AOC gets (gently) questioned about her border hypocrisy

"The Tunnel Dweller only attacks me because he knows he can't date me!"

 HotAir   "The NY Times published a new interview with AOC, which was pretty clearly prompted by a piece written by Freddie deBoer for NY Magazine last month. It was titled “AOC is just a regular old Democrat now.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent appearance on the Pod Save America podcast had, for me, the feeling of a final disappointment, the kind that’s a little sad but brings a set of quixotic hopes to a close. AOC appeared on the popular Crooked Media show to announce her endorsement of Joe Biden for president in the 2024 election. To deliver that particular endorsement while appearing on that particular podcast — where former Obama-administration staffers define the limits of acceptable left-of-center opinion — was to send a very deliberate message. It was AOC’s last kiss-off to the radicals who had supported her, voted for her, donated to her campaign, and made her unusually famous in American politics, the beneficiary of a wholly unique cult of personality that is now starting to come
undone.

"When I wrote about that story I highlighted these images from 2018 when AOC was just an unknown candidate.

Tucker Carlson Warns We Are Speeding Toward the Assassination of Trump

We can comment on the silliness of CNN, but no outlet can match MSNBC for narrow-eyed venom and sheer hatred in the persons of Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, and Donny Duetsch.

The Western Journal.  Tucker Carlson has reached a conclusion that must also have occurred to many of us at some point since 2020.

"Appearing on “The Adam Carolla Show” on Tuesday, Carlson noted that the years-long trajectory of persecution against former President Donald Trump has only one logical end.

" 'We’re speeding toward assassination, obviously,” Carlson said.

Carlson offered this shocking observation as an answer to a question from Carolla about the future. “Are they going to let Trump be president?” Carolla asked.

"Without identifying who “they” might be, Carlson began by reviewing the history of opposition to Trump. The former president’s enemies have subjected him to insults, protests, multiple impeachments and now four separate indictments. Meanwhile, Trump’s popularity has grown.

“ 'So if you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment, and none of them work, what’s next? I mean, graph it out, man,” Carlson said before making his assassination prediction.

"To be clear, Carlson did not say that an assassination would happen. But he did say that assassination represents the logical conclusion to a relentless campaign of destruction.

. . .“They’re savage animals. They are people that are sick — really sick,” the former president said.

Why don't they employ Keith Olbermann? He was born for that channel. TD

Has the regime finally given the green light to get rid of Biden? -

 Revolver News    "The Biden administration is clearly on some very shaky ground right now. The popular theory is that Dems are using Republicans as a tool to take down Biden. They realize that winning in 2024 with Biden at the top of the ticket, even with another wave of sketchy mail-in ballots, is a long shot. The latest scandal is a big one. According to National Archives, Biden sent over 5,400 emails using secret accounts during his vice-presidential tenure, apparently to facilitate he and Hunter’s foreign money hustle. Now, a new very intriguing rumor is making the rounds in the Swamp that could be the ultimate downfall for the Biden Boys. According to Newsmax, there’s evidence that confirms Biden’s guilt beyond any reasonable doubt. Greg Kelly says there’s a video that will end Biden’s 2024 campaign. So, as these scandals continue to pile up the question on everyone’s mind is: have Dems finally given Republicans the green light to oust Biden?

"Here’s what Collin Rugg, the co-founder of Trending Politics had to say about this recent development:

BREAKING: Newsmax host Greg Kelly claims an audio tape containing “incontrovertible evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption” exists and will be released to the public in the coming weeks.

Big if true.

Kelly claimed the audio tape is so explosive that it will force President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.

“I am told by people in the know… that there is incontrovertible evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption that is about to be made public,” Kelly stated.

“He will not be able to remain a candidate for the presidency for reelection. It will be over and done with.”

“They’re worried about it right now at the White House.”

 CNN Sinks To All-Time Low To Defend Biden (msn.com)

"Right on cue, CNN came rush to the defense of President Joe Biden’s “routine” summer vacation in preparation for “workaday realities” in Washington, D.C. amid “Republican backlash.”

In reality, Biden has set an all-time record by vacationing 40% of the time while in office. In just 2.5 years in office, Biden has vacationed for an entire year." . . 

“Heading home from Lake Tahoe on Saturday, President Joe Biden exchanged a week of waterfront seclusion for the more workaday realities of running the country from Washington.” (Poll: Is CNN ‘Fake News’? VOTE)

“ 'With the vacations usually comes criticism,” the left-wing network continued. “For Biden, the harshest attacks came following the Maui fires. Although he quickly signed an emergency declaration and worked to marshal federal resources, a ‘no comment’ when questioned about the death toll on the beach led to days of Republican backlash. (The White House later said Biden couldn’t hear the question.).”. . .

