Biden wasn't kidding when he kept saying "Barack and I..."

Obama and Biden were up to their necks in the Flynn persecution
. . . "The notes, which Peter Strzok wrote based on a conversation with Comey, show Obama directing the FBI to investigate General Flynn using “the right people,” while Biden came up with the idea that Flynn should be prosecuted under the Logan Act, an old, unconstitutional law that is inapplicable to a national security advisor. As well as showing a White House conspiracy against the incoming administration, the notes also reveal that Susan Rice’s bizarre inauguration email to herself was false and that Biden lied to Americans about his involvement.
"Although heavily redacted, the portion of the notes that the DOJ released to the public is unambiguous. In the Scribd document embedded below, the title that The Federalist gave to the one page document tells the whole story: “Peter Strzok’s Notes Confirm Obama Personally Ordered Hit on Michael Flynn.” .  .  .
Tony Branco
. . . "On top of all that, there’s also the fact that the Democrats’ presidential nominee – Joe Biden – played an active, if idiotic, role in what looks remarkably like a seditious conspiracy.
"The notes reveal that Biden was the person who came up with the idea of a Logan Act prosecution. Actually, that makes sense. It would be Biden who would cite an 18th century, unconstitutional law that cannot apply to an incoming national security advisor. One has to wonder how Biden even thought of it. The best theory comes from Undercover Huber:" . . .
Riots give Donald Trump a chance to rally his supporters and go after racism  . . . "Videos of rioters pulling down statues and occupying American cities are bewildering. Why are these people allowed to do this?
"We already know the answer: politics. Urban America is largely run by liberals who have no idea how to stop the anarchists. A shocking amount of lawlessness is taking place where weak politicians are too spineless to stop it." . . .

The feats of Democrat governance over anything

Investment Firm CEO Says Company Is Leaving Seattle Following Unrest  . . . "The CEO of a billion-dollar investment firm said his company is moving away from Seattle following weeks of unrest and the establishment of downtown’s so-called Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or CHOP.
“ 'The unrest that has taken place in the city of Seattle … there is really is not a downtown business community today,” Smead Capital Management President Cole Smead told KTAR on June 22. The firm announced its decision to move its office to Phoenix’s Camelback Corridor last week.
“ 'My biggest concern for Seattle was what the business community is going to come back to, and what kind of businesses are going to come back for customers,” he said." . . .

Businesses Leaving Riot-Torn Cities - ‘They Didn’t Protect Our People’
. . . "The destruction that took place in Minneapolis amounts to over $500 million dollars in damages. One-thousand businesses were damaged, and 52 of those were destroyed, the Star Tribune reported.
"Wryrobek said that he is confident that his business will overcome, but that it would not be doing it in Minneapolis" . . .




Cities lose their charms when they’re engulfed in chaos, crime, and mobs — and run by virtue-signaling appeasers.  . . . "When the mayor and police look the other way as the mob carries off Louis Vuitton bags, and CNN reporters assure us of peaceful protests while flames engulf our television screens, why rebuild or restore what the authorities and the influential deem expendable? Why live in Detroit in 1970 when a constant 1967 repeat was supposed to be a tolerable cost of doing business there?" . . . Victor Davis Hanson

All to bow and appease these people? And yet they vote for people just like themselves to run this nation!

The Lid


"What happens if you get a ballot in the mail, and it doesn’t have any candidates from your party on it? Does THIS count as voter suppression?
"Remember when objecting to large-scale mail-in ballots was proof that you wanted to suppress the vote? Well, it didn’t take long for their concerns to be vindicated—suppressing GOP votes.
"We live in crazy times, where it’s getting harder to tell the difference between basic incompetence, like an honest printer error, or a dirty trick played by someone willing to win ‘by any means necessary.’ " . . .

