about the white Gloria Steinem, Donnna Shalala or Janet Reno.
What
the US Presidental hopeful HASN'T said about his father... It is a classic story of the American
dream made real: an impoverished Kenyan goatherd rising to become a brilliant Harvard-educated economist.
On the way he fights racial prejudice at home and corruption at work, survives the heartbreak of a broken
relationship and, despite it all, leads the fight to rid Africa of its colonial legacy. … Yet an
investigation by The Mail on Sunday [1/28/2007] has revealed that, for all Mr. Obama's reputation for
straight talking and the compelling narrative of his recollections, they are largely myth. … And,
devastatingly, the testimony has come from Mr Obama's own relatives and family friends.
'Borking' Kerry
Healey. Ted Kennedy announced over the weekend that Kerry Healey, the Republican candidate for
governor of Massachusetts, is guilty of "swiftboating." … Apparently he was accusing Healey of trafficking
in contemptible slurs that no one with a shred of decency should be associated with. If so, he used the
wrong word. The term for engaging in groundless character-assassination isn't "swiftboating." It's
"borking."
The Top 1% ... of What? As many
others have done, Virginia's Democratic Senator-elect Jim Webb recently complained in The Wall Street Journal
of an "ever-widening divide" in America, claiming "the top 1% now takes in an astounding 16% of national
income, up from 8% in 1980." Those same figures have been repeatedly echoed in all major newspapers,
including The Journal. Yet the statement is clearly false.
Barack
"blank" Obama and disingenuous politics of "understanding". Who is Barack Obama? He is a
cipher running as a shaman. He has been in the Senate for two years. He has virtually no voting
record; he has virtually no articulated positions. Ask his advocates, and they will describe him as "a
breath of fresh air" — but ask them about a single position he holds, and they will stare at you as
though you are speaking in tongues. They will tell you, however, that Obama "understands" every
position you hold.
Pathetic
liberal sissies. Liberals, who in large part are people devoid of true substance and belief,
who also have great contempt for God, morality and truth, are often unable to deal with facts that reflect
poorly upon them.
A
new low in Bush-hatred. George W. Bush has been smeared by the left with every insult
imaginable. He has been called a segregationist who yearns to revive Jim Crow and compared
ad nauseam to Adolf Hitler. His detractors have accused him of being financially entwined
with Osama bin Laden. Of presiding over an American gulag. Of being a latter-day
Mussolini. Howard Dean has proffered the "interesting theory" that the Saudis tipped off Bush
in advance about 9/11. … What else can they say about Bush? That they want him
killed? They already say it.
The
standard against which all other monsters are measured. It is therefore not only inappropriate but
utterly preposterous to compare Bush to Hitler. But this is how things are in America today. Bush is
likened to the German leader while the true monsters we are fighting that actually warrant measurement against
Hitler — Osama bin Laden and his followers — are instead called insurgents, freedom fighters or
jihadists. Many of us don't even call them terrorists any more!
Anti-poverty vapors:
Everybody knows President Bush and the Republican Congress have chopped poverty spending to finance massive
tax cuts for their wealthy friends. … Once again, what "everybody knows" turns out to be false.
Heritage Foundation budget analyst Brian Riedl actually looked at social spending under Republican control.
What he finds is as astonishing as it is counterintuitive: Under the mean, nasty, coldhearted
Republicans, expenditures on the poor have zoomed to record levels. In 2004, 16.3 percent of the
federal budget went to anti-poverty efforts. This figure never has been higher.
Postmodernism: Rejecting
objective truth is the cornerstone of postmodernism. In essence, postmodern ideology
declares an end to all ideology and all claims to truth.
The liberal case study — one big
dysfunctional family. [Al] Gore practices vicious demagoguery when it comes to private enterprise,
yet he campaigns on the "strong economy." He hates "big oil" but owns $500,000 worth of Occidental
Petroleum stock. He argues for better housing for the poor — except for his impoverished
tenants. He is strong on the environment — except when it is an income-producing mining
operation on his property.
Reviews of Al Gore's new movie can be found
at the bottom of this page.
The Truth is Alien to
the Left. In George Orwell's 1984, Big Brother constantly reminded the citizens that "ignorance
is strength" to diminish the public's desire to know the truth. Adherence to this principle kept the
government in control and the citizens in the dark. Liberals now employ the ignorance strategy to
distort the truth and deceive the public on all manner of issues, including the global war on terrorism,
the economy and tax policy, border security and illegal aliens.
The Great
Prevaricator. Clinton's now-famous Lewinsky lie makes for an instructive comparison because it
reminds us that this man, this former U.S. president, is a peerless prevaricator. "Clinton's an unusually
good liar," said former Democrat Senator and Medal of Honor recipient Bob Kerrey. "Unusually good."
Indeed. Even The New York Times once lamented Clinton's "mysterious passion for lying" and for "lying
about his lies." And the liberal New Republic's Andrew Sullivan noted, "From the beginning, Clinton has
lied with indiscriminate abandon."
The Clinton-Gore
deceitful fundraising sideshow. Congressional Democrats and their supporting political
organizations … could have aided in successfully executing the war against radical Islamist terrorism in
an effort to bring it to a more immediate conclusion, but they didn't. They could have helped to heal
this country after the hard-fought and contentious elections of 2000 and 2004, but they didn't. They
could have put the good of the country ahead of their political ambitions, but they didn't. And now they
want your money so they can, "move the country in the right direction." Yeah, right. And
Al Gore invented the Internet.
Hillary,
Not as in the Mount Everest Guy. For more than a decade, one piece of Senator Hillary Rodham
Clinton's informal biography has been that she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Mount
Everest. The story was even recounted in Bill Clinton's autobiography. But yesterday, Mrs.
Clinton's campaign said she was not named for Sir Edmund after all. … Sir Edmund became famous only
after climbing Everest in 1953. Mrs. Clinton, as it happens, was born in 1947.
Middling
mummery: When Sen. Hillary Clinton, New York Democrat, began to readjust her campaign rhetoric
to reinvent herself as a born again centrist, few bothered to check out whether she had shifted rightward in
her voting record, too. With rare exceptions, she hadn't. Her rhetoric had changed around the
edges, as when she talked about finding common ground with right to life advocates. But "her voting record
on abortion issues didn't change one iota," said an official at the National Right to Life Committee.
A Christian Can Be a
Christian or a Liberal, But He Can't Be Both. For the "Christian" to lean politically to the
left means that he must blow off huge chunks of the Bible and replace the scripture with the make-believe
notions of postmodernism's malleable "Christ." Only after torturing the scripture can the Christian
then fit liberalism into his supposed relationship with God.
The
sleaziest ballot measure in America. Are voters stupid? The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
and the city's League of Women Voters apparently think so. Both groups are pushing Proposition R
on L.A.'s ballot next Tuesday. Prop R is the ultimate test of whether the slick power elite in the
City of Angels can fool the people into voting to weaken the city's eight-year term limits law by not telling
voters what the measure actually does … by pretending that it "establishes" term
limits already established.
Ford
called himself a lawyer but did not pass the bar exam. Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Harold
Ford Jr. referred to himself as a lawyer earlier this week, but the congressman has not passed the bar
exam. Michael Powell, senior adviser to the Ford campaign, said U.S. Rep. Ford took the Tennessee bar
exam in February 1997 and failed. He said that was the only time Rep. Ford has taken the test.
Minnesota Democrat Caught Stretching the
Truth. One of Minnesota's top Democrats is catching grief after getting caught on tape
telling a lie or, as he put it, "sanding off the truth." Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson
was recorded assuring a group of pastors that several state Supreme Court justices had told him they
would not legalize gay marriage.
Why Democrats
win. America is not, as the current version of conventional wisdom claims, a centrist nation.
It is an essentially conservative nation, or at least conservative in the way such terms are defined these days
and in comparison to other affluent democracies. Roughly twice as many Americans identify themselves as
"conservative" compared to "liberal"…. Few candidates run for political office in America as
unrepentant liberals; almost all claim to be in some way conservatives.
The
myth of the big bad drug companies. The pharmaceutical industry is getting bad press. Recent
books … have harshly condemned the industry for recklessness, insensitivity and all-consuming greed.
They gain sales by spicing up their titles with inflammatory phrases about "deception," "complicity" and how
drug companies "endanger your health."
Which Party Has a "Culture of Corruption"?
This subsection is now on a page of its own,
located here.
Bamboozled
Obama's big black lie: I have been predicting for three years now that Obama will most likely
be part of the presidential ticket in 2008. He's got everything that democrats look for in a candidate,
looks, charm, and the uncanny ability to distort truth like few have seen since William Jefferson Clinton.
In fact Obama may be better at it than Clinton.
Righting
Clinton administration's wrongs won't be easy. He convinced his cabinet, party leaders and
wife to lie for him on television. He committed perjury under oath, was impeached by the House, and
was several votes away from being convicted by the Senate. … He disregarded the advice of his staff,
disrespected the Office of the President and became a punch line worldwide embarrassing America and
Americans. Though a terrific orator and someone many Americans believed, he was really only a
snake oil salesman.
Hillary asks gay
activists for marriage amendment help. [When New York residents] call her office her spokespeople
say that she supports marriage — she just doesn't wish to see the federal government over reach.
Right … Ms. Universal Healthcare wants government not to intrude!
A confused
party. Democrats deserve an A for effort, but their strategy isn't likely to succeed. In
addition to the flagrant untruthfulness of their allegations, they still aren't presenting an alternative
policy agenda.
Dispelling
myths about American soldiers. Myths abound when it comes to military personnel in the
modern American armed forces. Most are in some way related to recruiting new soldiers, who's
fighting, and who's dying.
President
Bush: From "dunce" to "dictator". [The Democrats] eventually figured out that
depicting Bush as hopelessly dim would make it tougher to demonize him personally (it's hard to hate
a hapless moron). … In no time, Bush went from stupid to stubborn — "a man unwilling to
admit his mistakes," "mistake" being defined as any implementation of conservative policy.
Why the low
jobless rate challenges Left and Right: The latest jobless rate —
4.7 percent — is at a five-year low. Yet, despite this and other good
economic news, the Left is frantic to repeal the Bush administration's tax cuts. In fact,
even if every single economic indicator were better than at any time in American history,
the Left would still want to repeal the tax cuts.
The myth
of the level playing field. The term is cliché, but it is an extremely misleading
one. The sports analogy implies that everyone should be required to play by the same rules; that
all competitors should have approximately the same equipment for the contest. Who could object
to that? Well, anyone who understands that this is simply not how the world works.
Enough with the
distortions. [Democrats] habitually misrepresent what they stand for and what Republicans
stand for, and constantly mischaracterize President Bush's actions. If they had confidence in the
salability of their ideas, would they need to play word games, resort to euphemisms, revise history,
distort facts and repeat patently false charges?
Are facts
obsolete? People who urge us to rely on the United Nations, instead of acting "unilaterally,"
or who urge us to follow other countries in creating a government-run medical care system, often show not the
slightest interest in getting facts about the actual track record of either the UN or government-run medical
systems.
A higher
calling: Sadly, there is recurring evidence that to liberals, one's political predilections
trump everything else so that if you stand for the right things, you are virtually exempt from scrutiny.
… The religious fervor of the left, in its high evangelical mode of spreading the gospel of
liberalism, can be seen in its willingness to ignore the facts in furtherance of advancing its dogma.
