BLM Co-Founder Once “Begged Allah” in a Tweet For “Strength” Not to Kill White People

Kamala Harris, comment, please. As Maxine Waters said of the Rodney King riots, "We do not condone..."

Wayne Dupree   

"If you wonder how BLM became such a violent and militant group, wonder no more…their violent and radical roots go back to the beginning of the movement.
"A Sudanese refugee and proud Marxist by the name of Yusra Khogali is one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter collective in Canada.
"Khogali is also a devout anti-white activist and racist.
"She believes white people are “subhuman” and should be “wiped out.' ”

BLM Mob Once Again Swarms St Louis Couple’s Home…Harassment’s So Bad They Boarded Up Their Home

Wayne Dupree
"This is not a protest - these people are not political - this is harassment and intimidation by the BLM Mob"
"Protesting a politician or a celebrity or some other public person who has massive influence is one thing…but to target American citizens for no other reason than harassment and intimidation is quite another.
"That’s exactly what’s happening to the St. Louis couple who were forced to defend their home with guns last week when the BLM mob broke down their privacy gate and trespassed on private property and threatened to kill them, their dog, and burn down their house.

"Again, these people are not political figures or celebrities.
"These are average American citizens and they should not be subjected to this type of torment and mob-intimidation.

"What exactly is this mob “protesting” anyway?
How can people be safe in their homes when even the press demagogues them? Defend your home and they will write things like this about you:

"Couple points guns at peaceful protesters in St Louis, US"  "A white couple came out of their house, pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters in their neighbourhood."

Why is there no national outcry? Don't expect Hollywood people to condemn all this until they see that it would be fashionable. Have any TV talk shows spoken out against this?  Have CNN or MSNBC  spoken out against the mobs? I think you will see how these media people call the rioters a "merry caravan". I still wait for signs of disgust in civilized America.  TD

Lessons we can learn if we look back to July 4, 1863

Grant enters Vicksburg

The Hill    "This year’s July 4th celebrations will be different than years past as our country continues to battle through the COVID-19 pandemic. There are some lessons we can learn if we look back to July 4, 1863, to the Vicksburg victory and Abraham Lincoln’s letters on July 13, 1863, after Grant’s victory and on July 14 to General Meade, the victorious general of the Battle of Gettysburg. These two letters have much to teach us about character and leadership which can and should be applied today. 
"On July 4th, 1863, the Union forces were victorious in the Battle of Vicksburg, a crucial turning point in the Civil War. Control of Vicksburg, Miss., meant control of the Mississippi River, which would allow for the transportation of men and supplies. 
"Additionally, Union control of Vicksburg divided the Confederacy in half. Commenting on the importance of Vicksburg for victory in the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln had said that “Vicksburg is the key. The war can never be brought to a close until that key is in our pocket.” After several unsuccessful attempts to capture Vicksburg, General Grant commenced a siege of Vicksburg on May 25, 1863, which lasted for six weeks until the Confederate forces, led by General John Pemberton, surrendered on July 4. 
"During the time that Grant was waging war on Vicksburg, the historic Battle of Gettysburg was taking place. Fought for three days, from July 1 to July 3, General George Meade, who had taken control of the Army of the Potomac just three days earlier, defeated Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s forces.

Updated: CNN slights Mount Rushmore as 'monument of two slaveowners' after extolling its 'majesty' in 2016

First this: Trump's finest speech -- and a press that beclowns itself in boiling hate

. . . "Ted Cruz easily took down this CNN pinhead:

Your network is literally arguing to tear down Mount Rushmore. And claiming that murderous, raping anarchists are a peaceful “street festival.”

