POLL: Majority of Americans Believe Media Works For Democrats -

  The Lid (lidblog.com)

"A new poll finds that a majority of people now believe that the U.S. mainstream media work for the Democrat Party and that they are truly the “enemy of the people.”

"The Rasmussen poll, conducted May 16-18, 2023, from 1,002 U.S. likely voters, found very bad news for the national media.

"Some of the questions the poll asked respondents include:

• Do you trust the political news you are getting?
• Does news media coverage of politics generally tend to favor Democrats or Republicans? Or is political coverage in the news media mostly neutral and balanced?
• Do you agree or disagree with this statement: The media are “truly the enemy of the people”?

"In some of the results, 52 percent said that they don’t trust the political media, while only 30 percent said they do trust the media." . . .

Black Grievance Politics Is Destroying Civilization ›

  American Greatness

Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect.

"Arguably, the greatest indictment of leftism is its preference for the vagrant and the criminal over the law-abiding citizen and victim. In politics, there are all kinds of disagreements about the role and scope of the state, but the one thing the state must do is protect the innocent.

"Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect. Yet racial idolaters on the Left have pushed society to forgo basic expectations of public order and civilized conduct. Demanding anything more than day-to-day chaos would be cruel to “marginalized” people like deranged homeless black men on the subway.

"The Left has a warped infatuation with society’s most entitled, recalcitrant, and destructive elements. Their latest martyr is a lunatic named Jordan Neely, who was killed while threatening commuters in Manhattan on Monday morning. The man, portrayed by sympathetic media as a “Michael Jackson impersonator,” was throwing garbage at people and making vaguely threatening statements about his willingness to go to prison for life. A reasonable person would feel afraid in this situation, as passengers doubtless did. A heroic vigilante intervened and put Neely in a chokehold. Two other men helped restrain Neely, who later died. 

"Seldom is the line between civilization and savagery drawn so clearly as it was in Jordan Neely’s subway car. The Left has demonized the vigilante for his “barbaric” supposed “lynching,” but this gets it precisely backward. Barbarism on the subway is a daily occurrence; it is part of the atmosphere. Barbarism is forcing commuters to fear for their lives and property on a Monday morning. It’s what you call it when vagrants shove people to their deaths in front of moving trains, and all the state can do is shrug." . . .

Another Violent J6 Prisoner Reveals He is an Antifa Operative and Communist - And He Admitted it to FBI in Debriefing (Audio)

 The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft | 2   "On Wednesday The Gateway Pundit spoke with January 6 political prisoner Barry Ramey from his prison cell where he is now being held.  Barry told us about an Antifa activist Josiah Kenyon who admitted to being a communist and a Trump hater and told police he went to the US Capitol on January 6 hoping to see Trump supporters killed by police.

"We have published that interview today.  It is something you won’t want to miss.

1.) In March 2021 ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund dropped a bombshell on lawmakers in his opening statement during a hearing before the Senate Rules and Homeland Security committees.

"Mr. Sund testified that according to intelligence gathered by law enforcement groups, members of the Proud Boys, white supremacist groups, ANTIFA and other extremist groups were expected to participate on January 6 and that they may be inclined to become violent.

2.) According to a former FBI agent on the ground at the US Capitol, at least one busload of Antifa goons infiltrated the Trump rally as part of a false flag operation.

"Michael Waller, a senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy specializing in propaganda, political warfare, psychological warfare, and subversion, said he was at the Capitol on January 6 and witnessed:

• Plainclothes militants. Militant, aggressive men in Donald Trump and MAGA gear at a front police line at the base of the temporary presidential inaugural platform;
• Agents-provocateurs. Scattered groups of men exhorting the marchers to gather closely and tightly toward the center of the outside of the Capitol building and prevent them from leaving;
• Fake Trump protesters. A few young men wearing Trump or MAGA hats backwards and who did not fit in with the rest of the crowd in terms of their actions and demeanor, whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators; and
• Disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. A column of organized, disciplined men, wearing similar but not identical camouflage uniforms and black gear, some with helmets and GoPro cameras or wearing subdued Punisher skull patches.

