President Trump against Democrat soldiers: The Atlantic, CNN, MSNBC and, well, you know the thing!

It's No Shock Why The Atlantic Is Running That Fake News Hit Piece on Trump Right Now.  "It's because Joe Biden is scrambling to stop the bleeding. Folks, Labor Day has come and gone. Summer is dead. We're less than 60 days from Election Day. And likely voter polls are…well, they're not out yet. Probably for good reason; they show a close race. All we have is endless headlines from the liberal news media showing how Joe Biden is seven, eight, nine, or even ten points ahead of Trump—all thanks to registered voter samples. One word: unreliable." . . .

John Bolton Delivers Ultimate Blow to the Atlantic's Fake News Piece on Trump  "With all this bad blood between them, there would be no reason for Bolton to defend the president, yet even he said The Atlantic’s story claiming the president called fallen soldiers “losers” is “simply false.”

“According to what that article said, the president made disparaging remarks about our soldiers, the people buried at the Aisne-Marne cemetery in connection with the decision for him not to go to the ceremony that was planned that afternoon and that was simply false,” he told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum. “I don’t know who told the author that, but that was false and I recount that in my book “The Room Where it Happened” and reaffirmed that in response to questions the next day.” . . .

Atlantic Editor Admits Key Detail of Anti-Trump Hit Piece May Be Untrue  . . . "This admission by Goldberg completely undermines his entire story. Goldberg claimed the trip wasn’t canceled because of weather. Evidence proves this claim is false. Goldberg now admits that weather causing the cancellation is true. Why should we believe anything else in the story when the foundation of it is admitted to be incorrect?

"Despite this, Goldberg still defended his article, claiming that “the public’s interest in meeting this information outweigh the ambiguities or the difficulties of anonymous sourcing.” Goldberg also said he would continue to publish similar stories." . . .

3 Crucial Breakdowns In Journalistic Standards That Explain The Atlantic’s Trump Political Hit Piece   . . . "Anonymity is most dangerous when it’s used to make attacks. Washington is filled with “senior officials,” and the White House alone has dozens. If those sources are not in the room, did not see or hear the thing said, or can’t provide documents, emails, or other evidence to back their claims, good reporters can’t report them." . . .

Why on earth do liberal platforms want to defend Antifa and BLM?

Facebook Labels Rittenhouse Shooting ‘Mass Murder,’ Removes Posts Defending Teen

. . . "Facebook has labeled the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting a mass murder and has removed posts from users who argue he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed two people during a riot last week, a company spokesman told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

"Facebook placed the 17-year-old Rittenhouse on the company’s list of “dangerous individuals and organizations,” according to the spokesman. The spokesman did not respond to a question about whether Facebook will make a distinction between users who post content suggesting Rittenhouse acted in self-defense and those who use his actions as a way to express support for shooting rioters and protesters.

"The spokesman cited a post from YouTube personality Mark Dice as an example of content that will be removed. Dice, a conservative writer, wrote an Aug. 28 Facebook post in which he described a video showing Rittenhouse helping a wounded protester in Kenosha. The post was removed, Dice explained in a Sept. 1 tweet." . . .

Dismantling The Left Wing Myths On Kyle Rittenhouse

 Facebook Bans Friends Of Murdered Portland Man  . . . "Carmen stated there is no additional information in the Help Center regarding her removal from Facebook.

"The reasoning for the removal was later reported on by NBC News. 

“Patriot Prayer has hosted dozens of pro-gun, pro-Trump rallies, and attendees have repeatedly clashed with left-wing groups around Portland, Oregon, where one group supporter was killed this week.

"Facebook took down the pages as part of efforts to remove “violent social militias” from its social networks, spokesman Andy Stone said.”

"The company updated its policies last month to ban groups that demonstrate significant risks to public safety.

"Its dangerous organizations policy now includes groups that celebrate violent acts or suggest they will use weapons, even if they are not directly organizing violence.

"Gibson, who espouses non-violence but is accused by anti-fascist groups of provoking confrontations, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"After the shooting he cautioned supporters not to seek revenge, but rather ‘push back politically, spiritually.'”

"Carmen stated she is unfamiliar with the term violent social militia. “I’ve never heard this phrase before, and it sounds broad and made up; something that they can paint anyone with,” Carmen told The Libertarian Republic. “It seems now that Facebook is behaving as a publisher rather than as a platform.”'  . . .

Picture a Biden State of the Union address

 

Why do You Support Joe Biden?   . . . "For the purpose of understanding the headspace of liberals, what follows are a series of questions that will offer these people an opportunity to explore their vote. The question is followed by a short description that places them in context."

