Today in hate: Aug 6th, 2019

We must take every threat from Democrats seriously because as we discovered once again this weekend they too have guns and are willing to shoot.
Don Surber  "After denouncing hate on Sunday, Democrats went back on Monday to calling for violence against conservatives.

"In Kentucky, Mitch McConnell is convalescing at home after breaking a shoulder.

"Nancy's Army went to his house to harass him. He's 77.


"The New York Post reported, "Gun control supporters stood outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home in Kentucky on Sunday night — protesting and hurling death threats at him — while broadcasting on Facebook Live.

"' 'Murder Turtle!' the demonstrators can be heard shouting on video, in reference to McConnell’s infamous nickname.

"'Come out, come out, wherever you are,' a person says at one point, while the others continue to yell.

"'The bitch home — we keep seeing the lights go on and off,' another says. 'This hoe really thought he was going to get ready to be at home after he hurt his little punk ass shoulder. Bitch, don’t nobody give a f–k! F–k your thoughts and prayers, Mitch. F–k you, f–k your wife, f–k everything you stand for.'"


Love trumps hate; that's what Antifa says

Democrats’ Debate Cowardice, Hypocrisy, and Nuttiness

Victor Davis Hanson

Rarely has America seen a more unhinged group of candidates.
Can't say for sure, but this may have been a CNN thing.

"Half of the Democratic 20-person primary field in the debates appeared unhappy, shrill, and self-righteous, and determined that no candidate should out-left any other.
"So far, they certainly sound clueless about how they sound to those in western Pennsylvania or southern Michigan.
"Their timidity also only accentuated rampant hypocrisy. It manifested itself a number of ways, from fear of defending their own past records to cowardice in calling out the rank socialist absurdities of the demagogues on stage.
"Does any candidate believe in one’s prior convictions?
"In debate one, Joe Biden could have barked back at the attack-dog Kamala Harris that federally mandated school busing was always a bad and unpopular idea. He could have asked her whether the young Harris was aware of the chaos of the 1970s that surrounded forced busing, the dislocations that caused more problems than any problem that busing solved. He might have mentioned that forced busing would find zero support today.

Could someone have apprised Spartacus Booker that the Russians did not hand the election to Donald Trump by preventing African Americans from voting in Michigan in 2016 — a yarn that ranks with his “T-Bone” fantasies? When Booker whined that the erstwhile policies of a Senator Joe Biden had helped to ruin his “community,” which community was he referring to? The hometown where he grew up as the child of two IBM executives — tony Harrington Park, N.J., which is less than 1 percent black and one of the most affluent bedroom and commuter communities outside Manhattan?

AOC Sics Her Social Media Mob On High School Kids, Then Deletes Post

Weasel Zippers  "AOC got disturbed that kids at a Mitch McConnell event posted a picture, fooling around and hugging a cardboard cut-out of her.\
"So she posted the above pic so her mob could track them down.
"She later deleted it, but it’s clear she was pointing at her followers to identify the kids.
"That was then followed up by people doxxing the kids, naming their school and trying to get them.
"Good job, there, AOC, siccing a mob on kids! Talk about abuse of power…"


One response to the Valley Girl, AOC:


1) These are HS kids at an event that have no affiliation with McConnell. I assume you are now responsible for anyone who wears AOC gear?

2) These kids are acting dumb, but they are kids. Do you really think it's responsible for you to aim a mob of your followers at them for it? https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1158546217007222789 



Have Democrats sold their souls for our votes?

Beto exploits tragedy for sake of politics  "The bodies in El Paso were barely cold when Beto O’Rourke started blaming President Trump." . . .
"CNN’s Jake Tapper cut to the chase: “Do you think President Trump is a white nationalist?” 
“Yes, I do,” said Beto." . . .

It seems that journalists and other Democrats care about only deaths that fit their agenda  . . . "The terms "white privilege" and people of color" are dog whistles used to gin up racial hate.
"There is nothing racist about a president who wants to enforce immigration laws that Congress passed.
There is also nothing racist about a president saying how deplorable, dirty and crime-ridden cities run by Democrats are.
"There is certainly nothing racist about a president who wants to give everyone the opportunity to move up the economic ladder.  It is racist to continually seek to keep more people dependent on government, especially minorities."

Why ‘policing is racist’ is such a poisonous lie  "The Democratic candidates have revived the anti-police rhetoric of the Obama years. Joe Biden’s criminal-justice plan promises that black parents will no longer have to fear when their children walk the streets — the threat allegedly coming from cops, not gangbangers. Pete Buttigieg has said police shootings of black men won’t be solved “until we move policing out from the shadow of systemic racism.” [Bobby Francis] O’Rourke claims that police shoot blacks “solely based on the color of their skin.”

"A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demolishes the Democratic narrative regarding race and police shootings. It turns out that white officers are no more likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot black civilians. It is a racial group’s rate of violent crime that determines police shootings, not the race of the officer. The more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that members of that racial group will be shot by a police officer.


"In fact, if there is a bias in police shootings after crime rates are taken into account, it is against white civilians, the study found." . . .

