White people are bad, being white is wrong, and only a “right-wing terrorist” would vote for Trump — such is the general sentiment expressed by the Democratic Party’s national platform. The racism of white people is “systemic,” a word repeated 10 times in the Democratic platform . . .
The American Spectator"What is “racism,” and why do Democrats so relentlessly accuse Americans of it? It is necessary to put scare-quotes around “racism” nowadays, because the word has been quite nearly stripped of meaning by its constant overuse as a political epithet. Depending on the context, sometimes “racist” is merely a synonym for white person(which seems to be the message ofRobin DiAngelo and other proponents of Critical Race Theory), but during election season in the United States, it seems that “racist” is synonymous withRepublican.
"It is this purely partisan definition of “racist” that former First Lady Michelle Obama demonstrated this week in a remarkable26-minute video campaign adfor Joe Biden. Mrs. Obama heaped praise on the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as “an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity.” In fact,BLM is an avowedly Marxist revolutionary organizationthat has inspired the murder of police officers and incited violent riots nationwide. Of course, anyone who points out this fact is immediately subject to denunciation as a “racist,” and the purpose of Mrs. Obama’s video was to point the finger at President Trump. By criticizing BLM’s organized spree of vandalism, looting and arson, Trump was “stoking fears about black and brown Americans,”Mrs. Obama earnestly declared:
Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all. So what the president is doing is, once again, patently false. It’s morally wrong and yes, it is racist, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work…. Racism, fear, division, these are powerful weapons and they can destroy this nation if we don’t deal with them head on.
"The “tiny fraction” of BLM-inspired riots that Mrs. Obama dismisses as a trivial statistic inflicted billions of dollars of damage, mostly on small businesses in minority neighborhoods, but you are “racist” — guilty of “stoking fears” — if you express concern about this terroristic campaign of destructive violence. Trump is “racist,” according to Mrs. Obama, and everyone who votes for Trump is “racist.” Thus, what the former First Lady called her “Closing Argument” for the Biden campaign can be summarized simply: Democrats, good; Republicans, racist." . . .
“I want everyone who is still undecided to think about all those folks like me and my ancestors … the millions of folks who look like me and fought and died and toiled as slaves and soldiers and laborers to help build its country,” Obama said.

Oh Honey, you have that backwards. Every time you are handed a microphone, you resort to lecturing whites about their racism, but you are the racist. You have always run down whites in "entitled" and really disgusting racist rants.
Kamala Harris won — if the prize was awarded for the most lies in a debate"The vice presidential debate is over. If the winner is the person who quietly dominated the room, fought off two antagonists, never lost focus, and landed one deadly blow after another, then the winner must be Mike Pence, hands down. However, if the score was for the person who lied incessantly and refused to answer a critical question, Harris is the winner.
"Before getting to the lies, the most important moment of the evening was Harris's refusal to answer when asked about packing the Supreme Court. Pence had cornered Kamala, telling her to answer whether she and Joe would pack the Supreme Court. It was a question that required a "yes" or a "no" answer. Instead, Kamala squirmed, lied, smirked, and played the race card, all the while hoping no one would notice she hadn't answered. Pence noticed, though, and he put it on the record:" . . .
Kamala was helped in peddling her lies because Susan Page, the moderator, consistently attacked the Trump-Pence record. She balanced those attacks by refraining, for the most part, from challenging Kamala on her or Biden's history, asking them only easy hypotheticals about what they would do better than Trump. I wonder why.
Shameful moderator bias at the vice presidential debate"One tragedy of this election season, and all modern election seasons, is that the Democrats' radicalism is being hidden from the American people by a complicit media establishment.
"It would have been nice, then, if Wednesday's vice presidential debate could have been a teaching moment where light was shined on Kamala Harris's and Joe Biden's toxic positions. Unfortunately, moderator Susan Page's bias made this impossible.
"Page, USA Today's Washington Bureau chief, made sure to inquire about how Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court would affect abortion, exhibiting the typical leftist obsession with prenatal infanticide. She asked Vice President Mike Pence how he thought his state of Indiana should legislate on the matter were Roe v. Wade struck down (I didn't know he was again running for the Hoosier State's governor)." . . .