• Where and how exactly did Trump mess up and how would Biden have handled the coronavirus pandemic differently?
• How exactly can Trump be criticized for the economic slowdown at the same time Biden is being promoted for proposing more of it?
• How do you anticipate Joe Biden responding to the deadly and damaging riots in American streets effectively when he’s been here before and it is known that his anti-police rhetoric only encourages more entitled lawlessness to build?
• How do you reconcile the #MeToo movement’s aggressive push against prominent Republicans to suddenly turning a blind eye to the recorded interactions by Biden towards, not only women, but young girls? . . .

Another Trump hoax and Biden's mental decline  . . . "It’s nothing new to American Thinker readers that Joe Biden is not the man he was just a few years ago. We’ve shared multiple videos showing him struggling to read his notes, giving confused answers, showing signs of emotional incontinence (that is, being unable to control his temper), losing his grip on core facts, and otherwise giving every indication that he is, sadly, struggling with some form of senile dementia. And when Biden did recently get his act together, he had a funny little bruise on his hand that’s remarkably consistent with getting an IV in a location that’s customarily used to administer drugs.

"When Biden’s not seemingly hopped up on something, he’s barely there at all. The following footage is so awful that, when I shared it with a friend, my friend’s response was, “That’s it. He’s done for.' ” . . .

So now Democrats attempt to convince us of Trump's supposed "decline", along with Nancy's "morbidly obese" claim. Our choice: a brash Trump or a morally corrupt Democrat. TD

California Is a Failed State and It’s a Warning for the Rest of the Country

"Just showed this warning to my wife. She's a recent immigrant from a third world country. The look on her face was priceless when she realized that California, a major first world economic powerhouse, couldn't keep the power on any better than the country she just left." From the comments to this article.

RedState  "We have been some of the most fortunate people in the world because we are citizens of the most exceptional nation on the planet; the country that has been a beacon for the rest of the world.

There’s a reason that people have fled from all over the world to come to America.

"As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

"We have seen, between the pandemic and the riots, how easy it can be for people to act like dictators or for the rule of law to slip away.

"But in California, their leadership is throwing the state under the bus. They’re that flashing warning to the rest of the country about believing Democratic promises.

"Warnings went out on Sunday about a possible failure of the grid if it continued to be overwhelmed."

Celebrities Are Beginning to Feel the Uselessness of Hollywood Award Shows

RedState

"The ratings for Hollywood award shows have been declining for years due to the American people being tired of getting preached at by people who have no idea what it’s like to be a regular American. The land of pedophilia and rape telling us what is morally acceptable as they tell us our country is evil has long outlived its welcome.

"What’s more, the entire thing has become unbelievably political. Not just in terms of supporting leftist policies, but in terms of how you win. Winning requires pleasing the egos of those doling out the awards and striking the right ideological chord. Talent hardly plays a role anymore.

"American Sniper actor Bradley Cooper is one of the people who has become disillusioned with the award shows. According to the Daily Wire, Cooper noted in an interview with Interview Magazine that “vanity and ego” rule the award shows, not art:" . . .

This isn't the Brady Bunch here

‘Operation Homecoming’: Eight missing children recovered in Indiana, total of 72 children found in federal sweeps   . . . "Officials said the push to find the children last week was the end of several months of planning and coordination between law enforcement agencies.
"One adult was arrested and charged with parental kidnapping and possession of weapons of intimidation, CBS News reported.
"Over recent weeks, there have been operations under different names recovering missing children across the country.
"“Operation Not Forgotten” saved 26 children and found the location of 13 others, bringing that total to 39.

Q names pedophile politicians vulnerable to blackmail  "You are not supposed to pay attention to anything published on the website QAnon.  Avert your eyes!  Democrat

politicians and their media allies are sharpening their attacks against Q to make sure as few people as possible read what is published there.  Joe Biden, a man fond of touching little girls, recently opined that Q-followers should seek counseling for their mental health.  The House introduced a resolution condemning Q as a fringe political conspiracy theory, while the Daily News and USA Today splashed big articles on their front pages decrying Q as an insidious dark force, radicalizing Americans.
. . . 

"Q responded to USA Today with a scathing accusation: "Corrupt. Controlled. Enemies of the Republic."  (Note: If you are new to Q, please read my article "An Introduction to Q" and my other Q articles here.)  To prove his point, Q then asked, "How is blackmail used?" and proceeded to list almost 100 politicians — both Democrats and Republicans — already charged with sex crimes against children.

