EXCLUSIVE: AG Barr Rips National Media as a ‘Collection of Liars’ Over Riot Coverage

Katie Pavlich   . . . "They're basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They're a collection of liars and they know exactly what they're doing. A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people. It wasn't until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid," Barr said on the flight back to Washington Friday afternoon.

" 'The press has dropped, in my view - and I'm talking about the national mainstream media - has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they're reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. They're very mendacious about it," he continued. "It's very destructive to our Republic; it's very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It's contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship.' " . . .

Sports: sucking the joy out of our culture


 Ratings For NBA Games Tank As Fans Walk Away In Droves Due To Left Wing Politics

"Guys who play for the NBA have it made. They get paid tons of money to do what they love best, playing basketball.   "And now it’s being ruined over politics. "People don’t watch NBA games to be lectured about politics from left-wingers, but that is what it is becoming, and fans are walking away in droves. Ratings are way down." . . .

Colin Kaepernick does it again   . . . "Kaepernick's attempt to return to his self-appointed leadership position at the NFL's expense offers a valuable lesson for corporations, teams, and individuals forced to deal with SJWs.  You can't give in to them, for the simple reason that SJWs will never be satisfied.  Why?  Because their ability to find fault with you gives them power.  If you "heal" their "wounds," they'll have no more power, and they know it.  So whatever you do to accommodate them will inevitably force them to demand more from you.  As long as they are publicly perceived as victims, the media (at least) will gang up on you.  Better — certainly in the long run — to stand on your principles than to cave in to the SJW mob."

Never Enough: Kaepernick Blasts NFL for Not Caring About 'Black Life'  "The NFL has pretty much handed the reigns over to the Marxist Black Lives Matter radicals. NFL season kickoff ratings were down despite everyone being locked up at home with more time than ever to watch television. Many are pointing to the NFL's decision to go full woke as the reason for the decline." . . .

Kirk Herbstreit’s Gameday disgrace brought BLM misery to people desperate to escape it.   . . . "Kirk Herbstreit, the network’s prime college football analyst, delivered the indictment — a weepy, juvenile homily aimed at shaming college football fans, most of whom tune in to ESPN in a vain attempt to escape politics for just a little while, into jumping aboard the Black Lives Matter bandwagon: . . .

"And the social-justice Left, which ruins everything it touches, has its hands on pro and college sports like Joe Biden on a 12-year-old. All that’s left is to watch the stadiums empty and the advertisers drop out.

"Herbstreit killed college football on Saturday. Americans have no patience for struggle sessions. The Cultural Revolution is one thing Americans simply won’t buy from China."


NFL Fans Boo 'Moment of Unity' Prior to Season Opener in Kansas City  . . . "Ultimately, players and franchises have every right to take stands on issues and subjects that matter to them.  But so do fans, and sports is ultimately a business that relies on ordinary people to make it all work.  Aggressive, sustained alienation -- and injecting controversial politics into an enterprise that many people see as an escape hatch from life's various hardships -- is a risk.  Recognizing that reality does not put someone on the 'wrong side of history.'  And those who earn a living in the pro sports industry ignore the views of millions of their devoted customers at their peril."


Pretty soon it’s going to be “Monday night watch as this football team battles that football team to win a trophy that they will all share so no ones feelings gets hurt”

Trump Awards Medal of Honor To Hero Who Freed 75 ISIS Hostages

He was a major pain to those savages. TD

 Rick Moran


"Donald Trump awarded our nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, to U.S. Army Sgt. Major Thomas “Patrick” Payne for his heroism. He freed 75 hostages from the clutches of the terrorist group ISIS held in a prison in northern Iraq.

"Trump praised Sgt. Major Payne as “one of the bravest men anywhere in the world” for his actions during an engagement in which 20 ISIS terrorists were killed and 75 hostages miraculously saved.

“ 'Today he joins the immortal company of our most revered American heroes,” Trump said in the White House ceremony. “Pat, you personify the motto: ‘Rangers lead the way.'”

"Indeed, Payne is the first living member of the famous Delta Force to receive the honor while alive.

"Fox News:

“My team was responsible for one of the buildings that the hostages were being held in,” Payne said. “What was significant is that there were freshly dug graves, if we didn’t action this target then the hostages will probably be executed.”

As soon as Payne’s team hit the ground in the Kirkuk Province, they came under heavy enemy fire. Master Sgt. Josh Wheeler, another Delta Force operator, was killed after exposing himself to enemy fire. Wheeler’s widow, Ashley, attended the ceremony Friday.

"What made Payne’s actions deserving of a Medal of Honor was his perseverance in the face of heavy enemy fire to fulfill his mission. The Department of Defense website

Working with Kurdish forces, Payne’s team pressed on and helped secure one of the largest hostage rescues in history.

“He ran right back into that raging blaze,” Trump said of the dangerous rescue. “He sliced the final lock and released the rest of the hostages. As the building began to collapse, he received orders to evacuate but he refused to do so. He didn’t want to leave anyone behind.

