Tammy Duckworth hits back at Tucker Carlson: 'Walk a mile in my legs'

MSN  "Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) on Monday night hit back at Fox News host Tucker Carlson after he criticized her for supporting a "national dialogue" on removing memorials to George Washington." . . .
. . . Duckworth, a combat veteran, lost her legs in 2004 after insurgents shot down a Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting.

Carlson called out Duckworth Monday while giving a monologue on his Fox News show "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
"He was hitting Duckworth for comments she made in an interview on CNN over the weekend in which she said the U.S. should have a "national dialogue" on removing monuments honoring Washington, who owned slaves. She has previously said she supports changing the names of military bases named after Confederate leaders.
""You're not supposed to criticize Tammy Duckworth in any way because she once served in the military," Carlson said. "Most people just ignore her. But when Duckworth does speak in public, you're reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is."
" 'It's long been considered out of bounds to question a person's patriotism. It's a very strong charge, and we try not ever to make it. But in the face of all of this, the conclusion can't be avoided. These people actually hate America. There's no longer a question about that," Carlson claimed." . . .

New head of news at NBC-Universal openly promises to discriminate against Caucasians
Those of us who seek refuge in old shows better record them before they are banned as well

"After just over a month in his new job as head of the newly formed NBC-Universal News Group, combining NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, and all streaming operations, Cesar Conde is making news himself. In a video and memo to the approximately 3000 employees he supervises, Conde announced a goal of 50% of employees being female, and 50% “people of color,” an expression commonly taken to mean non-Caucasians.  

"Since Caucasians account for more than 76% of the United States population according to the Census Bureau, this amounts to a vow of racial discrimination.

"Ben Smith of the New York Times tweets out the memo:"

.

. . . "Conde is a corporate climber, sporting a Harvard BA and an MBA from the Wharton School of Finance, having been head of Univision before becomng chairman of Telemundo (owned by NBC-Universal), and then moving to his current job. He has no background in the news business himself."

Ungrateful Omar seeks 'dismantling' of U.S. political and economic system

Tony Branco

Monica Showalter  "Mogadishu-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has found something new to be ungrateful for:

"The entire U.S. political and economic system, which she now calls upon to be cancelled:

“As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality,” Omar said. “We cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.”

"According to the Daily Caller:

Omar held an event Tuesday in her home state of Minnesota with members of the Minnesota People of Color and Indigenous Caucus. Omar tweeted earlier Tuesday that the purpose of the event was to address “racism in policing” in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

"So abolishing the police is not enough - although it certainly looks like she's got some rather impressive bodyguard police protection herself - the entire economic and political system of her adopted country has got to go, too in the country that embraced her as a supposedly pitiful Somali refugee who grew up in part in a Kenyan refugeee camp. Instead of look on the United States in awe, as normal immigrants do, she stands in judgment, and the U.S. is just not good enough.

"Nope, tear it down, like they did it back in Mogadishu. She'd the U.S. to engage in some cultural appropriation, a Somalification of the United States in order to achieve perfect equality among nations, or perhaps to feel more at home:" . . .

Senator Duckworth and Most of the Press Are Lying about Trump’s Speech

National Review  "Senator Tammy Duckworth says that, during his address at Mount Rushmore on Friday, President Trump “spent all his time talking about dead traitors.”
"This is a flat-out lie. It is entirely untrue. It is invented from whole cloth. You can read the speech here and see for yourself.
"One doesn’t have to like President Trump — or to have enjoyed his speech — in order to acknowledge that Duckworth is lying. One needs only to read what was said.

. . . Bash listens to Duckworth uncritically

"Trump did mention statues, but the names he mentions in connection are “George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, abolitionists, and many others,” as well as “Andrew Jackson.” In addition, he mentions the other two men on Mount Rushmore — Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt — and, in a variety of contexts, name-checks the “Reverend Martin Luther King,” “Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody,” “the Wright brothers, the Tuskegee airmen, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Jesse Owens, George Patton, General George Patton, the great Louis Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, and Muhammad Ali,” Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Irving Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope.
"None of these people were “traitors” — not one — which may go some way to explaining why The Hill approvingly quotes Senator Duckworth’s lie, and cites a CNN tweet that claims that Trump “defended Confederate monuments” but provides only this as evidence:
"If the truth matters, it matters all the time, including when reporting on Donald Trump. That Trump lies himself does not change this. That Trump is often incoherent does not change this. That Trump has said some awful things over the past five years does not change this. This was not a speech about Confederate monuments, it was not a speech about traitors, and it was not a speech that equivocated on the question of racial equality. Senator Duckworth is lying, and the press is helping her do it. Do they think we’re incapable of reading?". . .

