Tucker Carlson Says Things, Brian Stelter Gets Really Upset

 RedState

"Tucker Carlson said some things, and Brian Stelter got triggered. That’s basically a recurring theme at this point, with CNN having an entire division that obsesses over the top-rated, cable news host.

"That division is led by Brian Stelter, a journalist of such quality that he even writes his own chyrons sometimes.

"In today’s episode of “what did Tucker say to make people gnash their teeth,” we have some light criticism of the media that got Stelter’s undergarments all in a bunch (at least he kept his pants on this time).

"Tucker Carlson hates the media. What a stunning revelation? But Carlson also happens to be right. The media are made up of cowards who refuse to report on certain stories because of what they fear will be negative political consequences for their side, and rest assured, they have a side. I mean, maybe the “cringing animals” quip was a bit much, but on second thought, it wasn’t a bit much.

"Stelter is like a small dog nipping at the heels of a giant. Tucker doesn’t even have to interact with the guy. After all, why give someone with such low ratings the attention?

"Of course, Stelter’s assertion that journalists are punching up is nonsense. CNN got caught harassing an old lady for hosting a Facebook event it claimed to have been promoted by some Russians. Meanwhile, the latest example involves a healthcare professional who got doxxed and targeted because of a $10 donation to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund." . . .

Black assailants' lives matter, Black victims' lives don't

Why Does No One Seem Glad the Girl in the Pink Sweatsuit Is Still Alive?

Civis Americanus  "LeBron James apparently deleted a tweet in which he posted, "YOU'RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY" with a picture of police officer Nicholas Reardon, who shot Ma'Khia Bryant, who is on body cam video brandishing a knife within a foot of another Black person (the one in the pink outfit).

"This underscores the accuracy of what the student who was forced out of "canceler" Hardin-Simmons University posted about Black Lives Matter.  If Bryant had succeeded in killing the other Black woman, the latter would be just one more anonymous crime victim as opposed to a useful martyr to the Cause.  If Hakim Littleton, who is on body cam video pointing a gun at a cop's head, had succeeded in killing the officer instead of being shot dead by the cop's partner, the officer would be just one more anonymous dead "pig" as opposed to a useful martyr to the Cause.

"The body cam video of Reardon shows, meanwhile, that he probably saved the Black victim from death or serious injury by placing four shots into the body of her assailant, and nowhere else, even though Bryant was essentially on top of the victim. That might be easy enough to do on a firing range with inanimate shoot/don't shoot targets with enough practice, but it's a lot harder when you have to do it with an innocent person in your line of fire and perhaps less than a second to save her life.

"Our country used to call police, firefighters, and paramedics who save the lives of innocent people "heroes" — and some of us still do.  Officer Reardon deserves a commendation, but the "woke" left prefers to call cops who take any Black life, even a perp threatening another Black life, racists, murderers, and white supremacists.  This includes Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, who libelously accused the officer who shot Michael Brown in self-defense of "murder."  Both are attorneys and should know full well that a false public accusation of murder is libel per se." . . . More here.

Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way.  The author is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.

Trump SAVAGES LeBron James For Threatening a Police Officer's Life "On Wednesday,

NBA Lakers star LeBron James tweeted something that looked very much like an incitement to murder a police officer. James rushed to conclusions about the shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, a black girl who appears to have been lunging at someone with a deadly knife when the cop shot her. James later took down the tweet, but he claimed that this shooting represents yet more evidence of systemic racism.

"President Donald Trump took him to task on Thursday night." . . .

Seattle Antifa Hate Group Threatens to Burn Down Church Over Event With Charlie Kirk

"It’s unclear how the terror threats were communicated to the church leadership, but Pastor Archer said the fact that the cops don’t have the manpower to help and the governor doesn’t have the political will to fight back means the church would have been left to the antifa arsonists and vandals of antifa and BLM."

 PJ Media  "A Puyallup, Wash., church has canceled an event featuring conservative speaker Charlie Kirk after antifa activists threatened to burn down all of its buildings and torch the neighbors’ properties too.

"Motion Church planned an event with Kirk, the head of Turning Point USA and a Christian speaker, on May 2.

"The church, in a community south of Seattle, ministers to the homeless, lost, and addicted people in addition to hosting regular services and events at the church for families, and those seeking to know Christ more.

"But hosting Charlie Kirk was just a bridge too far for the antifa terror group." . . .

DHS whistleblower says border guards are ‘burned out’ from Biden policies

NY Post  "A Homeland Security whistleblower is offering a glimpse into how officers facing the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis are faring — saying Biden administration policies “were implemented  irresponsibly” by people who are removed from the situation on the ground and “do not have any sense of realism.”

"In an interview with Fox News‘ Sara Carter on “Hannity” Thursday evening, the unidentified DHS official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed increasing frustration at the federal government’s handling of the situation.

