demoncrat's new theme song: Turn Out the Lights (The Party's Over)

Black voter approval of Trump hits 45%

President Trump's approval rating among likely voters reached its pre-coronavirus high of 52% on Friday, including an astonishing 45% of blacks, according to Rasmussen's daily presidential tracking poll.

Rasmussen had Barack Obama at 47% approval at the same point in his presidency. And Obama and George W. Bush were both under 51% approval on the day they won...

... A poll released Aug. 31 by a separate company, Zogby Strategies found one in five likely black voters supporting President Trump....

This is the reason the demoncrats already outrageous campaign tactics rose to hysterics this week. Because their strategery is so entrenched in identity politics that if the opposing candidate gets more than 10% of the black bloc vote, ... they lose.

Sorry so long but this is a really good article.

The Deeply Pessimistic Intellectual Roots of Black Lives Matter, the '1619 Project' and Much Else in Woke America

... CRT [Critical Race Theory] has long been denounced as simplistic, dogmatic, fatalistic, and toxic – a cult of victimhood that embraces racial conflict as inevitable. As black Harvard University law professor Randall Kennedy wrote in an early critique in 1989, chief among CRT’s “baneful notions is the belief that race is destiny,” which leads adherents to play up their racial oppression as a coveted badge of moral authority.

A new book, “Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity-- and Why This Harms Everybody,” warns that critical race theory, along with similar theories promoting other marginalized identities, is a surefire formula for fomenting balkanization and social conflict.

“Critical race theory’s hallmark paranoid mind-set, which assumes racism is everywhere, always, just waiting to be found, is extremely unlikely to be helpful or healthy for those who adopt it,” the book states. “Adherents actively search for hidden and overt racial offenses until they find them, and they allow of no alternative or mitigating explanations.”

“One could be easily forgiven … for thinking that critical race theory sounds rather racist itself, in ascribing profound failures of morals and character to white people,” assert the co-authors, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, whose campaign against activist scholarship has of what they call grievance studies...

... In critical race theory, racism is not a local variant of the ancient practices of caste or slavery, but something new in the world that was born with European imperialism, colonialism, capitalism and rationalism. Racism is understood not a smattering of intentional acts of bigotry, but as an entire system that runs on auto-pilot and operates imperceptibly to whites who are punch-drunk on the myths of color-blindness and individual achievement...

... “Their philosophy is in some ways a form of psychosis because it’s not wedded to the real world,” said Jason Hill, a professor of philosophy at DePaul University and author of “We Have Overcome: An Immigrant’s Letter to the American People.”

“They want to recreate a freaking drama that doesn’t exist,” said Hill, a black Jamaican immigrant who has taught CRT and considers himself an independent conservative. “They have to reenact a medieval morality play and cast a set of demonic characters versus iconic innocent characters, and replay the whole thing over and over again.”

Hill and other critics warn that CRT represents a dangerous return to age-old tribal hatreds that are rationalized by self-serving us-versus-them mythologies of moral purity and intellectual superiority. Where critical race theorists depict the Western Enlightenment as the ultimate oppression narrative, CRT’s foes uphold Western values as humanity’s best, if imperfect, hope for progress.

“What bothers me about the talk of white privilege is that it’s used as a kind of leverage to induce shame and guilt in white people,” Hill said. “It’s really a form of white annihilation. It’s really saying to white people: By virtue of your whiteness you need to die a certain kind of social death for me to prosper.”

Without understanding CRT’s assault on liberalism, one might miss the literal significance of the author’s claim in “White Fragility” that “white progressives cause the most daily damage to people of color.” Or the claim in “How to Be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi, the director of Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research: “The most threatening racist movement is not the alt right’s unlikely drive for a White ethnostate but the regular American’s drive for a ‘race-neutral’ one.”...

... "If you talk to a lot of white people today, the thing white people are most afraid of is being called a racist,” said Hughey, who is white. “They are not afraid of living in a segregated neighborhood, sending their child to a segregated school, or doing the thing that exacerbates racism, but being called the thing.”

Wilfred Reilly, a CRT critic who is black and teaches political science at the historically black Kentucky State University, said the income gap between blacks and whites nearly disappears when adjusted for such variables as age, region, education level and home life.

