COVID-1984

Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer

At first I wanted to give everyone involved in the insanity of the left regarding the Wuhan virus the benefit of the doubt, we didn’t know what this was, and we were trying to take precautions to prevent the spread of a virus we knew little about.  With the new data coming out, and the revelations of the WHO being an arm of the Chinese government, and the fact that none of the numbers can be trusted from government organizations I have thrown up my hands over the reaction to this pandemic.

I swear it’s like there is a contest among the elite to see what stupid things they can get their citizens to do using scare tactics and a complicit unquestioning media.  Whether it’s wearing hats with pool noodles attached to keep “social distance” or it’s walking in the equivalent of a baby stroller to go to a bar in Maryland, this is asinine and almost reads like a psychological operation to see just how much you can demean American citizens before they finally snap.  We know that the Democrat’s prospects in November are grim, which is evidenced by Joe Biden being kept in his basement unless he is appearing for a scripted, kabuki theater prop, but I never thought they would take advantage of a contagious virus and brazenly try to destroy the economy just to get "Their Guy" elected.  

Americans are trying to understand the absolute illogical implementation of these “lock-downs” that governors are imposing on their citizens.  Whether it’s that they had to close down their small business, yet hundreds of people can pile into your local Wal-mart every hour, or that you are told that you’re not an essential worker, but somehow the guy who sells weed at a dispensary is. Americans have been remarkably patient with the government in trying to help their fellow citizens, but the mask has come off and everyone can now see that the majority of panic porn coming from the mainstream media, and the continued extensions from liberal governors is obviously more a mea culpa over them telling everyone they will LITERALLY DIE if they go outside.


The reporting coming out today about Donald Trump taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative is proof positive that the liberal media will destroy any prospect of this ending unless it’s on their terms.  Not only have they found a vector to funnel billions of dollars into their liberal pet projects,  the “pandemic” is now an excuse to leverage big government against Americans for things like climate change and universal healthcare.  Military personal are given malaria drugs every time they deployed as an anti-viral, and as far as I know there's no media reports of deaths, or of hundreds of thousands of contractors who received the exact same medication for the exact same purpose, so the media can stop lying to the American people with what seems to be the intent of exacerbating the pandemic as much as possible.

Unfortunately, Americans have shown the Left a road map on how they can implement sweeping measures to try and inflict their political whims with little legislative process. We need to ensure that one of the lessons we learned from this pandemic is that any chance that the Left has to seize power and violate American’s civil liberties they will. We need to make sure that we don’t become accustomed to the government changing the American way of life, and then perpetually lying to our faces to try and keep us scared.

A Textbook Example of Tyranny

So Virginia introduces a bundle of radical laws to destroy 2nd amendment rights, militias, sale transfer and registration bills, and the People of Virginia says no, and we're going to vote you all out next term.

Virginia government responds by introducing a bill to eliminate voter ID.

Virginia says we're not going to wait, we'll petition your removal from office, and get almost a 3rd of the 240K signatures to remove the governor and starts petitions to remove delegates.

Virginia government responds by introducing a bill to raise the amount of signatures from 10% of the prevailing vote, to 25%.

Folks, this is the a textbook example of tyranny. "We're the government, and we'll do anything we want, whether you like it or not. We won't let you vote us out, we won't let you remove us from office.... And if you can't possess the weapons that a militia would need to force us out of office, then there's absolutely nothing you can do about it"

With good cause, and to counter the fake news media, I think it’s smart to verify what you say, so here are screenshots straight from the Virginia Legislative Information System:

...And to Them, You Are the Problem.


Herbert Marcuse and his gang of radical leftist/humanist pseudo-intellectuals knew exactly what they were doing. They knew you could not overthrow a free society by convincing the adults of their day to surrender their status quo and habits. So, they decided to invest in the children through education, media, and entertainment. Then, when the children became adults, they would reject the world of their parents and upend society for the radicals themselves. I give you the result:

The left is now living in some crazy high fantasy novel, where women have d**ks and pregnant men are on maternity leave from Victoria's Secret. The earth is to end in ten years, countries don't have borders, cops are villains and terrorist are religious scholars.

