Trump indicted, not Hillary, Hunter or Milley

 Don Surber

The FBI is best at covering up crimes. Consider Hillary sending state secrets while secretary of state via email to foreign governments and others who paid the troll via donations to her fake charity.

"The indictment of President Trump is hooey. Washington no more cares about national security than it cares about Poca Dot football or whether I finally am allowed by my wife to buy that Bentley.

"I don’t know about the leaders in your state, but in West Virginia they stand with the people, the president and the Constitution.

"Attorney General Patrick Morrisey tweeted, “Here we go again with another political prosecution. I think every American (including the other Presidential candidates) should speak out against having two different systems of justice. No double standards!”

"Governor Jim Justice tweeted, “The Biden Administration and the Democrats know they can’t beat President Trump and me unless they weaponize the federal government. Democrats will stop at nothing to defeat us and keep the presidency and their Senate majority. I will always stand with President Donald Trump!”

"Justice was a Democrat who supported Trump in 2016. He has switched parties and is taking on Senator Joe Manchin, D-Manchin, in next year’s Senate race. It would be nice to have both our senators put West Virginia first.

"Americans know the indictment is a set-up because those are the only crimes the FBI can solve anymore. The January 6 protest became an insurrection thanks to FBI informants and maybe even agents who egged people on.". . .

Soros-backed prosecutor continues to go easy on murderers in Oakland

 Soros-backed prosecutor continues to go easy on murderers in Oakland (msn.com)

In Oakland, Price’s policies have led to women becoming regular targets of violent criminals. Price and prosecutors like her continue to put the lives of law-abiding residents at risk in order to protect the violent criminals they should be working to keep behind bars. 

"You do not need to look hard to find proof that the criminal justice reform movement is less about creating a more just legal system and more about fighting “mass incarceration” with pro-criminal policies. You simply need to look at how “reform” prosecutors treat murderers.

"The latest example of this comes from Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, one of the many liberal prosecutors funded by Democratic megadonor and “reform” advocate George Soros. Price has previously announced that she was trying to seek non-prison punishments for gang members who shot and killed a toddler and dropped special circumstances against a convicted murderer, which removed the possibility of him serving a life sentence without parole.

VIOLENCE AGAINST TEACHERS CANNOT BE TOLERATED

"Her latest entry in pro-criminal “prosecutions” comes in the case of Sergio Morales-Jacquez, who was 17 years old when he shot and killed newlywed Rienhart Asuncion in a road rage incident. Not even two weeks later, Morales-Jacquez and two other teenagers opened fire at a party in Oakland, resulting in the deaths of two teenagers.

"That’s three murders that Morales-Jacquez directly participated in. But, because he was 17 and the criminal justice reform movement demands little to no accountability for juvenile offenders regardless of how heinous or violent their crime, Price refused to try him as an adult. Instead, she secured the now-18-year-old just a seven-year sentence in a juvenile facility, with the possibility of probation.

"Morales-Jacquez is also a person of interest in an ongoing homicide investigation, because of course he is." . . .

California Takes a Big Step Towards Legalizing Shoplifting

 "Remember when suburban and rural folks used to make special trips to the city just to do some shopping? Good times, fading fast."


PJ Media  "If California isn’t already the nation’s shoplifting leader, it soon will be if State Senator Dave Cortese’s SB 553 becomes law, according to some retailers. The bill just passed the state Senate and now moves over to the Assembly.

"Ostensibly aimed at curbing workplace violence — a nice way of saying “criminals who come in to steal stuff and create the conditions for violence” — California Retailers Association chief Rachel Michelin described the bill in harsh terms. “It says no employee can approach someone who is shoplifting. So even if someone is trained on how to deter someone from doing that, now they’re not allowed to approach someone. So, what does that mean?”

“ 'We are opening up the door to allow people to walk into stores, steal and walk out,” she said.

"Cortese, a Democrat, says that “We don’t want rank-and-file employees to be forced to place themselves in harm’s way,” something that Michelin says employers aren’t doing anyway.

"What SB 553 looks like to me is more virtue signaling, enshrined into law, that California now turns a blind eye to shoplifting. That’s certainly the way criminals will read it.

"Meanwhile, over at the San Francisco Standard, they’re all a flutter over when the new downtown Ikea will finally open. There are signs of life at the construction site, “potentially signaling the company’s commitment to opening its Market Street store this year.” The bright blue and yellow store sign is posted and lit, and there are bare shelves in place, waiting to be stocked.