“Pat ran back into the burning building that was collapsing,” the president continued. “Two more times. He saved multiple hostages and he was the last man to leave.”

Joe Biden Did Not Have the Guts to Get Osama bin Laden

"When the time came for a gutsy call, the vice president said ‘don’t go.’ "

National Review


. . . "The single best moment of Obama’s presidency was the May 2011 raid into Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden. It only happened because Obama ignored Joe Biden when he said, “Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go.” Biden is all too aware that he got the biggest decision of the Obama presidency wrong, which is why he changed his story years later to claim that he had actually supported the raid. That history is important to remember today, on the 19th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, as Biden seeks to become the next commander in chief.

"Biden has four main reasons for embracing Obama’s record rather than his own. One, Obama won two national elections and remains popular with Democrats. Two, the rest of Biden’s career is as a legislator, so his years as vice president are important to evaluating how he would handle an executive job. Three, as David Harsanyi has detailed, many of Biden’s own legislative stances are now sufficiently unpopular with Democratic activists that Biden has felt compelled to renounce them. And four, the tasks Biden handled himself as vice president, ranging from overseeing “shovel-ready” stimulus projects to dealing with Ukraine, are a morass of ineptitude, favoritism, and sleaze that Biden would rather avoid. So why not run on the best thing Obama ever did?" . . .

[EXCLUSIVE] Austin Mayor Steve Adler Led Defunding Police Department. This Is What the Cuts Look Like.

 PJ Media  "The steady stream of Austin police officer retirements and departures may become a flood, according to a source with direct knowledge of the Austin Police Department, due to the mayor and city council’s cuts to the police budget.

"The Austin city council unanimously voted for drastic cuts to the APD in August. Those cuts total about $150 million of the department’s $434 million budget, or roughly one-third.

"This screenshot (below) of a department spreadsheet provided to PJ Media shows which divisions’ officers will be cut. The cuts all take effect in 2021.

Spread sheet with details.

"Before getting into the details, it’s important to note a few things. These cuts were recommended by the Austin Police Department, but only after the city council voted to slash the budget. The mayor and city council may use this to claim that APD leadership “approved” the cuts. City council members Greg Casar (District 4) and Jimmy Flannigan (District 6) along with Adler have been the most vocal proponents of the cuts. Casar bragged about them on Twitter shortly after the unanimous vote." . . .

Candace Owens blames 'pea-brained' LeBron James and Black Lives Matter for the Saturday night ambush of two Los Angeles sheriffs

 One has been described as a married 31-year-old mother of a six-year-old boy.The other deputy is a 24-year-old male; Both graduated from the academy 14 months ago. Neither have been officially named.

UK Daily Mail  "Conservative author and activist Candace Owens has accused 'pea-brained' LeBron James of stirring up hatred that led to the shooting of two Los Angeles sheriffs on Saturday.

"With the two deputies fighting for their lives following the ambush, Owens, 31, said the outspoken basketball superstar bore responsibility for the attack.  

" 'Why does this happen? Because pea-brained celebrities that are idolized like @KingJames tell young black men that they are “literally being hunted”,' she said, referencing a May 6 tweet in which James responded to the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. "


Disgusting scenes outside LA hospital as protesters taunt cops about two young county sheriffs fighting for their lives after being shot in patrol car ambush

One local faith leader had told KABC: 'They were saying 'Death to the police' and 'Kill the police,' and these are sheriffs, but the message is still the same. They were using all types of curse words and derogatory terms. Unacceptable behavior, because a hospital should be a sanctuary.'

A radio reporter who was near the protest scene was taken into custody, KABC-TV reported. The sheriff's department later tweeted that the reporter interfered with the arrest of a male protester. 

Police later added: 'After deputies issued a dispersal order for the unlawful assembly of a group of protesters blocking the hospital emergency entrance & exits, a male adult protester refused to comply & cooperate…

'During his arrest, a struggle ensued at which time a female adult ran towards the deputies, ignored repeated commands to stay back as they struggled with the male and interfered with the arrest…

L.A. sheriffs shot in cold blood, BLM 'protestors' block emergency room entrance, chanting 'we hope they die'

"Oink, oink"!   https://twitter.com/selfdeclaredref/status/1305045405202345984
   
          
  Monica Showalter  "In a demonstration of astounding psychopathetic(sp) brutality, Black Lives Matter protestors blocked the entrance to a Los Angeles emergency room as two near-mortally wounded sheriffs, ambushed in cold blood in Compton, were brought in bleeding. And to make sure nobody misunderstood their intentions, they chanted in unison: "We hope they die." 

 "Here's the cold-blooded hit-job against the two cops sitting in their car in a well-lit area, done on camera. According to news reports, the victims now in critical condition and fighting for their lives were a male 24-year-old rookie and a 31-year-old mother of a six-year old child. 

