Democrats: The Party of Hate

Posted on | May 21, 2021 | Comments Off on Democrats: The Party of Hate

The national poster child for Racial Derangement Syndrome:

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s spokesperson has reportedly announced that she will only give interviews to “Black or Brown” journalists on the occasion of reaching the halfway point in her term as mayor. . . .
Lightfoot, the city’s first black female mayor, and also the first lesbian mayor, has been a target of public criticism for her harsh policies during the coronavirus pandemic, her failure to manage the Black Lives Matter riots, and a sharp rise in crime throughout the already-violent city.

More on Mayor Lightfoot’s journalistic segregation:

“I’m thinking in this one day when we are looking at the two-year anniversary of my inauguration, as a woman of color, as a lesbian, it’s important to me that diversity is put front in center,” Lightfoot said. . . .
“If I as the black woman mayor, the first ever, don’t challenge us, the collective us, to do better, to really make sure that in every institution it reflects the diversity, nuance and texture, the shame on me,” Lightfoot said. . . .
Political analyst Charles Thomas knows the City Hall beat well, as a former television political reporter. He says although newsroom diversity is an important topic, he questions the mayor’s timing.
“This is a distraction,” he said. “Instead of talking about crime, talking about disarray in her administration, talking about education, talking about city finances, we’re talking about this.”

Exactly right. Identity politics is a distraction from government failure. And certainly Mayor Frogface has failed to keep Chicago safe:

Forty-six individuals were shot, five fatally, during another violent weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
Breitbart News reported 29 people were shot Friday into Saturday night alone in the Windy City, with five of those shooting victims succumbing to their wounds.
On Sunday morning, two Chicago police officers were shot by an individual who opened fire on them in an alley. The officers were both hospitalized but “stable and recovering,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
By Monday morning at 5:08 a.m., ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times noted the total number of overall shooting victims for the weekend had risen to 46. So it was a bloody Sunday.
Among the weekend’s wounded were a two-year-old girl who “was shot in Little Village on the Southwest side” while riding in the backseat of a vehicle.

Little children are being shot in Chicago, and all Mayor Frogface wants to talk about is “diversity,” because Amphibian Lives Matter.

God Bless Officer Tatum

Posted on | May 20, 2021 | Comments Off on God Bless Officer Tatum

If you are a God-fearing American, you need to be praying for this man. Brandon Tatum is doing the Lord’s work, and he needs all your prayer circles calling down God’s angels to protect him from evil.

Because I watch a lot of crime videos on YouTube, the algorithm somehow started pushing videos from the Officer Tatum channel into my recommendations, and the first one I watched was like, “Oh, wow, this guy gets it.” He’s saying the same things I’ve been saying about this violent crime wave and BLM and Ben Crump and so forth.

Anyway, he uploaded a video about the shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. For weeks, Crump and the usual suspects have been in the “Family Demand Answers” mode, accusing police (county sheriff’s deputies, actually) of “executing” Brown. “Release the video!” was the main demand, and it was implied, if not stated directly, that there was some kind of cover-up involved. What these “activist” types and their friends in the liberal media didn’t want you to know is, first of all, the laws in North Carolina don’t allow for this kind of stuff to be released publicly without a judge’s authorization, and the judge in this case wanted to wait until the state police and the district attorney had completed their investigation. But if you’re stupid enough to believe the way this story was presented on CNN and MSNBC, you might actually believe that the sheriff’s deputies in Pasquotank County are just a bunch of racist goons who murdered an innocent black man.

My second point: Andrew Brown Jr. was definitely not innocent.

He was never really innocent in his entire adult life. When he got shot dead by deputies serving an arrest warrant, Brown was 42. He had a criminal record dating back as far as 1996. Do the math, and you realize Brown has been a criminal since before he even turned 18.

