Are You Thankful for America? Then Fight for Her

"See? Your life and the lives of your children are just necessary casualties in pursuit of progressive ideologies that protect criminals and leave law-abiding citizens vulnerable."

"With Democrats in control of Congress and the White House, aided and abetted by a relentlessly partisan (and deceitful) media, the left is on the march. They're going to usher in a new order, by hook or by crook. They are dismantling the foundation of this country as fast as they can, and what's going to be left once they're done "building back better" is going to be devoid of decency, much less anything else of value.

The left favors poverty over prosperity, incompetence over skill, ignorance over experience, theft over commerce, arsonists over property owners, predators over children and criminals over law-abiding citizens. This isn't hyperbole; look at their policies, the people they put in positions of power, those they praise and those they prosecute.

"By contrast, the numbskulls in the Biden administration constrict oil production, send prices of gas and consumer goods soaring and then blame it on OPEC and the oil companies. President Joe Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate is causing walkouts among pilots, hospital personnel, police forces and truckers, at a time when we need all these workers badly. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg takes paternity leave in the middle of a supply chain crisis. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughs when asked what the Biden administration is doing about oil prices and admits she has no idea how much oil the country uses daily. Vice President Kamala Harris' evident lack of ability has become the stuff of daily meme mockery, but she outdid herself with her recent "explanation" of inflation. ("Prices ... have gone up.")" . . .

Criminal justice "reform" by Democrats

 

‘Experts’ Want You to Stop Using the Word ‘Looting’ to Describe Robberies in San Francisco  This writer agrees.  . . ." Looting in the penal code: “theft or burglary…during a ‘state of emergency’, ‘local emergency’, or ‘evacuation order’ resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, riot or other natural or manmade disaster.”

"Also, if you watch the videos, you can tell these people coordinated the robberies. I don’t think this is looting at all. They planned out the robberies.

"HOWEVER! This has nothing to do with linguistics. The left always twists definitions to fit their narrative. For example, they are not liberal or progressive!

"This has everything to do with them making it about race because that’s their ride or die." . . .

Conrad Black: Kenosha Prosecutors Exemplify the Problem with America’s Justice System  "It is undoubtedly true that the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Friday was a victory over dishonest and overreaching prosecutors, over a largely dishonest national media, and over the same elements that produced mob rule in Kenosha in the summer of 2020. 

"The jurors, in their questions and their diligence, clearly overcame the immense media bias against Rittenhouse, and the intermittent chanting and howling by mobs outside the courthouse of often rather explicit threats against the jurors if they did not convict. The case was widely misrepresented as a trial of white-supremacist vigilantism intruding into Wisconsin from outside to aggravate the oppression of blacks in Kenosha. The jurors deduced that the defendant was invited to Kenosha by his family, had been asked to help defend an automobile dealership in the event of violence, was a legal carrier of the specific weapon that he owned, which was legally in the home of relatives in Kenosha.

"The initial portrayal of the case, including by then-candidate Joe Biden, of white supremacist violence, was exposed as defamatory fiction, and even the prosecution witnesses powerfully contributed to the perception that Rittenhouse, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, had acted in self-defense. It emerged that he was a very well motivated and presentable young man, a good kid, and in no way a troublemaker or a bigot, contrary to what was instantly claimed by most of the media, all the way up to and through the trial.

Thanksgiving cheer: Joe Biden snubs Kamala at soup kitchen dish-out

 Monica Showalter  "For most of us, the Thanksgiving holiday is a time for fellowship, gatherings, good cheer, feasting, gratitude, and charity.

"But then there's the Biden White House, where Joe and Kamala put on a public show at a soup kitchen demonstrating they can't stand each other.

"According to the New York Post:

President Biden seemed to snub Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday as they helped prepare meals at a DC soup kitchen during their first public appearance together in more than a week.

Biden made no attempt to demonstrate any fondness for his VP in front of the cameras after Harris allies slammed Biden to CNN last week for giving her tough jobs, such as handling the border crisis, and accused the West Wing of giving her less support than white members of the administration. . .

. . ." Notice that Jill is ordering Kamala around in the scenario, too, not exactly a sign of respect for Harris's office." . . .

Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears To Have Led The Very First 1/6 Attack On The U.S. Capitol

 Revolver

If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.

