The actual coup began in 2016 and has continued ever since

For a long time, the media have gone from informing the public to indoctrinating the public. They are willing to pretend lies are the truth and bury truthful stories in their efforts to infect the public with radical leftist policies. They are willing to do whatever it takes to remake and destroy America. That makes them enemies of the American people, doesn't it?

 American Thinker  "Starting in 2016, the Obama-Biden Executive Branch, the Judicial Branch, and the Democrats in the Legislative Branch set out to defeat Donald Trump before the election, and when that didn't work, they made endless attempts to get rid of the duly elected president after the election. 

"It all centered on the Big Lie that Trump colluded with Russia.  The public was told continually that Trump was a Russian agent or spy or whatever name they decided to use at the time. 

"The politicized Justice Department used the obviously fictitious Russian dossier when they lied repeatedly to the FISA court to get multiple warrants to spy on people in the Trump team.  The FBI officials who perpetrated a fraud on the FISA court still roam free because they are special.  They are above the law." .  . .

. . ."Democrats don't want a federal takeover of elections because they care about minorities, voter rights, or voter suppression.  They only care about power and winning.  They will do anything to destroy people who get in their way.

"For a long time, the media have gone from informing the public to indoctrinating the public.  They are willing to pretend lies are the truth and bury truthful stories in their efforts to infect the public with radical leftist policies.  They are willing to do whatever it takes to remake and destroy America.  That makes them enemies of the American people, doesn't it?" . . .

That’s the reason [Jordan] and Banks are not on [the January 6] committee right now. They would have some pretty tough questions for her — how we managed to have such lax security knowing there was probably going to be some people in D.C. that day. There are a lot of unanswered questions.”. . .

8 Times Left-Wing Protesters Assaulted Government Buildings (thefederalist.com)

 The Federalist

Left-wing demonstrators have long made a habit of attacking, infiltrating, and occupying government buildings.

"Self-absorbed congressional Democrats held a group therapy session on Capitol Hill on Thursday as they work tirelessly to immortalize Jan. 6 as an annual day of doom, but the rest of us are old enough to remember a few more times when riots and protests overwhelmed government buildings with no such theatrical response.

"More than a few times, actually. The 2020 summer of rage was more or less “incited” by these same top Democrats, who race-baited as if their lives depended on it, and even our vice president, who helped bail violent rioters out of jail. It featured a number of these attacks on the government (which strangely weren’t called attacks on democracy at the time).

"Not all of these demonstrations were allegedly a response to the Minnesota death of George Floyd, however. Left-wing Minnesota death of George Floyd, however. Left-wing demonstrators have long made a habit of attacking, infiltrating, and occupying government buildings. It started long before Jan. 6, 2021, and continued long after." . . .

Joy Reid To Lose MSNBC Show In The Spring: Report

 Conservative Brief

"Arguably one of the most radical liberals in the mainstream media could be on her way out.

"MSNBC host Joy Reid may no longer have a show on the network this spring following a round of reshuffling.

"News Cycle Media’s Jon Nicosia reported on Twitter that a Comcast source said “Joy Reid will lose her 7p show in the next round of reshuffling at MSNBC.”

"“Source @ Comcast: ‘Joy Reid will lose her 7p show in the next round of reshuffling at MSNBC.’ – ‘She does not have a show come mid Spring’ – The “decision has been made, the only thing left is messaging on the move, which will be ratings,” Nicosia tweeted." . . .

Statue of Iranian Terror Chief Qasem Soleimani Torched Hours After Being Unveiled

 

Iran vows revenge for Soleimani killing if Trump not put on trial - Iran - Haaretz.com

Statue of Iranian Qasem Soleimani Torched Hours After Being Unveiled (breitbart.com)   "Iran’s effort to deify terrorist mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani on the second anniversary of his death in a U.S. airstrike hit a snag Thursday when a statue of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander was set on fire by persons unknown within hours of its unveiling in the southwestern city of Shahrekord.

"The statue, which portrayed Soleimani as a towering, visionary leader, was set ablaze on the evening of the same day it was revealed to the public." . . .

. . ."Despite Iran’s frequent claims to the contrary, Soleimani’s status as a legitimate military target has never been seriously disputed. Iraqi Shiite militia coordinated by the IRGC general launched several rocket attacks on bases housing U.S. personnel in the weeks before his death. One of those attacks killed a civilian U.S. military contractor.

"Before that, Soleimani was responsible for organizing attacks that killed hundreds of Americans deployed to Iraq." . . .

Iranians Set Fire to Soleimani’s Statue Hours After Unveiling (legalinsurrection.com)

By setting the statue on fire, the Iranian dissidents have shown better moral judgement than the U.S. mainstream media and leading Democrats, who vehemently attacked President Trump for killing the terrorist operative who had the blood of American soldiers on his hands.