Furthermore, the single-bullet theory of systemic racism falls apart because many non-white ethnic groups out-perform whites economically, said Reilly, who is author of “Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War.” Reilly said residual racism is a factor in American society but only one of many factors, not the sole or biggest one determining a person’s fate....

Strzok suggests Steele dossier contained 'bullshit' and 'disinformation'

Fired FBI special agent Peter Strzok tried to distance himself from British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s dossier, critiquing some of the former MI6 agent’s anti-Trump election reporting while criticizing those he saw as using its weaknesses to undermine the Trump-Russia investigation.

Strzok, who was a key member in the FBI’s investigation into both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s improper private email server and Crossfire Hurricane’s Trump-Russia inquiry, made the comments during an interview with Anne Applebaum of the Atlantic.

“The Steele report was a problem for the investigation because it sent people off on a series of wild-goose chases,” Strzok said, adding, “the report was very typical of information that the FBI often receives. It comes from several sources, including some suspect sources. Some of it is bullshit, and some of it is rumor, and some of it is disinformation.”...

(emphasis added)

Strzok is one of the cast members in Obamagate who most desperately needs to serve a long stint in SuperMax.

**Beetlegeuse** · 09-06-2020, 10:37 PM

Something else occurs to me about the level of the demoncrat's desperation at the prospect of a Trump landslide re-election.

They're counting on a President Biden to give them a gazillion federal dollars to repair the damage they were complicit in incurring. And if I were Trump, when they came poor-mouthing to me asking for reconstruction money after my re-election, I'd tell them to go pound sand up their asses.

But Trump (unlike me) isn't the vindictive sort. He's the consummate deal-maker. And a very well-read man. I see much in him that comes from the writings of Julius Caesar. And Sun-Tzu.

For instance, his objective at every bargaining session is for everybody at the table to leave with something they can claim as a victory. Nobody goes home skunked, everybody goes home with something -- no matter how small -- to brag about. Which is the CEO's version of Sun Tzu's "Always build your enemy a golden bridge to retreat upon."

Nobody ever leaves Trump's bargaining table empty-handed.

And last night it hit me. Trump won't withhold the federal aid to these dumbasses, in fact he's sure to give it to them ... but only contingent on them dismantling their corrupt and feckless infrastructure. Apply his strength -- the federal treasure chest -- against their weakness. They're fucking broke.

Right. Trump is never holding a grudge? I would think you were joking but looking at your posts that are highly dubious. No, Trump, he is a good samaritan.

Trump a well-read man? The guy does not even read the security briefing he gets. I find it fascinating that your impression of this guy is so dramatically different from mine. Of course, asking you to see anything beyond each issue as black and white (based on your post history) would seem pretty futile.

Kayleigh Mcenany NUKES Entire Media Establishment During FIERY, But Mostly Peaceful Press Conference

**Beetlegeuse** · 09-07-2020, 03:46 PM

The Atlantic Hit Piece on DJT Is a Hint of Democrats’ Orwellian Future

The Atlantic hit piece on President Donald Trump last week used four anonymous sources to allege that he had disparaged dead World War I soldiers two years ago. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin then claimed to have “confirmed” parts of the story — though not its main allegation — based on two anonymous sources.

The entire story failed to meet basic journalistic standards. But it is a sign of things to come — particularly if Democrats win in November, which is the Atlantic‘s goal.

Two, or even four, anonymous sources can be used to claim absolutely anything. The Atlantic described them as “four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day.”

Notably, we are not told that they personally heard Trump say what the Atlantic alleges he said — they just have “knowledge of the discussion.” Someone who has “knowledge” of a discussion is a second-hand source, or worse. The point is there is no way to know if the sources are credible, or if the story is just made up.

It turns out that we do actually have some very good historical sources that dispute the Atlantic story. These include the 11 eyewitnesses who have gone on the record to deny the president said what the Atlantic alleged, but they also include other sources.

The Atlantic‘s claim, for example, that the president avoided a trip to a military cemetery because he did not want his hair to get wet is refuted by government documents and even by the unfriendly memoir of former aide John Bolton.

And yet much of the media ran with the story anyway — unchastened by the recent history of other “confirmed” stories, like the Russia “dossier.”

