Tucker: Corrupt mainstream media takes lying to Olympic levels

The absolute lowest level for a "professional journalist" that must have ever been reached; the Walter Duranty level! "That hillarious part around 5:13 about "Joe Biden's arms embracing America' "

J’Accuse! America’s Dreyfus Affair unfolds in Minneapolis

Bookworm

What happened to Derek Chauvin has disturbing parallels to France’s famed Dreyfus affair 127 years ago.

. . . "In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was convicted of treason – despite it being obvious that he was not guilty but was being railroaded. Four years later, once the facts were fully known, Émile Zola, the famed novelist, famously wrote an open letter under the headline “J’Accuse,” accusing the French military of a deliberate cover-up. I can’t help but see parallels to that in Derek Chauvin’s railroading in a Minneapolis courtroom.

"As French Jews discovered when the Nazis invaded, while many French people disliked the Nazis, they disliked the Jews even more. From the collaborating Vichy government on down, a disgraceful number were happy to connive with the Nazis to get rid of the Jews in their communities. The Jews should have expected this because they had a foretaste of French antisemitism in 1894 with the infamous Dreyfus affair.

"The bare bones of the story are that Alfred Dreyfus was born into an affluent and assimilated Jewish family. He attended the famed École Polytechnique and, after graduating, joined the military. He achieved the rank of captain and ended up serving in the War Ministry.

"In 1894, Dreyfus found himself accused of selling military secrets to the German military attaché. He was arrested in mid-October and, by mid-December, he’d been convicted and given a life sentence. Four months later, he was off to the heinous penal colony on Devil’s Island, in the waters off French Guiana, which had a mortality rate that reached 75%.

"Dreyfus’s conviction and imprisonment might not even have made the local papers were it not for the fact that the entire case was driven by virulent anti-Semitism, which was the Critical Race Theory of its day. It was obvious to all involved in the case that the evidence introduced against him was always weak and often implausible. Even the meanest intelligence could see that he was being railroaded because he was Jewish. Britannica sums it up thusly:

Although he denied his guilt and although his family consistently supported his plea of innocence, public opinion and the French press as a whole, led by its virulently anti-Semitic faction, welcomed the verdict and the sentence. In particular, the newspaper La Libre Parole, edited by Édouard Drumont, used Dreyfus to symbolize the supposed". . .  disloyalty of French Jews.

MSNBC Agrees With Radical Race-Baiter: GOP Wants ‘American Apartheid’

 

Image by Hardstark & Pincay


"In wake of President Biden huddling, on Thursday, with radical left-wing activists who pretend to be “civil rights leaders,” MSNBC on Friday touted National Urban League President Marc Morial coming out after that meeting and hurling the vile accusation that Republican-sponsored voting reforms and the U.S. Supreme Court were conspiring to create “American apartheid.” Rather than fact-check such a horrendous lie, the partisan cable channel endorsed the disgusting rhetoric instead.

“Civil rights leaders gathering with President Biden....We know they want more action on federal voting rights,” anchor Chris Jansing announced while filling in for Stephanie Ruhle in the 9:00 a.m. ET hour. She eagerly pointed out that “all of this is happening after the Supreme Court upheld Arizona voting restrictions and the president of the Urban League, Marc Morial, talked about that after the meeting at the White House.' ”. . . 


'A Book About Whiteness': 25 public school districts use children's book that depicts 'whiteness' as evil

 The Post Millennial   " A children’s book claims having white skin is a satanic contract that gives its signers “stolen land,” “stolen riches,” and “special favors,” and a new report confirms that this book is really being used in classroom settings.

"The name of the book is called “Not My Idea: A Book about Whiteness,” and it’s message is teaching racial politics to children.

Are We Seeing a Cultural Realignment?

 If the pushback we’ve seen in the last few months continues, the left is in big trouble -- and it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of wannabe tyrants. 


American Thinker  "Recently we’ve been seeing stories in the news about average Americans pushing back against liberal initiatives.  Taken alone, these stories are entertaining, though not particularly earth-shattering.  But observed together, do they form a pattern?  Are we seeing the beginning signs of a cultural realignment?

"One recent story is that of women protesting a California spa allowing “perfectly normal women with penises” to use the female facilities.  The protesters were quick to point out that they are Democrats and support LGBTGFNB  rights.  But it turns out there is a limit to the amount of leftist baloney that even Democrats can accept.  Equity for people with gender confusion sounds compassionate in theory.  In reality, it facilitates naked men bathing with our six-year-old daughters -- which inspires a different emotion than compassion.