Who’s above the law? How about Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton and BLM rioters, for starters

 Consequently, federal officials telling pleasant fictions about no one being above the law only serve to highlight the distance between the elites and the people, between stated aspirations and ugly truths.

Who's above the law? How about Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton and BLM rioters, for starters - Washington Times    "Recently, we have had to endure a series of reminders that “no person is above the law” from a batch of folks, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio.

"But that is not really true, is it?

"There are many, many people who are and have been, at least so far, above the law. Here’s a very short list:

• Hunter Biden, and the “big guy,” aka President Biden, assuming he really did profit from whatever Hunter was doing with the communist Chinese, the Ukrainians or the Mexicans.

• The honorable Hillary Clinton.

• The FBI agents who offered whatever wound up being necessary for the FISA court to issue warrants to surveil the Trump campaign in 2016.

• BLM rioters/“mostly peaceful” protesters.

• “Mostly peaceful” pro-abortion protesters, either picketing outside the homes of Supreme Court justices or tossing the occasional firebomb through the windows of a pregnancy center

• The folks who gave you the wholly fabricated Steele dossier.

• The 5 million people who have crossed the southern border in contravention of American law since Mr. Biden became president.

• Everyone in the Bush administration who was absolutely certain and completely wrong about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

• Everyone in the Obama administration involved in the extrajudicial killing of an American citizen (Anwar al-Awlaki).

• Everyone who has committed or is committing crimes that local district attorneys in places like New York City, Philadelphia and Los Angeles don’t feel like prosecuting.

• Medical professionals who perform gender-transition surgery on those too young to give consent.

• The federal government teams at Ruby Ridge or the Branch Davidian ranch near Waco, Texas.

"So, it turns out that quite a few people are above the law.

"Maybe everyone who is busy telling us no one is above the law have other folks in mind."

Apparently, Not All Black Lives Matter

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)

But media coverage that reflected reality wouldn't keep the nation in a panic over the imaginary scourge of white supremacy. Bashing whites is more soul-satisfying than treating black people like adults. Also, ginning up black hatred of whites helps create more exciting crime stories for journalists to report!

"Let's be honest: As far as the media are concerned, most black lives don't matter. Only in the tiny, infinitesimally small percentage of cases when a black person is killed by a white guy do the media sit up and take notice.

"Thus, while there was blanket coverage of a white racist 21-year-old (mentally ill, it hardly needs mentioning) who killed three black people in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, the families of Khaaliq Williams, 16, Hamza Ali Omar, 18, Allan Howard, 34, Ashuntice Wilburn, 17, RayJohn Harshaw, 14, and Brandon Hatcher Jr., 24, mourned alone.

"Those are just some of the black Chicagoans murdered two weekends ago in one single city in an area comprising about 14 square miles.

"Am I cherry-picking by going back two weeks? No, I just wanted to wait for more information on some of the murdered black people whose deaths the media weren't interested in covering.

"The wildly atypical killing in Jacksonville has already generated hundreds of thousands of stories on Google. The New York Times alone has run about dozen stories on those three black victims -- with more to come!"...

Joe Biden: Stupid Or Liar? Well, he IS a 21st Century Democrat.

 Biden Reportedly ‘Fumed’ About Being ‘Treated Like a Toddler’ by Staff (freebeacon.com)  "President Joe Biden reportedly complained to friends that his staff "treated him like a toddler," according to a new book on the Biden administration.

"Rather than owning his failure, he fumed to his friends about how he was treated like a toddler. Was John Kennedy ever babied like that?" reads the new book, The Last Politician by Atlantic writer Franklin Foer. The incident was reportedly provoked by staffers at the White House who immediately walked back a comment Biden made in March 2022, when he said Russian president Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power."

"The book claims Biden "resented his aides for creating the impression that they had cleaned up his mess." . . .

Poll: Americans Know Biden Is Too Old, Slow, and Stupid to Be President (townhall.com)  . . ."‘I’m Joe Biden. I’m a Democrat. I’m right. It’ll all sort out.’ That’s the mindset of this man. Inflation is transitory. Remember that one? He can’t do the job. He’s lost. He can’t create any more task forces—he already has several of them. None of them have done anything. It reinforces the notion that the adults are not in charge. The White House is a nursing home. And gross incompetence is pervasive within the walls of this administration. Gas prices are through the roof, inflation is killing American families, job growth is anemic, and the economy shrank last quarter. It’ll shrink next quarter which means we're officially in a recession. We’re already in it, but I just want to see the liberal media sweat trying to defend a recession as a Biden accomplishment. And now, majorities of Americans see Biden as too old and slow to be president. He’s also too stupid (via National Review):. . .