In 2018, NBC falsely reported that President Donald Trump had become the first president since 2002 not to visit the troops at Christmas. It then turned out Trump was in Iraq with the troops.

In that spirit, NBC’s White House correspondent, Peter Alexander, asked the president on Friday — in the Oval Office — to “apologize” to soldiers and veterans.

Alexander reported on MSNBC shortly thereafter that whether the story is true or not, it “resonates.” Former Vice President Joe Biden said much the same in his press conference that day, citing Trump’s joke at John McCain’s expense in 2015. (Few bothered to remember that McCain attacked Trump first — and Trump supporters — saying that Trump had “fired up the crazies” in the Republican Party.) There was no actual proof — just partisan prejudice, clearly based on political bias.

A report in the Wall Street Journal showed how it is simply impossible to report the Atlantic story without repeating the lie, thereby ingraining it further into the public imagination. “Trump Denies Report He Disparaged Military,” the headline read. The lede paragraph, reporting Trump’s denial, had to repeat the allegations.

The media “fact-checkers,” who meticulously document every inaccurate Trump statement (or politically incorrect opinion), were somehow absent when a real lie arrived.

In 1942, George Orwell wrote:

Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’.

Orwell would later develop this insight in his novel 1984, where the ruling party rewrote history as needed for its interests. “Who controls the past controls the future,” he wrote.

Orwell’s warning is particularly relevant as America confronts a wave of fake news, and an assault on history — not just statues and symbols, but on the teaching of history itself.

The New York Times, supposedly the “paper of record,” won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism this year for the lead essay in the “1619 Project,” even though it had to be corrected after historians said its central contention — that slavery motivated the American Revolution — was wrong.

The 1619 Project is being used to develop school curricula, and has given its name to the ongoing “racial justice” riots. The people who will teach the history of this period have already classified these conflagrations as “mostly peaceful” protests.

“In the last analysis our only claim to victory is that if we win the war we shall tell less lies about it than our adversaries,” Orwell wrote in 1944.

We may expect an Orwellian future if the Atlantic‘s tactics deliver victory to the left in November.

Report: No NFL Teams Called Kaepernick About a Job

According to a source to Pro Football Talk, no one has contacted Colin Kaepernick’s agents about signing their client to an NFL contract.

“Per a source with knowledge of the situation, there was some “fake” interest expressed immediately after Floyd’s death, seemingly out of guilt,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio . “There has been zero interest expressed as to Kaepernick ‘in months.’

Why the hell would they? He's as toxic as ebola. Wherever he goeth, racial discord surely followeth behind.

... Right now, Colin Kaepernick lives a charmed life of the occasional speaking engagement, running a social justice camp for kids, tweeting something insane on the 4th of July, and filming the occasional video for Nike....

Time has moved on but Krappernik has not, still milking the Racial Martyr scam for every kopec it's worth. Which apparently is still quite a lot because Nike is still paying him 7-figures annually for endorsement. Which should tell you that Nike is pone of those companies you can do without.

Not sure if Krappernik got the memo but Alex Haley's novel, Roots, originally was billed as historically based drama but in fact was entirely made up. So Kunta Kinte, just like the social injustices Krappernik claims to be championing, is entirely fictitious.

WHEC reporter Charles Molineaux was attacked and chased by a knife-wielding Black Lives Matter mob during "protests" on Sunday night in Rochester and yet his own news station ignored the incident and described the night's "protests" as "peaceful" on their front page.

Video shows Molineaux and his security guard getting attacked and called "Nazis" after apparently getting accused of being undercover cops.

An African-American man with a knife is seen running at them and threatening to stab them repeatedly, only backing down when Molineaux's security guard turns around to defend him with an expandable baton.

Excerpted from an excellent (and not overly-long) article
Desperately Derailing Donald

The effort to stop President Trump is growing comical.

By Victor Davis Hanson • September 6, 2020

ne always expects the media surprise leak of a purported hidden scandal as a presidential campaign winds down. Remember the last-minute “discovery” of George W. Bush’s undisclosed 24-year-old DUI arrest in 2000? Or the October 7, 2016 effort of the Washington Post to publish the hoarded 11-year-old “Access Hollywood” tape, just two days before Donald Trump’s second debate with Hillary Clinton?