‘This Editorial Is Simply Insane’: Brit Hume Rips WaPo Completely Lying About Trump Speech, Claiming It ‘Plumbed New Depths Of Depravity’

Weasel Zippers  "They moved on from spinning to just straight up lying, assuming most will not listen to the actual speech."

‘This editorial is simply insane’: Brit Hume rips WaPo editorial board’s opinion that President Trump’s speech ‘plumbed new depths of depravity’  

. . . "Four — count ’em, four — other Washington Post reporters covered Trump’s “dark” speech in which he exploited social divisions and warned of “left-wing cultural revolution.”

"And that’s what bothered them so much. He didn’t overlook the anarchist takeover of Seattle’s Capitol Hill or the violence of Antifa or the Marxist infiltration of Black Lives Matter. Instead, he shined a spotlight on it as a warning to everyday Americans. And the press couldn’t stand it.

"Now the entire editorial board of the Washington Post has come together to publish an unsigned opinion piece on the speech, saying Trump “plumbed new depths of depravity.” . . .

Brit Hume@brithumeThis editorial is simply insane. Yes, he criticized the violent rioters and radicals rampaging in the streets. But his speech was mostly a full-throated defense of America’s history and heroes, and cited not a confederate among them.

Meghan's Prince Harry wants you to apologize for the sins of his ancestors

So now we have the sorry specter of Prince Harry wanting to go on an apology tour for his own ancestors, except that you're the one who's going to apologize, while still living off the fat of the British royal family. Somehow, we've got the makings of a hypocrite, no doubt driven by the wokester impulses of his hideous wife Meghan.

I’m Okay, You’re White ...[Shelby] "Steele clarified his overview in a 2006 interview with NPR, saying: “One of the most remarkable things in all of human history is the degree of moral evolutions that white Americans have made from the mid-60s to this day. No group of people in history have morally evolved away from a social evil that quickly and to that degree in this sort of short span of time. And very often, in our calculations in thinking about race, we don't give whites credit for that.” Steele added: “We keep wanting to sort of keep them on the hook as racist. But the fact is that whites see racism as a disgrace and something that they would do almost anything not to be identified with.“ . . .

We Can't Have ‘NATIONAL DIALOGUES’ If People Get FIRED For Talking Honestly

Socio-Political-Journal...

“ 'While we write and print millions of words about race in America, why is it still so hard to have a truly respectful, decent, and humble dialogue about perhaps the most complicated and contentious issue in American life?” asks David French in his Dispatch article “American Racism: We’ve Got So Very Far to Go.” Yet he does not mention in his story of personal change the elephant in the room: the Black Lives Matter movement’s radical cultural hegemony.

"Establishment Republicans made the same mistake by ignoring the movement’s radical premise: that at its core, America is rotten and systemically racist, and thus woke Americans must rebuild and reimagine the country from the ground up.

"Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney marched with the Black Lives Matter movement, and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted, “It’s important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone.”

"Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell admirably tweeted, “Our republic can survive a pandemic. It can survive civil unrest. But ideas and deliberation are our foundation. America cannot be America if civil disagreement becomes a contradiction in terms. Anti-speech silencing tactics are a cancer in a free and open society.” But aside from McConnell and Sen. Josh Hawley, few Republican leaders denounced BLM’s central claim.

"Maybe many Americans are willing to have a productive conversation about race. Maybe they want to respectfully question the merits of workplace diversity training programs, for example. But the risk in participating far outweighs any reward.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson Hurls a Question That Democrats Could Never Answer Honestly

 Matt Vespa

"There’s a reason why the Left hates Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. He sees right through their arguments and expertly dissects their nonsense within seconds. He effortlessly pushes aside their arguments because much of it is grounded in absolute nonsense. He had a fiery commentary segment during last night’s episode where he pitched a question to Democrats that they could never answer honestly. This is partially due to the fact that they know the answer would be unpalatable to about 90 percent of the electorate. Then again, they may not even understand the question because that’s how dense the Left has become in their Acela Corridor bubbles."

“Can you really lead a country that you hate?” . .  .

Emphasis added by TD.  A portion of the article is below; Full article here...

