Fox News’ Brit Hume Questions If AOC’s ‘Squad’ Has ‘Any Real Historical Knowledge’

Tony Branco

Lifezette  "Brit Hume went on Fox News on Sunday to respond to a tweet in which Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) claimed that black people were not “free.”...

“ 'When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free,” tweeted Bush, who is a member of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) radically liberal “Squad.”

"Hume fired back by questioning if members of the “Squad” have any real knowledge of history.

"“That’s one more sign of how open this country has become and how much more opportunity is available now to minority populations than ever used to be the case,” he said." . . .

Kayleigh McEnany Torches Lori Lightfoot For Saying Her Critics Are Racist And Sexist  . . . "McEnany, however, was not having any of it. She pointed to the surging crime rate in Chicago as she responded to Lightfoot.

“ 'I want to put up a cover that has haunted me ever since I saw it. It’s from last July of The New York Post,” McEnany told Fox News. “I’ll never forget seeing this. This was Davell Gardner. He was a 1-year-old at a barbecue when he lost his life, and that is his casket there' " . . .

 Black Hills Pioneer    "Most police departments — including Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the U.S. Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely.

"Which is what happened with the Jan. 6 shooting of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester in the U.S. Capitol riot who was fatally wounded by a plainclothes police lieutenant as she attempted to breach a set of doors inside the building.

"For the past six months, as Congress has proposed legislation to reform  police departments across the country, the Capitol Police has stiff-armed government watchdogs, journalists and even lawyers for Babbitt, who have sought the identity of the officer and additional details about the shooting. The USCP still refuses to release his name, in stark contrast to recent high-profile police shootings around the nation." https://www.bhpioneer.com/naming-the-capitol-cop-who-killed-unarmed-jan-6-rioter-ashli-babbitt/article_2af763f7-8d33-56f6-81bc-3cb8826363f1.html

. . . "February 2019, Lt. Byrd was investigated for leaving his department-issued Glock-22 firearm unattended in a restroom on the House side of the Capitol, even though the potent weapon, which fires .40-caliber rounds, has no manual safety to prevent unintended firing. Fortunately, the abandoned gun was discovered by another officer during a routine security sweep. A Glock-22 was used in the Babbitt shooting.". . . 

Most Black People Oppose Olympic Protests Like Gwen Berry’s: I&I/TIPP Poll

 Issues & Insights

"When hammer thrower Gwen Berry decided to protest the national anthem at an Olympic trials event last month, she raised the prospect that athletes will try to use the Tokyo Olympics to disparage their own nation.

"If they do so, they will get precious little support at home.

The latest I&I/TIPP poll finds that the public overwhelmingly rejects athletes showing disrespect for the American flag at international games.

"The poll found that 79% of the public say it’s important “for professional athletes to publicly respect the American flag on the international level,” with 60% saying it is “very important.”

Just 16% of the adults surveyed think it’s not important.". . .  

Why Is Kamala The Last Democrat Still Arguing Against Voter I.D.?

 Legal Insurrection

Harris: It’s “almost impossible” for rural Americans to photocopy their i.d.

"I'm talking!"

"Having to prove one’s identity to vote is something that has always had majority approval among Americans.  Democrats, however and not that many months ago, contended that it was “racist” to expect “black and brown” people to get a voter i.d.  It’s too hard, it’s unattainable (even when free), and they simply can’t manage it at all.

"This tune changed recently, however, with top Democrats and even the “real governor” of Georgia not only saying voter i.d. is fine, good even, but that they had never been against it in the first place.  A demonstrable lie.

"The most common analysis suggested that it was poll-based.  And while I do agree that the polls suggested this was a losing issue for Democrats, it always has been.  They just didn’t care.

"So what changed their tune?  Vaccine passports is my guess.  They can’t claim that “black and brown” voting blocs (how insulting and disgusting is that dehumanizing leftist construction?!) cannot manage a voter i.d. while simultaneously claiming these exact same people can somehow manage to figure out not only how and where to get vaccinated but how to obtain their vaccine passport.

"So suddenly, not only is voter i.d. a good idea, great even, but it was actually the Democrats’ idea in the first place!  They never said otherwise!  Really.

