Video: A black conservative pays tribute to Rush Limbaugh

Lloyd Marcus  "Rush Limbaugh announced that he has advanced cancer. The American left and their fake news media minions went ballistic over Trump rightfully awarding the conservative talk radio icon the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"Leftist hater Whoopi Goldberg said she thought the award is given to “people who have actually done something.” Other deranged leftists said Trump was out-of-order presenting the award to a mere radio host. These same progressives celebrated Obama presenting the award to mere actors, Robert Redford, Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks.
"As expected, Democrats and fake news media chimed in with their standard baseless accusation that all conservatives and Republicans are racist. They absurdly claim Rush is a racist which makes Trump a racist for honoring him. My response is blah, blah, blah.

"Please watch this 2 minute video in which I defend and express my respect and gratitude to Rush Limbaugh, a truly great American.  Please share it." . . .

Rush Limbaugh's True Contribution  . . . "We realized that our beliefs were shared by many and that we had power.  Rush was the Voice of America broadcasting through the Iron Curtain.  Like the prisoners of the Iron Curtain, we needed these broadcasts for more than mere information.  We needed to know that our fellow prisoners knew the truth also.  The liberating and unifying effect of these broadcasts sometimes translated into election results that we never dreamed possible.  The unity that Rush provided helped stop some of the worst Clinton programs and gave us the momentum that resulted in the historic congressional elections of 1994 that liberated Congress for the first time in four decades.  There is nothing so dangerous to a totalitarian as a unified people that know they are not alone." . . .   Visit Rush's site

How's Uncle Joe doing lately?

Spin Room Indeed: Biden Surrogate Symone Sanders Does Damage Control After Biden Says He Won't Win New Hampshire "Manchester, NH - As expected, former Vice President Joe Biden provided a few gaffes at Friday's Democratic presidential debate at St. Anselm College. The worse the gaffes are, the worse his team had to try and spin it in the post-debate spin room. But Symone Sanders tried.
"At one point during Friday's contest, Biden admitted that he didn't do well in Iowa, and added that he's probably not going to do well here in New Hampshire either. It was a cringey answer, and one that the press had a field day with in the spin room as Sanders, the Biden campaign's senior adviser, tried to assure us that Biden was still going to compete." . . .

People should drop Biden's “lying, dog-faced pony soldier” remark; he was talking in jest the way we talked on our job site all my life.  . . . "On Sunday, Biden uttered a phrase so bizarre that the internet has been buzzing about it for hours: When a young woman asked him a tough question, he responded by calling her a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” There is some debate about whether he was jocular or angry (we side with jocular), but the words are clear: . . ."
Its what the left has been doing with Trump's "Hey Russia! can you find us Hillary's emails?"
"Dog-Face Soldier" was the official song of many WW2 Army units.

Here's a bombshell!

Babylon Bee reports: "Biden Lands Coveted Corn Pops Endorsement Deal"

"

"In what's being called a game-changer for the 2020 Democratic primary, Joe Biden has landed the coveted endorsement of Corn Pops cereal." . . .

After Biden claimed he stood up to a gang leader named CornPop armed with a razor, Kellogg's quickly signed Biden to a multi-million-dollar contract. Biden will appear on cereal boxes and in TV spots. The Corn Pops logo will appear prominently in future Biden campaign stops and on the side of his bus. He'll also wear a CornPops blazer while giving speeches.

"Gotta have my pops!" Biden says in a new commercial before launching into a long-winded recollection of the incident. He goes on and on about CornPop and how he brought peace to the gang-ridden land of Delaware back in the 1890s with the help of President Ben Franklin and Canada. "Eating Corn Pops is all part of a balanced breakfast for a man who brings peace and harmony to the land like me."

"Before I set out on the rough campaign trail each and every morning, I make sure to have a bowl of Corn Pops to keep my mind sharp," Biden says before smiling and taking a bite of the Pops. "Oopsy-daisy!" he says sheepishly as his teeth fall into the cereal bowl" . . .

A new video reveals Elizabeth Warren’s perfectly pre-programmed shtick

Andrea Widburg  "No matter the question asked of her, Elizabeth Warren instantly swings into a pre-programmed wrap. “Look,” she’ll say. “I’ve got a plan for that.” And then she’ll start reciting the vague parameters of a plan that invariably involves spending massive, but unspecified, amounts of taxpayer money and significantly increasing the government’s role in every American’s life and livelihood.