Poll Shows the “Racist” Charge is not Simply Policy, but Ingrained in the Democrat Party.

EARL DONE THIS

It stands to reason that when a party uses identity politics as its core belief system then the positioning of every issue as being racial will be held by growing numbers of members. While DJT's recent tweet-storm could be called ill-advised, the automatic charge of "racism" has raised some questions. To what race was he being intolerant?  Is merely having disagreeable words with select members enough to be constituted as "racist"?

For a large number of Democrats that answer is 'Yes'. Rassmussen just conducted a poll that showed a significant segment of party members consider merely being critical is enough to earn the accusation of intolerance. One-in-three Democrats polled think it’s racism any time a white politician criticizes a politician of color.

Note the significance here; it is not just racially-charged language, but any criticism is considered racist.

This reflects on what we have been seeing play out in the media for months now since the mid-term election. Anytime policy ideas have been challenged, or some of the many factual errors and false propaganda which these freshman members have put forth are pointed out, there has been a knee-jerk reaction that it is rooted in racism, or sexism, or both.

Tellingly, within this same poll it is seen that this tactic is not having the intended effect. Despite that emotionally-charged environment, the number of people who believed Trump to be racist actually dropped in comparison to a previous poll with similar questioning. The respondents were asked about these issues during the Democrat and media effort to establish Trump’s words were deeply racist. Yet while they loudly trying to sell the nation on this notion the result was fewer people believing he is racist, and more people seeing this as a purely political effort to smear him. That is a detail very few in the media are going to be pointing out.

AOC Suffers Third Degree Burns Over 90% Of Her Butt



ICE CAN BURN!

Much of the lackluster American intelligensia, or what passes for it, seems to have an inability to distinguish glib from intelligent (that’s how late night comedians became the thought leaders of the Democrat party). This is certainly the case with freshman communist Democrat Alexandria Ocashew-Cortex.

If any other human had uttered the patent nonsense that has emanated from this person’s mouth, they would have been given the Dan Quayle treatment long ago. But because of the effortless and pseudo-lucid way in which she spouts stunningly stupid statements, people claim she’s smart. Much of this is pushed by sexually frustrated hipsters who thing if they White Knight her that she may notice them. Seriously, when was the last time you heard a member of Congress praised for a high school science fair project? Or being called a “scholar” because you have a bachelor’s degree?

But what happens when she goes up against someone who actually understands the subject matter, who is smart, and who recognizes that AOC compares unfavorably to your random bag of clawhammers? We now have the answer to that. 

 I’m not going to give you a transcript of this because I want you to watch it.

Yes, Everything You Know Is Wrong.

 Social media, and the internet have helped to foster a cult of ignorance. 

We are witnessing an incredible accelerating wave of anti-rationalism and emotion over reason in public debate, and blurring of lines among fact and opinion and lies. Today, everyone knows everything. Today, it is absolutely true that all voices, even the most ridiculous are demanding to not only be heard but to be taken seriously, to be given equal seriousness to every other voice, regardless of the disparity in educational achievement. And attempts to verify or qualify the credibility of a person or group of people claiming to know things, are dismissed as hate-speech and/or fascism.

Tom Nichols, author of 'The Death of Expertise' has this to say:
"the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement."
We're seeing this everywhere. On college campuses, in political campaigns, in debates on cable news masquerading as journalism, where twenty-something “Experts” pontificate about subjects they know little about.  And it’s not only the death of expertise, as explained by Nichols, it is also the death of reasoned debate, and, ironically, it is the death of tolerance.

We are told we only have 12 years left until the world ends from climate change…if you disagree you are a climate denier.  We need to break our addiction to fossil fuels or our coastal cities will end up under water…if you disagree you are anti-science.  

