How the Media Ignore Jew-Haters

 ..."Bobb telling Jews how he thinks they should feel: “If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired.”

Parody from the Babylon Bee:  Ilhan Omar: 'If Israel Is So Innocent, Then Why Do They Insist On Being Jews?' 

Many Republicans have condemned the statements, but Democrats have mostly remained silent, Speaker Nancy Pelosi claiming to have never heard of Representatives Omar and Tlaib.

- Christine Rosen at Commentary Magazine  "If you Google the term “anti-Semitism,” the search engine returns a straightforward definition: “Hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people.” By this definition, it is beyond doubt that the statement “Jews have an insatiable appetite for war and killing” is anti-Semitic; replace “Jews” with any other race or ethnic group and there would be no argument about it.

"But while Google offers a clear definition online of anti-Semitism, it is much more confused about the matter among its employees. How else to explain, as Alana Goodman of the Free Beacon first reported, that Kamau Bobb, Google’s head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, continues to be employed at the company after saying in a 2007 blog post that Jews have an “insatiable appetite for war” and an “insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.” . . .

. . . "In the wake of George Floyd’s killing in 2020, Google issued a lengthy statement outlining its commitments to racial equity in hiring and promotion as well as the money and support it had promised to the Black Lives Matter movement. Yet Google has said nothing about the recent spike in anti-Semitic violence, including brutal beatings of Jews on the streets of American cities, despite the fact that Jews are the targets of hate crimes in the U.S. far more frequently than other racial or religious groups." . . .


Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris's very weird day

And now that Biden is almost certainly suffering from dementia, his tenuous grasp on normalcy is diminishing even more.  Having reached an agreement with the Senate about the infrastructure, Biden gave a brief press conference.  That led to a viral video of super–Biden weirdness. 

 Andrea Widburg  . . . "America will lose...again.  But something else happened today, which is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris proved that their biggest campaign lie might have been their promise to return the White House to "normal."

"I never accepted the premise that Donald Trump was not a normal president.  If you know even a little bit about presidential history, Donald Trump was a whole lot better than many of them.  Franklin Roosevelt had affairs, John F. Kennedy had orgies, Bill Clinton had...well, I don't even want to go there.  If Obama had peccadilloes, the media covered for him, but what's certain is that even the media couldn't cover for how corrupt his administration was, culminating in the Russia Hoax.

"What was really abnormal about Donald Trump's presidency was the Democrat party's behavior, especially in the form of its media coverage." . . . 

'White Rage' Is All the Rage as CNN Host Shows the Memo Has Gone Out –

 At what point did it become acceptable to demonize people based on race? Isn’t that what we’re supposed to be fighting against?

RedState  . . . "This is our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs saying this and that should concern us all. Because there’s a demonizing going on here, not just on the basis of politics, but race as well. And it’s disturbing that there’s clearly an effort to insert both race and politics into the military in a way that could be very harmful and hurt our readiness to deal with military threats.

"But this isn’t just Milley pushing this term. It’s a term that suddenly seems to be taking off in usage in liberal media, in part, as I said, to put a further demonization on those who rioted at the Capitol but to also attack in general people on the right.

"Listen as CNN’s Brianna Keilar tries to get Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) to affirm the term, asking wouldn’t he call what happened at the Capitol “white rage?”



Whose Turn Is It To Watch Joe Today?

 IOTW Report


The Most Bizarre Moment of Biden's Infrastructure Deal Announcement Was One You Probably Didn't See  . . . "In one of the more bizarre moments, Biden actually whispered an answer into his microphone at one point, which sounded like something straight out of a creepy horror movie. In another, Vice President Kamala Harris actually had to remind Biden to mention the horrific Florida beachfront condo building collapse tragedy where one person has been confirmed dead and close to 100 remain unaccounted for. Oddly, Biden let out an inappropriate giggle as he was reminded.

"But it was before the official presser got underway when something perhaps even more bizarre happened just outside the White House."

No Joke: Joy Behar Reveals Hidden Truth of Leftist Bigotry

 The Epoch Times  "I never watch “The View”—life is too short—except when it is thrust upon me by a supposedly controversial clip on cable news.

