ESPN’s Leadership Team of Far Left Ideologues Just Grew by One

Media Research Center   "Maybe it’s time ESPN just goes ahead and makes it official by registering as a political action committee. It should register under the title of LEFTSPIN and drop all pretention of honest reporting. The sports network is flagging in viewership while surging under the banner of left-ism. The latest evidence is the promotion of Connor Schell, a hardcore, Trump-hating Democrat, to the role of executive vice-president.

"Schell will oversee television, print and online operations and will rank second in command at LEFTSPIN behind only John Skipper.

"Schell joins the leadership team of Disney CEO Bob Iger, who has floated the idea of running for president and taking full advantage of the ESPN propaganda machine to do so. That should get the attention of the Federal Election Commission. Skipper is also recognized as a far Left ideologue.

"On the night of the presidential election last fall, Schell nearly exhausted himself with angry tweets against Donald Trump. He was disgusted with Trump’s emergence as the victor and claimed that the president-elect oppresses minorities, women and gays. Schell must have missed the RNC convention speech by Peter Thiel, the billionaire friend of Trump's and launcher of PayPal who called the culture war “fake” and asked who cares who uses what bathroom.

"Schell also blamed dumb people for the election of Donald Trump and retweeted the harsh criticisms of Trump by Greg Popovich, coach of the San Antonio Spurs.

"Additionally, Schell generated tremendous controversy in 2015 by giving Bruce/Caitlin Jenner the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the annual ESPY Awards. Schell and Maura Mandt, the co-executive producers of that event, were roundly criticized for that. They told Sports Illustrated that Jenner showed “courage” for dealing with his gender issue instead of riding off into the sunset. That’s a spurious claim if ever there was one because it takes courage not to go along with the LGBT agenda. Agreeing with it is considered politically correct."

Iran's triangle of fear

The Green Revolution in Iran sought to overthrow the Mullah's regime of terror but the feckless Obama deserted them, all to preserve the "good will" of Iran's leaders  and Obama's cherished "Iran Deal" giving the upper hand to the Ayatollah's rule at the expense of America's integrity. A powerful symbol of the revolt against the Mullah's reign was the shooting death of young Neda Agha-Soltan, the final result of which is that Neda is dead and the Obama-Iran deal lives on. The Tunnel Dweller

Shahriar Kia  "There is a Persian proverb saying those fearing the dark scream to overcome their fears.  Iran, considering its domestic and foreign dilemmas, resembles that very individual who is afraid of the dark and is screaming to overcome its fears.

"On Wednesday, June 7, Iran was attacked by terrorists in a twin assault that ISIS claimed responsibility for, targeting the parliament and the tomb of the regime's founder.  In contrast to others victimized by terrorism, Tehran actually welcomed this attack and portrays itself as the victim.

"Iran was under intense pressure from an international coalition against its measures in the Middle East and needed an escape route.  Tehran sought to cloak the reality of being the central banker of international terrorism.  The position taken by U.S. president Donald Trump and a recent Senate resolution became impassable hurdles.  To this end, Iran began broadcasting fake news accusing the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Iran's main opposition coalition."

Iran is witnessing the establishment of an international coalition led by Riyadh and backed by Washington against its meddling in the region.  Iran's golden era of Obama's appeasement doctrine has come to an end, and the mullahs will begin paying the price for their atrocities in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and other countries.

Trump assassination play interrupted by protesters

Its about time for this to happen, however small.

Rick Moran  A protest against the Shakespeare in the Park production of "Julius Caesar," which depicts the assassination of President Trump was interrupted by two protesters who work for the website Rebel Media.  The protest was streamed live on social media.

Laura Loomer was first to hit the stage.  She screamed, "Stop leftist violence" before being drowned out by booing members of the audience.  She was hustled offstage.  The New York Post reports that she was arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing.

After Loomer was taken away, Jack Posobiec, also of Rebel Media, who recorded the whole thing, began to shout, "You are all Nazis" before he, too, was dragged off by security people.

