Outlets like the @NYtimes and @CNN doxed kids and tried to destroy conservatives’ lives by pushing false allegations, but don’t you dare mock one of their past tweets.

Bias has killed the ‘Gray Lady’ — and Dean Baquet fired the fatal shot 
. . . "In this case, it is also impossible not to be disheartened and furious. The transcript shows that the rot of bias at the Times is far beyond the pale and there is no hope of recovery. Yet not a single person there declared the obvious — that the paper is ­betraying its principles.
"Rigor in reporting and restraint in judgment once made the Gray Lady noble. Now she is dead, her homicide an inside job." . . .

Contradicting Rashida Tlaib’s claims of Israeli oppression and racism, the village in which her grandmother lives is full of luxury items.

World Israel News  "One would be forgiven for thinking that Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother is suffering a life of poverty in a small dusty Arab village in Samaria given the congresswomen’s charges of Israeli “racism, oppression and injustice,” but the truth appears to be very different, Israel Hayom reports on Thursday.
"Tlaib’s grandmother, Muftiya, lives in the village Beit-Ur al-Fauqa. Her home has been described as a modest, one-story home, according to reports. Tlaib said she had hoped to pick figs with her. The image that’s been painted is one of dignified poverty.
"However, Israel Hayom took a look at the Facebook profiles of Tlaib’s relatives and a different picture emerges.
"“If you look at the Facebook profiles of people who actually live there, you will discover that things are actually not bad at all,” the paper says.
"One of the family, Achiam Tlaib, drives a new BMW and lives in a three-story building.
"Another, Raja Tlaib, can be seen on Facebook “posing next to his new Mercedes, wearing an expensive suit. He also has pictures showing him working out in a gym that has the latest equipment,” the paper says.
"Mawaid Tlaib vacations in Italy. Anas Tlaib enjoys a fancy Mercedes.
"Samach Tlaib speeds around in a BMW. Niaf Tlaib prefers a Corvette convertible (a car almost never seen in Israel itself). Israel Hayom says he can be seen standing before his new three-story home under construction.
"Rep. Tlaib of Michigan has made much of the “dehumanizing” checkpoints. But Israel Hayom says pictures show her family members visiting sites all over pre-1967 Israel, including Jaffa, Acre and Tel Aviv. Clearly, they have a great deal of freedom of movement." . . .

The Washington Post adds: Meet Rashida Tlaib’s grandma: ‘Who wouldn’t be proud of a granddaughter like that?’

Contradicting Rashida Tlaib’s claims of Israeli oppression and racism, the village in which her grandmother lives is full of luxury items.

. . . "Muftiyah Tlaib — who says she is somewhere between 85 and her early 90s — lives in the village of Beit Ur al-Fauqa, about 15 miles outside Jerusalem and close to the seam line between Israel and the West Bank, territory that Israel occupied in the 1967 war and that Palestinians hope to see as part of an independent state someday.
"She lives in the same elegant limestone house in the same sleepy village she has called home since 1974 — the house where the whole village once came to celebrate Rashida Tlaib’s wedding, and the house that looks directly onto an Israeli settlement with a visible military presence." . . .
From where, I might add, anti-Israel forces could position artillery and infantry to drive to the nearby sea, cutting Israel in half. TD

Left-Wing Institutions Mainstreaming Hatred

"Media Bias Is the Prime Enabler" . . ."Liberals use their dominance of the cultural heights (academia, media, entertainment, music industry, publishing, government bureaucracy, etc.) to constantly communicate and propagandize that all Republicans are repugnant, racist, misogynist, and cartoonish supervillains.  As actress Julia Roberts once intoned about George W. Bush, the gracious former Republican president, "Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant."

Fletch Daniels  "The contrasting reactions of conservatives and liberals to the news that libertarian philanthropist David Koch died and that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is suffering from a serious health problem highlight a fundamental difference between them.

Liberal Reaction to Death of Koch
"Prominent liberals exploded in vicious joy at the news that Koch had died.  Perhaps the worst reaction was Bill Maher, who said, "F‑‑‑ him...I'm glad he's dead, and I hope the end was painful."  An outlier?  Hardly.  His audience roared its approval.
"Bette Midler got in on the act, wishing his brother were also dead.  She echoed Maher's profanity-bomb language and directed it at Kay Cole James, the black American leader of the Heritage Foundation, showing once again that no insult directed toward a minority is too vile when it comes from a liberal.
"Social media are on fire with these types of screeds from these tolerant Americans who regularly lecture and project at Republican lack of civility. 
"Whatever you think of his policy positions, David Koch should not have been a particularly controversial figure.  He was a successful business leader who gave billions to charity.  He was neither hateful nor petty.
"He once said, "I really want to put my money to work making the world a better place." 
"His primary crime?  He supported Republicans, the one offense that still infuriates the Left.