Jan. 6: Seven Democrat Lies: The most transparent falsehoods peddled by the Democrats and media Thursday.

 The American Spectator   "It was hardly a surprise that the Democrats shamelessly exploited the first anniversary of last January’s Capitol riot to resuscitate their stalled political agenda. Nor was it difficult to predict that various news outlets would attempt to bolster their sagging ratings with sensationalized coverage of the mayhem that occurred that afternoon. Nonetheless, the mendacity that permeated the speeches of the politicians and the coverage of the media was truly startling even by Beltway standards. It is impossible to debunk every lie that was told yesterday in a single article, but here are the most egregious falsehoods:" . . .

How's this for a sample? 

Lie # 2: President Donald Trump purposely incited the alleged insurrection.  Biden also leveled this preposterous charge at his predecessor during his Thursday morning remarks, saying the former president had “rallied the mob to attack.” In reality, Trump explicitly told his supporters at his Jan. 6 rally to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” These are not the words of a man attempting to incite a riot or overthrow the government. Yet this inconvenient fact did not stop NBC from printing the following on its news site: “President Donald Trump incited a mob to storm the Capitol.” Nor did it prevent Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from telling Fox News, “The president incited the mob.” . . .

"Democrats’ ‘Misleading’ Jan. 6 Narrative ‘More Detrimental to Our Republic than the Day Itself’"

He then accused the “illegitimate” House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots of neglecting its very purpose while politicizing the event. 

“Thus far, the illegitimate Committee created by Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Democrats to ostensibly investigate the events of January 6, has done nothing but attack President Trump and his supporters,” he said.

Claiming a “serious and legitimate inquiry” would have released the many hours of security footage from within the Capitol complex to reveal what actually occurred, Biggs suggested a professional committee would consider the following: 

Joe Biden's most disgusting, dishonest speech

At the end, he vows to "defend the nation" -- revolting words from a man who refuses to defend America's border, and who presented us with the biggest, most humiliating American defeat of all time in Afghanistan.

Monica Showalter  "If you like dishonesty, and dollop after dollop of general disgustingness, Joe Biden had the speech for you.

"Here he was for his big Jan. 6 moment in front of Congress, denouncing his predecessor, President Trump, defending voter fraud, demanding more of it, and calling it 'democracy.'  His speech was ultimately an argument for his own right to power, by fair means or foul. Andrea Widburg has an excellent piece describing the Academy Awards quality of the whole wretched specter here."

. . ."One, he clearly hired a political consultant to profile which words would upset President Trump most, because he wanted to stick the knife in himself. "Failure," "didn't win," "lost," all spoken with shouting-level emphasis, figured prominently, just as any good political profiler might recommend. Those words were chosen carefully. Well, now we know what his real aim was in that speech: to annoy President Trump and insult his voters, not 'defend democracy' as he tried to market to the public. When have we ever had a president of this kind of crumminess? File under 'disgusting.'". . .

. . ."This is angry Joe Biden in all his ugliness, a bitter, small, failed president, who retains a rat's ambition to rise from his mouse-itude. President Trump, in his reply to the dotard, called it right in that he said Joe Biden's speech was a distraction from his own failed presidency. Biden's lies, plagiarisms, gaslights, and undisguised interest in maintaining his own personal power are operative here. It's all Joe amounts to. It's disgusting as hell."

The Democrats’ desperate Jan. 6 spin: Goodwin

 

NY Post

"President Biden is a drowning man who proved Thursday that he will
 grab hold of anything that remotely resembles a life raft."

"What do you call people who have a good case to make but then stretch the truth until it breaks?

Democrats — very desperate Democrats. 

"Joe Biden is a drowning man who proved Thursday that he will grab hold of anything that remotely resembles a life raft. His attempt to use last Jan. 6 as a savior for his misbegotten presidency reveals more about his party’s predicament than it does about the unsettling events a year ago.

"After making several valid points about former President Donald Trump’s continuing refusal to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, Biden promptly undercut his own argument by going too far. Sounding like a late-night TV pitchman selling cheap garden hoses with the promise of two for the price of one, he began promoting his party’s bid to override state laws to federalize elections as the only logical response.

"Rahm Emanuel famously urged Dems to never let a crisis go to waste, but they apparently never heard the warning by Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry that “a man has to know his limitations.” 

Absurd comparison

"When it comes to weaponizing Jan. 6 for partisan purposes, Dems don’t know any limitations. Indeed, sometimes it was hard to tell on Thursday if they were commemorating a tragedy or celebrating an opportunity.

"The most glaring example of overreach came when the White House equated the storming of the Capitol with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, a mistake that should live in political infamy. By that token, any and all who entered the Capitol, even those who acted like awed tourists, are as wicked as Osama bin Laden and Japanese militarists of 80 years ago. 

"That the job of making the ludicrous comparison was given to Kamala Harris, the hapless vice president, only added to the absurdity. She probably had to stifle a cackle when handed the script." . . .