BREAKING: Julius Ceasar Gets SHUTDOWN pic.twitter.com/ITgfMR0tHE

— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) June 17, 2017

Notice anything left out by the Post in their reporting on the incident?

As she interrupted the play, fellow blogger and conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec filmed the disturbance while screaming "Goebbels would be proud" at the audience.

Police said the woman was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing.

The duo apparently staged a protest because they were upset that the classic Shakespeare play depicts a US president similar to Donald Trump as Julius Caesar.

The Post refused to give the real reason for the protest.  The Rebel Media writers weren't upset so much that Trump was being parodied.  They were upset for the obvious reason that Caesar is assassinated.  If they had depicted Trump as Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night, no one would give a hoot. Funny how the Post forgot to mention the proximate cause of the protest.

The transgression against civil society and common decency in depicting the assassination of a sitting president is serious enough to warrant this type of protest.  No one connected with that show can hold their head up after disgracing the American theater with this blatantly un-American, fascist, anti-liberal display of hate for the president.

Goodness knows you can oppose Donald Trump without resorting to wishing for (encouraging?) his death.  This is the sort of propaganda that the notorious anti-Semite Julius Streicher published in his daily newspaper, Der Stürmer.  The anti-Jewish propaganda published by Streicher and the Nazi party encouraged ordinary people to kill Jews.  I fail to see the difference between that and what the Shakespeare in the Park production is trying to accomplish.

The tremendous irony is this: the more the left's hysteria about Trump gets out of control the more likely his re-election.  The vast majority of voters do not see Donald Trump as Hitler, nor do they see him as a threat to American liberty.  And if the Democrats nominate a candidate who expresses the same hatred of Donald Trump shown by their far-left base, the president will win in a landslide.

“Kill List” – Report: James Hodgkinson Carried Republican Assassination List…

The Last Refuge   "The kill list carried by James Hodgkinson included Alabama Representative Mo Brooks, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, there may be others yet undisclosed.   UPDATE: Six Names appear on the list.  All members of the House Freedom Caucus."

"James Hodgkinson was a member of Senator Bernie Sanders election campaign and his social media postings represent the customary writing and positioning of the ordinary Sanders supporters.  There is nothing different in any of Hodgkinson’s espousal’s from the visible proclamations of almost all of Bernie voters; that’s the concerning aspect.

"As Sevenwheel points out:

The striking thing about Hodgkinson’s facebook page isn’t how crazy it is. The striking thing about it is that his facebook account looks exactly like the facebook page of every other progressive on facebook. Same likes, same hate-groups, same reposted hate articles. Same spiteful comments. There’s nothing unusual about him.

His facebook page is indistinguishable from that of any other progressive.

Impeach Trump’s Impeachers; "They’re dirty and crooked as hell."

House Resolution 635 pushing for impeachment was sponsored by Congressman Conyers whose wife would be convicted of bribery charges. Congressional co-sponsors included Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Jesse Jackson Jr., who was sent to prison for mail fraud, Charlie Rangel, who was found guilty of 11 ethics violations, Bernie Sanders, whose wife is under FBI investigation for the Burlington College fraud and Bob Filner, who was convicted of false imprisonment and battery.

Daniel Greenfield

"The rush to impeach President Trump is on by an opposition party that lacks the votes, evidence or legal basis for such a move. But since when did an illegal left-wing coup need any of those things?

"No Dem has been more honest about the real motive for impeachment than Congressman Ted Lieu.

“ 'We should not give him a chance to govern,” Lieu had declared after Trump had been in office for ten days. And he predicted that, “I do believe that if we win back the House of Representatives, impeachment proceedings will be started.”

"What was the basis for impeaching President Trump after ten days in office? Lieu made it clear that if the Democrats won, they would try to impeach Trump no matter what.

"That’s not how things work in the United States. But the left is running America like a banana republic.

