Douglas Murray blasts ‘endless persecution’ of Donald Trump

Douglas Murray blasts ‘endless persecution’ of Donald Trump (youtube.com)

"Author Douglas Murray has called out the “endless persecution” of Donald Trump. "Mr Murray joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss the former US president. “I do think it’s a kind of persecution,” Mr Murray said. “I have plenty of criticisms of Donald Trump. “But if you wanted to make sure he wasn’t elected again, then run a really good candidate against him.”

Biden, Schumer and the Plot to Overthrow Netanyahu

Democrats; These people are contemptible and growing more so daily. Had they ruled America during Hitler's time, I shudder to think what the outcome would have been, both for the conquered nations and for the Jews still alive at the end. Churchill would not been the beneficiary of an "Arsenal of Democracy" and may not have even been Prime Minister. As we witnessed in other German-conquered nations, a Nazi sycophant likely would have ruled the U.K. and a "Joe-Biden" the U.S. (Back then they were called "Quislings").

"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace and must be replaced. Is he alone among the U.S. government in his efforts to oust the premier? And is there cooperation from forces from within Israel to topple the elected government of Israel? I provide the answers on IN FOCUS."

Media Tailspin Continues As Public Trust In News Outlets Crumbles:

  Issues & Insights 

"As the American Council on Science and Health recently opined, “Reporters like to portray themselves as truth tellers who hold the powerful accountable. In reality, many of them are hired guns who publish propaganda under the guise of doing journalism. The good news is that a growing number of Americans are abandoning the legacy media for better sources of information.' 
Jim Acosta, CNN

 "Can the U.S. media ever reverse their reputation for dishonesty and bias and end their current tailspin? Given how the public currently views them, the answer is “not likely,” the latest I&I/TIPP Poll suggests.

"Each month I&I/TIPP Poll asks registered voters from around the country to gauge their trust in the major media that supply them with news, features and other information.

"Specifically, two questions were asked:

" 'Generally speaking, how much trust do you have in the traditional or established news media (Example: Washington Post, New York Times, NPR, CBS News, etc.) to report the news accurately and fairly?”

"And, “Generally speaking, how much trust do you have in the alternative news media (Example: New York Post, Washington Times, NewsMax, The Daily Caller, RealClearPolitics, etc.) to report the news accurately and fairly?”

"Responses to the first question make up the “Traditional Media Trust Index,” while answers to the second are included in the “Alternate Media Trust Index”; 1,419 Americans responded to the national online poll, which was taken from Feb. 28-March 1. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.

"How well are the media doing their job of informing Americans? Not very, voters overwhelmingly say. In fact, only one-third (34%) trust traditional media, and six in ten (61%) don’t. A third (32%) say they have “little trust,” and another 29% have “no trust at all.” . . .


Biden's Grand EV Plan Flatlines with Poor Supporting Infrastructure

 Breitbart

"President Joe Biden has set a goal of creating a national network of 500,000 publicly available electric vehicle (EV) chargers by 2030 as part of his grand all-encompassing climate agenda.

"Trouble is, despite the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program splashing taxpayer cash for the project just Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Hawaii have taken the trouble to oblige, AP reports.

"Easily accessible charging ports are a critical part of Biden’s mandate to force drivers away from gasoline-powered cars and trucks – whether they like it or not.

"The AP report notes that effort took on greater urgency last month as the Biden administration announced new automobile emissions standards that officials called the most ambitious plan ever to cut pollution from passenger vehicles.

"Meeting those standards would require a huge increase in sales of EVs and plug-in hybrids which are just not occurring.

"As part of the national charging station rollout signed into law in November 2021, the Biden administration awarded $623 million in grants to states, local governments and tribes in January." . . .

Biden Turns the Transgender High Holy Day Into a 'Look at Me' Moment

 

PJ Media

Don't forget that this is the president who has regularly otherized and insulted Republicans and conservative Christians who aren't down with his priorities. This is the administration that has weaponized the bureaucracy against pro-lifers and conservative Catholics as well as made repeated attempts to quell free speech. But it's the transgender crowd that Biden wants to assure that he is protecting.

