Take a peek under the Orwellian hood with this clip of dozens of oBjEcTiVe media outlets literally reading the EXACT SAME SCRIPT telling you what to believe

 

Joel Abbott   "I have a fair number of people in my life that wonder why I get so irked by our nation's media. In the last decade, millions of us have seen how biased and Orwellian the media machine is, and how it wields its power and influence to control the lives and futures of so many.

"But no matter how often I discuss the rampant partisanship in newsrooms, the one-sided daily attacks on conservatives, the narrative pushing, and the language manipulation, there are millions of Americans who still trust the media establishment. Many of them just voted for Joe Biden because said establishment has spent four years saying Donald Trump is an Orange Hitler and a threat to democracy.

"I often encourage people to look for trigger phrases such as "threat to democracy" to see the media's bias. Who do they overwhelmingly attach such labels to? What do they mean by the phrase? How do they want you, the viewer or reader, to feel?

"It's easy to take aim at the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC, and even my most left-leaning acquaintances usually understand there's "some" bias on those national shows.

"But what about their local news? Surely they can be trusted, right? Surely they wouldn't read from some Orwellian Big Brother's script to get you to distrust something, right?

"If anyone is in doubt, show them this haunting clip this holiday season. There's a new nightmare before Christmas in town." . . .

James Woods exposes dozens of local news shows reading from the same (Biden) script  . . . "This time, with a video that effectively raises the chilling reality that local TV news across the country has been co-opted into dutifully mouthing the same scripts, written to indoctrinate the public with leftist propaganda.  In this case, beware of "disinformation" (from you know who), cloaked in self-righteousness.  By combining the voices of multiple TV broadcasters on their respective stations into a chorus, with a collage of their images, this tweet exposes a genuine scandal in an impactful way." .

If We Want Better Policing, Eliminate Qualified Immunity

 People's Pundit Daily

"Yesterday’s column focused on how police unions protect the bad apples who misbehave and therefore cause some people to resent law enforcement, especially in the minority community.

"Curtailing the role of those unions would be an important step to create better bonds between the police and the citizenry.

"Today’s column will explain the need to repeal or substantially curtail the doctrine of “qualified immunity,” which was created by courts to protect cops who trample on people’s rights.

"It’s not a complete answer, just as fixing the union problem isn’t a complete answer. But getting rid of the doctrine at least will give citizens the opportunity to bring lawsuits when cops disregard their civil liberties. This tweet is a good summary for those who don’t have time to dig into the topic." . . .

"David French condemned the practice in a piece for National Review in 2018.

Judges created qualified immunity, and they can end it. It’s past time to impose true accountability on public servants who violate citizens’ constitutional rights. First, some background. Since 1871, federal law has permitted Americans to file lawsuits against public officials who violate their constitutional rights. It’s a powerful tool that essentially deputizes members of the public to defend their own liberties.

…However, after generations of judges have interpreted the statute, the phrase “shall be liable” has come to mean “may occasionally be liable.” …In 1982, …the law changed. In a case called Harlow v. Fitzgerald, the Supreme Court concocted the modern doctrine of qualified immunity. …As the doctrine developed, to prove that a right is clearly established, the plaintiff generally had to find and cite a remarkably similar case, with nearly identical facts, decided by a court of controlling jurisdiction. …the entire notion of “clearly established law” rests on a series of absurd, fantastical premises. Are we really to believe that a police officer doesn’t know he shouldn’t pound on the wrong door and blow away the innocent occupant unless a court said so in a case, say, five years before?

A Vegas oddsmaker’s take on Fox News and the election grift

 

Image by Ken Swope.

. . . "After describing a famously fixed football game in 1978 (the New York Giants versus the Philadelphia Eagles), Root wrote,

Gamblers feel the same way about this presidential election. This presidential election is rancid. It feels as fixed as that Giants-Eagles NFL football game. Let me give you the details of this election- from a gambler’s perspective.