"Conservative Reaction to Ruth Bader Ginsburg News
"Saturday also broke the news that Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg suffered from a malignant tumor on her pancreas.  President Donald Trump's reaction to this terrible news about someone who has been a fierce critic?  He said, "I hope she does really well.  I'm hoping she's going to be fine.  She's pulled through a lot. She's strong, very tough."
"He wasn't an outlier.  Conservatives who would love to see Ginsburg enjoy her golden years in retirement were quick to wish her well.  Not a single prominent conservative said anything half as toxic as what a host of liberals rushed to say about a man they didn't even know.
"Conservatives almost universally would like to see the very liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg step down from the Court.  She is no friend to the Constitution and is a rubber-stamp vote in favor of all liberal issues, regardless of how detestable.  But conservatives don't hate her, nor should they.
"There was not a single Julianne Malveaux reaction to Saturday's news.  Malveaux, formerly a PBS regular, once commented about Clarence Thomas, "You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease.' "  . . .
Our children come home from school mouthing all this hate. TD

Exploding cigar: Biden invites Americans who think he's too old and addled to be president to ... not vote for him

Monica Showalter  "History is well-littered with the political corpses of leaders who imagine that the invitations they throw out are certain to be turned down by the public.

"Which brings us to Joe Biden, Democratic presidential frontrunner, whose advanced age (78 now) is giving voters the willies.

"Here's Biden's invitation to the voters, according to LifeZette:

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to dismiss voters concerned about his age, telling them not to vote for him in the 2020 Democratic primary race.

 

“I say if they’re concerned, don’t vote for me,” Biden said while speaking to reporters in Keene, New Hampshire.

 

When a reporter told Biden that voters he talked to were wondering if the former senator from Delaware had lost a step, Biden answered, “What do you think?”

"We didn't get to learn the conclusion to that one.

"It happened as Biden threw out another string of gaffes, mixing up New Hampshire with Vermont, claiming the 1968 assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy happened in the 1970s (shouldn't these years be 'seared' in anyone who remembers them's memory?), and a claim that this month's mass shootings happened in Houston and Michigan instead of Dayton and El Paso.

"Things are so bad in fact, according to LifeZette that:" . . .

Hi, I’m Joe Biden. I’m the perfect apparatchik – no principles, no convictions, and no plan. I’m senile, and I have a problem with groping children. But vote for me anyway because orange man bad.

Hi, I’m Kamala Harris. My white ancestors owned slaves, but I use the melanin I got from my Indian ancestors to pretend to be black. My own father has publicly rebuked me for the pandering lies I tell. I fellated my way into politics; put me into the White house so I can suck even more!

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Warren. Even though I’m as white as library paste, I pretended to be an American Indian to get preferment. My research on medical bankruptcies was as fraudulent as the way I gamed the racial spoils system. So you should totally trust me when I say I’m “capitalist to my bones”!

Hi, I’m Amy Klobuchar, and I’ve demonstrated my grasp on the leadership skills necessarily for the leader of the Free World by being notoriously abusive towards my staff.

Hi, I’m Robert Francis O’Rourke. I’m occupying the “imitate the Kennedy” lane in this race, and my credentials for it include DUI and fleeing an accident scene.

Alyssa Milano Boasts About Her Past Abortions and the Joy They Brought Her

But first, this: Billboard Will Be Tribute to Chickens Killed in Truck Crash  “ 'PETA’s billboard will let travelers know that the best way to prevent such tragedies is to keep smart, sensitive chickens off the road in the first place by going vegan.' ”

PJ Media
"In the neverending debate about abortion we often hear from the left how abortion is such a difficult, private decision—that we’re even having a public debate on the issue is somehow degrading or anti-woman or something silly like that. However, abortion as a political wedge issue has made the once “safe, legal, and rare” mantra of the left outmoded, and now abortion has become a symbolic act of pride for liberal women to prove their left-wing feminist bona fides. In 2015, the Shout Your Abortion social media campaign was launched to give women the opportunity to share their abortion experiences online without "sadness, shame or regret" with the goal of "destigmatization, normalization, and putting an end to shame."
. . . 

“Fifteen years after that first love had fizzled, my life would be completely lacking all its great joys,” she said. “I would never had been free to be myself — and that’s what this fight is all about: freedom.”

Milano said her reasons for having abortions are “real” — as are the reasons of all other women. “They are ours — and they none of your f**king business.”

"If it’s not our business, why is she boasting about her abortions? If it’s not our business, why is she trying to prove herself by announcing she had the abortions in the first place? Her attitude about how much better her life is because she had them is bad enough, but using it to shore up her feminist credentials seems contradictory to her claim that it’s no one else’s business." . . .

The Old Man and the CNN

Stilton's Place
 "C Inane"! You gotta love it!