Are we being trolled? Criminals announce time and place they will tear down Abraham Lincoln statue in DC

They will gloat if they get us all to watch this statue while these undereducated vandals go after something else. I doubt most drones will think of that but am sure they are all being led by more sinister elements that do the thinking for this generation.TD

BPR  Black Lives Matter extremists in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area are reportedly intent on tearing down a statue that was paid for by freed slaves.
"Known as the Emancipation Memorial or as Freedman’s Memorial, the statue depicting former President Abraham Lincoln and a freed slave has sat in Lincoln Park since 1876.
"More notably, the monument was paid for almost entirely by freed slaves.
"“The bronze statue, designed by sculptor Thomas Ball, was built almost entirely with funds donated by former slaves and dedicated in 1876,” D.C.’s official tourism site, Washington.org, notes.
" 'The statue was unveiled on the 11th anniversary of Lincoln’s death, with Frederick Douglass delivering the keynote address to President Ulysses S. Grant and more than 25,000 people in attendance.”
"One hundred forty-four years later, extremists with BLM are planning to try and tear down the monument this upcoming Thursday, according to reports (*Language warning):" . . .

The Story Behind A Statue
"On April 14, 1876, the 11th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, a handsome bronze statue called "Freedmen's Memorial" was unveiled in Washington. The piece contained two figures: Lincoln and a newly freed slave, just rising from his knees and grasping a broken chain. This statue, which still stands in Lincoln Park, was erected with contributions from hundreds of former slaves who wanted to pay tribute to the man who had proclaimed their freedom in 1863. But the statue also pays tribute to an unlikely pair of St. Louisans who helped give it life. The model for the freedman was Archer Alexander, a Virginia-born slave who found refuge in St. Louis during the Civil War. " . . .
Just after Lincoln's death, the commission had received an intriguing request from a former slave, who sent the commission $5 -- her first earnings as a free woman -- to help build a monument to Lincoln, "the best friend the colored people ever had." The commission began a fund-raising campaign and invited former slaves to contribute. Soon it had amassed $16,242 -- a huge sum, but not enough for the monument proposed. A disappointed commission banked the money and waited. Then in 1869, Eliot visited the studio of sculptor Thomas Ball, where he saw a plaster model for a statue of Lincoln and a kneeling slave. Ball was willing to reproduce it in bronze, at cost. The commission asked Ball to make two changes in the statue. First, the former slave should not appear passive, but an eager participant in his own liberation. Ball obliged and gave him a broken shackle. And instead of an idealized figure, the commission wanted to represent a real freedman: Eliot gave Ball photos of his employee Archer Alexander. Eliot had known Alexander for more than a dozen years by the time the statue was dedicated. In 1885, Eliot would publish a moving biography, "The Story of Archer Alexander," in which he wrote, "I never knew a man, white or black, more thoroughly Christian ... in all conduct and demeanor." Yet the book did more than describe one man's life. By telling Alexander's story, Eliot wished to expose the horrors of slavery. " . . . Full article here.  Visit our home page here.

It is tragically clear that the childish “leaders” of CHAZ/CHOP in Seattle, of the anti-police movement, the monument-destroying thugs and the rest of the idle young who lack an ounce of gratitude for being born in the greatest nation ever founded are characterized by one thing above all:  ignorance.  This includes the idiot mayors and governors who support and defend these dissidents who take their cities hostage as they prostrate themselves before them.

They really have no agenda other than the idea we're going to topple a statue. It's not going to give a kid whose parents can't afford college money to go to college. It's not going to close the labor gap between what white workers are paid and what black workers are paid. And it's not going to take people off welfare or food stamps.”

"Johnson also mocked Hollywood celebrities who have collaborated in social media videos to apologize for racism on behalf of white people." . . . 
Remember these deeply emotional award-winning performances by Hollywood people that I'm sure came from deep in their innermost depths, deeply? 

. . ."White Americans seem to think that if they just do sort of emotionally or drastic things that black people are going to say, ‘Oh my God, white people love us because they took down a statue of Stonewall Jackson.’ Frankly, black people don’t give a damn.” . . .