On the use and
abuse of labels: When it comes to the issue of race, liberals have a field
day. Many of them believe that conservatives, by definition, are racists. Some
believe that Republican candidates speak in code to appeal to the presumed racism of red
state rednecks. For their part, liberals sometimes don't even bother with
code. They just come out and say that a vote for a Republican is a
vote for another black church to burn.
The clay
feet of liberal saints. To be sure, Martin Luther King Jr. deserves his place among
American heroes. But it's worth noting that what makes him an American icon, as opposed to
purely a liberal one, is his vision for a colorblind nation. And colorblindness is no longer
a core tenet of the American left. President Kennedy was hardly the liberal of Oliver
Stone's imagination. And his brother, Bobby, was more hostile to civil liberties
than John Ashcroft, eagerly wiretapping Americans, including King.
So Hillary Speaks For Jesus on Immigration
Now? This one simply tickled me. Hillary made claims that by enforcing tougher immigration
laws, we are in effect transgressing against Jesus Christ. Here is a woman, who has spoken to the entire
nation about adhering to biblical principles with a history that would shame the devil himself. So I
would like to find where Hillary gleaned her knowledge of scripture and question what she has said when what
I have read and learned is contrary to her statement.
Hillary plays the name
game. A donation to Sen. Hillary Clinton can be the gift that keeps on giving. That's
because New York's celebrity senator uses one of the least-known but most common political fund-raising ploys
that helps squeeze every last cent from her prolific hat-passing: She sells the names of donors.
Bill Clinton Finally Comes Clean — Sort
of. In perhaps his most revealing interview since leaving office, former president Bill Clinton said
Wednesday [7/7/2004] that during the early days of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he felt he had no choice but to
lie about his relationship with the former White House intern, because if he had told the truth, "the
overwhelming likelihood is that I would have been forced from office."
The myth
of the bigoted Christian redneck. Ten years and another stunning Democratic
defeat later, and liberals are at it again. The Angry White Male has been transmuted
into the Bigoted Christian Redneck.
A Lack of Vision or Democratic
Chicanery? The winner the last time Republicans split to a third party candidate gave us
environmental restrictions that are one of the root causes of the pain you are feeling at the gas pump
today. It gave sensitive missile technology to China. It entered into a joke of a nuclear arms
agreement with North Korea, saw our soldiers slaughtered in Mogadishu and allowed Osama bin Laden time and
sanctuary — in Sudan, Pakistan and Afghanistan — to bring to fruition a plan that
slaughtered 3000-plus Americans on 9/11.
Clinton
vet: Pets were just props. The Clintons were not the animal lovers
they appeared to be in those family photo ops walking with first dog Buddy on the
South Lawn, a former White House veterinarian says. Turns out the former first
couple didn't allow Buddy or first cat Socks in the White House residence,
according to the Army vet.
Avoiding
the Liberal Label: Does it matter that [Melody] Townsel is a liberal Democrat
and founder of the Dallas chapter of Mothers Opposing Bush? Maybe not. … But it
matters a lot that most news outlets withheld her partisan connections in reporting the
story. … Many liberal groups often go unlabeled in the media, as if they were somehow
unbiased and uncommitted.
Sticks
and stones: Have you noticed the irony in the Left's hollow screams about
the alleged dishonesty of conservatives — when they have demonstrated again
and again that they have little respect for truth?
Republicans
Should Go On The Offensive. Among Democrats however, too much opportunity for political
grandstanding is presently available to be discouraged by such comparatively trivial concerns as the
lives of the American people, both on the streets of its cities and in the battlefields where the terror war
is presently being fought and won. Of sole importance is the potential prize of political
dominance. So a bit of "collateral damage" among their fellow citizens is apparently a
small price to pay.
CNN's
'Gay' Slash. Comedian Bill Maher's malicious snipe on the "Larry King Show" that Republican Party
boss Ken Mehlman is gay was pulled from CNN when it aired in later time zones and expunged from transcripts.
After telling King Wednesday night [11/8/2006] that the GOP was secretly run by hypocritical gays, Maher turned
his tongue on Mehlman — after a little prodding from King, who asked for the names of the
homosexuals to whom Maher was referring.
The difficulty
of intellectually engaging the Left. One of the more appealing aspects about being on the
Left is that you do not necessarily have to engage your opponents in debates over the truth or falsehood
of their positions. You can simply dismiss your opponent as "anti."
Delusionary,
insulting liberals. It's amazing what liberals will do, say and put up with
to remain politically correct. … There are myriad examples in the San Francisco area. There
are constant reminders of how incredibly insulting liberals are to anyone with common sense, two eyes
to see and a brain to comprehend.
Why I am not a liberal: This
may prove to be the toughest challenge of all. For me, it is like explaining why I am not a communist,
or why I am not a Nazi. Where does one begin?
Truth "Is". I believe
that Bill Clinton is such a good liar, he will lie when the plain spoken truth would serve him better.
Come on, Bill, you did not sleep on the couch — you only claimed that you slept there to make things
seem more dramatic — more exciting to the reading audience. You wanted more sympathy. You
wanted to paint yourself as having been appropriately punished, or as a victim.
"Flip-flopping"
defines Democrats. When you compare Republican and Democratic candidates over
the last 25 years, it's hard not to notice a major difference. The pressure
within the Republican Party has been to promote politicians willing to take strong
conservative positions, even if they turn some people off. The pressure in the
Democratic Party has been to promote candidates who can be all things to
all people.
Proud to be a
conservative. Liberals have become so accustomed to having only their own points of view
disseminated by the mass media that they now believe that any opinion in conflict with their own is an
infringement on their right to free speech. So not only do they feel entitled to spout off
ad nauseam, but honest disagreement is regarded as censorship!
Liberals' Use
of Words is an Effective Tool in Promoting Radical Ideologies. Let's
face it, liberals over the years have been effective in requiring the public and the
media to use terminology they have reinvented to engage in philosophical debate. While
the spectrum might be broad, it is clear that liberals' use of philosophically friendly words
has gone a long way in winning over people who may never have entertained liberal ideology
in the first place.
The Left doesn't
support the troops and should admit it. Liberals, Democrats and others on the
Left frequently state that they "support the troops." For most of them, whether they
realize it or not, this is not true. They feel they must say this because the majority
of Americans would find any other position unacceptable.
Distractions
and hypocrisy. Do you remember how many times during the Clinton years Democrats told us everyone
lies about sex and that Republicans were shamefully distracting the Clinton administration by harping on White
House cover-ups about sex with an intern? Well, we have far worse distractions now being promoted by
Democrats about far less important matters and during far more dangerous times.
Pathology of the Left: Generally,
liberals tend to be mentally rigid and closed-minded because they are insecure, the result of low self-esteem
associated, predominantly, with fatherless households or critically dysfunctional families in which they were
not adequately affirmed. They exhibit fear, anger, and aggression — the behavioral consequences
of arrested emotional development associated with childhood trauma. Liberals display pessimism, disgust,
and contempt for much the same reason.
Schumer Confesses
to Not Understanding the Constitution. United States Senator "Chuck" Schumer
broke his own stupidity record the other day following President Bush's announcement of John
Roberts nomination to the Supreme Court. In a tag-team appearance with Senator Pat
Leahy (D. Vt.), ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee, Schumer confessed to
the Nation that neither he, Leahy, nor the Democrat party for whom he spoke, understands
a fundamental principle of American constitutionalism: separation of powers.
The
Left's Tactics on Judicial Warfare: The Left has a history of distortion — of
both words and a nominee's record — so you can't assume that they mean what you mean or
what they say is the truth.
Fighting
the Good Fight. We've always known winning the war on terror would be difficult. But
hearing critics such as Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., claim that "we're making no progress at all" in Iraq,
you'd think it was impossible. Fortunately, the pessimists are wrong.
Liberals are lying about the economy
Not only politicians, but union leaders and the embedded media.
Note: This subsection was created when George W. Bush was president, and the liberals were lying about how bad the economy was.
(If only we could go back to those days!) Now that Barack H. Obama is president, the liberals are lying about how good the
economy is, and how remarkably low the monthly unemployment numbers are. That resulted in another page:
Lies about "stimulus" money and job creation.
Democrats say
we're losing the war and our economy stinks. Most economists define a recession as three
consecutive quarters of falling real gross national product. Yet for the last 10 quarters,
the economy grew at an average of more than 3 percent, with the latest quarter coming in at
4.3 percent. Inflation and interest rates remain low, with homeownership at an all-time high.
Kerry Makes Bogus Comparison to Great Depression.
He claims US suffers greatest job loss since the 30's, which is not true. John Kerry didn't make it
through the third paragraph of his formal announcement speech before stumbling over a key fact about the U.S.
economy. … Comparing the current job slump to the Great Depression is ludicrous.
The
Big Lie About The Great Depression. The Depression lasted nearly a decade longer than it should
have, due almost entirely to governmental meddling under both Herbert Hoover and FDR. High tariffs and
government-sponsored deflation followed by enormous taxation and unthinkable government expenditures turned
a stock market stumble into a decade-long nightmare.
Kerry: Worst Economic Record Since Hoover.
For more than a year, as far back as his speech Sept. 2, 2003 formally announcing himself as a candidate
for the nomination, Kerry has been making bogus comparisons to the Great Depression, overstating the number of
payroll jobs lost during Bush's tenure, and (once jobs started growing again last August) falsely claiming
that the new jobs pay $9,000 less than those that were lost, a claim unsupported even by the evidence he
cites from a pro-labor think tank.
Herbert Hoover never had it so
good. According to Dick Gephardt, "Bush has lost more jobs than Herbert Hoover — almost."
On that "almost" (Gephardt is only off by about ten million jobs) hangs a prodigious amount of partisan spin
and most of the Democratic economic case against George Bush.
Worst Job Records
Since The Great Depression? "The President has the worst jobs record since the Great Depression,
and the economy is slowing due to the housing slump." The budget and trade deficits as well as public
debt levels have all climbed to record levels," Pelosi said. [Oh, really?] Unemployment is
down to 4.4%. 92,000 new jobs were created in October; 470,000 new jobs over the last three months.
Our economy has now added jobs for 38 straight months.
Black
Friday poised to be best in years. This year's 'Black Friday' could be the strongest opening to
the holiday shopping season in years, if the droves of American eager to exploit early-bird specials are any
guide. Terry Lundgren, chief executive of Federated Department Stores, told Reuters he arrived at the
company's flagship Macy's Herald Square store at 5:30 a.m. to find lines wrapped completely around the
building, which takes up a whole city block.
That wouldn't happen if the economy was in bad shape. One-day sales on the day after Thanksgiving
were about $8 billion in 2005.
New phenomenon is just the same old double talk. Democrats have couched their
ideas in favorable language for decades. President Bill Clinton, for example, was a master at getting folks to see the world as he wanted them to see it. Of course,
Clinton's communications skills set a high bar. But that doesn't mean other Democrats haven't tried to frame the public debate. Does anyone believe Al Gore's
"risky scheme" and John Kerry's "Stronger at home, respected abroad" were anything other than market-tested slogans?
Lured to Disaster.
Behind the housing boom and bust was one of those alluring but undefined phrases that are so popular in
politics — "affordable housing." It is hard for me to know specifically what politicians
are talking about when they use this phrase. But then politics is about evoking emotions, not examining
specifics. In looking back over my own life, I find it hard to think of a time when I didn't live in
affordable housing.