"CNN (which might do well to change its name to "C Inane" 
and just admit to being a satire site) just launched a devastating new attack on Donald Trump. Oh, not devastating to Trump - but rather devastating to journalism in general and on-air news annihilist Chris "Call me Fredo and I'll break your legs!" Cuomo.

"Cuomo launched a serious broadside on the air claiming that Donald Trump "doesn't care the way other (presidents) have." As proof, he showed before-and-after photos of Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama. Before the presidency, they were all young, energetic, and fresh faced. After the presidency, all three were indistinguishable from Ruth Bader Ginsburg "because of the stress they carry with them."

"But pictures of Donald Trump taken two years apart damningly showed that the President looks "exactly the same," which enraged Cuomo. "Maybe this President could use a sleepless night or two," Fredo fumed. "Maybe he should focus on fixing things, carrying that burden. Because that'sthe job and it should get hard!"

"Cuomo may have had more to say on the subject, but after so much vigorous shouting he had to be rushed back into the CNN makeup room to be re-spackled."

Mississippi prof, who went to Georgetown Prep with Brett Kavanaugh, sues HuffPost

“Defendants’ statements were false, malicious and fabricated, and were published with a knowing, intentional, subjective awareness of, and/or reckless disregard of, their falsity,” Evans’ attorney, John Sneed, said. “Plaintiff has suffered damages as a result of the Defendants’ statements, including emotional distress and harm to his reputation.“

Alyssa Milano relishes the character assassination of Judge Kavanaugh

Clarion Ledger  "A Gulfport professor and advocate is suing the national news website HuffPost alleging defamation involving a September 2018 story on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's days at Georgetown Prep school.
"Derrick Evans’ lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport against  HuffPost and its former journalist, Ashley Feinberg.
"The lawsuit said HuffPost and Feinberg repeatedly defamed Evans and friend Douglas Kennedy to a nationwide audience on multiple occasions in September 2018 by falsely asserting that they helped arrange the purchase and delivery of cocaine at Georgetown Prep that resulted in the April 1984 death of David Kennedy, Douglas’ brother and the son of the late U.S. attorney general and senator, Robert F. Kennedy.
“ 'These statements were not only false and defamatory, but outrageously so, and were published by defendants with knowledge of their actual falsity or in reckless disregard of the truth for the apparent purpose of creating a salacious story designed to drive internet traffic to HuffPost’s website,” the lawsuit said." . . .

When everyone and everything is racist, then nothing will be racist

Not that it’s any less influential for all that. On the contrary, we can count on academia, like the media, to keep propagating antiwhite sentiments, and to keep inculcating the destructive values of blind pity, needless guilt, and white self-loathing.  Christopher DeGroot

Noble Savages and the Antiwhite University  . . . "At American universities, students, taking after the professoriate, learn to eschew common sense for what Bertrand Russell called “the superior virtue of the oppressed.” Into the category of “the oppressed” goes anyone who is not a white man. The other part of the morality game consists in blaming everyone’s problems on white men. Thus, in the exceedingly violent city of Baltimore, it’s a bad thing to have armed police nearby to protect you from a man like Tyrone West. And if such a man were to harm you, it would somehow be the fault of white men." . . .


The 1619 Project: The great progressive diversion  . . . "To make this case, they push the founding of America back from 1776 — you know, the Declaration of Independence and all that other "white patriarchy" stuff — to 1619, when the first African slaves arrived on our shores. . . ."

Claims that Trump's a Racist Take a Beating as New Polling with Minorities 

Confounds Media Narrative  . . . "On nearly every news channel across the country, pundits have breathlessly insisted that the president of the United States is a bigot, a wildly unpopular figure who is one step away from being tossed out of the White House.

"Major politicians have also joined in that chorus, with 2020 hopefuls like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren openly declaring that the president is a white supremacist. Other prominent voices have implied that anyone who defends Trump is automatically a racist. But all this ranting is falling on deaf ears." . . .

“A Penn Law Professor Wants to Make America White Again,”

Reading the interview, what comes through most strongly is Chotiner’s invincible ignorance. Most of what Wax says is common sense observation with which I think most Americans would agree. But Chotiner resolutely refuses to get the point.

The Growing Savery Crisis  "We wrote here about the New York Times’s “1619 project,” which attempts to sell the idea that America was founded on slavery, and that slavery is pretty much the only important thing that has ever happened here, even 154 years after its abolition. All with a view toward helping a Democrat win the presidency in 2020, I take it."

"Other press outlets have fallen into line, praising the Times and calling for slavery to be the only aspect of American history that is discussed by anyone, ever. (Those are my words, not theirs, but I think the characterization is essentially accurate.) See, for example, this Washington Post piece, as reprinted in the Star Tribune. 
"Some are alarmed at this attack on American history. It is reprehensible, of course, but the Times is recognized as a partisan rag by everyone–including those who love it for that reason–and I doubt anything the Times might do could swing 100 votes in the next election." . . .