"3.) Well known Antifa-Insurgence leader John Earl Sullivan was arrested in Utah after the US Capitol riots. He was caught on video posing as a Trump supporter during the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6th.

"4.) Three Antifa protesters from Michigan, including BLM trans activist Logan “Leslie” Grimes, were riding in a car with an illegal firearm on January 6.  The Antifa rioters were captured and released and did not face trial for their crimes.  At least one Trump supporter is sitting in prison today for the same crime." . . .

Could Somebody Keep Trump's Promises?

 Ann Coulter

  Since taking office and largely stopping wall construction, Biden has
canceled border wall projects paid for by Pentagon funds.

 Two of Angela's illegal alien sisters -- out of 10 siblings in the country illegally -- had already fled California for Lexington, Kentucky, because, as one of them said, there were "fewer Mexicans there." The sister raved about Kentucky, saying, "We're in a state where there's nothing but Americans," citing the clean streets, police presence and lack of gang activity.

"If there is hope for America -- and I'm doubtful -- it came at 10 a.m. Monday in Eagle Pass, Texas, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his immigration plan.

"Much of the document is strikingly similar to Donald Trump's immigration plan from waaaaay back in 2016, the only minor exceptions being that DeSantis understands what it says and fully intends to carry it out.

"QUESTION: Why is it still possible to run on all of Trump's immigration promises? If broken promises were bricks, we'd have a wall.

"On the wall, DeSantis says: "The left tries to make fun of a border wall, but walls work. Israel built a 152-mile-long fence along its border with Egypt. Once completed, illegal crossings dropped by more than 99% year-over-year." (You'd think with Jared Kushner running the country, someone would've remembered that.)

"It's also clear that DeSantis, since he actually served in the military and didn't evade the draft with a serious case of "bone spurs," knows that the words "wage WAR on the drug cartels" is not just claptrap to fool the rubes. He promises to confront drug smugglers at the border "with the use of force," and further "reserves the right to operate across the border to secure our territory from Mexican cartel activities."

"Hunter Biden's plea agreement with the Department of Justice was revealed in a filing early last week.

White House Refusing To Answer Questions About Hunter Biden’s Threatening WhatsApp Message

  Legal Insurrection  "Was Joe by the side of Hunter when Hunter threatened future retaliation if a Chinese businessman did not pay up? “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled…”

"One of the more interesting revelations from the IRS Whistleblower transcripts and documents released earlier this week was a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman, threatening unspecified future retaliation if money were not paid. The message said twice that Hunter’s father was by his side.". . .

"So was Joe there or not? If not, then why not say so? If he was there, then that would contradict his repeated denials that he was involved in Hunter’s business dealings.

"It’s not clear if this conduct was criminal. It doesn’t seem to fit the federal definitions of blackmail and extortion, but there may be other criminal statutes that would apply. Regardless of whether it was criminal, it would be consistent with Biden family influence peddling, which seems to be the family’s main occupation.

"Yet no one at the White House press briefing room wanted to answer simple questions about it. NSC Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby practically ran away from questions." . . .

"And in a sign that the mainstream corporate media protection of Biden may be cracking numerous reporters tried to get answers from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who was having none of it: . . ."

Biden Abroad: The Moral and Material Collapse of U.S. Foreign Policy

. . ."It would be hard for a Chinese or Russian strategist to come up with a record better than Biden’s to emasculate America’s military and radically reduce its global stature."

  Victor Davis Hanson› American Greatness    "The American post-Cold War order from the Ronald Reagan through George W. Bush administration is over.

"Barack Obama began its erosion with his tired lectures about the past sins of the United States.

"Obama empowered radical Islamists. He invited Russia back into the Middle East after a forty-year hiatus. He snored while Vladimir Putin swallowed large areas of Ukraine. He nonchalantly allowed ISIS almost to take over Iraq. And he authored the Libyan misadventure.