"Once the polls closed on Tuesday and the counting began, gamblers took note of the onrush of Trump votes. Trump quickly moved from a 2 to 1 underdog to an 8 to 1 favorite:

What does all this mean? Bettors putting their money on the line during Election Night have always proven to be deadly accurate. Smart bettors can clearly see what direction a race is taking. Bettors around the world clearly saw what I saw, when they stared at the electoral map- Trump was headed for an electoral landslide.

"At that point, something very weird occurred. It didn’t happen at CNN or MSNBC, it happened at Fox News. You all remember that Fox refused to call Florida, Ohio, or Texas for Trump, even though Trump was miles ahead in those three states. Additionally, even though Trump was also significantly ahead in Virginia, Fox nevertheless called the state for Biden. But that wasn’t the worst:

And then it happened. It was the most bizarre call in Election Night history. Fox News called Arizona for Biden. Why? It wasn’t even close to over. There was no reason on earth to make that call. Arizona is STILL not over 8 days later. CNN still hasn’t awarded Arizona. ABC pulled it back from Biden only 24 hours ago. [Root’s article was published on Nov. 14.)

"The moment that call occurred Trump’s 8 to 1 odds collapsed back to 2 to 1. One of Root’s major bookmaking friends called him:

 “Wayne, something is wrong. I’ve never seen a drop like that, let alone a drop that fast. How can Trump go from 8 to 1, to 2 to 1. Someone knows something. We’ve got a problem.” . . .

Fox News continues to alienate its viewers  "Fox News continues to insult its audience. This time, the insults came from Kristin Fisher, who was speaking from either ignorance or malice when she attacked Rudy Giuliani after Trump’s legal team gave a press conference."

 .If Fisher had listened to Ellis, she wouldn’t have whined about the absence of evidence. Ellis could not have made it plainer that the conference was to summarize the case, not to prove it. . .

Democrats' PLEA for 'UNITY' Rings HOLLOW

Biden/Harris team takes its time responding to leftist violence at Trump 'MAGA March'

Socio-Political-Journal...

"What kind of people have to be hectored into issuing a weak, petulant sentence about violence exacted upon their political opposition?

"The Biden/Harris team and Democratic leadership, that’s who.

"Saturday, Nov. 14 was a day of tens of thousands of President Trump supporters peacefully (completely, not “mostly”) at the “MAGA March,” in Washington, D.C. Marxist Black Lives Matter and Antifa were there, too, but outnumbered, but when the crowd began to disperse did those usual suspects show up and proceeded to harass, threaten and exact violence against those simply showing support for the president.

"This was not a new scene. Supporters of Mr. Trump have faced verbal, emotional and physical assaults throughout his presidency, in addition to attempts by media to destroy the lives of others, like Covington kid Nick Sandmann. Whether it be adults getting screamed at in restaurants, being attacked for their support of the president, to children being assaulted by adults and other children for wearing Trump 2020 hats, Democratic political violence has become commonplace.

"Ironically, the Biden/Harris campaign laughably made calls for “unity” a cornerstone of their campaign, as they pledge to “heal the soul of the nation.” This, as video from the MAGA March of BLM, Antifa and Black Box anarchist assaults on families, older Americans and Trump supporters in general, went viral on social media. 

"In one case, an older man walking alone was sucker punched from behind by a masked rioter. When the victim fell face first on the cement another masked rioter came up to kick him in the head. Video of a young family being hounded, threatened and terrified was shared on social media, as well as footage of diners at a D.C. restaurant being shot at with fireworks, exposed the obscene and repugnant acts usually reserved for banana republics run by leftist maniacs.

"Most people only knew this was happening because it was shared on social media platforms. The legacy media for the most part ignored these events, like they ignore the continuing violence in Democratic cities across the country." . . .

Tucker Carlson: Time for Sidney Powell to show us her evidence

Everything in this country depends on fair elections, and it's obvious even now that we don't have them when access to basic information is restricted and weaponized by a partisan billionaire class. Google and Facebook are far greater threats to our system than Russia has ever been, and we need to fix that immediately.