So far as anyone can tell, Andrew Brown Jr. never had a real job, never earned an honest dollar in his whole life. He was a lifelong drug dealer who was convicted no fewer than 12 times — TWELVE TIMES — of felony drug charges. He was most recently released from prison in 2018. The reason deputies were serving a warrant on him was because an informant got undercover video of Brown dealing drugs. What kind of drugs was he dealing? Meth, cocaine, and heroin laced with fentanyl.

It wasn’t like Brown was just turning over a few nickel bags of weed or something. He was dealing serious amounts of very bad drugs, the kind of stuff that puts people in an early grave, and you can make all the libertarian arguments you want for ending the “War on Drugs,” but do you want this deadly poison being sold in your community?

America answers: “Hell to the no.” We want to put these people in prison, and the sheriff’s department in Pascotank County had an airtight case against Anthony Brown Jr. They had warrants to arrest him and search his property, but they also knew that Brown had previously shown a disposition to resist arrest or attempt to flee, so when they went to serve the warrant, they brought their tactical squad with them.

Now I’m going to insert Officer Tatum’s video, in which he reviews and comments on the body-camera footage of this incident:

Let me here say a few words about prejudice.

Because I’m a Southerner, I’ve been dealing with prejudice my whole life. One of the reasons I prefer written communication is because, with the written word, you can’t hear my accent. Like Jeff Foxworthy says, the minute a Southerner opens his mouth, people deduct 15 points from his IQ score — no matter how smart a Southerner may be, the slow-motion drawl makes him sound stupid. And because I’ve got a particularly sharp Appalachian twang, I know I seem more intelligent when I write than when I speak. Having dealt with this problem for decades — a professional journalist who talks like Jed Clampett — I am aware that black people suffer similar problems if they “talk black.”

What do you think Joe Biden meant, really, when he praised Barack Obama as being “clean” and “articulate,” as if possessing such qualities had been hitherto unknown among black Americans? You can say it was racist of Biden to say that, and the last thing I want to do is to defend Joe against accusations of racism, but what he obviously meant was that Obama didn’t “talk black” like, e.g., Jesse Jackson.

Or Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee or any of the other black Democrats who, by word and deed, reinforce the worst racial stereotypes. I mean, every time “Kerosene Maxine” opens her mouth, it’s like a recruiting ad for the KKK. If you’re looking for the Number One cause of racism in America, look no farther than the 43rd District of California.

All of this I say because Brandon Tatum talks the way you’d expect a black man from Tarrant County, Texas, to talk, and many viewers of his videos — particularly the intellectuals of the journalistic elite — might therefore underestimate his intelligence. Certainly, he’s been dealing with this his whole life, but let me tell you something I know from direct experience: Just because a black person doesn’t speak with the elocution and grammatic accuracy of a Cambridge University professor, don’t assume they’re stupid. Because the joke may be on you.

See, as a professional journalist, I learned to anticipate how my redneck accent caused people to underestimate me, and use that to my advantage — like Detective Columbo playing dumb with a murder suspect, and then waving his cigar: “Ah, I just got one more question . . .”

Call up somebody and give ’em that aw-shucks, yes-ma-am, no-ma’am stuff like you’re just a down-home good ol’ boy — let ’em underestimate you — and you’d be surprised at what folks will tell you. If I can figure out how prejudice can be used as ju-jitsu leverage, I’m sure plenty of black people have figured it out, too, so if you’re underestimating Brandon Tatum because he “talks black,” you need to rethink your assumptions. And speaking of assumptions . . .

Why do so many people — including a lot of liberals — act as if the word black is a synonym for poor? Some white folks encounter a successful black man and will automatically assume he grew up in the ghetto and miraculously escaped a life of poverty. Hate to disillusion anyone, but despite the so-called “income gap” between whites (as a group) and blacks (as a group), there are lots of middle-class black people in America, and not every black child grows up in the ghetto.

Brandon Tatum’s father was a captain in the Fort Worth fire department, and his grandfather’s brother, Jack Tatum, was an All-Pro defensive back for the Oakland Raiders in their Super Bowl glory days. Brandon Tatum went to the University of Arizona on a football scholarship, didn’t get picked in the NFL draft and became a police officer in Tucson. Seven years later, after he went viral speaking out on behalf of Donald Trump, Tatum left the police force and became a full-time commentator.