"It's amazing how when ratings plunge and ad revenue starts to dry up, moral crusades go right back out the window...
"Such is the case for the NBA, which has spent the better part of its shortened season on a political crusade on behalf of Black Lives Matter, leading to a sharp plunge in ratings that we have documented here on Zero Hedge.
"NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared to confirm early this week that Black Lives Matter messaging will be pulled from the court and from players jerseys next year. According to The Blaze, Silver alluded to the messaging being removed despite the league being "completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality."
"He said implementing the change is "something we're gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss."
"He told Rachel Nichols of ESPN: "I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer. My sense is there'll be somewhat a return to normalcy — that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.' " . . .
Let's hope this will go into the same dumpster as kneeling before BLM.
"SALT LAKE CITY, UT—Joe Biden's running mate appears to be in deep trouble after speaking in tonight's debate and letting everyone hear what her voice actually sounds like.
" 'This is a disaster for us," said campaign manager Jennifer O'Malley Dillon to anonymous sources. "We really didn't think people were actually going to watch this debate, let alone with the sound on."
Donkey Hotey
"According to polls of citizens who watched the debate, the very thought of hearing Kamala Harris's voice and signature cackle for the next 4-8 years makes 3 out of 4 people want to lay down in front of a steamroller.
" 'Never thought I'd say this, but maybe my old lady's voice ain't so bad," said Bob Ataboy, a local factory worker.
"The campaign vowed to address this situation and has set up Harris for personal classes with famous likeability coach Hillary Clinton."
"Harris advocates late-term abortion, thinks Catholics are not fit to serve on the Supreme Court, has tried to criminalize climate-change denial and the manufacture of guns, wants to give taxpayer-funded health care to illegal immigrants and, as California’s attorney general, wielded power like a callous autocrat.
Off limits are words such as “ambition,” “likeability” and “electability.” No photos looking angry because that “perpetuates racist tropes.” So is reporting, “even as asides . . . on . . . looks, weight, tone of voice, attractiveness and hair.” The Democrats are trying to stifle criticism before it begins.
California governor's office tells diners to wear masks "in between bites" . . . " 'I'm very confused by this tweet. The image suggests you should only take your mask off once when you begin a meal but the text suggests you should put it back on between bites," journalist Matthew Fuhrman wrote,referring to the graphic shared in the tweet.
" 'Should we wash our hands after touching our mask each time we remove it between bites? What if I'm eating chips and salsa and I go for a double dip? Is that technically two bites since it's the same chip?" another person asked. ' . . .
Going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? Don't forget to keep your mask on in between bites.

Saving California Will Save America"As proven by the torrent of executive orders issued by King Newsom during this COVID-19 pandemic, during a public emergency, constitutional rights and due process go out the window. In the coming years, with California’s one-party state leading the way, expect climate emergencies, systemic racism emergencies, and new health related emergencies to shred what is left of democracy in America.
"These “emergencies” are enabling the onset of political tyranny in California, with Governor Gavin Newsom as the figurehead. His most significant overseers are the teachers’ unions and Big Tech billionaires. These two blocs spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on political campaigns and lobbyists, along with funding powerful nonprofit groups that agitate for politically useful agendas with respect to the environment, homelessness, social justice, and race and gender equity.
"All this well-funded advocacy is framed as “for the people” and “for the planet,” but in reality, everything Newsom, his predecessors, and his puppeteers have done has failed ordinary Californians, while delivering more power and more profits to California’s ruling elite. ' . . .
Ann Coulter"Unfortunately, this week’s vice presidential debate — occurring after this column goes out — is unlikely to be something you’d see in the Turkish parliament, like we had last week. But I expect one similarity: There will be ZERO questions about any major issues, like crime, immigration, globalism, the endless riots, our insane foreign policy or what Wall Street is doing.
"More like: Our next question is about transgender adoption.
"And of course, Vice President Mike Pence will be asked to “condemn” white supremacy. Redeeming America from the bogeyman of “white supremacy” is apparently the media’s main argument against Trump.