" 'People are just very burned out and there’s not a lot of optimism that it’s going to get better anytime soon,” the unnamed official, a male, told Carter.

"The official went on to say that he was frustrated with President Biden’s border policies.

“ 'I think the policies were implemented irresponsibly and I think they do not have any sense of realism,” the man explained." . . .

Democrats to Americans: Screw you

And they somehow end up in office anyway.  Who should be "pushing back," Maxine?  Who should be taking to the streets in protest, Kamala?

Eric Utter  "A serious question: How is it that any Democrats ever get elected to national office?  Cheating now leaps to mind, but other than that?  Their policies fly in the face of the beliefs and values of a distinct and measurable majority of Americans. But they don't even care about the poll numbers.

• Most Americans are adamantly against defunding the police, African-Americans included.
• Most Americans are against Democrat plans to pack the Supreme Court.
• Most Americans are against leaving their border(s) open and rewarding those who choose to come here illegally by giving them free goods and services.
• Most Americans are against the concept and practice of unlimited immigration.
• At least a slight majority of Americans realize that abolishing the oil, gas, and coal industries and enacting the Green New Deal will destroy their nation's economy and dramatically worsen their lives — and those of their descendants.
• Most Americans do not believe that man-caused global warming/climate change is an existential threat to their country or the planet as a whole.
• The large majority of Americans are against late-term and "after-birth" abortions.

"Etc., etc., etc.

"And Democrats seemingly reply, "Frankly, Americans, we don't give a damn!"

Sharpton reveals the real goal

Sharpton built his career on being a reverend who led protests, often for incidents that were like the Goetz and Brawley cases.  Sharpton gets high praise from Biden's UN ambassador

Don Surber   "I am not sure if it was a gaffe or whether Al Sharpton believes the goal is a cinch now, but today he told the truth about the Democrat goal with their anti-police riots.

"They want to create a police state run by Washington.

"Via Breitbart, Sharpton told MSNBC, "I think that the possibility of change is absolutely there at this moment.

"I’ve talked to Congresswoman Bass. I’ve talked to Senator Cory Booker. There are conversations going with Tim Scott."

The plan is to capitalize on a yearlong PR campaign to federalize your local police.

"He said, "As you saw a conviction of Chauvin, and then you see during the trial, the killing of Daunte Wright, and now we have a situation we’re looking to see what it is in Ohio and North Carolina, all in this short period of time, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and all of these cases happened right around the time of George Floyd.

" 'If we can’t do it now, when will we ever be able to do it? I think the time has come for the nation to deal with it. President Biden and Vice President Harris have said it needs to be dealt with. We are seeing the absolute time that policing must be defined by the federal government. And if we don’t do it, we’ll continue to see these things, and it will end up tearing this society apart in an irreparable way."

"Sharpton's entire career has been devoted to undermining public confidence and trust in the police. He began by protesting the Bernard Goetz acquittal. On December 22, 1984, he shot four black men who tried to rob him on the subway." . . .

"Hi, I am a retired newspaperman. I wrote 3 books on Trump and the media. I live in Poca, WV, with my wife of 43 years, Lou Ann. I grew up in Cleveland. Recently promoted to grandfather." D.S.

Former celebrity vocal coach shares how 'darkness' in Hollywood inspired album on spiritual warfare

 Christian Post  "A Hollywood celebrity vocal coach has shared how, after God opened her eyes to the “darkness” surrounding her in the secular music industry, she felt compelled to write a worship album focusing on spiritual warfare.

"For years, Kira Fontana worked as a successful vocal coach to major labels and shows such as Glee and The Voice. But the longer she spent in the music industry, the more disillusioned she became by the darkness she witnessed all around her. 

“ 'It’s darker than most people could ever imagine,” Fontana told The Christian Post. “If you look at the content of the lyrics of the songs that are played on the radio, it’s unbelievably immoral and dark and anti-Jesus. When I started to see the sheer percentage of songs and videos that were leaning heavily in that direction, I came to recognize that it could not be an accident. People in very powerful positions are backing it; there are gatekeepers who are wanting this content that we hear now to be prevalent in our society.”

“ 'It’s akin to poisoning our community, and our kids are drinking from a very, very, very destructive cup,” she said. “I saw the effect on kids as I worked in the city, and that effect is spreading. LA is the communication center for this planet; when you go to other countries, you still see content made in Los Angeles. It became a really heavy responsibility.”

"Though an unbeliever, Fontana felt a strong, invisible pull away from the secular music industry." . . .

“I think the song 'Refuge' will always have a special place in my heart because that's where God started to just redeem everything for me by giving me that song,” she said. “It’s such a declaration of who He is. No matter what's going on around us, if we are abiding in Him, we are safe and secure.”

 "Now, Fontana also serves as a Christian music producer and the founder of KINGDOM SOUND, a boutique music production company and record label.