"Joe Biden has greatly amplified what Obama inaugurated. He accentuates the Obama-authored foreign policy disasters by his own family corruption.

"If the U.S. had an honest media, a disinterested Department of Justice, and a professional FBI, the Biden family would likely be facing felony bribery charges and an impeachment vote for leveraging the interests of the U.S. for a few millions of Ukrainian and Chinese cash.

"Biden has forfeited any moral credibility America once had in sermonizing to the world about the advantages of transparent democracy.

"Instead, Washington under Biden went full Third-world. His family got rich from his offices, and Joe Biden warped government agencies in efforts to take out his next possible presidential rival.

"Antony Blinken, Biden’s current Secretary of State, is known mostly for meekly accepting a dressing down from Chinese diplomats in 2021 and subsequent ritual humiliations.

"Blinken was also the author of the 2020 election shenanigan of soliciting former intelligence authorities to publish a preposterous lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop had all the “hallmarks” of “Russian disinformation.” Blinken’s inspired farce was dreamed up to aid a then struggling candidate Biden in his last presidential debate." . . .

The hill we will die on -

They own the Democrat Party.

 American Thinker  . . ."Then came the transsexual movement, complete with "drag-queen story hours" for young children.  Some of those children have become the victims of surgical mutilation.  This has occurred in the context of politicians and educators telling us we have no right to know what our children are being taught in school.  We are being threatened with loss of custody of our children if we do not "affirm" their "gender identity," if that identity does not conform with their biological sex.  Recently, during a so-called "pride march," the chanting marchers sang out, "We're coming for your children."  Even if this was chanted supposedly in jest, it was about as funny as joking that they would rape our mothers.  I doubt that all those who chanted this did so merely as a taunt.

"The trans activists claim that their survival is threatened by those of us who oppose their extremism.  As more than one such activist has whined, we wish only to be left alone.  After all, what do we care whom they love, or how?

"But we have reached an inflection point, one in which we can no longer be dissuaded by such whining.  We can no longer tolerate their intolerance.  We need no longer attempt to reason with their unreason.

"As more than one person has commented on this site and others, using various words to express the thought: the trans activists have gone too far this time.  They have underestimated the parenting instinct that most of us have, the instinct to protect our children.  We have become like the sleeping giant, but not merely roused from slumber by an offense.  We have been awakened by a burning house.  We have to get the children to safety, even if at the cost of our own lives." . . .

Jeanine Pirro Slams Kamala Harris: ‘If Anything, She Has Established the Precedent That a Woman Is Incapable Of Being Vice President’

 Jeanine Pirro Slams Kamala Harris: ‘If Anything, She Has Established the Precedent That a Woman Is Incapable Of Being Vice President’ (msn.com)  

 "Jeanine Pirro went beyond the usual bashing of Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday’s edition of The Five, going so far as to claim Harris has set a “precedent” calling into question women’s fitness for the position.

"C0-host Dana Perino noted the prevalence of articles about the veep’s public image.

" 'Judge, one of the things that we get about Kamala Harris is about once a week, there’s a story – maybe it’s every other week – but it is a lot, that they have a new plan and a new makeover and a new plan to rehab her reputation,” Perino said. “And this now two and a half years into the administration and so far [it’s] not working.”

"Pirro responded by underscoring the importance of the abilities of the vice president, given that President Joe Biden is 80 and has announced he is running for reelection next year.

" 'She is literally a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Pirro said before citing a new Fox News poll. “Thirty-nine percent had very negative feelings about her, like, hated her. It’s not just negative with 49, 39, very negative. She has an office with a toxic work environment. People are fighting with each other to get to the exit door.”

"The host then castigated Harris for seemingly making it more difficult for women to ascend to high office.

“ 'This is a woman who was in a position to make it easy for other women behind her to come forward and do the job, where Americans can say, ‘You know, a woman is capable of doing this.'” she continued. “If anything, she has established the precedent that a woman is incapable of being vice president.