The “policing is racist” discourse is poisonous. It exacerbates anti-cop tensions in minority communities and makes cops less willing to engage in the proactive policing that can save lives. Last month, viral videos of pedestrians in Harlem, The Bronx and Brooklyn pouring water on passive NYPD officers showed that anti-police hostility in the inner city remains at dangerous levels.
A staunch liberal Democrat wavers in reaction to the recent rhetoric of her party
. . . "My friend told me I had been right when I said the Republican Party was the party formed to end racism.  She commented that she had just learned that her Massachusetts ancestors, who were abolitionists, were Republicans." . . .
. . .  "My friend concluded that she just didn't know about the Democratic Party anymore and that she might just have to become an independent." . . .

What’s Really Behind the ‘White Supremacy’ Terrorism Scare

Julie Kelly


"The anti-Trump forces, now stripped of their Russian collusion ammunition, have invented another imaginary threat they hope to weaponize against the president: The public menace posed by “white supremacist” terrorism.

"Much like the collusion conspiracy theory—which relied on random incidents, fictional villains, unconvincing evidence, and the Bad Orange Man in the White House—there is little substance to this purported danger.

"Unironically, the whole ruse is being pushed by the same people who foisted the Russian collusion hoax on the American people for three years in the hopes of prompting President Trump’s impeachment and removal. The political agenda behind this manufactured white supremacy crisis is equally sinister because its specific purpose is to influence and undermine the 2020 elections.

"The “white supremacy” canard is intended to further demonize Trump; falsely defame his supporters as white supremacists; and pressure nervous voters into defeating Trump and Republican candidates next year. The strategy is as cynical as it is pernicious.
"Let’s clear one thing up before I get into the details: There is no systemic threat posed by white supremacy. Domestic white terrorists are not the same as, let alone worse than ISIS Jihadis. There has been no massive “surge” in white supremacy activity, as I wrote in November. These groups remain fringe, disorganized, and unrespected." . . .

Farcical convention of the Democratic Socialists of America sparks disappointment from lefties, hilarity from conservatives

Thomas Lifson 

"Left to their own devices, the Democratic Socialists of America put on a convention that has thoroughly demonstrated why they should never be allowed to run anything more important that their own mouths. By now, you’ve probably seen some video clips of people out-woking each other, such as this:" . . .
Be sure to say your preferred pronouns after saying your name!

"Ever wonder what happens behind the closed doors of the Democratic Socialist convention? Here's a taste" . . .


Democratic Socialists of America convention rules:
🔴 No “aggressive scents” in the quiet room
🔴 No misuse of doors
🔴 No interacting with cops
No talking to the press I’m sorry, I thought this was America.

‘We’re here to win’: US democratic socialists move to center stage

Press and politicians attacks on President Trump surely have to embolden our adversaries

What enemy would agree to weaken themselves when they see anti-Trump politicians in the US trying to bring down our president. What evil dictator would not relish dealing with President "Beto" O'Rourke or "White House Barbie" AOC?

N. Korea fires projectiles twice into sea, S. Korea says  Is there a connection between the left's vitriol against President Trump and our enemies growing more aggressive?

Why Aren't Democratic Presidential Candidates Criticizing Trump's Foreign Policy?

"Perhaps the biggest compliment to Trump's foreign policy is his political opponents largely want to make the 2020 election about domestic issues.

Gotta protest something...anything!

"You'd think that with more than 20 Democrats running for President, at least one of them would try to differentiate herself, or himself, from the rest of the field by focusing on the president's role in diplomacy and national security.

"It's still early in the campaign. But none of the major Democratic candidates has made foreign policy a focus. Instead the politicians are out there talking mostly about climate change, health care, income inequality, student loan forgiveness, national service, drug rehabilitation, racism—anything, it seems, except for geopolitics or grand strategy.

"Part of the reason is that the foreign policy threats seem distant. The Soviet Union is gone and the Cold War is over. The 18 year-olds who will be voting for the first time in the 2020 presidential election were not even alive during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

"When it comes to handling China, the Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.), has been cheering the president on. "Hang tough on China, President @realDonaldTrump. Don't back down. Strength is the only way to win with China," Schumer tweeted Sunday.

"Trump hasn't started any wars, so the Democrats can't really fault him for that.   . . ."

. . . Perhaps the biggest compliment to Trump's foreign policy is that in an economy with the lowest unemployment in 50 years, 3.2 percent GDP growth, and stable prices, his political opponents largely want to make the 2020 election about domestic issues. If the Democrats can't find some way between now and Election Day to make Trump seem vulnerable on national security, it will make retaking the White House that much tougher for them.  . . .

People Who Have Screamed 'Racism' For Decades Wonder Why No One Is Listening To Them About Trump

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/ added by TD
Satire by Babylon Bee:   "Many on the left are extremely concerned with the racist behavior of President Trump, especially with recent remarks telling non-white citizens to “go back” where they came from, and are trying to raise the alarm bells about how harmful that behavior is. The problem is, no one seems to be paying them any attention, despite the fact that they’re very experienced in warning people about racism, since they’ve done it about absolutely everything for decades straight.