What, me
apologize? The United States Senate has passed a resolution … apologizing
as an institution for preventing the passage of anti-lynching legislation. We are
still waiting for the Democratic Party to apologize for its role, which is far greater
than that of the whole Senate, inasmuch as all the senators who prevented action to
abolish lynching for all those decades, were Democrats.
Soros
Assails Critics for "Endangering Our Country". Billionaire political activist
George Soros, at the center of a controversy involving the alleged use of American taxpayer
dollars to support needle exchange programs, Thursday [5/12/2005] accused his critics
of "bigotry" and said they were "endangering the country."
Ending
a losing streak: The left is on another losing streak today, and so their
intellectual leaders in the liberal media have gone back to the old playbook for an easy
win that will get their team out of its slump. This time, it is the rich getting
richer and the poor getting poorer, which has been working for them since the days
of Karl Marx.
The storm over
poverty: Forty years after a myriad of Great Society programs, the fact is
that many people are still poor — about the same percentage as back in
1968. Unfortunately, those who see government as the solution for every problem,
especially those caused by their last attempted solution, have never let results,
inconvenient facts, or common sense get in their way.
Liberal
attitudes. Liberals may think of themselves as people who believe in certain
principles but, if you observe their actual behavior, you are likely to discover that most
liberals have a certain set of attitudes, rather than principles. Liberals may
denounce "greed," for example, but in practice it all depends on whose greed. Nothing
the government does is ever likely to be called "greed" by liberals.
Cynicism
exposed: Mona Charen's incisive new book, "Do-Gooders," is about the enormous
damage done by liberal social policies from the 1960s on, but it is also about the shameless demagoguery
unleashed against those who have dared to oppose the liberal agenda or reveal its failures. Examples
range from cynical lies about judicial nominees to the biggest big lie of our time, the claim that
black voters were "disenfranchised" by Republicans in Florida during the 2000 elections.
Rock
the Victim mentality: On the heels of the AARP, NOW, NAACP and other left-leaning
groups' hysteria over Social Security reform and personal retirement accounts, the Rock the
Vote campaign is latching on to the issue and misinforming a whole new generation.
Are Liberals
Destroying the Democratic Party? I don't remember anyone arguing that Bill Clinton should cancel
his 1996 inauguration because of the violent conflict in the Balkans or the terrible genocide in Rwanda, in
which 800,000 were murdered while the UN and the US did nothing. … President Bush is not under attack
because he's having an inauguration during a war. He's being attacked solely because Liberals hate the
man personally, along with everything he stands for.
The left is worth
nothing. Since I was an adolescent, I have been preoccupied with evil: specifically, why
people engage in it and why other people refuse to acknowledge its existence. As I have gotten older, I
often find the latter group more infuriating.
Naysayers are tight-lipped since
success of Iraq vote. Skeptics of President Bush's attempt to bring democracy to Iraq have been
largely silent since Iraqis enthusiastically turned out for Sunday's elections. Billionaire Bush-basher
George Soros and left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore were among critics of the administration's Iraq policy who
had no comment after millions of Iraqis went to the polls in their nation's first free elections in decades.
The Truth About Wages: Under
Republican administrations, liberal critics would have laid the blame for any decline in wages
directly on the doorstep of the president. However, [Bill Clinton's] Labor Secretary Robert
Reich attempted to deflect blame by pointing the finger at Big Business. "The owners of
capital are registering huge gains while ordinary working Americans are seeing their
incomes fall," he said.
Bush
vs. Clark's kooks. Turning reality upside down is easy when you live
in the world of people like actress Janeane Garofalo, who proclaimed on MSNBC just
hours after the inauguration festivities: "George W. Bush is unelectable, in my
opinion." This isn't dissent. It's beyond denial. Welcome to
liberal dementia.
Translation
of the Democratic Response to President's State of the Union Speech. One
integral theme emerged from the Democratic response to President Bush's State of the
Union address: the party's underestimation of the American people to solve their own
problems and to see through liberal rhetoric. Let's just look at what they were really
saying on the various issues once you strip away the generalities and euphemisms.
Moyers and the party of
gloom. Speaking at Harvard recently, Bill Moyers, a preacher in the Church of Unreconstructed
Liberalism, painstakingly constructed a straw man and then bashed it to pieces.
COPS Makes for Crooked Cops. COPS, borne
of President Clinton's 1992 campaign promise to put 100,000 new police officers on the street, has been
troubled from the outset. It hasn't come close to fielding that many new officers. And its
objectives — to curb neighborhood crime by encouraging innovative and effective
policing styles — haven't been met.
The Destruction of Jeff Gannon: The
campaign against Jeff Gannon demonstrates the paranoid mentality and mean-spirited nature of the political left.
Market Myth: Worst Economy Since The Great
Depression? To hear John Kerry tell it, America is mired today in the worst economy since the
Great Depression. How dumb does he think voters are? We just set a record for yearly
production: a GDP of nearly $12 trillion, or $120,000 per family. As for what really counts,
personal well-being: A record 69 percent of Americans own their own homes, and the account balance
in the average 401(k) plan is $77,000, up 22 percent in three years.
Editor's Note: No
doubt you have seen news footage of large crowds of people surging through the doors
of department stores when they opened on the morning after Thanksgiving. Some stores opened
on Thanksgiving Day and were crowded all day. My family and I visited the Galleria in north
Dallas on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and the place was packed! Four parking garages
were full, and there must have been at least 50,000 people inside. But during the 2004
presidential campaign, John Kerry and the Democratic Party told us that we were in the
worst economy since the great depression. Obviously, the Democratic Party was lying to
the American people in an attempt to win the election by any means necessary.
(Flashback to 1992. Then-candidate Bill Clinton repeatedly referred to the
economy as the worst since the Great Depression. It worked.)
Making a Dent in Liberal
Disinformation: Worst Economy and Jobs. While some Democrats still rail about the economy
and the more loose-lipped critics still refer to it as a disaster, the steady economic growth has muted most of
the harsh criticisms of the president's impact on the economy. First it was "Bush's recession," then when
that bottomed quickly and the recovery began, spurred by tax cuts, the critique morphed into, "Yeah, but it's a
jobless recovery." When the jobs started coming back, the complaint evolved again into, "Well,
manufacturing still is losing jobs." Then, when manufacturing gained jobs, it was "Sure, but these
new jobs are all flipping burgers."
Making a Dent in Liberal
Disinformation: RatherGate. By now you should know the story — the blockbuster memos
CBS "unearthed" for 60 Minutes II last Wednesday were immediately spotted as being suspiciously like
something created on Word. CBS denied, saying they had been authenticated by one of the purported author's
fellow officers, who subsequently said he never saw them, and after seeing them felt they were fraudulent.
Don't Confuse Me With the
Facts. Liberals constantly call for more money for education when every statistic shows that
money is not the answer (just look to Washington, D.C.'s schools and the $13,000 per child spent to achieve
some of the nation's lowest test scores). Libs talk down the economy when indices like home ownership,
real income, and unemployment are better than the average in any of the past three decades. They claim
that we are no safer today, ignoring the fact that we have not had the expected major terrorist attacks since
9/11/01 and the government has thwarted dozens of plots.
Making a Dent in Liberal
Disinformation: Voter Disenfranchisement. Democrats have never been known to cast
fraudulent ballots, eh, Mayor Daley? We won't go into the NAACP allegedly paying Chad Staton in crack
cocaine to register such stalwart Dems as Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, and Janet Jackson in Ohio. Or the
8,000 fraudulent Democratic voter registrations discovered in Lansing, Michigan. That's "Get out
the Vote."
Lying About the Draft.
The first question about the draft is ... why? We have an active military of about 1.4 million men
and women today. This is down from the peak of 2.1 million in the mid-1980s. Did we have a
draft then? No. Did Reagan need a draft to ramp up from the lower levels from the Carter
years? No. Would we need a draft to get back up to that force level, assuming that we
had to? No.
The Left's Fairy Tale:
Former Senator Max Cleland scared up Colorado college students in 2004 with tales that "America will reinstate the military
draft" during a second Bush term. However, the only proponent of the draft in Washington was Charlie Rangel, an
antiwar Harlem Congressman who ultimately voted against his own bill when Congressional Republicans called his bluff.
Rangel
turns 80 ... he just doesn't know when. According to his birth certificate, Rep. Charles Rangel
(D-N.Y.) turned 80 this past Friday. But according to Rangel, his birthday is sometime in August.
He's just not sure when. "As far as I'm concerned, my birthday is the day of my big summer fundraiser,"
he told ITK. "I just can't remember the exact date of it this year."
The Editor says...
If he says he doesn't know his own birthday, he is obviously either lying or he's senile, and
in either case, he is unfit for office.
Conservatives don't always wear
black hats. Most commentators don't understand what it means to be a conservative. When you
listen to newscasters or read newspaper accounts of such matters, it seems that "conservatives" are simply the
people who want bad things and the liberals are the ones who want good things.
On the use and abuse of
labels. Liberals don't usually call conservatives merely "conservatives." That's because the
term, standing alone, is not a pejorative. Instead, we are "extremists," "bigots," "homophobes," "racists"
and "intolerant." And these labels, unlike the conservatives' general invocation of "liberal," are usually
gross distortions.
Cultural issues confuse the
liberals. Democrats seem to be leaning toward the idea that Bush's victory is based primarily on
turning out religious nuts to vote for him. These people are viewed in certain Democratic quarters as the
American Taliban. It is thought that if they gain political power, not only will abortion and gay marriage
be banned, but so will dancing, rock and roll, and any movie with an "R" rating. This is nothing but
nonsense, but is commonly believed in places like Hollywood and New York's upper west side.
Amoral media, lowlife fans,
spoiled athletes and beer. Let's finally stop repeating the false notion that big business has
conservative values. Big business has no values. ... Liberals perpetuate the falsehood of big business as
conservative for three reasons: They have a materialist view of the world (just about everything is
explainable by economic status and motives; it aids in getting people to vote Democrat); many people resent the
amorality of big companies; and it seems to counter the argument that the major news media are
liberal — "How could the news media possibly be liberal when they are all owned by
large corporations!"
Former
Brooklyn Democratic boss sentenced to prison. A former assemblyman and head of the
Brooklyn Democratic Party was sentenced on Wednesday [1/10/2006] to two to six years in prison for
separate convictions on campaign corruption charges. At two trials in state Supreme Court last
year, juries found Clarence Norman Jr., 54, guilty of stealing $5,000 that was donated to his
re-election committee in 2001, and of trying to conceal $10,000 in contributions.
The Left's Lies
That Never Die: I'm sick of hearing the myths spun endlessly by the left
repeated over and over again, often by people who ought to know better. So here,
once again, is another attempt to set the record straight.
Coulter Stirs Up a Storm: For about
two decades, name-calling has been the principal policy position of liberals. If [Republicans] oppose the
National Endowment for the Arts, we're said to hate art. If we oppose the Department of Education, we hate
teachers. If we oppose the Environmental Protection Agency, we hate the environment.
Socialist Myths, Capitalist Truths: Capitalism
is profoundly egalitarian. Its existence relies on institutions that protect the equal rights of consumers
and producers, eschews privilege and authority, and distributes wealth based on each participants' contribution
to satisfying the needs of others. So we should immediately be suspicious of claims that capitalism
causes inequality.
