Your Thanksgiving Weekend Round-up! Shoplifting, Black Supremacy and Antifa

 Weeps!  . . ."I know white supremacy is real because MSNBC’s Joy Reid talks about it every day. This country is obviously chock full of white supremacists, being all white supremely and whatnot, but unless the color is off on my computer, most of the looters don’t look like white supremacists to me."

I won’t even try to make a tongue-in-cheek reference about the Waukesha black supremacist attack, ever. A domestic terrorist ran over 60+ people, killing six and injuring roughly 56 others. BLM is attempting to raise the $5 million that Darrell Brooks, the terrorist who ran over the paradegoers, needs to post bail (how he got bail at all is yet another reminder that Soros has people communists in high places everywhere).

New Study Concludes Prop 47 Caused California’s “Smash-and-Grab” Crime Wave

“By reducing penalties associated with car break-ins, shoplifting, and other property crimes—and by making it more difficult to issue felony sentences—Prop 47 de-prioritizes justice for California residents and businesses, who are now increasingly victims of vandals and thieves operating with near impunity,” writes Independent Institute Senior Fellow Lawrence J. McQuillan, in his new report, California Property Crime Surge Is Unintended Consequence of Proposition 47.

Biden’s Ultimate Plan to Thwart Religious Freedom; "It goes far beyond Obama’s contraceptive mandate."

. . .“The bishops would love to have the separation between church and state we thought we enjoyed just a few months ago, when we were free to run Catholic institutions in conformity with the demands of the Catholic faith, when the government couldn’t tell us which of our ministries are Catholic and which not, when the law protected rather than crushed conscience. The state is making itself into a church.” 

Conservative Angle  "Joe Biden’s secularism pervades the federal government. He is rooting out all the rules and regulations that his predecessor established in defense of religious freedom. Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rescinded Donald Trump’s rule protecting religious foster care and adoption agencies. Biden seeks to cut off federal funding to any such agencies that do not conform to his LGBTQ agenda.

"Xavier Becerra, Biden’s HHS Secretary, dismissed Trump’s rule as “a blanket use of religious exemptions against any person or blank checks to allow discrimination against any persons, importantly including LGBTQ+ persons in taxpayer-funded programs.”

"According to National Catholic Register, Becerra is also hatching a broad plan to wipe out the religious freedom of health-care providers — a rule that would force them to “comply with abortion and gender-transition agendas.” The publication reports that the Biden administration is working with secularist groups to formulate this new rule, which would go far beyond Barack Obama’s contraceptive mandate." . . .

In a recent legal filing, HHS acknowledged the existence of a “health-care task force of activist groups coordinated by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights that included Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Center for American Progress, the Human Rights Campaign and others,” reports National Catholic Register. “HHS was discussing with these groups how to change the rule for Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sex.”. . .

Wyoming GOP Votes to Not Recognize Liz Cheney as Republican, Calling Her Pelosi Ally

 

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Newsweek  "The Wyoming Republican Party voted on Saturday to no longer recognize Representative Liz Cheney as a member of the party.

"The vote is mostly a symbolic gesture and does not strip Cheney of any power. It passed the Wyoming GOP Central Committee by a vote of 31-29.

"Joey Correnti, chairman of the Carbon County GOP, one of the officials who pushed for the resolution to be passed, told the Casper Star-Tribune the resolution came after what he estimated were nine county Republican parties in Wyoming voting to no longer recognize Cheney as a member of the state's GOP.

. . .

"Previously mentioned in the resolution of censure, Representative Liz Cheney 'cast her vote in favor of impeachment without any quantifiable evidence of High Crimes or Misdemeanors,'" the resolution passed on Saturday said, referring to the February censure resolution. "As to date, no quantifiable and or undisputed evidence has been offered [by] Representative Liz Cheney to defend her questionable decision."

