Celebrities Push 'Emergency Order' to Ban Protests, Autonomous Zones in Beverly Hills

"America's rich and famous have been recently been clamoring for the spotlight to promote the nationwide protests across the country, many of which have turned into violent rioting, looting, and other criminal activity.
"The protesting has gone so far in Seattle, in fact, that Antifa and Black Lives Matter mobs have even seized control of a six-block area in a downtown neighborhood and established a "cop-free" "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" or CHAZ.
"However, while celebrities may appear keen for other cities to be ravaged by the unrest, contributing millions to “freedom funds” to pay bail for rioters arrested in the chaos, they don't want it happening on their own doorsteps.
"In response, celebs and other wealthy residents of Beverly Hills, California, and the surrounding area, are moving quickly to shut down demonstrations and block the possibility an “autonomous zone” from being formed anywhere near them.
"Earlier this week, the City of Beverly Hills issued a strict order, using coronavirus as an excuse.
"The order bans protests, demonstrations, and curtails plans for an “autonomous zone” in one of the country’s wealthiest districts." . . .

Schadenfreude overload: Progressive, BLM-supporting mayor of Olympia, WA calls riots 'domestic terrorism' after her home is vandalized

"Mayor Cheryl Selby of Olympia, Washington just got her consciousness raised.  Her hometown newspaper, The Olympian, reported last Friday:

On Friday night, two groups converged in downtown Olympia, and some became destructive, burning flags, smashing windows, and spray painting businesses and Olympia Mayor Cheryl Selby's home.

Selby and her family were not home last night, but her neighbors began texting her when the protesters arrived at her house.

"I'm really trying to process this," she told The Olympian over the phone Saturday. "It's like domestic terrorism. It's unfair.

"It hurts when you're giving so much to your community," she said[.]

"Mayor Selby was previously vandalized and installed a security camera, so we have video of the miscreant via KING TV in Seattle: . . ."

. . . "Rioters never stop to check the politics of the owners of buildings that they trash.  The gay rainbow banner bought her no immunity.  But many liberals somehow seem to think they are exempt from the chaos they unleash by offering their support to violent radicals.

"The owners of businesses looted and burned have suffered a lot more than she did, annoying though it is to be spray-painted.  Many have had their life savings and life's work destroyed, though guilty of nothing.  Irving Kristol famously quipped that a neo-conservative is "a liberal who has been mugged by reality."  Mayor Selby probably needs a lot more consciousness-raising before she becomes a conservative of any sort.  But maybe her support for BLM rioters is a bit less florid today?" . . .

Yale Has to Go! Our Millennial Taliban can happily do it.

At Appomattox, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant allowed Gen. Robert E. Lee to keep his sword. As Lee mounted his horse to leave, Grant saluted him. After announcing the South’s surrender at the White House, President Lincoln ordered the band to play “Dixie.” It was an amazing way to end a civil war. My ancestors were abolitionists who fought for the Union, but you don’t have to be a Southerner to care about Confederate monuments. I can’t help but notice that the people trying to obliterate our history are not part of that history.

Ann Coulter  "The Democratic Party is being forced into taking ridiculous positions by its insane base. Defund the police! Dishonor the flag! Throw Christopher Columbus in a lake!
"What a wonderful gift! All Republicans have to do is take the other side. Make themselves the alternative to madness.
"Instead, Trump and the Republicans have decided they’re going to be “Democrats Lite.”
"I’ll let others berate Republicans for doing nothing about the rioting, the arsons, the beatings, the corporate and social media canceling. This column will address the GOP’s moronitude in response to the attacks on Confederate monuments. Works of art are being destroyed by Maoist vandals who have no idea what they’re doing.
"Literally no idea.
"Quick! Who was Fort Bragg named after? What did he do? Do you even know his first name? When you have to Google the guy on a statue to figure out who he is, maybe it’s not really the daily humiliation you claim it is.
"At this point, the military bases are famous in their own right. No one hears “Fort Hood” and thinks of Gen. John Bell Hood. Fort Bragg, home of the 82nd Airborne, is many orders of magnitude more famous than Gen. Braxton Bragg. It would be like demanding President John F. Kennedy change his name because his namesake, John Fitzgerald, was a corrupt Boston mayor.
"Most obviously, the Democratic Party is going to have to change its name. You want an institution that represents slavery? Confederate politicians were all Democrats, Democrats created Jim Crow, and the founder of the party was a slave holder. (The Republican Party was founded to end slavery.)
"Speaking of repellant Democrats, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said on the Senate floor this week that the United States “didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.”
"This is the most ignorant statement ever made on the Senate floor. (And that’s saying something!)" . . .