Senate Democrats Block Debate on Police Reform Legislation, Pelosi Doubles Down on Appalling Smear

Guy Benson  "We know what Democrats profess.  Earlier this month, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi draped themselves in African Kente cloths -- apparently unaware that they were associated with the slave trade -- and knelt before the cameras for nine minutes.  Their goal, aside from the obvious political pandering, was to signal the urgency of passing police reform legislation in the wake of George Floyd's killing.  By that point, Schumer had been demanding for days that the Senate Republican majority put a bill on the floor as soon as possible, before July 4th.  Senate Republicans are now attempting to do precisely that, but are being blocked by...Chuck Schumer.  There is no bottom to Washington's bad faith, cynicism and dysfunction:" . . .
. . . "Sen. Tim Scott, a black Republican, took the GOP lead on the proposal, which was preemptively assailed as failing to 'meet the moment' by a leading Democratic vice presidential contender before it had even been produced for her review.  Within minutes of its unveiling, the second-ranked Senate Democrat called it a "token" effort, drawing an impassioned response from Scott.  And shortly after signaling that she thought each Congressional chamber should pass their own bill then hammer out a compromise in a conference committee, Pelosi turned to despicable slander:" . . . Video

7 Statues the Left Really Should Want to Tear Down if They Don’t Want to Be Hypocrites

PJ Media  "The protests and riots we’ve witnessed the past few weeks have resulted in a number of historical statues being torn down. There doesn’t seem to be much of a standard for what statues are offensive. Statues of Christopher Columbus and Confederate generals have been defaced, destroyed and torn down, as have statues of abolitionists. A statue of Abraham Lincoln is actually being considered for removal in Boston, Massachusetts.
"The apparent lack of consistency with which these statues and memorials have been targeted has many asking “What’s next?” 
"But perhaps the better question is “Why not this?”
"These protestors think their efforts to tear down historical statues in the name of social justice is noble, but in reality, they reek of hypocrisy because of the statues that have so far avoided their path of destruction.
"Here are seven statues that the left ought to tear down if they don’t want to be hypocrites." . . .

1. Che Guevara’s statue in Central Park

"Sure, you’ve seen his likeness on t-shirts on the privileged youth of America, but did you know that there’s a statue of Che Guevara in Central Park? " . . .

2. Margaret Sanger’s bronze bust at the Smithsonian

"Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, might be the fairy godmother of the modern abortion movement, but her affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, her support for the Nazis’ forced sterilization programs, and the racist motivations behind her abortion agenda should disqualify her from being revered by anybody. " . . .

3. Harvey Milk’s bust at San Francisco City Hall

Harvey Milk is a gay rights icon and one of the first openly gay elected officials in this country, but what the radical left doesn’t want you to know is that he was a sexual predator who liked to have sex with underage boys. " . . . And Barack Obama's Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus named a US navy ship after Milk  

4. The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in D.C.

Another man whose mythical status has concealed the grim details of his presidency is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His legacy somehow manages to remain unblemished in the eyes of the Democratic Party, despite his signing of Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the unconstitutional incarceration of Japanese, German, and Italian Americans into internment camps. The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial was dedicated by President Clinton in 1997, and features a bronze statue of FDR. It seems way past time to take down the statue and repurpose this memorial.

5. Barack Obama’s statue in Puerto Rico

"As celebrated as Barack Obama is by the left, Obama was a notorious race-baiting demagogue who relied on racial and class-based rhetoric to justify most of his actions, and whose presidency was horrible for minorities. 
"By the time his presidency was over, an overwhelming majority of Americans believed that race relations got worse after his election. Black Americans were hit hard by the recession that defined the early months of his first term, but were mostly left behind in the economic recovery that followed. In 2012, there were more young black Americans living in poverty than before his election. Yet, that same year, a statue was erected in Puerto Rico in his honor.
. . ."In fact, polls show voters believe Trump has done more good for black Americans than Obama did.
"Then of course there’s the fact that Obama’s presidency was plagued by over thirty scandals—many of which would have seen another president impeached. "

6. J. William Fulbright’s statue at the University of Arkansas
"William Fulbright was a longtime U.S. senator whose name and likeness are practically synonymous with the University of Arkansas. A 7-foot tall statue on a huge granite base stands like a small tower at the university’s Old Main courtyard. Fulbright was a segregationist who signed the Southern Manifesto in opposition to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. He participated in the southern Democrats’ filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  What’s his statue still doing there? " 

7. Robert Byrd’s statue in the U.S. Capitol

"The late Democratic Senator from West Virginia was an “exalted cyclops” in the Ku Klux Klan, yet remains a celebrated figure in the Democratic Party. Even after he allegedly renounced the Klan, he, like Fulbright, filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and voted against the confirmations of African American Supreme Court justices Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas.
"Nancy Pelosi made a big thing out of removing the paintings of three Democrat Confederate House Speakers, but a bronze statue of Robert Byrd still stands at the U.S. Capitol for some reason. In addition to the statue, there are many buildings, roads, and bridges named after the former Klansman.