Mike Lindell Accuses Mitt Romney’s Niece Ronna McDaniel Of Trying To Sabotage His Supreme Court Case

Red Voice Media  "MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who is in the midst of building a case to take to the Supreme Court regarding the 2020 election, says that his efforts to bring forth his case is faced with some opposition from none other than the Republican National Committee – and the RNC’s chair Ronna McDaniel, a.k.a. Mitt Romney’s niece.

"We at Red Voice Media have covered the anti-GOP antics of Ronna McDaniel previously, with her still having the audacity to refer to Rep. Liz Cheney as a Republican despite Cheney seeming to go against the party and her constituents time and again.

"On November 22nd, as Lindell was speaking during a livestream about his complaint for the Supreme Court that notes the “November 2020 election was stolen”, he claimed that McDaniel was contacting state attorney general and urging them not to sign his complaint." . . .

 “Zuckerbucks” and the 2020 Election  . . ."Zuckerberg’s help to Democrats is well known when it comes to censoring their political opponents in the name of preventing “misinformation.” Less well known is the fact that he directly funded liberal groups running partisan get-out-the-vote operations. In fact, he helped those groups infiltrate election offices in key swing states by doling out large grants to crucial districts." . . .

This does ultimately come down to what a business chooses to prioritize, and last I checked, that priority is almost universally…staying in business. But Ruhle doesn’t have to worry about that. She gets paid millions of dollars to read a teleprompter on a low-rated daytime cable news show. Perhaps she should stay in that lane going forward.". . .

Acquittal Aside, The Rittenhouse Saga Shows America Is Still A Media-Run State

"The Kenosha jury’s acquittal of Rittenhouse was a severe defeat for the constellation of newspapers, TV channels, blogs, and Twitter bluechecks who are America’s self-appointed checkers of fact and setters of narrative. They came close to victory. Their power was nearly enough to send a teenager to prison for murder, even though he had done nothing wrong and there were absolutely zero factual disputes in play.

"But criminal juries are one of the only things left in America where the left’s dominance of the airwaves and institutions counts for nothing. A jury can look at the facts and decide for itself, and if they acquit, there is nothing the left can do about it." . . .

Darren J. Beattie  "

China has state run media, the Globalist American Empire has a media run state."

And yet, in flagrant disregard for facts that were obvious from day 1, the press created what was in effect an entire alternate reality for the Rittenhouse case. In this alternate reality, there were no Kenosha riots and Rittenhouse was a white supremacist spree shooter, whose victims were unarmed blacks peacefully protesting against racism.

Joe Biden Moves to Completely Screw You at the Pump

RedState

Yet, just as prices looked to be going down due to a drop in the cost of oil caused by COVID-19 hysteria (oil dropped over $10 a barrel today), Biden is making a move to get those prices headed up again.

"Just days ago, Joe Biden was insisting that his climate change provisions weren’t causing higher gas prices (see Joe Biden Goes Full Ron Burgundy in Reality-Bending Speech on Gas Prices). You see, according to the White House, canceling Keystone XL and limiting oil and gas leases in the name of fighting global warming doesn’t actually have an effect on gas prices.

"Of course, most of us realize that’s a complete lie because we understand basic economics. And while Biden may be senile, he’s cognizant enough to understand what he’s doing. When you lower the supply and make oil more expensive, you end up with higher prices at the pump. In fact, the current hike in gas prices tracks with the rise in the price of oil almost perfectly.". . .

. . ."Enter some breathless media member insisting that the president doesn’t control the price of gas. In some sense, that’s true, but Biden absolutely can make the problem better or worse. By raising the costs to drill on public leases, the president is directly influencing the cost of gasoline, and not in a good way. You will absolutely pay more at the pump if the White House raises the costs to drill in the name of fighting climate change." . . .

Biden's Kamala Harris Problem

 Katie Pavlich

Further, the far-left stranglehold on the Biden administration's policy direction is tanking President Biden's presidency. As the border continues to be overrun, Americans are noticing, and approval among independents is cratering.