How about a bill withholding all federal funds from Yale University until it changes its name? The school’s namesake, Elihu Yale, was not only a slave owner, but a slave trader.Quite a dilemma for the little snots who attend and teach there! It will be tremendously damaging to their brand. After all, true sublimity for a Social Justice Warrior is virtue signaling and advertising their high SAT scores at the same time.
If you refuse to fight, Republicans, don’t you at least want to have some fun?

How liberal news sources word their news

Aug, 2019; "Getting killed by police is a leading cause of death for young black men in America"

. . . "A new study finds that about 1 in 1,000 black men and boys can expect to die as a result of police violence over the course of their lives – a risk that's about 2.5 times higher than their white peers. The annual risk rises and falls with age, and is highest for young men. Here’s how it compares to other leading causes of death for black men in their mid-to-late 20s.

Cause of death	Mortality rate
Assault	94.2
Accidents	52.1
Suicide	17.5
Heart disease	14
HIV	6.8
Cancer	6.2
Police use of force*	3.4
Diabetes	2.8
Influenza and pnemonia	2
Chronic lower respiratory disease	2
Cerebrovascular diseases	1.9

Annual mortality rates are reported as deaths per 100,000 black men ages 25 to 29.

CNN ‘Journalist Of The Year’ Quits; Admits He Wrote Fake News

Newspunch  (2018, posted today)  "A reporter who was awarded CNN’s “Journalist of the Year” prize has resigned from his job and admitted to writing fake news for several years because he felt “pressure.”

“ 'I am sick and I need to get help,” Claas Relotius said in his confession. He explained it was “fear of failing,” that made him falsify the news for liberal outlets, earning him praise and prestigious awards in the process.

“ 'My pressure to not be able to fail got ever bigger the more successful I became.”

"According to Der Spiegel, Relotius “made up stories and invented protagonists” in many of his articles in order to push liberal talking points, demonize conservatives, and reinforce the globalist world view.

"Relotius, who was awarded CNN’s highest prize for journalism in 2014, was exposed as a long-term writer of fake news after another reporter raised suspicions about a popular anti-Trump story he wrote recently about the US-Mexican border.

"The colleague, Juan Moreno, tracked down two “sources” quoted extensively by Relotius in the article, which was published in November. Both “sources” said they had never met Relotius. Relotius had also lied about seeing a hand-painted sign that read “Mexicans keep out”, a subsequent investigation found.

"But the story about the US-Mexico border was just the tip of the iceberg. Relotius has a long history of writing fake news that pleased CNN and other liberal outlets. Other fraudulent stories included one about a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay, and another about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick." . . .

. . . "It’s not the first time a journalist linked to CNN has admitted to producing fake news. According to Amber Lyon, a three-time Emmy award winning journalist, CNN was routinely paid by the Obama government, as well as foreign governments, to selectively report on certain events and make up fake news stories.

"Furthermore, the Obama administration paid CNN for editorial control over some of their content."