If you oppose abortion you hate women and obviously want to rule over them....If you oppose higher taxes you’re anti-government and want potholes, dirty air, and anarchy....If you support a secure border you’re not only xenophobic, you hate brown people.....If you are against Socialism you know nothing about Sweden and of course, you hate poor people… If you support Capitalism, you’re obviously against the environment and hate poor people.…

If you wear a “Make America Great Again” hat, you hate blacks, women, Mexican, gays and you want to bring back Jim Crow, back-alley abortions, and slavery….If you support DJT you are a sexist, bigot and a fascist who hates democracy and the rule of law… If you oppose gender-neutral bathrooms, you clearly hate transgender people…etc, etc,etc.

Remember, everything is right until it’s wrong. Believe me. You can take it to the bank......

And They Wonder Why No One Watches. CNN to Host James Comey Town Hall to Mark 2 Years Since His Firing

It's been reported that CNN’s prime-time ratings dropped a whopping 26 percent in April compared to last year, according to Nielsen Media Research, a decrease marking its lowest-rated month in total viewers since October 2015.

So, their answer to this bad news? Let's have another one of our prime-time, high production, scripted with predetermined questions, phony Town Halls that no one will watch.

The quickly sinking news network announced Gloria Vanderbilt's precious son Andy will host disgraced former FBI director James Comey on May 9th town hall, which just happens to be the second anniversary of his firing by DJT.  Now I'm not really sure why they think anyone would want to listen to Comey, unless this is another one of CNN's goofy ways of inserting themselves into a story as if they are actually doing real journalism, or just trying to capitalize on the publicity of Comey's recent bazaar little Op-ed trashing AG Barr and DJT in the NYT's.

After good pre-order sales of Comey's book, released only a couple of weeks ago, the sales have nose dived into the realm of run of the mill romance novels and Sci-Fi fiction releases, and poorly attended book signs. Comey's op-ed was a grasp at remaining relevant. It's puzzling to me what Comey could say now that he hasn't already said, or why CNN programmers think anyone would care if he did. Makes you wonder if CNN's reputation is so bad now they've resorted to recruiting  from high school yearbook staffs.

Same Maoist, Different Wardrobe


Some have yet to realize they are trapped in a Reeducation Camp.  It's been another week reading and hearing the bizarre stories in the media of caustic politics and the cultural decline of contemporary America. The once respected media has firmly taken the lead from academia and hollywood intellectuals to tell us in their "unbiased" presentations that we are wrong, racist, misogynist, sexist, stupid. Like in the movie “Groundhog Day” we wake up, realize the day is going just like yesterday, try to have the right responses to change the situation only to wake up the next day and everything is exactly like it was the day before. We see the same things, hear the same messages, get accused of the same crimes against humanity.

It hits me that the repetitive lunacy is not a bug, it’s a feature. Actually THE feature. We’re in a reeducation camp, except the Mao’s running this operation boldly enacted an improvement. Instead of rounding us up and bringing us in for our reeducation, they send out the reeducation to us. At school. At work. In our “news”. In our sports pages. In our music. In commercials. In our movies. All the great soul-breaking repetition of the evil messages, without the need to cover room and board. Genius. In the end there is a good long list of truths you had better accept, and you are just not “getting the message.” Their demonic plan is to hit you with this repeatedly until you absorb it and believe it, or die off shunned and mocked. Sadly, the latest generation is already owned.

According to our betters: 
Some people are really smart, you are not one of them. The smart people are a subset of leftists (by definition). They should be empowered to run things.  You should stand down like an obedient citizen for your own good and for the good of those around you. 
There is no God, or if there is, he is a leftist (by definition) a female, or gay, or black, or all three. We humans don’t need one in any case because we are really awesome! People are basically good, especially when we “tell truth to power". And so She wants us to decide what is true and what is not and to question any authority outside ourselves. But not the authority of ourselves and to follow our hearts. 
Everybody has a right to stuff. Lots of it. Except people who have stuff. Women are better than men. Men are so “last millenium”. They are also evil and lazy, and stupid, unless they are men who dress up and pretend to be women, or are submissive to their betters (women). 
Police are evil. Government is good. Where government has a problem it is that they don’t have enough funding, so it’s patriotic to tax tax tax, because they have to fight against neanderthals like you. There are so many of you. 
The more that you are seen or heard on TV, the wiser you are. Your betters should be judged within the context of all the good that they do.  You should be judged “guilty“. The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is an opinion of paranoid racist xenophobe haters. You should give up food other than “Bio Spooge” to save the planet. You should give up water, heat, cars, and any concept of personal space to save the planet.
Citizens, you must do your part and “get with this program.”

