New Narrative: Democrats, Media Team Up To Blame Trump For Riots

Daily Caller

. . . "CNN’s Don Lemon called for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to stop ignoring the rioting in August, adding that Biden should suggest the incidents are due to Trump.
“He’s [Biden] got to come out and talk about it. He’s got to do a speech like [former President] Barack Obama did about race,” Lemon said. “He’s got to come out and tell people that he is going to deal with the issue of police reform in this country.”
“And that what’s happening now is happening under Donald Trump’s watch – on Donald Trump’s watch. And when he is the president, [Democratic California Sen.] Kamala Harris is the vice president, then they will take care of the problem. But guess what, the rioting has to stop.”
. . . 
Lemon praised Biden for blaming Trump after the former vice president’s second statement, saying he put Trump “on his heels.”
“We need to hear our leaders denouncing the violence in our streets,” Lemon said. “Denouncing it. We need to hear them tell us the truth that rioting divides instead of unites. But this president can’t say that. He cannot denounce the violence. He just cannot. He cannot admit that it divides instead of unites… Election Day is just 63 days away. He’s desperate and he desperately needs to change the subject.”
"Other media personalities and Democrats have pushed the blame on Trump for riots, too." . . .

The plan going forward now that this accusation has appeared in print will be to ignore the rebuttals; they never happened. Next will come the snide accusations about our troops being considered "losers" by this president, with his remarks about the McCain captivity being played many times with the help of Hollywood's resources.

President Trump Outraged Over Report Claiming He Mocked Fallen Soldiers

A statement from the Atlantic that they "stand by their story" should appear in three...two... one...

The Political Insider  "On Thursday night, President Donald Trump thoroughly denounced a story by The Atlantic that cited anonymous sources claiming he called America’s fallen soldier heroes “suckers” and “losers.”
“ 'To think that I would make statements negative to our military and our fallen heroes … it is a disgraceful situation by a magazine that’s a terrible magazine,” Trump said. “I don’t read it, but I just heard about it.”

"Trump made his comments at Andrews Air Force Base after returning late Thursday from a campaign rally in Wisconsin.
"“It’s a total lie; it’s fake news. It’s a disgrace, and frankly its a disgrace to your profession,” Trump told reporters as he exited Air Force One.
"The Atlantic cited anonymous sources in a Thursday story who claimed that in 2018, Trump did not want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery at the site of Battle of Belleau Wood while in Paris because he was worried about his hair in the rain.
"The sources claimed Trump expressed that the cemetery was “filled with losers” and that the fallen soldiers were “suckers” for being killed.
“ 'They made it up and probably it’s a couple of people that have been failures in the administration that I got rid of and I couldn’t get rid of them fast enough,” the President said. “Or it was just made up, but it’s unthinkable.”
"Trump explained that his presence at the ceremony at the cemetery was canceled because of unsafe weather for flight. He added that a motorcade was out of the question because French police would have to shut down parts of Paris to make the trip happen." . . . Full article

John Bolton’s Book Refutes Claims In Anonymously Sourced Atlantic Hit Piece Against Trump  . . . "Meanwhile, the anonymous sources claiming President Trump disparaged fallen soldiers are under fire, being urged to come forward and put their names to their accusations, rather than hiding behind the Atlantic like cowards.
“ 'The sources in the Atlantic story should go on the record, if they want people to believe them over Trump,” CBS News reporter Kathryn Watson tweeted. “Otherwise, the president’s supporters will largely disbelieve this story.” . . .   More...

Here's How We Know The Atlantic's Hit Piece on Trump Is Pure Fiction

. . . The media has largely reported on this story as though it were true or at least likely to be true.

. . . "Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s former press secretary, called The Atlantic story B.S. on Twitter, “I was actually there and one of the people [who were] part of the discussion – this never happened. I have sat in the room when our President called family members after their sons were killed in action and it was heart-wrenching,” she said. “These were some of the moments I witnessed the President show his heart and demonstrate how much he respects the selfless and courageous men and women of our military. I am disgusted by this false attack' .” . . .

