Media Needs to Stop Enabling Hillary's Continued Descent Into Crippling Delusion

PJ Media

"Hillary Clinton is not a mentally well woman. It doesn’t matter which side of the political aisle you’re on, that’s not breaking news. Give any Democrat enough truth serum and he or she will admit that Mrs. C. has all the screws loose.

"The mainstream media hacks know this too but they’re all too set in their ways to acknowledge it and stop enabling her.

"Granny Maojackets knows that she can crawl out of her box of breakfast Franzia at any time and excuse any aberrant and/or criminal behavior of hers by mumbling something about Trump and no one in the media will question her.

"Matt wrote last week about Hillary’s defense of her latest stink:

According to a motion filed Friday by Special Counsel John Durham, lawyers for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign allegedly paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers that belonged to Trump Tower and, later, the Trump White House “for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.”

“Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones. So it’s a day that ends in Y,” Hillary tweeted on Wednesday. “The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.” Hillary included a link to an article from popular culture and fashion magazine Vanity Fair, which she claims debunks the allegations because that’s the best she could come up with after five days.

"Apparently, Hillary is unaware that John Durham doesn’t work for Fox News. Or Donald Trump.". . .

The Two Tweets from Harris and Biden About Russia That DID NOT Age Well (townhall.com)

 Townhall  "Russia invaded Ukraine yesterday. Russian troops entered the eastern part of the country, where the two would-be Russian separatist republics were recognized as independent states by Moscow. Biden did nothing. Oh no, wait—that’s not fair. He sanctioned them, which I’m sure sent chill down Putin’s spine. Moscow knows it can inch closer and closer on this issue because Joe can’t do anything. He won’t do anything. He’s part of the old Obama era, who were kicked around all over the world because everyone knew their hand. Joe is even worse. Yet, he was Mr. ‘Tommy Toughnuts’ when it came to Russia during the 2020 election.

 “Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him,” Biden said in a tweet back in February of 2020.". . .

Liberals Overdose on Cope After Biden's Pathetic Weakness Is Laid Bare – RedState  "As RedState has reported, Russia has officially thumbed its nose at Joe Biden and invaded Ukraine. That happened after Vladimir Putin formerly recognized regions of Eastern Ukraine as autonomous, setting up the pretext to move in troops across the border as a peacekeeping force.

"The administration has responded by quibbling about the definition of “invasion,” and signing a toothless executive order to sanction financial dealings in the Donbas and other regions now officially occupied by Russia. Whether tougher measures are coming is still an open question.

"Regardless, what we do know is that Biden, for his proclamations of Putin being afraid of him, has been thoroughly embarrassed, having a Russian invasion of Europe take place on his watch. How has the left decided to cope with that?". . .

These reactions are comical and clearly coordinated in some way. The Washington Post has no less than three op-eds out this morning trying to spin Biden’s abject failure as some kind of victory, including one by the gaslighter du jour, Jennifer Rubin. No doubt, shadow president Ronald Klain will be hitting the retweet button soon enough.

"Obama gave up Crimea and his flunky is giving up Luhansk and Donetsk, which have been controlled by Russia since 2014. That was in Obama's second term. You know, the one he said he would be more flexible in.

"This is another humiliation for America under a Democrat president. Not as bad as Afghanistan but a humiliation never the less. Sending Kamala to Munich was embarrassing. She sounded high.

Biden's Actions Making Putin Very Rich - President Trump Chimes In (thegatewaypundit.com)  . . ."President Trump chimed in on Biden’s disaster in a statement noting the following.

If properly handled, there was absolutely no reason that the situation currently happening in Ukraine should have happened at all. I know Vladimir Putin very well, and he would have never done during the Trump Administration what he is doing now, no way! Russia has become very very rich during the Biden Administration, with oil prices doubling and soon to be tripling and quadrupling. The weak sanctions are insignificant relative to taking over a country and a massive piece of strategically located land. Now it has begun, oil prices are going higher and higher, and Putin is not only getting what he always wanted, but getting, because of the oil and gas surge, richer and richer. The U.S. was energy independent under the Trump Administration, an independence that we had never obtained before, and oil prices would have remained low. Now, what a mess our Country is in!