Dear White People Parodies Hollywood's 'I Take Responsibility' Video With a Pitch-Perfect Clapback
. . . "The original PSA showed a bunch of white celebrities including Sarah Paulson, Debra Messing, and Aaron Paul making somber platitudes to do...something about racism that's not entirely clear and was swiftly mocked online for being cringey and melodramatic." . . . 
. . . "Never the one to let an opportunity for a slick, sick socially relevant burn to slide by, Dear White People's clapback put the criticisms of "I Take Responsibility" into clear view. In it, the white students of the show's fictional Winchester University do their own weepy "I'm sowwys" for their obliviousness and microaggressions on campus, and in moments like poor Abigail's (Sheridan Peirce) mea culpa for discussing her love of cocoa butter, or Muffy Tuttle's (Caitlin Carver) apology for "not posting the black square soon enough but leaving it up far too long" Dear White People proves again how it's one of the smartest and most relevant shows on TV, period. "I Take Responsibility" had it coming, and boy, it got it, good. "

'Racism is bad': Conservatives parody video of Hollywood celebrities taking 'responsibility' for racism  "A group of conservative commentators mocked Hollywood celebrities who appeared recently in a compiled a video taking "responsibility" for racism.

"Podcast host and author Allie Beth Stuckey published a video compilation on social media Wednesday showing her and other pundits mocking celebrities featured in a recently published video entitled "I Take Responsibility," which was part of an activism campaign from the NAACP.

" 'Injustice is bad. Racism is," conservative blogger Matt Walsh begins in the parody before ostensibly checking notes on his desk, "Bad.' " . . .

We are celebrities. Take us seriously. We are very courageous and brave. We are here to stop injustice. Because injustice is... wrong...

Why must we cower in fear of the left?

One truth is for sure: we are full of cold anger and come November freedom loving Americans will do what many of their elected leaders have not done: We will push back the socialist-Communist left and they will not know what hit them.  Dex Bahr

Rich Terrell

Where is the Republican pushback?

The left plays the long game, while Republicans simply react to what the left is doing.  As such, Democrats determine the rules of engagement.  Republicans lose an election, and they halt any conservative progress while providing little to no resistance to Democrat policies or judicial nominees.  Democrats lose elections, and leftism does not stop.  They resist tooth and nail Republican policies and judicial nominees.  Republicans lose and willingly accept minority status.  Democrats lose but maintain the attitude of the majority.

As American politicians cower before BLM, they get a lesson in courage from… France  . . . "If the Republic survives, this era will become an enduring blot of shame for the madness tolerated and even promoted by the commanding heights of our political, corporate, academic, and media establishments – in other words, our entire institutional leadership class."

Senator Josh Hawley Takes on The GOP Political Establishment – The Fraud of “The Conservative Bargain”…  "U.S. Senator Josh Hawley delivered a speech on the floor of the senate that deserves some attention.  The larger issue outlined by Senator Halwey surrounds the recent Supreme Court Bowstock decision authored by Justice Gorsuch.  However, in overlaying the judicial outcome, Hawley hits on the central issue he calls the “conservative bargain.”

"The entire speech is worth listening to, as the senator encapsulates many of the frustrations within the recent decision; but the segment at 07:15 cuts to the heart of the distinction between MAGA-Trump republicanism and the pathetic GOPe wing of the Mitch McConnell UniParty.

Does this affect you at all?   Two schools honoring Washington and Jefferson to be renamed in 'support of Black Lives Matter'

Tucker Carlson most-watched cable news host despite advertisers dropping his show

Washington Examiner  "Fox News’s Tucker Carlson was the most-watched cable news host last week despite multiple companies pulling advertisements from his show for his comments on the Black Lives Matter movement.

"Carlson had 4 million viewers tune in to his program and 680,000 people from the coveted 25-54 age bracket between June 8-14, according to Nielsen ratings. Carlson bested host Sean Hannity, who had 3.9 million viewers, as well as Laura Ingraham, who earned 3.5 million viewers.

“ 'FOX News Channel (FNC) continued its dominance as the most-watched network in all of cable across total day and primetime, advancing its winning streak to 23 straight weeks in total day and 21 weeks in a row in primetime among total viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research,” a Fox News press release read. “During breaking news coverage of the nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, the network also topped the cable competition across both dayparts in total viewers and the younger demographic.”

"Carlson has come under fire in recent days for his comments on the Black Lives Matter movement, which led to advertisers such as T-Mobile and Papa John’s pulling their ads.