The Double
'Thank-You' Moment. I suspect ignorance about economics leads many to believe that when two
people exchange goods and money, one wins and the other loses. If rich capitalists profit, the poor
and the weak suffer. That's a myth.
New Lies of the Old Left: In
the 1960s, the "New Left" came to prominence on America's university campuses. Today, those New Left radicals
are America's tenured university professors. They populate the newsrooms of the television networks and
our once-great newspapers. More disturbing still, the New Left now comprises the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
Political
demagoguery: Our unemployment rate, which the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
put at 5.4 percent in September, is one of the lowest in the world and in our history. France's
unemployment rate is 9.4 percent, Germany's 9.9 percent and Italy's 8.6 percent. Our
Canadian neighbor's is 6.6 percent. The only reason for today's hysteria over jobs is
because it is an election year, and one of the ways politicians gain power is to create
fear among the electorate. The next time you hear a politician whining about our "awful"
job climate, ask him which European country we should look to for guidance in job creation.
The myth of the
stolen election: The Democrats seem determined to keep the 2000 election issue
alive, even though it failed miserably as a rallying cry against Jeb Bush, who won a
resounding 56% to 43% re-election victory in the 2002 Florida Governor's
race. It is worth examining the mythology and the real, not-so-ancient history
of the "stolen election".
Jobs
and snow jobs: Senator John Kerry says that he would create 10 million
jobs if he were President. But Presidents don't create jobs.
Political
Litmus Test: Bluest States Spilling The Most Red Ink. Want to know which states are in the
worst financial condition? One telling indicator that might not immediately come to mind is whether most of
its citizens identify themselves as Democrats. The five states in the worst financial condition —
Illinois, New York, Connecticut, California and New Jersey — are all among the bluest of blue states.
How much do you know about Senator Joseph McCarthy?
It's
Time to See Joe McCarthy For the Hero He Was. No matter how much evidence vindicating the late Sen. Joe McCarthy comes
out, what we call McCarthyism remains anathema in American life. Simply to utter the word is to deep-freeze debate, even thought
itself. Even as we learn about the history-changing extent to which American traitors working for the Kremlin penetrated and
subverted the U.S. government (including many individuals investigated by McCarthy), the unsupportable fact remains that nothing in
American public life is worse than to be compared to the man best known for his uncompromising fight against the secret, massive
assault on our nation.
The Venona Secrets: The fact is Joe
McCarthy was right, but by now his name has been turned into a dirty word by the same liberal, leftist
propaganda machine that today is trying to convince Americans the President "lied" to them about Iraq.
Joe McCarthy was Right. The
release of transcripts of closed-door hearings conducted by Senator Joseph McCarthy gave the media another
opportunity to charge that the Wisconsin Senator made reckless charges about communists that destroyed the lives
of innocent people. But many of the stories about the hearings and McCarthy were far more reckless,
inaccurate and misleading than anything he ever said or did.
Of "Treason" & Tailgunner
Joe: What the Left calls McCarthyism — smearing an enemy on false or non-existent
information — has been its stock-in-trade since the Left invented the term to destroy its great
antagonist, the ex-Marine and Wisconsin senator known as Tailgunner Joe.
Joe McCarthy, Freedom Fighter. A
couple of years ago, I debated a professor from American University named John Doolittle who, prompted by
me, admitted that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wisconsin (1909-1957), may have exposed some real communists
working in the federal government. "But I saw the Edward R. Murrow broadcasts," Dr. Doolittle added.
"He was a bad man." Veteran journalist M. Stanton Evans, who has studied more of the government files
from that era than Dr. Doolittle or his peers, or for that matter, Edward R. Murrow himself, have ever
seen, reaches a different verdict.
History
Shows Joe McCarthy's Reputation is Undeserved. McCarthy understood, long before Reagan, that the
Soviet Union was an evil empire, one of whose strategies was to infiltrate agents into our government in order
to guide our policy to favor Communist goals. In fact, our government was much more infested with Soviet
agents than McCarthy imagined.
The Real McCarthy Revealed.
Near the start of "Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's
Enemies," Evans asks, "Can we in fact name one certifiable communist McCarthy ever came up with in all his speeches and
contentious hearings?" According to Evans, "it's indeed hard to cite one such person — just as it's
hard to eat one potato chip or salted peanut." He then provides a list of 10 McCarthy targets that turned out,
indeed, to have been spying on this country.
We need more
hearings on Islam. Holding hearings into Islamic "radicalization" is not an exercise in "McCarthyism,"
as widely and deeply misunderstood. That's because the investigative efforts of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the most
unjustly maligned man in American history, to reveal extensive networks of Kremlin-directed agents seeking the
destruction of the republic isn't "McCarthyism," either. The term, hyper-loaded to invoke Salem,Mass.-esque
"witch hunts" of free-thinking innocents, is a hoax. Documents released from U.S. and Soviet archives prove
that the communist conspiracy of "witches" was, in fact, real.
Caught
Red-Handed. A collaborator of the Rosenbergs admits his previously unknown Soviet espionage
more than 60 years after the fact. It's just the latest revelation that the anti-communists of
that era were right.
The unraveling of Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack
Hussein Obama II: [Scroll down] The truth is that communist infiltration of and through the
U.S. government, particularly the State Department, was and remains a legitimate threat to America. A
106-page confidential memo dated 3 August 1946, written by State Department official Samuel Klaus,
detailed the alarming levels of communist infiltration into American government. ... As noted by M. Stanton
Evans, author of Blacklisted by History, that memo would mysteriously vanish from our nation's
records. Mr. Evans notes that this historic memo is not in the legislative panel file of the Tydings
panel, located in the National Archives of the U.S., and was also removed from the files of Samuel Klaus,
the author of the memo, from the National Archives in March of 1993, nearly a half century after
it was issued.
It's the toxic culture that's
killing our kids. Although Sen. Joe McCarthy is always linked in the minds of Americans with the Hollywood blacklist
he had nothing to do with it. His communist allegations involved the party members in Congress. It was a House of
Representatives committee that rightly sought the communist connections in the movie industry. If you're wondering why
our culture is so toxic today, the entertainment industry has long been the means and end for the Marxist agenda taught in
academia and aimed at our youth.
Wendy Davis
She's a Democrat State Senator from Fort Worth who wants to be the Governor of Texas. Not likely, in my opinion.
Mayor of Austin, perhaps, but at the rate she's going, she will never be the Governor.
'Nationalized,
partisan and polarizing': Return of liberal hero Wendy Davis sets up Texas slugfest. Wendy Davis, the famous
filibusterer, is hoping her pink sneakers can turn a slice of Texas blue. A liberal hero who gained a national
following with her 13-hour stand against a pro-life bill in the state Senate in 2013, Ms. Davis tried to channel that
notoriety into a bid for governor a year later. She was crushed, losing by more than 20 percentage points. Now
she's returning to electoral politics, announcing last week that she has set her sights on Washington and the House seat held
by freshman Republican Rep. Chip Roy, in what analysts say could be a high-spending ideological slugfest.
Great
news: Wendy Davis launches House 2020 bid "for our children". "I'm running for our children and grandchildren,"
Wendy Davis concludes at the end of her campaign launch video, "so they can live and love." Er ... who wants to tell her?
The woman who temporarily blocked the Texas state legislature to protect late term abortion will run for Congress next year, hoping to
unseat freshman Republican Chip Roy: [...] You know what allows more children to "live and love and to fight for change themselves"?
Being born! That's especially true when those children reach the gestational stage of survival. Make no mistake about it —
Davis is running to ensure that fewer children live even before they get to the stage of loving and "fighting for change."
'Abortion Barbie'
Wendy Davis Running for Congress 5 Years After Landslide Loss. Former Democratic Texas State Sen. and failed
gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has decided to run for Texas' 21st Congressional District. The announcement came
from Davis' confidant Marc Winkelman at a Gala for the Texas Observer, according to Dallas Morning News reporter Lauren
McGaughy Thursday [6/6/2019]. Davis rose to prominence in 2013 for her filibuster of a 20-week abortion ban bill being
considered in the Texas Legislature at the time. The live stream of the filibuster was tweeted out by then-President
Barack Obama and led to widespread media coverage.
Wendy Davis
Mulls Congressional Run. You may remember Wendy Davis, the State Senator whose gubernatorial run resulted in a
21 point defeat by now Governor Abbott. All the press wishcasting and fawning couldn't save Davis and her pink
Nikes. After Beto put up a solid fight against Sen. Cruz in 2018, there was chatter about a Davis Senate run,
seeing as Sen. Cornyn is up for re-election in 2020. But it's not the Senate Davis has in her crosshairs,
according to a report in the Texas Tribune, Davis is "looking very seriously at Congressional District 21."
Wendy
Davis: Notion That Human Life Begins at Conception is "Absurd". Texas abortion activist Wendy Davis was back on the road
this week advocating for abortion and the nation's largest provider of it, Planned Parenthood. Davis stopped in Charleston, South
Carolina on Thursday [4/27/2017] to speak at a fundraiser/celebration for the abortion chain's 100th anniversary, the Post and Courier
reports. Davis is a former Texas state Senator who rose to the national spotlight several years ago when she filibustered a Texas
pro-life law that banned late-term abortions and required abortion facilities to meet basic health and safety standards. After a
failed attempt to run for Texas governor, Davis has been active in the pro-abortion movement.
Wendy
Davis: Trump Benefited From An 'Undereducated Electorate,' Which Is A Right Wing Conspiracy Or Something.
Former Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis is the last person to be offering election commentary, especially since she
wasn't able to clinch 40 percent of the vote in her doomed bid against Republican attorney general (and now governor) Greg
Abbott. The former Democratic Texas state senator, who rose to national prominence for her filibuster against a late-term
abortion bill, said that President-elect Donald J. Trump benefited from an "undereducated electorate," which once again shows
that some Democrats simply don't get it.
MSNBC
lets Wendy Davis take abortion victory lap. MSNBC's coverage of the Supreme Court striking down Texas' recent
abortion law Monday included a triumphant victory lap by failed gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, whose 11-hour filibuster
against the regulations in 2013 earned her high praise from the cable news network. The Supreme Court ruled 5-3 this
week that Texas' recently enacted abortion law, HB2, unconstitutionally limited a woman's access to abortion under
Roe v. Wade.
Wendy
Davis Invokes God To Push Abortion. On Monday [4/18/2016], abortion-enthusiast heartthrob and former Texas
state senator Wendy Davis invoked God to help push her abortion crusade during an interview with Jezebel. Davis
lamented the lack of progress of the pro-abortion movement, but assured the Leftist outlet that women like her "can get
knocked down, but by God, we can get back up and we fight to see a new day. Apparently, God is giving Davis and
others like her the strength to "get back up" and fight for abortion.
Wendy
Davis Hypes Abortion At Notre Dame. In a personal moment, Davis told students she aborted her more than 20-week-old daughter
"out of love." "[I was] post-20 weeks of pregnancy of a much-wanted pregnancy that I had waited years to have, and ... our very
much-wanted child was suffering from a fatal fetal brain abnormality," she said. "What we were told was that if our child survived
delivery, which she would likely not, that she would live a life of tremendous suffering — if she lived long at all —
and we made a decision out of love." [...] The Catholic Church teaches that all human life, including unborn children with disabilities,
"must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception," and that abortion is never permissible. The Catholic
pro-life group Human Life International (HLI) describes the abortion of children specifically because of their disabilities as "nothing
more than eugenics, discrimination of the basest kind."
