The blowback from family members, close friends, and employers are usually devastating, given the words “liberal” and “tolerance” are like oil and water. Following through takes bravery most can’t understand and/or are not willing to risk, which makes it infinately more admirable, especially when sincere.

On November 29, 2022, Tucker Carlson alerted us to the story of Winston Marshall who decided to jump into the light, paid for it with the loss of his chosen career in the “Mumford & Sons” band he co-founded, and was invited to share his perspectives last month in the halls of the University of Oxford to debate that current topic of great concern: democracy.

On April 25th, Marshall was invited to debate a motion that “This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy”.

…
Also invited was Democrat Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. As her remarks, based on the premise that “populism is a threat to democracy due to voters being manipulated” are familiar on this side of the pond, you can view her presentation here.

Like most liberal Democrats, she did break courtesy norms and interrupted Marshall when he made logical points, simply because he struck uncomfortable nerves Pelosi just couldn’t let go countered. For that reason, the legacy media didn’t let the American people know of this event and witness her humiliation in real time.

Logic is easier to censor than spin.

According to the deposition of a former Hennepin County prosecutor, the county’s medical examiner told her in a phone call that there “were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.”

One would think that would be the basis for corrective headlines around the civilized world where marches, street protests and traffic disruption, looting and burning of public and private properties, and the psychotic defunding the police was a direct result.

Don’t hold your breath.

But the money line comes as a result of a sex discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by former prosecutor Amy Sweasy. In her deposition, she quoted the medical examiner in the Floyd case….

What happens when the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on? This is the kind of case that ends careers.
— Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker

And Baker has every reason to protect HIS career.

Hennepin County’s medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, has an annual salary of more than $231,000, making him the state’s top paid county employee.
— Twin Cities Pioneer Press

Wouldn’t want the truth to endanger his mortgage payments. Now, multiply that by all of the officials possibly impacted by any controversial topic.

If you think about it, how many times have we been told we must believe something despite things we’ve seen with our own eyes that doesn’t make sense and goes against everything we’re told we must believe?

One thing that comes to mind is the result of the 2020 presidential election where we are still repeated told we must believe there was “no evidence” of vote fraud.

NY Times: Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud
ABC News: No evidence of widespread fraud: Experts
Wall Street Journal: No Evidence of Systematic Fraud in U.S. Elections
The Independent: No evidence of fraud in ‘most secure’ US election in history
Daily Mail: Bret Baier Tells Trump, ‘No Evidence’ of 2020 Election Fraud

There were numerous instances that reeked of funny business on election day, night, and in the days and weeks to follow. Citizens made presentations under oath with local technical experts at legislative hearings, showing glaring anomalies to the process. Suits were filed in courts nationwide and almost all were dismissed. THAT was the basis for the media to uniformly declare that the 2020 election was devoid of fraud and anyone with an inkling of doubt was a conspiracy theorist, election denying sociopath.

And why would that be?

Because regurgitating the lie is safe, especially when generous personal incomes are involved.

What happens when the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on? This is the kind of case that ends careers.

As previously surmised, this could explain why local and state judges declined to take or quickly dismissed cases questioning the results of the 2020 election.

It’s not because the case may or may not have had merit. It could have been because the judge simply didn’t need the hassle. He or she didn’t need unruly and unstable mobs with bullhorns staking out their homes in quiet neighborhoods. He or she didn’t need to weather calls for their firing and demands for contentious interviews with ignorant media types with their narrow minds already made up. Who needs that shit even though the job requires that all sides receive a fair hearing?

The path of least resistance is to accept the lie as truth no matter how many are harmed. Whether we’re talking about a presidential candidate or city where a reduction of law enforcement results in crime run amok and citizens become victims, as long as certain people can go on with their careers with the minimal amount of inconvenience, the truth be damned.

Our job is to control what people think.
— Mika Brzezinski, 2/22/17

So, whether we’re talking about COVID 19, UFOs, racism, Trump, or almost any narrative we’re told we must accept, remember the unrestrained declaration from one of our nation’s brightest journalistic minds and understand these arrogant people are not about the accurate dissemination of information to the public.

What happens when the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on? This is the kind of case that ends careers.

It’s all about making sure that information is friendly to their preferred political party, opulent paychecks and pensions continue undisturbed, and the mob is kept from showing up on their manicured front lawns.