A Biden talk show appearance has definitively answered the teleprompter question


Andrea Widburg  . . . "What’s new in the 2020 election, as opposed to 1988 or 2008, is Biden’s cognitive decline. Although his campaign and the mainstream media are denying it, it’s obvious to everyone. Several times, people have suspected that, during allegedly spontaneous question and answer sessions, he’s actually relying on a teleprompter:"

                             https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1304193485193588736

. . . "Most people watching took Ducklo’s wall of words as a “yes.” Yesterday, we got confirmation that Biden does, in fact, use a teleprompter even for friendly interviews.

"Back in April, when Biden did an online interview with James Corden, Biden displayed a photograph of himself with his sons Beau and Hunter. The photograph was beautifully framed, behind glass. Unfortunately for Biden, that glass reflected a teleprompter with alternating blue and green script, with one color presumably representing Corden’s questions and the other showing Biden’s answers:"


Yes, this "Interview" was scripted. Note different colors for teleprompter text. They are two sides to the "conversation". I've worked with TV teleprompters before. This is what they are. This was staged. It's all a show. Why does Biden need a script?

Five Quick Things: The Most Shamefully Dishonest Campaign in Political History

 

                                                                   AF Branco

The American Spectator  "Did you happen to see, by any chance, the interview Bret Baier did on Fox News with a soy-eater named T.J. Ducklo, who serves as the national press spokesman for the Joe Biden campaign?

"If you didn’t, you really missed out, because it was pretty destructive. And with that, we’ll launch into our Five Quick Things, which all fall under the category of evidence that the Biden campaign is the most shameless pack of liars ever unleashed on the American people.

"This is by no means whatsoever an exhaustive list. It’s simply the first five things that came to mind. We could easily come up with 25 more. You’re welcome to put your own nominations into the comment thread below." Outline of the article:

1. Joe Biden never opposed the China travel ban.

2. Biden wouldn’t really end fracking. Honest!

3. It’s really Trump who’s pushing those riots in Democrat-run cities, folks.

4. Mask mandate? Who said anything about a mask mandate?

5. Whaddya mean, defunding the police? Trump is the one who wants to do that!. . . 

"Here’s the problem, Joe. The cops themselves, the ones who follow this most, have adopted the old Ron Burgundy saying.

“I don’t believe you.”

"Of course they don’t. It’s impossible to believe this guy, because if you believe him about anything he says, he’ll turn around and say the exact opposite before your very eyes.

"That’s what you get when you’ve lied all your life even before you lost your mind. He’s a liar run by liars, and the only thing you can trust about Biden is that he’ll say absolutely anything in an effort to swindle the country into giving him and his handlers power over our lives.

"Let’s call that a bad idea and lay the biggest electoral smackdown on Biden any modern major-party candidate has ever suffered." . . .

Mere ‘Christianity’: How Social Justice Is Corrupting the Faith

... As a political ideology, Social Justice is totalitarian. It cannot tolerate the presence of dissent or opposition and is never slow to play the censor when and wherever it achieves power, eliminating whatever it finds “problematic.” The ceaseless proliferation of outrage and grievances, easily observable in online cancel culture, is not a bug but a feature.  ...
                                                               Flag and Cross

 The American Spectator  "Even during a season of numerous tectonic shifts in American life, one that deserves special note is the massive leftward political tilt that has occurred among many Christians. People who just a few months ago were filling their social media accounts with photos of their children, cooking recipes, and inspirational Bible verses now voice some of the most radical left-wing talking points about gender, “privilege,” and “Whiteness.” Pastors promote the work of Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo as if they were sacrosanct; post long, progressive screeds to their blogs and social media accounts; and insinuate that those who disagree are guilty of white supremacy. Christianity Today publishes articles that bemoan the fact that Christianity is not central to the activist movements going on in the streets and is instead “more like an awkward extra appendage to progressivism than its beating heart.” Dan Cathy, the outspokenly Christian CEO of Chick-fil-A, suggests that whites should shine the shoes of black people out of a sense of racial guilt. Groups of white Christians are filmed bowing down before their black church members to ask for forgiveness for the sin of “systematic racism.” As if some switch had been flipped, a huge portion of the professing Christians are suddenly parroting the most extreme views of what was, until only yesterday, the fringe left. 

"Those Christians who do so rarely, if ever, understand how specious this movement’s arguments are or how they manipulate language by loading familiar words with entire orthodoxies. (For example, isn’t it interesting that words as well as silence are now routinely described as “violence,” but looting and setting fire to buildings isn’t?) Nor are they aware of how radical the agenda is. “Black lives matter” is an indisputably true statement, and there are legitimate causes for concern when it comes to policing, but why, for instance, does the official Black Lives Matter website have so many references to transgenderism? Why are there exhortations to “dismantle cisgender privilege” and “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family”? Why all this talk of fostering a “queer-affirming network” and freeing themselves from “the tight grip of heteronormative thinking”? Why is there video footage of BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, calling herself a “trained Marxist”? Does the average Christian supporter of BLM understand this language?" . . .