We should expect lots of these “bombshells” and “walls are closing in” pseudo derailments. Except Trump has been the most widely investigated, probed, attacked, and smeared president in history. And so the scandal-field has pretty well been picked over, as those fired like Omarosa Manigault Newman, Anthony Scaramucci, John Bolton, and others have long ago more or less lectured us that Trump is nuts, crazy, dangerous, stupid, ignorant, and so forth.

In terms of bombshells, what does the Left do after the 2016 suit to decertify voting machines, the FISA court abuse, the effort to sabotage electors’ votes, the first impeachment drive, the Logan Act gambits, the Emoluments Clause joke, the 25th Amendment ruse, the Russian collusion hoax, the 22-month-asleep-at-the-wheel Mueller and his “all-stars,” Ukraine! Ukraine!, the second impeachment drive, and the 2020 trifecta of Trump as Typhoid Mary, Bull Connor, and Herbert Hoover?

The point is, in Jussie Smollett fashion, the demand for scandals is outrunning the supply and time grows short.

It’s no wonder that one of Joe Biden’s largest campaign contributors, billionaire Laurene Jobs of the Apple fortune, who owns most of The Atlantic, had the former Obama Administration Jeffrey Goldberg exhume a two-year-old and long-ago-refuted charge that President Trump did not wish to visit a U.S. military cemetery in France because he variously was afraid of the rain, that he would get his hair wet, and that he did not wish to celebrate “losers” and “suckers.” All this was from a left-wing media that not long ago damned a “militaristic” Trump for being infatuated with generals, and putting far too many in his White House, while needlessly spending billions on manpower and equipment to repair a military hollowed out by the Obama Administration....

Mr. Roland flips cars for a living. So he agreed to meet this man ...

... (whose name I will not mention) in a well-lit parking lot at 11pm on the 14th of August to view a Rav4 the young man claimed he had for sale.

Except the young man arrived claiming he had brought the wrong title, so he asked the couple to follow him to where he'd left it, which naturally was in a shady neighborhood.

It turned out the Toyota was stolen specifically to use as a lure and he murdered the Rolands.

This is the Rolands and their five children.

The five children now are orphans. The young man was arrested and charged with two counts of 1st-degree murder.

So why did the UK Daily Mail run full details of a story the major US news outlets overlooked?

So if America runs on White Privilege, why wasn't this story the lead in every news station and on the front page (with a 72-point banner headline) in every paper in the country?

Well, now he's beaten his white cellmate to death.

On top of that, the same day as this wackadoodle stabbed the autoparts guy, there was a similar incident in Colorado. Another BLM terrorist stabbed a random white guy while shouting "Black Lives Matter!" This one was so under-reported I only found out about it from from information contained in the story about wackadoodle #1 killing his cellmate.

Steele contact in Obama administration destroyed records

...Steele's primary and longtime contact inside the Obama State Department, Jonathan Winer, also destroyed records of the former British MI6 agent's contacts inside that federal agency, including many of the 100-plus unsolicited intelligence reports Steele provided the Obama administration.

"I destroyed them, and I basically destroyed all the correspondence I had with him," Winer is quoted as saying in a little noticed passage of the Senate Intelligence Committee's final report on the Russia collusion scandal.

Winer apparently destroyed the records at Steele's request, the report said...

... The missing documents create an evidentiary hole in the story of Steele's extensive contact at the Obama State Department, where he delivered through Winer a total of 120 reports on Russia and Ukraine policy matters that reached as high as Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Secretary of State John Kerry....

Pittsburgh police investigating after viral videos of protesters and Downtown diners

On Tuesday, the city's public safety department said the "actions of a few protesters last weekend" were unacceptable.

Though it was unclear what specific actions they were referring to, the release included a quote from Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich insisting that "people have the right to dine in public without being accosted and without vulgarities being thrown at them."

"What we saw this weekend was assault and battery," Mr. Hissrich said. "It was embarrassing. The vast majority of the protests in Pittsburgh have been peaceful, but this weekend was anything but peaceful.”

The department says police are working with partners in law enforcement -- including the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office -- to investigate and "[collect] video evidence and [attempt] to interview witnesses."

"If laws were broken, charges will follow," officials said.