Spartacus Booker: "17-Year Olds Too Immature to Be Held Accountable for Actions"

Senator Spartacus (D-NJ)

Well this is interesting. While attacking Brett Kavanaugh, Senator Booker is sponsoring legislation that proposes letting juvenile offenders off the hook. (this is to gain minority favor and yes he is running for president). As all the the world knows by now, Judge Kavanaugh stands accused of assaulting Christine Blasey Ford when both were in high school. Blasey did not report the incident to authorities or apparently anyone else at the time. There is zero evidence.  Kavanaugh was 17 years old at the time.

As it happens, Senator Booker is a co-sponsor of something called the REDEEM Act along with Senator Rand Paul. The proposed legislation centers on expunging the records of juveniles convicted of non-violent crimes, thus ensuring some teenage mistake does not follow them for a lifetime. While what Kavanaugh is accused of presumably would be classified as “violent,” again, he was never charged much less prosecuted for this. But in an explanation of his concern for teenagers who get in trouble, as here at the Senator’s website, Booker says this, bold print supplied:
"Studies of youth brain development have found that the decision-making functions of the brain do not fully develop until much later than was previously believed to be the case. Despite this, some states still try 17-, and even 16,-year-olds as adults by default. 
The REDEEM Act incentivizes states to establish 18 years old as a floor for original jurisdiction by adult criminal courts by allowing preference to be given to Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant applications that originate from states that have enacted similar or stronger provisions."
In other words? If one assumes that Christine Ford’s account is accurate, it happened for one reason, the reason that no less than Cory Booker himself has — truthfully — asserted. Again, that is this: Studies of youth brain development have found that the decision-making functions of the brain do not fully develop until much later than was previously believed to be the case.

In other words? The activities of a 17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh, not to mention 15-year-old Christine Blasey, were the result of immature teenagers whose “decision-making functions” were impaired to begin with because they had brains that were not “fully” developed. Not to mention that if Booker is literally sponsoring legislation that would make it the law of the land to seal youthful criminal records, there is no way that Ford’s 36-years later allegation, when no charges were even filed in the day, should be relevant in the first place.

There is zero evidence — say again zero — that Kavanaugh has ever exhibited this behavior in his adult life. Say again, zero. To the contrary. One woman after another has come forward to describe him in terms of being a gentleman on a personal level and an utter professional in the workplace. 

Contrast this with the behavior Democrats are silent about this very minute.

We Need to Stop Using the Word Journalist and Call Them What They Really Are


Few will deny we now live an age of fake news and media propaganda. I recently asked a friend who worked as a journalist before pursuing a career in advertising if there was a Hippocratic type oath or a code of ethics for journalist. They told me there was indeed an ethical code or "canons of journalism" adopted by the Society of Professional Journalist in 1922. They sent me a PDF of this "Journalist Canon"  as well as an additional PDF of the "Editors Code of Ethics". I spent an evening reading through what I can only believe are principles intentionally being ignored by today's journalist. Here is a sample of what I found. I'll let you decide as to how far we have drifted away from what was a once respected profession.....
_____________________________


This is the SPJ code of ethics that we follow as professionals:

Preamble: 
 Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. Ethical journalism strives to ensure the free exchange of information that is accurate, fair and thorough. An ethical journalist acts with integrity. The Society declares these four principles as the foundation of ethical journalism and encourages their use in its practice by all people in all media.

The SPJ Code of Ethics is a statement of abiding principles supported by explanations and position papers that address changing journalistic practices. It is not a set of rules, rather a guide that encourages all who engage in journalism to take responsibility for the information they provide, regardless of medium. The code should be read as a whole; individual principles should not be taken out of context. It is not, nor can it be under the First Amendment, legally enforceable. Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting.