Fox News  "On Thursday, Rudy Giuliani and a number of President Trump's other lawyers held a press conference on the topic of voter fraud. If you didn't actually see it, you've probably heard about it by now.

" 'Giuliani, along with former federal prosecutor called Sidney Powell and a number of others, alleged that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. To demonstrate that, they exhibited some of what they found after two weeks of investigating. The presentation went on for 90 minutes with many different threads, about which more anon.

"How you viewed it depended largely on who you voted for. Trump voters seemed hopeful that it might change the election results. The left and virtually every single person in all of the news media immediately dismissed it as an embarrassing clown show as well as a threat to the republic. That's right: the very same people who swore that Vladimir Putin's agents controlled the U.S. government called it a conspiracy theory. 

"A lot of Americans believe this election was rigged. They're not saying that because they're crazy and they're not just saying it because they're mad. They mean it. And that's a potentially fatal problem for this country. Elections aren't merely "central to democracy", elections are democracy. Voting is the way the public expresses its will. It's all people have. If elections don't work, our entire system doesn't work.. . . 

GIULIANI: She was assigned to voting duties in September and she was trained by the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. She was basically trained to cheat. She said that "I was instructed by my supervisor to adjust the mailing date of these absentee ballot packages to be dated earlier than when they were actually sent in. The supervisor made that announcement for all workers to engage in that fraudulent practice." That's not me saying that. That's just American citizens saying that under oath.

Wayne County election board's Republicans make a dramatic U-turn

metropolitan area.  On Election Day, Wayne County famously covered the windows in the vote-counting area so observers could not witness the count.  Nevertheless, on Tuesday, the two Republican members of the Wayne County election board agreed to certify the vote count — although they did so along with a demand for an audit.  They've now rescinded their agreement, saying fellow board members bullied and misled them.

"I reported yesterday the strange journey that the Wayne County election board took.  It started by refusing to certify the election.  Then, abruptly, the two Republican board members who held up the certification did an about-face and agreed to certify the vote.  The only caveat was that they demanded a "comprehensive audit" of "unexplained precincts."

"On Wednesday, Americans learned why those two Republicans had suddenly agreed to certify the voting results in Wayne County.  It wasn't because they HAD listened to their Democrat peers' reasoned arguments and changed their minds.  Instead, it was because they were subjected to ferocious abuse, with people calling them evil racists, and because at least two people obliquely threatened their and their family's safety:" ...

"When Monica Palmer and William Hartmann were called racist and fascist, they must have thought of what happened in Portland, when a member of Biden's base murdered Aaron "Jay" Danielson in cold blood — and then Antifa celebrated the murder.  Now they found themselves facing the same mob mentality.

"Not only did Palmer and Hartmann stare directly at the mob, but Democrats also promised that if they certified the votes, state officials would conduct a comprehensive audit.  Palmer and Hartmann included that language in their agreement to certify votes.  By Wednesday, the Democrats made it clear they did not intend to abide by the promise.

"As word leaked out about the intimidating tactics used against them, Palmer and Hartmann found the strength to take a stand.  Both rescinded their certification votes from Tuesday:"...

Within a couple hours of the 2-2 deadlock, Rashida Tlaib, the Muslim radical, led a mob of complainers accusing the two Republicans of disenfranchising blacks and of being racist. They demanded that the results be certified.

These two Republicans stood up to bullying, physical threats on them and their families, being called racists, and being lied to.  Praise the Lord! Oh, by the way, prepare for the Antifa and BLM riots, which I suspect are being queued up as I type this.

Voting Machines: Friend or Foe?

 

Rich Terrell

Don't Buy the Debunked Dominion Voting Machine Conspiracy Theory "One of the more bizarre moments of this endlessly weird election season happened yesterday on Fox News, as the cable news network's hosts and anchors appeared to be operating in completely different versions of reality.