The Return of Wendy Davis.
Davis, you'll recall, became a national celebrity for wearing pink sneakers onto the Texas senate floor to fight for the
"right" of mothers to kill their unborn children at will. She managed to leverage that stardom into one of the more
humiliating political campaigns in recent years, losing her governor's race to Texas attorney general Greg Abbott by
20 points and 1 million votes. Now, after a much-appreciated disappearance from the public eye, Davis
is back, and in the midst of a busy media week.
Wendy
Davis Fined $5,000 for Ethics Violation. The Texas Ethics Commission has fined former
state senator and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wendy Davis $5,000 after finding "credible
evidence" that she failed to include her relationship with two lobbyists on financial disclosure
forms filed during her 2012 senate re-election campaign. The commission issued an order detailing
its findings and the fine on Thursday [5/7/2015], nearly three years after a complaint was filed by Davis'
Republican opponent, Mark Shelton, who narrowly lost the election to Davis by 2 percentage points.
Wendy
Davis Hits Roadblocks as She Tries to Launch Speaking Career. Democrat Wendy Davis,
who was at the receiving end of a double-digit pummeling in the 2014 Texas Governor's race with
Republican Greg Abbott, is attempting to launch a new career as a professional speaker. However,
the speakers agency she is seeking to represent her has made comments that seem to indicate they are
not entirely sold on her viability.
Wendy
Davis only supported open-carry to get elected. "There is one thing that I would do
differently in that campaign, and it relates to the position that I took on open-carry," Davis told
the San Antonio Express-News on Monday [12/29/2014]. "I made a quick decision on that with a very short
conversation with my team and it wasn't really in keeping with what I think is the correct position on that
issue." Davis added that she does support "people's right to own and to bear arms in appropriate
situations," but fears that open carry would be used "to intimidate and cause fear." Is that what
she thinks of Texans?
If anyone cares... Wendy
Davis expects to stay in politics. Texas hasn't seen the last of Sen. Wendy Davis, who said Monday
[12/29/2014] that she can't imagine leaving the public arena even after her loss in the governor's race.
Hey GQ,
can't find any crazy Democrats? Here are 16. [For example,] Gubernatorial nominee
Wendy Davis: Approved a disparaging ad that featured images of a wheelchair like the one her
opponent Greg Abbott has had to use for years since a freak accident. The ad was credited
with adding five points to Abbott's huge margin of victory.
From
Hero To Zero: Wendy Davis Wins Texas Monthly's 'Bum Steer of the Year'. How quickly
things change. A year ago Texas State Senator Wendy Davis was the darling of the liberal media, the
Democratic Party, and the future governor of Texas. She all because during the summer of 2013,
armed with a catheter, she stood up on the floor of the legislature for eleven straight hours just to
protect a woman's right to kill babies before they're born. But now its the end of 2014 and Davis ran
a campaign that was worse than amateurish against an opponent she wouldn't have been able to beat even if she
ran a perfect campaign.
Wendy
Davis did win something in 2014: 'Bum Steer' of the year. Wendy Davis began the year
with a big New York Times Magazine cover story, and she ends it with another big cover story and an
only-in-Texas "award." The "Bum Steer" award (Rick Perry won in 2012) from Texas Monthly is a
fitting end to a terrible, terrible, terrible campaign that left Davis, Texas and national Democrats
wondering why they bet so big on Davis to begin with.
How
the Democrats Lost Texas. Two weeks ago, Democrats took a walloping in Texas. Wendy
Davis, the Lone Star State's Democratic star a year ago, got just 38.9 percent of the vote —
some 283,000 votes fewer than the party's gubernatorial candidate four years ago and 200,000 less than Democratic
Texas Gov. Ann Richards obtained in her losing re-election effort nearly two decades before that. Even more
disappointing: Davis got more votes and a higher percentage of the vote than any of the other 11 Democratic
candidates on the statewide ballot.
Wendy
Davis's campaign was even worse than you thought. Consultants for Democrat Wendy Davis
warned her campaign months ago that the Fort Worth senator was headed for a humiliating defeat in
the Texas governor's race unless she adopted a more centrist message and put a stop to staggering
internal dysfunction. [...] Addressed to then-Campaign Manager Karin Johanson, the memo warned that
the Davis campaign had "lurched to the left," was failing to communicate a positive message and
offered virtually nothing to the swing voters the [state] senator would need to win statewide.
With
her epic fail, Wendy Davis painted Texas redder. From the top of the ballot on down,
the wreckage from the Democratic effort was strewn across the state from Texarkana westward to El Paso.
Mrs. Davis carried only 18 of 254 counties, 10 fewer than the party's gubernatorial candidate four years ago.
Leaked
Memos from Wendy Davis Consultants Warned of Major Problems. A pair of leaked
memos — written at the beginning of the year by two consultants to Democrat Wendy Davis'
failed campaign for Texas Governor — paint an extremely unflattering picture of a
"dysfunctional" campaign team. The memos describe an effort "not ready for prime time," saddled with
messaging that is radically out of touch with Texas, and headed to an embarrassing defeat against
Republican Greg Abbott.
The
Lessons Of Wendy Davis. Davis' campaign could not have had more mainstream media
support. After her filibuster of the late-term abortion ban, she was profiled and praised on nearly
every major network and cable news outlet, in nearly every major political magazine, and throughout
the websites and print editions of the country's top newspapers. The profiles asked roughly zero
tough questions of the candidate. The Washington Post, the newspaper that famously dismissed the
arrest and subsequent murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell as a "local crime" story, couldn't
seem to stop finding new and varied reasons to cover Davis. One of my favorites was their story
on the best Amazon reviews for the pink shoes Davis wore while trying to make sure women could procure
late-term abortions for any reason.
Wendy
Davis Campaign Blames Loss on Ebola. Texas State Senator Wendy Davis was steamrolled
in her bid to become the state's next governor, and it appears that her staff believes Ebola has
something to do with the failure of her campaign.
The
'War on Women' Failure Is a Very Bad Omen for Democrats' Future. As things started to look really bad for
Democrats in the waning days of the midterm election, we started to hear complaints that Democratic candidates had focused
too much of their effort on flogging the idea of a Republican "war on women." [...] No one built their campaign around
the "women's issue" of abortion rights more fully than Wendy Davis in Texas. She went down in flames, which included
losing the votes of Texas women by nine points. She lost among married women by 25 points, which indicates the
shallowness of making birth control and abortion into a campaign issue.
Everything
Is Bigger in Texas — Like, for Instance, Wendy Davis's Loss. It is
difficult to think of a more overexposed candidate in the 2014 election cycle. We knew (from the
get-go) that she was a publicity-stunt actress with show-stopping athletic shoes made famous when
she spoke for eleven hours in favor of a woman's "right" to kill her unborn child. We knew that she
was the type of woman who leaves her husband and children in Texas to attend Harvard Law School,
then divorces said husband the day after he pays her final law-school bill.
What Went
Wrong With Battleground Texas? No statewide Democrat came close to toppling a
Republican opponent. That list of Democrats included Wendy Davis, who entered the governor's race
with more national attention than any Texas Democrat in recent memory. With Battleground Texas as
her field operation, Davis earned a smaller percentage of the vote — and fewer votes
total — than former Houston Mayor Bill White, the party's gubernatorial nominee in 2010.
Wendy
Davis Was The Face Of 'War On Women' Politics. How'd That Go? No one better
encapsulates the Democratic playbook than Wendy Davis, who ran for governor of Texas. Her campaign
was launched in vintage War on Women style. By filibustering a popular late-term abortion ban in
Texas, she immediately gained the support of many in the mainstream media. They feted her with free
in-kind advertising in the form of puffy profile pieces, cover stories, and other effusive coverage.
A
Rejection of Liberal Democratic Governance. Remember Wendy Davis, the Democratic state
senator in Texas who filibustered against an anti-abortion law that catapulted her to media stardom?
She ran for governor and lost to former Texas state attorney general Greg Abbott by 20 points.
And her state senate seat went Republican.
Wendy
Davis didn't even win Texas women. Wendy Davis lost her bid for Texas governor as soon
as the polls closed Tuesday night (actually before that, but this made it official), and one of the
most interesting pieces of information from the early exit polls was that she didn't even win the
women vote. Davis, who rose to fame after an 11-hour filibuster of a bill that would ban
abortions beyond 20 weeks (five months), was supposed to be the perfect "war on women"
candidate for Democrats. But Texas women chose otherwise.
CNN
Calls out Davis, Grimes for Most Shocking and Dishonest Ads of 2014. Alison Lundergan
Grimes (D., Ky.) and Wendy Davis (D., Texas) received top, or maybe it was low, honors from CNN's
The Lead Monday [11/3/2014] in a discussion of the most dishonest and shocking political ads
of the 2014 cycle.
What
happened to Wendy Davis? Texas' once-rising star set to fall. Davis's task was
always going to be a tough one. On Tuesday, Republicans will likely sweep all statewide
offices — governor, lieutenant governor, comptroller, agriculture commissioner, land
commissioner, and attorney general. But her failure to make the race closer might damage her
political prospects both in Texas and beyond.
Wendy
Davis: Dreams from my Uterus. In Forgetting to be Afraid, Ms. Davis casts
herself as an intrepid innocent carrying the burden of a struggling family on her slender shoulders.
But the title doesn't match the storyline. She doesn't give much evidence of fearlessness, except
fearlessness of being hot to trot from a young age, as she became sexually active in adolescence.
Because gynecism is a dimension of socialism, Wendy Davis' story has a subtext of a failed family
being replaced by a protective socialist state. [...] If Texans want such a pitiable woman for their
governor, than Texas has become equally pitiable.
Could
Wendy Davis sink Battleground Texas? Democrats thought Wendy Davis could speed up
their efforts to turn Texas blue. Instead, she may prove a drag on the most prominent group chasing
that goal. Davis could lose her bid for the governor's mansion by double digits on Nov. 4,
leaving Battleground Texas, the grassroots-focused organization that essentially serves as her campaign's
field arm, with a high-profile loss in its first major electoral effort in the Lone Star State.
America
is officially over Wendy Davis. If you're looking for proof that Texas Democratic
gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis' fifteen minutes of fame have passed, look no further than her
dismal book sales. Davis' new book, titled "Forgetting to be Afraid," has sold only 4,371 copies
since its release on Sept. 9, according to Nielsen BookScan figures obtained by Slate.
Latest
Attack Ad from Davis Claims Abbott Doesn't Want Blacks to Vote. With the election only
days away, Democrat candidate for Texas Governor Wendy Davis is holding nothing back in her efforts
to attack her Republican opponent Greg Abbott. The challenge for Davis is that her past attacks have
either been largely ignored by the voters, failed to stick after being debunked, or, backfired on
her, as was the case with her "empty wheelchair" ad and an odd attempt to paint Abbott —
whose wife is Hispanic — as opposing interracial marriage. Now, in a new radio ad,
Davis alleges that Abbott does not want black Texans to vote.
Twilight
of the Froot Loops. On Tuesday, it is all but inevitable that Greg Abbot's campaign
and Texas voters are going to beat Wendy Davis like a circus monkey, and it will be her second
significant defeat in the campaign: She ran triumphantly unopposed in the New York Times primary,
with Robert Draper all but kissing the hem of her garment, but she took a beating in the Rio Grande
primary, with her penniless nobody opponent outperforming her in critical border counties that had
gone heavily for Barack Obama in the presidential elections. Bipartisan lesson: If you are
going to run a horsepucky media creation as a single-issue candidate, pick a single issue that doesn't
stack voters up against you four to one.