The lard-assed Black Lies Matter terrorist (and at least one of her accomplices) who harassed an elderly couple at a Pittsburgh sidewalk restaurant and stole their beer is under investigation.

Meanwhile, the lard-ass pleads that it wasn't her fault. She wasn't the aggressor, she was triggered by three white guys shouting "Blue Lives Matter," but they looked like they could defend themselves so Liddle Miz Orca decided instead to pick on an elderly couple in retaliation.

The right to free speech IS NOT the right to be heard. You do not have the RIGHT to force someone to listen you, no right to invade their personal space and scream in their face.

First off, none of the so-called sources will go on the record. Goldberg laughingly claims they are worried about mean tweets. My guess is that they are worried about a libel suit.

Secondly, everyone who was there and willing to go on the record, says it’s a lie....

James Wood re-posts video demonstrating stupidity of Biden's "Shoot them in the leg" crack

Twitter video (follow the hot-link in the headline to watch). Cop A fires seven shots at a perp (while backing up as perp stalks him) to no effect. Then the perp pursues and attacks Cop B, is on him before he can clear leather and wrestles him to the ground, forcing Cop A to fire another four shots, neutralizing the perp.

Biden was an idiot before even the dementia set in.

And oh by the way, this study (published by the National Institute of Health) found that the mean survival period for the 371 people studied who were diagnosed with dementia after age 75 was 2.6 years. And Biden is 77.

Two-point-six years should suit the demoncrats' schedule perfectly. They want to wait until at least 20 January 2023 to invoke the 25th Amendment and have Biden removed from office (for incapacitation) because of the term limits also codified in the 25th Amendment. If Komrade Kommiemala only serves as POTUS for the second half of Biden's term, she remains eligible to stand for election twice more, potentially serving a total of 10 years (minus a day or two) as POTUS. But if Biden is removed on or before the 19th, Harris would only be eligible to stand for election as POTUS once.

The whole story is lies (except the parts that are bullshit)

On-the-record sources, paper trail rebut anonymous claims Trump disrespected American war dead

A growing list of senior officials traveling with President Trump in 2018 as well as official Navy documents rebut "The Atlantic" magazine's anonymously sourced claims about a canceled presidential visit to an American World War I cemetery in France.

A growing list of government heavyweights traveling with President Trump in 2018 as well as official Navy documents rebut "The Atlantic" magazine's anonymously sourced claims about President Trump skipping a visit to an American military cemetery in France...

... [G]overnment documents obtained in a FOIA request by BuzzFeed shows the Navy canceled the troop cemetery visit due to rain.

"Regarding the lede of this story: I obtained documents from the Navy via #FOIA about Trump's 2018 trip to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris and the documents say his transport was canceled by the Navy due to rain," Jason Leopold, a senior investigative reporter for BuzzFeed, tweeted while linking to documents showing military officials refusing to support a helicopter flight due to inclement weather.

After his article was published, Goldberg himself even admitted he believed the President's account of why the cemetery trip was nixed. (emphasis added)

"I'm sure all of those things are true," Goldberg told CNN in an interview with CNN's "New Day" on Friday after he was asked about an account from John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser. Bolton wrote in his recent book "The Room Where it Happened" (which is otherwise highly critical of Trump) about the helicopter trip being cancelled due to rain and the ground transportation options being curtailed due to traffic constraints that would be placed on the French people...

... "I didn't hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them," Bolton told John Roberts of Fox News. "I was there at the point in time that morning when it was decided that he would not go Aisne-Marne cemetery. He decided not to do it because of John Kelly's recommendation. It was entirely a weather-related decision, and I thought the proper thing to do."

Bolton belongs to a much longer list of current and former government officials, many of whom were with the president at the time, who have now spoken out on the record either to factually refute The Atlantic's claims or attest that they are wildly out of character. Some of those public rebuttals follow below:

Trump advisor Derek Lyons: "I was with the President the morning after the scheduled visit. He was extremely disappointed that arrangements could not be made to get him to the site and that the trip had been canceled. I have worked for the President for his entire administration. One of my responsibilities is working with him on the many letters he signs to the families of our nation's fallen heroes. In all my time at the White House, I have never heard him utter a disparaging remark, of any kind, about our troops. In my view, he holds the brave men and women of our armed forces in the highest regard."

