The media are lying about Trump's phone call with Raffensperger

Andrea Widburg  "The mainstream media and Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, are utterly disgraceful, dishonest, and manipulative people.  Raffensperger released a private phone call that the media immediately claimed — falsely — showed Trump begging Raffensperger to fraudulently find enough votes for Trump to win.  In fact, Trump called Raffensperger to get him to stop obstructing the fraud investigation.  As Trump explained during the call, evidence proves Trump won Georgia by a massive margin, only to have victory stolen through equally massive fraud.  Trump sought to avoid litigation forcing Raffensperger to do his job, which is to make at least a minimal effort to clear away enough fraud to allow Trump his actual and honest victory in Georgia.

"Here are just two examples of the media's dishonest claim that Trump was trying to force Raffensperger to commit fraud.  As you can see, their premise is that there is no evidence of fraud, so any action on Trump's part to claim victory is itself fraud.  Theirs is a deliberate example of circular logic, where their premise and conclusion are the same thing.

"Washington Post: "The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims, at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking 'a big risk.'"

"CNN: "In excerpts of the stunning one-hour phone call Saturday, Trump lambasted his fellow Republican for refusing to falsely say that he won the election in Georgia and repeatedly touted baseless claims of election fraud."

"Here's what really happened on the phone call.  First, Trump wasn't the only person on the phone.  Also present were Mark Meadows, Mike Pompeo, and multiple attorneys.  There isn't the slightest chance that they would have allowed Trump to beg Raffensperger for illegal votes or to threaten him." . . .

"HUGE: TRUMP DROPS A BOMB DURING PHONE CALL! Tells Raffensperger “Vote Scammer and Hustler” Ruby Freeman Was Behind Alleged 18,000 FRAUDULENT VOTES in Suitcase Scandal! (VIDEO)"

That is more than enough votes to flip the state of Georgia.
It also puts Raffensperger on notice! We have the fraud! Now do your job.

"LOL: Georgia Secretary of State Suggests Pres Trump Could Face Criminal Charges Over Call…"  "Yeah except the criminality is from the edited call. The actual call, literally nothing criminal is said, done or suggested. "Via DailyCaller:

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger suggested Monday the Fulton County District Attorney could launch a criminal probe into his leaked weekend phone call with President Donald Trump.

Trump berated Raffensperger in a Saturday phone call “to find” enough votes for him to win the state, according to a recording obtained by the Washington Post. The president lost Georgia to President-Elect Joe Biden by 11,779 votes during the November election.

Joy Behar Says Trump Should Be Impeached for ‘Treason’ for Raffensperger Call

AMERICAN NEWS Mother Jones praised Kavanaugh accuser but calls Biden accuser Tara Reade one of 'top ten lunatics of 2020'

The Post Millennial  The progressive magazine Mother Jones included Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her, in an article published on New Years' Eve titled "Top Ten Lunatics of 2020."

"She insisted that Joe Biden had sexually molested her in some way, but now it appears to have been just a fantasy made up by a habitually unreliable person," wrote contributor Kevin Drum.   . . "Reade, a former staffer for Joe Biden's Senate office, accused Biden of sexually assaulting her on Capitol Hill. Her testimony came under intense scrutiny after she changed details of the alleged assault, and it was later revealed that she had a history of fraud. Critics of the #MeToo movement have argued that the treatment of Tara Reade amounts to a double standard by the media, whereby Republicans and conservatives accused of sexual assault are assumed to be guilty whereas Democrats facing similar accusations are given the benefit of the doubt. Mother Jones has a history of supporting the #MeToo movement, with Drum himself penning an article in 2018 where he stated his belief that Christine Blasey Ford, who accused then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in their teens, was telling the truth. 

"I think it’s obvious that Christine Blasey Ford was telling the truth and that Kavanaugh told a lot of lies," Drum wrote in September of 2018.

Democrat Wins in Georgia Would Allow Biden to Fulfill Vow to Sign LGBT Equality Act

 Dr. Susan Berry


"Democrat victories in the Georgia Senate runoff elections would allow Joe Biden to follow through on his promise to sign the Equality Act in his first 100 days as president, a measure that would codify gender ideology into federal law." . . .

. . . "The legislation, as introduced in Congress, states its purpose is to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes.” If enacted, the bill would essentially codify gender ideology into federal law.

"Prohibiting discrimination and promoting equality sound virtuous, but many serious opponents — including a coalition of conservatives, feminists, lesbians, and Christians — warned Americans prior to the House’s vote on the measure that the Equality Act is dangerous legislation that will do anything but create equality. In fact, the legislation would likely force American women to relinquish their rights to privacy, safety, and the ability to compete in sports “equally”:

Biden calls Buttigieg’s husband ‘Kirsten,’ snubs gay GOP cabinet member

 NY Post  "President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday mangled his rollout of Pete Buttigieg as the “first” gay cabinet nominee — using a female name for Buttigieg’s husband and omitting mention of President Trump having named the first gay cabinet-level official.

"Biden noted his fondness for Buttigieg’s husband “Kirsten” during a speech in Wilmington, Del., as he formally named the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor as his nominee for transportation secretary.