And, don't forget, a "merry caravan"

CNN slights Mount Rushmore as 'monument of two slaveowners' after extolling its 'majesty' in 2016   "A CNN reporter on Friday described Mount Rushmore "a monument of two slaveowners" situated on stolen land ahead of President Trump's visit to the national monument.
"Grabien founder and editor Tom Elliot tweeted a clip of the report by correspondent Leyla Santiago in which she discussed Trump's planned remarks.
" 'President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans," she said. "I'm told that, uh, he'll be focusing on the effort to 'tear down our country's history.'"
"In 2016, however, a CNN reporter described Mount Rushmore as a "monument to four great American presidents" while narrating a story about a visit to the monument by then-presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
 "This is our country at it's very best," Sanders said at the time. "What an incredible achievement."
"The unidentified reporter's voice can be heard talking about the "majesty of the moment." . . .

Update: Elaine Krewer posted The American Catholic:

Meanwhile, Insty points out that only 12 years ago (2008) Obama visited Mount Rushmore while on the primary campaign trail and none other than Jim Acosta of CNN pondered whether Obama’s visage would ever appear on the Mountain. To which Obama replied that he wasn’t sure there was enough rock up there to accomodate his large ears. 🙂 In 2016, Bernie Sanders visited Mount Rushmore and declared it a great and wonderful example of American accomplishment. But that, of course, was so four years ago….

Call to remove statue of explorer who brutalized Native Americans ignites firestorm in Tillamook County

Call to remove statue of explorer who "brutalized Native Americans" ignites firestorm in Tillamook County

Helen Hill

. . . "Stories of Gray’s interactions with other tribes along the coast are similar. In Tillamook, in sight of where his statue now stands, he turned his cannons on the Natives who were rowing out to the ship. For many years following the incident, present-day Tillamook Bay was known as “Murderer’s Bay.' ” . . .
Called by that name not for the natives killed, but because of the murder of the young crewman trying to get his sword back. The incident is described in this account by those who were there and witnessed first hand what took place. Source pending:

Ms. Hill documents other evil deeds done by Gray but in light of the log recorded by Lady Washington's diarist that refutes the modern-day account, all other of Hill's items are in question. I have to feel history mal-education has been a major cause for the destruction of America's treasured memories around our nation today.

Bruce Catton: The Civil Warrior

HistoryNet. 2017: 
"Through his pioneering histories of the Civil War, it was said, Bruce Catton “made us hear the sounds of battle and cherish peace.' ”

. . . "Soon Catton went east to try his hand with the Boston American. But the experiment didn’t last long, as the American was a Hearst paper, and Catton quickly acquired an aversion for “this business of nagging some poor family for pictures of the victim.” He retraced his steps and joined the staff of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Catton would later credit his editors there for demanding accuracy and clarity in his writing, just as covering Cleveland’s ethnic communities gave him an insight into human nature and values.". . . 

Catton

"After leaving government service, Catton turned his attention to the conflict that had been on his mind since childhood. His first attempt at a book on the Civil War took the form of fiction—an effort ultimately abandoned as a false start. He later destroyed all his attempts at fiction, saying that he didn’t want to embarrass his descendants. 
"Newspaper work is not good training for novelists,” he told an interviewer, “but it’s very good training for historians.” The reporter and the historian, he pointed out, gathered information by similar methods: talking to eyewitnesses, reading their letters and diaries, and digging tenaciously for facts. He found those regimental histories to be good sources for the experiences of the men who did the fighting as opposed to those of the generals behind the lines.
"With his first Civil War history manuscript in hand, Catton faced the problem of getting it published. “Finding a publisher when you’re unknown is one of the most hopeless jobs in the world,” he recalled. Everywhere he was met by the same refrain: Civil War books didn’t sell. Finally, though, at the urging of George Braziller, an influential independent publisher, Doubleday agreed to take it on.
"PUBLISHED IN 1951, MR. LINCOLN’S ARMY OPENED with a description of the return of the Army of the Potomac from Major General George B. McClellan’s unsuccessful Peninsular Campaign. Early in the narrative, Catton observed:

From first to last the Army of the Potomac was unlucky. It fought for four years, and it took more killing, proportionately, than any army in American history, and its luck was always out; it did its level best and lost; when it won the victory was always clouded by a might-have-been, and when at last the triumph came at Appomattox there were so very, very many of its men who weren’t there to see it. . . .

