Obama Defames 'Millions of Americans' as Racists in New Memoir

Many Chautauquans voted for you in the hope that race relations would improve on your watch.  As you know, they collapsed.  In January 2009, 79 percent of whites and 64 percent of blacks held a favorable view of race relations in America.  By July 2013, those figures had fallen to 52 percent among whites and 38 percent among blacks.  This had nothing to do with Donald Trump and much to do with your Tourette's-like instinct to cite "race" as the cause of your own and your administration's failings.  

Jack Cashill   " 'For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House," writes Barack Obama in his new memoir, A Promised Land, "Donald Trump promised an elixir for their racial anxiety."

Rather than speak for the millions of Americans whom Barack Obama casually defamed, I am going to speak for the 130,000 or so residents of Chautauqua County, New York, a semi-rural "rust belt" county tucked away in the far southwest corner of western New York.

I know the county well.  I spend a good chunk of each year there and set my first published novel, 2006: A Chautauqua Rising, therein.  (Word to would-be writers: do not use names in book titles that no one can pronounce: sha-TAWK-wa).

In 2008, Mr. Obama, you won Chautauqua County.  In that the county is only 2 percent black, it was the white people of Chautauqua who elected you.  In that many residents have not seen a black American since the Buffalo Bills moved their training camp, "racial anxiety" is preposterously low on the list of local motivators.  You appeared just as black in 2008 as you did in 2012, and you scared no one." . . .

...

"In 2016, the county that you carried in 2008 gave Trump a 20-plus margin over the very white Hillary Clinton.  Did her sex "panic" Chautauquans more than your race?  Or did they catch on that coastal elites had nothing but contempt for the "deplorables" in working-class America, what with the way they bitterly cling to their guns and religion?

"In 2020, Chautauquans again gave Trump a 20-point margin (More than 30 percent before the mail-ins were counted).  In fact, the whole southern tier of New York, like the northern tier of Pennsylvania, had turned deep red.  This had absolutely nothing to do with you or with race, Mr. Obama, but everything to do with the fact that your party has written these "fragile" white people off.

"Barack Obama owes the people of Chautauqua County an apology.  No, he owes the people of America an apology.  And he sure as hell owes Donald Trump an apology.  Thank God he didn't use the word "spooked.' "...

Leftist cabal's sleazy plan to blacklist Trump-supporters blows up in their faces

But it also attracted disgust from more than just the GOP.  Anyone with any human decency is repelled by fascist blacklists, which might be why the group refuses to put its own names out there.  Even some establishment journalists, such as CNN's Jake Tapper, were repelled, . . .

Monica Showalter  "It looks as though the Trump Accountability Project, a vile, literally fascist scheme to hound and persecute former Trump supporters big and small in the presumed post-Trump era, is shutting down.  It had been touted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Pete Buttigieg spokesman Hari Sevugan as the next order of

action.  According to Breitbart News:

The Trump Accountability Project, which targets supporters of President Donald Trump by adding them to a list and "holding them accountable" after the election, has announced that it is "no longer active."

"As of Nov. 12, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, featuring a photo of Obama-era migrant cages, they had this declaration on the front of their site:

We must never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.

We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically.

But those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart. The world should never forget those who, when faced with a decision, chose to put their money, their time, and their reputations behind separating children from their families, encouraging racism and anti-Semitism, and negligently causing the unnecessary loss of life and economic devastation from our country's failed
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. . . .

 . . . "Why stay up as a public relations liability when the slimework has already been spread far and wide? Easier to shut it and avoid becoming a target themselves. According to this

complaint posted by the Daily Caller, it looks like it's the doing of professional smear artist David Brock and his minions, which if so, wouldn't be surprising. Smearing and blacklisting others is Brock's sorry lifework." . . .

. . . "Yes, it had to shut down, but the venom that fuels some quarters of the Democrats carries on.

"In any case, good riddance, it tells us there are still some lines that aren't to be crossed, and some leftist fascists still aren't to show their faces." . . .

Feinstein Begs Graham to Stop Confirming Judges and 'Allow Biden-Harris' to Appoint, Graham's Response Is Perfect

RedState

But the audacity after all the Democrats have done to even ask this, it’s “imperative.” My response might have been just to laugh in her face for several minutes. No, maybe if you hadn’t lied and tried to smear good people for decades, people might give you any consideration at all. But since you didn’t, people should just tell you to pound sand. And that’s exactly what Graham did. ...

"The behavior of the Democrats in regard to the appointment of federal judges, especially Supreme Court justices has been abysmal for decades, starting with Robert Bork and finishing with Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

"It has been so bad for so many years that the Republicans finally learned to fight back during the attacks on Brett Kavanaugh during his hearing and stood their ground with Amy Coney Barrett despite the Democrats throwing a tantrum and leveling all kinds of attacks at them.

"Now, with a supreme lack of self-awareness, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to the Committee Chair Lindsey Graham, asking that he stop confirming judges until after the inauguration.