Up In Flames.
Wendy Russell Davis is on fire. And I don't mean that in a good way. [...] The Democratic darling of
the Hollywood Left and glamour gal of abortion thought her path to the Texas governor's mansion
would be a pink-sneakered walk in the park. Instead, her single-issue campaign has combusted.
How
Wendy Davis became the Todd Akin of the 2014 midterms. Davis was an obscurity in the
Democratic Party before her 2013 filibuster of abortion regulations that threatened Texas clinics
with closure. Fascination with her shoes exceeded that normally given to the Roman Pontiff's
footwear. The money poured in. Here was a national figure for the moment, a Joan of Arc
ready to win the War on Women. Alas, social issues are not enough. Polls show that Attorney
General Greg Abbott, an anti-abortion Catholic, is attracting as much or more support from Texas women as Wendy
Davis. She has tried pushing other hot-button issues, going so far as to suggest that Abbott opposed
legal interracial marriage.
Having nothing to lose... Texas'
Davis says she would welcome Obama visit. Democrat Wendy Davis said Wednesday [10/22/2014] she
would welcome President Barack Obama campaigning for her in Texas after largely keeping distance
from him throughout her underdog run for governor.
A
Voting Guide from the Hidalgo County Democrats Doesn't Include Wendy Davis. Greg
Abbott has made clear that he hopes to win the Rio Grande Valley in next month's Gubernatorial
election. While the current Attorney General is still leading at the polls statewide, his
determination to take the Valley — the bluest region in Texas — is a tall task.
Whither
Wendy Davis? If you happen to be in Texas on November 5, the day after voters head to
the ballot box, fear not. That Lonestar State-sized whooshing noise you hear will be the
sound of Wendy Davis's gubernatorial campaign disappearing down the memory hole.
Davis
ad is wrong on Abbott's settlement. A recent television ad by Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Wendy Davis has been widely condemned for basing its attack on the fact that her
Republican opponent, Greg Abbott, suffered a serious accident 30 years ago and must use a
wheelchair. The ad relies on many distortions, especially the claim that Abbott supports legal
reforms that block others from recovering damages in cases similar to his own. Contrary to Davis'
attack, the laws that governed Greg Abbott's lawsuit remain unchanged on similar facts since the day
in 1984 when he was struck by a falling tree. Abbott recovered a settlement for ordinary negligence,
a claim governed today by rules no different than those applicable to similar facts today.
Abbott
Endorsed by Davis' Hometown Newspaper. The good news keeps coming for Greg Abbott, Texas' Attorney General
and the heavy favorite to be the state's next governor. After a week of negative backlash against an attack ad run
by his Democratic opponent, State Senator Wendy Davis, Abbott enjoyed a bump in fundraising, website traffic, and
volunteer sign-ups, and now has the endorsement of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Davis' hometown paper.
Wendy Davis is falling
apart. Mistakes happen on the campaign trail. Any politician in the national spotlight
is bound to make one or two. The mark of a truly skilled politician, however, is one who can take
their lumps, adapt, move on, and rebound from that error. Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Wendy Davis is not a skilled politician.
Wendy's wheelchair woes.
Davis chose to run an ad showing an empty wheelchair while noting that Abbott won a $10 million
insurance judgment after an accident that left him a paraplegic. It then accuses him of "working
against other victims" as attorney general — as if his accident means he has to side with
every other plaintiff, regardless of the merits. Abbott's real sin? He's overcome difficult
circumstances — and refused to sign on to the Left's victim-based identity politics.
Andrea
Mitchell Is Skeptical That Greg Abbott Is Actually Disabled. Earlier today
[10/14/2014], Alex Griswold told you about Wendy Davis doubling down on her campaign-imploding "Look
at the cripple" ad. Or tripling down, or quadrupling down, or however many times it's been at this
point. She told Andrea Mitchell that the ad was "fair." Oh, and Abbott is "working to kick that
ladder down." Well said, Wendy. But believe it or not, Mitchell said something even dumber.
Is Andrea Mitchell
A Wheelchair Truther? Wendy Davis' campaign released a scathing ad earlier this week criticizing
Greg Abbott's paralysis. But according to MSNBC, her opponent's disability may not be legitimate.
MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell spoke with Davis about the ad on Tuesday [10/14/2014], asking the candidate's use
of the "stark image of the wheelchair" was meant to point voters to Abbott's "own supposed disability."
Michelle
Obama backs Wendy Davis in new radio ad. First Lady Michelle Obama lends Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy
Davis some star power in a new radio ad going up in the Lone Star State, spotlighting the Davis campaign's focus on education issues.
Wendy Davis: Way Over
the Line. My opponent wishes to rape women, but he cannot, because he is crippled.
That's the gist of Wendy Davis's argument for why she should be elected governor of Texas over her Republican
opponent, Greg Abbott. Needless to say, the people of Texas have not been too receptive.
Wendy
Davis Ad Uses Empty Wheelchair to Attack Greg Abbott. Democrat gubernatorial candidate
Wendy Davis has just launched a new attack ad against her opponent, Republican Greg Abbott, that
features an empty wheelchair. Abbott, the current Attorney General of Texas, has been a
wheelchair-bound paraplegic since 1984 after a tree fell on him.
After
Horrendous Wheelchair Attack Ad, Wendy Davis Uses Disabled People as Props. As Guy
[Benson] extensively detailed last week, Wendy Davis released an ad attacking her disabled opponent
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott by featuring an empty wheelchair. As a reminder, Abbott is
paralyzed from the waist down due to a tree falling on him during a run in 1984. After extensive
backlash and outrage by the left and the right over the weekend, including the far-left media outlet
Mother Jones, Team Wendy is digging deeper and doubling down with human props.
Abbott
Strikes Back With Devastating Ad: Wendy Davis is Unfit to Be Governor. Democrat and
liberal hero Wendy Davis is facing enormous backlash after an ad featuring an empty wheelchair was
released last week by her campaign in an effort to attack her disabled opponent Texas Attorney
General Greg Abbott. This week, she's doubling down on the ad and even gathered people in
wheelchairs to use as human props during a campaign event Monday [10/13/2014]. Now, Abbott is
hitting back with a devastating television ad of his own which features a slew of liberal media
clips condemning the ad and Davis' campaign as a whole. At the end of the ad, the statement is made
that Davis is a "unfit" to be governor.
Mika
Brzezinski Savages Wendy Davis Wheelchair Ad: "I Cringed Watching That". Monday's
Morning Joe panel roundly criticized Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis' new ad that
prominently displays a wheelchair, a reference to opponent Greg Abbott's debilitating injury. The ad
criticized Abbott, who received a large settlement after a falling tree branch paralyzed him, for
championing legislation that limits awards on legal settlements, though the ad's hypocrisy argument
is getting drowned out by its visuals.
In
Case You Missed It, Wendy Davis' Run for Governor Ended in a Meltdown Friday. Not only
did Wendy Davis meltdown at the mere mention of her own record, showing an intemperate side that
would wear thin quickly with daily exposure, she signaled that if she were ever entrusted with
executive authority of any kind in state government, she would not hesitate to shred state law and
the Constitution if she found them to be in the way of pursuing her leftwing agenda. Davis would
form a government unto herself and just ignore precedent, current law, and the people's representatives
in the legislature.
Wendy Davis Melts
Down, Talks Over Moderator During Debate. On Friday Texas' Attorney General Greg Abbott and State Senator Wendy
Davis — both gubernatorial candidates — debated in the state's Rio Grande Valley. During the course
of the debate, the issue of education came up. After hearing what Abbott had to say, a defensive Davis spoke when she
was not supposed to and even interrupted a moderator multiple times — despite being told that it was not her turn to speak.
The Editor says...
At least liberals behave consistently: When they perceive they are losing an argument, they start shouting (usually about
something irrelevant, immaterial, or off-topic) and decorum goes out the window.
Abbott:
Davis book tour violates state law. A dispute over Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Wendy Davis' book tour intensified Thursday as her Republican opponent, Greg Abbott, accused her in
a formal complaint of violating state election laws. In a filing with the Texas Ethics
Commission, Abbott campaign manager Wayne Hamilton alleges that Davis, a state senator from Fort
Worth, "converted political contributions to her personal use" in violation of state law.
Even NOW has doubts about
Wendy Davis' chances. We previously noted that Wendy Davis struggled with female
support in her bid to defeat Greg Abbott. The most recent polling shows the two more or less
even among women — not good enough for Davis to have any chance of winning.
Wendy
Davis's Convenient Abortion Stories. [Scroll down] "Women who have abortions are tragically 154 percent
more likely to commit suicide than women who do not have abortions. They are also 144 percent more likely to abuse
subsequent children and 500 times more likely to suffer from substance abuse after their abortions, according to a 2000
report in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse," [Emily] Horne explains. Other studies have shown that mental
illness is common after women have abortions. For example, 2006 and 2008 studies showed links between abortion and increased
levels of counseling, marijuana use, and symptoms of mental illness. Likewise, a large Chinese study that looked at thousands
of women found that having experienced an abortion within the twelve months prior to a new pregnancy led to a 97 percent
greater chance of depression in the new pregnancy.
Wendy
Davis Lies About Her Favorite Football Team. Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate
Wendy Davis lied about her Dallas Cowboys fandom, according to information flagged by her Republican
opponent Greg Abbott's campaign. "I heard the coach the other day talking about the fact that he
couldn't make any promises about what he and the team would be able to accomplish this year," Davis
said in a KCTK radio interview Wednesday. "I certainly wish our Cowboys the best. I grew up
cheering for the Cowboys and I haven't stopped since, and I'll be cheering for them again this year."
But wait a minute. Davis' daughter Amber told Vogue in August 2013 that the family is a bunch of New
England Patriots fans, which would make sense since Davis was born in West Warwick, Rhode Island.
Is
Wendy Davis' political star fading in Texas gubernatorial race? As a feisty state senator with pink sneakers and
a fist in the air, Wendy Davis captured both the love and the ire of America last year when she pulled an 11-hour filibuster of
anti-abortion measures in the Texas Capitol. But after using that star power to win her party's nomination for governor,
Davis is still struggling to take a lead over Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott, and some say party confidence in her
race is waning.
Something's Missing from
Wendy Davis Ads — Wendy Davis. There's something weird about the Wendy
Davis campaign's recent ads. Have you seen them? If not, you probably will soon. We're at the
stage of the campaign where candidates start to open their coffers. This is the most expensive race
in Texas history, and at the top of the ticket, Davis has amassed a small fortune, which is absolutely dwarfed
by the Abbott's much larger fortune. These campaigns are set to run a formidable air war against each other
come the fall, and it's starting. But Abbott's cash advantage — he had $35.6 million to
Davis' $11.1 million mid-summer — means he can run pretty much whatever he wants, when he wants.
Wendy
Davis Says She May Withdraw Texas National Guard From Border If Elected Governor.
Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis on Thursday [8/7/2014] questioned the deployment of 1,000
National Guard troops on the border with Mexico to curtail illegal immigration and she promised, if elected,
that she will study withdrawing them. The troop contingent was promised a month ago by current Republican
Gov. Rick Perry, and it is expected that in the coming days they will begin to be deployed along the Texas-Mexico
border, which stretches some 2,000 kilometers (about 1,240 miles).