"By now, we’re all aware that the White House managed to commit the most sacrilegious act imaginable — or at least made the biggest possible slap in the faces of Christians — by emphasizing “Transgender Day of Visibility” over Easter. While the holiday honoring our secular state religion of transgenderism is fixed on March 31, it could have and rightly should have taken a backseat to the moveable feast that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus.

"Instead, Joe Biden, his handlers, and the rest of his administration chose to double down on honoring a tiny minority of transgender Americans over the millions of Christians who celebrate Easter Sunday. The White House statement on Easter was only 94 words, while the proclamation of “Transgender Day of Visibility” clocked in at a whopping 635 words. On the president’s X/Twitter account, the “Transgender Day of Visibility” tweet was twice as long (45 words) as the Easter tweet (20 words).

"The proclamation (which we're supposed to believe is Biden's words) makes ridiculous statements like, “Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation.” It also falsely claims that states enacting laws preventing children from undergoing life-altering hormone treatments and surgeries “target and terrify transgender kids and their families.” To hear the White House tell it, keeping kids safe from making decisions they’re likely to regret denies people “the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child.” (And I thought this administration only cared about killing children.)" . . .

Damage Control: Now Biden Wishes Christians a Happy Easter  "statement from the White House was issued to that effect, saying the power of Christ’s Resurrection is honored in the observance of Easter:

Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.

As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.

From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you.

"That announcement was quickly followed on social media with Biden using his personal POTUS account on X – formerly known as Twitter – to repeat the message.". . .

Ronna McDaniel and the Peacock Network: UPDATED

"I think of commentators such as [the late] Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Harold Ford, and Jessica Tarlov. They All have represented the liberal viewpoint on Fox shows by assignment. Though the resulting arguments can be heated, these Democrats generally seem to be treated courteously by their fellow talent and are well-supported for book promotion and other outside projects. . . 

Ronna McDaniel and the Peacock Network - Henry F. Smith, Jr.   "Is there any rational person who still believes that the National Broadcasting Company is in any way a reliable source of news?

"The network of Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Harry Reasoner, Roger Mudd, and Tom Brokaw has now abandoned all pretense of impartiality. This is thanks to their atrocious treatment of former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel.

"It has been quite obvious that all of the original networks tilt to the Left and have done so quietly for many years if not decades. But NBC is unique in that it also produces MSNBC, an unabashedly leftist news/commentary product. Its commentators often move back and forth between the main network and the upstart. The hiring of Ms. McDaniel by NBC proper was probably considered a good move to maintain a thin veneer of bipartisanship.

"On the surface, she looked like a good fit. Though not openly disloyal to ex-president Trump, as the niece of NeverTrumper Mitt Romney, her loyalty to the party was suspect among some Republicans. Her failures in the 2020 and 2022 elections ultimately forced a change in party leadership more clearly aligned with the Republican nominee. As an NBC contributor, I think she would have probably felt comfortable offering both support and criticism to her party. This should be what the network would want.

"But then the wildly Left-leaning on-air talent at MSNBC had a “hissy fit” and demanded her firing. This was said to be due to her (tepid) support of President Trump's voter fraud claims for the 2020 election. The protesters included Chuck Todd, who is NBC’s “Chief Political Analyst” and the former host of that sacred bastion of impartiality “Meet the Press.” Good luck with getting any reasoned political analysis from NBC." . . .

MSNBC is Straight Up a Cult

The use of caricature, fear, an aversion to disobedient facts, and a strange common smugness create a well-defined but small and self-limited audience. It is a cult that thinks it is speaking to the nation. The weird thing is that a show in which articulate conservatives and non-zombie liberals conducted respectful, focused debates with informative interviews of real experts could probably double or triple MSNBC’s net audience in the evening slots; even allowing for the departure of most of their bubble-dwelling regulars, who would be triggered, offended and horrified. But there is a greater probability of LGBTQ+ concerns being debated on Saudi or Iranian news channels than such an event happening on MSNBC.