“ 'Perfectly normal women with penises” competing in women’s sports is all over the news too.  The left has been telling us that we need to accept each person’s perception of reality -- even if that person is somewhat gender-confused.  But “perfectly normal women with penises” competing in women’s sports has illustrated the absurd destination this path leads to.  Why don’t we go ahead and let heavyweight boxers identify as lightweights and let them beat the crap out of somebody half their size?  After a year of this nonsense, we’re beginning to see that there may be many perceptions of reality, but there is only one actual reality.  Are feminists starting to see that their movement sold them into servitude to liberalism and they’ve become the handmaidens of leftism?". . .

A Reminder of How Stupid Our Media Is

 Power Line  "News out just now that Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for attempting to extort $20 million from Nike. What’s his problem: doesn’t he understand that that kind of thing is a job for Hunter Biden? Anyway, keep in mind that Avenatti was only famous because the media made him famous—a perfect example of what Daniel Boorstin called a “pseudo-event,” or perhaps the media equivalent of a self-licking ice cream cone. Or the ultimate fake news.

"Here’s a highlight reel from the Free Beacon:"

It’s The Media, Stupid  . . . "The media will have us believe that Donald Trump is the single most divisive man in American history. Does anyone actually believe that conservatives weren’t, at the very least, equally as angry at Obama’s election as liberals were at Trump’s? Are liberals any more angry about Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch ascending to the Supreme Court than conservatives were about Kagan and Sotomayor? Of course not. But we’re told that we’re more divided than ever.". . . 

10 Ways the Media Manipulates Our Opinions    "Almost 30 years ago, Noam Chomsky, a famous intellectual, wrote about the manipulation strategies the media uses. It's been quite some time since then, and now we have things like the internet, Twitter, and Facebook, so the media has many more ways to influence us. Unfortunately, the influence is not always positive.

Squad Member Takes 'Defund the Police' to a Terrifying New Level

 PJ Media


"Even as the Joe Biden White House tries to accuse Republicans of “defunding the police,” some Democrats want to slash funding not only for cops on the beat but also for officers at the border — in the middle of a border crisis! Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s infamous “squad,” called for the effective elimination of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the entire Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“ 'We must eliminate funding for CPB [sic], ICE, and their parent organization, DHS,” Tlaib said. “Time after time, we have seen it… that these agencies are inept at humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system. Instead, they further continue to terrorize migrant communities located within our communities.”. . . 

"Tlaib further suggested that CBP, ICE, and DHS are “targeting communities of color, in a way that… very much violates human rights,” an echo of the accusation that police forces are infected with “institutional racism.”

"In calling for the “elimination of funding” to not just ICE and CBP but DHS, Tlaib demanded that the federal government effectively dismantle the agency in charge of all federal law enforcement — from border agents to DEA agents who focus on cartels to the officers who protect the federal courthouse in Portland.

"Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) suggested that Tlaib and her fellow Democrats “want to turn America into a sanctuary country for all illegal aliens from around the world.”

“ 'It would be interesting to me if Rashida Tlaib would explain exactly who she thinks should be excluded from our country when they show up at our border… or who should be deported,” Cotton mused. “Maybe her answer would be conservatives or Republicans or anyone who voted for Trump last year.”. . . 

To find those who hate this nation and her people, look no further than Democrats. We see the hate in their eyes and recognize their anger from the War Between the States and the Ku Klux Klan.

The Glorious Death of American Legacy Media, and What Comes Next

As Ace of Spades noted, Stelter is incapable of holding an audience for an hour unless he can demonize and complain about a high-profile conservative target. And without Donald Trump as a viable target, it’s clear he and his producers have decided [Tucker] Carlson is the best thing going.

 The American Spectator

The public doesn’t trust our corporate media talking heads, and almost nobody is paying attention to them anymore.


"There was, over the weekend amid a cacophony of media resistance to the formerly unifying celebration of America’s Independence Day, one of the most amateurish and ridiculous cartoons ever produced.

"It came courtesy of Communist China’s Xinhua News Agency, a propaganda shop with its rhetorical guns aimed at the American people and the ideas of our founding. The cartoon depicted a pair of white guys in suits clinking glasses together with “TO FREEDOM” in a quote bubble above their heads, and just to their right a crazed lunatic in a ski hat held a pistol in one hand and an AR-15 style rifle in the other with “OF SHOOTING” in a quote bubble above his. The mass shooter, as he’s clearly supposed to be, is standing over a gravestone upon which is written “DEATH FROM FIREARM.”