"One of those occasions arose the other day when their old standby Joy Behar made what she later called an “inappropriate” joke about Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib, who had just become the first active player in NFL history to come out as gay.

"The liberal women on the show chortled away at the alleged witticism only to be caught up short by Meghan McCain—the woman carefully chosen for the “conservative” slot on the program—who registered extreme disapproval. The usual leftwing suspects rushed to downplay the incident, but nevertheless, it went viral.

"If you haven’t yet heard the joke, played endlessly elsewhere, I’ll be discreet and leave it to this link. (Warning: It’s not a very good one. Richard Pryor and Joan Rivers are dead.)

"But this is not about Ms. Behar—one of those mediocrities who for mysterious reasons ends up making millions on television.

Behar by Donkey Hotey
"Something more important is being revealed by this, to use the colloquial term, “Freudian slip.” (Actually, this kind of “accidental” revelation way predates Freud and is really just common sense. Aristophanes was no doubt aware of such things and probably many before him.)

"Behind the joke, and the immediate positive response from the loyal liberal ladies on hand, is something I have observed, and have been yearning to say, for some time:

"The left is considerably more bigoted than the right in matters of both race and sex." . . .

In an effort to harm Tucker Carlson, NY Times columnist breaks journalistic ethics rule, outs confidential source

 Thomas Lifson

The one offender Smith does name is Brian Stelter, the host of CNN's "Reliable Sources" (and Times alumnus) who routinely casts himself as the conscience of journalism, who told him "you can see Tucker's fingerprints all over" his anti-Fox book, "Hoax." 

Ben Smith

"Tucker Carlson is the left's "current Bogeyman No. 2, after Donald Trump," observes J. Peder Zane in a commentary at Real Clear Politics, and I think he is right.  Night after night, Carlson goes in depth uncovering hypocrisies, lies, and outrages being perpetrated by the powerful and connected elites that run the country and its media.  So, as with Trump, powerful members of the media are willing to break the old rules of journalism to take him down.

"The object of Zane's critique is Ben Smith, formerly the editor of BuzzFeed and now a columnist for the New York Times.

The New York Times has decided it is fine to out a confidential source — provided his name is Tucker Carlson. Its media columnist, Ben Smith, reports that the Fox News star is "the go-to guy for sometimes-unflattering stories about Donald J. Trump and for coverage of the internal politics of Fox News (not to mention stories about Mr. Carlson himself)."

Breaking a cardinal rule of journalistic ethics, Smith identifies Carlson as one of his own "off-the-record" sources. So, too, did "16 other journalists ... [who] told me on background that he has been, as three of them put it, 'a great source.'" . . .More...

If America Is Racist, Why Have Millions of Blacks Emigrated Here?

  Dennis Prager

"America is the least racist multiethnic, multiracial country in world history. Any African who seeks to improve his life has a better chance of doing so in America than anywhere else."

"If America is systemically racist, why have millions of blacks from Africa and the Caribbean come to this country over the past 50 years? Why would they and many millions more want to move from all-black societies to a white-dominated, racist one?1

"This is a question every black and white leftist should be asked. After all, no Jews moved to Germany in the 1930s. And why didn’t any? After all, many Jews were suffering terrible persecution and poverty in Russia and in Eastern Europe. Why didn’t any of them move to Germany after 1933?

"We all know the answer: Because Germany was systemically anti-Semitic.'

"Even leftists know that answer.

"So, one can only conclude that, in the view of America’s leftists, non-German Jews of the 1930s had the wisdom not to move to Germany, but present-day non-American blacks have no wisdom. In the view of America’s leftists, then, the millions of blacks who have moved here and the many millions who want to move here must be fools.

"How else could leftists regard blacks who willingly move to America? Any black person who decides to leave a black country for America—a place the left claims was founded by racists to perpetuate racism, built and sustained by racism, to this day composed largely of whites, every one of whom is racist and many of whom are white supremacists, and therefore remains systemically racist—must be either be a fool, an ignoramus or both." . . .

