UNLEASH ‘THE TONE’!

Posted on | February 24, 2019 | Comments Off on UNLEASH ‘THE TONE’!

 

In 2017, the Southern Poverty Law Center raised $132 million, David Montgomery of the Washington Post noted last November:

That’s a 164 percent increase over the $50 million it took in a year before. The SPLC’s endowment is up to $433 million. SPLC leaders explain the jump as a reaction to the tone unleashed by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and continued by the Trump administration.

So the unleashing of the tone explains why so many idiots gave so much money to the smear-merchants at the SPLC. As I remarked this week (“Fear and Loathing: Journalism in the Age of Trump Derangement Syndrome”), the problem is that the “Trump-is-Hitler-and-Republicans-are-latter-day-Nazis analogy just doesn’t function as a meaningful mechanism to understand the daily news,” but the media won’t let it go.

The depiction of Republicans as Nazis — a deliberate smear aimed at all 62.9 million Americans who voted for Trump — goes hand-in-hand with the “Russian collusion” narrative that Michael Tracey and Scott Adams discuss in the context of fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe’s book tour (hat-tip: Instapundit). There’s a sort of feedback loop in operation, an echo chamber of fear, where the voice of sanity is drowned out by shrieking paranoia. Pardon me for once again citing my own work (“McCabe’s Weird Anti-Russia Paranoia Reveals ‘Deep State’ Cult Mentality,” Feb. 14), but the obsession with Russia runs hand-in-hand with the belief that “the tone unleashed” has driven a surge of hate in America which, in turn, generates incidents like the Jussie Smollett hoax.

What’s going here? Why have so many people gone batshit crazy?

My theory: The shock of the unexpected — Trump’s surprising 18-month campaign to the White House, defying all the “expert” logic — not only traumatized the liberal media, but also inspired fear within the national-security bureaucracy among those people like Andrew McCabe who had bet heavily on Hillary Clinton winning in 2016. Remember, the same people who whitewashed Hillary’s private email server scandal were the ones who launched the “Russian collusion” investigation, based mainly on the Steele dossier. So all the shabby goings-on within the Justice Department during the Obama years, which would have continued to be covered up if Hillary had been elected, were at risk of exposure by the incoming Trump administration. Therefore, when Trump fired Comey (a signal that the status quo at the FBI/DOJ was about to change) McCabe and others pushed for the appointment of Bob Mueller to investigate “Russian collusion” with Trump. The “Deep State” needed to discredit Trump in order to protect its own secrets, especially the extent to which Hillary had gotten special treatment in the email server scandal.

The fears of McCabe and others inside the FBI/DOJ bureaucracy were paralleled by the liberal media’s fears of Trump’s power to undermine their ability to shape the political narrative. No presidential candidate has ever campaigned with an anti-media message like Trump’s. He took them on directly, called them out by name, turned the tables on them and made resentment of media bias a central issue of his campaign. This is why we have seen tech companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter joining forces with the Left to silence dissent, specifically using the SPLC’s “Hate Group” listings to justify their purges. What is this really about? It’s about protecting the power of the legacy media — CNN, the New York Times, etc. — to influence politics. Liberals understand that the proliferation of right-leaning media channels, everything from Fox News to Breitbart to 4chan to Alex Jones, played a crucial role in defeating Hillary in 2016, and they feared the consequences if such dissenting voices were allowed to continue pushing back against the narrative of the Democrat-Media Complex.

All of these forces on the Left, now including Big Tech as well as the legacy media, have refused to accept the verdict of 2016 — a populist revolt against the political, economic and cultural elite — and this has fed into the intensifying climate of fear. Read this list of “hate” hoaxes since Trump’s election and you get an idea of how this constant fear-mongering impacts the feeble-minded. Of course, liberals blame Trump and his “tone” for this, but in reality the media have become increasingly irresponsible, damaging their own credibility, and what we need now is for the grown-ups in journalism to tell everybody to calm down.

