What's Dumber Than CRT? CNN

This has been patiently explained roughly 1 million times. But why bother knowing stuff when smug arrogance is good enough for CNN?

 Ann Coulter "As we discussed last week, "critical race theory" is a subtle philosophical construct where the answer to everything is: THAT'S RACIST! Teachers hawking this glop are being defended by their journalist allies, who sneer that CRT critics are too stupid to understand the nuances of the theory. 

"The Aristotelian ideal of this sneer was Elle Reeve's "special report" for CNN -- pre-taped to eliminate any danger of Elle being contradicted by someone smarter, such as a 10-year-old. 

"CNN's Brianna Keilar introduced the segment by asking her: "Do these vocal opponents of critical race theory actually understand fully what it is?"

" (That's what's known as a "rhetorical question," kids!) 

"Elle: "No." [Bored] "And why should they? It's an academic theory taught mostly at the grad student level. But what they think it means is teaching white kids that all white people are bad and racist. And so, of course they're afraid of that." 

"They're afraid!!! Wait -- remind me: Who's banning books, again? Who's flipping out about "microaggressions"? Who's demanding that Big Tech censor people? Who's demanding "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" from speech they don't like?

" Parents aren't "afraid"; they're incensed. They're paying the salaries of people who spend all day telling their kids that America is racist. (Elle didn't give that explanation. Perhaps it frightens her.)" . . .

Donald Trump Tells Dinner Guests He is Running for President in 2024, According to New Report


  Trending Politics  "Donald Trump is primed to give the presidency another run in 2024, according to a new report broken by the Rolling Stone.

“ 'Trump has told at least three people he’s dined with in recent months that he plans to run in 2024, a former senior official at the Republican National Committee tells Rolling Stone.”

“ 'I have three friends who’ve had dinner with him in the last couple of months,” the report said citing the former RNC official. “All three reported that his current plans are to run for president in 2024.”

“ 'Now, whether he does or not is a different issue,” the official added. “We’ve still got three years to go. But he’s telling people that.”

"The 45th president’s announcement that he plans to run again reportedly came at a series of dinners." . . .

New York Supermarket Chains Drop Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream After 'Shameful' Move to Boycott Israel

 PJ Media


"Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, were woke before it was cool to be woke. Even after the pair of aging hippies sold the brand to food giant Unilever, their social justice influence continued, thanks to an acquisition agreement with Unilever in which the company agreed to carry on the founders’ tradition of engaging “in critical, global economic and social missions.”

So it’s not surprising that Unilever released a statement on Monday saying it would no longer sell Ben & Jerry’s products in the “occupied territories” — the West Bank and Gaza Strip — once its licensing agreement in Israel expires in 2022.

“ 'Although Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in the OPT, we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement. We will share an update on this as soon as we’re ready,” Unilever’s statement explained.

"This blatant cave-in to pressure by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement did not sit well with some New York supermarket chains.

World Israel News:

The board of directors of Morton Williams Supermarkets quickly met and decided that their 15 stores in the city that never sleeps (and one in New Jersey) would cut 70% of its B&J products, the New York Post reported Tuesday. Co-owner Avi Kaner told the daily that his shops would also stop promoting the brand in its circulars and put what was left in “the least desirable locations” of the freezer section.

While unwilling to alienate certain customers by a complete ban, Kaner said he would work to create a domino effect to send a “strong message” to B&J.

“ 'Of all the places in the world to boycott, Ben & Jerry’s has chosen to target the one Jewish nation in the world,” he said. The company, Kaner added, is “reaching out to other major retailers and distributors in the hope that they will follow suit.”

"Kaner tweeted out, “Please try Haagen-Dazs ice cream – you’ll love it!' ” . . .

Texas Democrat Compares Abbott's Threat of Arrest to Slavery

"We refuse to be a hostage,” she said during a speech in Alexandria, Virginia, on Friday. "I know there are search warrants out for us and I'm ready to be arrested," Thompson continued. "What do you do to a slave if you don't do nothing but arrest them when they flee. We fled Texas and if they want to arrest me, go ahead. I’m ready to be arrested."