He’s got 1.6 million YouTube subscribers — an audience about twice the size of CNN’s average daytime viewership. And he’s the real deal.

Everything he says about this Andrew Brown Jr. shooting is what I’d say myself, except I’m a white guy and nobody cares what a white guy says about BLM because it’s racist when we say the common-sense truth about these criminal scumbags who get themselves shot by cops.

Every Christian knows that “the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,” and you know Satan would like nothing better than to devour a righteous man like Brandon Tatum, so I’m asking y’all to get that intercessory prayer going for him.

Lift him up. We need this guy’s voice amplified so loud it makes liberals shut their mouths with all this “systemic racism” nonsense.

Can I get an “amen,” dear brothers?

Why Do Democrats Want a 9/11-Style Capitol Riot ‘Truth Commission’?

Posted on | May 19, 2021 | Comments Off on Why Do Democrats Want a 9/11-Style Capitol Riot ‘Truth Commission’?

They can’t quit him. Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are unable to let go of their “Orange Man Bad” obsession with Donald Trump. That’s why, as I watched MSNBC this morning (so you don’t have to), they were headlining the New York state attorney general’s criminal investigation of Trump’s business organization. In their deranged minds, destroying Trump will also destroy what he represents — a populist challenge to elite control of America’s government and other institutions.

Our would-be elite overlords believe that only folks with Ivy League degrees and the correct “progressive” opinions can be allowed to have any meaningful influence in American public life. While it is true that Trump had an Ivy League diploma (from Penn), his mistake was in being too sympathetic to the working class who are fed up with elite control. Our media overlords won’t be satisfied until the current working class is entirely supplanted by cheap foreign labor — either through immigration, or through international trade competition — simply because the media elite hate the working class, so many of whom refuse to comply with elite demands, e.g., pretending that men can get pregnant or that AR-15 owners are the greatest threat to America’s public safety.

One obvious reason the media keep playing the Trump card, so to speak, is because nobody cares about Joe Biden and since Trump left office, most news ratings have fallen to unprecedented lows. Almost the only guy on cable TV who’s still relevant is Tucker Carlson, which is why CNN’s Brian Stelter is constantly “reporting” what Carlson says (as if CNN viewers are too stupid to turn the channel and see for themselves).

This is the simplest explanation for why CNN, MSNBC and other liberal media outlets continue to hype the Jan. 6 “insurrection” on a daily basis — it offers them a chance to feel more relevant, and perhaps even to claw their way out of their post-Trump viewership decline. And they all think it would be a splendid idea for Congress to authorize a 9/11 style “bipartisan” commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Notice that I have no problem describing what happened on Jan. 6 as a “riot.” When people storm a police barricade, that’s a riot in my book, even if I agree with the politics of the people doing it. And while there were a few genuinely dangerous kooks at the Capitol on Jan. 6, most of the people who breached the barricades were mainly guilty of misdemeanors, caught up in the urgent excitement of the moment. Even though I am sympathetic to people who think the 2020 election was stolen, I think the Capitol riot was a bad idea, but because nobody solicited my opinion in advance — “Hey, Stacy, what do you think about our plan for charging past the cops into the Capitol?” — so all I can do is express my disapproval in the aftermath.

It’s kind of like what happened in Charlottesville in August 2017. I’m all in favor of protecting historic monuments against left-wing mobs of political correctoids, but Munich-style torchlight parades and dressing up in combat gear for a street brawl? Bad optics, to say the least.

