“No sensible person should think that any governor should be able to rule by decree for almost a year, with no accountability at all,” Wszolek said.
http://www.terrellaftermath.com/
Washington Times  "LANSING, Mich. — Organizers said Monday that they will begin collecting voter signatures within days for a veto-proof measure that would repeal a law that has given Gov. Gretchen Whitmer broad emergency powers during the pandemic.
"The ballot committee Unlock Michigan announced its plan after the state elections board approved a summary of the petition. It would rescind a 1945 law that the Democratic governor has cited to close businesses, limit gathering sizes and restrict other activities to curb the coronavirus.
"The group, which has ties to Republicans, needs about 340,000 valid signatures. If enough are gathered within a 180-day period, the repeal legislation could be enacted by the GOP-controlled Legislature and not be vetoed.
"The committee’s website features a video of Karl Manke, the Owosso barber who reopened early in defiance of Whitmer’s stay-at-home order. She later let barbershops open as part of a gradual restart of the state’s economy.
"Unlock Michigan spokesman Fred Wszolek said the governor should not be able to continually stretch her state of emergency declaration - the underpinning for her restrictions. In May, Whitmer prevailed in court when a judge ruled she could use the 1945 law to lengthen the emergency despite not getting a legislative extension under a 1976 law." . . .

Don Lemon: Jesus Was Not Perfect When He Was Here On Earth

Weasel Zippers
This guy…



Thank you, Don Lemon  "The "great one" Mark Levin refers to Don Lemon as the "dumbest broadcaster on television."  Or is that Brian Stelter?  No matter.  Two sides of the same lying media coin.
"On Monday night, in an interview with Terry Crews, Don Lemon (inadvertently) gave up the game.  When Crews challenged Lemon regarding black-on-black crime and the death of a half dozen black children this past week, Lemon stated;
The Black Lives Matter movement was started because it was talking about police brutality. If you want an All Black Lives Matter movement that talks about gun violence in communities, including, you know, black communities, then start that movement with that name. 
"All this time, we were told that Black Lives Mattered.  Anyone who disagreed with Black Lives Matter was deemed racist for not advocating for the safety of, ahem, black lives.  It now is clear — thank you Don Lemon — that seemingly not all black lives matter.  Only those who die as a result of police brutality do — or, more particularly, only those deaths that can be leveraged for cultural or political gain."
. . . 
"Black Lives Matter are Marxist-anarchist "community organizers," rubbing raw the sores of discontent.  Their intention is the destruction of western civilization.
"Here is a list of their demands:
  • All black Americans should receive a guaranteed minimum income, health care, schooling, food, real estate, genital mutilation if they want to pretend to be members of the opposite sex, and abortion.
  • Bring an "an end to all jails" as we know them.
  • Disrupt the traditional family.
  • Demand reparations on behalf of foreign nations.
  • Form a "global liberation movement" that will "overturn US imperialism [and] capitalism." . . .
Fox News' Tucker Carlson Attacks Don Lemon: CNN Wants 'Dumb People on TV'
Trump slams Don Lemon as 'dumbest man on television' over debate question
"What do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the president's bigotry?" Lemon asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
"This is not a journalist. He’s an insecure child-man, looking for attention."

Don Lemon’s Anti-Trump Rant Takes Swing At Melania, Compares To Michelle Obama
Both Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Trump are accomplished women. Mrs. Obama is a lawyer, author, and mother to two daughters, Sasha and Malia. Mrs. Trump, an immigrant from Slovenian, is a successful former fashion model, businesswoman, fluent in five languages, and a mother to son Barron.
Ex-SEAL's hammering of CNN's Don Lemon goes viral  


. . . "After all he's gone through, Mattos wrote in a statement spotlighted by BizPacReview, he's "now returned home to the USA where a CNN host has labeled me as a radicalized right wing terrorist simply because of my gender and the color of my skin."
" 'If CNN does not fire Don Lemon immediately, it only goes to show that they are truly the 'enemy of the people,'" he wrote.

Democrats are coming for Tucker Carlson.

Biden and His Campaign Go After Tucker Carlson, Don’t Realize They’re Handing Him a Gift  "As my RedState colleagues Bonchie and Streiff previously reported, Tucker Carlson is not in the mood to play the left’s hypocritical “civility” games at this critical moment in America’s history.
"He’s also not interested in backing down from the fight against cancel culture, not in the face of left-wing boycott efforts, and not in the face of Democrat mobs who are fauxfended over his pointed criticisms of Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-IL) bizarre and nonsensical comments about President Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech and her saying she’s open to listening to radicals who want to cancel our Founding Fathers.
"Duckworth is an Iraq war veteran who lost both legs when her helicopter was shot down in 2004. Carlson suggesting in the aftermath of her comments about the Founding Fathers and Trump’s speech that she and other Democrats who agree with her “hate America” has led to predictable outcry and condemnations by the media, Democrats, and even some of the Usual Suspects on the right.
"The latest entrant into the Outrage Sweepstakes is, of course, the Biden campaign. Spokesman T.J. Ducklo trotted out another variation of the left’s “words are violence” argument by claiming Carlson was engaging in “hate speech masquerading as journalism”:"
. . . 

