Tyler O’Neil Strives To Paint Corey Stewart As A White *YAWN* Supremacist

Posted on | June 13, 2018 | 1 Comment

by Smitty

Another primary, another strident nominee, another round of Seals & Crofts fans rushing to denounce the Terrifying Specter of a Republican Candidate with a Backbone.

Crimes:
1. “The candidate took an uncompromisingly positive position about symbols of the Confederacy during last year’s campaign.”
The statues had been there for generations. While communities should certainly be able to decide what they’re doing with their public spaces, come on. You got roped in by a left-wing propaganda play, Tyler.

I’ve only lived in Virginia for ~20 years. I lack any romantic connection to the Confederacy.

But I smelled rat, and it was coming from the Left, not the miniscule self-pity-party that is White Supremacy (which would wither completely if the media would give it a thorough ignoring.)

2. “When running for governor last year, Stewart hosted rallies in front of Confederate flags. At many of these rallies, activist Jason Kessler spoke. Kessler later became infamous as an organizer of the “Unite the Right” rally which sparked the white nationalist violence in Charlottesville.”
We need to get to three points and hit the target word count, so lets zoom in on the first charge and go for some guilt by association.

So what if few know who this guy is (I’ve never heard of him, and I flatter myself that I represent “reasonably” informed) if it’s important that Kessler be important so that important writers can make this point important–well, that’s important. Because its importance has been established.

3. “Also during his campaign for governor, Stewart paid Paul Nehlen $759 to rent his email list for fundraising. Video later surfaced showing Stewart praising Nehlen as one of his “personal heroes” and declaring that he was “inspired” by Nehlen’s challenge to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.).”
Nehlen I have heard of. I was unaware of Nehlen’s high social- and social media crimes and misdemeanors:

Nehlen has associated himself with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, and has engaged white supremacist figures like Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer and “Crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell.
Nehlen got himself banned from Twitter in February for using anti-Semitic language and for posting a photoshopped image of biracial actress Meghan Markle (now wife of Prince Harry). The tweet superimposed the face of Cheddar Man, a dark-skinned Mesolithic man believed to be one of the earliest humans in Britain, on Markle’s face. “Honey does this tie make my face look pale?” Nehlen disgustingly tweeted, with the image.

These are as impressive as people attacking BHO over his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, daming America. Sure, Wright deserves to be laughed at in public for laughable opinions, but this business of policing peoples’ associations, and insinuating that, welp, A was at event B, and so was C, and C knows D, and by the Transitive Power of Alinsky, Corey Stewart is some kind of Foaming H8-Monger. This is a good time to cut that nonsense out.

So, sorry, Tyler. Your post is worthwhile in the sense of raising something worth keeping an eye on. But the other 99% of it is pure concern trolling of a sort that has got to please Tim “Tiny Dancer”  Kaine, and for that you get no thanks.

Vote Corey Stewart

Stick a fork in politcal correctness

Report: Brett Kimberlin and DNC Staffer Helped Push ‘Russiagate’ to Feds

Posted on | June 13, 2018 | Comments Off on Report: Brett Kimberlin and DNC Staffer Helped Push ‘Russiagate’ to Feds

‘Speedway Bomber’ Brett Kimberlin was sentenced to 50 years in 1981

From the Populist TV Morning Report:

In an exclusive report, Lee Stranahan highlighted a Facebook post by operative Alexandra Chalupa made the day after the 2016 election where Chalupa said: “Homeland Security / DOJ teamed up with a group that is part of Anonymous based in Washington D.C. called “The Protectors.”
The alleged hacking group “The Protectors” is believed to actually be convicted serial bomber Brett Kimberlin, who worked with Chalupa during and after the election.
A 2012 story about The Protectors has more details on the sketchy claims about the group that Chalupa said worked with the Obama administration.

If you don’t follow Stranahan on Twitter, you may have missed this important news, which Lee livestreamed via Periscope.

Before he went live on Twitter with this report, Lee called me to explain what he had discovered. Alexandra Chalupa was a DNC staffer who left that job in summer 2016 to focus full-time on the Trump/Russia angle. Her association with Kimberlin was reported in 2017. Yet until Lee started poking around, no one seems to have caught the significance of her Facebook post, in which she asserted that “The Protectors” (apparently an online front for Kimberlin’s tax-exempt Justice Through Music Project, and likely involving Neal Rauhauser) had “teamed up” with federal agencies to encourage investigation of the phony Russian “collusion” narrative. Such a connection, if proven, would almost certainly be of interest to current DOJ officials trying to get to the bottom of so-called “Deep State” efforts by federal employees to sabotage the Trump administration. Expect more news about this.

UPDATE: Linked by Vox Day — thanks!

‘Operation Broken Heart’: Feds Bust More Than 2,300 Online Sexual Predators

Posted on | June 12, 2018 | 1 Comment

Department of Justice press release:

The Department of Justice today announced the arrest of more than 2,300 suspected online child sex offenders during a three-month, nationwide, operation conducted by Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces. The task forces identified 195 offenders who either produced child pornography or committed child sexual abuse, and 383 children who suffered recent, ongoing, or historical sexual abuse or production of child pornography.
The 61 ICAC task forces, located in all 50 states and comprised of more than 4,500 federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies, led the coordinated operation known as “Broken Heart” during the months of March, April, and May 2018. During the course of the operation, the task forces investigated more than 25,200 complaints of technology-facilitated crimes against children and delivered more than 3,700 presentations on Internet safety to over 390,000 youth and adults.
“No child should ever have to endure sexual abuse,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said. “And yet, in recent years, certain forms of modern technology have facilitated the spread of child pornography and created greater incentives for its production. We at the Department of Justice are determined to strike back against these repugnant crimes. It is shocking and very sad that in this one operation, we have arrested more than 2,300 alleged child predators and investigated some 25,200 sexual abuse complaints. Any would-be criminal should be warned: this Department will remain relentless in hunting down those who victimize our children.”
The operation targeted suspects who: (1) produce, distribute, receive and possess child pornography; (2) engage in online enticement of children for sexual purposes; (3) engage in the sex trafficking of children; and (4) travel across state lines or to foreign countries and sexually abuse children.