But while the CNN/MSNBC media gang want a Jan. 6 “Truth Commission” mainly to keep feeding their audience the Orange Man Bad diet they crave, Democrats are seeking more tangible political advantage:

Six months later, the “Big Lie” won’t die.
The Left and NeverTrump have tried everything in their collective power to punish critics of the 2020 presidential election: Social media accounts, including those belonging to Donald Trump, have been deplatformed. Republican lawmakers have been cut off by longtime donors, threatened with legal recourse, and worse.
Nonviolent Trump-supporting Americans who traveled to the nation’s capital on January 6 to protest dubious election results in swing states now face criminal charges. Nearly 75 million Americans are considered potential “domestic violent extremists” by their own government and nearly half their countrymen agree.
Lives and careers are being destroyed — and the Biden regime is only getting started. . . .

Gov. DeSantis Hires Christina Pushaw; Rebekah Jones Gets Crazier Than Ever

Posted on | May 19, 2021 | Comments Off on Gov. DeSantis Hires Christina Pushaw; Rebekah Jones Gets Crazier Than Ever

When last we updated readers on the Rebekah Jones saga (“The Streisand Effect and the Results of Everybody Blog About Rebekah Jones Day,” Sunday), the reporting of Charles C.W. Cooke at National Review had devastated whatever was left of Jones’s “whistleblower” reputation.

Since Sunday, there have been further developments in the saga. First, Christina Pushaw, the journalist whose February report on Jones began the debunking of her “whistleblower” narrative, was announced Monday as the new press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:

Governor Ron DeSantis has tapped conservative journalist and communicator Christina Pushaw to be his new press secretary.
Pushaw, who most recently worked as a freelance journalist publishing in national conservative outlets like The National Interest and Human Events, landed inside the Governor’s office as DeSantis transitions into campaign season. Born in California, Pushaw carved out a career in communications after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in History from the University of Southern California. She also holds a Master’s degree in International Relations and Economics from Johns Hopkins University.
“Some people are surprised that I’m a conservative because I’m from one of the bluest areas in the country. But that’s precisely what shaped my views on policy. Growing up in California, I’ve seen firsthand the destruction caused by unfettered progressive control,” Pushaw told The Capitolist in an email. “The contrast between my home state of California and my adopted home state of Florida couldn’t be more dramatic.”
In addition to her freelance journalism work, Pushaw worked with conservative public policy organizations in Washington D.C. and has also worked as an international political communications consultant aiding pro-American political leaders and organizations in Eastern Europe, specializing in English-language media. Her experience working with political leaders and other organizations helped hone her skills in an often hostile media environment. One of her clients, Mikheil Saakashvili, has been an outspoken critic of Vladmir Putin. . . .
Pushaw first got onto the radar of the DeSantis administration for her willingness to call out the now thoroughly discredited “whistleblower” Rebekah Jones in a series of investigative stories, including a blockbuster exposé in Human Events in February. That story was among the first national media outlets to shine a light on major plot holes in Jones’ claims and in the media narrative she perpetuated. Jones was fired from Florida’s Department of Health last year and is currently awaiting trial on charges that she illegally accessed a state computer network.

Congratulations to Ms. Pushaw and, as for Jones, what do crazy people do when things go wrong? They get crazier:

As Twitchy readers know, Charles C.W. Cooke wrote a fairly exceptional piece on ‘fabulist’ Rebekah Jones for The National Review. Full disclosure, this editor just this morning had the time to sit down and really read it and all we can say is … wow.
Seems Jones wrote a response/blog about his piece.
And managed to misspell his last name throughout the entire thing.
Oh, and she apparently plans to sue him for libel as well?

She’ll probably start another one to "fund the lawsuit." Grifters gonna grift.

— Ken Gardner (@KenGardner11) May 18, 2021

Jones’s reply to Cooke is more than 9,000 words of pure craziness and, while I’m not professionally licensed to provide psychiatric diagnoses, it is my opinion as a layman that Jones is deranged, demented, daft, wacky, bonkers, non compos mentis, off her rocker, nuttier than a Snickers bar, a few fries short of a Happy Meal, and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Meanwhile, CNN’s Jake Tapper, who promoted Jones’s “whistleblower” narrative as recently as December, has thrown her under his Twitter bus.