‘Transgender Women of Color’

Posted on | February 23, 2019 | Comments Off on ‘Transgender Women of Color’

Gregory Dodds, also known as Deeniquia “Dee Dee” Dodds.

GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is a propaganda operation that enforces media conformity to the official ideology of the LGBT “rights” movement. With an annual budget of more than $10 million, GLAAD exercises an Orwellian influence over media coverage of such issues, and has recently made this demand to journalists: “Report on the brutal violence perpetrated against transgender people, particularly transgender women of color.”

Well, a journalist must ask, who is perpetrating this “brutal violence”?

 

Say hello to Cyheme Hall, 23, who along with his brother Shareem Hall, 25, has confessed his role in the July 2016 murder of Gregory Dodds, 22, also known as Deeniquia “Dee Dee” Dodds. The Hall brothers testified in court this month during the trial of their two accused co-conspirators, Jalonta Little, 28, and Monte Johnson, 23:

Defense attorneys for two men on trial in the fatal shooting of a transgender woman attacked the credibility of the government’s key witnesses — brothers who have admitted a role in the crime.
Two friends, Montee Tyree Johnson, 23, of Upper Marlboro, Md., and Jolanta Little, 28, of Southeast Washington are charged with first-degree murder while armed, robbery, conspiracy and other offenses in the July 4, 2016, shooting of Deeniquia “Dee Dee” Dodds.
In an effort to tie the men to the killing, prosecutors put on the witness stand two brothers who testified they participated in the deadly robbery and implicated Johnson and Little. During their closing arguments Thursday, defense attorneys said the brothers played down their roles in the crimes in hopes of receiving lighter prison sentences and conspired to place the blame on Johnson and Little.
Prosecutors say that before 3 a.m. that July morning, Dodds, 22, was walking home in the 200 block of Division Avenue when four men pulled up in a car. Two of the men jumped out and pushed Dodds to the ground. But she fought back, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say Johnson shot Dodds in the neck and the men grabbed her purse and ran.
Four men initially were charged in the case. Two of them, Cyheme Hall, 23, and his older brother, Shareem, have pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. The brothers agreed to testify against Little and Johnson.
During the past three weeks in Judge Milton C. Lee’s courtroom in D.C. Superior Court, the Hall brothers gave detailed accounts of the night Dodds was shot.
The brothers testified that minutes before approaching Dodds, their group robbed another transgender woman on Eastern Avenue. They then hopped in Little’s white Pontiac and drove a few blocks, where they saw Dodds, the Halls said.
After the shooting, they got back in the car and drove to K Street, where they robbed other transgender victims, the brothers testified. Both said that Little and Johnson orchestrated the night’s events. And both testified that Johnson shot Dodds.
“They killed Dee Dee but they didn’t have any remorse as they decided to do other robberies. They did it just as casually as other men pick up a basketball game,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas N. Saunders said.
By the time the sun was coming up, the men had robbed seven people, leaving one dying, prosecutors said.

Thus was “brutal violence” perpetrated against a transgender woman of color, to employ GLAAD’s phrasing, and I wonder if they approve of the decision by editors at the Washington Post to bury that story inside the Metro section of their paper, on Page B5. As I explained last month (“The Media’s ‘Climate of Hate’ Myth,” American Spectator, Jan. 18), activists claim to know the cause of these crimes: “Many people have asked if the current regressive political climate legitimized by the language and policies of the Trump administration and others could be contributing to the rise of hate violence. Our answer is yes.… Over and over, President Donald Trump and his administration have attempted to erase, demonize and discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community.”

So, according to activists, President Trump is ultimately responsible for this murder committed by Cyheme, Raheem, Montee and Jolanta. But the story still got buried on Page B5, for some reason, and you don’t hear any complaints from GLAAD, do you? It’s so mysterious . . .

Never Trust a Bisexual

Posted on | February 23, 2019 | Comments Off on Never Trust a Bisexual

TV anchor Chris Burrous (right) with his wife Mai (left).