Harvard and UPenn donors are furious over Israel statements
Another big donor cuts ties with an Ivy League school for its ‘misguided moral compass’
Harvard letter: Law students who took anti-Israel stance lose job offers
NYU law student has job offer withdrawn after posting anti-Israel message
3 law students from Harvard, Columbia lost job offers over Israel-Hamas war statements

There comes a time when these students should be considered grownups and held to a standard that involves being accountable for actions.

A question that’s yet to be asked is where was all this outrage over the stance of impressionable (and wrong) college students while they were eagerly protesting on behalf of the fraud that was Black Lives Matter? Not to equate the barbaric loss of life in Israel at the hands of Hamas to what happened here in the United States alone, but why were the adults with checkbooks silent for the entire Summer of 2020?

It’s not like the BLM riots were “mostly peaceful” and relatively harmless. In fact, the aftermath still plagues the United States to this day with ongoing deadly consequences.

Remember “Defund the Police” for starters?

More than 2,000 law enforcement officers were injured in the first weeks of protests over the summer following the in-custody death of George Floyd, according to a report from the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
— Police Magazine, 12/3/20

The language in the streets and on many college campuses called for the killing of police officers and their “Pigs in a Blanket: Fry ’em Like Bacon” fantasies were met.

According to organizations that track violence against police, 56 officers have been killed by gunfire this year — 14% more than this time last year and about 45% ahead of 2020’s pace. While the figures include a few officers killed by accidental gunfire, the number of ambushes in which police were injured or killed in surprise attacks with little chance to defend themselves has soared since 2020 and accounts for nearly half the officers killed this year.
— Associated Press, 10/15/22

One doesn’t have to be an Ivy League college student to know if you have fewer police, you have more crime. While that may not immediately affect millionaires and billionaires who live in protected enclaves, the rest of the country continues to suffer the ramifications.

At least 11 Americans have been killed while participating in political demonstrations this year and another 14 have died in other incidents linked to political unrest, according to new data from a non-profit monitoring political unrest in the United States.
— The Guardian, 10/31/20

The “mostly peaceful” protest came with a hefty price tag.

The protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful, but the arson, vandalism and looting that did occur will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims.
— Axios, 9/16/20

We’re not talking about young people making foolish, harmless statements. In all too many cases, their words and deeds harmed the very people they claimed to be advocating. Some of the white sympathizers even justified the looting and burning of black-owned businesses.

At a recent antifa gathering in Portland, Ore., protesters shared literature arguing for the righteousness of property destruction with titles like “Why Break Windows.” In a media critique earlier this year published on the website Refinery29, Britni de la Cretaz wrote:

“Putting the focus on stealing objects from a store (during a pandemic, no less!) rather than on the injustice behind the looting, the horrific loss of life and racial violence that Black folks live with every day, is sending the message that property matters more than people. It just demonstrates the way that white supremacy sees more value in a TV set than in the life of a Black man.”
— New York Times, 11/9/20

Whether we’re talking Antifa or Britnies, black businesses were considered acceptable collateral damage by young, white so-called activists who were clearly narcissists in need of inclusion in a movement they didn’t create. Many of these young people were either in college or employed.

Where were the billionaire donors while college students nationwide were promoting and participating in activities that resulted in billions of dollars of public and private property damage, much of it in black neighborhoods? Where were the billionaire donors while college students nationwide were promoting the misguided “Defund the Police” concept that have made neighborhoods unsafe, now including the affluent ones? Where were the billionaire donors while college students nationwide were calling for the killing of police offices and those assassinations continue to this day resulting in record-low officer retention and recruitment?

There appears to be few, if any, reports of outraged college donors withdrawing job offers or firing those who may have been involved in disruptive street protests and closures or participation in protesting in black neighborhoods where the looting and burning of businesses was prevalent.

Some of these guilt-assuaged billionaire donors may have embraced the trendy-yet-toxic side effect of the BLM riots: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The impact of the Black Lives Matter movement in corporate America is palpable and the business justification for having meaningful diversity and inclusion programs in the workplace is proven. Diverse businesses are better places to work; they make better decisions, have a more positive profile in the community and earn greater respect in the marketplace. These and other factors generally result in greater financial returns.

So how can you re-define or invigorate diversity and inclusion initiatives in your business?
— Human Resource Executive, 10/2/20

DEI infected almost every entity possible and (as with most liberal experiments) a subsequent underbelly has been exposed.

As a black woman, I was the perfect person for the job — on paper. Yet I made the mistake of trying to create an authentically inclusive learning environment for everyone, including Jewish students.