Wendy Davis plays rape
card on Greg Abbott. The Davis campaign knows they need to capitalize on shock value,
but strategists on both sides of the aisle have serious doubts about whether or not this ad is
sending the right message to undecided voters: [...] The Davis campaign is banking on being able to
play off the emotions of voters, but, as mentioned above, this ad may be striking the wrong chord
with both victims and victims' advocates. It's harsh, and takes over half the ad to get to the
tenuous connection between General Abbott and the featured rape.
Ms. Davis, it's over.
Remember when Wendy Davis was going to be the point of the lance in turning Texas purple? Well,
that's over. It's finished. Her Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott,
is beating her by double-digits.
Davis Money Haul Less Than
Advertised. A day before fundraising reports were made public in the Texas governor's race, the campaign
of Democrat Wendy Davis boasted that the Fort Worth senator had outraised Republican Greg Abbott over the last few months
and hauled in $13.1 million for their fall battle. The actual reports, published online Wednesday morning
[7/16/2014], told a different story.
Wendy
Davis staffer previously pleaded guilty to illegally obtaining an opponent's credit
report. A Wendy Davis staffer once pleaded guilty to posing as former Republican
National Committee Chairman Michael Steele online in order to illegally obtain his credit report.
Lauren Weiner, who was a researcher for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2005, pleaded
guilty in 2006 to obtaining Steele's credit report by fraud. At the time, Steele was lieutenant
governor of Maryland, and was making an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate from that state. [...] But it
appears that incident didn't dampen her political future with Democrats. Weiner has had several
jobs since then, including as a spokeswoman for Americans United for Change.
Hollywood
Liberals Forking Over Big Bucks For Wendy Davis. Some of Hollywood's wealthiest
liberals are forking over big bucks for Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Texas,
according to campaign finance reports recently filed by the campaign. Among those who have
donated directly to Davis: singer Barbara Streisand ($1,000) and musician James Taylor ($15,000).
A number of other celebs have given money to the Texas Victory Committee, a joint effort of the
Davis campaign and the group Battleground Texas.
No
Wendy Davis at Obama's appearances in Texas. President Obama came to Texas but
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis did not show up. [...] We can conclude that all of
those plans to turn Texas blue may have to wait a bit longer.
Democrats
writing off Wendy Davis as viable candidate to win Texas governor's race. Wendy
Davis, the Texas Democrat who made national headlines with her staunch opposition to pro-life
legislation brought by Republicans, has seen her star power fade a bit in recent months, as party
colleagues say not so quietly: She doesn't have a chance at all to win the governor seat.
Wendy
Davis Campaign Mgr abandons ship as poll shows 12-pt Abbott lead. The Wendy Davis
ship has been sinking ever since her personal narrative was revealed to be, at best, inventive.
The water level appears to have reached the deck, because her Campaign Manager has abandoned ship,
as the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Wednesday: ["]State Sen. Wendy Davis' campaign for
governor abruptly switched gears Wednesday as it struggles to meet the high expectations that
supporters have for the Fort Worth Democrat.["]
Wendy
Davis hosted by Hollywood stars. Director Steven Spielberg is among the hosts of the "celebration and
fundraiser honoring Davis" on the rooftop of the Bad Robot in Santa Monica, California. Besides Davis, it benefits
Battleground Texas, dedicated to making Texas competitive for Democrats. The tab for hosts is $25,000, while
contributions range down to $1,000 at the "friend" level.
Wendy
Davis Once Blocked Resolution Supporting 'Under God' In Pledge Of Allegiance. Texas
gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis once blocked a resolution in her hometown that expressed support
for using the phrase "one nation, under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. But her campaign tells
The Daily Caller that Davis did not object to the resolution over philosophical grounds —
she "believes the entire Pledge of Allegiance is constitutional," a spokesman said — but
because she didn't think it was a relevant issue for the Fort Worth City Council to take up.
Pro-Wendy Davis Group
Links GOP Candidate to Cancer. Progress Texas last week released an attack ad implying that Attorney General
Greg Abbot [sic] was potentially responsible for the deaths of cancer patients, an attack reminiscent of smears leveled at
Mitt Romney in 2012. The advertisement attempts to link the misallocation of funds at the Cancer Prevention and
Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to Abbot [sic].
Wendy
Davis has Some Explaining to do on Ethics. Texas has a part-time legislature, and inherent in
any state with a part-time legislature is the potential for conflicts of interest. Unless a
legislator is personally wealthy, they must hold a job, which inevitably leads to their consideration
of a bill that impacts their industry or company directly. Texas ethics laws are lax and have
loopholes. Legislators rarely recuse themselves on votes. It is one thing for that to
happen with one of 150 Texas House members or one of 31 Texas senators. For governor, candidates
should be held to a higher standard. The contrast on ethics could not be more striking in the race
for Texas governor.
Uh
Oh: Wendy Davis' Spokesman Just Quit. Can you blame him? After a quick and unexpected rise to prominence
(filibustering a late-term abortion bill, naturally) Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis' polling
numbers have been consistently underwater. But now, however, she trails her Republican opponent by double digits
overall and by eight points among women — that is, according to a recent left-leaning
poll — which is never a good sign.
Blue on blue: Wendy Davis'
camp slams DGA. [Scroll down] What's "happening on the ground" is Wendy Davis is losing, and it doesn't
appear to be especially close. Also interesting about [Vermont Gov. Peter] Shumlin's assessment is the notable absence
of two other Western states from the DGA's radar: New Mexico and Nevada. Both blue states are governed by popular
Hispanic Republican incumbents, and Democrats have all but given up on unseating either of them.
Davis
spokesman resigns from campaign. Bo Delp, spokesman and former communications director for
Sen. Wendy Davis' campaign for governor, has resigned. Delp said it was "an honor" to work for the
Democratic senator, who faces Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott. He said that he is confident
in her candidacy and that he will support her "wherever and whenever possible."
Is Wendy Davis'
campaign about to fall off a cliff? Normally, that whiff of scandal would not be enough to derail a
campaign. But coming on top of Davis' other problems, it's a distraction she doesn't need.
Report:
Wendy Davis caught up in FBI investigation. The FBI is probing past legal work done by
Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, according to a report her Republican opponent's campaign
calls a "bombshell." The Dallas Morning News reported Friday that documents "related to Sen.
Wendy Davis' work as a lawyer for the North Texas Tollway Authority are part of an FBI inquiry of
the agency." The news outlet said it's unclear how much this investigation revolves around Davis,
the Democratic nominee for governor.
FBI probe of NTTA includes Wendy Davis file, Travis DA's
office says. Documents related to Sen. Wendy Davis' work as a lawyer for the North
Texas Tollway Authority are part of an FBI inquiry of the agency, Travis County officials say.
It's not clear whether Davis' work for the tollway authority is a focus of the FBI or only part of
the material collected in connection with its look into tollway agency operations.
As
state senator, Davis voted on bills that aided clients. When Wendy Davis chose to work
for local government agencies as a lawyer, she promised she would "not represent anyone on any
issues" that came before the state. But Davis, the state senator who is the Democratic nominee for
governor, has voted on bills affecting clients and her law firm's bottom line. Records show Davis
supported legislation governing a toll-road project for which the North Texas Tollway Authority
hired her firm.
Dallas
Morning News Editorial Board Eviscerates Wendy Davis. Turns out that Davis was
actually fairly critical of the North Texas Tollway Authority, and in 2011 had introduced a bill to
cap NTTA fees on delinquent tolls, which she subsequently withdrew six days after the NTTA hired her
firm. Davis then threw her support behind an alternative bill that the NTTA preferred. Davis also
said in August 2013 that she would "put my law practice on hold" if she decided to run for governor,
and that she "wouldn't be gaining any financial benefit from that relationship." But records show
that Davis made more than $150,000 from her firm, Newby Davis, in 2013.
Wendy
Davis Ethical Questions Surface. Despite promises to the contrary, it appears that State Senator
Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) voted on bills that affect her clients and favorably impact the bottom line of her
law firm. "I have never done anything in a way that represents a conflict in my voting and something that
would benefit me personally," she said in an interview, but state records seem to tell a different story.
Abbott
Seeks Photo of Davis With Obama. "Despite stating unequivocally just last month that she would not avoid
having her photo taken with President Obama, this week Sen. Davis did just that," the Abbott campaign said. "Instead,
she met with the President behind closed doors and did not allow any press coverage. We are hoping that a White House
that claims an 'unprecedented' commitment to transparency will hold itself to a higher standard than Sen. Davis apparently
does."
Those who have no chance of being elected are immune
from Obama's political poison. Obama meets with Texas
gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis. President Obama met privately Thursday with Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis,
the Democratic nominee for governor, amid accusations by her GOP opponent that she's afraid to be seen in public with the
president. A White House aide said Mr. Obama "visited briefly" with Ms. Davis following his remarks at the LBJ
Presidential Library in Austin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The meeting took place after
reporters traveling with Mr. Obama had been moved into vans, so they didn't witness the meeting.
Wendy Davis not shy
to be seen with Obama. Democratic activists said she may have lost some areas to her primary opponent,
Reynaldo Madrigal, who was nowhere to be seen on the campaign trail, because he has a Latino name that may have attracted
many of the voters along the border. Another factor may have been her support for abortion rights, which is a
complicated issue for the heavily Catholic population of Hispanics in the region and which Republicans have highlighted.
Wendy Davis Accuses Ted
Nugent of Being a 'Sexual Predator'. Texas State Senator and Democrat gubernatorial candidate Wendy 'Abortion Barbie' Davis has shown
that she strongly possesses two traits: pathological liar and hypocrite. These traits are often revealed simultaneously by the Davis
campaign in a moment of desperation in an attempt to bolster her campaign. With Davis, truth and principle take a backseat to political
expediency. We have seen Davis's difficulties with truth-in-advertising when, after the filibuster to prevent a bill banning late-term
abortions from passing, she then tried to sell herself to the voters in Texas as 'pro-life'.
Wendy
Davis gets big donations from abortion rights backers. Democrat Wendy Davis collected $100,000 in the last month from Austin
Planned Parenthood board member Aimee Boone and $100,000 from EMILY's List, a political committee that supports Democratic women who back
abortion rights. Other big donors during the most recent reporting period included investor Rani Clasquin of Austin, $50,000; League
City trial lawyer Ronald Krist, $50,000; and eight contributions of $25,000, including from Cecilia Boone and Suzanne Bartolucci. In
addition, her most recent report shows that Planned Parenthood's political committee spent $20,000 to conduct a poll on Davis' behalf and
$9,000 for Web design and staff time.
The Feminist Mystique. [Scroll
down] Being a feminist icon is a pretty good racket. Financial disclosures recently showed that Miss Davis, ex-tornado-bait
trailer-park-refugee single-mom crusader for the common folk, has used some $131,000 in campaign funds to house herself in luxury apartments in
Austin boasting "five-star resort amenities." Among her most enthusiastic boosters is Cecile Richards, daughter of the late Texas governor,
who is paid nearly a half-million dollars a year for her work defending the surgical dismemberment of unborn children in the furtherance of
sexual convenience.