"And in the text of the tweet in which the cartoon appears, the Chinese communist apparatchiks at Xinhua said, “How a gun-happy nation spends its #FourthofJuly weekend.”

"The first obvious reaction to this is best expressed not verbally but with a middle finger at a murderous, tyrannical, psychotic regime that has literally killed more human beings than any other in the 100 years since it was birthed into the world as a revolutionary political party. But beyond that is something else, namely gleeful ridicule of the hilariously gawky and ignorant use of the English language by the Xinhua flacks attempting the cartoon."

The news media is just one more cultural institution in America that the Left — not just the liberals, who have run the news media in America almost from the very beginning, but the Left, as in the Marxists of cultural and other bents — has utterly destroyed.

Poll: Most Americans Believe Biden Not Running the Show at the White House The discussion this morning on the ClayAndBuck show had Bill O'Reilly who claimed the country was being run by the Obamas through their friends such as Ron Klain and Susan Rice.
"Americans have watched for the last six months as Biden struggles to pronounce words and form sentences. The same media that told us to be worried about Trump’s cognitive state now" cheers when Biden is able to order ice cream."

Majority Of Americans Believe That ‘Others,’ Not Biden, Are Calling The Shots In The White House: Poll – "31.7% of Democrat voters do not believe that President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office, while 58.6% believe he is directing all policy and agenda"

WestExec represented major corporations throughout the Trump years. Now it’s in the White House.   . . . " The pipeline has produced a dominance of WestExec alums throughout the administration, installed in senior roles as influential as director of national intelligence and secretary of state. WestExec clients, meanwhile, have controversial interests in tech and defense that intersect with the policies their former consultants are now in a position to set and execute."  Via Doane Barile

"Who the Hell Is in Charge?" asks Kurt Schlichter  . . . "Over in Europe, America is giving the farm away to Putin, who used to be the worst guy ever but now gets the thumbs-up for a big gas pipeline to Germany. Oh, and Ukraine’s lethal aid to defend itself from Russia is held up – wait, didn’t we impeach someone for not giving Ukrainians aid? And in Geneva, someone is negotiating with the mullahs, by which I mean begging them to enter into an agreement where they pretend to not be making the Bomb anymore." . . .

The Summer of Joe...The Cheater in Chief wants you to be appreciative of his generosity. "Of course the First Son appreciates the savings on crack pipes and hookers.  

"Mark Zuckerberg, the richest android on earth, made people cringe with his hydrofoil, flag-waving PR stunt on the Fourth of July. Did Zuck miss the New York Times story that claimed the United States flag is divisive?  We all know Zuck would be more comfortable waving the Chinese flag.

"The UFO report was released and it was a big nothing burger. If an alien space craft was towing a “TRUMP WON” banner we are sure the leftists would have would have lost their minds.

"Billy Cosby was released from prison. After all, the feminists had no concrete evidence against the manjust a me too pile on. Maybe Weinstein will be sprung next." . . .

The Left’s Critical Race Theory Is Ruining U.S. Public Education

Issues & Insights  "A radical teachers’ union has a message for parents: We control your children, not you. And it means to prove it by shoving Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) down your kids’ throats, part of the union’s ongoing effort to “fundamentally change” America. If you want the best for your children’s education, you’ll say “hell, no!” to this pernicious, anti-American ideology.

"Unfortunately, many centrist and conservative parents have looked the other way as our nation’s once-superior public schools have been taken over by leftist unions and their “educator” allies, using race-based Marxist CRT as their tool. It’s a pity.

"Just last weekend, the 3-million-strong National Education Association, the largest labor union in America, stated its outright opposition to parents’ groups and state legislatures seeking to end CRT’s baleful influence on a whole generation of school kids.

"Doubling down, the NEA announced not just its support for CRT, but also said it would encourage teachers to hold a “national day of action” each year on martyr George Floyd’s birthday to “teach lessons about structural racism and oppression.”

"No parents needed. In fact, teachers are actively opposing parents who don’t like what they’re doing. The NEA last week, for instance, also voted to “research” (that is, spy on and politically attack) groups that oppose CRT in our nation’s schools.

“NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators,” the union threatened." . . .

“When School Children Start Paying Union Dues . . ”
  
“. . . That’s when I’ll start representing children.” Al Shanker, President, American Federation of Teachers.  The quote has been a model of teacher union goals since the 1960’s.