"Here is a small sample of Q's list:

• Democratic Illinois State Representative Keith Farnham has resigned and was charged with possession of child pornography and has been accused of bragging at an online site about sexually molesting a 6-year-old girl.
• Democratic Radnor Township Board of Commissioners member, Philip Ahr, resigned from his position after being charged with possession of child pornography and abusing children between 2 and 6 years old.
• Democratic activist and BLM organizer, Charles Wade, was arrested and charged with human trafficking and underage prostitution.
• Democratic Former Mayor of Hubbard, Ohio, Richard Keenan was given a life sentence in jail for raping a 4-year-old girl.
• Democratic Former Mayor of Stockton, California, Anthony Silva, was charged with providing alcohol to young adults during a game of strip poker that included a 16-year-old boy at a camp for underprivileged children run by the mayor.
• Republican state Senator Ralph Shortey was indicted on four counts of human trafficking and child pornography. In November 2017, he pleaded guilty to one count of child sex trafficking in exchange for the dropping of the other charges.
• Republican Senator Strom Thurmond, a notable racist, had sex with a 15-year-old-black girl which produced a child.
• Republican Committee Chairman Jeffrey Patti was arrested for distributing a video clip of a 5-year-old girl being raped.
• Republican Councilman and former Marine Jack W. Garner was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl.
• Democratic New York Congressman, Anthony Weiner, plead guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor as part of a plea agreement for sext[ing] and sending Twitter DMs to underage girls as young as 15.

"Clearly, even this brief excerpt of Q's list shows that plenty of politicians have lots to hide.  And, as Q suggested, powerful people who assault children are vulnerable to blackmail and may be extorted into a wide range of criminal activities, including treason.

"There's still so much we don't know about Jeffrey Epstein and his blackmail activities.  All those kingpins in politics, business, media, and academia who flocked to his residences were captured on hidden surveillance cameras.  What services did they perform to keep their criminal actions secret?  What conspiracies did they hatch to expand their access to children and foil efforts to bring them to justice?

"To even ask these questions is to invite the scorn of the mainstream media, the Democratic presidential candidate, and many other well established people.  But Q encourages his followers to investigate evidence hidden by entrenched global crime syndicates in order to find the truth.

"Many Q-followers have noticed that since the arrest of Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, there's been a quick succession of raids that freed missing children.  Did Maxwell give up the information that enabled the recent rescue of 25 missing children in Ohio, 8 children in North Carolina, and 39 children in Georgia?  The media have ignored these sensational stories, but the facts may eventually come out.

LEAVE THEM STANDING: Confederate monuments must remain at Gettysburg to help interpret the Civil War’s causes and consequences

This article will appear in the October 2020 issue of Civil War Times which will be on newsstands in mid-September. Get yours at Barnes and Noble, Walmart, and online at our company site.

HistoryNet  "Visiting Gettysburg National Military Park should be unsettling. The site exists, after all, because of a breathtaking failure of the nation’s electoral system in 1860. Powerful members of Southern society thought Republican victory menaced the long-term viability of slavery and refused to accept the verdict of the ballot box. They dismembered the republic and opened the way for a war whose memory grappled with massive human loss, emancipation’s vast political and social consequences, and anger that lingered for years. As the nation continues to struggle with that memory, a sound understanding of the war and its legacies demands a level of discomfort. The presence of Confederate monuments at Gettysburg will upset some visitors, but that is a price worth paying to protect a valuable and instructive memorial landscape.

"The need to accept discomfort merits attention because heated debates regarding the Civil War’s memorial landscape have included calls to remove Confederate monuments at Gettysburg. These debates on social media, in the U.S. House of Representatives, and elsewhere raise the question of how best to handle the conflict’s deeply, and sometimes violently, contested memory. No other era in our history features the unfathomable complexity of political, social, and constitutional fracturing that sundered the republic and unleashed frightful slaughter. Through 12 years of Reconstruction, decades of Jim Crow rule in the South, the Civil Rights movement of the mid-20th Century, and beyond, conflicting memories of the Civil War affected national politics and culture."

"Gettysburg National Military Park offers superb opportunities to study how the war has been remembered. The battlefield yields insights into memory traditions developed by both the war’s winners and losers. Because most Americans have little or no appreciation for the difference between history and memory, between what actually happened, and how events have been interpreted by different groups at different times, the memorials at Gettysburg hold substantial value as educational tools. As part of this commemorative landscape, which developed over more than a century and a quarter and retains great historical integrity, Confederate monuments should be woven into a touring narrative devoted to how Americans have recalled their defining national trauma. The addition of contextual waysides would enhance the quality of the educational experience by helping visitors recognize ideas and themes associated with various streams of memory." . . .