. . . "While Trump’s supporters have countered many claims in Bolton’s memoir, it’s beyond dispute that, had Trump actually made the remarks alleged in The Atlantic‘s smear piece, Bolton would have had every incentive to include them in his description of the events.
"Documents released as the result of a FOIA request also debunked the allegation that weather wasn’t the true reason behind his canceled visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery." . . .

Joe Biden should apologize to President Trump for being so desperate as to rely on a debunked story based on anonymous sources to launch an attack.

Blow Dryer Rebellion: Angry beauty parlor–owners hang blow dryers, curling irons from tree near Nancy Pelosi's home

After all, the rules that keep salons shut are not observed by the elites.  Just little people have to play by those oppressive rules. 

Monica Showalter  "How do you know a movement has caught fire?

"When the symbols start appearing.  Everyday symbols, placed preposterously, mockingly, giving a scandal a name and associating it with the tangible, the popular.  It's very effectively used in Latin America, where housewives in Chile started the practice, banging on pots and pans to protest the communist Allende-Castro puppet regime's signature socialist food shortages.  Coat hangers for abortion supporters, underwear for Clinton protesters — when it happens, it's a popular movement that's taken off. 

"And in this case, the instrument is blow dryers and curling irons, and the target is House speaker Nancy Pelosi, who turned up at an expensive San Francisco hair salon to get her hair done, not even wearing a mask, while everyone else had to stay home, and every salon had to legally remain shut, ostensibly out of fear of COVID, an old crisis that has since peaked.  The unused blow dryers are now turning up in trees, as loony decorations, a tangible symbol to show that the public is outraged.  And that's one heck of a memorable protest." . . . 

Gov. Kristi Noem Extends Offer to Salon Owner Smeared by Pelosi   . . . "Asked by Carlson if she thinks she'll stay in San Francisco, where she's been for 12 years, Kious said she doubts it. And it pains her because she thought this was her community. But ever since the Pelosi controversy, her Yelp page has been inundated with bad reviews, and she's received hateful threats, including one that warned her they'd burn her salon down. 

"Gov. Kristi Noem, who watched Kious's interview, took sympathy on her situation and said that South Dakota would welcome her with open arms." . . .

CNN’s Brian Stelter Gets BRUTALLY ROASTED By CSPAN Callers Over Network’s Biased News Coverage

"CNN's Brian Stelter went on CSPAN yesterday had no choice but to sit there in silence as almost all of the callers ROASTED him. WATCH Press Sec. embarrass reporter for ignoring the riots: . . ."

Don't mess with Queen Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi is just too important to obey the rules  . . . Yes, Nancy, regular people must wear masks at a salon these days — if they can find one open.
"What a slap in the face to Americans across the country out of work because of lockdown rules.
"As Kious told Fox News, “If she is in there comfortably without a mask and feeling safe, then why are we shut down?”
"Clearly because Nancy Pelosi is too important to be bothered." . . .

Salon owner Erica Kious fights back tears as she denies setting up Nancy Pelosi . . . “ 'Of course, since I had no contact with Mrs. Pelosi or her team for any of this and Jonathan is the only one they communicated with, if there was a setup, it only could have been Jonathan who orchestrated it,” Kious continued.“
" 'In fact, not only did I not set her up, her assertion that she is a victim and set up is totally false and outrageous,” she added." . . .

Millionaire Pelosi is out to destroy the struggling salon owner who exposed her hypocrisy  . . . "Pelosi is now speaker of the House. She lives in the wealthiest neighborhood in the nation and has an estimated net worth of $114 million.

"So, it would be disgusting enough to see her attack and attempt to destroy a struggling single mother's business, even if the economy were booming. But Pelosi is now doing just that amid a global pandemic and endless rioting that have destroyed more than 10 million jobs and countless businesses." . . .