Bob And The Burning Research Lab

Mike Adams  "Last year, I spoke on the issue of abortion at Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, California. During the Q&A, a young woman asked a question about rape and abortion. In the process of explaining my opposition to a rape exception to an abortion ban, I said that I believe we live in a world of tradeoffs, rather than a world of problems and solutions. Upon seeing the exchange in a video posted on YouTube, Bob submitted the following question:

We live in a world of trade-offs.” Indeed we do. So answer me this. There’s a science lab that’s burning down, and inside is a 10-year-old child, and next to him is a container full of 100 fertilized human embryos. You can save either the embryos or the child, but not both. What value do you put on life? Is it quantity alone? Or is it something else? 

"This is a common pro-choice hypothetical, which Bob has taken from Ellen Goodman without attribution. As a thought experiment, it tends to intimidate pro-lifers. However, it should not be intimidating at all because it rests on the faulty assumption that our value as humans is contingent upon the intuitive emotional reactions and moral judgments of other humans. Here is the argument in a nutshell: " . . .

90th Anniversary of Arab Massacre of Jews in Hebron and Safe; If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand the conflict.

Legal Insurrection

If you don’t understand Hebron and Safed 1929, you don’t understand the conflict.

"Ninety years ago, in 1929, Arabs went on a murderous anti-Jewish rampage in the British Mandate for Palestine, ransacking ancient Jewish communities in Hebron and Safed (Tzefat). In the course of the week, a total of 130 Jews were dead." . . .

. . . "We have not previously covered the massacre in Safed:

On Friday August 23, the violence moved outside the confines of Jerusalem, to many other parts of the country as bands of Arabs attacked the Jews. In many locations, the mobs were joined by Arab policemen. Attacks on Jews in the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa were well-defended by armed Jews, while Hebron suffered the worst with the cruel slaughter of 67 Jewish men and women. In Safed, 18 Jews were killed. Altogether, across the country, there were 133 Jewish deaths and more than 300 injured….

Two days later, [David] Hacohen managed to find his way to the town where the Jewish elders of the cities fell upon him weeping bitter tears. Said Hacohen, “Inside the houses I saw the mutilated and burned bodies of the victims of the massacre, and the burned body of a woman tied to the grille of a window.”

Referring to the marauding Arabs, Hacohen continued, “They slaughtered the schoolteacher, Aphriat, together with his wife and mother, and cut the lawyer, Toledano, to pieces with their knives. Bursting into the orphanages, they smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands. I myself saw the victims.”

The total loss to Jewish life and property was 18 killed, about 40 wounded and 200 houses burned and looted.

"These events are important.

"They reflect the deep hatred of Jews two decades before Israel declared independence, directed at Jewish communities that were hundreds of years old. The conflict is not about 1948 (Israel’s independence) or 1967 (Israel’s recapture of the West Bank from Jordan), but about an Islamic Jihadist hatred of Jews described by historian Benny Morris:" . . .

. . .  

Every year the PA marks the execution of these three murderers – Muhammad Jamjoum, Fuad Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir.  "In June this year, on the 89th anniversary of their execution, PA TV marked the execution of “the three heroes” and used the opportunity to add that they have become “a legend of self-sacrifice for the homeland” and that “souls that have been sacrificed for their country will not die.” In this manner, the PA constantly reinforces its message that dying while carrying out an act of terrorism is an outcome that guarantees that the souls of the terrorists do not die."

On Visiting Civil War Battlefields

"It is grim, perhaps, to tread the steps where both armies marched, to revisit a time when our nation was at war with itself. It is grimmer still to cherish these places where Americans killed one another, to preserve them with care, to mark them with stones and placards and statues for the men we lost. But it is good for us to remember what they did, and why they did it."

National Review

"If you consulted the tourists who venture to Washington, D.C., they would probably say the monuments and memorials gracing our capital city are what most evoke thoughts of our country’s brief but remarkable history. For me, it is something a bit less expected, not the places where our political leaders shaped our early days as a nation but the dispersed locations where a different kind of leader fought to ensure that America would survive: the sites of Civil War battles.

"Many tours of Manassas, close by home, where the earliest conflicts of the war took place, where the First and Second Battles of Bull Run saw Confederate forces rout the army of the Union. To Richmond, Va., and Hollywood Cemetery, resting place not only of Jefferson Davis but also of Confederate generals George Pickett and J. E. B. Stuart. To Antietam, for a walk down Bloody Lane, ghostly site of the deadliest one-day battle in the history of the United States, with several times as many Americans killed there as in the D-Day invasion.