"More recently Lieu had mused that, "A recent poll came out saying that 46 percent of Americans want the president impeached, and certainly members of Congress take notice."

"And what better basis could there be for impeachment than popular Dem support for the move?" . . .

Sorry, Dr. Krauthammer: The problem is on the left

Thomas Lifson  "There are few political commentators who come up to the level of Dr. Charles Krauthammer, but yesterday he managed to say something very intelligent, reasonable, superficially correct, and wrong-headed.  In his appearance on Special Report yesterday, he blamed multiple factors that involve both parties for the horrendous violence enacted on a baseball practice field, turning it from a field of dreams to a field of nightmares.

ROBERTS: "In the middle of all of this, Charles, an editorial in 'The New York Times' which again repeated the much discredited meme that a Sarah Palin ad was responsible for the Gabby Giffords shooting. So even the media is in on this game, too, not just the political sides."

KRAUTHAMMER: "I agree. That editorial this morning repeating that was not only scandalous but unbelievable because that is a 6-year-old story that's been debunked within three days. It turned out it had nothing at all to do with her. The man who did the shooting was a paranoid schizophrenic. I think the problem here is twofold. It's not just a style but it's also the objectives. There's now a style in our politics where the ad hominem is a norm. People ought to fight over policy but once you begin to question the motives, the patriotism of your opponent, you have gone too far. The worst thing, and I think this is overlooked — the two parties, the two ideologies, you might say, speak about the politics in apocalyptic terms. If the other guy wins, it's the end of the republic. If the other guy wins, it's the end of the world. The man who did the shooting yesterday is a man who bought into that quite literally. You can speak about it hyperbolically. When those are stakes, when you say, 'Unless we stop Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the republic will not survive,' then it justifies anything. That is the language, the ideology, the rationale of terrorists. The fate of the world hangs on this. And it's up to the leadership to say, 'These are policies. This is not the fate of the republic.'". . . 

 "Michelle Malkin nailed it:

Yes, there are extremists on all sides. But the problem is, whether we are talking about political violence against conservatives on campus, beheading rhetoric and imagery from Hollywood liberals that hate conservatives and Donald Trump to just a couple of days ago when you had one of these antifa protesters stabbing a police horse in the neck, an act for America's anti-sharia protests. There's a problem on the left and they need to acknowledge it."

 Democratic Staffers Booed Trump At ‘Unity’ Congressional Baseball Game

For Democrats, it's come down to 'Just Get Someone'

If the Democrats can get someone of high standing, anyone, and force that individual to resign or be fired in disgrace—casting a huge negative pall on Trump’s presidency—then the Democrats will consider themselves successful. That’s the end-game here.

Steve Feinstein  "The November 2016 election of Donald Trump has so incensed the liberal mainstream media and the Democratic establishment that they’ve become virtually unhinged emotionally in their zeal to delegitimize and torpedo his presidency. Far from “coming together as one country after a hard-fought election campaign,” the Democrats and their liberal media collaborators have embarked on a nonstop, all-out crusade to destroy the Trump administration, thereby somehow reversing and overturning last November’s election result. That is their objective, make no mistake: Disqualify, reverse, and oust.

"The Democrats’ disqualification vehicle of choice is some vague, unspecified illegal connection that the Trump people had with Russian operatives before the election that enabled the Russians to manipulate the American voting process in a targeted manner to alter the vote, away from Hillary Clinton, and give it to Donald Trump." . . .

For the Democrats, the goal is get someone. Anyone. Call for endless panels, hearings and investigations. Hold press conferences. Show off for the cameras. Ignite the passions of the hosts at CNN and MSNBC. Provide humorous fodder for the "Daily Show," "Saturday Night Live," and Stephen Colbert at the Republicans’ expense. Try to make Trump and his administration look like buffoonish lying thieves and use the overwhelmingly liberal media to influence the 20%-undecideds.