"Earlier this summer on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” the Democrats’ vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, cheered on the protests that have been creating havoc since May:
“They’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not.”
"But Harris won’t be asked about that. According to USA Today’s fact check, she never said any such thing. The newspaper rated the claim that Harris supported the destructive protests — which, again, is on video — “PARTLY FALSE” on the grounds that Harris referred to “protests, not “riots.”
"Those were “peaceful protests”!
"Why are we required to pretend the Black Lives Matter “protests” are lovely little afternoon teas, while the antifa riots that inevitably follow are the problem? (If there is a problem at all, which there can’t be, because “antifa” doesn’t exist, nor do “riots,” but if they do, it’s white supremacists doing them!)"I’m open to the argument that an organization is not responsible for the things people do in its name — but that’s not the media’s position. Even if it were true that the BLM “protests” were peaceful (and it’s not), then why do the media always hector Trump to denounce “white supremacists” on the grounds that theycertainly regard him as their leader!?
"Whenever and wherever antifa riot, they spray-paint “BLM” on walls, chant BLM slogans, vilify the police and scream about “black lives.” Quite obviously, they think they’re committing vandalism, assault and arson to help BLM. At the very least, BLM is not doing much to police their sworn allies.
"Even taking BLM “peaceful protests” on their own, they are not what most people regard as peaceful, like the anti-nuke protests in the 1980s, featuring singing, dancing, balloons and jugglers.
"The basic, factory-issue BLM protest, with no bells and whistles, involves angry marchers screaming, “F–k the police!” “Fry like bacon!” “I know you got a gun, but so do I!” “Your mother’s umbilical cord should have wrapped around your neck and choked you just the way you choked George Floyd, you filthy animal.” (Floyd died of a heart attack, not strangulation.) They nearly always include chants of the 100% proved lie about the shooting of Mike Brown, “Hands up! Don’t Shoot!” BLM protesters block traffic, stop cars and demand the drivers swear allegiance to BLM. They invade restaurants and shout in patrons’ faces. And let’s not forget the looting.
"Most people consider that, at the very least, obnoxious.
"But instead of asking either of the Democratic candidates about their enthusiasm for BLM and antifa riots — I mean “protests” — the media insist on endlessly chewing over a worldwide threat that exists exclusively in their imaginations: WHITE SUPREMACY!
"If you’d asked me before the presidential debate last week, What if someone brings up the media’s “fine people, on both sides” lie about Trump? I’d have said: Nah, he clearly denounced “white supremacists” in that very statement; no one would be that stupid.
"Chris Wallace is! I thought he was stealing a 4-year-old, hacky idea from CNN’s Jake Tapper, but it turns out Wallace himself asked Trump this exact same question about condemning “white supremacy” during a primary debate in March 2016. Journalists are like 2-year-olds who won’t stop asking why the sky is blue or how high is “up.” (Or a similarly unanswerable question: Why on earth doesn’t Trump keep an MP3 file in his pocket of him saying, “… and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”)
"Inasmuch as the media are never going to stop demanding that Trump “condemn” white supremacy — and seeing as Trump refuses to just play the tape — how about turning it around and demanding that Biden denounce NAMBLA?
"I am calling on my opponent to condemn NAMBLA right here and right now. Do you, Mr. Biden, admit that a grown man having anal sex with a 10-year-old is wrong? Will you tell your supporters this right now? Pederasts certainly think you support them. They vote for you, they don’t vote for me!
"The question is more than legitimate: 1) Unlike “white supremacists,” the North American Man-Boy Love Association actually exists; and 2) while NAMBLA may not have officially endorsed Biden-Harris yet, we know they support him, as much as the media know “white supremacists” support Trump."
What George Soros and BLM want, they get. Putting the mob "in fear of injury"? How fearful must the McCloskeys have been when seeing this mob in their front yard while American cities were burned and looted by similar mobs. TD
“The government chooses to persecute us for doing no more than exercising our right to defend ourselves, our home, our property and our family and now we’re getting drug here time after time after time and for what?”
. . . "The charges filed in July say that on June 28, Mark McCloskey, 63, pointed an AR-15 rifle at protesters and Patricia McCloskey, 61, wielded a semiautomatic handgun, placing protesters in fear of injury.