(Hat-tip: An Open Secret on Twitter.)

UPDATE: Among those arrested in this federal sweep was a Maryland man who was an employee of the U.S. Secret Service.

 

Trump Wins, and the Left Complains

Posted on | June 12, 2018 | Comments Off on Trump Wins, and the Left Complains

 

No matter how much President Trump succeeds, the Left simply will not acknowledge his success. The headline on Robert Kuttner’s American Prospect column — asserting that Trump is inflicting “damage” by his “disastrous diplomacy” with North Korea — shows how the Left is committed to denying any recognition of Trump’s success.

What is Professor Kuttner’s argument?

It’s hardly a surprise that Donald Trump blew up the Group of Seven summit. In his warped view of the world, America’s closest allies are enemies, and nations that represent dangerous threats are friends.
Thus Russia is to be welcomed back, while Canada, about as benign a neighbor as exists, is a menace for taking advantage of the United States on trade. (Fact check: The U.S. government’s own data suggest the United States ran a small trade surplus with Canada in 2017.) The European Union, whose subsidy and open-market policies are on a par with our own, is seen as a bigger threat than mercantilist China. And North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-Un gets warmer words than the leaders of Europe.
Has the world gone mad? No, only Donald Trump.

Has the world gone mad? No, only Professor Kuttner. He engages in the simple tactic of argument by assertion — he says that Trump views our “closest allies as enemies,” and expects us to accept this as fact, without further discussion. Likewise, Professor Kuttner contrasts the “warm words” Trump expressed during the negotiations with Kim to what Trump has said about “leaders of Europe,” without regard to context.

Trump’s deliberate disruption of the diplomatic status quo, his willingness to re-examine our relationship with “America’s closest allies” is one of those crazy-like-a-fox moves that cannot be understood by those committed to defending the convention wisdom, Left or Right. Professor Kuttner expresses the Establishment’s sense of a “world gone mad” without bothering to ask the fundamental question: Why?

Isn’t it obvious that Trump’s unpredictability is a tactic?

Trump knows a simple truth of business: You will always negotiate from a position of weakness if you are unwilling to walk away from the deal.

Embrace the power of “no.”

The United States possesses both the world’s most powerful economy and the world’s most powerful military. Why should “America’s closest allies” be permitted to treat us disrespectfully, as if such alliances are a one-way street with no reciprocal obligations on their part? Why should Canada or the European Union be allowed to act as though America’s friendship can be taken for granted, and that we have no way to prevent them from enacting policies that are harmful to American interests?

As for Trump’s “warm words” for the North Korean dictator, was his conduct not influenced by the advice of Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, two of the most hawkish Republicans imaginable? Do these men understand better how to deal with Kim than does Professor Kuttner? Maybe these men, with access to every bit of information our intelligence agencies can supply, know something that the professor doesn’t?

What matters, in diplomacy as in business, is results. President Trump has been in office less than 18 months. It is too soon to know what the long-term consequences of his policies will be. But the man has a winning record so far. Almost no one imagined Trump could ever have been elected President, but he did it. Trump’s behavior intimidates and mystifies people, and I don’t think this effect is accidental. Trump doesn’t care whether you like him personally or understand what he’s doing. Trump cares about exactly one thing: Winning.

As the man said, the United States has the power to wipe the Pyongyang regime off the face of the Earth with “fire and fury.”

 

If it came to war, America would not lose, and Kim would certainly be dead. Trump knows this, Kim knows this, and if Professor Kuttner doesn’t understand this, what kind of “expert” is he?

Aren’t Japan, South Korea and Taiwan among our “closest allies”? Haven’t these allies grown tired of America refusing to take action to halt the North Korean nuclear threat? Is it not also the case that North Korea is dependent upon support from China, so that by playing hardball with Kim, Trump thereby sends a message to Beijing? And isn’t this helpful to our “closest allies” in Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand?

Donald Trump is not stupid. Crazy maybe, but not stupid.

It’s his craziness that unnerves Trump’s enemies, both foreign and domestic. They cannot predict his behavior — does he really mean all those crazy things he says? — and this unpredictability puts Trump’s antagonists at a disadvantage. Furthermore, Trump has a knack of getting away with errors that would destroy anyone else in politics. When the Access Hollywood tapes became public in October 2016, I thought, “That’s it. He can’t possibly win now” — and I was wrong.

Trump was proven right. He really could grab them by the you-know-what and they didn’t mind — 53% of white women voted for him.

Nobody voted for Professor Kuttner, and American women wouldn’t want to be grabbed by him. This probably bothers Professor Kuttner more than anything Trump said or did during the Singapore summit.

Winners win, and losers complain. As one of my college professors liked to say, the dogs may bark, but the caravan rolls on.
