One retired Marine isn’t putting up with Mattis’s nonsense

Regrettable, but I still admire the General as a Marine I'd have been honored to serve under.  TD

Andrea Widburg   "Ret. Marine General James Mattis, who served as Trump’s Defense Secretary, resigned over a year ago, but has apparently been nursing a grudge since then. Last week, he took to the pages of the left-wing Atlantic magazine to air that grievance.

"Mattis revealed a small mind. His facts were wrong, and his arguments foolish and simplistic. The Democrat media, of course, celebrated the article despite its fundamental flaws. Retired Marine Captain John M. Dowd, however, decided that he wasn’t going to sit there and take that nonsense, so he struck back. What he wrote is red meat for conservatives and Trump supporters.

"To understand what Mattis wrote for the Atlantic, you have to know that, while he does love the Marines, he’s a leftist at heart. He supports the global warming agenda; is hostile to Israel; shied away from fights with the Mullahs; wanted so-called transgenders in the military; wouldn’t leave Afghanistan; and ultimately quit because he wanted to keep U.S. troops in Syria (reminder: the disaster leftists predicted for Trump’s pullout never materialized).

"If you need more evidence that Mattis is a leftist politician, he hung out with limousine leftists:. . . "

Please, Mr. President , listen to General Mattis...

"...you are all that is standing between us and people like Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Pelosi, and all those scowling Democrats at the State of the Union and on the House Judiciary Committee.  Once again the White House will be host to the likes of Al Sharpton, friend of white-hating Louis Farrakhan; America-hating socialists like Bill Ayers, foul-mouthed, purple-haired soccer players, and any number of sleazy politicians. Perhaps once again "congenital liar" Hillary Clinton may - once again - enrich herself as a U.S. government official on the international scene. Ukraine may once more grovel before the demands of the Bidens.

Why Christians shouldn’t jump on bandwagon of progressive groups like Black Lives Matter

Lifesite News

This movement is not about giving justice to George Floyd, but about remaking society and creating a progressive utopia out of the ashes of the society that we now inhabit. 

"June 5, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – For the past week and a half, social media has melted down into a dumpster fire of virtue-signalling, accusations, anger, and finger-pointing. If you didn’t black out your profile photo for #BlackOutTuesday, you were probably insufficiently committed to combatting racism. If you didn’t immediately embrace Black Lives Matter, it was your knee on George Floyd’s neck, too. If you refused to climb aboard the raucous bandwagon without first asking who was driving it, Christians of a certain type relished telling others that they were irredeemable racists. One gets the sense that running into a view that differed from their own made these Christians feel a bit persecuted, and relished their brief participation in the ranks of the oppressed.

"What has been incredibly frustrating is that the narrative of a “divided America” is not really accurate in this specific instance. I’d wager that around 90% of Americans agree on two things: George Floyd was brutally murdered, and the perpetrator should be brought to justice; and looting and burning down cities is wrong. Responding to a murder by creating more suffering is obviously not the answer, and people of good faith agree on that. We can all agree on these two basic facts, which means that in reality, we should have much common ground to work from." . . .

Bail Reform Isn’t Working

Vandals run free in Democrat-led cities and we must decide, do we want our entire nation to be afflicted with that kind of government?

American Free Press

"Criminals in California are now essentially operating with impunity as many local jurisdictions and the state’s Judicial Council have moved to enact a zero-bail policy for most misdemeanor and lower-level felony crimes with the threat of the Covid-19 virus being used as the reason.

"Criminal justice reform activists and organizations have been demanding such policies for decades, and the Covid-19 pandemic has finally provided the state’s legal, judicial, and law enforcement authorities justification under the guise of public health.

"Since the policy change, countless dangerous criminals have been cited and released with little or no punishment for their crimes. Late last month, officers in Glendora, Calif., just outside Los Angeles, arrested a man three times in one day, yet were forced to release the criminal rather than take him to jail as a result of the new policy.

"Dijon Landrum, a 24-year-old from the area, was arrested at roughly 8:30 am on Wednesday, April 29 while driving a stolen vehicle. Officers also found other stolen property and narcotics on Landrum and simply issued the man a citation and released him." . . .

Mr. President, It’s Time to Investigate George Soros for Funding Domestic Terrorism

With his billions no way can he be touched.

George Soros, 89, is still on a quest to destroy America

How else can we listen to his words in Davos, Switzerland, track his funding of American political races and pay attention to what he says about President Donald Trump, capitalism, and the leftist causes he backs and the leftist Open Society Foundations he runs, and come to any other conclusion?

