BLM/Antifa Attack Trump Supporters

Posted on | November 15, 2020 | 1 Comment

Saturday’s massive pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., was entirely peaceful. When the march was over, however, Black Lives Matter/Antifa activists attacked the Trump supporters who made the mistake of staying downtown. Lana Shadwick at Breitbart reports:

Antifa and BLM wasted no time in accosting women, children, families, and the elderly as they walked down Washington, DC, streets after the Million MAGA March on Saturday. Protesters threw large fireworks and projectiles at restaurant-goers eating outside and flashed laser lights into hotel rooms.
DC Metropolitan Police blocked off BLM Plaza so Million MAGA March attendees could not go through. Trump supporters had to walk through a gauntlet of BLM, Antifa, and black bloc assailants in order to leave the area.
A black woman hauled off and sucker-punched a man carrying a Trump flag.
Rioters walked down the street and harassed an elderly couple while trying to rip a Trump flag out of their hands.
They threatened and harassed an elderly man walking down the street with a scooter. They pushed the scooter down and threw unidentified liquids at him.
They yelled, “Get the f**k out of here! You better run motherf**ker! You better run motherf**ker!”

“Unity.” Biden supporters are all about unity.

Rick Moran at PJMedia:

Pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators clashed after dark in Washington, D.C., Saturday night following a day-long march by MAGA supporters. After most of the MAGA marchers left the rally, antifa thugs descended on the remaining Trump supporters. An elderly couple with a Trump flag was assaulted and the Proud Boys began to hit back, mixing it up with antifa in the streets. . . .
An elderly couple, along with women and children, were threatened and harassed by antifa bullies who screamed at them as they were walking down the street. They followed them for half a block before a cop finally intervened.

Don’t expect any mainstream media to report this.



 

The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Posted on | November 15, 2020 | 1 Comment

What has happened to my native state? Last night on The Other Podcast with John Hoge, I discussed some of the numbers from the presidential vote in Georgia where, we are told, Joe Biden won by about 14,000 votes. How could this happen? Well, you can start by comparing this year’s election to 2016, when Trump beat Clinton in Georgia 50.4% to 45.4% with a margin of 211,141 votes. Trump increased his vote total from about 2.1 million votes in 2016 to nearly 2.5 million in 2020, an almost 18% increase. However, Biden’s total in 2020 was nearly 32% more than Hillary got four years ago. The Democratic gain was concentrated in a handful of counties; in Fulton County (Atlanta) for example, Biden got about 84,000 votes more than Clinton. Biden’s margin of nearly a quarter-million votes in Fulton County — 381,144 to Trump’s 137,240 — was sufficient to account entirely for his victory; that is to say, Trump won the state except for Atlanta. We shall see if that result withstands a recount, but meanwhile there’s this . . .

Georgia Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler unleashed an onslaught this week against Rev. Raphael Warnock, trying to portray her Democratic opponent and the 15-year leader of Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic church in Atlanta as an anti-police Marxist who will destroy America.
Warnock has described the arc of his life from the Savannah projects to Dr. King’s pulpit in Atlanta, and recently preempted personal attacks in an ad poking fun at negative campaigning. But the Loeffler campaign hopes to undercut the Democratic candidate’s image before the runoff election on January 5, one of two that are expected to determine which party controls the Senate.
Loeffler said on Wednesday that if she and Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue win, they will “save the country.”
Loeffler and Perdue have labeled their campaigns against Warnock and Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff as a grand fight between the United States and socialism . . .

The fact that both of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats are up for election, and that both are headed to a runoff, needs to be explained. Last December, former Sen. Johnny Isaacson resigned because of his health, and Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Loeffler to finish Isaacson’s term, with a special election this year to fill the seat. For some reason that I don’t understand, this special election took the form of a “jungle primary,” with multiple candidates from every party running on the same ballot. Of course, the issue quickly boiled down to (a) whether Loeffler could fend off Republican rival Rep. Doug Collins, and (b) which of several candidates would become the Democratic opponent. Loeffler beat Collins 26%-20% — that is to say, the two leading Republicans got a combined 46% of the “jungle primary” vote — and Warnock became the Democratic nominee with 32.9%, which is nearly two-thirds of the total Democratic vote.

Meanwhile, in the regular Senate election, incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue seemed to be cruising to victory on Election Night against Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff until — with the addition of the same suspicious late votes that allegedly tipped the state to Biden — Perdue’s total was reduced to a few thousand less than the majority needed to avoid a runoff. As with the Biden vote, this was entirely explained by the results in Fulton County, where Ossoff ran up a 220,000-vote margin. That is why both Senate races are now headed to a runoff, with Republicans needing to win both seats if Mitch McConnell is to retain GOP control in the Senate. Almost certainly, the two Georgia seats will go the same way; it is unlikely that voters would split tickets, especially with millions of out-of-state dollars flooding in to “nationalize” this election. And so if one of the Democrats loses, probably both of them will lose.

This is why Raphael Warnock has a target on his back:

Rev. Raphael Warnock, the Democrat candidate for Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoff race, said in a speech in 2016 that “America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness.”
“If it is true that a man who has dominated the news and poisoned the discussion for months needs to repent, then it is doubly true that a nation that can produce such a man and make his vitriol go viral needs to repent,” Warnock said in an address at Atlanta’s Candler School of Theology right before the 2016 presidential election.
“No matter what happens next month, more than a third of the nation that would go along with this is reason to be afraid,” Warnock emphasized. “America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness on full display.” . . .
Warnock’s mentor, Dr. James Cone, fought against “satanic whiteness” and called for the “destruction of everything white” in society.