"Claiming that Joe Biden had won and Americans “overwhelmingly” rejected President Donald Trump, Feinstein said it was “imperative that the Judiciary Committee cease to process judicial nominations” to wait and allow Biden to appoint them. This despite the fact that was demonstrably untrue, the election was very close, with the counts and the legal challenges still going on."

Heritage Leads the Way to Protect the Integrity of Elections

Heritage

"Americans need election results they can trust. That’s why The Heritage Foundation has made the issue of election integrity one of its top priorities under the leadership of President Kay C. James. 

"In the weeks and months before Election Day, Heritage experts made sure Americans understood the importance of election integrity and the vulnerabilities of mail-in voting. And in the days after Nov. 3, as Americans awaited election results, Heritage became an even more important resource to understand what’s at stake. 

"The 2020 presidential race brought these concerns to the forefront in multiple states and exposed Heritage’s research to millions of Americans. 

"Heritage’s Election Fraud Database, a thoroughly sourced list of proven instances of election fraud, showcases 1,298 instances of voter fraud from 47 states. Heritage added over 50 cases to the database in 2020 and will continue to update it. 

"The database presents a sampling of election fraud cases from across the country. It is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list, but it is intended to demonstrate the vulnerabilities in the election system and the many ways in which fraud is committed. " . . .

A Sampling of Recent Election Fraud Cases from Across the United States  "The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database presents a sampling of recent proven instances of election fraud from across the country. This database is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list. It does not capture all cases and certainly does not capture reported instances that are not investigated or prosecuted. It is intended to demonstrate the vulnerabilities in the election system and the many ways in which fraud is committed." . . .

10 Climate Change Executive Actions Biden Says He Will Sign on Day One

 PJ Media

..."Here are the ten executive orders that Joe Biden says he will sign the first day he’s in office, via CNN.

• Require limits on methane pollution for oil and gas operations.
• Use the federal government procurement system to work towards 100% clean energy and zero-emissions vehicles.
• Ensure US government buildings and facilities are more efficient and climate-ready.

“ 'Climate ready”? Ready for what? The climate disaster won’t happen for another 100 years or so, but I guess it’s better to prepare now than be caught flat-footed 100 years from now.

• Implement the already-existing Clean Air Act, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by developing new fuel economy standards to ensure all new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified, and annual improvements for heavy-duty vehicles.
• Double down on liquid fuels like advanced biofuels and make agriculture a key part of the solution to the climate crisis.
• Reduce emissions and cut consumer costs through new standards for appliance and building efficiency.

"Electric vehicles are not able to compete with gas-powered autos. Forcing the conversion of the nation to electric vehicles will only mean a lot of us will be walking a lot more.

• Require federal permit decisions to consider effects of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and ensure every federal infrastructure investment reduces climate pollution.
• Require public companies to disclose climate risks and greenhouse gas emissions in their operations and supply chains.
• Protect biodiversity, slow extinction rates and conserve 30% of America’s lands and waters by 2030.
• Permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, establish national parks and monuments, ban new oil and gas permits on public lands and waters, modify royalties to account for climate costs and creating programs to enhance reforestation and develop renewable energy on federal lands and waters to double offshore wind by 2030.

"Most of this I’m sure you recognize as typical green promises by liberal lawmakers. We’re gonna save the planet, purify the water, save the beasts, and stick it to business. It isn’t that these proposals are mostly innocuous. It’s that they will be handed over to climate and energy bureaucrats to turn into regulations, each with the force of law. The paperwork alone will bury small businesses."

Did Fox News's premature Arizona call for Biden trigger the massive cheating operation?

Tony Branco

Shama Tobin  . . . "Secondly, when Mishkin and his team were deliberating whether to make the call for Biden or not, the percentage of the votes counted was most likely still about 60% or so.  Arizona is not a solid blue state. Trump carried the state in 2016 by a healthy 3.5% margin.  Prior to 2010, Arizona had voted Republican candidates nine times in the last previous ten elections.  And in 2018, the state elected a Republican governor by a huge margin, 14%.  By almost all accounts, Trump would carry the state again.

"The state's results came almost nine days after Fox News's call, with Biden leading by a razor-thin margin, 0.3% (49.40% vs. 49.10%), which is still contested by the Trump campaign.  But the Fox News premature call on Arizona for Biden was like a lifeline to the Biden campaign's falling hope on the Election Night.  It may have triggered the chain reaction of the Biden campaign to win the election, including the great mystery of the four-hour break of vote counts in Michigan and Wisconsin on the dawn of November 4.  What transpired afterward was massive cheating in both states.

"The question is, why did Fox News call it so early?  Or, rather, who is Arnon Mishkin?

"Mishkin is a registered Democrat.  He voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.  This is not to suggest that Mishkin and his team were coordinating with the Biden campaign.  However, I am 100% sure that Mishkin voted for Biden and has every desire in his blood that Trump lose in this election.