. . . "President Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech also exposed the Left’s unbridled hatred of this country. Independence Day was usually a non-partisan affair. It’s our nation’s birthday, but if you celebrate it now—you’re a white supremacist. We also got lectured about how the monument has slaveholders on it. Yes, the Founding Fathers are canceled. We got history lessons about how this land was seized from Native Americans. Sorry, I will not be lectured to about American history by the historically illiterate. The Left has no grasp of history. Did we mention hat Frederick Douglass’ statues are being targeted now?

     "In short, the media had an issue with Trump’s speech because he celebrated America, espoused the principles that MLK, Jr., and Douglass advocated for their entire lives regarding liberty and equality, and called out the Left for what they are: an unhinged mob that’s seeking to destroy this country from within. We all see through their games, folks. Carlson noted the paradox here with these left-wing clowns. They want to control America, but also hate it (via Fox News):" . . .

Tucker Carlson: Why Left Is Lying And Spinning Trump Speech And Where They’re Trying To Take Us

Who would vote for a candidate supporting this?  The Mob Comes for America  . . . "The statue, two blocks away from where I once lived, is a celebration of emancipation, paid for by freed slaves after the war and commemorated by Frederick Douglass. But protesters, led by a Harvard University junior and steeped in Ivy League revisionism, decided the statue promotes white supremacy. This week, college students called for another Lincoln statue to come down.

Patriotism Wasn't Racist When Obama Celebrated Independence Day. Just ask CNN

How can people not recognize that contemptible channel for what it is?

Stephen Green

"Since Mount Rushmore wasn’t considered a problematic tribute to white racists until just last week, it’s important to remember that Independence Day wasn’t a celebration of white supremacy under President Barack Obama.
"Or any of the dozens of other presidents who preceded him, either.
"While I was never a fan of Obama’s politics, our nation’s first-ever Red Diaper Baby president could deliver some nice remarks provided the teleprompter was functioning properly.
"Here’s a little of what Obama had to say during his last Independence Day as president in 2016:

Obviously the Fourth of July — we enjoy the hotdogs, we enjoy the burgers, we enjoy the barbecue, we enjoy the day off for a lot of us, we enjoy the fireworks. But it’s important to remember what a miracle this country is. How incredible — how incredibly lucky we are that people, generations ago, were willing to take up arms and fight for our freedom. And then people, inside this country, understanding that there were imperfections in our union and were willing to keep on fighting on behalf of extending that freedom to all people and not just some.

"Those are lovely words, regardless of whether Obama actually believed in them or not. Those words tell a uniquely American story: An imperfect nation founded in service of the noble ideals of liberty and equality before the law, that then struggled toward perfection in further service of those ideals.
"Obama made the case more explicitly during his 2014 address:" . . .

CNN Trashed Mount Rushmore During Trump Visit, But Praised It During Obama Visit

. . . "A few days later, CNN’s Jim Acosta described Obama’s visit to Mount Rushmore like this: “It’s a fitting campaign stop for a presidential contender looking to make history. Standing before Mount Rushmore over the weekend, Barack Obama was asked whether he sees his face joining the likes of Washington and Lincoln.” . . .

‘Protesters’ Visit Gun-toting St. Louis Couple Again… Here’s The 411

Written by Wes Walker on July 6, 2020  "Last week, a couple living in their palatial home watched as a mob* of vandals and trespassers broke down the gate of their private street and, reportedly, threatened them.
"After calling authorities at three different phone numbers — including the police — and learning that nobody would be coming to help them, they grabbed their weapons and met the crowd from the front yard.
"Mainstream so-called reporters immediately took the side of the ‘protesters’, and spoke disparagingly of the couple. Even Chris Cuomo tried to leverage that event into some kind of a bizarre Trump-is-racist swipe. They were having none of it.
"Having learned that authorities would leave them high and dry in a situation like this, and concerned that all the publicity would make them a target in the future, they found their own security. Sure enough, the crowds came back.
. . .
"With improved defensive barriers (but walls don’t work, right?), together with the presence of armed security, the rowdies more or less behaved themselves.
"But who knows whether they would have been similarly law-abiding if not met with a strong deterrent? They had already been trained to expect that law enforcement would be a no-show.
"We have already seen any number of examples where laws don’t even slow this crowd down. If they decide they have the justification to wreck something, they’re damned well going to do it unless met with a strong deterrent force. And this crowd is a natural hatred for any and all trappings of financial success, as though the only possible explanation for success is having cheated someone." . . .