I saw antisemitism on a weekly basis in my two years as a faculty “diversity, equity and inclusion” director. In fact, I can safely say that toxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people.
— New York Post, 10/18/23

DEI is going to be going away much quicker than the drips over the last year. As DEI is antisemitic, it’s got to go and its removal you know will be tied to any future college donations.

The Hamas massacre in Israel deserved the near-universal condemnation it’s received from those with normal brains. The case could be made that all of the campus Jew-hate delusion the world it witnessing now could have been nipped in the bud years ago had the wallets to these colleges been closed shut.

What’s sad is that an outrage that took place halfway around the world has gotten the attention of the donor class. The outrage of death and destruction that occurred in this country, and the ramifications, since is still pending (if realized at all) from the triggered rich.

UPDATE

During the October 20 episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher”, he piled-on… sort of.

Seeing how he almost always has to reach into his default bash-Republicans mode, Maher took time near the end of his closing monologue to remind us that many of the stoopids who attended Ivy League colleges hold federal offices and he pointed squarely at the GOP. Unlike Maher, let’s not conveniently give Democrat Ivy League alumni like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Steny Hoyer, John Kerry, Eric Holder, Jack Lew, and Valerie Jarrett a pass.

Look at how much damage they’ve done “transforming” America.

Why should Trump voters acquiesce and admit the 2020 election was on the up and up just because the media will shame and ground pound them until they do?

CNN’s Gary Tuchman speaks with New Hampshire voters following the CNN Republican presidential town hall with former President Donald Trump.
— CNN, 5/11/23

We’re to believe the same Joe Biden, who spent most of the campaign out of public view, got more votes than Barack Obama. We’re to believe Joe Biden, who made numerous gaffes of senility and racism, overcame setbacks because he had a superior delivery? We’re to believe all of the vote count irregularities on Election Night and following morning were something we must ignore?

While the Democrats and their media insist there was “no evidence of voter fraud”, that doesn’t really mean it didn’t happen. It’s just they don’t want Republicans to talk about it, especially because the most significant election interference came from the media, the Democrat Party and their activists.

It started right after Donald Trump’s election in 2016. You know, when Democrats insisted he was an illegitimately-elected president and tried to decertify his victory.

And one by one, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — presiding over a joint session of Congress to validate the Electoral College results in Mr. Trump’s victory — turned back their challenges with a stoic message, pounding his gavel without hesitation. “It is over,” Mr. Biden said at one point, as Republicans rose to their feet to cheer.
— New York Times, 1/6/17

The election interference began with the “Russia collusion” hoax, that despite it’s origins from the Hillary Clinton campaign, occupied more than two years of slanderous media coverage and a taxpayer-funded special counsel investigation that offered a half-assed vindication of Trump the left refuses to accept to this day.

If Trump were to reclaim the White House in 2024, Former Attorney General Bill Barr warned of “chaos” and the potential for Trump to self-sabotage his own agenda as president.
— USA Today, 5/7/23

Chaos usually requires a catalyst. In the case of the Trump presidency, it was an unrelentingly partisan media and Deep State, butthurt their preferred Hillary Clinton was rejected by the American people and determined to do everything they could to exact revenge and damage from Day One on.

They attacked hourly for over five years, Trump responded rather directly (see: “mean Tweets”), and we all know a second Trump term would be more of the same.

That’s the “chaos” Barr, other mouthpieces, and Republican presidential candidates will refer to but will absolve the instigators by not mentioning them.

Trump’s first term was engulfed in the “chaos” the left and their media created, resulting in two failed impeachments, an intentional pandemic and despite all that, his accomplishments for the American people were numerous and historic. We always hear the squishy excuse their non-votes because “both sides are the same”. The American people will have a very recent and clear contrast between the Trump and Biden presidencies. Only blind hatred would make a Democrat vote for an additional four years of this shit; their best option would be to stay home, must to the consternation of the left.

More election interference will be needed to offset Biden-voter lethargy, and the first will be to remind and assure voters that vote fraud did not happen in 2020, 2022, and won’t happen in 2024. Common sense won’t work. You have to admit, intimidation did when it counted most.

State and federal judges — some appointed by Trump — have dismissed more than 50 lawsuits brought by Trump or his allies alleging election fraud and other irregularities. Independent experts, governors and state election officials from both parties say there has been no evidence of widespread fraud.
— Reuters, 12/21/20

THIS is the basis for the left’s demand Trump voters accept the election result they worked very hard to achieve. So why would state and federal judges, some appointed by Trump, dismiss these lawsuits? Simple.