Tucker Carlson, Buckhead, and Why Our Cities Fail |

Somewhere along the line, the urban Democrat machine politicians realized that running cities badly enough would chase off the middle class and leave them with a thin crust of wealthy people over a large mass of the poor.

   The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "If you attempt to watch the YouTube version of Tucker Carlson’s report on what’s going on in Atlanta from Monday night, you’ll find yourself wading through warnings that “the following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.”

"There is nothing pornographic in Carlson’s report. Nor is there foul language.

"What’s “inappropriate” or “offensive” in it is the truth about the people who run Atlanta, truth that everyone knows and understands. It’s the fact someone might speak the truth in a video appearing on YouTube that is offensive to the “YouTube community.”

"The funny thing is, Carlson isn’t telling the half of it.

"The subject of the Monday segment is the effort by the residents of Buckhead, which is a formerly nice area in the northwestern part of Atlanta that is home to around 80,000 mostly well-off and mostly white people, to create their own city. Atlanta’s criminal element has turned Buckhead into a war zone in recent years and particularly since the fiasco involving the drunken criminal Rayshard Brooks, who was shot by police last year. As a result, the citizens there have decided they want their own police force to keep the place safe; Atlanta’s police department, which is being depopulated, if not defunded, thanks to widespread retirements and resignations in the wake of the Brooks fiasco, is no longer capable of providing that kind of public safety.

"Carlson’s report talks with a rather matter-of-fact tone about efforts to pass legislation at the Georgia capitol enabling the birth of Buckhead. Why wouldn’t Buckhead’s residents attempt to form their own city? After all, upscale, law-abiding homeowners in nice areas like Buckhead are more or less members of an oppressed minority in Atlanta these days, particularly when a city like that one is governed by an “incompetent demagogue” (Carlson’s words) like Keisha Bottoms." . . .

‘Pride’ Night at the Old Ballpark

  American Thinker


. . . "What’s troubling is how the culture is saturated with a decades-old adolescent preoccupation with sexuality -- and today, bizarre sexuality at that.  It’s as if American society -- Western civilization, actually -- decided to take an extended holiday from reality.  Isn’t evading reality an aspect of derangement? 

"There are causes for our societal breakdown and insanity, but that merits other analysis.  We’re a society imperiled by intellectual and moral squalor.  That certainly began accelerating in the 1960s.  It needs to be stopped and reversed.  Politics is downstream from culture.  Righting our politics without righting the culture won’t amount to a hill of beans, longer term.

"Fair being fair, shouldn’t the suits who run the MLB add a “traditional families” night at their ballparks?  Might the Phillies celebrate the rich traditional family life that’s the bedrock of stable, healthy, thriving societies?  Maybe it’s high time we start demanding a night recognizing what’s foundational to America?  Or maybe we just skip buying tickets, hotdogs, and beer."   

Hours after his extradition to US was approved, John McAfee found dead in his Spanish jail cell - American Thinker

 Thomas Lifson  'Move over, Jeffrey Epstein.  Another high-profile prisoner has been found dead in his jail cell before his trial, with authorities claiming suicide.  John McAfee, who wrote the first commercial anti-virus software, sold the company bearing his name, and later urged customers to uninstall the software, was widely described as "eccentric."  He lived for a while in Belize but left that country in 2013 after being wanted for questioning by police over a murder.  He made and lost most of a fortune believed to have totaled $100 million.  McAfee was arrested in October last year at Barcelona Airport at the request of U.S. authorities over alleged income tax evasion and was being held in a prison in Barcelona, awaiting extradition, which had just been approved when he was found dead." . . .

Gas Prices Then And Now – Grrr Graphics

"If you took a road trip over the holiday weekend, you were sure to notice the price of gas has shot up compared to last year.

"You can thank Fake President Joe Biden for that.

"Under the Trump administration, America was energy independent for the first time in decades.

"Under the Biden administration, the Keystone pipe line was halted and close to 52,000 people lost their jobs.

"In March, Biden imported oil from Iran, the first time since 1991. The Democrats would rather import oil from a terrorist regime than have Americans produce the same product." . . .e went from “America First” to “China First”.

"Gas prices will continue to skyrocket over the summer thanks to Biden. There will be gas shortages also.