"He said earlier in June on his program of the movement: “This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.”

"T-Mobile said on June 3 that it would pull all future ads from the show.

" 'We haven’t run ads on Tucker Carlson Tonight since early May and have canceled all future placements," the company tweeted. "We will continue to support those who stand against racial injustice."

"ABC also said it had no plans to run future ads during the program.

" 'The ABC advertisements were placed on the show without our knowledge by third-party media buyers who were unaware that we do not advertise on the show, and they have now been notified not to place any further ads,” a spokesperson told Deadline, which reported the company had run about 30 ads on Carlson's prime-time show this year.

"Pizza chain Papa John’s said it would stop running ads on programs deemed an opinion show, according to the New York Times, saying the “placement of advertising is not intended to be an endorsement of any specific programming or commentary.' ”

One of the reasons?  Tucker Carlson Gave the Most Important, Riveting Monologue of His Career and It’s a Must Watch  
"Tucker Carlson went live last night after a weekend of violent rioting and looting across many of America’s major cities. He took no prisoners in what was easily the most important monologue of his career. It’s a moment in media history that will still be talked about a decade from now. That’s how powerful it was, whether you agree with every conclusion or not." . . .

. . . "You can find the full transcript via The Federalist.

"While Carlson has long separated himself as a step above the other prime time hosts, both on his network and others, this cemented his status as an independent thinker not afraid to speak out. The abandonment of these cities by local officials? He nails them. Governors who pander to the violence? He nails them to. Yes, he even goes after President Trump.

A new nation, conceived in...in...campus leftism, maybe?

A Warning to Trump and Republicans: Leave the Nation of CHAZ/CHOP Alone!
. . . "Because here in America, our old, boring "A Republic, if you can keep it" thing is falling apart. It's not woke enough. We began "decolonizing" our libraries so that now, Americans can't even remember why we started this "republic" thing in the first place.
"Hail CHAZ/CHOP."

Antifa Exposed! We Now Know Where Their Funding Is Coming From, They Name Names!

Tedium Media  "Project Veritas has done it once again. Last week, James O'Keefe released a video exposing what Antifa is all about and how they train to physically hurt people and render them helpless.

This time they are exposing where their funding is coming from and it's coming straight from the mouths of Antifa members.
"Project Veritas reported,
" 'Antifa is short for anti-fascist. The group has long claimed a leadership role in violent movements across America and the world.
“ 'They do not hesitate to either push back or incite some kind of violence. In our classes and in our meetings, before we do any sort of demonstration or Black Block, we talk about weapons detail and what we carry and what we should have,” said the Project Veritas Undercover Journalist.
"Earlier this week, President Donald Trump said the United States would designate “Antifa” as a terrorist organization.
"National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien echoed Trump’s comments Sunday morning, saying the violence “is being driven by ‘Antifa.’”
"Attorney General William Barr announced in a statement that he will enforce action against the group, saying “violent radical elements” are hijacking legitimate protests to “pursue their own separate, violent, and extremist agenda.”
"Here are some of the things that the Antifa members say in the Project Veritas video below:

“We actually did get a grant from them (Soros) around… We started a thing called a National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers.”“…I believe he (Steyer) has political ambitions, and he might not want to be directly connected.”“…Steyer might not want to be connected” “…Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, this at a certain point dominates the national news…it’s a very disruptive force.”"…we’re meeting with his (Tom Steyer) main adviser on impeachment. We’ve been talking to his assistant, he first said he was going to meet, he made the announcement…”

NBC News under fire for apparently pushing Google to remove conservative sites from ad platform

Fox News  "NBC News is facing intense backlash for apparently influencing Google to punish two conservative news sites over what was deemed offensive coverage of the George Floyd protests.
"In a report published Tuesday afternoon, NBC News claimed Google "banned" The Federalist and ZeroHedge from Google Ads for "pushing unsubstantiated claims" about the Black Lives Matter movement. Google later pushed back, claiming that The Federalist "was never demonetized," and adding, "We worked with them to address issues on their site related to the comments section."
" 'We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing," a Google spokesperson initially told NBC News. NBC, however, did not link to the "derogatory content" from The Federalist or ZeroHedge.
"In addition, it appeared it was NBC News' inquiry into the matter that prompted Google's actions in the first place.
"Google's ban of the websites comes after the company was notified of research conducted by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British nonprofit that combats online hate and misinformation. They found that 10 U.S-based websites have published what they say are racist articles about the protests, and projected that the websites would make millions of dollars through Google Ads," NBC News reported." . . .

A vast left-wing conspiracy suppressing conservative voices includes Google, NBC and a shadowy foreign group  "Remember when the progressive media feigned concern over foreign influence on our elections? Now, just months before a critical election, they are conspiring with foreign groups to destroy conservative publications, with the assistance of Google, the most powerful information provider in the history of the world.

"This tweet from the head of the foreign group shows the mentality at work:" . . .

"According to Federalist officials, Google demanded that the comments section be removed, or else it would be demonetized. For now, The Federalist has complied, but contends comments will be restored.  Zero Hedge apparently remains demonetized. And the comments section of YouTube (owned by Google) Continues to be a sewer of vile commentary.

"So far, outrage largely is limited to conservatives, with liberals apparently content to silence rater than debate conservative voices. The ACLU which once upon a time defended free speech is now fully committed to the left and needs to drop “Civil Liberties” from its name." . . .

Will Jewish and Christian Schools Teach the Truth About America and Racism?

Dennis Prager

No Jewish or Christian parent should send their child to a Jewish or Christian school that teaches otherwise.

"Do not follow the majority to do evil.”—Exodus 23:2.
"When I went to yeshiva day schools, America was celebrated. America was regarded, in the description of Menachem Schneerson (the Lubavitcher rebbe), the most influential rabbi of the 20th century, as a “medina shel chesed”—”a country of kindness.”
"He knew, as all American Jews knew, that there were many anti-Semites in America, that America should have done more for the Jews of Europe, that universities like Harvard limited the number of Jewish students, that prestigious law firms and country clubs barred Jews, etc. So, then, why did he describe America as a country of kindness? Why did my yeshiva in Brooklyn put on plays honoring George Washington? Why did my Orthodox Jewish day school utilize texts not only celebrating America but affirming America as a “melting pot”? Why did a Jew, Irving Berlin, write “God bless America”?
"The primary reason was that these Jews knew what the rest of the world was like. They had the wisdom to compare America with other countries, not, as the foolish, nihilistic left does, to utopia. Compared with the rest of the world, America was—and remains—a medina shel chesed.
"Was it such a country for every one of its citizens? Of course not. At the time Rabbi Schneerson described America as a “country of kindness,” the southern half of America enforced immoral and degrading Jim Crow laws, and racism was common in the North as well. I have noted the anti-Semitism in American life at that time. And gays were often ostracized and degraded.
"But the Torah teaches us that we are not to compare the past with the present. That is why Noah, the man God saves from the Flood, is described in Genesis as righteous “in his generations.” If Noah were to be compared with people in later generations, he would be found wanting. Abraham, the man chosen by God to be the father of His People, had a concubine and lied about his wife to save his own life. But only fools—like all those who want to tear down monuments to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson—would dismiss Abraham’s greatness. Jacob, the man God renamed “Israel,” owned slaves. Should Jews cease calling themselves the “children of Israel”? Should the State of Israel change its name?
"That is what Jewish—and all religious—schools should be teaching when discussing Washington or Jefferson having slaves. If we are to dismiss the greatness of two of the founders of the freest country in human history — not to mention the best non-Jewish country Jews have ever lived in — then we should do likewise to the Jewish patriarchs. Moses had a fellow Israelite executed for publicly violating the Sabbath. Should his sculpture be removed from the Supreme Court? Will Jewish day schools start dismissing the greatness of all our ancestors? If they start doing this to Washington and Jefferson, they should be consistent. 
"Or should they do what the Torah does? While never ignoring the flaws of giants, remember why they were giants." . . .