"Outside the Carnahan Courthouse on Tuesday, Mark McCloskey criticized the City Counselor’s Office for opting against prosecuting protesters for trespassing in Portland Place, a private, gated street. Nine protesters were initially served police summonses, but City Counselor Michael Garvin said on Sept. 29 that trespassing charges would not be pursued.
“The government chooses to persecute us for doing no more than exercising our right to defend ourselves, our home, our property and our family and now we’re getting drug here time after time after time and for what?” Mark McCloskey said. “We didn’t fire a shot.

“Some of us choose to speak up following the horrific event that transpired on Sunday evening near our homes.

Question: Why are so many of America’s young people apparently beguiled into despising America’s founding and heritage?
. . . "As I was writing this column, I was reminded of a deeply moving experience I had while I was speaking at a conference on Freedom in Romania, just after they had overthrown the horrifically brutal Communist dictator Ceausescu in 1989. The conference was on how Romania could now install a free and democratically self-governing society with deep respect for human rights — “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
"I was in a private, one-to-one meeting with the Romanian equivalent of the U.S. Attorney General. He pulled a book off the shelf in his office, opened it up, and started reading in English, “When in the course of human events . . .” — the American Declaration of Independence. After he had read the part, “All men are created equal,” he looked up with tears in his eyes and said, “We want what you have.”
"Shame on us as Americans for far too often treating the timeless truths embodied in the Declaration of Independence familiarly when they are indeed priceless and the Revolution those truths ignited in 1776 has deeply impacted people and ignited the fire of liberty in their hearts both here and around the globe. Those founding principles are what inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to call for his fellow citizens to live up to the ideals spelled out in our founding documents — a call we continue to seek to fulfill for ever greater numbers of our people yet still today.
"So why are so many of our young adults rejecting this widely held view which is a truly glorious heritage? Of all men and women, we are most blessed to be heirs of this inspiring legacy. Well, there are two reasons, one nefarious and the other merely scandalous. " . . .
This bitter woman spreads her anger and victimhood to every college class she addresses.
ichelle Obama engages in blatant racial demagoguery"With less than a month to go to the election, Michelle Obama released a 24-minute-long video in which she lectures her supporters to vote against Trump. While she found time to throw a few kind words to Biden, Michelle used the bulk of the video to call Trump a liar and racist. As always, Michelle's facts were false, while her words were intended to trigger people's irrational fears. Her performance was disgraceful — and was almost certainly intended to counteract Trump's rising popularity among blacks and Hispanics.
"As you may have gathered, I dislike Michelle Obama, so let me get my biases out of the way. This is a woman who had every opportunity in life — a stable, two-parent upbringing; a middle-class lifestyle; Ivy League undergraduate and law school educations; high-paying jobs created specifically for her; eight years as the most worshiped, photographed woman in the world after Princess Diana; and an equally worshipful post–White House life, complete with $65 million in her pocket.
"But is Michelle happy? No. Has she ever been happy? No." . . .
. . . I'll end with three videos. The first is Michelle's harangue. The secondputs Michelle's words side-by-side with the violence she denies. The third is a black man whose oration explains the fear driving Michelle's demagoguery." . . . Videos here, at the bottom.
The BLM Riot Victims Michelle Obama Doesn’t Give a Damn About. . . "Let's take a look at the data Mrs. Obama is likely referring to. A study by Princeton University found 570 Black Lives Matter led "protests" turned into violent riots." . . . Case in point:
Once again, the “peaceful” BLM mob strikes again, but this time at a child’s birthday party. In this video, two women can be seen tossing a table and yelling at the family to “move [their] stuff.” But when the family refused to be bullied, they yanked the table away, destroying the birthday cake and decorations in the process: . . .
Ending charter schools would not only do nothing to help minority communities, it will hurt them. If anything, BLM is much more aligned with white Democrats than they are with black people.