"First, Maria Bartiromo dedicated nearly her entire hour-long program to spreading a wild conspiracy theory—born in the fever swamps of a right-wing message board and tweeted by President Donald Trump on Saturday night—that some electronic voting machines had "switched" or "deleted" votes cast for the president.

"Rudy Giuliani, who was appointed over the weekend to oversee Trump's legal efforts contesting the election results, told Bartiromo that he had "proof that I can't disclose yet" about "corrupt machines." Separately, Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell joined Bartiromo to proclaim that "Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes, but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose." There is so much evidence of this fraud, she claimed that "I feel like it is coming in through a fire hose." Notably, however, neither Powell nor Giuliani offered much of the supposedly readily available evidence." . . .

Widely-used Voting Machines That Helped Dems in Michigan Made by Democrat-linked Firm  "A computer system that reassigned thousands of votes in one Michigan county from Republicans to Democrats is used in 30 states — and has ties to high-ranking Democrats.

“ 'In Antrim County, ballots were counted for Democrats that were meant for Republicans, causing a 6,000-vote swing against our candidates. The county clerk came forward and said, ‘Tabulating software glitched and caused a miscalculation of the votes,’” Michigan Republican Party chairwoman Laura Cox said in a Friday press conference. “We have now discovered that 47 counties used this same software in the same capacity.” . . .

Deep Christian Persecution in America on the 2020 Ballot, Democrat Side

"The most recent evidence of this insidious threat came last week, when a Biden staffer suggested that traditional religious beliefs that homosexual acts are sinful and that marriage is between one man and one woman should be so “taboo” as to disqualify someone from serving on the Supreme Court".

URGENT: The twisted “Equality Act” is on the ballot with Harris-Biden and Democrats at large

. . . "Just this Thursday, Charismatic Christian prophet and pastor Jeremiah C. Johnson issued his own eighteen minute video which puts circumstantial meat on the bones of this Coverstone dream. Pastor Johnson warns us of the campaign promise just uttered by Vice President Joe Biden, that within the first hundred days of his presidency, he would wish to sign what is called “The Equality Act.” The essence of this bill, passed already in the Democrat-led House, would force Christian churches and Christian run businesses not to discriminate in decisions or polity of speech and practice, regarding sexual perversion and those trapped by its various manifestations." 

. Why Biden Is a Threat to Traditional Christians and Religious Freedom. . "Liberals often mock conservative Christians for supporting a notorious sinner and philanderer in Donald Trump, but the left has grown increasingly hostile to biblical (small-o) orthodox Christianity. Even the ostensibly moderate Democratic nominee Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. represents an insidious threat to the religious freedom of conservative Christians. He also represents a threat to Roman Catholics, even though he is himself a practicing Catholic.

"How could this be? Biden’s rhetoric and policies single out those who adhere to traditional religious beliefs and moral convictions, aiming to limit their ability to live by their consciences and ostracizing them from polite society. The Democrat may outwardly campaign on a platform of unity and diversity, but his candidacy truly represents a threat to traditional religious believers.

Stiltons Place

"In the wake of Osama bin Laden's widely reported (if little seen) death, information has been released stating that the terrorist leader felt there was no real point in killing vice president Joe Biden because of his unimportance. 
"Hope n' Change feels compelled to come to Mr. Biden's defense. Obviously he's important, or he wouldn't have had access to the top secret information that the raid in Pakistan was carried out by Seal Team Six...information that he then revealed to the world (and to terrorists eager to seek revenge) despite having agreed not to share any operational details of the mission. Oops! So widespread is Mr. Biden's gaffe that the Walt Disney company has just trademarked the name "Seal Team Six" for commercial exploitation, which rather underscores the Mickey Mouse nature of the vice president's policy on secrecy.
"Fortunately for Mr. Biden, the news media hasn't focused much on his "not worth killing" status because of something far more important discovered in Osama bin Laden's lair. Pornography! Apparently there was plenty of it, though currently there are no plans to show it to the public.
"According to Barack Obama, the material which he has personally reviewed is "very graphic" and "should not be treated as a trophy" and will only be shared with the president's closest friends and advisors and, perhaps, Charlie Sheen. -Unless Biden gets his hands on it...in which case "72 Virgins Gone Wild" and "Camel Humps" will be found on his Facebook page.." -

Home/Articles/The Americans Who Politicized The Bible The Americans Who Politicized The Bible

The American Conservative

Both Republicans and Democrats have done it, swimming in a current that stretches far back in history.