Wendy Davis Says Texas Not a Red
State. Texas gubernatorial hopeful and Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis asserted on Thursday in an interview with statesman.com, "Texas
is not really a red state, it's just a non-voting state." [...] Since 1994, Republicans have won all of Texas's 29 statewide offices, giving the state the
longest streak of single-party dominance in the country.
TX
Reporter: Wendy Davis Campaign 'Worst at Media Relations I've Ever Seen'. For a candidate who owes her name recognition to a friendly
media, Wendy Davis is having trouble not riling up the local press. Dave Mann of the Texas Observer writes that the extent to which
her team is botching media relations is "the worst ... I've ever seen," an embarrassment weakening her candidacy.
Desperate Measures
in the State of Texas. Texas Democrats are no doubt beginning to regret placing their hopes for turning the state blue on a previously
unknown state senator whose gubernatorial campaign is unraveling right before their eyes. [...] Not only is she not the feminist icon she was thought
to be, a woman who made it on her own in a man's world, she's done some things that will cause reasonable people to seriously question her judgment.
Wendy Davis'
Campaign Just Started a War with the Texas Political Press Corps. The Travis County Democratic Party held a fundraiser with Wendy
Davis on Tuesday [1/28/2014], and Davis delivered her stump speech. That's normal stuff. But in a highly unusual move, the TCDP and
the Davis campaign barred the event to all but one media outlet, the Texas Tribune, which livestreamed it. According to Rauf, not only
did the Tribune get exclusive access, a Davis campaign press release told other media to stay away. They would not be welcome or admitted.
The Cowardice of Wendy Davis. Wendy
Davis, a Democratic state senator running to replace Rick Perry as governor of Texas, owes her political stardom to two things: a pair
of pink sneakers and her unstinting support for a woman's right to terminate a late-term pregnancy in a substandard clinic.
The Poison of Postmodern
Lying. Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis was recently caught fabricating her own autobiography. She
exaggerated her earlier ordeals, lied about the age at which she divorced, and was untruthful about how she paid for her Harvard
Law School education. When caught, Davis did not apologize for lying. Instead, she lamely offered that "my language
should be tighter." Apparently, only old fogies still believe in truth and falsehood — period. In contrast,
Davis knows that promoting a progressive feminist agenda is "truth," and she only needs to be "tighter" about her fabrications to
neutralize her reactionary critics.
Wendy Davis's Pay
Grade. So Wendy Davis fudged some key details of her bio. It doesn't speak well of her honesty or
trustworthiness, but as far as politics goes it's a misdemeanor, not a felony. Politicians get caught embellishing
their resumes all the time, and in far more egregious ways. [...] Instead of making a contrite acknowledgement — she
wouldn't have necessarily needed to apologize — and then moving on, she and her surrogates chose to lash out repeatedly
at her Republican opponent, Greg Abbott, claiming he was behind the unflattering revelations.
Democrat
Touts as Her New Idea, a Policy That Is Already State Law. In an attempt to move off her bio, the bio which up to now has been a centerpiece
of her campaign, she has begun lashing out at the Abbott campaign while her online allies are attacking the political reporter, Wayne Slater of the
Dallas Morning News, who wrote the article questioning her background. Neither is likely to have any positive effect for her campaign.
Wendy
Davis's Journey From Amateur to Obscene. All it took was five days for Texas gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis's
campaign to go from baffling to downright obscene, again showing that neither she nor those aiding the effort knew what they were
getting into in the first place. It wasn't enough that revelations of a distorted biography emerged, the details of which
included her leaving an older man just a day after he completed payments for her Harvard Law education. Nor that the candidate
herself signed onto a missive doubling down.
Complaint: Wendy Davis failed to
disclose income, lobbyist ties. An ethics complaint filed against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy
Davis this week argues that Davis has failed to disclose all of her sources of income and ties to lobbyists, as required
by state law. According to the complaint, Davis failed to disclose more than $25,000 in interest and dividends she
earned from 2010 to 2012 on the personal financial statements she filed those years. Davis also failed to disclose
that she was paid by the employer of a lobbyist — namely, the law firm of Cantey Hanger, LLP.
Is Politico telling the full
story about Wendy Davis? Before Davis's filibuster, there seemed to be zero chance that Democrats would win the governorship in
2014, but her sudden fame and fundraising prowess gave Democrats their best chance since George W. Bush defeated one-term Democratic
incumbent Ann Richards in 1994. Now the Dallas Morning News's revelations of Davis's less-than-accurate depiction of her life story
make her election look much less likely. And that in turn reduces the chances of success for the "turn Texas blue" movement.
Why Is The Press
Fighting To Protect Wendy Davis? Have you heard the one about the Texas gubernatorial candidate who created a fictional life
story to sell herself to voters? Probably not, since the person in question is a darling of the liberal media.
Wendy Davis' snobby
campaign pities single moms and trailer park folks. An odd thing happened on the way to Wendy Davis' personal and campaign
narratives — while claiming to fight for single moms and folks in trailer parks, she actually perpetuated stereotypes and myths
in an incredibly snobby way.
Wendy Davis, Fibber. The New York
Times appears to have little interest in the story of Davis's deceptions, despite the paper's fawning coverage of her late-night filibuster
to block a proposed ban on late-term abortions in the Texas legislature and her role as "the Democrats' big hope" to win the state's governorship
for the first time in nearly two decades. Of course, the Times was not the only major media outlet to run glowing profiles of Davis
in the wake of her dramatic filibuster last June.
Has Wendy Davis' Charmed Run for
Governor Started to Implode? All of this speaks to Davis' honesty and integrity. If she cannot be counted on to accurately report
her own history, she's likely to run a slipshod governorship that remains at arm's length with the truth. Asking legitimate questions about her
veracity is not a personal attack, but the vetting that political candidates should expect to undergo when they seek high office and the power that
comes with it.
Wendy
Davis Slams Paraplegic Opponent: 'Hasn't Walked a Day in My Shoes'. Wendy Davis is under fire following a Dallas Morning News report
that found a number of factual discrepancies in the personal narrative she has made a centerpiece of her long-shot campaign for Texas governor.
Davis, who is quoted multiple times in the article, issued a statement after its publication suggesting that her Republican opponent, Greg Abbott,
was behind the "attacks."
Reeling
Wendy Davis Grasps for Guns, Tells AP that Her Origins Story Is Now Off-Limits. When she was on the Fort Worth City Council, Wendy
Davis tried to kick gun shows off of municipal property. She tried this in Fort Worth, Texas, "where the West begins," and failed.
Fort Worth is not Austin, and Texas is not like the liberal enclaves where Davis tends to raise her campaign funds, as she is learning this week.
Revelations that her origins story has some holes in it has sent Davis' campaign for governor into a full-blown crisis. What's a candidate
to do? Change the subject, of course.
Mostyn
Law Firm donates $1 million to help Wendy Davis in Texas governor's race. The Mostyn Law Firm and its attorneys are
spending a small fortune to ensure Texas Sen. Wendy Davis' political ambitions come to fruition. [...] Davis, a Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, is no stranger to law firms specializing in civil litigation, as she first joined the Fort Worth law office
of Haynes & Boone in 1994. And now, 20 years later, Davis is relying on contributions from her fellow plaintiffs attorneys
and their firms, such as the Mostyn Law Firm, to fuel her political climb.
Media Circle
Wagons to Protect Wendy Davis From Bio Falsehoods. It is not as though the media would have to quit their ongoing political
assassination of Chris Christie to give the brewing scandal surrounding Texas Democrat Wendy Davis's bio falsehoods the attention it
deserves. The media can do two things at once. But other than clearing the way for President-in-waiting Hillary Clinton,
the media is desperately circling the wagons to downplay a legitimate scandal that could take down a rising Democrat star.
Wendy
Davis' Ex Demanded She Not Use Drugs Before Seeing Kids. News has broken that Wendy Davis lied about her background. She
is now playing victim blaming Greg Abbott. It is her ex-husband who talked to a left-of-center Dallas reporter. It is also her
ex-husband who asked a Texas District Court to issue a temporary restraining order against Wendy Davis in 2003.
Wendy Davis autobiography underwent
some ... revisions. [Scroll down] Legally, Davis has nothing to worry about. Politically, it might be another
matter. She's trying to market herself as a crusading truth-teller for women's rights in a benighted state. It doesn't help when
your autobiography turns out to be as fact-challenged as Davis' for that sales pitch.
Why a Feminist Heroine
Revised Her Bio. Indeed, Democrats could scarcely believe their luck when they learned [Wendy] Davis was not only a photogenic
blonde whose pink sneakers became an icon for abortion-rights supporters but also had a biography that sounded like political gold. [...] But
it turns out the true account of her life doesn't exactly match up to the story she's been selling while raising money for her campaign.
Wendy Davis'
ex-husband: "They've asked me not to talk to reporters". Wendy Davis, the progressive movement's Texas darling because
of her pro-late term abortion filibuster, is withering under revelations that much of her narrative of struggle and financial hardship
is misleading at best, fabricated at worst. The wagons are being circled around her with claims of a War on Women and sexism ... all
because the truth has come out via an interview with her husband by the Dallas Morning News, and other investigation. [...] So far,
however, the facts revealed by the Dallas Morning News have not been contested.
Dallas Morning News Calls Out Wendy
Davis for 'Blurring' Facts About Personal Life. As pro-choice icon State Sen. Wendy Davis continues her run for Governor of Texas, it's only natural
that the image she's constructed for herself comes under public scrutiny. On Sunday afternoon [1/19/2014], The Dallas Morning News's senior political

Democrat Wendy Davis Caught in Major
Lies. Texas State Senator Wendy Davis was catapulted onto the national scene following her filibuster in the Texas Senate in support of abortion.
[...] A few weeks ago, Davis declared candidacy in the governor's race for the state of Texas. However, the tales of her life's story are starting to
unravel as we learn that much of it is untrue.
Wendy, We Hardly Knew Ye. Last June, Texas state senator
Wendy Davis led an unsuccessful filibuster trying to block a bill abandoning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. She became a mainstream media
darling was hailed as "incredible" by the national Girl Scouts office, and her flush $12 million-campaign war chest almost certainly makes her the Democratic
candidate for Texas governor. But unlike her fellow Texan, U.S. senator Ted Cruz, who stayed on his feet for hours in September of last year speaking against
Obamacare, Davis didn't see her background and life story put under a microscope and picked apart.
Wendy Davis Testimony
in Federal Trial: 'I Got Divorced by the Time I Was 19'. Texas State Senator and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis testified in a
Washington, D.C. Federal courtroom on January 20, 2012 that she "got divorced by the time [she] was 19 years old." The Dallas Morning News
reported on Sunday [1/19/2014] that, in fact, Senator Davis did not file for divorce from her first husband, Frank Underwood, until December, 1983, when she was
20 years and six months old. The divorce was finalized on May 22, 1984, just a week after her 21st birthday.
Wendy Davis, unmasked. [Scroll down] She has already
raised $12 million for her campaign for governor, tapping into the victimology cult among wealthy feminist women. Davis has presented a life story to
voters that portrays her as inspiring up-from-the-bottom success story, the first member of her family ever to go to college, a young mother, and a brilliant
academic success who made her way to Harvard Law School. But this narrative omits some rather unappealing facets of her life course. Wayne Slater
of the Dallas Morning News presents some of the facts that he diplomatically says have been "blurred," and they are rather unsavory.

for governor, has admitted to the Dallas Morning News that she lied about key events in her life, including her first divorce. Davis may even have lied