UPDATE: Mutiny on the MSNBC - Don Surber (substack.com)

. . ."The executive who hired Ronna overlooked the fact that while she worked against Trump’s election behind the scenes, she publicly praised him. As superficial as that was, the media is superficial. The Mutiny on the MSNBC delighted Trump supporters because we know what she didn’t do at the RNC — help Trump — and we know what Democrats plan to do to everyone: destroy us. Let her feel some of that pain first.

"She was done in by the presenters of the two MSNBC shows that attract an audience: Rachel Maddow’s at night and Joe Scarborough’s fare in the morning, which is prime time for news channels.

"That both shows are showcases for Democrats is no surprise because that drives audience numbers but most importantly to network executives the shows drive ideology. The morning show is to the Maddow show’s left and is so loyal to the Biden administration that it embarrasses the DEI hire that is Biden’s propagandist." . . .

And Joe Catholic will go to mass Sunday morning, rosary in hand, and take communion.

Joe Catholic strikes again - Silvio Canto, Jr.

. . ."Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans:  You are loved.  You are heard.  You are understood.  You belong.  You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back," it continued. "NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility."

"You have their back on Easter Sunday, don’t you Joe? 

"I mean, you couldn't wait another week or pick another day to show that you have their back. 

" I guess not.  It must be urgent! More urgent than Easter. 

"Before I forget, no religious references at Joe & Jill's party this year, either." . . .  


"Joe Biden just hit Christians with a one-two punch, turning their most sacred holiday, Easter, into a cruel joke. The first blow landed when his regime decided to drop all “religious” themes from an Easter egg decorating event. Seriously? What does the Biden team think Easter is all about, anyway? It seems like, in Biden’s eyes, it’s all about the “sacred” bunny.". . .

When he looks in the mirror, he apparently sees an upright Irish Catholic true to the historic values of his deeply rooted religious identity," Ruth Dudley Edwards wrote in the Telegraph. "He is, in fact, an appalling Catholic who publicly flouts the church’s most cherished teachings and is about as authentically Irish as a leprechaun hat in a St Patrick’s Day parade."

Happy Trans Day of Visibility

 The writer, Clarice Feldman, begins with the issue of "Transgender Sunday", but moves over to the case of Biden and the Democrats wanting to make the wake of the murdered police officer their own occasion. TD

Politically Incorrect Humor

Clarice Feldman "For those of you who celebrate this sacred day, Happy Easter. For those who don’t, most Americans appreciate that it is the holiest day of the year for you and treat it with civilized respect.

"To the President who claims he is a Catholic in good standing, it’s just another day to poke his fingers in your eyes." . . .

"New York governor Kathy Hochul apparently thought someone in her party ought to make an appearance at the wake and cover up the bad look. She showed up uninvited to the wake, perhaps to get a useful photo op. The family seems to have turned her away. In any event, she was there for only a few minutes, and the crowd, doubtless consisting in large part of his fellow officers, applauded what seemed to onlookers to be the family’s denying her further participation.

"According to Fox's Brian Kilmeade, Hochul also asked to speak at the funeral ceremony itself. Needless to say, she was turned down flat. (As was, believe it or not, Letitia James.)  

"Hochul followed up her disastrous appearance at the wake by ordering major state landmarks, including Niagara Falls and One World Trade Center, lit up in trans flag colors on Easter.

"Obviously, the wake presented problems for Democrats because it showed the consequences of their ridiculous no-bail and lenient sentencing policies:

The prime suspect in Diller’s murder -– 34-year-old Guy Rivera -- has at least 21 prior arrests and did a five-year prison stint. . . .

. . ." In truth, Democrats had to mostly ignore the wake, because to show up was to underscore the consequences of their pro crime policies and laws and the increasing justified concern of people about rising crime. But the proclamation remains a puzzlement to me -- did Biden think he had to insult Christians to gain the votes of Muslims in Dearborn? If so, are those same Muslims concerned about the lack of visibility of transgenders? Are there lots of transgenders sitting on millions of dollars to contribute to his campaign? Mostly I just think the White House is being run by leftist idiots."