“ 'I don’t know what’s going on,” said left-wing activist Ryan Weber. “Every day for years and years we’ve been yelling about racist things, from words to symbols to holidays to breakfast cereals to every single Republican ever, and we just assumed everyone was carefully taking notes every time we spoke up, but it seems like no one was paying attention at all.”

"This is very troubling to the left, because they think Trump is even more racist than the usual things they have labeled as racist, but they’re not sure how to express that. “I mean, we compared John McCain to George Wallace,” stated Democrat Maggie Wilkins, “and I’m not sure who to compare Trump to in order to show he’s an even more worser racist.”

"Activists are considering coming up with other words to express that Trump is a worse kind of racist. They considered “white supremacist,” but they’ve been using that a lot lately, so it would only mean to most people that Trump is as bad as the Betsy Ross flag. So they tried to invent a new term -- double plus racist -- to express how extra racist Trump is, but then remembered they already used that on Mitt Romney."

CNN's Amanpour vs. Kellyanne Conway: Will You And Trump's Advisors "Seek To Restrict His Twitter Use" After Mass Shootings?

Real Clear Politics




"CNN's Christiane Amanpour grills Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway about the El Paso massacre and Trump's inflammatory language when talking about immigrants.

" 'The experts say there are climates of hate that are created, usually from the top," Amanpour said. "So I'm asking you: Will you and the president's advisors seek to restrict his Twitter use and his other use of these words? What he said about Elijah Cummings, what he said about Baltimore, what he says about migrants? Yes or no, it is simple, because if it is no, it stays there at the top."

" 'No, I'm not telling you what we discuss with the president," Conway fired back.

" 'No, I'm asking you, do you agree with that?" Amanpour interrupted. "Do you agree with it? Infestation. Invasions. These are important words. Look back in history, Kellyanne."

" 'You keep repeating it because a day ago your network insisted that the president would not come out and denounce racism, white supremacy, bigotry, call this evil, call him a monster, try to fix our mental health system," Conway replied.

" 'So the simple follow-up question is, will he then not say those things on the air, on Twitter, on social media again?"

" 'I'm not going to allow you to equate him with the murderers," Conway replied.

" 'You know I didn't do that, I'm asking about his words," Amanpour said.

" 'I heard a lot of words on your network and others the last couple of days," Conway said. "You are talking to the world. You have to own it.' " . . .

Dayton Shooter Connor Betts: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Heavy


"Connor Betts, who was named by police as the body armor-wearing, masked gunman who fatally shot at least 9 people, including his own sister, in Dayton, Ohio, had shown red flags since high school, when former classmates say he drew up a hit list and was a bully.
"Betts was also in a “Pornogrind” Band that, according to Vice News, “released songs about raping and killing women.” Vice called it the “extreme metal music scene.” The bands he performed in sometimes were called Menstrual Munchies and Putrid Liquid, and the songs contained vile names like “6 Ways of Female Butchery” and “Preeteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter,” Vice reported.
"A woman he briefly dated, Caitlyn “Adelia” Johnson, told The Toledo Blade that he took her to gun ranges and showed her body camera video footage from a mass shooting, causing her to break off the relationship by text message. She also told the newspaper that Betts confided that he was bipolar and had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
"The tragedy left at least 27 more injured in a popular bar and restaurant district in Dayton, Ohio." . . .

5. On Twitter, Betts Described Himself as a Leftist & Wrote About Hell & Guns


. . . "On Nov. 2, 2018, he wrote: “Vote blue for gods sake.” NBC News reporter Ben Collins also said on the air that Connor Betts had a social media presence and identified himself as part of the left, and that he “tweeted about Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.' ” . . .

Cultural Appropriation 101

Mike Adams


"It once was the case that only those foolish enough to take a course in sociology risked being accused of “culture appropriation.” Unfortunately, the concept has leaked out into the larger society to the extent that I now get emails from people seeking advice on how to respond to the accusation. The following is an example of an email I received just a few days ago:
Hello Mike: I have a question. I don’t know if this is appropriate to ask, but what is your response to cultural appropriation? I think it is stupid liberal whining, but how do I address it in a "high road" way? Are there any articles or schools of thought resources I can research? Thanks! Alicia.
"Having found no specific resources, I decided to publish my brief response in column-form so that those facing the accusation will be prepared. It is brief, but here is all you need to know the next time you are accused of “appropriating” another culture:
Dear Alicia: The concept of cultural appropriation is like a lot of progressive ideas. It is so ridiculous that all you have to do is ask the proponent of the idea some pointed questions in order to poke a hole in the concept. Let’s start with an example.
 Several years ago, some fraternity men were accused of cultural appropriation because they decided to throw a Cinco de Mayo party at which they all wore sombreros. The results were predictable. They got drunk, they posted pictures of themselves wearing sombreros all over social media, and then people got offended. That led to the specific accusation of cultural appropriation and subsequent trouble with their school’s administration. The question is: What would you do if faced with a similar accusation? 
 There are two possible responses I would recommend – the first slightly aggressive and the second much more so.