Biden drifts off answering a question during CNN's town hall with Don Lemon, appears to listen to earpiece to get out of incoherent ramble

Every head of government in the world knows that the president is not up to the job.  Compassion demands that we urge him to resign and get the care that he needs.  But common sense says President Kamala Harris would be a worse disaster, and even Democrats know it.  So we are stuck.

 

Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr : The most popular president in American history can’t fill a small auditorium. 

80,000,000 votes, but Joe Biden can't fill an auditorium  " President Joe Biden (D) breezed into Cincinnati for a CNN town hall.  Very few people cared." . . .

Joe Biden Babbles Incoherently During CNN Town Hall Train Wreck  . . . “ 'Yo-you got the vaccination?” Biden asked the host, who replied that he had.
“ 'Are you okay? You see now it works, or-or-or- the mom and dad, or-or-or the neighbor, or when you go to church, or when you’re, I-I-I really mean it,” Biden stuttered. “There are trusted interlocutors. Think of the people. If your kid wanted to find out whether or not there were—there was a man on the moon or you know something, or whether those aliens are here or not. I mean, who are the kids they’re talking to beyond the kids who love talking about it,” he said." . . .
. . . "He also took the opportunity to spread vaccine misinformation, stating definitively that if you’ve gotten the vaccine, you will not get COVID." . . .
The truth is, many fully vaccinated people in the United States and overseas are getting COVID, although the vaccine is thought to reduce the severity of symptoms. Six of the Texas Democrats who fled Texas to Washington DC to avoid voting on a GOP voter integrity bill, tested positive for COVID, and were fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, NJ.com reported on Wednesday that 49 people who were fully vaccinated have died of COVID in the state.

 Biden’s CNN townhall dumpster fire: flirty, flighty and frazzled  . . . "The lack of attendance at the event was stunning. Everyone was seated in the front seats and CNN tried to make the auditorium appear fuller than it was. It is not clear whether the low attendance was due to the pandemic or not.

"CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas told The New York Post, “This was a typical audience size for a CNN town hall.” She did not clarify why the crowd size was so small." . . .


Introducing a physician as a Republican, CNN gets challenged: 

 July 22, 2021 1:52 pm

The Physician from Cincinnati who IDed herself as a Republican is a liar… If you look at her Facebook page she is your typical card carrying lefty who thought she could fool everyone by claiming Conservative lineage… Supported Obama , Hillary and Biden, big Obamacare, anti gun and pro abortion… I think you get the picture… CNN has NO shame thinking that they would get her by us…

"CNN is known for this. I think they’ve been caught in the past planting former Democrat Campaign workers in those ‘Townhall” audiences." . . .

 

The people of Cuba deserve freedom

 GrrrGraphics

In Havana they are waving American flags, in Portland, they are burning American flags.


"Circle back White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that Cuban protesters yelling “freedom!” during anti-communist protests were in reality demanding “freedom from rising COVID cases.”

"Psaki’s attempt at gaslighting was a complete fail.

"On Sunday Cuba experienced the largest protests against the brutal communism they are forced to live under in recent memory. If they were protesting against “rising COVID cases” why were they not wearing masks and shouting “Death to COVID.” . . .

Cuban American students rally for country’s freedom

Trump backs Cuban protesters, demands Biden stand up to communist regime

Hands Off: Is President Biden Protecting the Obama Legacy in Cuba?   . . [Biden's] "soft-soap response ought to sound familiar. What we are seeing in Cuba is an uprising against a brutal communist dictatorship. We also saw this in 2009 in Iran during the Green Movement Revolution. Similarly, then, the U.S., under President Obama, issued a weak response that failed to support those who tried to throw off the yoke of Islamist extremism in Tehran.

"President Obama said during a White House press conference at the time, 

“My hope and expectation is that we’re going to continue to see the people of Iran have the courage to be able to express their yearning for greater freedoms and a more representative government, understanding that America cannot ultimately dictate what happens inside of Iran any more than it could inside of Egypt.”

"President Biden was then vice president. He likely had some voice in the U.S. response as President Obama had often said that Biden was a part of every important decision he made while president. Unfortunately, the reason President Obama responded so weakly to the Green Revolution in Iran is also the reason President Biden is responding weakly to the aspirations of the Cuban people now." . . .