"But maybe the question that San Francisco shoppers should ask isn’t when the new Ikea will open, but how long before corporate is forced to close it.

"Downtown San Francisco has some of the priciest real estate in the world but empty office buildings, rampant shoplifting, and other so-called “lifestyle crimes” have forced big-name retailers to abandon the area. A massive Whole Foods closed in April after just a year of being open, with employees having to call the police an average of 10 times every week. Two city Nordstrom locations will close this summer after the company decided not to renew their leases on Market Street and at the Westfield Mall. Saks Off Fifth is closing, as are H&M and Uniqlo. Walgreens has closed several locations around the city.

"And that’s just in San Francisco, just in the last few months." . . .

Must-see video: A climate change fanatic berates a Tesla driver

 Must-see video: A climate change fanatic berates a Tesla driver - Andrea Widberg  "When it comes to woke fanaticism, the British are right there with us. That’s why an incredibly funny video has been circulating. The driver of an idling car films a very angry woman who is berating him because she cannot understand why he hasn’t turned his car off but is, instead, sitting with it running while it spews pollutants into the air.

"Did I mention that his car is a Tesla?

"The driver apparently realized instantly that he had struck comedy gold because he very peacefully let her play out her idiocy. Once she starts talking about the poison gas emanating from his car, you realize that she is the perfect paradigm of the useful idiots on whom the leftists rely to push their agendas.". . .

We dump on CNN, but what about MSNBC?

 You can't ‘Perestroika’ CNN - American Thinker  . . .As Gorbachev learned, you can't fix communism.  It does not work.  In a short time, the next leader of CNN will learn the same thing, that you can't fix a news channel that can't stop talking about former President Trump. 

MSNBC's Joy Reid
"The network's basic problem is that no one is watching, a rather difficult challenge for the account executives selling airtime:  "494,000 average total viewers in primetime in May -- and just 113,000 viewers in the key 25-54-year-old demographic, according to Nielsen." To be fair, cable news ratings are down but nobody does it "worse" than CNN.   

"What happened to the old USSR?  It collapsed.  What will happen to CNN?  It needs a major shakeup and lots of new faces to make people forget about Jake Tapper and the rest.  

"So start with a name change.  We call it Russia today, not the USSR anymore.

"Look in the camera and apologize to viewers for the Trump/Russia hoax and the network's unwillingness to challenge that letter made public just in time to help VP Biden in the second debate.

"It's likely too late and CNN will get fewer viewers the next time they count the numbers.  It's over for CNN and we are all waiting for the funeral details. I hear that Ted Turner is unhappy with what they've done to the network he started in 1980."

MSNBC Invites Prominent Anti-Semite To Discuss Why Anti-Semites Should Be Canceled (freebeacon.com)

. . .Al Sharpton? The prominent anti-Semite? Yes. That's the one. The racist provocateur and tracksuit icon who inflamed the Crown Heights riots of August 1991, one of the worst outbursts of anti-Semitic violence in modern American history.

Sharpton delivered a eulogy for Gavin Cato, the seven-year-old whose accidental death intimated the violence that followed, during which he ranted against Jews. "Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid," he said. One funeral attendee held a sign that read, "Hitler didn't finish the job."

Weeks earlier, Sharpton had publicly defended Leonard Jeffries Jr., a professor of black studies at City College of New York who accused Jews of financing the slave trade and creating "a system of destruction for black people." Sharpton held a rally and blasted the professor's critics. "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house," he fumed.

‘Crazy Old Racist’: Joy Reid Slammed For ‘Male White Tears’ Rant About Rittenhouse, Kavanaugh | The Daily Wire   "MSNBC host Joy Reid on Tuesday leveled a rant against white people and their “tears,” complaining about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and teenager Kyle Rittenhouse.

"Essentially, the commentary, which she posted in a video to TikTok, claims white people, men and women, have power through their “tears” by virtue of being white, and therefore they “bring the waterworks” to benefit themselves when necessary. Unsurprisingly, the MSNBC host was slammed as an outright racist for the video.". . .

Media’s long con to bury Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal

 Media’s long con to bury Hunter Biden's laptop scandal (nypost.com)

"It’s the biggest con ever perpetuated by the national media.

"For all of their hysterics over “disinformation” and “collusion,” we know now that they were indisputably the most guilty of both. 

"Recent reports show how the Washington ruling class, including career intelligence officials, the media and Big Tech, plotted well in advance to suppress and discredit the fully authentic and legitimate Hunter Biden laptop story, solely for the purpose of influencing the 2020 election. 