Chris Burrous was the anchor of the morning news at KTLA-TV in Los Angeles. Two days after Christmas, he was found dead in a “seedy” motel in suburban Glendale, California. He was 43 years old and left behind a wife and 9-year-old daughter. Chris Burrous was bisexual:

KTLA anchor Chris Burrous died from an overdose of crystal meth while engaging in vigorous sexual activity with a man he met on Grindr.
According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner, Burrous died from methamphetamine toxicity after being found unresponsive in a Glendale motel on December 28. The manner of death is listed as accidental.
According to the death investigation, officials say Burrous worked his shift at KTLA, and then left early for the day complaining he felt ill.
Instead of going home, he set up a meeting with a man at a motel in Glendale for an afternoon of hardcore sex. The two allegedly met on Grindr and had hooked up multiple times in the past.

(Burrous was living a double life, pretending to be the happily married husband, while repeatedly hooking up with guys on Grindr.)

When the companion arrived, Burrous allegedly answered the door fully nude, and had set up the room with “DJ style” lighting, S&M toys, lubrication jelly and a massage bench. The two men allegedly engaged in various forms of sexual activities.

(Among the “various forms of sexual activities” two men might engage in, which one would require “lubrication jelly”?)

At some point during the meeting, 43-year-old Burrous allegedly inserted a “rock” of crystal meth into his body.

(Care to guess the method of insertion? Exactly what you think.)

He then allegedly gave his companion a syringe full of GHB and a bottle of Gatorade. The two became intimate again, and Burrous allegedly used another “rock” of meth before engaging in more sexual activity.

(What a euphemism — “became intimate.”)

The report states Burrous also used “poppers,” an alkyl nitrite inhaled that produces a euphoric effect.
Burrous allegedly told his companion he was feeling fine until the man noticed him making a strange noise, and flipped him over to realize Burrous had vomited inside his S&M mask.

(So, if he “flipped him over” to discover this, we may suppose that Burrows — wearing an “S&M mask,” whatever that means — was face-down while they “became intimate.” Nudge, nudge.)

The man called 911 and began to perform CPR on Burrous until emergency responders arrived. He was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room.

Did the deceased anchorman’s wife know that her husband was getting boned in seedy motels by a dude he met on a gay dating app? Probably not, but was there never any cause for her to suspect that she was married to a man who might be inclined in that direction? Well, you can watch the on-air tribute to Chris Burrous that KTLA-TV did the day after he died and see if his mannerisms, in hindsight, might not have been enough to trigger your “gaydar” alert. I remember after Ted Haggard was “outed” in 2006, going back to watch videos of his TV appearances and thinking, “Wow, how did nobody ever notice how gay this guy is?”

To say that Chris Burrous was “bisexual” is to say, of course, he was really gay, but just didn’t want to admit it. A guy doesn’t die in a cheap motel with drugs, lube, an S&M mask and a guy he met on Grindr unless he was more or less completely gay. How many random hook-ups with how many different partners before his fatal encounter? We don’t know, but the number of such hook-ups was almost certainly greater than zero.

Is the Bible ‘Hate Speech’?

Posted on | February 22, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Trigger warning: Homophobia and slut-shaming.

“There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.”
— Deuteronomy 23:17 (KJV)

What would happen if a student started quoting the King James Bible in an American university classroom nowadays? It’s frightening to imagine the riots that would probably ensue, with masked Antifa smashing windows and purple-hair fat girls marching around with protest signs.

We are living in an age of decadence and depravity, and Christianity is now so counter-cultural that any teenage rebel looking to cause trouble just needs to keep his Bible handy. It’s easy to joke about the insanity of the Left, but we must remember that Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Floyd Lee Corkins had a pistol and planned to kill everybody at the Family Research Center in 2012. He might have done it, had it not been for the heroic courage of Leo Johnson. That event was foremost in my mind Wednesday when the Southern Poverty Law Center issued its latest “Hate Map.” Make no mistake — if you disagree with the SPLC’s left-wing agenda, they want you dead. The whole point of their annual “Hate Map” is to dehumanize the people listed, to make them targets of reprisals (see “The Terrifying Rise of Financial Blacklisting,” by Allum Bokhari). If you become a dot on the SPLC’s “Hate Map,” it could cost you your life.

