We’ve reached peak racial Stockholm Syndrome

 "When you are used to special treatment, equal treatment feels like discrimination." Comment to this post.

VIDEO: We’ve reached peak racial Stockholm Syndrome - American Thinker  "Stockholm Syndrome describes a captive who has formed a psychological bond with his captors. That term describes perfectly a white man, somewhere in America, who began weeping at the thought that his call to the police about a black man brandishing a weapon and threatening to kill him resulted in the black man’s arrest.

One thing that was clearly on display during the BLM riots in 2020 was that the people most fervently committed to BLM activism were white, especially white women. However, there were some very hysterical white men on the front lines as well, joining their emotional compatriots in screaming at the police. Watching the video below, one must wonder what this particular white man was doing in June 2020:

. . ."What this blinkered leftist didn’t realize is that the man who was arrested, had he not been arrested, might have gone on to do something horrible, such as murdering or raping someone. After all, both the Talmud and Adam Smith recognized that you must take a stand against evil lest it metastasize. According to the Talmud, “If you are kind to the cruel, you will end up being cruel to the kind.” Adam Smith said much the same: “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.”. . .       (Emphasis mine, TD. Wanted to be sure you saw this.)

Find Out Why The Worst American President Ever Was So Loved

 

Obama Rings the Reparations Bell - American Thinker  . . ."Dalrymple goes on to write that "the whole idea of protected groups — is a retrogression from the Enlightenment idea of treating people as equal under the law." But Obama, tried and true Marxist that he is, will never stop pandering as long as it results in a rift in the nation that he so abhors.  As Ray DiLorenzo asserts, Barack Obama, George Soros and Joe Biden "fly our flag while with beamed expression do[ing] their diligence to destroy everything [America] stands for.' "

Biden And 2024

enVolve . . ."The assault on reliable energy is another instance in point. The current presidential administration of Joe Biden has commenced a war against fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine.

"All people in the nation that rely on a politically unimpeded private marketplace are victims of that war, begun, so we are told, to save the world from environment collapse. The disastrous measures taken by Biden to reduce environmental damage will have little effect in saving the nation from minimal environmental degradation. Nevertheless, Biden has… done what? He has curtailed the production of fossil fuel supplies, thus driving up the price of energy that will be paid in inflationary dollars. His chief replacement mechanism is turbine run wind power, an unreliable energy source the components of which are made in China, a country unfriendly to the United States but very friendly – so U.S. House Republicans tell us – with several members of the Biden family.

"In addition to Biden’s war on the internal combustion engine, the president has also opened a front against gas stoves. This political sortie hits very close to home, and it will further cause restaurants, heavily impacted by a government shutdown of businesses during the late politically caused COVID pandemic, to fire their staffs and shut their doors. All of this graphically demonstrates that neo-progressives who in recent years have overrun state and national governments have a primitive and fantastical understanding of the U.S. economy." . . .

Pride goeth before a fall.. .and a Spring, and a Summer annnnd a winter

 Rachel Levine: Not just 'pride month,' but 'summer of pride' - American Thinker   "From the "Give 'em an inch" Department.  Obsession with cross-dressers and other alphabet people is too important to confine to a mere single month, apparently.  First a month, then a season. What's next?  Will we soon be asked to celebrate some people's sexuality constantly?  Is there no limit to self-obsession?  

'Pride' Month Is Way Too Long (thefederalist.com)

. . ."And “sexual identity” isn’t even accurate anymore. “Pride” is now a catch-all term for perversions, fetishes, kinks, lack of personal hygiene, gaudy fashion, piercings, and on and on. Gay pride is nearly a hate crime against transgenders and “queers” these days. It’s they/them/their blobby body shapes that dominate “pride” now.  "The overexposure is literal. “Pride” events in major cities this past weekend featured men and women walking and biking publicly in the nude. Photos posted on social media showed that children were present. Happy pride.". . .

"Rachel Levine, President Biden’s haggard assistant secretary of Health and Human Services, said Monday, “Let’s declare it a summer of pride.” They had better not."

Joe Biden, President Non Compos Mentis; The nation has no commander.

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "If Joe Biden’s mental incapacity weren’t so serious, it would be hilarious.

"When the political satire show Veep starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus was making its run on HBO, I enjoyed the few episodes I did watch — but I never really could get into it. I couldn’t help but be depressed at the idea that the people in charge of this great nation were venal, stupid clowns like those on the show.

"Veep is funny if you know it isn’t reflective of reality. But even back when the show was making its run, it was too close to the truth.

"And now? It isn’t funny at all.

"Because all the worst reflections of America’s power elite that show presented are wide open for anyone to see, in real life. And it turns out it’s worse than you ever could have thought.

"At least the scheming clowns in Veep were sentient. That can’t be said for what runs the country in real life.

"Exactly what in the hell is this?" . . .

Fox News Feeds Its Viewers More Junk Food -

But I'll stick with Harris Faulkner in spite of her Outnumbered panel cutting off Newt Gingrich after he points out George Soros role in electing prosecutors. TD

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Fox News has shuffled its hosts to address the departure of Tucker Carlson.