The nation witnessed a full summer-plus of liberal Democrats running wild through the streets of America, disrupted public freedom of movement, looted, burned, injured and killed police and civilians alike. The media excused the “mostly peaceful” rioters, demonized law enforcement, and even some politicians worked to fund-raise for the bail to release the domestic terrorists.

The vandalism and looting following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police will cost the insurance industry more than any other violent demonstrations in recent history. The protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful, but the arson, vandalism and looting that did occur will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims
— Axios, 9/16/20

Nine of the people killed during protests were demonstrators taking part in Black Lives Matter protests. Two were conservatives killed after pro-Trump “patriot rallies”. All but one were killed by fellow citizens.
— The Guardian, 10/31/20

Imagine being a judge in 2020; a judge that probably has a spouse and children. Despite their oaths to faithfully render lawful decisions and verdicts, let’s also note they are human beings. They, too, witnessed the summer of violence and it’s understandable that they would prefer not subject themselves and their families to intimidation (or worse) at the hands of organized, angry liberal mobs. It’s not like the left doesn’t intimidate judges, even those with federal protection….

CNN political analyst David Gregory called the attempted murder of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh “horrifying” and slammed the left for being “so hypocritical” about blaming the right for mob violence and not addressing their own side’s role in motivating such behavior.

Gregory declared, “And this is horrifying. I mean, activism has its place, of course, speaking out has its place, but to threaten a Supreme Court justice and his family outside of his home is beyond the pale, cannot be tolerated, every politician has an obligation to stand up, condemn this and to do something about it.”
— Fox News, 6/9/22

Intimidation wasn’t denounced by the left because it’s a tactic they will use until their violence takes out someone of elevated stature on their side. Then we’ll ALL be implicated and told to turn down the volume.

Republican candidates and blabbermouths can warn voters about the possibility of “chaos” if Donald Trump again earns the nomination, let alone the presidency in 2024, but if Ron DeSantis promises calm if he’s elected, he’s either a liar or dangerously naive. Local media is nothing compared to what’s in store for him should he secure the Republican nomination for president. It’s obvious he knows that.

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law Thursday that exempts records related to his travel from the state’s robust public disclosure law. Republicans said the measure was necessary to protect DeSantis and prevent details about his travel habits and security detail from falling into the hands of people who might be plotting an attack on the governor. Asked about the measure last week, DeSantis said it wasn’t his idea.

Sure.

The law applies retroactively and would cover his extensive use of state planes throughout his time as governor. It would also cover records related to visitors to the governor’s mansion, opponents said.
— CNN, 5/11/23

Not a good look from someone who claims to be a voice of calm and reason, compared to you-know-who.

Now that we have millions of new potential Democrat voters (illegal aliens) that will be invading cities and neighborhoods across the nation between now and the next election, there will be more than enough rioting and destruction that will provide cover for any targeted intimidation the left wishes to conduct.

Donald Trump has been there, done that, and seemingly relishes in any opportunity to stick it to the next-in-line who foolishly believes they’ll be the one to finally put him in his place. All the others running have witness it happening to him but it won’t become real until it happens them, and it WILL be real.

There will be chaos. The left has made it not just a threat but a promise.

Cops has been canceled. Paramount Network has decided to dump the long-running true-crime reality TV series. Cops was already pulled from the cable channel after nationwide protests of police brutality and racism following the death of George Floyd on May 25.

Now the network confirms the series has been permanently shelved. “Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return,” a network spokesperson said.
— Entertainment Weekly, 6/9/20

Of course when it comes to Hollywood and money, fingers are always crossed behind the back.

Three months after it was canceled at Paramount Network, Cops is back in production — but is not set to air anywhere in the United States.
— Hollywood Reporter, 10/1/20

And now, the show is coming back home exclusively to Fox Nation with a hitch… the trailer for the October premiere shows only white people as those targeted by the police. (“white Hispanics”, alligators and kittens don’t count.)

It’s only a matter of time before Fox Nation is accused of discriminating against blacks.

We’re still eagerly awaiting an episode or two of a Cops episode shot in Beverly Hills. Then again, we all know why they won’t go there.

During the summer of 2020, we were all subjected to leftist disruption of our freedom of movement on American streets and highways, the wanton desecration and/or removal of monuments, burning and looting of stores, vandalism of private businesses and public buildings, takeover of whole neighborhoods by masked terrorists, and a call by elected Democrats to defund law enforcement. The result was billions of dollars in damage and hundreds of injuries and dozens of unnecessary deaths.