. . ."The story of the mystery man, Ray Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video above is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. It’s a story so strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter the entire official narrative of the “Capitol Breach” and expose yet another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called “insurrection” of January 6th."  Video

"Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.". . ."

. . ."Epps didn’t stop at simply confirming his presence at the Capitol. Epps effectively corroborated on record that he was the exact same man telling Trump supporters they needed to go inside the Capitol." . . .

Did Provocateurs Spark The January 6 Protest At The Capitol?

. . ."Tucker Carlson has turned this Revolver exposé into a documentary available on Fox Nation. Since Tucker began promoting his documentary, America’s ruling class, anticipating what would be seen, suffered exploding head-itis, metaphorically speaking. Folks like RINO Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, Liz Cheney, and Ben Sasse on the right, and Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, Ted Lieu, and David Cicilline on the left, are beside themselves. One can only imagine, then, what all those Deep-State functionaries at America’s mainstream media networks are going through." . . .

FBI agents know nothing about Ray Epps…

Darrell Brooks Jr.: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Heavy.com  "Darrell Brooks Jr. is the registered sex offender with two open cases and an extensive criminal history who is now charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the Waukesha Christmas parade rampage Wisconsin that left 60 people injured.

"The 39-year-old Brooks, a felon many times over, was identified by Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson at a press conference on November 22, 2021, as the suspect in the tragedy. Thompson said Brooks was driving the red SUV that plowed into the parade participants, a scene captured in graphic videos; he had been involved in a “domestic disturbance” not long before he is accused of driving into the holiday parade route and left that scene before police arrived. He was not being chased by officers before entering the parade route, Thompson said.

"Read the criminal complaint against Brooks here. It describes how two detectives tried to stop him to no avail.

"They said he was driving 25 miles an hour and “had no emotion on his face” as he accelerated. He could have made a right turn out of the parade route but instead began to “rapidly accelerate” into the crowd of parade participants, the complaint says. The officer believed “this was an intentional act to strike and hurt as many people as possible…He observed the vehicle appeared to be intentionally moving side to side, striking multiple people, and bodies and objects were flying from the area of the vehicle.”

"A witness told police the SUV drove in a “zig zag motion. It was like the SUV was trying to avoid vehicles, not people. There was no attempt made by the vehicle to stop, much less slow down. Another witness aid he felt it was a “direct intent to hit as many parade participants.”

"In court during Brooks’ first appearance on November 23, 2021, the district attorney of Waukesha County, Sue Opper, revealed that Brooks also had a family violence arrest in Georgia while he was out on $500 bail in the first Milwaukee County case, which accused him of shooting toward a family member’s car after an argument. In addition, he had an active warrant from Nevada for non-compliance as a registered sex offender for the past five years. Despite those things, when he was accused of trying to run a woman over at a gas station a few days before the parade tragedy, he was released on $1,000 bail." . . .

Actress Helen Mirren Branded a ‘Racist’ For Playing Israel’s Only Female Leader Golda Meir…

 Stand tall, Dame Helen! I beg you to never apologize to the demagogues. 

Weasel Zippers

Via Daily Caller:

Dame Helen Mirren has been subjected to a torrent of abuse for appearing as Israel’s only female leader in a forthcoming biopic.

Internet trolls branded the Oscar-winning actress ‘racist’ and described her as a ‘well known Zionist and Israel-worshipper’ after taking on the role of wartime prime minister Golda Meir.

The film, Golda, is set during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when Arab states attacked Israel.

Dame Helen described Meir as ‘a formidable, intransigent and powerful leader’ and said it was ‘a great challenge to portray her at the most difficult moment of her extraordinary life’.

But critics on social media described the production as ‘fascism’, ‘sick’ and ‘tasteless’.

One Twitter user, who said they were ‘Palestinian and proud’, wrote: ‘How sick making a biopic on criminal Golda Meir and yes no surprise Helen Mirren the racist is happy to portray the pure distorted version of a disgusting individual.’

Losing Confidence in the Pillars of Our Civilization 

  "Millions of citizens long ago concluded that professional sports, academia, and entertainment were no longer disinterested institutions, but far Left and deliberately hostile to Middle America.

"Yet American conservatives still adamantly supported the nation’s traditional investigatory, intelligence, and military agencies — especially when they came under budgetary or cultural attacks.

"Not so much anymore.

"For the first time in memory, conservatives now connect the FBI hierarchy with bureaucratic bloat, political bias, and even illegality.

. . ."In what appears to be a pre-taped “essay” for the show, Gyasi Ross, identified as an American Indian, lectured viewers on “the mythology of Thanksgiving,” which he believes “closely mimics the mythology of white America.” The idea of “equal exchange” between Native Americans and settlers on what some say is the first Thanksgiving is how America “wants to see itself.”

“ 'I’m still trying to find out what indigenous people received of value” from the first Thanksgiving, he said. “Instead of bringing stuffing and biscuits, those settlers brought genocide and violence.”

"Of course, he conveniently ignores the genocide and violence among the tribes before Europeans arrived on the continent, the same genocide and violence that has afflicted humans throughout their history. He also forgets to mention that the first Thanksgiving happened more than 150 years before there was an America, and there’s no acknowledgement that some Cherokees owned black slaves." . . .

Yes, Media Bias Still Matters

Full article here or at American Spectatoer

The American Spectator

Most American “journalism” is partisan propaganda for Democrats.

"Tens of millions of Americans believe Kyle Rittenhouse should have been convicted of homicide in Kenosha, just like many of the same people still believe that the riots of 2020 were “mostly peaceful” protests, or that “Russian collusion” explains how Donald Trump was elected president. They believe these things because powerful institutions of American journalism — from the New York Times and the Associated Press to CNN and the nightly broadcast news programs — want them to believe in such falsehoods.

"The late talk-radio legend Rush Limbaugh used to say that, if all he wanted to do was complain about liberal media bias, he could fill three hours a day, five days a week with nothing else. And it often seems futile to call attention to examples of liberal bias in most of what is called “journalism,” because the examples are as numerous as the stars in the sky. The media are biased about everything, and if those lying bastards at the Washington Post could find a way to sneak Democratic Party propaganda into football box scores and real-estate listings, I’m sure they would.

"Unfortunately, many conservatives have become complacent about the problem of media bias. The success of alternative outlets like Fox News Channel, Newsmax, One America News, and others (including dozens of right-leaning YouTubers and podcasters) lends credence to the belief that so-called “legacy media” are no longer important. But however much truth there is in this belief in the declining importance of Big Media, they are still quite big, and they’re now so completely in the tank for Democrats that their “news” coverage is practically a contribution-in-kind to the DNC.

Go for it, Kyle. You will save journalism from its vicious self-destructive behavior.

. . ."Second, young Kyle can now take the next step and save the media from itself.  He needs to sue and break the back of some of the most irresponsible news coverage in years.   Here is a brief summary from Kaylee McGhee:"  {Excerpt below:)

. . .A few days earlier, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed Rittenhouse fired his weapon 60 times when evidence shows he fired his rifle a total of eight times. MSNBC host Joy Reid accused Rittenhouse of driving four hours with an AR-15 when Rittenhousetestified in court that he acquired the weapon at a friend’s house once he arrived in Kenosha. . . . 

About the made-up faux crime of Kyle Rittenhouse crossing state lines  . . ."It can also be illegal to take a firearm across state lines, unless the gun is legally owned in the states involved. Rittenhouse did not take a woman of any age across state lines. Moreover, the firearm he used to defend himself was legally stored at a friend’s house in Wisconsin." . . .  

Rittenhouse Verdict Has Leftist Rioters Worried: “It fundamentally changed the culture of protest”  . . ."The 2020 antifa/BLM violent crime spree in Democrat-run cities across the nation was not just approved by but was championed by Democrat officials. . ."

"This blasé disregard for the livelihood of their minority and less-affluent constituents targeted by antifa/BLM didn’t stop with elitist shrugged shoulders and taking a knee in solidarity with the arsonists, vandals, looters, assailants, and murderers who rampaged in these cities; Democrat mayors and governors insisted that police stand down, that they let these criminals have free, destructive run of the cities, that law enforcement stand around to be assaulted by vicious street thugs throwing frozen water bottles (and worse) at them, blinding them for life with lasers, and smacking them in the head with whatever bricks they found on conveniently located, magically appearing pallets of bricks." . . .