"Fox News decided to employ a partisan Democrat hack to make a call in a very consequential election.  Every conservative has a right to be furious and abandon Fox News.  And Fox News can thank Mishkin for the tank in its ratings."

Biden seeks to appease the Left as Democratic fissures emerge

Naomi Lim, Political Reporter, Washington Examiner  "Presumptive President-elect Joe Biden campaigned on a message of unity, but his own party is fractured after last week's shock election.

"Democrats failed to expand their House majority or gain Senate control, despite high expectations. And the party's Left is complaining they're being scapegoated for the disappointments as members try to shape the apparent president-elect's nominations and policy priorities.

"Yet those fears seem to be misplaced, with Biden's top spokeswoman signaling liberal Democrats won't be let down by the two-term vice president once he's inaugurated.

"Republican strategists, including Brad Todd, suggest Biden's buckling to the Left has been a running theme of his bid, citing his running mate choice of presumptive Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

" 'By picking Kamala Harris, the most liberal member of the Senate by voting record, Joe Biden gave reason to believe it is his intention to allow the left-most elements of the Democratic Party to have heavy influence on the rest of his administration," Todd told the Washington Examiner.

"But with another divided Congress set to be sworn in next year, pundits and Democrats don't believe centrist voices will be entirely drowned out.

"A Republican Senate headed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would make it "nearly impossible for really progressive legislation to pass," according to the Brookings Institution's governance studies vice president Darrell West." . . .

‘We Have A List’: Pundits And Democrats Plan To Hold Trump Supporters Accountable

Resist! From Hillary Clinton, the Kavanaugh hearings, the Republican baseball team attack, the scowling Democrats at the SOTU, and their calls to harass Trump supporters in public, there has appeared a real force of evil in these people and it all must be resisted. The Tunnel Dweller

 Daily Caller

"Several media figures and Democrats have called for lists to be made of President Donald Trump’s “sycophants” or supporters following the presidential election, suggesting that these lists will be used in the future to hold the president’s supporters accountable.

“ 'Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future,” Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Cortez asked Friday, the day before media outlets called the presidential race for Biden. “I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.”

"Ocasio-Cortez is not the only one asking for evidence of Trump supporter’s “complicity.” CNN’s Jake Tapper suggested that Trump and his followers should be careful of behaving in a way that might impact their future employment.

“ 'I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy — but at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity,” Tapper said.

"Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin also warned that Republicans “now promoting rejection of an election or calling to not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into ‘polite’ society.”

“ 'We have a list,” the Washington Post writer said. " . . .

Will Trump Ride Off into the Sunset?

Victor Davis Hanson  "I once wrote that whenever Donald Trump exits office, he will likely leave as a “tragic hero.” Over two millennia ago, the Athenian tragedian Sophocles first described the archetype in his portraits of an angry and old but still fearsome Ajax, and heroic but stubborn and self-fixated Antigone.

"In the iconic John Ford Western “The Searchers” and in a host of other films from “Shane” to “High Noon,” we have seen stories of these sorts.

"The legalistic but impotent town council, the idealistic but outgunned sodbusters, or the incompetent posse in desperation turns to unconventional deliverance. They suddenly need a John Wayne as a scary Ethan Edwards, or a mysterious gunslinger like Shane.

"But to call in such Manichean outsiders is to admit that the status quo of a sober establishment has failed.

"The outsider deliverers are suspiciously seen as self-absorbed. Their methods bother an endangered, polite society, even as they begin to bring it results.

Joe Biden's Walter Mitty world of 'president-elect'

In every respect, it is a production.  A production worthy of Leni Riefenstahl, the producer of Hitler's propaganda films.  It's as fraudulent or as counterfeit as an 18th-century Potemkin village.  It's Hollywood.  It's Netflix.  It's House of Cards.  It's make-believe. 

American Thinker

What’s wrong with this picture? 

You'll soon pay for putting Kamala on the side

"Everything. 

"Despite how it's framed, it's simply not true.  And that should scare everyone — not the idea of Biden as such, although that's bad enough, but the fact that your reality can be framed and manipulated despite the facts on the ground.

"Joe Biden is not president-elect.  Not yet, anyway.

"What we're seeing play out on the world stage right now with Joe Biden and his media enablers is the ultimate expression and manifestation of identity politics.

Just as some men identify as women or white people identify as black and compel you, despite the facts and your lyin' eyes, to see them, treat them, and greet them that way, Joe Biden identifies as president-elect, and the media expect you to fall in line and follow their lead.

"The media say it's so, therefore it is so.

"Slight problem.  He's not president-elect, and he won't be until he is certified as such and voted upon, on Dec. 14.

"In their rush to convince everyone and warp reality, the media may call it that way, and he might act, speak, dress in the dark blue suit and crisp white shirt and present that way, with all the associated trappings and backdrop signifying the solemnity of high office.  The tight camera angles may frame him that way, with all the uplifting and inspiring scripted rhetoric about national healing, but it is just so much theater designed to bend our reality."...
