Barack Obama Reminds Republicans Why They Can't Stand Him

 Obama isn’t dumb. He knows what he’s saying are lies in this instance, and he also knows not a single media “fact-checker” will dare call him out for them. Thus are the perks of being a Democrat. One thing is for though. Barack Obama made sure to remind every Republican exactly why they so opposed him for eight years.

 RedState  "There’s an odd phenomenon when it comes to politicians who leave office. Typically, due to their exiting of the spotlight, even the most reviled figures end up becoming liked by a large majority of the population. Of course, that depends on the politician deciding to hold up their part of the bargain by fading away gracefully. George W. Bush, once routinely compared to Hitler by the left-wing during his two terms as president, is an example of someone who’s largely done it right and has seen his reputation rebound.

"But Barack Obama is taking a different path, apparently deciding that he wants to remind everyone who once opposed him exactly why they can’t stand him. That happened in the context of a campaign rally for Joe Biden this morning in Florida.

"Here are some of the highlights."

OBAMA: "When Russia puts bounties on the heads of our soldiers in Afghanistan, the commander-in-chief can’t be MIA: missing in action. Joe Biden would never call the men and women of our military suckers or losers."

Obama’s delivery is as jarring and annoying as ever. He always comes across like a schoolmarm, chastising those who would dare to disappoint him, and that attitude existed in spades during this speech. But what’s most noteworthy here is just how transparent of a liar he is.

. . . "Both stories he references here have been proven false (see That Bombshell Russian Bounty Story Was Just Officially Shown to Be Garbage). There is no actual intelligence, and the Pentagon has actually come to the opposite conclusion, that the Russians were paying bounties for the deaths of American troops in Afghanistan. The story itself never made any sense anyway, as the Taliban didn’t require motivation to try to kill Americans. Yet, Obama repeats that fake news story without even a hint of care that what he’s saying is blatantly false." . . .


     



New Trump Ad Reminds Voters the Biden Team Bailed Out Rioters

 Katie Pavlich  "The Trump campaign is out with a new campaign ad exposing former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris as enablers of rioting across the country. In fact, the ad features headlines about a rioter bail fund that was promoted on Twitter by Harris and Biden staffers. Worse, Biden staffers took part in the rioting. "

The Media’s Smear Job Campaigning for Joe Biden

"The media must answer for the most egregious smear job in the history of the democratic world."

Conrad Black  "As the national political media have conducted practically the entire Democratic presidential election campaign, the credibility of the media is entirely implicated in the election result. In the latest revelations about the financial activities of the Biden family while presidential candidate Joe Biden was the vice president, the national political media and the principal social media companies have sandbagged another large media company, News Corporation’s New York Post, and have tried to impose online silence on the White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. 

"The media either had to suppress the story to maintain support for their candidate and continue to make his campaign for him, or give normal attention to such a well-attested story and probably sink his candidacy—effectively their joint candidacy. If they had chosen the second course of action and treated Biden as they would have treated Trump or any previous presidential candidate mired in such allegations, the Biden candidacy almost certainly would be doomed. In going full metal jacket to ignore the story and to maintain Biden in their candidate protection program, the major media and the executives behind them are putting the credibility and ultimately the value of their franchises on the line.

"If Biden is elected, his premeditated lie that he had never discussed his son’s business dealings in Ukraine or other foreign countries will be evident and undeniable, but not significant. There will be no further legal proceedings and while a couple of Senate committees may continue to poke the question, even that will stop if the Democrats emerge from the election with the majority of the Senate. Similarly, the Durham special counsel investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russian collusion allegations, which has been inexcusably prolonged, will also undoubtedly be swept under the carpet no matter what Durham’s findings are. Even though it is now clear that the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, knew when she was circulating the Steele dossier that its chief
source was a Russian government agent, these facts appear not to matter. 

"Similarly, while there is a bipartisan consensus about some aspects of the unhealthy influence social media has on public opinion formation in the United States, if Biden wins, the post-electoral examination of the role of social media will be comparatively gentle. That is the least the Democrats could do for these immensely influential executives who have carried water on both shoulders for their unfeasible candidate." . . .