"Somehow, Kamala Harris, who is currently occupying the office of the Vice President, never got the memo.  As usual.  She’s always a day late and a dollar short . . . not to mention, out of touch, tone deaf, politically inept, and “completely wacky.” . . . (Emphases in the original.)

Embarrassing, completely out of touch, disingenuous, and condescending . . . . If memory serves, this is exactly why Democrat primary voters rejected her so totally in 2019-20 that she didn’t even stick around for the first Democrat primary vote.

Liberal Writer to Progressives: 'What Happened to You?'

 Guy Benson

. . . It is not conservatives who have turned American politics into a culture war battle. It is liberals. . . .

. . . "The more apt issue, writes Sullivan, is what has happened – and what is happening – to the elite Left: 

The real question is: what happened to you? ... Take a big step back. Observe what has happened in our discourse since around 2015. Forget CRT for a moment and ask yourself: is nothing going on here but Republican propaganda and guile? Can you not see that the Republicans may be acting, but they are also reacting — reacting against something that is right in front of our noses? What is it? It is, I’d argue, the sudden, rapid, stunning shift in the belief system of the American elites. It has sent the whole society into a profound cultural dislocation. It is, in essence, an ongoing moral panic against the specter of “white supremacy,” which is now bizarrely regarded as an accurate description of the largest, freest, most successful multiracial democracy in human history. We all know it’s happened. The elites, increasingly sequestered within one political party and one media monoculture, educated by colleges and private schools that have become hermetically sealed against any non-left dissent, have had a “social justice reckoning” these past few years. And they have been ideologically transformed, with countless cascading consequences.

Hunter, Joe, and the corrupt press

 The Hunter Biden Omission Continues

"Willful naivete" pretty much describes the entire pro-Biden press corps when it comes to Hunter Biden. It's see no Hunter; hear no Hunter; speak no Hunter.

Obama's Ethics Chief Zeroes in on What Could Be the True Purpose for Hunter Biden's Art Scheme    . . . "So, should we be shocked if the true nature of Hunter's art career is to funnel bribes to Joe Biden? I mean, doesn't anyone find it odd that the Biden White House wants to keep the names of those who buy Hunter's Rembrandt-like works hidden from the public? Obama's ethics czar zeroed in on why this is a problem. It's fertile ground for a bribery network. It's the perfect scheme to do such a thing:" . . . 

Biden Inc.: Hunter, Joe, and the Mexican Oligarchs  "The indictment of the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer has received a lot of press, and properly so. But while the media has been focused on the former president, they have ignored another corruption story involving the sitting president and his family. Like so much news that has been buried, the latest comes from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop. You know, the one the Bidens and their allies in Congress and the media suggested was a “Russian plant” and disinformation campaign, before that cynical claim was demolished by the director of national intelligence." . . .

The White House Crafted Hunter Biden's Secretive Art Sale Scheme: Report

The White House-ordained scheme will allow virtually anyone — including perhaps foreign nationals, American lobbyists, or individuals seeking to cozy up to the first family — to try buying favor or access. And if you've seen the art Hunter's produced so far, it's hard to fathom anyone forking over tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for any other reason.

Six Reasons Why Barack Obama Is the Worst President in History

 PJ Media  "By now you’ve probably heard of polls that say Americans believe that “Donald Trump is the worst president in history” or that presidential scholars have ranked Trump “dead last.” I can tell you right now to ignore the polls and the so-called experts. While it may be too early to properly gauge presidential rankings for recent presidents, I am confident that history will ultimately judge Barack Obama as the worst president our nation has ever seen.

"The mountain of evidence that condemns his presidency to the bottom of the barrel is overwhelming. In my just re-released book, The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama, I document 200 reasons why history will prove my belief correct in the years to come. Below, I present six abbreviated reasons, which, I can’t stress enough, are just the tip of the iceberg.". . . Keep reading

Conrad Black: Ranking the Presidents Once More   . . ."President Trump’s status at number 41 is utterly nonsensical. His achievements in reducing illegal immigration by 95 percent, eliminating unemployment, generating higher percentage income gains in the lowest rather than in the highest income brackets, solid advances in Mid-East peace, taming North Korea, and shaping up the NATO alliance will eventually be seen as far more important than stylistic infelicities when the current tide of partisan zeal and snobbery has ebbed.". . . 