“Preserve the Narrative”: The Public Rejects the “Insurrection” Claim in New Polling

The media, however, has become less and less relevant to public opinion. Despite the censorship of social media companies and the support of a legion of willing academics and experts, the coverage is largely self-contained. Most networks and newspapers have effectively written off half of the country. . .

 “Preserve the Narrative”: The Public Rejects the “Insurrection” Claim in New Polling – JONATHAN TURLEY   "In the day long events

Turley

commemorating January 6th, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a telling statement to her fellow members and the public at large. Pelosi declared “It is essential that we preserve the narrative of January 6th.” Part of that narrative is that this was not a riot but an “insurrection,” an actual “rebellion” against our country. Pelosi’s concern over the viability of that narrative is well-based as shown by a recent CBS News poll. The majority of the public does not believe that this was an “insurrection” despite the mantra-like repetition of members of Congress and the media. The public saw that terrible day unfold a year ago and saw it for what it was: a protest that became a riot. (For full disclosure, I previously worked as a legal analyst for CBS News).

 "Not surprisingly, the poll received little comparative coverage on a day when reporters and commentators spoke of “the insurrection” as an undeniable fact. Yet, when CBS asked Americans, they received an answer that likely did not please many. Indeed, CBS did not highlight the answer to the question of whether the day was really a “protest that went too far.”   The answer was overwhelming and nonpartisan.  Some 76% believe that this was a protest that went too far.

""That, however, was not one of the four options to the matinee question featured by CBS. It did not allow the public to call this a riot when it asked them to describe “What happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021?” Why? There was the ever present “insurrection” and “trying to overthrow government.” However, the other two options were “patriotism” or “defending freedom.” That is perfectly bizarre. The most obvious alternatives to an actual rebellion in a violent clash would be a protest or a riot. However, the public was simply not given those options." . . .

MSNBC’s Joy Reid Says Conservatives Are ‘A Party Of Selfish People Who Cannot Play Well With Others’

In a stunning lack of self-awareness, MSNBC host Joy Reid and her guests on Monday night suggested that “white, so-called Christian conservatives” are “selfish” people.

“They’re white, so-called Christian conservatives who feel like this country was built by them, for them. Their party, the Republicans,” is merely “a party of selfish people who cannot play well with others,” said Reid in her opening monologue. “They even have their own cable networks.”

She then compared Christian conservatives to a classic “Star Trek” character named Charlie, whom she described as an “annoying alien incel who destroys everything around him when he doesn’t get his way.”

"Reid claimed that white, Christian conservatives wrongly believe the country is being taken away from them. “A certain percentage of Americans feel like the country used to focus on them and fixate on them, and they were the main character. And now that they feel that they’re not the main character, and they don’t always win, and they don’t get to do what they want, and they don’t get to have their way, it’s all an outrage. It’s all a crime. Everything must be overturned. so it goes back to the way they thought it should be,” she said in a stream-of-consciousness." . . .

Something else Reid might not have been truthful about is a more recent allegation about her creating a toxic workplace.

What’s more, on top of cratering ratings, over the last three years, Reid has been an ongoing embarrassment for MSNBC. It’s bad enough she’s mean-spirited, a racial arsonist, and an ignorant bigot, but she also happens to be an idiot.

How ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Became a Swipe at Joe Biden—And National Media

"Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/SocialJusticeInAction."

 American Greatness (amgreatness.com)  "The “Let’s Go Brandon” message on the Hoods Up Quick Lube sign was up for four days, but it was long enough for the owners to make their point.

"Ever since October 3, when an NBC reporter interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown mistook a vulgar chant from the crowd—”F— Joe Biden”—as “Let’s Go Brandon,” the phrase has gone viral. Within days, people across the country were sharing their displeasure with the president by putting up homemade “Let’s Go Brandon” signs along roadways. They’ve been chanting the message at high school football games, wearing it on the backs of T-shirts, and displaying it on digital signs at construction sites where they work. A rapper performing a “Let’s Go Brandon” tune on TikTok has shot to the top of the iTunes charts. Recently, a Southwest Airlines pilot was allegedly captured on video saying “Let’s Go Brandon” over the flight’s intercom, leading to an internal investigation.

" 'Bill Bretz, chair of the Westmoreland County Republican Party, said he posted a photo of the Hoods Up Quick Lube sign on his party’s Facebook page last Thursday and it quickly caught on.

“ 'We had over 8,000 people view it within 24 hours,” Bretz said. “The interesting thing about this phrase is that it has caught fire not because a political party tried to make it happen, but because people without any direction made it happen organically.”

"Like most pure movements in American political history, this one is not organized. It is spontaneous, somewhat hilarious, but it also gives people who too often feel as though they are at the wrong end of the joke on social media and in the press the ability to be part of something bigger than themselves." . . .