Grade A Horse Manure. Incitement To Violence Is Not A Bipartisan Problem

Bookworm Room  . . . "Stephen Stromberg, a Wapo editorial writer, does a variation on the theme.  Rather than point to specific conservative incitement, he calls the Bernie bro attempted massacre of Republican Congresscritters “an attack on all of us,” then justifies the progressive rage:

The system often feels unfair. Skewed electoral maps favor one party over another. Rural areas are overrepresented. Party fringes often exert more control over the agenda than the broad middle, where much of the country really is and the only place from which it can be effectively governed. Political money skews legislation. After an election such as last year’s, it is easy for the losing side to feel hopeless and desperate.

"So, the electoral college system and a Supreme Court decision that diminished the obscene domination of unions funding the prog hard left in politics justified the shooting?  What a worthless human being.

"Michael Tomasky, writing at the Daily Beast, points out, with some justification, that one left wing shooter does not create a movement.  But take a look around at everything else going on.  The prog rhetoric of violence is all around us. 

Venom, violence and vindictiveness from the left

The Empire Strikes Back   . . . "There is a difference between “aggressive rhetoric” and severed heads and bricks through windows during an inauguration. And why were there “outbreaks of violence” at some of Trump’s campaign rallies? Because Democratic Party operatives paid provocateurs to disrupt the rallies in hopes of starting fights.

"Next, the AP turns to Democrat James Clyburn, who is best known for lying about a Tea Party rally. Clyburn claimed that he had been barraged with racial insults, when many videos of the incident showed his claims to be false, and despite a substantial cash bounty, no one was ever able to come up with the slightest evidence that Clyburn’s smear was true." . . .

In 2011, Hodgkinson appeared on local television in St. Louis at an Occupy protest, denouncing the “one percent.” No mention whether he defecated on an American flag as his colleagues did.

Several Shots Fired At Truck Flying ‘Make America Great Again’ Flag In Indiana  . . . "The victim and a witness informed police that the Malibu pulled up next to the pickup truck, a passenger held a handgun out of the window and then a male fired several shots.

"Police say no one was in injured in the incident. 

"The driver of the Malibu was described as a black male around the age of 23.
The passenger was described as a light skinned black male with a sleeve tattoo on his right arm."   And incidentally the shooter held the gun sideways, gangsta style.

How to Think about the Alexandria Attack  

By our lights, the person singly responsible for Wednesday’s horrors is the man who pulled the trigger. Nonetheless, a pattern of violence is difficult to ignore. Hodginkson’s would-be massacre comes on the heels an attempt last month to run GOP congressman David Kustoff (Tenn.) off the road for supporting the House’s Obamacare-replacement bill, of credible threats of violence against Oregon’s Multnomah County Republican party in April (serious enough that local officials canceled an annual parade, where party members were slated to appear), of a series of violent attacks by “anti-fascists,” and of the firebombing of a GOP headquarters in North Carolina during the election cycle. Recent weeks have seen a glut of wishful thinking about a Trump assassination, most obviously the macabre hijinks of Kathy Griffin. A few on the left have encouraged these episodes; most have been silent.

Top 6 Media Lies That Radicalized the Violent Left   . . . "The anti-Trump rhetoric has morphed into violence and bloodshed more than once over the last year. It began during Trump rallies when Chicago operative Bob Creamer was instrumental in hiring thugs to start violence and bloody up Trump supporters at events. This tactic, called bird-dogging, was used over the entire campaign season at many rallies in order to make it possible for the Democrat media lapdogs like CNN to report that Trump supporters were violent mobs. That narrative failed when James O'Keefe released an undercover video showing Democrat operatives plotting these hoaxes. But the violence didn't end there. Antifa mobs organized to "bash the fash" at pro-Trump or pro-free speech rallies to stop people from hearing controversial speakers like Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter. They rationalized this action by claiming they were stopping "Nazis" and "white supremacists." The complicit media did nothing to stop such ridiculous claims, but instead fed the flames of hatred. " . . .