"The greatest offense was on behalf of the news media, the constitutionally protected institution charged with holding the powerful to account.

"In 2020, they abandoned that mission to do the complete opposite. 

"Journalist Matt Taibbi laid out in meticulous detail Thursday how the influential left-wing Aspen Institute, with events attended by members of every major news publication, literally coached the media in the months leading up to the election on how to handle materials that would cast the Biden family in a negative light.

"No, not just any potential or unnamed political figure, literally the Biden family, specifically with relation to Hunter. 

"That specific event in the summer of 2020, “Hack-and-Dump Working Group,” was apparently based on a white paper authored by two of the attendees, which advised journalists to “break” precedent established by the publication of the Pentagon Papers." . . .

When did the Left go from Standing up to ‘The Man’ to becoming ‘The Man’? -

  American Thinker  "As the Urban Dictionary defines the term,

“The Man is the head of ‘the establishment’ put in place to ‘bring us down’. Though nobody has physically seen ‘the man’, he is assumed to be a male Caucasian between the ages of 25-40 and is rumored to have a substantial amount of acquired wealth, presumably acquired by exploiting those whom his ‘establishment’ is keeping down."

. . ."Trump was aware, but powerless to stop it, as the cancer had metastasized far and wide into virtually all government agencies, media, tech, finance, sports, and most of the corporate world.

"Biden let the process continue to gain steam, to the point that the current generation of The Man is brazen in their tyranny, weaponizing their government against all political opposition, from January 6 protesters and parents challenging local school boards, to even the former president and his associates.

"There is no pushback against a weaponized government as evidenced by the Durham report describing “missteps” with no punishment for those who blatantly broke the law and abused the Constitution in pursuit of power and control.

"One of the ringleaders, James Comey, in a treasonous conspiracy against the duly elected president, has “no regret” for his actions swaying public opinion before an election. So much for FBI Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. The FBI is now a Democrat superPAC.

"Remember when the left fought against J Edgar Hoover’s FBI? Now the left is that FBI, but far more tyrannical than Hoover ever dreamt of.

"Where is the opposition, namely elected Republicans? Many are Boomers themselves, now, The Man, too, happy to enjoy the money, perks, and power that their new titles offer. Their silence is acquiescence.

"The Man of the 1960s only dreamt of such power over their subjects, but the new 2020s Man has consolidated power and authority so firmly and broadly that even Trump and his MAGA movement are being squashed like insignificant bugs on America’s road to tyranny.

"Will another generation stand up to The Man or will they be cowed into submission and subservience?" . . .

Scoop: Fox News says Tucker Carlson breached his contract

Scoop: Fox News says Tucker Carlson breached his contract (axios.com)   "Fox News Wednesday notified Tucker Carlson's lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios.

"Why it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties.

"Carlson’s lawyers told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights.

  • “Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events," said Carlson's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, in a statement to Axios.
. . .

FOX News attempts to stop Tucker Carlson from continuing his new Twitter program - American Thinker   . . ."Hats off to AXIOS for breaking this story – which was picked up almost immediately by multiple outlets in the MSM and alternative media.

It’s unclear yet if what may be a looming legal battle pitting Carlson against FOX News will make it to court, to arbitration, or to a quiet settlement, hopefully allowing Carlson to proceed to express his “free speech rights” at Twitter or wherever he chooses to go, without restraint.

"A related issue is what the end of Carlson’s FOX News program will mean to the future of the channel, and to cable news – and to cable and satellite TV – as a whole. Ratings for FOX News since April 24 have declined, especially in prime time (8-11 PM ET) – although the channel continues to maintain its overall leadership in the cable news ratings over MSNBC and CNN (the latter’s ratings have totally collapsed in recent months). For example, TVNewser/Adweek, citing the ratings of Nielsen Media Research, reported (free registration required) that “Week of May 29 Basic Cable Ranker: Fox News Remains No. 1 on Cable News.” Two nights ago, as the same source reported, “Fox News Returns to No. 1 at 9 PM” and won the ratings against MSNBC and CNN in both all day and prime time.

"Numerous analysts have pointed out, as the Washington Post reported in a story replete with data on May 23, “the looming existential crisis for cable news” (available to read free with registration).  Increasingly, the trend is for consumers to “cut the cord” to conventional cable and satellite TV, preferring online streaming services including a la carte subscriptions to services like Netflix. And relying on YouTube for free video clips of their daily ideological red meat from FNC, MSNBC, or CNN without paying to watch those channels."