U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco Jamie McCourt: "In my presence, POTUS has NEVER denigrated any member of the U.S. military or anyone in service to our country. And he certainly did not that day, either. Let me add, he was devastated to not be able to go to the cemetery at Belleau Wood. In fact, the next day, he attended and spoke at the ceremony in Suresnes in the pouring rain."

Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino: "I was with POTUS in France, with Sarah, and have been at his side throughout it all. Complete lies by 'anonymous sources'…"

Trump Senior Advisor Stephen Miller: "The President deeply wanted to attend the memorial event in question and was deeply displeased by the bad weather call."

Former presidential advisor Johnny DeStefano: "I was on this trip. The Atlantic bit is not true. Period."

Former Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Walsh: "I can attest to the fact that there was a bad weather call in France and that the helicopters were unable to safely make the flight. Overall, the President's support and respect for our American troops, past and present, is unquestionable."

Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders: "I was actually there and one of the people part of the discussion — this never happened."

Former Deputy Chief of Staff Zach Fuentes: "I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather."

Maj. General (Ret.) William Matz: "No one has done more for our veterans than President Trump, and he enjoys a relationship of mutual affection and honor with those who wear and have worn the uniform of the United States military and their families. Those who know President Trump know that the anonymous smears peddled by The Atlantic have no basis in fact or reality, and do a terrible disservice to journalism and to our veterans, living and deceased."

Secretary Of Defense Mark Esper: "President Trump has the highest respect and admiration for our nation's military members, veterans and families. That is why he has fought for greater pay and more funding for our armed forces."

Secretary Of State Mike Pompeo: "I've been with this president now for coming on four years. I've never heard the president use the language that assertively is said in that article."

Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie: Denied ever hearing President Trump make such remarks: "Absolutely not."

Deputy Chief of Staff Tony Ornato: Denied the Atlantic's story.

Lt. General and National Security Advisor to Vice President Pence Keith Kellogg: "The Atlantic story is completely false. Absolutely lacks merit. I've been by the President's side. He has always shown the highest respect to our active duty troops and veterans with utmost respect paid to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and those wounded in battle."

Former Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney: "I never heard the President disparage our war dead or wounded. In fact, the exact opposite is true. I was with him at the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy. As we flew over the beaches by helicopter he was outwardly in awe of the accomplishments of the Allied Forces, and the sacrifices they paid."

If anybody (else) is counting, that makes the score Trump: 16, lying demoncrats: 0.

BIG LIES MATTER

Democrats hoped to use anti-police riots after George Floyd’s death to shore up the black vote. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison led the effort by hiding the truth about what really happened.

By Bill Thomas • September 10, 2020

Americans were horrified by the video of George Floyd dying under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer in May. Many supported protesting police brutality against blacks, thinking the cops in Floyd’s case must have broken every rule in the book.

What few people knew at the time is that Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison, former six-term congressional Democrat and deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, deliberately withheld video evidence that exonerates the police and, had it been made public, might have prevented a wave of anti-police murder and mayhem from sweeping the country.

Floyd’s death on May 25 was captured on a bystander’s cellphone video. But another, much longer video, taken by a police body camera and kept from public view for over two months, shows events involving Floyd and the police in a very different light.

For one thing, in the body-cam video Floyd, who had ingested a potentially lethal overdose of fentanyl, is seen repeatedly resisting arrest; for another, officers are shown following official guidelines in Minneapolis Police Department training material for handling someone in Floyd’s condition.

The neck restraint that shocked viewers when the cellphone video went viral is a standard law enforcement technique for handling suspects exhibiting symptoms of drug-induced delirium, as Floyd was.

Yet not a single city official, from the Democratic mayor of Minneapolis to the 13-member Democrat-dominated city council, was honest enough to tell the public that police officers taking George Floyd into custody were carrying out procedures taught by the city’s own police department and approved by the city government....

Democrats have a plan: threaten their way into the White House

... A coalition of influential progressive groups—including the SEIU, AFT, Color of Change, Indivisible, MoveOn, and Demos—is organizing, the Daily Beast reports, for "mass public unrest": "Occupy shit, hold space, and shut things down, not just on Election Day but for weeks."

Only a fool would think that this "nonviolent civil disobedience" will stay nonviolent after a summer that's seen over 500 riots across the nation. In 2000 we had the Brooks Brothers riot; in 2020, Democrats are promising the real deal.

There's a reason these "secret" plans were revealed in painstaking detail to a sympathetic outlet, one that would repeat fever dreams about "MAGA violence after election day." It's the latest example of the left's campaign of extortion: If you want the protesting, rioting, and murder wave to end, all you have to do is hand Joe Biden a landslide...

... Democrats have every reason to gin up this and other "election day nightmares," because their electoral strategy is to use these as an excuse to threaten more rioting in the streets—whatever they need to do to retake power....

This Obama-Biden Administration Failure Killed More Americans Than COVID-19

... The Veterans Affairs Department was notorious for its poorly managed health care system, and the Obama-Biden administration to end the horrendous backlog in VA benefits claims, some of which languished for years.

But the backlog of VA claims, which had been on the decline when Obama and Biden took office, skyrocketed on their watch. Unprocessed claims exceeded 900,000, with roughly two-thirds of all claims idling for 125 days or longer.

From 2011 to 2013, the time it took to process claims increased 40 percent, to an unthinkable 272 days. As a result of this backlog surge the number of veterans who died waiting for care and benefits skyrocketed.

And the Obama-Biden administration did nothing...

...Instead, more than 300,000 veterans died while waiting for care from Obama and Biden’s Department of Veterans Affairs, according to an Inspector General report released in September 2015.... (emphasis added)

GOP House members to DOJ: Investigate those behind 'destructive' city violence

'It is clear that these individuals are well-funded'

... The letter noted federal law makes it punishable by up to five years in prison to "incite a riot; organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or aid or abet any person in inciting."

"Tragically, we are seeing the letter and spirit of the law being desecrated on a daily basis, as Antifa and other organized groups of anarchists continue to infiltrate peaceful protests and launch violent attacks against American citizens," the letter said.

The rioters "use of military grade helmets, gas masks, protective vests, and illegal fireworks, clearly displays the high level of coordination and outside funding supporting these anarchist groups," they told the DOJ.

"The violence occurring in our cities cannot continue," the letter said, insisting on the prosecution of those responsible....

CNN, MSNBC ignore Trump's major Israel-Bahrain peace deal

The most-watched programs on CNN and MSNBC on Friday night completely ignored President Trump's foreign policy achievement of brokering a peace deal between Israel and Bahrain.

According to a formal statement issued by the U.S. and the two Middle East countries, they agreed to "the establishment of full diplomatic relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain."

“This is a historic breakthrough to further peace in the Middle East. Opening direct dialogue and ties between these two dynamic societies and advanced economies will continue the positive transformation of the Middle East and increase stability, security, and prosperity in the region," the statement said.

However, the major Middle East peace agreement received no mention during CNN and MSNBC's primetime shows....

Author of Dystopian Classics Predicted Face Masks to Enforce Conformity 70 Years Ago

Respected German author Ernst Jünger predicted the ubiquitousness of face masks to enforce conformity and uniformity in a dystopian future society in a novel called The Worker that was published nearly 90 years ago.

With face masks now becoming a mandatory part of the “new normal,” the enforcement measures to make people wear them, by both agents of the state and members of the general public, are becoming more dehumanizing and draconian.

This is precisely the scenario envisaged by enigmatic German author Ernst Jünger in his 1932 classic....

George Floyd Swallowed Drugs During May 2019 Arrest: Court Filing

... 1. The facts and circumstances of MP 2019-127538 from May 6, 2019. At that time Mr. George Floyd was engaged in the sale and possession of large quantities of controlled substances. When approached by police he placed drugs in his mouth in an attempt to avoid arrest, and swallowed them. When interacting with police he engaged in diversionary behavior such as crying and acted irrationally. An ambulance was called to transport Mr. Floyd to the hospital.

2. The facts and circumstances of Mr. Floyd's May 6, 2019 medical intervention at Hennepin County Medical Center for "accidental drug ingestion."

It goes without saying that, to demoncrats, this is what passes for "peaceful protest."