Journalists should:
  • - Take responsibility for the accuracy of their work. Verify information before releasing it. Use original sources whenever possible.
  • - Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy. – Provide context. Take special care not to misrepresent or oversimplify in promoting, previewing or summarizing a story.
  •  - Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story. – Be cautious when making promises, but keep the promises they make.
  • Identify sources clearly. The public is entitled to as much information as possible to judge the reliability and motivations of sources.
  • - Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted.
  • – Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing.
  • – Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information unless traditional, open methods will not yield information vital to the public.
  • – Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable. Give voice to the voiceless.
  •  – Support the open and civil exchange of views, even views they find repugnant. – Recognize a special obligation to serve as watchdogs over public affairs and government. Seek to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open, and that public records are open to all.
  • – Provide access to source material when it is relevant and appropriate. – Boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience. Seek sources whose voices we seldom hear. – Avoid stereotyping. Journalists should examine the ways their values and experiences may shape their reporting. – Label advocacy and commentary.
  • – Never deliberately distort facts or context, including visual information. Clearly label illustrations and re-enactments.
  • – Never plagiarize. Always attribute. Minimize Harm Ethical journalism treats sources, subjects, colleagues and members of the public as human beings deserving of respect.
Journalists should:
  • – Balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness.
  • – Show compassion for those who may be affected by news coverage. Use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, victims of sex crimes, and sources or subjects who are inexperienced or unable to give consent. Consider cultural differences in approach and treatment.
  • – Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast.
  • – Realize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than public figures and others who seek power, influence or attention. Weigh the consequences of publishing or broadcasting personal information. – Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do.
  • – Balance a suspect’s right to a fair trial with the public’s right to know. Consider the implications of identifying criminal suspects before they face legal charges.
  • – Consider the long-term implications of the extended reach and permanence of publication. Provide updated and more complete information as appropriate. – Acknowledge mistakes and correct them promptly and prominently. Explain corrections and clarifications carefully and clearly.
  • – Expose unethical conduct in journalism, including within their organizations.
  • – Abide by the same high standards they expect of others.
It goes on the say "Act Independently" and "The highest and primary obligation of ethical journalism is to serve the public." I for one don't see much of what is referred to as ethics in today's media. And Truth and Integrity seems to be practices of mythical gods of the distant past.

It’s a Slow Burn Cultural Revolution

The Famous Statue of The Father of American Music - Stephen Collins Foster

The Marxist Cultural Revolution is alive and well in America, and has claimed another victim. The city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania's iconic monument to native son Stephen Collins Foster, the Antebellum songwriter widely acknowledged as the Father of American Music has been deem offensive and the 117 year old statue removed from public view.

At morning' first light, the 1,000-pound 10-foot-high bronze statue that stood at the entrance to Oakland's Schenley Park for 74 years, moved from its original location near the entrance to Highland Park to prevent vandalism, was remove on orders of the city's cultural commissar public art and civic design manager, Yesica Guerra. Never-mind the leading citizens of late 19th century Pittsburgh selected the statue's design and commissioned the noted Italian émigré, sculptor Guiseppe Moretti to create it, and was dedicated with great fanfare in 1900.

Foster, who was born in Pittsburgh on July 4, 1826, wrote more than 200 songs, including such time-honored classics as "Oh Susanna," "Camptown Races" and "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair." The statue had stirred controversy for years because it depicts Foster standing with a black man playing a banjo at his feet. The hyper-sensitive I'm offended crowd have described it as racist and demeaning to blacks(?) Others have argued that it depicts Foster gaining inspiration from a black musician. While some of Foster's songs contain graphic, derogatory depictions of slaves, he is credited with being among the first musicians to dignify and humanize blacks through his songs. He died at age 37 on Jan. 13, 1864 in New York City, with 38 cents in his pockets.

The city plans to replace the statue with a memorial to black women and has scheduled public meetings to gather suggestions before deciding on a theme. Perhaps a large black granite depiction of Michelle Obama's Ass would satisfy the shit-weasels.

It's Either One Or The Other.