Obama, the choice of gushing useful idiots

 

Rich Terrell

2015: Carter worse than Obama? At least Carter didn't fib Plus Obama was vindictive in the extreme.

Obama’s the first who thinks the way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary people.  . . . "The move to barricade the World War II memorial reveals the mentality of a tin-pot dictator. The limited government shutdown did not need to affect the memorial because it is open 24 hours, without gates and often without guards.

. . . “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting,” a Park Service ranger told The Washington Times.

"The ranger cited the order to close the parking lot at George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon so visitors couldn’t use it. The cheap trick captured the contrast between a revered president and the current one.

"I’ve been saying for a while that there is no bottom to Obama. He’s not just ruthless. He’s without scruples and honor."

Resist Wokism

 The Postil  "Until recently, the word “woke” seemed to belong to vocabulary reserved for American campuses, and really only for the most radical among them. It referred to a particularly active fringe of American students believing themselves to be in a crusade for social justice and more particularly concerned with questions of “race” and “gender,” and who were determined, in a way, to carry out a definitive lawsuit against the Western world, and more particularly, against the white man who incarnated in himself all his abjectness. This movement was recognized for its extremism, and even, for its fanaticism, being convinced that it had, and still has, a monopoly on the true, the just and the good. Barack Obama, in 2019, had warned the students claiming this: he could see that the claim they had to be awake, in front of a sleeping mass, or enlightened, in front of a people deep in the darkness from the past, could only increase tensions in an already very polarized society. A man of the left, to be sure, Obama nevertheless sought to remind these young minds that human nature is murky, and that social conflict cannot be reduced to a fight between good and evil.

"In some respects, we see in Wokism the new wave of the movement associated with political correctness, which from the 1980s wanted to decolonize the American university and its knowledge by getting rid of the figure of the Dead White Male. Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare and so many others had all to be sent packing; their overwhelming presence had contributed to the marginalization of minority knowledge and perspectives, from which it would be possible to lead an epistemological and political revolution against Western civilization. A new relationship with the world had to be imposed."  . . . More...

About The Postil Magazine; "We seek to feed the mind with good ideas, in that good ideas are expressions of a celebratory soul. The West needs reseeding with good ideas because it is in the process of losing its soul. There is a heavy pall of cultural fatigue smothering the West. It is a true Dark Age, where wisdom is confused with information, truth is problematized as spin, faith is ridiculed as superstition, language is tightly controlled, and reason is shouted down by weaponized emotion. We recognize that human beings cannot live without ideals, without transcendence, without truth. In effect, there can be no humanity without God."

Kamala -"I'm talking"- Harris Just Demonstrated, Once Again, How Clueless She Is About Americans

RedState  "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have very strange views of Americans.

"It’s hard to pick from among the odd, racist views that Biden has expressed over the years. But perhaps one of the worst was when he was asked about slavery and reparations, and responded that parents (implying black parents) didn’t know how to raise their children, that they needed to keep the record player on at night." . . .

. . . "Kamala Harris refuses to say if she would agree to voter ID. But, she seemed to be trying to come up with some other way to ding voter ID requirements — when she tripped all over her own perceptions of rural Americans. Listen as she explains that it’s “almost impossible” for rural Americans to photocopy their IDs.". . . 

Her statement met with much derision:

Hi, I live on top of a mountain on the WV/VA border and I can photocopy my ID. I mean I do it while moonshining White Lightning while dueling banjos play in the background but I can still do it.

It’s true. I just moved from a rural town and the only photocopier we had was an old Amish man named Malaki who would produce a sketch on parchment paper in exchange for three bushels of hay and two ears of corn.

Kamala Harris: The last Democrat holdout arguing against voter I.D.  "Democrats, even the crazy ones such as Stacey Abrams, have backed away from their call for zero photo I.D. in order to vote. Their argument that black people are incapable of getting I.D. is essentially racist. More important, from their point of view, the voters are squarely are not in their tree. Voter I.D. is a common-sense measure practiced in all civilized countries and voter polls support it. They still want to win in 2022, so they've moved away from that stance like a bad smell from a backed-up sewer.". . .
