The left has a new oppression every day

Merkel regime threatens critics of Greta -- Up to 3 years imprisonment for satires about Greta   "Two long and beautifully designed Greta pigtails hang from the trunk. Above them is written "Problem solved", and a little further up "F--k you Greta". The public prosecutor's office has initiated an investigation against a man from Plauen who has stuck the pigtails on his car. "The accusation to be examined is a public request to commit crimes," says Ines Leonhardt, spokeswoman for the Zwickau public prosecutor's office. One could see in this kind of tailgate decoration the glorification of violence against children and the invitation to do harm to a certain person. The penal code provides for up to three years imprisonment.A citizen filed a denunciatory complaint. Just the sticker "F--k you Greta", which for example a citizen stuck on his old Citroen, was considered an insult, according to the prosecutor."

 
 Great moments in progressive liberty: Antifa blocks, intimidates elderly couple in sidewalk 

 "There are bad optics, and there’s this from Andy Ngo, the intrepid reporter on the Antifa beat. (Beat in this case being a bit too literal at times.) When an elderly couple used a walker to cross the street in order to attend a conservative event at Mohawk College in Ontario, Canada, the masked goons of Antifa immediately responded to the threat. Intimidating octogenarians by impeding their access and shouting “NAZI SCUM OFF OUR STREETS” in their faces is totes honorable, right? . . .

. . . "But Vlaming fired back in a lawsuit filed on Monday, accusing the West Point School Board of violating his right to free speech. He said he was fired because he avoided using pronouns all together when referring to the student, who was transitioning to male at the time.
"Using male pronouns, such as “him” and “he” when addressing the student would have violated his “conscience,” Vlaming said in the suit, citing religious beliefs.
He said school administrators eventually gave him an ultimatum: either use male pronouns or risk losing his job.
“ 'Defendants made up an uncompromising interpretation of their policies to compel Mr. Vlaming to take sides in an ongoing public debate regarding gender dysphoria and use pronouns that express an objectively untrue ideological message,” the lawsuit says. “Mr. Vlaming’s conscience and religious practice prohibits him from intentionally lying, and he sincerely believes that referring to a female student as a male by using an objectively male pronoun is telling a lie.' ” . . .

Hillary Clinton: The One-Woman Wrecking Ball Against Norms and Institutions, Who Won't Go Away

Guy Benson  "Believe me, I'd love nothing more than to simply ignore and forget about Hillary Clinton.  Endlessly re-litigating the 2016 election is boring and exhausting.  She thought she had it in the bag, she outspent her opponent two-to-one, and her staff prematurely celebrated their "victory" before discovering -- to their horror -- that voters in several key states had other plans.  Liberals enjoy accusing conservatives of still being obsessed with Mrs. Clinton, but in fairness to her detractors, she insists upon inserting herself into the national discussion on a regular basis, very often to attack and tear down the man to whom she lost.  Much of this can be chalked up to bad form from a sore loser.  

. . . "The latest example of Clinton's endless, damaging whining comes from an interview over the weekend in which the former Secretary of State calls the sitting president a "corrupt human tornado," and asserts that his presidency is "illegitimate:"

. . . "Two thoughts:  First, whatever one thinks of Trump's situational and myopic ethics, and there's plenty of material to chew over on that front, Mrs. Clinton may want to take a seat during any conversation about public corruption.  Go back and read this piece from June of 2016, in which I carefully chronicled her dishonesty, misconduct and corruption during her time in the Obama administration alone. From her dodgy "slush fund" of lucrative influence peddling, to her outrageous lies about a terrorist attack, to her unceasing cascade of lies about her email scheme, over which she should have been indicted.  Her self-serving and duplicitous conduct was brazen and chronic*." . . .
*  Chronic definition
constant; habitual; inveterate: a chronic liar.
continuing a long time or recurring frequently: a chronic state of civil war.
having long had a disease, habit, weakness, or the like: a chronic invalid.
(of a disease) having long duration (opposed to acute)
….