"There’s now a video showing how perfectly rehearsed Warren’s statements are. Sure, the words sometimes change a little, but those changes are relatively insignificant. The substance, the rhythm, the timing . . . they’re all there in perfect order. Irritating as it is to listen to Warren blabber on, especially in stereo, this video is a neat trick and well-worth watching to understand how canned Warren is:  Watch it here

Pro-Trump Iraqi Refugee Launches GOP Congressional Bid Against Ilhan Omar: ‘She Must Be Stopped’

CauseACTION  "Dalia al-Aqidi, a refugee who escaped from Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical Iraqi regime in 1988, announced on Thursday that she has launched a Republican congressional bid for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District against far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who has faced scandal after scandal in just her first year in Congress.

"Al-Aqidi, a former White House correspondent, told The Daily Wire in an exclusive interview that she decided to run because Omar was “doing irreparable harm to both Minnesota and the U.S.—she must be stopped.”
"In the interview, Al-Aqidi praised President Donald Trump for his foreign policy agenda in the region, including the recent decision to kill Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani.
"Al-Aqidi made the announcement in a video that she posted to Twitter where she highlighted her background and how living under a tyrannical big government shaped her political views."  Watch: 

It’s time to defend America! I’m running for Congress because we’re not as divided as Ilhan Omar and the far-left would have us believe. I’m running to bring us closer together. https://t.co/sa9dsHHTeO— Dalia al-Aqidi (@Dalia4Congress) January 16, 2020

 Iraqi Refugee Challenging Omar: Omar Doing ‘Irreparable Harm’ To U.S. With ‘Hatred, Racism’       

. . . “ 'I’m running because Ilhan Omar is doing irreparable harm not only to her district, not only to her state, to the whole country,” al-Aqidi said. “As an American citizen, my duty is to defend my country and my duty is to stand up to her hatred and racism that she’s spreading within her community, within the country, and even worldwide. I have a question for Ilhan Omar that needs to be answered. Ilhan Omar is harming every American with her hatred, her standing against what we believe in, against our own Constitution.' ” . . .

American Schools are Focusing on Diversity at History’s Expense

Intellectual Takeout

Today only 12 percent of the nation’s high school seniors are proficient in history. With numbers like that, perhaps we should be less concerned about diversity and more concerned about ensuring our students have a well-rounded knowledge of the men and women who made our country great.

"The 1619 Project. By now many of us have either viewed ads about, seen references to, or read directly from this initiative of The New York Times, which marks four centuries since slaves first came to America.

"It sounds like an admirable initiative, no? After all, it’s good to remember our history, especially the bad parts, so we can ensure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

"But as many have pointed out, that isn’t The New York Times’ objective. Writing in the February issue of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, scholar Brion McClanahan sets about “Deconstructing the 1619 Project.” McClanahan uses the words of project director Jake Silverstein to describe the goal of the Times’ project:

"According to Silverstein, ‘The project was intended to address the marginalization of African-American history in the telling of our national story and examine the legacy of slavery in contemporary American life.’

"In McClanahan’s eyes, such a statement is misleading:

"This would imply that American pop culture has been devoid of material dedicated to race and slavery. Indeed, it assumes that Americans are not at all acquainted with the issue and that there has been a veritable conspiracy to keep black American history off the pages of American history textbooks and out of the popular imagination." 

"Is such a charge true? Has black history been marginalized in our nation’s schools? Drawing from an academic survey of high school students and adults, McClanahan calls such an assumption into question:" . . .

Steve Bannon and Bill Maher Go Head-to-Head

Youtube
"Former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon joins Bill to discuss President Trump's "best week so far.' ".

But Maher has the applause sign going for him.