"Sean Hannity stays at 9 p.m. Eastern. Laura Ingraham moves from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m. Jesse Watters shifts to 8 p.m. Greg Gutfeld dips into primetime in the 10 p.m. slot.

"Tucker Carlson offered viewers meat-and-potato viewing. They replaced that with candy in Jesse Watters.

"I like candy. I eat it. I cannot live on it.

"Gutfeld, even more outside of the news than Watters, brings more candy into the primetime lineup. Outnumbered and The Five also go down the light, breezy path.'

"Fox News needs these shows. They set it apart from CNN and MSNBC. But to flood your lineup with them turns serious viewers away. A host need not come across as a stern crusader or anything like that. But on a news channel, man-in-the-street interviews, comedy skits, and animal videos should not devour so much time.

"This isn’t a knock on Watters, who is a talented broadcaster — Bill O’Reilly plus a sense of humor and minus the peculiar vocabulary (pithy, counselor, what say you) — and Gutfeld, who, like a prime Howard Stern, attracts an audience not so much for what he says or does but for the cast surrounding him. It’s entertaining — right before midnight when the sandman sneaks up on you.

"Fox News erred in not finding new talent outside of the network. It feels all very stale with the same hosts bouncing around and the guests — often contributors on the payroll — mouthing cliches and talking points.

"Mostly, the fare does not fill. The sugar rush may boost ratings in the short run. They need something substantive around which to anchor their primetime lineup. Instead, they feed their viewers more junk food.

"Fox News executives do not know their audience, which explains its diminution." . .  .

Democrats want to bring America to her knees; morally and economically

Democrats want to bring America to her knees economically for the climate. Meanwhile: 

 Report: China emissions exceed all developed nations combined - BBC News

"China emits more greenhouse gas than the entire developed world combined, a new report has claimed.

"The research by Rhodium Group says China emitted 27% of the world's greenhouse gases in 2019.

"The US was the second-largest emitter at 11% while India was third with 6.6% of emissions, the think tank said.

"Scientists warn that without an agreement between the US and China it will be hard to avert dangerous climate change.

"China's emissions more than tripled over the previous three decades, the report from the US-based Rhodium Group added.

"The Asian giant has the world's largest population, so its per person emissions are still far behind the US, but the research said those emissions have increased too, tripling over the course of two decades.". . .

Two short videos perfectly sum up the climate change scam - American Thinker  . . ."In 1816, interrupting the warming period, there was a year without summer and mass starvation because of a single volcanic eruption: Mt. Tambora, in the Dutch East Indies, caused a worldwide temperature drop of 0.7-1 degrees Fahrenheit. The plume was so huge and filthy that it literally blocked the sun.

We are inconsequential—the climate changes due to its own rhythm. In the scheme of things, humans account for only a small percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere.

"What climatistas don’t acknowledge is that a slightly warmer world is human-friendly because it releases into the atmosphere water that’s usually trapped in ice. Water, not alcohol, is the true aqua vitae. No water; no life. When there’s drought or cold, people die. (For more on the risks from a coming natural cooling cycle, I recommend this and this.)

Peter Schweizer: ‘The Dam Is Starting to Break’ on Biden Family Corruption

 Exclusive -- Peter Schweizer: 'The Dam Is Starting to Break' on Biden Family Corruption (breitbart.com)

We've heard this before on other politicians; including "The walls are closing in".

; 

“ 'The dam is starting to break” on the Biden family corruption, multiple New York Times best-seller author Peter Schweizer said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

"Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute, spoke about the recent Hunter Biden whistleblower revelations.

“'This is really, really important. The dam is starting to break — truly the first time you’ve had somebody from inside the government who has said, ‘Wait a minute, the way this is being handled is wrong,'” he said, praising the whistleblowers who could otherwise retire and have comfortable lives.

“ 'Based on what they’ve told us, is that under ordinary circumstances, Hunter Biden would, right now, be facing indictments not only for tax evasion charges, which are felonies,” but also for violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Schweizer explained.

“ 'The U.S. Attorney in Delaware wanted to bring charges in both of those areas and was blocked by the Department of Justice (DOJ),” he said, explaining that the revelations also reveal that the DOJ not only failed to do its job but applied a different set of standards to Hunter.". . .

The Biden Banana Republic Wrist-Slap

 "Fact? Hillary Clinton broke the law in handling her emails. No indictment."  'By any means necessary' is not just a slogan with these fascists. A clear message has been sent that any true leader who emerges on the traditional conservative side will now be subject to similar blowtorch scorched earth tactics, including unfettered 'flood-the-zone' legal warfare, to destroy them and their families. The govt has been usurped by thugs, lunatics, incompetents and criminals. Unless and until Traditional Americans/ conservatives wake up and realize they have to 'fight fire with fire', we will lose.

 Biden’s Banana Republic - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"It was amazing to see Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointed special counsel, Jack Smith, step in front of the cameras and say of the indictment of former President Donald Trump: “No one is above the law.” Which is to say, Jack Smith looked the American people in the eye and straight up lied."

Another reason to vote Trump

 Don Surber

Trump is showing leadership in trying to rally the country behind the flag. Not the Pride one. Not the BLM one. Not the Ukrainian one. No, the real American flag.

"British newspapers reported this weekend that President Donald John Trump plans to throw the biggest party ever on July 4, 2026, to celebrate the 250th anniversary — the semiquincentennial — of the founding of the United States.

The American press ignored the announcement as reporters were too busy showing their expertise on Kremlin politics, just days after showing their similar ignorance about deep sea submersibles.

The Mirror reported, “President Donald Trump has vowed to throw a year-long party to mark the country's 250th birthday — also referred to as the semiquincentennial — should he be elected to serve a second term of office next November.

“July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, with Trump promising a big celebration ‘for everything we've gone through.’

“The 77-year-old made the pledge on Saturday during a speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Conference in Washington, D.C.”

"This was the same conference that booed Chris Christie. He’s most famous for closing the beaches as governor over a July 4th holiday — and then parking his fat ass on the beach. (Eye wash alert for the photo in the link.)

"Trump respects Independence Day.

"He told the conference that such an event will “restore pride in our history and confidence in our future." . . .

Riley Gaines dares ‘left-leaning’ media to interview her: ‘You know where to find me’

 Intelligent voices must resist the sheer silliness of leftist movements; Biden is not one to be that voice, should people not be aware of this. TD

Riley Gaines dares ‘left-leaning’ media to interview her: ‘You know where to find me’ (bizpacreview.com)   "Fresh from delivering powerful testimony against trans athletes before the U.S. Senate during a hearing on LGTBQ+ rights, former college swimmer turned women’s advocate Riley Gaines dared members of the “left-leaning” mainstream media to interview her.

"The challenge came in response to a tweet from USA Today Sports columnist Nancy Amour, who claimed those women who speak out against allowing biological men to compete against them and invade their personal spaces, such as the women’s locker room, are “using” the issue to gain celebrity status.

“ 'There is a growing cottage industry of women using transgender athletes to become right-wing media celebrities,” Amour wrote.

"Her tweet was promptly ratioed into oblivion by Gaines’s response.

“ 'Right-wing?” Gaines tweeted. “I’d love to be interviewed by you, Nancy. Anytime! You know where to find me as does CNN, MSNBC, and every other left leaning outlet that has failed to reach out and consider the perspective of those who are actually impacted by this.”. . .

. . ."“The left has to label any dissent as ‘right wing’ to attempt to delegitimize that dissent without ever addressing the substance of the dissent,” stated another. “It is far from ‘settled’ that the correct path is to allow biological males to compete with biological females.”

“ 'Waiting for 1 million women to rally and march on Washington DC in a unified effort to stand up for women’s rights,” noted a third. “This isn’t about being partisan but rather coming out against the idea that men are women.' ” . . .

No Laughing Jesters in Biden's Banana Republic -

 John Kass (johnkassnews.com)   

We’ve lost the law.  We’ve lost our most precious traditions, We are a Banana Republic. We use criminal indictments to get rid of people like any Banana Republic. We traded the American republic that kept us free for centuries because the bureaucrats of our unelected Kemalist administrative state didn’t like the immaturity of a boastful man who dared defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

. . ."Some jesters, like the famous and heroic Stanczyk shown at the top of this column dressed in red, is rather silent and glum. He is depicted as the only person at a royal ball who is bothered by the news that the Muscovites captured the Polish city of Smolensk in 1514. The others danced and enjoyed themselves, but not our glum Stanczyk. He served three kings and was no fool chattering what his masters wanted to hear. So, he was no Chuck Todd.". . .

  . . ."But these days modern jesters prefer to caper about singing show-tunes at the Gridiron Dinner in Washington, where journalists greet men who wear sashes, and none of them take things seriously, except their own ambition. So why aren’t they singing “Banana Boat?”

"Because they’re afraid. Oh they were excited and pleased that Democrat Biden, although doddering, and senile to the point of drooling in public, is still vicious enough to remake the United States as a Banana Republic.

"Because it was Biden who ordered that his chief political rival–former Republican President Donald Trump–be criminally indicted in the hopes of removing him as a political candidate in the 2024 election. Isn’t that election interference? Isn’t that what third-world nations do to their politics?

"And now that former President Donald Trump has been criminally indicted as Biden wanted, more news crashed against the calm demeanor of jesterdom: Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley said that the FBI source who reported President Biden’s alleged role in a multi-million dollar bribery plot is claiming to have 17 audio recordings of Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

"The source kept the recordings for “insurance.”

"And the jesters, including Biden himself, have retreated into stunned silence.". . .

‘Banana republic’: US looks after its ‘protected class’ with politicised institutions | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site   "Author Douglas Murray says the protected class in the United States can get away with an awful lot in what has become a “banana republic”.

“There’s nothing more worrying than the way in which in America at the moment it seems that institutions can be used as political weapons,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“For years, politicians have said to the electorate, send me to Washington and I’ll drain the swamp – but it turns out in most cases the swamp has drained them.”. . .