In 1996, The New York Times columnist William Safire diagnosed Hillary Clinton's real problem. He called her a "congenital liar."
. . . "This is the challenge when it comes to character. Think of people you know who have consistently lied to you. Would you trust them to pay back a loan? Would you let them baby-sit your kids? Would you trust them as president of the United States?" . . .

That Safire Essay: Essay;Blizzard of Lies  "Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar." . . .
"The abuse of Presidential power known as Travelgate elicited another series of lies. She induced a White House lawyer to assert flatly to investigators that Mrs. Clinton did not order the firing of White House travel aides, who were then harassed by the F.B.I. and Justice Department to justify patronage replacement by Mrs. Clinton's cronies.
"Now we know, from a memo long concealed from investigators, that there would be "hell to pay" if the furious First Lady's desires were scorned. The career of the lawyer who transmitted Hillary's lie to authorities is now in jeopardy. Again, she lied with good reason: to avoid being identified as a vindictive political power player who used the F.B.I. to ruin the lives of people standing in the way of juicy patronage." . . .

You Ask A Lot Of Questions For A President

Now you know why all of official Washington, D.C., is screaming: IMPEACH! They don’t want you to find out that America’s “premiere law enforcement agency” tried to throw a presidential election and destroy a presidency.
darkangelpolitics
Ann Coulter  "This column will explain the impeachment farce in two minutes. By the end, you will thank the media for demanding the release of Trump’s phone calls with the presidents of Ukraine and Australia.

" 'What the phone transcripts demonstrate is that -- unlike the typical Republican -- Trump is not a let-bygones-be-bygones sort. He intends to find out who turned the FBI into a Hillary super PAC, using the powers of the nation’s “premiere law enforcement agency” (according to them) to take out a presidential candidate, and then a president.

"The whole picture becomes clear when you have the timeline.

"Instead of the FBI just admitting that it launched the Russia probe to help elect Hillary, the agency has given us a scrolling series of excuses for this partisan attack.

"The FBI’s first claim was that it was merely investigating the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s email servers. As part of that effort, it was, naturally, obligated to spy on the Trump campaign.

"Then we found out that the John le Carre theory of Hillary’s defeat was based exclusively on the word of a single cybersecurity firm. Yes, the FBI was SO frantic about the DNC’s servers ... that it didn’t bother examining them itself. I repeat: The FBI never touched the DNC's servers. . . . .


. . . "After carrying on about the dossier for nearly all of 2017, on Oct. 24 of that year, we finally found out who had paid for it: the Hillary Clinton campaign. (And you wonder why they don’t want to give us the whistleblower’s name.) 

     "This rather important datum was coughed up not by the media, but only in response to a court order. Good work, “watchdog media”! Nothing gets past you guys." . . .



Do Democratic Loyalists Really Know their Party?

Lloyd Marcus  "Do you find yourself scratching your head wondering why your intelligent, moral, and Christian relatives and friends continue to support the Democratic party despite its amoral, anti-Christian, and anti-American agenda? A part of the problem is that for decades Republicans and conservatives have brought an olive branch to a gunfight, allowing progressives free rein to demonize Republicans and conservatives in the minds of many Americans. Trump is a rare Republican who understands the viciousness of our enemies within and is fighting back appropriately.

"No matter how hard I try to educate relatives and friends about the benefits of conservatism and voting Republican, some persist in viewing me as an Uncle Tom black man betraying his people. Stenciled on their brains is the lie that conservatives and Republicans are selfish, rich, and racist white men who abuse and exploit everyone. Thank God for the #WalkAway Campaign and the Blexit movement in which youths, white and black, have finally seen the light and are exiting the Democratic party with its decades of lies and broken promises.
 
. . . "This relative has no idea that Biden and his fellow Democrat presidential contenders demonically seek to legalize murdering babies after the child is born. In their perverted definition of women rights, Democrats say that a woman has the right to murder her healthy born baby. I pray for the right time to tell my senior relative the truth about Biden and her beloved Democratic party.
. . .
. . . "San Francisco is a Democrat-controlled sanctuary city. A Democratic relative’s eyes almost popped out of her head as I told her about the poop maps distributed in San Francisco to help tourists avoid the piles of human excrement left by vagrants defecating on the streets. She knew nothing about the swiftly expanding massive tent cities, rat infestation, and resurgence of old diseases due to filth. She had no idea that rather than reversing their policies which are destroying the once beautiful city by the bay, Democrats are tripling down on their insane policies." . . .

Green Dream to End Fossil Fuels Also Means Going without Plastics

American Thinker


. . . "The current crop of Democratic Party presidential wannabees have drunk the Green New Deal (GND) Kool-Aid.  Stop fracking!  Stop oil and gas production on federal lands!  Ban offshore oil and gas production!  Most of these “rocket scientists” come from states that import their refined products for transportation fuels and heating oil.  They do not want any of those stinking oil refineries in their backyards but please continue to import the gasoline and diesel from refineries in the Virgin Islands or from Venezuelan-owned refineries.  So where do we get plastics if oil and gas production ceases?  Technology exists to convert coal into hydrocarbons but it is energy-intensive and very expensive.  By the way, that technology was developed to further Hitler’s Nazi putsch to conquer the world.  So do we return to a world of “Before Plastics”?" . . .

Gaslighting the Voters

The ‘mainstream’ media are no more than propagandists for the party.  For years they have arrogantly taken upon themselves the label ‘gatekeepers.’  When you really think about what they mean by that, you should be furious.  They think they have the right to feed you, the public, all the fake news they want you to have, and keep from you the truth about any subject they choose


Tom Knepper  “'Gaslighting” is a term well-known in the psychological counseling community, especially among those dealing with narcissistic personality disorders.  It refers to the technique used by a narcissist to convince his victim that what he sees with his own eyes is not true, and hence, he must be going crazy.  If the victim catches the narcissist in the act of some foul deed or betrayal, the narcissist will deny his guilt with such passion and apparent sincerity that the victim is tempted to believe him, despite the evidence of his own eyes.  The technique is especially effective as a long-term strategy -- the victim or enabler is worn down by repeated assertions that what he just saw or knows to be true is actually false, to the point where he doesn’t have the strength to resist anymore." . . . 
. . .
"Anyone who tunes in to mainstream media ‘news’ broadcasts, a punishment I haven’t inflicted on myself in years, is subject to endless harping on these talking points seeking to pin some imaginary offense on Trump, and totally ignoring the elephant in the room -- the fact that the Democrats are generally guilty of the offense for real.  Like the malignant narcissist, Democrats believe that voters are so stupid and easily manipulated that they can be made to believe an outrageous lie when the truth is staring them in the face.  In a similar vein, the latest push for impeachment depends on the low-information voter being stunned by the word itself into abandoning support for Trump, without bothering to discover the fact that there are no legitimate grounds for impeachment, only frenzied partisan gaslighting going on." . . .

Hillary says whatever she thinks she needs to say at any given moment to try to win people over


Impeachment Creates an Opening for Chappaqua

. . . I noticed that the New York Times has been leavening its editorials with pictures to be certain all its readers — even its non-readers — get the point of its editorials. President Trump was, of course pictured on the Times’ editorial page. He looked very angry.