Joe Biden: Stupid Or Liar? (townhall.com)   . . ."Those are unlikely. As I pointed out at the time, Barack Obama had the exact same situation in regards to Benghazi – he was either lying or had a direct order ignored by the military when he said in an interview that his first action upon hearing the attack was to order everything be done to protect those in Libya. Since no help was sent, either he was lying or someone disobeyed a direct order from the President and cost Americans their lives. There was never any follow-up, and we still don’t even know where Obama physically was during the attack.

"That leaves us to wonder under Biden, just as we did under Obama, is the President of the United States stupid or a liar? Or, more accurately, which combination of both is it?"

This Is Just A Preview Of How The Dishonest Media Will Lie And Mislead About Trump’s Show Trials

 Quotes and summaries reported by the media are always either half wrong or deliberately misleading. The Trump trials will be the same.

This Is A Preview Of How Media Will Lie About Trump's Show Trials (thefederalist.com)

. . .A perfect example of that truism was provided this week by Axios’ Mike Allen, who claimed Monday that Georgia Democrat prosecutor Fani Willis included an “Easter egg” in her I’m-a-very-serious-lawyer indictment. Allen said that a specific portion of the documents had “a twist” that “could spoil” Trump’s legal team’s effort to have the entire case moved to federal court, a move that could possibly secure him a more favorable jury (as opposed to the pool of “marginalized, underserved and disadvantaged” voters he would surely get in Fulton County).

"That “twist” is an open letter Trump sent to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in September 2021, which was after the former president was out of office, thus supposedly undercutting the Trump team’s assertion that the criminal charges are purely federal in nature, rather than addressable at the county court level. In that letter, the indictment notes, Trump solicited Raffensperger to “unlawfully” undo the 2020 election outcome “and announce the true winner.”  "Here’s that portion of the indictment in full: 

Suicide DISCOVERY - White House refuses to admit it

  American Wire News  Suicides by women in Afghanistan are skyrocketing according to a new report that has come out a year after President Biden catastrophically pulled US forces from the country handing it over to the Taliban.

"The despair of Afghanistan women suffering under the deadly oppression of the Taliban is palpable to all women and it should bring great shame to the Biden administration.

"One young woman was kept from becoming a doctor and then was forced into a marriage with her cousin who was a heroin addict. She felt she had nothing left to live for and proceeded to take her own life in a country where more women than men commit suicide.

“ 'I had two options: to marry an addict and live a life of misery or take my own life,” the 18-year-old stated during a phone interview from her home in central Ghor province with The Guardian. “I chose the latter.” . . .

KJP: The misinformers yell loudest about misinformation

There was never any evidence Trump colluded with the Russians but the media continuously used Adam Schiff as a source to spread misinformation.

Jack Hellner - American Thinker   . . ."The media colluded with Democrats to challenge the 2016 election and call Trump an illegitimate President but now they act like anyone challenging an election is a threat to democracy.

The media colluded with Fauci and others to block an investigation of the Wuhan lab as the source by falsely calling it a disproven conspiracy theory. They sought to silence those who disagreed with government talking points and edicts.

"The media participated in spreading the “hands up don’t shoot” lie to gin up racial hate, division, and violence against white cops. How many cops have been injured or killed because of that intentional lie?

"The media has allowed Biden and others to lie for years about what Trump said in Charlottesville in order to perpetuate the lie that Trump is a racist. They know that Trump repeatedly denounced white supremacists and Nazi’s but don’t care. The media and other Democrats always play the race card because they don’t want to defend their unpopular policies.

"The media, especially the WaPo, sought to destroy Judge Kavanagh with unverified accusations. There was not one ounce of evidence showing this was true but the media and other Democrats didn’t care. They are the party of personal destruction. They seek to destroy anyone who gets in their way whether the people are black like Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott or women like Sarah Palin or Kari Lake or an orange man like Donald Trump. All that matters is that they are conservatives or Republicans.

"The WaPo even sought to destroy Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. They were accused of being racists. There were videos showing the allegations weren’t true, but the truth hasn’t mattered for a long time." . . .

Native Americans - Indians- outraged by Washington Commanders staffer’s insult

"The Native American Guardians Association, the group that launched a viral petition to restore the “Washington Redskins” nickname, was blasted as a “fake group” by a Washington Commanders representative.

"That insult has members outraged.

“ 'We’re not a fake group. We’re tribal-enrolled members from tribes across the United States,” Eunice Davidson, co-founder and president of the nonprofit Native American Guardians Association (NAGA), told Fox News Digital.

"Davidson calls herself a “full-blooded Dakota Sioux.” She told Fox News the petition to restore the Redskins game has close to 128,000 signatures as of Aug. 28.