 

Years ago, I started my journalism career at the Cobb News Chronicle, a weekly paper in Austell, Georgia, that has since gone out of business. Our circulation was in the South Cobb area — Austell, Mableton and Powder Springs — and I got paid $4.50 an hour, including my Wednesday duties driving a van to deliver the paper on a route that took me up past the mill in Clarkdale to Powder Springs. In those days, McEachern High School in Powder Springs was a phenomenal force in football, having installed the “Chinese Bandits” offense of the Delaware wing-T, and so I knew that community very well. Growing up in nearby Lithia Springs — in eastern Douglas County, just across the county line from Austell — that whole area was my old stomping grounds. Well, imagine my surprise this week when I clicked on the SPLC map for “Anti-LGBT Hate Groups” . . .

 

That dot on the map is American Vision, a Christian conservative group I’d never heard of, but my curiosity was aroused, and I began researching. Research is a habit of mine, you know. Unlike a lot of journalists, I’m not content to regurgitate whatever propaganda is manufactured by the machinery of media hype — that wasn’t the way my editors taught me back in the day. So I started digging into everything I could find about American Vision and realized they are a very familiar sort of latter-day Calvinists — Rushdoony, “theonomy,” “dominion,” etc. — with a strong libertarian streak. If you know who Joe Morecraft is (he preached the sermon at Larry McDonald‘s funeral), you recognize this kind of hard-core Presbyterianism, which is not remotely as scary as the SPLC might have you think. The current president of American Vision has a Ph.D. in theology and has written several books, and it occurred to me — as it apparently never occurred to any other reporter in America this week — to give Dr. Joel McDurmon a call at his office:

Citizens of Powder Springs, Georgia, probably have no idea they are a dot on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s annual “Hate Map,” which was published this week and achieved its purpose, i.e., generating scary headlines: “Hate group count hits 20-year high amid rise in white supremacy, report says” (USA Today), “U.S. Hate Groups Rose 30 Percent In Recent Years, Watchdog Group Reports” (NPR), and “Trump ‘fear-mongering’ fuels rise of U.S. hate groups to record: watchdog” (Reuters). The journalists who supply the SPLC with this kind of free publicity seldom if ever bother to dig down into the details of these annual reports, so it’s unlikely that USA Today readers or NPR listeners in Powder Springs are aware that one of these “hate groups” has made their town a dot on the map.
Located in the prosperous Cobb County suburbs of Atlanta, Powder Springs has more than tripled its population in the 30-odd years since I worked there as a young newspaper reporter. However, I had no idea there was a “hate group” in Powder Springs until I clicked on the SPLC’s latest map and found that the town of 14,000 people is home to American Vision, a small 501(c)3 “Biblical Worldview Ministry” currently led by Dr. Joel McDurmon, author of such books as God Versus Socialism: A Biblical Critique of the New Social Gospel (2009) and Restoring America: One County at a Time (2012). A theologian by training, McDurmon’s views can perhaps be most easily summarized as Calvinist and libertarian, and the question is: Why is this Christian non-profit organization with an office in Powder Springs labeled an “Anti-LGBT Hate Group” by the SPLC?
“Merely because we have always stood by the Bible’s position on homosexuality,” McDurmon told me in a phone interview the day the latest “Hate Map” was published. . . .

You can read the rest of my column at The American Spectator (which got linked today by Professor Reynolds at Instapundit — thanks).

‘There Is No Deep State’

Posted on | February 21, 2019 | Comments Off on ‘There Is No Deep State’

So says Ace of Spades, remarking on the astonishing report that an IRS bureaucrat has been charged with leaking Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s bank records to reporter Ronan Farrow and attorney Michael Avenatti last year. The bureaucrat, based in the IRS San Francisco office, was evidently in the throes of Trump Derangement Syndrome, telling Farrow: “To say that I am terrified right now would be an understatement. This is a terrifying time to be an American, to be in this situation, and to watch all of this unfold.”