The American Spectator  "How is the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry going to turn out? Well, we have already been through the impeachment inquiry, though it was called by another name. It was called the collusion inquiry, and it turned out as most conservatives said it was going to turn out. They said there was no evidence and Robert Mueller, who conducted the official inquiry, found no evidence. By the way, I insist that Robert Mueller is an honorable man. His service to the country was notable. In my opinion, he is a hero in this epic battle between President Donald Trump and the Democrats. Will there be another hero?
"The impeachment inquiry will proceed along the lines that the collusion inquiry followed. After each leak, each new accusation, even after each new twist and turn of the collusion proceedings, the Left celebrated and then quieted down. Why did they quiet down? Because the conservatives were right with their rejoinder: “There is no evidence.” There will be no evidence found for impeachment either. Why?
Well, I am one American, though I am sure that there are many more, who is looking for a fair-minded and objective arbiter to come to a sober conclusion about President Trump’s July call to the newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Had President Trump done anything wrong? Had he committed an impeachable act by mentioning former Vice President Joe Biden to President Zelensky?
. . .
"The Democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry for which there is no evidence. And what will the Democrats do after the government establishes there is no evidence for impeachment, just as there was no evidence of collusion? I have no idea, but you can be sure that the Democrats will be off on a new investigation of the president if they manage to maintain their edge in the House of Representatives. For this is their new innovation in constitutional government. The Democratic House of Representatives no longer legislates. That is passé. It now investigates."

 

Racial Attack Used by Media to Smear Mike Pence’s Wife Revealed as Hoax

Legal Insurrection

“To the broader community, who rallied in such passionate support for our daughter, we apologize for betraying your trust.”


"A middle school student at Immanuel Christian School in Virginia recently claimed white boys at the school held her down and cut her hair. The media wasted no time trying to pin this controversy to Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, because she works there as a part-time art teacher.
"Now we know it was a hoax.
"How do we know? Because the girl has admitted it.
"FOX 10 in Phoenix reported:
. . .
"Statement of apology from the family of the 12 year old African American girl who now admits she made a false assault allegation against 3 white boys in her class.

"At least the family has apologized. That’s more than anyone can say for the countless media figures who rushed to connect this fake act of hatred to Karen Pence.
"Just look at this collection of breathless journalists pushing the Karen Pence connection before all the facts were even known: . . .
. . .
"All of the media figures who couldn’t wait to push this dirty and false narrative as a smear piece owe the Pence family, the boys who were accused, and their viewers an apology."
(Emphasis mine, TD)

See again why we cannot trust the press as they pile on Karen Pence

Jane Pauley's corrupt fawning over Hillary

CNS News  "For anyone who doubts the daily double standard of the news media, just look up CBS show episodes from Sunday, Sept. 10.

"Up first, "Sunday Morning" host Jane Pauley softly and sweetly served one puffball after another to Hillary Clinton for her book-tour kickoff. " . . .
"Pauley tenderly asked questions like "How are you?" and "Can we talk about Election Day?"
"Clinton blamed her defeat on a heavy dose of "sexism and misogyny" and blamed Trump for exploiting "a nostalgia that would give hope, comfort, settle grievances, for millions of people who were upset about gains that were made by others."

"Pauley facilitated: "What you're saying is millions of white people." Clinton agreed. "Millions of white people, yeah," she said. Pauley moved on. "And then there were the Russians," she said.
"The "roughest" patch came when Pauley intoned, "But there were serious self-inflicted wounds, too." She vaguely suggested it was time for Clinton to talk about the emails. Then, she lamented that Clinton's excuses for her decisions with emails "never satisfied critics or the press."

"The press won't even challenge Clinton on the ludicrous idea that the press heavily favored Donald Trump in 2016. No one with eyes or ears should buy that nonsense." . . .

Maxine Waters Wants Trump ‘Imprisoned’ And ‘Placed In Solitary Confinement’

Daily Caller  "Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters wants to see President Donald Trump locked up behind bars and in solitary confinement.
The congresswoman on Tuesday cited Trump’s comments about the intelligence community whistleblower as reason to imprison the president. The president said at a Sept. 26 event that White House officials who provided the whistleblower with information were “close to a spy,” adding that “spies and treason” in the “old days” were treated “a little differently than we do now.”
“ 'I’m calling on the GOP to stop Trump’s filthy talk of whistleblowers being spies & using mob language implying they should be killed. Impeachment is not good enough for Trump. He needs to be imprisoned & placed in solitary confinement. But for now, impeachment is the imperative,” Waters wrote on Twitter.