"Biden also snubbed Ric Grenell, whom Trump celebrated this year as the first gay cabinet member when he worked three months as acting director of national intelligence.

“ 'His husband is an educator — always, always the mark of good character, it’s the way I look at it,” Biden said of Buttigieg.

“ 'And by the way, Jill and I have always enjoyed seeing Pete and Kirsten — Chasten, I should say — together on the trail. Chasten has become a close friend of Jill’s and mine.”

"Buttigieg, 38, won the Iowa caucuses in terms of delegate count this year but endorsed Biden in an effort to stop socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who had won the popular vote in the first three states.

"Biden made the embarrassing mistake while saying Buttigieg would be among a “cabinet of firsts.' ” . . .

What Rep. Cleaver did would be laughable if it weren't sacrilegious and stupid

"But try telling that to Emanuel Cleaver (and I still can't get over the fact that this man is a pastor who graduated from the St. Paul School of Theology in Oklahoma City).  When Cleaver, a Democrat United States representative from Missouri, gave the prayer for the 117th Congress on Sunday, he decided to de-gender the word "amen" and added "a-women" to his prayer:.
."

Andrea Widburg  "On Saturday, news broke that the Democrats are going to remove all gendered words from the House of Representatives.  On Sunday, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a pastor, opened the 117th Congress with a prayer.  At its conclusion, he said "amen," and then added "a-women."  What he said was both stupid and sacrilegious.

I wrote here about the newly "woke" House's push to remove gendered language.  I pointed out that, in English, at least, gendered words fall into two categories.  There are words that describe a job using both male and female terms, such as "chairman v. chairwoman" or "steward v. stewardess."  For the most part, it's not a big deal to change those words.  Indeed, most of them have already been changed in ordinary usage.  We speak of the "chair" or of "flight attendants."

However, the House is also going to do away with gendered words that apply specifically to the realities of human biology.  No longer will there be "sons and daughters" or "mothers and fathers," or any other descriptors that are tied to genetic codes that make people male or female.  Instead, there will be "parents" and "children," as well as other "gender-neutral" language, as if there is no difference between the sexes.

This is not an inconsequential change.  It is, instead, part of the left's entire push to force Americans to deny reality.  Reality is that humans, like all mammals, break down into two sexes: male and female.  The sexes have different body types, different brain structures, and different reproductive functions.

News and "entertainment" media leave a trail of slime

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the Surgeon General. Joe Biden's wife. She would never do it but, yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor. -The View, March 4, 2020

Buttering Up Biden: How ‘The View’ Spent 2020, Shilling for Joe Biden  "Even before he was the official Democrat nominee for president, Joe Biden’s friends at The View regularly and religiously propped up his campaign this year. Whether it was parroting the Democrat’s overt lies or even touting his wife’s so-called medical qualifications, the candidate could always count on the talk show hosts to volunteer as his PR team. 

"Here's the year's worst examples of the sycophantic hosts defending and protecting the Democrat:" .  . .

Shill:  "A shill is a hustler or con-person who tries to convince other people to buy something or think something is great ( shilling ). The shill has ulterior motives for their actions, usually because they are the actual seller or have something to gain if the product sells well. The word shill has a complicated history, oddly appropriate considering the underhanded meaning of the slang word."

The Media’s Four-Year War Against the Trump Presidency  . . . "While every President has their critics in the press, the Trump presidency has been unique in that a massive percentage of the media — hosts, columnists, commentators, contributors, anchors and working reporters — openly mock and disparage the President of the United States, often to the cheers of their brethren. Here’s eight minutes of their worst:" . . .  Revealing videos showing a contemptible press:

After four years, our research documents a liberal media establishment that jettisoned its last professional restraints to become active opponents of the President of the United States:

There’s something peculiar about the vandalism at Pelosi’s house

  Andrea Widburg  


"An ugly story emerged on New Year’s Day: Vandals had attacked Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco house, leaving behind graffiti on her garage complaining about the stimulus bill, along with a pig’s head in a puddle of red paint. People less credulous than the media, though, noticed that the vandals were kind enough to do their dirty deed without touching the brick facing on Pelosi’s house. These may have been polite vandals, or there may be more here than meets the eye.

"A local media outlet, KPIX, reported the story:

The new year brought a disturbing discovery at the San Francisco home of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, where, early Friday morning, vandals spray-painted her house and left a severed pig’s head in front of her garage.

The graffiti says “Cancel rent” and “We want everything” — possibly referencing coronavirus stimulus checks. There was also a severed pig’s head in a pool of red paint left in front of the garage door.

"The original story made Antifa look simultaneously sympathetic and really bad. The good part was the “cancel rent” statement. The bad part was the vandalism itself. No civilized people want to be victims of ugly graffiti nor do they want it to happen to others, including San Fran Nan, no matter how vile her politics. Moreover, Pelosi’s position may make the vandalism a federal crime.

"At first pass, the photo of the damage is very ugly. The garage door is completely covered with graffiti and the pig’s head is disturbing:" . . .