Is racism a uniquely heinous offense against humanity, such that it needs to be treated as beyond the pale and outside the acceptable bounds of civilized society? Or is it so common that basically everyone is guilty of it? Because it can’t be both. 

If racism is an attitude of extremist cranks on the fringes of society, then the vast majority of us who don’t embrace racism can isolate the cranks and deny them the ability to impact society in accordance with their misguided, evil racist notions. But if racism is more or less in everyone’s hearts, and in fact that includes a great many people who don’t really overtly hate minorities and don’t mean anyone any harm, then how can it be treated as a fringe, evil belief? It’s one or the other. 

What the left wants to do is treat it like the existential threat the former scenario suggests, but nevertheless presume just about everyone in the country to be in on it. That doesn’t work.

You do have to hand it to Starbucks on this score, however: Have you ever seen a bigger overreaction to an isolated incident? One employee loses who doesn’t know how to manage a fairly innocuous situation ends up calling in the police, and the next thing you know 8,000 stores are closing for the day. Granted, this situation is tailor-made for activists who want to turn this one employee’s poor judgment into a global “Starbucks is racist” narrative, but is anyone surprised that Starbucks is essentially conceding the point with the way it’s reacting?

Disney Joins History Revision and Cultural Cleansing Movement


Long before the Disney movies of the same name came to be, one of the most enduring features at Disneyland and Disneyworld has been the classic “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride.  And as we all know, Progressives Regressives have their own truths, and can't seem to leave things alone. 
DT - The ride has been in existence for fifty years and like those Confederate monuments never bothered anyone much until the rise of the new totalitarian left. Being the gutless corporate cowards that they are, the honchos at Disney are now revamping the ride out of fear of the castrating harpies of the #MeToo lynch mob.  
Park visitors pile into boats which transverse a labyrinthine journey through the darkness of the old pirate days with automated figures engaging in sword fights, treasure hunts, singing and a bride auction in which bound women are sold off to the highest bidder. 
The scene that depicts women on the auction block is being replaced when the ride closes for routine maintenance starting April 23 at Disneyland Park in Anaheim as well as the Magic Kingdom Park in Florida. Disneyland will instead install a scene that shows townspeople lined up to surrender their valuables to the pirates, according to the Disney Parks Blog.  The tall redheaded woman from the auction block will remain in the new scene, but now as a rifle-toting pirate. The Disney Parks Blog also noted changes to the “Pirates” ride at Disneyland Paris."
______________________________________________

This begs the question:  In this day and age when we are told the authors of history have so conveniently glossed over so many things like the cruelty of slavery and the contributions, good and bad, to society by some peoples, why then change this example of how things really were and how things have changed, and teach the real truth of history?

Have we become so afraid of emotionally triggering small segments of society that we can no longer tell the true? Even the most misguided Europeans of today still have the desire to tell, warts and all, their sometime disgraceful history as it was.

CEO of Investment Firm Threatens Trump and Supporters

Ross Gerber is the Co-Founder, President and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management. He oversees Gerber Kawasaki’s corporate and investment management operations and is a frequent guest on CNN, CNBC, Fox Business News, and Reuters as well as a contributing writer for Forbes. He is ranked as one of the most influential investment advisors and Fintech innovators in America. The Gerber Kawasaki team oversees $650 million of investments in technology, media, entertainment and communications companies for clients and the firm. Just one month ago, Gerber appeared on Fox Business News to talk about how he took advantage of the short plunge in Trump’s bullish stock-market. Gerber gushed to the Fox Business host: 
“This [Trump’s] economy is phenomenal” and then doubled down on Trump’s successes by saying how much the tax cuts have helped the economy and the markets. We are very bullish” about this market!” 
But, apparently Ross Gerber is a world class hypocrite and has acquired an epic case of 'Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder' (TURD) took to Twitter in what looked like a call for latino rabble to hit the streets and cause disruption, and another tweet that some took as direct threats to the President and his supporters in California.


Disrupting the Presidents Motorcade is not Civil Disobedience - it could be considered a threat to the President and unexpected consequences could occure.  And sounding more like a 1930's Brown Shirt than an Investment manager, he also directly threatened to Dox and endanger private citizens: “If you are hosting or attending the Trump fundraiser in LA we will identify who you are to the media and public."  He later deleted the tweet, but the Ladies at 100% Feed Up had the foresight to grab a screen shot. 


Gerber called Trump supporters “scumbags” and speculated about who he believed would be hosting a Trump fundraiser:
“Trump will be in San Diego working on his wall and west LA getting money from scumbags. We will find out who is doing the fundraiser and we will be there. I bet Tom Barrack and his fraud company Colony are hosting. I’ll find out where he lives. Come join me. #Resistance "
This is an excellent example of the unhinged, pure hate and blind hypocrisy of some influential people in American society who stand to gain greatly from Donald Trump and America's success, yet they fight it tooth and nail. They continue to wade further into the deep end of the pool,  and without their water wings.....

Kneeling for a Self-Deceiving Lie

By Roger Simon - Go back to what initiated this whole escalating orgy of racial accusation and you find one of the more despicable and self-destructive lies of our time -- that the police are targeting minority communities.

Heather Mac Donald's excellent "The War on Cops" is chock full of statistics demonstrating why this is not only a lie, but the complete opposite of reality. Unfortunately, Mac Donald is white and therefore, I'm told, disqualified, so I will quote a short version from the Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley, who happens to be black:
"In New York City, home to the nation’s largest police force, officer-involved shootings have fallen by more than 90% since the early 1970s, and national trends have been similarly dramatic. A Justice Department report published in 2001 noted that between 1976 and 1998, the teen and adult population grew by 47 million people, and the number of police officers increased by more than 200,000, yet the number of people killed by police “did not generally rise” over this period. 
Moreover, a “growing percentage of felons killed by police are white, and a declining percentage are black.” A separate Justice study released in 2011 also reported a decline in killings by police, between 1980 and 2008. And according to figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate at which police kill blacks has fallen by 70% since the late 1960s."
So why are all these multi-millionaires insulting the country that made them wildly rich and creating a national (even international) crisis about police brutality when, with rare exceptions, it's no longer there? Do they actually believe their own lie? Probably, to some extent, they do. After all, they're surrounded by it.

The media -- aka Democrats with press passes -- constantly rattle on about the evils of the police in order to stir the racial pot. It even got worse after Barack Obama was elected. (Not surprising, really, when you think about it.) - Read More

Maybe States Should Revisit Subsidies to NFL & NBA Teams


It was only a matter of time before the NFL going political would ensure blowback, and the league office should have damn well recognized that. The NFL has major exposure to its business model in the event Congress ever revisits its antitrust exemption, and the league makes millions, if not billions, thanks to tax breaks and sweetheart deals from state and local governments on publicly-funded facilities it enjoys.

When it allows its idiot twenty-something players, freshly marinated from social justice warrior academies disguised as sociology, criminal justice, African-American Studies and other pseudo-academic departments at major colleges, to bring political activism to sidelines of games the NFL is no longer entertainment for everyone. It is now contributing to the cultural divide rather than helping to heal it.

Louisana State Representative Kenny Havard (R-St. Francisville), who chairs the House Transportation Committee, is now calling for a rethinking of the state’s subsidy money going to the Saints & Pelicans Sports Franchises.

From The Hayride:
“The very reason (the Saints) have the privilege and opportunity to play professional football while being paid millions is because someone in uniform died protecting their right to do so,” Havard said. “It is a disgrace to the men and woman of this nation and state who have sacrificed so much.” Havard’s statement didn’t specify the amount of state money that he proposed be diverted from the Saints the NFL. 
“Disrespecting our national anthem and flag in the name of social injustice is the highest form of hypocrisy,” he said. “Our free society made possible by our fighting men and women has made available free education, free lunch, housing and free healthcare and is now be considered socially unjust. 
“It is time the taxpayers quit subsidizing protest on big boy playgrounds. I believe in the right to protest but, not at a taxpayer subsidized sporting event. Do it on your own time. There are plenty of disabled children, elderly and veterans in this state that would appreciate the money.”
According to a 2015 Forbes story, Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson was “set to rake in an estimated $392 million from state subsidies through 2025.

Thank You MJA for the Linkage!

What Better Way to Replace a Statue of Robert E. Lee Then With a Symbol of Welfare Dependency

A West Point Educated General Replaced With a Pregnant Black Women

BALTIMORE, MD (WUSA9) - "Activists lifted a modern sculpture depicting a pregnant African-American "Lady Liberty" onto the pedestal where a monument to Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson was removed overnight.

The new statue is not sanctioned by the City of Baltimore which owns the site, but there was no immediate action to remove it by police or city officials. The removal of the Lee-Jackson monument and three other Confederate statues was ordered by Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh. Pugh told reporters she ordered the removals as a matter of public safety. In 2015 plaques were placed on the Lee-Jackson statue calling the monuments examples of the revisionist history "Lost Cause" movement.

Pugh said the monuments have been moved to safe locations for storage, but she did not say where. One city council member is calling for the destruction of the statues."

Reason #9 to Encourage California to Secede

Encourage California Secession. 
Help Rid Race Obsessed Leftist Morons like This From Congress

Another DMF Profile in Moonbattery:

Another illustrious member of the California US Congressional delegation and member of the Congressional Caucus of the Race Obsessed, launched a bigoted attack against the President in front of the annual liberal Nut-fest gathering known the Netroots Nation's convention in Atlanta. This time it was California Democrat Barbara Lee telling the audience "Trump wasted no time in implementing the hateful agenda that he ran on.  It's an all out assault on our fundamental civil and human rights" 


Lee, like her fellow CBC members Elijah Cummings, John Lewis, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, John Conyers and Keith Ellison (who's little segregated club are provided its own offices, staff and lavish budget at taxpayer expense) are allowed to shield their bigotry with their skin color as they spew their lies and sometime blatant anti-white propaganda in the Media. This is also the same Barbara Lee who tried to nullify the 2004 election of George Bush by voting not to count Ohio's Electoral Votes, thus swing the election to John Kerry. 
"President Trump, she told the audience, has “wasted no time in implementing the hateful agenda that he ran on.” Lee pointed to the so-called Muslim ban, transgender military ban, healthcare reform efforts, and Commission on Election Integrity among other recent Republican actions to illustrate her argument. 
“Coming from the Bay Area, of course, as a community leader with the Black Panther Party, I just have to say progressives understand the power of the people. We must be bold and not back down ” - Washington Examiner
She is also the same nutcase who recently suggested that the appointment of former USMC General John Kelly as Trump’s new White House chief of staff was the equivalent of an extremist military junta taking over the country. 

Sane people don’t listen to race-baiting crackpots like this woman. Unfortunately,  California seems to continue to elect more then their share of these bigoted wackos that help disrupt getting anything good done for the country because they act as if gone  from the first black president back to the 1960's overnight.  And people like Barbara Lee seem to ignore things like THIS.

The NYTs: White Wimmens is Racist!


The New York Times published an essay Wednesday titled "Power Play" in a section they call "Was That Racist," by one of their affirmative Action reporters named Greg Howard. In his essay self absorbed rant he singled out white women for not moving out of his way when walking toward him on city sidewalks, not allowing him straight path. At times when he’s had to step off the sidewalk into the road, the writer turns “furious” because he “feels small.”
"When white women are in my path, they almost always continue straight, forcing me to one side without changing their course. This happens several times a day; and a couple of times a week, white women force me off the sidewalk completely. In these instances, when I’m standing in the street or in the dirt as a white woman strides past, broad-shouldered and blissful, I turn furious." 
"Do they refuse to acknowledge me because they’ve been taught that they should fear black men, and that any acknowledgment of black men can invite danger? Do they refuse to acknowledge me because to alter their route would be to show their fear? Do they not see me? Can they not see me?"
Now, as a women, you REALLY don't want to hear what I have to say about Mr. Howard and his disrespectful, de-evolving culture. But I am interested in what you have to say.