"On March 15, 2020, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden vowed to choose a woman as his vice president. The pledge was made as a way to unify the warring Democratic Party, with so-called moderates and progressives at each other's throats. Heading into Election Day, Biden needed to shore up votes from his side of the political aisle to get over the finish line.

"I commit that I will, in fact, appoint a woman to be vice president," Mr. Biden said during a Democratic primary debate hosted by CNN. 

"The woman he eventually chose was Kamala Harris, the most progressive member of the U.S. Senate. She even beat out socialist Bernie Sanders for the top slot." . . .

"According to fresh USA Today polling, Harris' disapproval rate sits at a whopping 51 percent, with just 28 percent approval. With the drag on the administration, rumors are swirling on Capitol Hill. It's almost as if her dropping out of the Democratic primary before a single vote was cast could have been a warning about her qualifications and likability." . . . 

Whose Land Did Native Americans Steal Before Europeans Stole It From Them?

 Rick Moran

"We all know that history is not the left’s favorite subject. Many times, it’s just too inconvenient for their political narratives. Often, history has to be erased or submerged in order to achieve the “greater good” of creating a just and moral society.

"In truth, it’s not much better on the right, although generally, the conservative take on American history is more nuanced. Christopher Columbus was an ass — a greedy, cruel, ambitious man who didn’t let anyone stand in his way to achieving riches and power, especially native people. But he was courageous enough to cross an unknown ocean in a rickety ship and with a mutinous crew.

"Do his sins outweigh the good he’s done? Not our call. And certainly not the call of biased, cretinous leftists who don’t want to understand Columbus and only use his sins as illustrations in their little morality plays to condemn the entire “Age of Exploration.”

"American history did not begin in 1492. There have been human beings residing in North America for at least 20,000 years and probably longer. But the people who crossed the Bering Sea land bridge from Asia to North America during the last Ice Age may not have been the first humans to arrive here. Recent DNA evidence shows that there have been several different migrations to North America with Native American tribes only being the most recent.

"And that leads to the inescapable conclusion: the Native Americans who were present on the North American continent when Europeans arrived were not the same Native Americans who arrived 20,000 years ago. DNA evidence tracks the migration of one early American civilization — the Clovis people, so-called because the first tools and weapons were found in Clovis, New Mexico — and reveals that they thrived in both North and South America until about 8500 years ago." National Geographic: 

This has been a big debate for some time, that people some 13,500 years ago were making distinct tools that you can find all over the Americas, so-called Clovis Weapons. This is a new style of weaponry: finely crafted, relatively flat spear points no thicker than an envelope, which required unique skills, and therefore stand out in the record.

Something happened, a cultural change or an arrival. For a long time they were seen as the first people. Now, we’re seeing it more as the middle-age arrival in the Ice Age. . .

"Newsletter Peddlers Offended By Real Journalism Quit"

American Greatness "An 82-second movie trailer was supposedly all it took for two of the most perpetually outraged—and chronically wrong—political pundits to quit their gigs at Fox News.

“The trailer for Tucker Carlson’s special about the Jan. 6 mob at the Capitol landed online on Oct. 27, and that night Jonah Goldberg sent a text to his business partner, Stephen Hayes: ‘I’m tempted just to quit Fox over this,’” New York Times media columnist Ben Smith revealed in an unnecessarily lengthy article on November 21 to explain why the pair resigned before they were let go by the network, as a Fox executive later confirmed to the Washington Post. “‘I’m game,’ Mr. Hayes replied. ‘Totally outrageous. It will lead to violence. Not sure how we can stay.’”

"Carlson’s documentary, “Patriot Purge,” aired in three separate segments on the network’s streaming service, Fox Nation, a few days later. It’s unclear whether Goldberg or Hayes watched the film in its entirety but additional commentary—given to Smith over Zoom while “clad in athleisure,” a word intended to lend muscularity to two of the laziest commentators in the business—suggests that neither did.