Black Lives Matter led to record number of mass shootings

The BLM riots are doing a lot more than terrorizing diners or burning down stores. The riots and movement are killing people.

... Mass shootings are rarely mentioned anymore even though there are more of them than ever.

A Washington, D.C., mass shooting at a cookout last month that wounded 20 people was treated as another local crime story. And there are a lot of these local crime stories as shootings rise.

New York City has blown past 1,000 shootings, of all kinds, individual and mass, Philly hit 1,300 and Chicago is approaching 3,000 shootings.

Three Democrat cities alone will soon account for some 5,000 shootings.

These are the kinds of numbers we used to see out of Iraq. Now we see them in America.

The Gun Violence Archive recently tweeted that it “had never totaled more than 60 mass shootings in a single month—it has now eclipsed that number for four straight months, and September is on pace to do the same.”

From 2014 to 2019, there was an average of 348 mass shootings. 2020 is far from over, but there have been 438 mass shootings, and the Gun Violence Archive estimates that the number will hit 590.

In just the first eight days of September, there were 21 mass shootings.

And these mass shootings are inescapably tied to the Black Lives Matter violence that crippled police, wrecked public safety and led Democrats to call for an end to cops.

Every full month in which BLM riots and rallies took place has recorded more mass shootings than the first three months of the year combined.

There were 25 mass shootings in January and 95 mass shootings in June, the first full month of BLM riots.

There were a total of 70 mass shootings in the first three months of the year and a total of 260 mass shootings in the last three months, which were filled with BLM violence.

Beyond the violence of the riots, which have included firebombs, shootings, stabbings and multiple assaults on police officers, random drivers, shopkeepers and anyone in the way, the Democrat political movement led cities to pull back police or tied up officers with the riots.

Gang members got the message and ramped up looting and territorial battles.

Between 2008 and 2018, murder was the leading cause for black men's deaths between the ages of 15 to 34 with over 55,000 dead. That’s over 10 times the numbers of U.S. casualties in Iraq....

Nine BLM protesters are issued summonses for trespassing at gun-toting St. Louis couple's home

* Nine protesters have been issued trespassing summonses for marching onto a private St. Louis street in June
* Mark and Patricia McCloskey pulled guns on the protesters and were both charged in July with unlawful use of a weapon
* The St. Louis City Counselor's office is still deciding whether to issue charges on the citations
* It wasn't clear why just nine of the estimated 300 protesters were issued summonses

Nine protesters have been issued trespassing summonses for marching onto a private St. Louis street in June, a demonstration that prompted a couple to emerge from their home with guns to confront the demonstrators.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey were both charged in July with unlawful use of a weapon in the case that landed them a spot at the Republican National Convention last month.

Police spokeswoman Evita Caldwell on Friday confirmed that nine protesters have been issued summonses but said the St. Louis City Counselor's office is still deciding whether to issue charges on the citations.

The Rev. Darryl Gray, who led the protest, called the citations an attempt to intimidate peaceful protesters.

Well, Rev. Darryl Gray, call it what you will, it's still THE GODDAM LAW ...

... and I think the gate put there to prevent riff-raff like these from entering the McCloskey's PRIVATE community would take issue with the "peaceful" part.

30 photos of weapons used by the peaceful Seattle protesters

Despite the best efforts of Progressive activists, claims that Seattle protests have been peaceful are easily dispelled with the amble video and photographic evidence showing the contrary. But criminal agitators and their enablers continue to push online propaganda.

Over the Labor Day weekend, a mob descended upon the Seattle Police Officers Guild building in SoDo. Some were armed at this “peaceful” Seattle protest. Indeed, there was a literal box of Molotov Cocktails that police confiscated before agitators used them against the building and police officers.

Nevertheless, propagandists online claim police cleared the mob with unwarranted aggression. They use selectively edited video to show cops as aggressors and the agitator mob as peaceful. The activist echo chamber then amplifies the lies to foment more anti-police hatred.

To combat the lies about peaceful protests in Seattle, I’ve compiled 30 photos of weapons and violence from the “Summer of Love” and into Labor Day.

Please review the photos and amplify this post by sharing on your social media accounts. Together, we can push back against the lies Antifa and other agitators are hoping to use to con the public.