Protesters Cry Out For Police Help While Protesting the Police   All this destruction caused by kids. Listen to the sounds of leftist speakers on nearly every other report and notice the youthful voices cheering. Much like at a Beto O'Rourke rally. TD

NYPD Taunted by Protesters: ‘Black Judas,’ ‘You Guys Go to Clown College’

“You should f—ing know better,” the man shouted at the black officer. “You should know better. Traitor! Traitor to your f—ing people! You’re like the f—king black Judas.”

Extreme language advisory. Expect this guy to be a guest on CNN and/or MSNBC.

. . . "The protester was captured on film by Townhall senior writer Julio Rosas, who was on the ground that night covering various groups of occupiers and NYC CHAZ (City Hill Autonomous Zone) demonstrators.
The clip begins with a woman in a mask cursing at officers stationed outside One Police Plaza. "I can't believe you all are getting paid to sit there like f---ing idiots," she said. "You guys go to clown college for like 26 weeks."
"Before the woman could finish her next insult, she was cut off by a man wearing very little clothing, who'd been dancing in front of the officers earlier in the evening. He berated the police and cursed at them for their lack of education.

Before shouting racial slurs at the authorities, the unidentified protester had been dancing up and down the line of NYPD police in a taunting manner.

Announcing Reader’s Choice Award: Select The Liberal Media Propagandist Of The Year For 2020

Joe Newby  "As regular readers know, we routinely highlight the bias and sometimes outright lies put forward by what we call the “Democrat-Media Complex” — what others call the “Mainstream media.”

"The fact is that “journalism” has been dead for quite some time.  Media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC. CBS and others have become nothing more than willing propagandists for the Democrat Party, doing everything they can to hurt President Trump and foment division and hatred in America.
"For that reason, this writer no longer refers to those who work at these outlets as “reporters.”  In my mind, they’re nothing but propagandists.
"So I decided to start a new tradition here at the Conservative Firing Line, and I’d like your input.  I’d like to name the one person who best exemplifies what the “media” has become.
"Here are the rules:
"Below is a poll that lists several names.  You may select up to three names or you may add a name if the person you want to win isn’t listed.
"This poll will remain open until July 15, 2020, at which time we will tally the results and pick

What happened to conservative courage?

Where are the gutless Republicans?

The question is, where on Earth are the Republicans?  Why has there been no press conference with every Republican in the House and Senate standing together to denounce all this violence?  To passionately defend our police?  They know damn well that Chauvin is an outlier, a bad cop who has kept his job because his Democrat-run city kept him despite his abusive tendencies.

Sheep in Elephant Costumes  . . . "This week, Senate Republicans continue to beclown themselves. During a June 30 appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.) fumbled his way through a heated interview about his bill to make it easier to sue police officers and his support for Black Lives Matter. Just as statues of Christopher Columbus started to fall across the country, Senators James Lankford (R-Ok.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) introduced a bill to scrap Columbus Day and instead declare a national holiday for Juneteenth." . . .

So why is it that, in 2020, a mainstream conservative Christian college student under fire by a violence-inciting campus mob can’t find a single prominent Republican in the Sunflower State to uphold and defend his free speech rights?

Mitt Romney Says ‘Black Lives Matter’ At Protest Against Police Violence  . . . "The Utah senator has previously expressed support of the protests and criticism of President Trump’s oppositional stance to them, including threatening to mobilize the military to quell violence." . . .

Where are the gutless Republicans?   . .  . The question is, where on Earth are the Republicans?  Why has there been no press conference with every Republican in the House and Senate standing together to denounce all this violence?  . . .

"Would any of these Republicans put up with their own children behaving in such a manner?  Of course not.  Every Republican knows that when you permit bad behavior, you get more of it — lots more of it.  A small child wants to find out where the limits are.  The same is likely true with these perps.  Let them act out day after day, and they will escalate, as they have in Seattle."  .  .  .