"Faith, and particularly Catholicism, played a prominent role in Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, which culminated in an election victory speech in which Biden quoted from Ecclesiastes and the saccharine 1970s Catholic hymn “On Eagle’s Wings.” The August Democratic National Convention that selected Biden as its presidential candidate in turn featured a panoply of paeans to Biden’s Catholic faith. Former Ohio governor John Kasich, former first lady Michelle Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and former president Barack Obama all characterized Biden’s religious beliefs as a motivation and guide for his political career. One suspects they are not talking about his submission to the Nicene Creed.

"Rather, as both the Democratic Party and liberal legacy media have constantly reminded us, Biden is a “decent” man who will provide “comfort and solace” to an American nation suffering through a pandemic, economic crisis, and heightened racial tensions. His Catholic faith, we are told, influences his opinions on core Democratic Party policies such as sustainable energy, welcoming immigrants, improving racial equity, and curbing gun violence. However, they also assure us, that same Catholic faith does not influence his position on abortion, sexuality, or religious liberty. In other words, Catholicism has been exploited as a tool of statecraft: essential to Biden’s politics when politically advantageous and discarded when it is not." . . .

The secularization process in biblical scholarship sought to retain a shell of religiosity in its belief that piety was still useful for inculcating civic virtue. Yet the concurrent effort to “demythologize” the Bible and interpret it solely as a work of historical fiction fostered a further privatization of religious commitments, neutralizing the influence of beliefs deemed problematic to the state’s domination of the public square. What remained of “faith” were only generic exhortations to be good, such as Kant’s categorical imperative. And in that, we can see its fruits in the diluted “nice guy” Catholicism of Joe Biden that is acceptable, even exploitable, by the Democratic Party.

They Came For Jones Day — And You’re Next

If Joe Biden is claiming the mantle of president-elect, he should at least act to stop his allies' harassment campaigns.

"On Saturday, former Vice President Joe Biden delivered an acceptance speech promising to “work as hard for those who didn’t vote for me as those who did.” By Tuesday, ‘those who did’ began hunting down ‘those who didn’t’ like rabid boar.

"It wasn’t a week after Democrats scolded their opponents for refusing to accept defeat that their pleas for hand-holding and national unity to turn into something much darker.

"The latest salvo comes from the Lincoln Project, which raised $67.3 million over the past year to defeat President Donald Trump “and his enablers.” But the group wasn’t finished on Election Day. Its most recent move, a personal harassment campaign, should make all Americans sick.

"The super PAC on Tuesday urged its 2.7 million Twitter followers to track down employees of Jones Day and Porter Wright — two law firms that it feels are in cahoots with the Trump campaign — and to confront them for “trying to overturn the will of the American people.” Soon after, the group published employees’ personal, private information online for those eager to do so.

"Co-founder Rick Wilson said the Lincoln Project also plans to “target some of Jones Day’s largest clients,” such as General Motors, as retribution for the firm daring to represent Republicans.

"This harassment campaign, while grotesque, was anticipated. It became clear soon after Election Day that Democrats were going to take their apparent victory as graciously as they took their loss in 2016.

"In mere days following November 3, Mr. Biden’s campaign bragged that the federal government was “perfectly capable of escorting trespassers” like Mr. Trump “out of the White House.” Former First Lady Michelle Obama condemned the “tens of millions of people” who voted for “lies, hate, chaos, and division.” Social justice activists taunted Republican parents, including one activist who gloated that, under a Biden administration, “your children” will be “forced to read my book on anti-racism in school on your tax dollars' .” . . .