Tucker Carlson Doubles Down On His Tammy Duckworth Criticism and It’s Absolutely Brutal  "Tucker Carlson does not care about your outrage. That’s basically the theme that emerged as he took to the airwaves last night to address the dust up over his recent criticisms of Sen. Tammy Duckworth.
"For background, here is what led Carlson to originally question her love for America.
"This led Duckworth, who apparently had no actual defense at all for what she said, to tweet back at Carlson a reference to her losing two legs in combat. The insinuation was clear. "She’s a  veteran and questioning her motives, even after she tacitly endorsed the canceling of George Washington, is off limits. The media rushed to her defense, including some on the right.
"Carlson was having none of it. He responded and doubled down on his criticism, while also including Ilhan Omar in the discussion after she stumped for tearing down the entire U.S. system yesterday. It’s an absolutely brutal take down." . . .


Kaepernick Scorched After Describing Fourth of July as a ‘Celebration of White Supremacy’

The Kaepernick Effect: Ratings for NFL 2018 season opener lowest since 2009
Mary Chastain
Kaepernick didn’t mind Independence Day before 2016!

"Quarterback Colin Kaepernick confirmed him kneeling during the national anthem is hatred for this country that gave him an opportunity to become a star and millionaire.
"Kaepernick bashed Independence Day, calling it a “celebration of white supremacy.”
What changed? He sent out happy messages on Independence Day when President Barack Obama was in office.
. . . 
"Back in 2016, when Obama was still president, Kaepernick started a storm when he kneeled for the national anthem during the NFL preseason.
"Kaepernick claimed he did it to protest police brutality against blacks, not out of disrespect for the military.
"It sort of caught on, but then Kaepernick claimed the NFL blacklisted him since he hasn’t played since then.
"However, Kaepernick’s name has come back into the news due to the protests and riots across the nation after the death of George Floyd.
"NFL Commissioner Roger Goddell apologized a few weeks ago “for not listening to them earlier and encouraged them to protest peacefully.”
"Kaepernick is worth millions. He has a huge contract with Nike." . . .
But don’t forget this is the man who wore a Che t-shirt. You know, the guy who murdered blacks, gays, and anyone who opposed him. He also praised Fidel Castro." . . .


49ers Kaepernick Complains About U.S. 'Oppression,' Wears Communist Dictator Castro T-Shirt


Biden Admits Obama Was A Failure As President


Issues & Insights "Tweeting Sunday from, presumably, his basement, Joe Biden promised that if elected this fall, “we won’t just rebuild this nation – we’ll transform it.” Did he forget that he was for eight years vice president in the administration whose chief executive said just before the 2008 election that we were “five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America”? Apparently, Barack Obama didn’t get the job done.
So it’s up to Biden, or so he supposes. The man who was not only No. 2 for two terms, but was an elected federal lawmaker for 44 years, will have to plug the holes left by Obama.
"It’s up to him to guide the Democratic party through its full transition to the party of the deranged; ram through a soul- and economy-shredding New Green Deal; fan the hate-America flames; encourage the cancel culture; emasculate males; make the federal tax system as punitive as possible; appoint a Black Lives Matter co-founder to a top federal
post; further insulate our institutional elitists who have long lived in a bubble; regulate, regulate, regulate; violate then try to repeal the First and Second Amendments; mainstream The Squad’s lunatic policies and Marxist views; prosecute a war on plastic; and give the country more Venezuela.
"If by hard-left standards, Obama’s was a failed presidency, it also came up short in terms of any constructive work he could have done.
"For instance, the former community organizer, and the “new Kennedy,” oversaw the weakest, slowest economic recovery in America’s post-war history. He frittered away public money on a financial stimulus that had the opposite effect. He widened a racial divide that had been closing for decades. His foreign policy took America from a position of strength to one in which the White House’s “red line” was a backtracking marker, a soft spot that invited bad-faith leaders of other nations to exploit. The national health care program named after him has been a debacle.
"Never missing a chance to lowlight the country that provided him with an opportunity he’d have nowhere else on Earth, Obama said the U.S. was nothing special. His administration overflowed with scandals, from the IRS targeting conservative groups that opposed his policies, to gunwalking weapons to drug traffickers in Mexico and the U.S., to the 2012 attack on an American facility in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were murdered by terrorists, including the ambassador to the country, to Obama’s leading role in the attempted coup of President Donald Trump.
"It’s neither crazy nor racist to say Obama was the worst president of our lifetimes, maybe the worst in our modern era. It’s simply the truth. But that could change. If Biden is elected, he just might even be worse."

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."
"Via Twitchy:"
. . . "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.“ . . .