Yeah, and you know what else is terrifying? The idea that our government hires criminals to spy on the financial records of their enemies.

Also terrifying: Federal prison. Bon voyage!

What Counts as a ‘Conspiracy Theory’?

Posted on | February 21, 2019 | Comments Off on What Counts as a ‘Conspiracy Theory’?

Liberals would have you believe that any facts or arguments that support conservative beliefs are either “myths” or “conspiracy theories.” Take Christianity, for example. Every liberal will tell you that the Bible is false and that Christianity is simply a “myth.” You will notice, however, that liberals never say this about Islam. Why? Because liberals are not interested in attacking Islamic beliefs, whereas Christianity is highly correlated with support for the Republican Party, as exit poll data show.

 

Among Protestants, Trump won by a 17-point margin, whereas among voters with “no religion,” Hillary won by a 42-point margin. Trump won voters who attend church weekly by a 14-point margin, whereas Hillary scored a 32-point margin among voters who never attend church. Is it even necessary to explain why, therefore, liberals make a habit of insulting Christians and mocking Bible-based beliefs? Democrats can read these exit poll numbers as well as I can, which is why Democrat billionaires pour contributions into the coffers of organizations like the SPLC to smear Christian ministries as “hate groups.”

It is not a “conspiracy theory” to point out the obvious political motives behind this anti-Christian agenda: Democrats want to destroy the Republican Party and, having identified Christians as a core constituency of the GOP, Democrats are attacking Christianity. “SJWs Always Project,” as Vox Day says, and the accusation that conservatives are promoting “conspiracy theories” is a projection of liberals’ own paranoid fears about their “right-wing” adversaries. Consider the reaction when a supposedly objective news organization hired a Republican:

When CNN recently hired Sarah Isgur, Jeff Sessions’ former spokeswoman, to be a political editor at its Washington bureau, the predictable backlash from left-dominated media types and activists followed. Even the allegedly unbiased CNN newsroom was reportedly “demoralized” at the mere thought of a Republican on staff. No word on how former Obama official, now CNN’s chief national security correspondent and co-anchor of “CNN Newsroom,” Jim Sciutto, felt about the development.
Isgur was accused of holding various right-of-center positions. And when a former political activist-turned-Vox writer claimed that Isgur “pushed Planned Parenthood conspiracy theories that were grounded in misleadingly edited videos,” the talking point quickly gained popularity with Isgur’ detractors.
The alleged proof of this conspiracy theorizing resides in a single retweet of a Federalist piece written by my colleague Mollie Hemingway, praising Isgur’s former boss Carly Fiorina for highlighting a series of undercover videos released in 2015, clearly catching Planned Parenthood executives and doctors admitting to illegally profiting from the sale of the fetal tissue of aborted babies.
The only conspiracy theory attached to the incident was spread by pro-abortion activists and Planned Parenthood apologists, which included CNN’s news division and other major media outlets, who either ignored the shocking videos or falsely and repeatedly claimed that videos of executives breezily discussing the harvesting and illegal selling of baby parts had been “heavily” and “deceptively” edited. . . .

Read the rest by David Harsanyi at The Federalist. The reaction to Isgur’s hiring shows that liberals consider CNN their political fiefdom, where Republicans are deliberately excluded from employment.

Even though the videos about Planned Parenthood clearly showed what conservatives say they showed, liberals falsely accused Isgur of promoting a “conspiracy theory” by retweeting a column about the videos. Major media organizations employ numerous partisan Democrats (e.g., George Stephanopoulos at ABC, Chris Matthews at NBC) while enforcing a “no Republicans allowed” policy, but if anyone points out this bias?

Oh, that’s just a right-wing “conspiracy theory.” Lather, rinse, repeat.