Mr. President, It’s Time to Investigate George Soros for Funding Domestic Terrorism

. . . "I’m sure there are many other millionaire and billionaire socialists and globalists involved. It’s time to make them sweat. It’s time to make them run for their lives. If found guilty, it’s time to freeze their assets and hunt them down.
"My fellow Americans, we are at war. We must face it head on. The evil globalist and socialist elites are out to bring down and destroy America.
"Their political arm is the Democrat Party.
"Their propaganda arm is mainstream media and social media.
"Their funding arm is Hollywood and Silicon Valley billionaire elites.
"Their brainwashing arm is made up of millions of Marxist public school teachers and college professors. . . .

Yes, George Soros Sent Money to Fund the Riots—and So Did Taxpayers

. . . "George Soros’ Open Society Foundation features prominently among the organizers and major donors of this program. Also listed is the Tides Foundation, which created the national organization and funding mechanism around the Indivisible movement, which billed itself as the tea party of the left. They want to organize the resistance to Donald Trump using tea party tactics.

"These days, it seems like if you scratch a violent radical protest group, you unearth the involvement of George Soros, merely one among a vast network of billionaire donors hell-bent on destroying America. Someone ought to write a book about that.

CNN skips Trump's live remarks on surprisingly good labor market report

From the Babylon Bee:  CNN's Ratings Collapse As Coronavirus Fears Empty American Airports

. . . While CNN is usually able to claim millions of captive viewers every day, their audience dropped to almost nothing overnight. With airports completely devoid of weary travelers with dead smartphones and nothing to look at but CNN, the core of the channel's audience has disappeared overnight."Screens at airports across the country continued to play CNN to empty airports, creating a spooky, dystopian atmosphere as hosts ranted to no one in particular.On-air personalities were quick to blame the ratings dive on President Donald Trump, suggesting that he had a hand in creating the virus specifically so that CNN would implode.""This is clearly a Trump and Fox News plot to destroy us," said Brian Stelter. "The anti-science, racist Trump administration wants you to believe this started in China, but it was clearly created in a U.S. government lab to stop the extremely popular CNN!"'Overcome with rage, Stelter then transformed into his alternate personality, a raging, hulking, green monster who breaks things and rants against Trump and Fox News all the time, which is indistinguishable from his other ego except he's green and looks a little less like George Costanza."

Fox News  "CNN continued to avoid coverage that doesn’t fit the network’s narrative on Friday when it didn’t air President Trump’s Rose Garden comments on the heels of a surprise labor report that may indicate the start of an economic recovery amid historic job losses.
" 'We're bringing our jobs back," Trump said at the upbeat press conference covered by other outlets, including Fox News. "We're gonna be back there. I think we're actually going to be back there higher next year than ever before."
"Shortly after skipping Trump’s remarks, the network interrupted programming to carry a press conference with Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the older brother of CNN host Chris Cuomo." . . .

CNN didn’t cover Trump’s remarks live, instead airing “CNN Newsroom” with Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto. Former CNN pundit Steve Cortes tweeted, “It’s almost as if CNN is rooting AGAINST our economic recovery.”

Hillary’s Press Secretary Joins the Revolution: ‘Defund the Police

Defund the police

"Bold move.
"Personally, I can think of more than three — more than four, even — reasons that might be a bad idea.
"And I’ll offer this: Closing up shop on law enforcement would result in anarchy.
"But anarchy, in every case, is merely a bridge — always, from chaos will come order.
"And after a grand reshuffling of the deck, the strong will rise to rule the weak.

Project Veritas Infiltration Of Antifa Video: ‘Our Revolution Cannot Be Stopped’

Prairie Pundit comments on Antifa's plot to destroy America:

Antifa is a subversive terrorist organization and it should be destroyed before it can attack more people and their properties.  If they are tied to the Democrat Party, that should be exposed and those Democrats should also be tried for their illegal insurrection.  The DOJ has evidence that Antifa instigated the insurrection and riots.

ANTIFA: “Practice things like an eye gouge, it takes very little pressure to injure someone’s eyes.” . . . "Nicholas Cifuni, Rose City Antifa: “Consider Like, Destroying Your Enemy.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the violence had moved into the suburbs, as well.