"Their beef with Carlson, aside from obvious jealousy over his success and influence, is with the notion there is a domestic war on terror. Hayes told the Times it’s “not true” the Biden regime is launching a “domestic war on terror and it’s coming for half of the country.” In a follow-up post published on The Dispatch, the $6 million blog Hayes and Goldberg founded in 2019, the indolent duo continued to attack Carlson for suggesting a domestic war on terror is underway: “This is not happening. And we think it’s dangerous to pretend it is. If a person with such a platform shares such misinformation loud enough and  and long enough, there are Americans who will believe—and act upon—it.' ” . . .

Candace Cameron Bure defends representation in Hallmark movies and says the network has 'definitely' improved after being criticized for a lack of diversity

Yahoo

• Candace Cameron Bure told Insider Hallmark Channel has improved diversity its in holiday films.

• The "Fuller House" star said "it's important to represent all people."

• "The Christmas Contest" airs on the Hallmark Channel on Sunday, November 28 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

"Hallmark Channel's original movies are a staple in many households over the holidays but have faced criticism in recent years for a lack of Black leads, exclusion of the queer community, and a lack of religious diversity.

"When speaking to Insider about her new Hallmark holiday film "The Christmas Contest," Candace Cameron Bure reflected on the network's recent steps toward more inclusivity.

" 'Hallmark has definitely made changes in that direction, which we are all very, very happy to see," the "Fuller House" star told Insider.

" 'It's very important to me in all the casting that we do for the films, and it's important to represent all people and all of their journeys and their family dynamics," she continued, noting that everyone's family looks "so different."

"In 2020, Hallmark premiered its first holiday movie featuring queer characters, "The Christmas House." A sequel will air in 2021." . . .

Critical Race Theory Destroys American Justice

American Greatness

Although Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted, none of us is safe, so long as “critical race theory” and other Marxist ideas pollute our law schools, our judges’ minds, and our legal system. 

"The George Floyd riots, conveniently shut off this past summer, were as much theater as reality. They were designed to associate Donald Trump with police abuses and disorder, while painting Democrats and their notions of “racial justice” as the path forward. 

"Ordinary citizens standing up for themselves interfere with this guerilla theater indoctrination; after all, there are a lot more normal people who do not want their towns burned down than there are maniacs willing to do street violence. This is why individuals like Kyle Rittenhouse and citizen self-defense groups are dealt with so harshly by the government and the media. 

Government Did Not Protect Us Last Summer

"Consider that there were dozens of fires and beatings and a significant number of killings in Minneapolis, Kenosha, Chicago, Portland, St. Louis, and Seattle in the summer of 2020. Hardly any Antifa and BLM rioters have been brought to justice. Federal authorities have made no significant effort to roll up these groups.

"In the cities worst hit by the riots, there appears to be a semi-cooperative relationship between the rioters and prosecutors. In the Rittenhouse trial, prosecutors presented Gaige Grosskreutz as a blameless victim, even though he illegally carried a concealed gun and pointed it at Kyle Rittenhouse after chasing him down. Grosskreutz also escaped responsibility for a subsequent DUI. 

"But if Rittenhouse’s presence was provocative and illegal, why was Grosskreutz’s pursuit and brandishing a gun not a more serious crime?" . . .

The Rittenhouse prosecution is a landmark case. It is fundamentally a referendum on whether normal, middle-class Americans will be at the mercy of the Left’s violent shock troops. The prosecution is simply an expression of the “class justice” concept, as Rittenhouse was treated differently than those who initiated the violence in Kenosha and brandishing a gun not a more serious crime?". . .

Crenshaw: "I'm Not That Conspiratorial," But It's Obvious That Soros-Funded Prosecutors Are Pushing "Social Justice" Over "Justice"

Well, it did happen. Look, this happens all over the country. In my home city of Houston here, law enforcement tells me all the time that suspects can just laugh at them when they get caught. Just laugh at them, even violent offenders can just laugh at them because they know they are going to get off on some easy bail.