Stephanopoulos to Schiff: If what Trump said was so bad, why make up dialogue?

Hot Air  "Kudos to George Stephanopoulos for asking the obvious question after last week’s stunt at the House Intelligence Committee — although Adam Schiff seemed surprised by it. “If the facts are as damning as you say,” ABC’s This Week host asked, “why make up dialog for dramatic effect, even if it’s a parody, as you say?”
Schiff never gets around to actually answering that question, nor does he have one for another of Stephanopoulos’ questions (via Twitchy):
. . . "Instead, we got parody … the precise thing into which is what Schiff has transformed himself over the past two years. It would be a lot easier to take anything Schiff says seriously if he hadn’t destroyed his credibility by claiming for two years that he’d seen objective evidence of Trump colluding with Russian intelligence, only to have Robert Mueller confirm that no such evidence exists. This is a case of derangement, and Schiff just made it even more public in his opening statement — so much so that Stephanopoulos had no choice but to point out the obvious.
"It’s not as if the Zelensky call isn’t troublesome and doesn’t raise questions about Rudy Giuliani’s activities in Ukraine. It does, however, make it clear that Schiff can’t conduct a credible investigation into it. It’s certainly not evidence for impeachment, except perhaps as parody.
"Speaking of which, here’s the other question from Stephanopoulos that Schiff couldn’t quite answer:" . . .

Hillary! She's baaaaak! UPDATED!

Who Ordered This Clinton Comeback Tour  . . . "Asked by Jane Pauley of CBS News if she thought it would be harder for a woman to defeat Trump next year, the former secretary of state said that she didn’t think so. “Look, there were many funny things that happened in my election that will not happen again. And I’m hoping that both the public and press understand the way Trump plays the game,” she said.
Clinton implies that Trump stole or rigged the election — elsewhere in the interview, she refers to him as “an illegitimate president” — and that this explains her loss."Indeed, the new book of essays now landing on the shelves is written by Mrs. Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton, is published by Simon & Schuster. Some informed observers speculate the book could be yet another indicator — along with increased public appearances and commentary — that Mrs. Clinton pines for a political comeback."
"What kind of comeback? Oh, maybe the bumper stickers will read BIDEN/CLINTON 2020, WARREN/CLINTON 2020 — or even CLINTON/CLINTON 2020. Who the heck knows?
“ 'Word on the political street now is the rumbling that the impeachment probe launched by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be the crack that opens the door for another presidential run by Hillary Clinton. This time, the thinking goes, Hillary would be running with vindication that the 2016 election was ‘stolen’ from her and she can ascend in 2020 to reclaim the mantle for her party and the majority of the country that voted for her,” writes Nate Ashworth, editor in chief of Election Central." . . .

Chelsea tells talk show host she feels need to protect Mom from Trump supporters

Hillary Clinton ‘Communes’ with the Spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt (Snopes) . . . "While many media outlets reported that Woodward’s book documented Clinton holding seances and “speaking to the dead,” Dr. Jean Houston, the advisor who worked with Clinton during these “imaginary chats,” said that the exercise was more akin to brainstorming than a religious ritual: . . .  How Hillary’s Seances Led Democrats To Embrace The Occult



Clinton discussed her admiration for Eleanor Roosevelt "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s affair in a Sunday interview, saying, “It can be gutsy” for the wife to stay in the marriage." . . .

UPDATE:  Hillary: No one told me about this shocking, “godforsaken” obstacle in 2016, or something  . . . “ 'And now the godforsaken Electoral College”? Just as a reminder, the Electoral College has been the method of electing American presidents since 1789. It’s not a secret that the overall popular vote does not matter for presidential elections, especially since 2000’s Bush-Gore contest. Is it too much to ask that presidential candidates familiarize themselves with the 237-year-old instructions for American governance before running for office?"  . . . Shame on Jane Pauley of CBS for her fawning over this woman.