 Liberals Overdose on Cope After Biden's Pathetic Weakness Is Laid Bare – RedState

In the end, what we are witnessing is Democrats doing their best to cope with the fact that they were simply wrong. They truly thought that a senile old man could be put into the White House, and that it wouldn’t lead to horrible consequences. In their world, “mean tweets” and arguments over gender pronouns were the most important issues of our time. Well, how’s that working out?

This means she presented no threat to Biden, whose incompetence is compounded by his rapidly declining cognitive abilities.". . .

The Delicious Tucker Carlson-AOC War

"THERE IS NO PLACE ON EARTH, OUTSIDE OF AMERICAN COLLEGES AND NEWSROOMS, WHERE SANDY CORTEZ WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A “WOMAN OF COLOR,” BECAUSE SHE’S NOT. SHE’S A RICH, ENTITLED WHITE LADY." * 

 Wild Sage News from The Delicious Tucker Carlson-AOC War - The American Spectator  "In case you missed it, on Friday night Tucker Carlson ditched the opening monologue he was going to talk about, which had to do with the impending military conflict between Russia and Ukraine or the fresh Castro-esque tyranny in Canada, and instead started a public war with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

"Carlson wasn’t angry at AOC. His ire was directed at New York Magazine, which has produced a hagiographic book about her entitled “Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC.” The editors at that magazine go on and on about the importance of the leftist congresswoman from Queens, prompting Carlson to compare it to a box of Fig Newtons that one cannot put down until it’s empty despite the knowledge that what’s inside isn’t healthy.

" 'We still feel sick” after reading it, he quipped.

"As Carlson puts it, the book “opens by comparing Ocasio-Cortez to Jesus and then it suggests that because she once got second place in a high school science competition, she could have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. It is a remarkable piece of journalism.”

"The whole thing is ridiculous, and so Carlson spent 12 minutes ridiculing it.". . .More...

Defying the Desecrators

Matt Schlapp and Deal W. Hudson remind us that where there are Desecrators, there are also saints and everyday heroes.

 In The Desecrators, the Right Can Learn to Reclaim Hope for America - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Matt Schlapp and Deal Hudson have written a must-read book about how the Left seeks to destroy this country and what we must do to ensure this doesn’t happen. The book is called The Desecrators, and that’s just what has happened to America in the last few years.

"Matt is the chairman of the American Conservative Union and the fellow who runs CPAC. Deal is the radio host of Church and Culture and the secret behind Trump’s successful outreach to Catholic voters in 2016. And what they’ve given us is an eye-opening account of just how bad things have gotten.

"Today’s Left attacks America with an astonishing and never-before-seen ferocity. In the past, it loved our country, or said it did. In the 1930s, the U.S. Communist Party spied on us for Russia, but party leader Earl Browder was constrained to say that “communism is 20th century Americanism.” Protestors took to the streets but told us that that was how we began as a country and assured us that dissent was true patriotism.

"In the last two years, however, we’ve seen the rise of a cancel culture that seeks out conservatives and religious believers with the goal of getting them fired. Left-wing prosecutors have allowed hardened and dangerous criminals to remain on the streets. And in our liberal cities, looting has become accepted as a form of social justice.

"For this, part of the blame can be attributed to the New York Times’ 1619 Project, which asks readers to rethink all our history from the perspective of slavery: “Out of slavery grew nearly everything that has truly made America exceptional: its economic might, its industrial power, its electoral system.” That naturally appeals to people who despise America. Nikole Hannah-Jones, who wrote the Pulitzer-winning essay kicking it off, took pride in how she might have encouraged the 2020 riots. She approvingly retweeted a New York Post op-ed entitled “Call them the 1619 Riots.” I’d be honored if that’s what they’re called, she said.". . .

The Gathering Storm in the West

"Few are listening anymore to the clueless Justin Trudeaus and bumbling Joe Bidens and all the toxic hypocrisies they embody."

"The truckers remind Western audiences that modern progressivism equates muscular labor and hourly wage compensation with a sort of Neanderthalism. ". . .

Victor Davis Hanson  "Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing Western elite.

"Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week invoked martial law to arrest and financially destroy truckers on the charge that their largely peaceful protests are “dismantling the Canadian economy” that had already been dismantled for two years under some of the most draconian lockdowns in the world. The trucker “sect,” Trudeau added, is guilty of felonious “unacceptable views.” But his rhetoric still cannot square the circle of demonizing vital workers while conceding he cannot run his country without them. 

"He has invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in the law’s 34-year history, even as the highly infectious Omicron variant wanes after spreading natural immunity and yet proving relatively mild in its effects. Trudeau has neither science nor good governance on his side, especially given how civil the protests have been. The truckers, who more or less work in solitary cabs, are better informed about the “science” and are themselves mostly vaccinated.  

"Whether by accident or intent, the truckers have now become iconic of far larger issues. Their resistance to government vaccination mandates transcends them. And so, they are playing the role of the proverbial straw that may break the back of a once compliant Canadian citizenry, burdened by over two years of masks, lockdowns, and vaccination mandates.

The absurd ‘Russiagate’ Pulitzer of the NY Times and Washington Post

NY Post  “For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest,” the citation from the Pulitzer Prize board begins, “that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the president-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.”

"Except the journalism that the Pulitzers honored — a 2018 National Reporting prize shared by the Washington Post and the New York Times for reporting on Russiagate — did no such thing.

"It led to a dramatic misunderstanding, suggesting that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to help sway the 2016 election — a grand conspiracy that we now know never existed.

"Oh, it was “deeply sourced,” in that deep-state Democratic bureaucrats, furious that Trump had won the White House, were falling over themselves to talk anonymously to reporters.

"And it was “relentlessly reported,” or at least just relentless, as the newspapers were obsessed with taking down the Trump administration.

"Yet reading these pieces four years later, one is struck not only by how irrelevant they are, but how shlocky — tinged with a McCarthyist alarmism of a red under every bed. Two major newspapers that hold themselves up as the pinnacle of press freedom, the “truth dies in darkness” brigade and all that, pushed a conspiracy theory.

"As a lesson in mass delusion, it’s worth going through the 20 stories that make up the Post and the Times’ award-winning series to show just how damaging they were: to the truth, to the newspapers’ reputations — and to America itself." . . .  Full article here...

Washington and Lincoln Call the American People to Reclaim their Rights from Government

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

American Thinker   "With the shock and awakening of Americans that the freedoms, rights and opportunities they had taken for granted for generations have been brazenly stripped away in the last few years, this President’s Day 2022 may well be one of our most significant holidays. Presidents Day is unique among American holidays in providing the opportunity to appreciate why George Washington and Abraham Lincoln -- whose birthdays fall in February -- were the two greatest U.S. presidents. 

"While Washington was the founding father of the United States, becoming the first President in 1789 after final success in the War of Independence, Lincoln would save the nation from division and collapse -- bringing an end to the Civil War and the scourge of slavery as the sixteenth President in 1865.  In short, Lincoln saved the republic that Washington made possible.  And two remarkable men they were, whose wisdom, judgment and foresight are more relevant today than they were in their times.       

"In both Washington and Lincoln, we are confronted with flawed men who made mistakes, but whose remarkable qualities of character were so formidable that they became part of the essence of what we call “American exceptionalism.”  Both presidents readily admitted that it was not their own abilities that made the difference but rather their faith, trust and reliance on God that gave them their strength and opened the way for ultimate success. 

"What is particularly striking for people today is that both Washington and Lincoln agreed that America’s greatest threat to its national survival would not come from military invasion from a foreign power. Rather, America’s downfall would come from within.". . .

Crackdown Sparks Even More Massive Protests Across Canada, Crisis for Trudeau

So far the crowds have been classier than Antifa and BLM.

"The protesters in Ottawa are hoping to make it through the weekend until the Senate convenes. They want to make it to Monday because the Emergencies Act has to be approved by the Parliament within seven days of it being called for, which was on February 14. So it has to be approved by tomorrow. They are hoping that the legislators will not approve it, the police will back off, and the Parliament will address their concerns.

"There were still hundreds of protesters out Saturday in Ottawa, more even than there were earlier when there was a lot of police action against them. And some of them may even be the people who were “arrested” earlier.". . .