Read all of that, and when you’re done, next read about Warnock’s radical mentor, a proponent of Marxist “black liberation theology.”



 

Biden’s #DAMP Victory

Posted on | November 15, 2020 | 2 Comments

by Smitty

branco
Detroit, Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia. DAMP. Damp AlFredo, IYKWIMAITYD. These four cities have some major ‘splaining to do. It’s Curious How Biden Underperformed Hillary Clinton In Every City…Except These Four lays out some of the gravity-defying numbers involved. Read the whole thing, in addition to the Patrick Basham piece it links.

The providential thing, beside having a POTUS who triumphantly treads titanium testicle territory on hand to deal with this mess, is that the legislatures of those four states are under GOP control. Tellingly, the selection of electors is a matter for the state legislatures only, as noted in this outstanding American Greatness post. The Electoral College was incorporated into the Constitution literally for this situation. Literally As [FLOWERBED]. LAF. It’s funny.

Doing anything about the DAMP situation involves releasing some forensic accounting or other evidence that shows substantial hanky-panky. Sidney Powell was on Lou Dobbs and allowed that she was about to “Release the kraken”, which obviously must mean something other than an outburst of Toobinism.

Scott Adams, whom I take in almost daily (great at 1.5X on Spotify) has been making allusions to forensic accounting work being done by 800lb brains with whom he’s in contact. But then he spins a high-minded movie script scenario where Trump proves conclusively that he (and Americans) have been robbed, but it’s too late, and Trump has to eat some political crap sandwich, allow Biden to be inaugurated, and fight an outsider-outsider fight, instead of the insider-outsider fight Trump has already waged for four years.

That’s an interesting scenario, but it is rejected on two grounds:

  1. If Trump fails to protect the elections stipulated in the Constitution, and allows a Biden steal, then THERE MAY NEVER BE ANOTHER STRAIGHT ELECTION. Bad behavior unchecked will escalate.
  2. I want (after fair trials in court, of course) REVENGE.

One wishes to fall short of connecting dots in a conspiratorial way. But the flaky election law changes, Coronavirus weirdness, and seeing a guy who blew campaigning right off set a record for most votes ever just fails to pass the smell test.
I guess if you believe anything the media says, you can buy that. I’ve got ~73M Trump voters who have not visited that particular dispensary or lit up thereafter.
No, this is a referendum on the country. Trump needs to fight as long as legal recourse lasts. It’s far from over, and his relative silence on the matter has to have the Lefties DAMP with their flop sweat.
Good.

‘Properly Evolved’: How Pseudo-Eugenic Tropes Foretold Bob Chipman’s Doom

Posted on | November 14, 2020 | 4 Comments

Ace of Spades has a brief rundown of how “MovieBob” Chipman became a casualty of cancel culture, i.e., another “male feminist” exposed as a problematic creep. This non-surprising exposure triggered a memory of a time a few years ago — September 2017 –when I’d researched Chipman because of something Ian Miles Cheong said on Twitter:

If you don’t know who Bob Chipman is, it’s not your fault. He’s an untalented nobody with a YouTube channel who was a movie critic or something for a site called The Escapist until (a) in 2014 he became obsessed with ranting against #GamerGate and (b) in 2015 was laid off from The Escapist, and although (c) it would be a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy to suppose (a) and (b) were related, (d) most people do.
Anyway, I never heard of the guy until Tuesday, when Ian Miles Cheong tweeted about “Bob Chipman and the Unhealthy Preoccupation with The Superior Future,” which turns out to be one of Chipman’s stock phrases.

Another of his stock phrases was “properly evolved” as a synonym for progressive. If you vote Democrat, you’re “properly evolved,” otherwise you are a Neanderthal, according to Bob Chipman.

Making politics the measure of one’s genetic worthiness is profoundly problematic. One cannot breed ideas; intellectual abstractions are not hereditary; beliefs are not part of your DNA. But you see that Bob Chipman latched onto this notion of progressivism as proof of superiority for a very simple reason: In no other way is he superior.

As a matter of fact, Bob looks defective, like someone suffering from a bizarre malfunction of the endocrine glands. He is visibly unhealthy. It is highly unlikely he would ever find a woman willing to bear his children and, therefore, he’s a failure from a Darwinian perspective.

MovieBob is also, not surprisingly, a videogame nerd who went all-in trashing the #GamerGate movement in 2014. He later went all-in for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, which was when some of his “progressive” comrades (especially Bernie Sanders supporters) began calling attention to his tendency to use eugenics-influenced rhetoric. In the wake of his recent exposure, Chipman has locked his Twitter account, but you can find a sample of such rhetoric compiled here. In September 2016, for example, Chapman said “people of vision and intelligence need to re-assert their power”; in May 2017 he denounced the “worthless trash-people” who had elected Trump; he had previously lamented that eugenics had been “tainted” by the Nazis.

Does everyone see the irony in this? Many of his “progressive” allies were willing to overlook MovieBob’s problematic tendencies for years, but then one day a cute girl says, “Yuck, stop being a creeper,” and that’s all it took to incinerate his career. Such standards, these people.

Are You a ‘Far-Right Extremist’?

Posted on | November 13, 2020 | Comments Off on Are You a ‘Far-Right Extremist’?

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, anyone concerned about the integrity of the 2020 election is part of a “cluster of far-right extremists including neo-fascists, white nationalists and militia members.” Thus do they describe the #StopTheSteal rally planned for noon Saturday at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. Among the featured guests at the D.C. rally are Michelle Malkin. Amy Kremer, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec and many other pro-Trump personalities.

So now the SPLC is defining support for the President of the United States as “hate.” People should be alarmed by this.