The Shocking Bias and Incompetence of Our Public Schools

 Power Line Blog  "With an election impending, the public schools are teaching our children about the issues and the candidates. One of their primary tools is Scholastic Magazine, which I think is read by millions of school children and is the basis for instruction in countless classrooms. A friend alerted me to the fact that the current issue includes profiles of President Trump and Joe Biden and describes their positions on several issues.

"This is what our children are being told about President’s Trump’s position on “Racial Justice”:

The long history of unjust treatment of Black people in America is a major focus of this election.

This past spring, in the wake of police killings of Black Americans, huge protests erupted across the country in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Meanwhile, the coronavirus pandemic has seriously underscored the widespread problem of racial inequality in the United States. Data show that people of color are contracting and dying of the virus at the highest rates, largely because of the wealth gap that exists between white people and people of color. Many Americans of all races are now demanding an end to police violence and other injustices toward Black people in this country.

"That’s the preface. This is an issue, according to Scholastic Magazine, on which there is only one possible perspective.

In June, President Trump signed an executive order encouraging police departments to change how they train officers and use force. But overall, he has defended law enforcement…

"As well he should!" . . .Keep reading...

High stakes: Netanyahu, Israelis closely watching U.S. election with nervous hearts

 Washington Times

 President Donald Trump welcomes visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House 

. . . "In a country where President Trump is broadly popular, Mr. Netanyahu may be among the foreign leaders with the most at stake — and the most to lose — in U.S. elections next week. 

"Mr. Trump’s image in Israel got another boost Friday when Sudan became the third Arab country in two months to announce plans to move to normalize relations with Israel, the latest fruit of U.S. diplomacy aimed at ending Israel’s isolation in the region and building up a coalition to confront strategic foe Iran.

"By moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, renouncing the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and radically scaling back U.S. opposition to Israeli settlements in Palestinian-claimed land, the Trump administration has forged a strong bond with Mr. Netanyahu, who had an often prickly relationship with President Obama." . . ."

Democrats’ Contempt for the Will of the Voters

 The American Spectator

Their attacks on Trump are expressions of their animosity toward the electorate.


"The most important passage in George Orwell’s iconic and prescient novel 1984 is O’Brien’s chilling explanation to protagonist Winston Smith concerning the Party’s motives: “We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.” It is no exaggeration to say this has become the raison d’être of the Democratic Party. Consequently, it’s imperative to remember that the electorate itself is the true target of Democratic attacks on President Trump. This is why its current presidential nominee calls his supporters “Chumps.” It is why the failed 2016 Democratic nominee recently described them as “cowards and spineless enablers.”

The Democratic Party and the ruling class it represents have nothing but contempt for the electorate, and their attempts to get rid of Trump are about nothing more than disfranchising the “chumps” who voted for him.

"Trump is the voice of a nationwide voter rebellion against the ruling class, and the Democrats know the revolt can’t be crushed until he is silenced. They want the proles to return to our roles as obedient servants of Beltway bureaucrats and politicians. This is what they mean by “returning to normalcy.” But they know this will never happen as long as Trump is in a position to implement policies and appoint officials favored by the despised voters. Even as this is being written, the Democrats are decrying the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, despite broad public approval of her record. As Majority Leader Mitch McConnell phrased it on the floor of the Senate:"  . . .

. . . "Or, as Orwell phrased it in 1984, “No one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end.… The object of power is power.” If it seems farfetched that even the Democrats would govern in such a cynical fashion, consider that less than a year ago, they impeached the president pursuant to ridiculous charges — despite the consistent failure of the Democrats to convince a majority of voters that such drastic action was appropriate. Or, if you’re a real masochist, think about the two-year Mueller investigation into an implausible conspiracy theory and its embarrassing collapse. Both of these burlesques were clear abuses of power without regard to the will of the electorate."