"Pirro went on to note Harris’ habit of laughing at odd times." . . .

Never forget Kamala Harris’ cruel lies in the Kavanaugh confirmation fight  "Considering that Biden, while chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas hearings, helped pioneer the transformation of Supreme Court nominations into hyper-politicized, slander-laden circuses, his running mate’s actual record should come as no surprise.

"Harris was a ringleader in the circus surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination two years ago. Remember that? She may prefer you forget.

"Two years ago today, during his initial hearing, Harris tried to steal the show with a bizarre series of “gotcha” questions asking if he’d ever had a discussion about Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign with any employees of the law firm Kasowitz, Benson & Torres.

"Kavanaugh appeared to have no idea what she was talking about, but he was astute to the Democrats’ tactic of setting perjury traps that would lead him into making inconsistent statements that could later be spun as lies.

"Harris’ tactics would not have been permitted in a courtroom. As it turned out, both Kavanaugh and the law firm denied any such conversations, and Harris said nothing more on the subject. A San Francisco Chronicle headline reported: “Kamala Harris’ viral grilling of Kavanaugh ends with a thud.” But she had gotten what she was looking for — a “viral moment” for social media — even though she later would be mocked for pursuing such viral moments indiscriminately." . . .

The Myth of Biden the Uniter

  It’s Biden who recently said that chasing moderate legislators into bathrooms to pressure them into supporting his agenda was just “part of the process.”

National Review

 . ."Anyway, Biden, a unifer at heart, noted many in media, had largely avoided such charged rhetoric. This, too, is a myth. It’s Biden who recently said that chasing moderate legislators into bathrooms to pressure them into supporting his agenda was just “part of the process.” It’s Biden who said that supporters of voter-ID laws are backing “21st-century Jim Crow.” He’s the one who calls Republicans “authoritarian” and claimed that we’re “facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That’s not hyperbole, since the Civil War.” It is hyperbole. It is hyperbole most of the time.

"Biden has been a run-of-the-mill hyperpartisan demagogue for a long time. Watch some of his cringeworthy speeches on the Senate floor in the 1980s. Biden has been smearing judicial nominees for decades. When Biden accuses Republicans who disagree with him of “betting against America” or Mitt Romney — Mitt Romney — of wanting to put black Americans “back in chains” he is fueling paranoia, not comity. Biden’s “unity” talk, as it was with his old boss, Barack Obama, is little more than a pseudo-patriotic appeal meant to pressure Republicans into capitulation."

The Babylon Bee Is Fighting For Free Speech — And You Can Help |

 Babylon Bee

"The First Amendment is under constant assault in our nation. At The Babylon Bee, we fight on the front lines, wielding satire and silly jokes as weapons in a fight to preserve free speech in our culture. We've been fighting these battles since our inception. Some of the more notable examples include:

• 'Being accused by The New York Times of "trafficking in misinformation," resulting in us forcing the media giant to publicly issue a correction.
• Standing up and confronting "fact-checkers" from Snopes and USA Today (yes, they "fact-checked" jokes), despite the fact that we are a satire site.
• Filing an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to support a humorist who was actually jailed because of a parody website.
• Suing the Attorney General's Office in the state of California to block the enforcement of a law requiring social media companies to regularly report "misinformation, disinformation, extremism, radicalization, and hate speech."
• Refusing to delete a tweet that resulted in our suspension from Twitter, which may or may not have started a chain reaction that led to Elon Musk buying Twitter and restoring multiple accounts that had been labeled "controversial."

"Despite this track record of success, the fight for free speech has only just begun. This year, we had a video sketch pulled from Facebook for "misinformation." Why? Because we made a joke about people who wear masks. In our recent interview with Elon Musk, he told us there is still censorship happening at Twitter, and though he's trying to weed it out, he is being met with resistance within his own company." . . .