Tucker Carlson: Ordinary Americans stand up as politicians continue to cower to the rage mob  . . . "Yes, actually it is the best they've got. Tear off the masks. Turn down the volume and you see it very clearly. The mob is not fearsome, it's pathetic. 
"These are pampered children play-acting at revolution.
"They are cowards. That's why they move in packs.
"They have no skills. All they can do is destroy.
"The closer you get to them, the clearer all of that is." . . . 
. . . "On Sunday, the McCloskeys sat in their backyard together having dinner. Suddenly, as they ate, a mob of hundreds of screaming people destroyed a wrought iron gate with a no trespassing sign on it and came pouring in, moving toward them quickly.
"The McCloskeys were terrified. They watched as mobs looted and burned and assaulted citizens around the country.
"This mob was clearly intense on violence. They said so.
"When Mark McCloskey told them to leave, the mob threatened to murder him and his wife. "Then they threatened to kill the family's dog.
"Panicked, the McCloskeys called the police. Then they called the neighborhood security patrol, but no one came. They had no choice to protect themselves.

"They went inside and got their, yes, legally registered firearms.

"It worked." . . .

'Tolerant' Liberals Target Black Republican Tim Scott with Threats and Racist Voicemails  "We’ve all heard liberals claim time and time again that Republicans are racist and Democrats are the epitome of tolerance. Have you met liberals who suggested that it was self-evident that they were not racist simply because of their politics? I’ve met plenty.
"If that were true, why is it that it seems like the only people who thought it was funny or cool to wear blackface in the past forty years were liberals?
"But I digress. Despite Democrats’ self-righteous proclamations of unparalleled tolerance, they repeatedly fail to demonstrate their so-called tolerance the most, it seems, with black Republicans. Black Republicans are called traitors to their race, Uncle Toms, and worse. Senator Tim Scott, a black Republican, knows all too well about the intolerance and racism of the left." 
"CNN reports that Scott “has seen an uptick in racist and profanity-laced voicemails at his office since becoming the lead Republican on police reform legislation, including from one person who called him ‘Uncle Tim.'”...

Tim Scott Blasts ‘Liberal Democrats’ For Sending Him Racist Messages: ‘Audacious, Repugnant Behavior’  "Senator Tim Scott scolded “liberal Democrats” for sending him offensive voicemail messages due to his push fo police reform, according to Fox News.
“ 'We had dozens — more than a dozen of them,” Scott told host Martha MacCallum. “I only played two of them, which were the most racially offensive comments from liberals in this country. They called to say that I was in their crosshairs.
“I 't was so profanity-laced, you can’t play five seconds of those videos on your show because there are that many f-bombs, the n-word — by liberal Democrats — causing a stir in my office, threatening my life. It is the most audacious, repugnant behavior I’ve seen in a very long time.” . . .

To Win the Cold Civil War, Seek Peace through Strength

"This is not about race. The people who have taken over that section of Seattle claim to represent BLM but are mostly white social justice warriors embracing the violence. This is about civil society. Do we keep it or let it devolve into madness? Do read Jeremy Carl's column on capitulation and cowardice (Below)."  Patricia McCarthy


The Claremont Institute

"Capitulation and cowardice hand America to identitarian propagandists."

Added by TD

"There comes a time when silence is betrayal,” said Martin Luther King, Jr. in a famous speech breaking with Lyndon Johnson on the Vietnam war. For conservatives today, we have also reached a point where silence is betrayal—in this case a silence about the liberal war on American nationhood in the service of identity politics.

"We see the inevitable result of that silence in the riots on America’s streets, sponsored by the Antifa movement that has openly declared war on America and its institutions, and the Black Lives Matter movement that has perpetuated one hate hoax and fictitious narrative after another, whipping up many in their community into a frenzy of racial resentment.
. . . 
"The good news is that the Cold Civil War (in the memorable phrase of Angelo Codevilla) can be won using the same tactic that Ronald Reagan used to win the Cold War: peace through strength. And it is imperative that we win this war before it goes from cold to hot, as it seems to be doing on America’s streets this week. Winning this war doesn’t entail beta-whining about social justice warriors. We need to make it clear to the Left that their continued use of identity politics will have consequences severe enough to deter their misbehavior. And to do that, we must change our entire mindset." . . .