. . . "Pelosi didn't just claim that salon owner Erica Kious, a single mother whose business has struggled under California's draconian lockdown, deliberately set her up, an implausible claim, since it's unclear how Kious could have made Pelosi not wear a mask. Now, Pelosi's daughter, Christine, has released a letter from a lawyer representing the independent stylist who gave Pelosi the blowout at Kious's facility, charging Kious with "furthering a set-up of Speaker Pelosi" by authorizing the appointment and then releasing the footage." . . .

Suspect in deadly shooting of right-wing activist in Portland killed by officers in Lacey

KOMO News Staff and Associated Press   . . . "His encounter with federal agents came shortly after Reinoehl gave an interview to VICE News in which he appeared to acknowledge having killed Aaron J. Danielson, 38, on Saturday. In the interview, Reinoehl said he "had no choice" but to do what he did because he thought he and his friend were about to be stabbed." . . .

. . . "The fatal shooting comes less than a week after Aaron “Jay” Danielson died from a gunshot wound to the chest Saturday near Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street in Portland, Oregon as a large group of protesters and counter-protesters were moving throughout the area.
"Officers arrived on-scene to find Danielson with a gunshot wound to the chest but he was later pronounced dead.
"Police said the shooting happened shortly after a caravan of President Donald Trump supporters was reportedly leaving the city.
"Earlier in the evening, a pro-Trump rally gathered at the Clackamas Town Center and held a procession through downtown Portland. The group was met by counter-protesters supporting Black lives." . . .

Portland Police rush out to clear #antifa rioters at the Kelly Penumbra police building

. . . "The streets of Portland were relatively quiet last night, Insanity Wrap is happy to report. The usual gangs of anarcho-communists, professional race grievance rioters, and the like were still out in force, but the mood was more subdued. 

"What Insanity Wrap is unhappy to report is the reason.

"Portland’s antifa/BLM thugs were, apparently, mourning the loss of one of their own: suspected murderer and would-be antifa revolutionary Michael Reinoehl."

Michael Reinoehl was killed by a federally led fugitive task force in Lacey, Wash., on Thursday. He was being investigated in a fatal shooting at a Portland protest.  . .  Jashon Spencer, who also lives not far away, also heard the gunshots. “I just heard a whole bunch of pops,” Mr. Spencer said. “I ducked. I thought they were shooting in my yard.”
"He said that he went out and saw a bloodied man in the street, and a video he took showed a law enforcement officer attempting CPR." . . .

Just like rats in a plague, Dems feed on America's misery

Just like rats in a plague, Dems feed on America's misery . . . "In other words, this is the perfect time for Washington Democrats to pillage for their own personal political profit.
"Mr. Trump, they say, was slow to address the pandemic. This, from the very vermin who paralyzed the federal government for the first two months of the pandemic in order to pursue a fraudulent impeachment trial against Mr. Trump." . . .

One intelligence analysis offers some hope for November   . . . "Trump ought to be a shoo-in for the election, but the Democrats weaponized the Wuhan virus to destroy the economy, piggybacked on an ex-felon's death from an overdose or heart attack to stoke violent racial unrest and anarchy, and are promising massive election fraud.  But fear not: a former analyst for the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency offers some hope.  I'll share some of what he said with you, and I urge you to read his entire article." . . . 

Joe Biden: The audacity of dope  . . . "For a week during the Democratic convention, Mr. Biden and his party were silent about the flames and violence ravaging neighborhoods across the country. They mocked anyone who reported on the fiery mayhem out of Portland or Kenosha or D.C.
"They thought the bloodshed was so funny they found corners of these cities where rioting and looting were NOT happening and posted pictures as some kind of twisted evidence that the violence was not happening in other parts of the city." , , ,

BLM eats their own, shows up at the mayor’s house after midnight

Independent Sentinel   "The terrorists of Black Lives Matter showed up at Mayor Muriel Bowser’s house last night after midnight. Muriel’s the mayor who wants to get rid of the Washington Monument or name it something else. She’s on BLM’s side and has Black Lives Matter graffiti on her streets, renamed a street after them, and constantly caters to them.
"They couldn’t get into Bower’s house so they banged on neighbor’s doors.