Even the left wing Daily Beast commented:  Steve Bannon Outduels and Embarrasses Bill Maher on ‘Real Time’ . . . "I know how much of a charismatic charmer he can be, which, in addition to his serving as a valued source for so many White House reporters, is a big reason why he’s been subject to so many fawning profiles. Such cajoling can easily work on Maher, who not only loves having his colossal ego massaged but has found common ground with everyone from alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos to, well, Steve Bannon, who talked circles around the late-night comedian during his last Real Time appearance. " . . .
The Last Refuge  "Bill Maher had a very bad week… Because Bill Maher is watching all of the best laid schemes by his Democrat plotters fail.  Against the failed impeachment effort; which followed the failed Mueller effort; which followed the failed FBI effort; Bill Maher invites Steve Bannon back onto his HBO show to debate the state of anti-Trump politics.

"Bannon draws attention to several hypocrisies including the DNC use of Michael Bloomberg to fund and advance their anti-Trump effort.  The Democrats are a hot mess and a hostile takeover by Bernie Sanders looms on the horizon.

Mitt Romney's self-righteousness and moral blindness are not heroic

James Arlandson  . . . Were it not for Mitt Romney, the American Republic would collapse!  He's the only one who stood his ground on Article One.  He's the only one who listened to his faith standards and opposed his own caucus.  He heard the defense counsel demolish the two articles, yet he's the only one who maintained his sense of correct thinking.  Only he had clarity of insight and profile in courage to vote his religious convictions.  And now he is the hero of the clear-thinking left.

"Nonsense.

"Everyone but Mitt could see that this partisan impeachment sham was orchestrated by the radical left just to get the president. The president of Ukraine and others in his administration said they did not feel any pressure from Trump.  And they got the money from the U.S. government after the Ukrainian president promised to root out corruption.  During the July 25, 2019 phone call, the American president asked the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden's son for corruption." . . .

The Democrats: A Corrupt, Insane Posse Masquerading as a Political Party

American Thinker

Clarice Feldman  "Eleven years ago, the writer Michael Walsh wrote (under his penname David Kahane) “Think of the Democratic Party as it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.”

"After the Democrats’ Russia, Kavanaugh, Mueller, and Ukraine fiascos, the Iowa caucus debacle, and Friday’s bizarre Democratic debate, I think we need to update it: It’s a Criminal, Insane Posse masquerading as a political party.

"The week began with an outstanding, uplifting, and inspiring State of the Union address by the President before a joint Congress. Among the House delegates were a gaggle of Democratic congresswomen dressed in white who insist they are strong, independent, capable, and worthy to lead. They stood, clapped, or sat in unison at signals from Speaker Pelosi who sat behind the President, mouthing words to some imaginary friend and moving her mouth reminiscent of someone on psychotropic drugs. (Message: I am woman -- hear me meow chasing the laser red dot.) At the conclusion of the speech she stood and ripped up her copy of the SOTU address in small packets either because she lacked strength to rip it all in one batch or for dramatic effect. To say the Democrats’ behavior was disconsonant with any message of sober adult solons is to understate it." . . .

The Communist Pedigree of the Clenched-fist Salute

New American  "Riots, protests, demonstrations, rallies; pick the issue — police brutality, racism, Occupy Wall Street, oil and gas fracking, minimum-wage legislation, education funding, etc. — it’s a sure bet a certain symbol will be ever-present.

"When Baltimore erupted in flames, riots, and looting, the “protesters” — from unknown teens to infamous agitators — prominently displayed the clenched-fist salute. The same clenched fist appeared on rally posters and banners, along with “#BlackLivesMatter” and “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” Malik Zulu Shabazz, the hate-spewing former head of the New Black Panther Party (and current national president of Black Lawyers for Justice) conspicuously employed the clenched fist salute while leading chants and rallies in Baltimore. (See picture below.) It was a repeat of the violence-promoting rallies that exploited the “racial justice” theme and fomented racial turmoil nationwide following the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida and the Michael Brown police shooting in Missouri.

"In Ferguson, Missouri, black rioters and looters went on a rampage, spurred on by the media, which falsely portrayed Michael Brown as “the gentle giant,” another unarmed young black man shot down in cold blood by a white police officer, according to the media storyline. Protesters took to the streets with their clenched fists raised, led by the professional organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement, the New Black Panther Party, the Communist Party USA, and the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).