‘Good’ Catholic Biden declares open war on Easter and the Bible - Andrea Widburg   . . ."But Biden isn’t content with mere symbolism. When it comes to Easter, this central Christian holiday, Biden wants to make sure that the White House celebration is unsullied by…Christianity. Thus, in the White House announcement for the art contest, the instructions are clear. No actual Easter iconography is allowed (emphasis added):" . . .

"But I never lose track of the fact that these sanitized, ecumenical holidays exist above a religious foundation. Apparently, though, that most Catholic of Catholic American presidents has forgotten that…or Biden agrees with Marx that the pathway to a utopia filled with human divinities is paved with the abandoned norms of the most prosperous, stable, accomplished culture in human history.

"(Now let’s see which norms he smashes for Ramadan…)"    We're waiting, Joe.

The White House is under fire after declaring Easter Sunday as "Transgender Visibility Day." It is a direct attack on the holiest day in the Christian faith.

“It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and declared Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility,'" Trump National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Todd Starnes Show.

 Outrage After Ilhan Omar Mocks Video Of Easter Celebration : AWM

"A viral video that has been making its way across social media has caused quite a controversy. The video depicted the moment a group of Christians was singing Gospel music “30,000 feet in the air” as part of their Easter celebration on Holy Saturday. Many people commented on the video and pointed to it as an example of how Christians are treated differently than people from other religions in the United States of America.

"Among those who had something to say about the singing Christians in the video was Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar, who is a Muslim, argued that if she was celebrating her religion like that in public, she would have been stopped." . . .

. . ."Meanwhile, a Republican from Minnesota named Cicely Davis, who is fighting other Republicans in the state’s GOP primary, claimed that it would be “no problem” for Muslims to openly pray on a plane mid-flight. She added that the issue was not with Muslims but with Omar specifically, writing, “the issue is you hate Christians & Jews & lots of Muslims.' ”

“ 'Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only—the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” she added.

The Ronna McDaniel Uproar Was Merely a Symptom, As an MSNBC Pundit Pushes Policing Late-Night Comedy

 Brad Slager – RedState

"First, understand that at MSNBC, it is a regular feature for the elitist pundits to declare to their unthinking audience all of the promised calamities Trump will deliver. He will assassinate his opponents. He will eliminate elections. He will end the Constitution and rule for life. He will arrest America's children and kill them."

"MSNBC continues to deal with the fallout from the collective emotional meltdown over the hiring of Ronna McDaniel. Just days after her announced addition to NBC News as a commentator, she was unceremoniously let go, the direct result of the cable news channel showing nearly all of its pundits coming forward with emotional commentary opposing McDaniel joining their ranks. It was ridiculously childish and embarrassingly hysterical.

"It was an all-day festival of wailing and pearl-clutching. The “Morning Joe” co-stars declared disapproval. Joy Reid arrived with her patented racial cant. Lawrence O’Donnell was confused, as he said he would not trust answers from Ronna, then announced a series of questions--after declaring she was not welcomed on the network. He then invited her on his show. (Larry, take a breath and get your thoughts straight, partner.)  

"Rachel Maddow spent half of her show railing over the decision, and Jen Psaki was oblivious to her recent resume while complaining that a political operative was hired. The best was Nicolle Wallace, who joined in with the therapy couch whining, and went so far as to describe the “sacred airwaves” of MSNBC. Seriously, she said this with a solemn expression. All of which was made even more hilariously asinine by one reality: MSNBC had already announced McDaniel was never going to appear on the network." . . .

. . ."He seriously wants to throw penalty flags on telling jokes, and is himself hilarious as a result. Then you see he is following the MSNBC mission statement of protecting Biden’s character -- and delivering the network’s trademarked conspiracy mindset in the process. Then he simply devolves into being merely sad and pathetic."