Insults to Black History

...Self-destructive behavior that has become acceptable, particularly that in predominantly black schools, is nothing less than a gross betrayal of a struggle, paid with blood, sweat and tears by previous generations, to make possible today's educational opportunities that are being routinely squandered. I guarantee that blacks who lived through that struggle and are no longer with us would not have believed such a betrayal possible.  ... WEW



Walter E. Williams  "Many whites are ashamed, saddened and feel guilty about our history of slavery, Jim Crow and gross racial discrimination. Many black people remain angry over the injustices of the past and what they see as injustices of the present. Both blacks and whites can benefit from a better appreciation of black history.
"Often overlooked or ignored is the fact that, as a group, black Americans have made the greatest gains, over some of the highest hurdles, and in a shorter span of time than any other racial group in history.
"For example, if one totaled up the earnings and spending of black Americans and considered us as a separate nation with our own gross domestic product, we would rank well within the top 20 richest nations. A black American, Gen. Colin Powell, once headed the world's mightiest military. Black Americans are among the world's most famous personalities, and a few black Americans are among the world's richest people such as investor Robert F. Smith, IT service provider David Steward, Oprah Winfrey, and basketball star Michael Jordan. Plus, there was a black U.S. president.*
"The significance of these achievements cannot be overstated. When the Civil War ended, neither a slave nor a slave owner would have believed such progress would be possible in less than a century and a half -- if ever. As such, it speaks to the intestinal fortitude of a people. Just as important, it speaks to the greatness of a nation in which such gains were possible. Nowhere else on earth could such progress been achieved except in the United States of America." . . .

Great Moments in Racism: The Dash Cam Tapes

Imani Perry
Ann Coulter  "If you were watching MSNBC last Sunday, you may have seen Imani Perry, professor of African-American studies at Princeton University, and wondered, as I did, Why do I know that name?
"Professor Perry’s delightfully original point was that we need to “think in serious contemplative ways about the depth of American inequality.”
"So perhaps we know her from her incisive commentary! I certainly haven’t heard anyone talk about American inequality. It really made me think.
"But then I suddenly realized it’s that Imani Perry! The one who nearly destroyed a policeman’s life by falsely accusing him of racism!
"Back in February 2016, Perry launched a series of tweets, alleging the following:
— She was “arrested in Princeton Township for a single parking ticket three years ago.”
— She was cuffed — FOR A PARKING TICKET — and not allowed to make a phone call so that someone would know where I was.”
— “I was afraid,” she wrote. “Many women who look like me have a much more frightening end to such arrests.”
"Oh my gosh, she could have been killed!
— She was “working to move from being shaken to renewing my commitment to the struggle against racism & carcerality.”
"Naturally, her story became instant international news. The president of Princeton leapt to her defense, firing off a letter to the chief of police, demanding an investigation. (I know Perry is a professor, but you’d think that, by now, more people would say, Let’s wait for the facts.)
"Perry attributed the universal acceptance of her story to her “small build” and her association with “elite universities” such as Princeton.
"Just a thought, but it might also be because she’s black." . . .

The left's war on police


The leftist war on America's police is intended to oust Trump  "One of the byproducts of anarchy is totalitarianism.  People cannot sustain living in a wholly destabilized society, and they will invariably seek a strong man to create order.  Order, after all, was Hitler's promise following the utter chaos of the 1920s.
"Democrats, with their simultaneous attacks against both Trump and civil order, are hoping they can herd people into voting for Biden, with the promise that a Biden presidency will bring peace.  And it will — a Roman peace, along the lines of Tacitus's famous statement that the Romans "ravage, they slaughter, they seize by false pretenses, and all of this they hail as the construction of empire.  And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that peace."  To that end, the Democrats are busy ravaging, slaughtering, and seizing by false pretenses." . . .


This notion of doing away with law enforcement in its entirety is nonsense. We live in a society that is based on law and order. There are criminals who – shockingly – break the law because that is the very definition of a criminal. Police officers exist to make sure laws are maintained and those who are the victim of a crime have someone on their side. 

This could be your civil authority from now on:
