Attempts to Drive a Wedge Between Trump and the Military Should Rattle All Americans

PJ Media 

 "Waking up to a news cycle trying to convince you that President Trump does not respect members of the military, or dismisses their sacrifice, should not be viewed as just another poorly sourced hit piece. Even though, according to witnesses, that is precisely what The Atlantic story is. It is the intent of the anonymous sources that should rattle you.
. . . 

"To understand why this matters, we will go through McFaul’s seven steps one by one. We have seen these steps used during the Arab Spring and the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine. They were weaponized and taught overseas by the State Department under Hillary Clinton in a program called Tech Camps. This program taught activists how to build movements using technology.

"The groups were then activated around an invigorating event. Clearly, the event being leveraged now is the 2020 election."

What to Do?

"There is no reason to believe this narrative will not continue to be amplified right through Election Day. It is up to each one of us to correct the record with everyone we know and vote in person as if your life depends on it. Ensure others do also. Remind people about early voting, which has slow periods where it is easier to socially distance. If your state is implementing mail-in voting because of the pandemic, petition your county to open polling places and educate your neighbors and communities about how many mail-in ballots get lost." 
"The only way to head off chaos is to make sure we can have faith in the election process. The only way to do that is to reject the fundamental changes to the system that Democrats are proposing."

Sharyl Attkisson Warns: Prepare for the ‘Scheduled Scandals’ Dropping Before November

If the numbers we’re seeing are true with Trump either tied or in the lead, Democrats know they’re in trouble. They don’t have too many options. Spread all kinds of scandals, try to find ballots where ever they can. If they lose, they wouldn’t accept it and create chaos. Hopefully, our republic can stand strong against it. Nancy Pelosi describes it, the “Wrap-up Smear.”

Sharyl Attkisson  "If anyone was surprised by the nonsensical lie being pushed by The Atlantic, they shouldn’t have been.

"The story, from “anonymous sources” claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t want to visit an American cemetery in France because he said dead military members “losers” and “suckers.” Anyone reading that would know it was fake and it was immediately debunked from all quarters by people willing to go on the record. But it sounded a lot more like the offensive way that the left depicts the military.

"The fact that such an obviously false story would be pushed shows how desperate they are at this point. It’s also pretty clear that one big font of support for the president and the GOP in general is the military. Consequently, Democrats have to find some way to unhinge that support.

"It’s 60 days before the election. Democrats and their willing acolytes in the media have already shown that they are willing to do anything they possibly can to win back the White House.

“ 'Full Measure News” Sharyl Attkisson had a warning for everyone." . . . 

“ 'Scheduled “scandals” will be rolled out regularly between now & Nov. 3. The media, politicos, propagandists pretend it’s organic & pretend to be aghast. Most of America understands what’s going on. After all, it’s not exactly a new approach in politics.”

  'No kidding.

" Expect a lot more, meant to completely disorient people and shake support from Trump. ' . . .

So don’t let it shake you, prepare, as Attkisson says, because wild things will be dropping between now and the election, guaranteed.

        

No respect for Biden; just hate for Trump and his supporters

Evidence piles up that the phony Atlantic story about Trump and troops was a slime job to boost Biden  "To get a sense of how low the Biden campaign is going to go in its quest to oust President Trump, the Atlantic hit job from Thursday is a pretty good indicator.

Monica Showalter

"The evidence is piling up that the easily refutable, anonymously sourced so-called story, claiming that President Trump disparaged veterans, wasn't really an Atlantic news story at all; it was a coordinated hit job involving the press, Democratic operatives, and associated leftist groups connected to the military, executed with impeccable timing.  The Atlantic is building a name for itself for its uncorrected false stories, and this one's not at all different." . . .

"Who else might be involved?  I suspect the Lincoln Project, or other NeverTrump groups, particularly if they are associated with former President George W. Bush.

"Why would I suspect that? Because of the swift boat ads on John Kerry, dating from 2004, which have a remarkable resemblance in tactics, albeit not merit, to what the Bushies pulled in that year, much to the Democrats' fury. Their campaign people, who are known for their rough play and dirty tricks, are busy at work with their bid to elect Joe Biden, and have pulled out their old template.

"By coincidence, this same bid to smear Trump was reportedly used by George McClellan to attack President Lincoln in 1864, a disgusting thing when you think about it. Maybe 'Lincoln Project' to them means 'do a number on Lincoln' or do a number on Trump the way Lincoln's enemies did.

"It's well worth watching if this is the modus operandi and these are the characters at work. Because one thing's for sure - this won't be their last dirty smear directed at Trump. If they had anything with truth, they'd use is, but as it is, all they have are lies, and they're comfortable with lies."    Monica Showalter

America’s Largest Police Union Endorses President Trump For 2020

American Lookout 

"Just as in 2016, Trump is the law and order candidate in 2020.
"Democrats have let their mobs of supporters run wild in the streets of American cities while scapegoating police officers as the enemy.
"Trump has always had the backs of police officers and now they have his back. Trump was just endorsed by the biggest police union in the country.
"The Hill reports:

Largest police union endorses Trump for reelection

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the nation’s largest police union, announced it is endorsing President Trump on Friday and praised him for his calls for law and order.

Young skulls full of mush doing what they have been told to do

How many of the kids in these photos honestly thought of these actions on their own?

20-year-old college student from wealthy elite family facing possible 4-year prison term for violent BLM rampage in Manhattan

. . . Rioters all over the country have inflicted terrible harm on innocent people, many of them minority small business owners. That a person of above average raw intelligence would engage in this form of wanton destruction is evidence that evil people have warped her young mind. And apparently she has eagerly adopted the worldview and engaged in destruction for pleasure. The only way to prevent this poison from spreading and reverse it is to hold those responsible to the maximum punishment that the law allows.  . . .

Was it really their own idea to throw paint on a lady in her eighties who had the courage to stand up to them and their bully buddies?

How the Progressive Left Ruined Education  . . . "Schooling used to be about equipping pupils to succeed in life.  These days (with very few exceptions) it is about politicizing them so that as many as possible are indoctrinated into the radical progressive left ideology, thus blighting their adult lives with discontent and grievances, mostly as result of being conditioned to view all life’s set-backs as a form of “oppression.' ” . . .

The reason why so many young people today feel rootless and aimless is because they have never learned to respect the achievements of their ancestors (whose legacy they carelessly squander) or developed sufficient self-respect to aspire to leave a legacy that will in turn inspire others.