BLACKOUT! MSNBC and CNN Refuse To Cover The Murder of a Black Police Captain By Marxist Rioters

Rich Welsh   

“The man just was shot and killed outside of Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry,” former St. Louis Police Officer Marquaello Futrell wrote in a Facebook post. “It’s one thing to be a victim of a robbery/assault but to lie in [your] own blood pleading for help and no help comes other than people standing around on FB Live recording his death. All over social media. I’m upset and can’t sleep!”

"Should you still need proof that mainstream media, notably the two top leftist cable news channels, are driving a story, but not the story, built on an anti-American agenda, you only need to take a look at the tragic case of Police Captain David Dorn. The murder of the 77-year-old former St. Louis Metro Police captain by the hands of looters in front of a pawn shop has drawn zero coverage from CNN and MSNBC almost 24-hours after his death was live-streamed on a number of Facebook Live pages.
"Fox News aired it. USA Today covered it. Most conservative news outlets have covered it heavily. It’s a massive story. In a time where Black Lives Matter are dominating airwaves, it’s incredible that to leftist mainstream media, usually deemed Fake News these days, the life of a black man whose death didn’t fit their anti-American narrative wasn’t worth covering during their 24/7 coverage of these “peaceful protests” turned vicious riots.
"Patriots all over are making sure Dorn’s murder is not going to be completely drowned out during the current news cycle.  The #DavidDorn hashtag has been trending on Twitter as those who oppose the ANTIFA-led riots are angry by this horrendous act of greed and criminality.  In the meantime, One America News reporter Jack Posobiec started a Fundly that raised over $50,000 for Dorn’s family in less than an hour. As of the time of this story, it’s over $150,000." . . .

Floyd Protesters Met With Armed Bystanders During Indiana March

Time  "Protesters in a rural Indiana city who took to the streets to condemn racism and police killings of black people encountered bystanders who were holding rifles during the demonstration.
"A video that circulated on social media shows 21 people standing along a bike trail near downtown Crown Point, Indiana, watching protesters march past them Monday during a peaceful protest against police brutality and racism. Eight of the bystanders held firearms, an act Crown Point Police Chief Pete Land said is protected under state law.
“ 'There were individuals — not related to a police department, just private citizens— that had their personally owned rifles displayed,” Land said Tuesday during a virtual city forum. “They have a right to do that.”
"It is legal in Indiana to carry a rifle or a shotgun, but a permit is required to carry a sidearm in public, Land explained." . . . Video at the link.

Project Veritas begins its Antifa exposé

As is the case with all Project Veritas investigations, more videos will follow. The more Americans who see them the better, because it will help them understand who is taking over their cities and why President Trump was right to label Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.

Andrea Widburg  "Project Veritas ought to be called Project Fortitudo so as to recognize the mind-boggling bravery of an undercover operative who infiltrated the Rose City Antifa organization in Portland, Oregon, one of the oldest active Antifa groups in America. The anarcho-leftist Antifa specializes in violent street fighting, putting at extreme risk anyone who goes into the group with a hidden camera.

"That’s the risk a Project Veritas investigator took, beginning sometime in the past, but at least eleven months ago. (To protect the investigator’s identity, the year in which he began his undercover operation is bleeped out.)

"Although Antifa has leaped to prominence in the past few days, as it’s joined forces with Black Lives Matter to wreak havoc in American cities, conservatives have been aware of it for some time. For most of us, Antifa became a concern beginning with the Berkeley rioting when the Berkeley Republicans invited conservative speakers, such as Milo Yiannopoulos or Ben Shapiro, to the UC campus. Even the Washington Post noticed that Antifa had a problem.

"Antifa members showed up and engaged in extreme violence, including setting fire to the campus. As a hint that Antifa is the paramilitary arm of the Berkeley Democrat party, the mayor told the police to stand down as Antifa and other leftist organizations beat conservatives with poles, pepper spray, and fists. Rose City Antifa gets the same sweet treatment from Portland's mayor.

"No wonder, then, that some of the most extreme Antifa violence in America has taken place in Portland. Andy Ngo, who has taken it upon himself to document what Antifa is doing, was so badly assaulted at a Portland riot that he suffered a brain bleed, something that can lead to death or permanent mental disability:

"During the current riots, this is what Antifa is doing in Portland (warning: graphic):

"Portland: A man tried to help the man carrying a US flag who was getting beaten on the ground at yesterday’s antifa/BLM riot. They chased him away and kicked him in the face when he was unconscious on the ground: #Antifa #BlackLivesMatter." Graphic video