"Black protesters with their clenched fists raised in the air were photographed and displayed on the cover of Revolution, the official newspaper of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Elaborating about the many “great things that are happening” in the Communist Party USA, party chairman John Bachtell told Gawker.com in an interview, posted on August 15, 2015, “Black Lives Matter has played an important role.” This is not surprising, since, as The New American has reported, the co-creators of the #BlackLivesMatter slogan that suddenly appeared on posters, T-shirts, Tweets, and protest banners are Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi, three radical lesbian Marxists who identify themselves as “queer Black women” and who idolize former Communist Party leader Angela Davis and communist terrorist/cop-killer Assata Shakur." . . .

Remarks on Friday's debate

The Seven Dwarfs on the debate stage  "The grueling debate Friday night on ABC was actually sad for the seven debaters, with the exception of Andrew Yang, for they all are panderers of the first order. They all say only what they think their potential supporters want to hear. There are few core beliefs among them. 

"They all seem either ignorant or in serious denial of the countless successes of the Trump administration because they all simply deny them. They are each depending, as usual, on the conviction that all Americans are very stupid and unable to discern between the truth and their lies meant to terrorize unwitting citizens about health care, global warming, and President Trump.

"There was not an honest broker on that stage except Yang, and he has no chance of being the nominee because is a relatively normal human being. The debate brought to mind Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Among the dwarfs, Yang would be Happy." . . .

James Carville Rips ELITIST MEDIA, Says Dems are 'Losing Our Damn Minds'
James Carville, a former top adviser to President Clinton, laid out a scathing critique of his party, arguing that it drifted way too far to the left and was on the way to failure as a result of pushing extreme policy ideas.

"Drag a dollah biyill thru a traylah pahk
 and  see what you come up with"

"' We just had an election in 2018. We did great. We talked about everything we needed to talk about and we won," he said in a Vox interview published on Friday.
 "And now it’s like we’re losing our damn minds. Someone’s got to step their game up here."
"Carville added that he considered himself a "liberal" rather than a centrist -- but Democrats went too far even for him.

"They’ve tacked off the damn radar screen," he said when asked if the party moved too far left.
"His comments came just after another interview in which he said he was "scared to death" after Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., netted a large portion of the vote in Iowa's caucuses." . . .

Drunkblogging the New Hampshire Democratic Debate Stephen Green posted:

It was a debate about nothing.

Not exactly nothing. Each candidate thinks that they're The One to beat Trump, and said so forcefully. Or in the case of Biden and Sanders, loudly.

But in terms of undoing all the gains made over the last three years, the seven candidates stand as one.

So they have that going for them, which isn't nice for us.

But as a debate over ideas, it wasn't a debate at all. Exact same ideas, varying only (and barely) in who would do the mostest fundamental transformation the fastest.

I don't think that's an easy sell in an economy with record-high confidence levels

 Leslie Marshall: Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar shine in latest Democratic
 debate  . . . "Vice President Joe Biden: He can’t seem to own the Obama years without owning Washington’s last 30 years. At some point, it’s impossible to win when you haven’t gained a supporter in a year. Arrow: Down
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg: He won, in part, because Biden couldn’t land a punch. That means the small-city mayor who shocked the Iowa caucuses got to build on his moment and continue to portray himself as the future in a more experienced field. Arrow: Up
Senator Amy Klobuchar: She has Biden’s folksy touch, Warren’s substance and Pete’s sense of decency. She did well and probably has the highest ceiling of any candidate, but can’t quite seem to put it all together on the same night. Arrow: Up
Sen. Bernie Sanders: A good debater, he pivots, sees traps and sounds forceful without fake toughness. He doesn’t convert anyone, but he doesn’t need to in this fractured field. Trump wants to debate socialism, but he doesn’t want to debate Bernie."  . . .

For all you Thunbergians out there; UPDATED

Global Warming's 50 Years of Fraud  "The theory for those pushing the green new deal or some other radical energy policy that will destroy tens of millions of jobs and greatly harm the poor and middle class is that humans, CO2, and fossil fuels cause warming and climate change. This warming causes the ice to melt in Alaska, then the melting ice causes sea levels to rise and the rising sea levels will cause coastal cities to under water.

"They have predicted the coastal cities to disappear for the last 100 years and they have been wrong for 100 years.