"After encouraging this type of behavior for months, she [condemned] the BLM for harassing diners. That might have agitated them, but they are eating their own." . . .

Rantz: Seattle Antifa hid weapons cache inside tents at occupied park

Aren't these the kind of people Antifa should be hating?

770KTTH

"Criminal Antifa activists and other Seattle agitators hid deadly weapons inside tents at a park they were occupying across the street from the East Precinct on Capitol Hill.
"The activists purportedly occupied portions of Cal Anderson Park to help provide resources for homeless residents.
"But during a sweep Monday morning, Seattle police found scores of weapons, including a machete, hatchet, homemade spike strips, an unexploded mortar, and well over a dozen makeshift shields.
"Cal Anderson Park has become a staging ground for Antifa and other agitators for their near-nightly assaults on the East Precinct in Capitol Hill. And while there was some low-level outreach by activists for the homeless, criminal Antifa and other agitators were actually using the space to help store weapons they could have used to hurt or kill police officers.
"Dozens of black bloc criminal activists routinely stage attacks on the precinct, last week using quick-dry cement to seal closed a door while setting the building on fire.
"On Monday night, a mob gathered around the newly-fortified police station to lob items at the building, including a Molotov Cocktail. Luckily, no one was hurt." .  .  .

"Despite what Blitzer is claiming, anyone who tunes in can immediately recognize CNN’s 24-7 vendetta against the president, who has accordingly and repeatedly called out the network for fake news.
"During the same interview, Barr also educated Blitzer about the fraud inherent in universal mail-in voting." . . .

Nancy Pelosi’s Daughter Releases Letter From Law Firm Attacking Owner Of Salon That Pelosi Visited: ‘Setup’

Daily Wire  "Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), released a letter from a law firm on Wednesday afternoon that attacked the owner of the salon that Pelosi recently visited in apparent violation of coronavirus lockdown rules.
"The letter from attorney Matthew Soleimanpour was on behalf of Jonathan De Nardo, a California Certified Cosmetologist based out of San Francisco, California.

"The letter stated:

"The letter comes after an interview that Kious had on Fox News earlier in the evening where she completely dismissed the notion that this was any kind of a setup.

“ 'She had called the stylist, or her assistant did, and made the appointment, so the appointment was already booked, so there was no way I could’ve set that up,” Kious said. “And I’ve had a camera system in there for five years. I mean, I didn’t go in there and turn cameras on as soon as she walked in to set her up. So that’s absolutely false.' ”

Pelosi and her hair

Pelosi's malignantly narcissistic response to being caught at the salon  . . . "For Democrats, as for all malignant narcissists, they can always throw the first punch with impunity; it's only the counterpunch that is a mortal sin.  In their own minds, they are always the victims of setups or of people evil or naïve enough to respond to Democrat insults, defamation, violence, or chicanery.

"If you want to understand the dynamics of Nancy Pelosi's defamatory non-apology, a little history is in order.  First, Pelosi is fabulously wealthy, with Pelosi and her husband having a combined net worth estimated, at minimum, to be around $97 million.  She lives in a home with a $24,000 refrigerator that holds $14 pints of ice cream.  Second, Pelosi is 80 years old, which means she is in the high-risk category for the Wuhan virus." . . .

Pelosi's stylist claims hair appointment WAS a 'political' set up - but the salon owner denies tricking speaker and says her business is 'done' because of 'hypocrite' Democrat's demand for apology   "Nancy Pelosi's stylist has defended the House Speaker, suggesting the salon owner had deliberately set her up and had authorized the controversial hair appointment.
"Jonathan DeNardo, the San Francisco cosmetologist who did Nancy Pelosi's hair before the city allowed salons to operate indoors, released a statement through his lawyer on Wednesday.

"The hair stylist appeared to support Pelosi's accusation that she was 'set up' by the salon. " . . .