New Duggar Doc Uses Family Drama To Vilify Christians (thefederalist.com)

The Federalist


. . ."Innocent homeschooled children getting involved in politics pales in comparison to George Soros planting pro-crime district attorneys in American cities, but this documentary isn’t interested in real political plots and damaging infiltrations. It’s just interested in smearing any parents who agree with the Bible and want to educate their own kids, by connecting them to fringe movements with serious problems.

"This has everything to do with ideology, not genuine concern for the well-being of children. That’s why the docuseries complains about Christian institutions of higher learning, specifically Patrick Henry College. Many of its conservative graduates have become involved in American government. It’s also why “Shiny Happy People” is concerned about Christian homeschooling “debate clubs,” where kids learn to “take on any liberal or atheist argument or statement and debunk it.” 

"When the documentarians accuse homeschooling of being a political move on the part of parents, they’re right. Homeschooling is a reaction to the left’s infiltration and politicization of public schools. Homeschooled children should be feared by the left because they were not sent to neo-Marxist reeducation camps for eight hours a day every day of their childhood. This is the reason the creators of “Shiny Happy People” suggested the government should start regulating homeschooling with “universal standards” in an interview about the documentary.". .

My only regret is that so many home-school families hold themselves separate from the Church, the Body of Christ, not sharing their spiritual gifts or discipling young believers in Christ as Scripture calls us to do. TD.

Media blames 'climate change' for Canadian wildfires despite arrest of multiple arsonists -

 LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

While the mainstream media continues to point to 'climate change' as the source of the wildfires, reports show that multiple people have been arrested in connection with dozens of intentionally set fires in the country.

"Despite the arrest of multiple arsonists, the mainstream media in Canada seems intent on attributing the nation’s recent wildfires to “climate change.”

"As wildfires continue to spread across western, and now central and eastern Canada, burning forestland and homes, the mainstream media continues to imply that climate change is the main culprit, despite a growing number of reports showing that arsonists have been arrested for allegedly setting dozens of fires. 

“ 'Several arsonists have been arrested in the past weeks in different provinces for lighting forest fires,” People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier tweeted. “But the lying woke media and politicians keep repeating that global warming is the cause.” . . .

. . ." 'Despite the numerous arrests, mainstream media outlets continue to publish articles attributing the wildfires to climate change. 

“ 'Rise in extreme wildfires linked directly to emissions from oil companies in new study,” the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported 

“ 'Canadian forest fires are the latest costly climate disaster that public accounts fail to capture,” another CBC headline read 

“ 'Climate change is increasing the risks of wildfires in the country, experts say,” Global News attested 

"Despite these claims, statistics from Canadian National Fire Database reveal that wildfires across Canada have decreased in recent years, having peaked in 1989. ". . .

More Religious Groups Attending Pride Events This Year

Companies that have faced massive boycotts include Bud LightTarget, and the LA Dodgers, the latter of which was widely criticized for agreeing to host a performance by an anti-Christian drag queen group. 

 American Greatness   "Despite growing backlash against the “pride” movement in 2023, there has been a noticeable increase in allegedly religious groups showing public support for homosexuality, transgenderism, and other aspects of the LGBTQ agenda.

"According to NPR, the rise in ostensibly religious groups’ support for pride is due to a nationwide initiative called Faith for Pride, run by the far-left group Interfaith Alliance. The group consists of multiple religions and denominations, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and others.

" 'We are not going to let this happen to our LGBTQ siblings,” said Baptist minister Paul Raushenbush, president of the Interfaith Alliance. “Not on our watch. We need to organize.”

"Raushenbush also called for left-wing Christians and other progressive religions to “fight back against” legislation being passed in states across the country that are meant to crack down on the promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism, often via indoctrination in public schools. “And we need to rally religious communities and a religious voice to say ‘no.'”

“ 'Don’t feel like you have this choice between your sexuality or your gender and your religious tradition,” Raushenbush continued. “There are people out there who love you, who respect you, who will welcome you and will help you thrive.”

We have lost so much of our language, as realized when reading literature from childhood and seeing innocent words like gay", "pride" and others no longer useable in most conversations. TD

This Pride Month, it's the Revolt of the 'Normies' as Americans reject extremism (nypost.com)

But the current push on behalf of gender fluidity differs fundamentally from previous “liberation” movements, as it requires a wholesale denial of human nature itself and demands conformity to this radical view.