"Meanwhile, Alaska has been exceptionally cold for the last few months. As a nerd who knows that the people pushing the garbage theory of humans causing climate change is based on a series of lies, I look at actual data." 

"January 2020 was the 15th coldest January on record in Fairbanks Alaska. At negative 27 degrees. it was over 13 degrees below average this year. Obviously, the ice will be thickening faster than average and is not going to be gone as predicted.

"Here is a small sample of predictions and fear articles over the years.

1922-Article by AP in Washington Post and elsewhere saying icecaps were melting, oceans were dying, and coastal cities would disappear.

1970-First Earth Day. We were scared with articles that billions would die soon from catastrophic cooling.

1975-Newsweek-Doom and gloom article called “The Cooling World”

1989-Back to warming. The UN essentially repeated the warnings from 1922 article and said we only had ten years to solve the problem.

2008-ABC ran fear story saying much of Miami and New York City would be under water by 2015.

2019- The UN again repeated the same warnings from 1922 and 1989 and again we have only ten years left.

"How did the Earth cool so much from 1945 to 1976 that we got warnings of catastrophic cooling if rising CO2, humans and fossil fuels cause warming? The answer is there is no correlation between CO2, population, fossil fuel use and temperature." . . .

Yet journalists and other Democrats didn’t give a damn about the fraud as they continue to hide the truth from the public because they also like the money train.
Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation . . . 

Niall Ferguson: Davos Man is cooling on Stockholm Girl Greta Thunberg

Delegates publicly praise the gloomy activist, but privately prefer dirty Don

. . . "In this green new world, Davos Man must now prostrate himself before Stockholm Girl: 17-year-old Greta Thunberg, who delivered her latest tirade on Tuesday morning. “We don’t need a ‘low-carbon economy,’ ” she declared. “We don’t need to ‘lower emissions’. Our emissions have to stop. Any plan or policy of yours that doesn’t include radical emission cuts at the source, starting today, is completely insufficient.” She demanded that all participants “immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction”. "

. . . "As Trump said, in an uncharacteristically restrained speech, American consumer confidence is buoyant, the unemployment rate is the lowest in nearly half a century, taxes on business are down, as is regulation, and the stock market is at record highs. Since his election, the US economy has added nearly seven million jobs. Housebuilding has just hit a 13-year high. Most strikingly, earnings growth has been especially strong for less skilled, lower-paid and African-American workers." . . .

CNN's Cascading Credibility Crisis

Tony Branco

Daryl Austin  "CNN is currently suffering a credibility crisis unlike anything they've experienced before. Last year, Business Insider reported that only 53% of American adults believe CNN is "credible," and among Republicans in particular, CNN's credibility has fallen "by nearly 20 percentage points since 2016."

"One of CNN’s most famous "Facts First" ad campaigns shows a shiny red apple against a white backdrop as a voiceover posits the following:

“This is an apple. Some people might try to tell you that it’s a banana. They might scream banana banana banana over and over and over again. They might put BANANA in all caps. They might even start to believe that this is a banana, but it’s not. This is an apple.”

"Claiming to value the facts first used to work for the once-proud network, but no longer.

There are, of course, scores of contributing factors and explanations that various people may have for mistrusting CNN. But my primary reason for no longer trusting the network comes down to the way network executives react whenever their journalists are caught behaving badly.

"CNN host Don Lemon and two panelists openly mocking purportedly stupid Trump supporters last week provides one such example. Putting aside the blatant lack of journalistic objectivity and unprofessionalism displayed throughout the segment, the question of credibility still arises in its aftermath.

"Instead of apologizing or taking responsibility for his actions, Lemon tried to misrepresent what actually transpired. He said, "Just to make this perfectly clear, I was laughing at the joke, and not at any group of people." Unfortunately for him, the facts disagree. While the clip shows that Lemon certainly begins laughing in reaction to a joke told by one of his guests at President Trump's expense, his laughter only increases as his panelists continue to mock "an administration defined by the ignorance of the world," using farcical Southern accents and calling Trump supporters "credulous boomer rubes."

"After the clip went viral, Lemon defended himself by saying "I don't believe in belittling people," but once again, the facts say otherwise. The truth is that Lemon frequently uses his nightly program to belittle President Trump and his supporters." . . .   Full article here