Left-Wing Media Have Jumped the Shark

Townhall

It is easier to discover an intelligent statement from Joe Biden than it is to find a real journalist in America today. In the Trump era, American journalism has moved from trying to hide its hardcore left-wing agenda to openly advocating for the Democratic Party.

 "For decades, the American news media have been liberal. Studies showed consistent and overwhelming support among the news media for Democratic candidates for president. Even a landslide loser such as 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern was the runaway favorite among American journalists.
"Previously, the liberal media made a minimal effort to hide their true objectives; however, today, there is no disguising their extreme hatred for President Donald Trump. Their purpose is clear, not to give fair and accurate reporting, but to advocate for the defeat of President Donald Trump and the election of former Vice President Joe Biden.
"At the president’s frequent news conferences, he is subjected to insulting, mean-spirited attacks masquerading as questions. Never has the media treated a president so rudely. Today, the White House press corps are so unhinged they make the rude questioning of Sam Donaldson in the Reagan era look tame in comparison.

"When Barack Obama was president, the media pushed his agenda and asked him obsequious questions such as what “enchanted” him the most about the position. These Democratic Party cheerleaders, poorly imitating reporters, might as well have thrown rose petals at his feet and asked if they could give him a foot rub." . . .

Remember Obama's Hawaii presser when he got this royal CNN treatment?

2011; CNN Reporter Dan Lothian asks Obama this challenging, insightful question: (Speaking bromantically to power)

"After thinking a second – probably wondering how fortunate he is to have such an unapologetic shill in the audience – Obama responded, “That’s a multiple choice question, isn’t it?”

"And this is the type of hard-nosed journalist the supposedly most trusted name in news has as a White House correspondent."

Shill:  1. One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.2. One who publicly promotes another's cause, especially in an extravagant or misleading way.

The Black Lives Matter Movement and America's Founding Principles

American Thinker

But the claim that "systemic" racism permeates law enforcement agencies strikes me as false.  What correlates most to police shootings and arrests is the crime rate, not race. 

. . . "The Los Angeles Chapter of BLM held a rally on June 23, 2020.  Their message: "We are demanding that the School Board vote ... to defund school police by 90% over the next three years."  This theme seems to resonate throughout the BLM movement and is often endorsed by many political leaders on the left.

"It is time we no longer embrace the well meaning slogans of the BLM Supporters or the radical agenda of the BLM Activists.  Rather, we must vigorously embrace and stand for the American way of life, characterized by a colorblind society, adherence to the tenets of the U.S. Constitution, and a return to traditional American family values.

"Thomas Jefferson is credited with saying, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."  We are now called upon to end our silence.  We must be vigilant — or we may very well lose the country the vast majority of us of all faiths and colors and creeds love."

Sharyl Attkisson Warns: Prepare for the ‘Scheduled Scandals’ Dropping Before November

If the numbers we’re seeing are true with Trump either tied or in the lead, Democrats know they’re in trouble. They don’t have too many options. Spread all kinds of scandals, try to find ballots where ever they can. If they lose, they wouldn’t accept it and create chaos. Hopefully, our republic can stand strong against it. Nancy Pelosi describes it, the “Wrap-up Smear.”

Sharyl Attkisson  "If anyone was surprised by the nonsensical lie being pushed by The Atlantic, they shouldn’t have been.

"The story, from “anonymous sources” claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t want to visit an American cemetery in France because he said dead military members “losers” and “suckers.” Anyone reading that would know it was fake and it was immediately debunked from all quarters by people willing to go on the record. But it sounded a lot more like the offensive way that the left depicts the military.

"The fact that such an obviously false story would be pushed shows how desperate they are at this point. It’s also pretty clear that one big font of support for the president and the GOP in general is the military. Consequently, Democrats have to find some way to unhinge that support.

"It’s 60 days before the election. Democrats and their willing acolytes in the media have already shown that they are willing to do anything they possibly can to win back the White House.

“ 'Full Measure News” Sharyl Attkisson had a warning for everyone." . . . 

“ 'Scheduled “scandals” will be rolled out regularly between now & Nov. 3. The media, politicos, propagandists pretend it’s organic & pretend to be aghast. Most of America understands what’s going on. After all, it’s not exactly a new approach in politics.”

  'No kidding.

" Expect a lot more, meant to completely disorient people and shake support from Trump. ' . . .

So don’t let it shake you, prepare, as Attkisson says, because wild things will be dropping between now and the election, guaranteed.