American Thinker. . . "The alignment does not end with white Democrats. BLM and M4BL founder Patrisse Cullors admits in an interview that she and her two cofounder colleagues are “trained Marxists.” Because of this admission, BLM’s official positions should be viewed through that broader lens. Researcher and business analyst Lipton Matthews breaks down in an op-ed why BLM’s opposition to both capitalism and the nuclear family is incredibly problematic and contrary to the core values of the broader black community, as is Marxism itself. M4BL writes:
“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and villages that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”
. . . "For the uninitiated, Marxism is communism, and it is a system in which the government owns all property and distributes as it sees fit. It is a system that has proven to fail time and time again, yet proponents of it continue to infiltrate free societies to romanticize and promote it. The millions of people who have fled communist regimes have much wisdom to offer those of us who think the teachings of Karl Marx are a good thing, but unfortunately, their voices are not elevated like the ones preaching it to the masses. Marxism tends to dress itself in words like “freedom,” “liberation,” or “revolution” to attract young minds. The bitter irony is that Marxism is literally the opposite of those words." . . .
Radical ANTIFA-BLM Riots Cost Upwards Of $1 Billion, According To Early Estimates . . . "More than 250 buildings were looted and damaged in St. Paul and Minneapolis during the George Floyd protests. In Dallas, Texas, numerous businesses were vandalized and looted, with some rioters slashing tires and breaking windows on police vehicles. Los Angeles saw a string of looting, burglary, robbery, vandalism and arson during the protests." . . .
Houston, TX: BLM destroys Hispanic child’s birthday partyWatch the video here."Once again, the “peaceful” BLM mob strikes again, but this time at a child’s birthday party. In this video, two women can be seen tossing a table and yelling at the family to “move [their] stuff.” But when the family refused to be bullied, they yanked the table away, destroying the birthday cake and decorations in the process: . . .
. . . "Over the weekend, riots fueled by Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA anarchists continued. The rioters are feeling emboldened by the lack of action from local Democrats who do nothing while the cities are destroyed, and citizens are harassed and assaulted.
"Pittsburgh was the scene of one of the more outrageous BLM groups who screamed in the face of white elderly outdoor diners and then chugged a drink. The BLM crowd swarmed the outdoor dining area as one woman wearing a “Nazi Lives Don’t Matter” t-shirt drank an elderly man’s beer while someone else smashed a glass.
“ 'F*ck 12 and f*ck white people! You old dick!” one BLM militant yelled to a peaceful elderly white man sitting at a table.
"Other violent Biden supporters were breaking glassware and intimidating diners."...
Breaking Video: Michelle Obama Goes Low Claiming Trump is “Racist” for Calling Riots Violent "Michelle Obama stuck her head up today to give her opinion on the BLM riots. She must not know that the American people have seen video after video of death,
destruction, and extreme violence from BLM agitators. For the past several months, the BLM mobs have destroyed cities by burning, smashing, and looting. She calls the movement overwhelmingly peaceful and then turns around and calls President Trump a racist for telling the truth? This comes from a woman who called a white shopper at Target a racist because she asked Michelle to get something from a high shelf. Victimhood is what Michelle Obama knows and the real sin is that she uses it to get ahead politically. This race hustler needs to crawl back under a rock.
Michelle Obama on "peaceful" BLM riots:
Trump is “pinning [violence] on what’s been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity; it’s true, research backs it up; only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all … What the president is doing is … racist.”
By their actions and their words, Democrats have instilled in blacks the notion that they are helpless, and the odds are stacked against them. Like all of the Democrat’s lies, it’s been repeated so often, many blacks firmly believe that no matter how hard they work, the system is against them, and they will never get ahead.
. . . "But rather than protesting for more entitlements, why doesn’t she just tell them to work hard in a chosen field and break out of the cycle that continues to keep them stuck? Many blacks have found success in today’s America. The old fashioned way.
"That would be a lot more empowering than telling them to go out and protest."
Who can forget Ted Cruz's takedown of the MSNBC moderators in 2016 and the pleased look on moderator Carl Quintanilla's face as he oddly enjoyed the moment:
The debate was barely 30 minutes in, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) stole the show when he went directly after CNBC’s Republican primary debate moderators, who had spent a good portion of the debate using their questions as an excuse to attack the Republican candidates on stage.