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Laura and I again went to Washington, D.C. to hopefully enjoy the reelection of President Trump. However, the atmosphere was totally different.

The White House was surrounded by riot fencing. Businesses had closed early and were boarded up. Restaurants were mostly closed. With the exception of police cars periodically racing by, the streets had an empty, apocalyptic air. It was clear to all what was most likely to happen should Joe Biden be declared the loser and the city had, for the most part, prepared for the worse and with good reason.

In consuming the latest condemnation of the events at the Capitol on January 6th, it’s amazing to hear the sanctimonious media, self-serving politicians and federal officials lecture Trump supporters about civility. While the “takeover” of the Capitol was uncharacteristic of any Republican rally to date, watching the political elite cower in fear was quite ironic.

Some of them personally experienced what millions of citizens endure on a near-daily basis in crime-ridden Democrat neighborhoods where defunding the police has been proudly proposed and implemented. While now accusing President Trump of inciting “insurrection” on an hourly basis since January 6th, most media outlets WILL NOT air what he actually said at the end of his rally speech.

Based on recent events, it could be argued that had Joe Biden been declared the loser on Election Night 2020, the leftist Democrats and their Antifa sympathizers would still be vandalizing, looting, burning, attacking the police and hundreds of Americans would be the political, collateral damage. Inauguration Day would be a crescendo many would be fearing.

Something the righteous political class conveniently leave out is despite the events of Wednesday on the Hill, Trump supporters (who rightly contend the election was stolen) have yet to vandalize, loot, burn, attack the police, and nationally no one has been injured or killed during “peaceful protests”.

Had Donald Trump been declared the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election, America would be on fire, the worst would be yet to come, and those now demonizing Trump supporters would be justifying the leftist carnage.

So spare us the sanctimonious indignation.

Remember the “Hands up, don’t shoot” narrative that led to the creation of #BlackLivesMatter, the subsequent riots and deterioration of race relations in the United States, if not the world?

Remember what happened after the truth finally came out…?

In a speech in Washington, Attorney General Eric Holder concluded, “Michael Brown’s death, though a tragedy, did not involve prosecutable conduct on the part of Officer Wilson.” Holder said that the decision “represents the sound, considered and independent judgment of the expert career prosecutors,” and that he concurred.

An 86-page report released Wednesday found that physical evidence and “credible” witnesses supported police Officer Darren Wilson’s version of an event that drew international attention and triggered repeated protests that included looting and arson in Ferguson, Dellwood, St. Louis and elsewhere.
— St. Louis Today, 3/5/15

The truth didn’t matter as “Hands up, don’t shoot” (which was never said by Michael Brown) was still a popular chant then and still is to this day.

Now, we have the George Floyd incident which resulted in the reemergence of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and a renewed “discussion” on race in America which has been bolstered by the social media-driven #CancelCulture to the destruction of anyone in their path.

We were again assured that justice would be served and as Americans, we expect to see all the facts so we can make informed decisions.

It’s sad it took a British publication to give Americans pertinent information, months after the fact.

It’s kinda’ scary to think an elected official could withhold possibly exonerating evidence, but we’re not surprised.

It’s kinda’ scary to think the crazies would be allowed to believe one version of events and not see everything so all involved might have taken a step back, but we’re not surprised.

It’s kinda’ scary to think a politician would be willing to see private and public property be vandalized and/or destroyed, citizens and police officers be injured and/or killed, just to win a prosecution… but we’re not surprised.

It’s kinda scary to think Keith Ellison may be on a short list for Attorney General of the United States should Joe Biden win the presidency in November, but it looks like he’s dressing up his resume.

What we can again take from this, as we did going back as far as Trayon Martin, is that we clearly can’t trust what we see when it comes to what is cherry-picked and presented to the public. Had the public been able to see the video preceding the famous punch, Ray Rice might have been able to end his football career on the field, on his terms. Had the public been able to hear all of the audio and not just a selective clip blown up by the media, Donald Sterling might still own the Los Angeles Clippers.

And had the State of Minnesota released all of the body cam video in the George Floyd incident early on, who knows how many lives and property may have been spared from the ignorant mob and we probably wouldn’t be dealing with #DefundThePolice foolishness.

But as long as the elected get what they want, who are we (and the truth) to stand in their way?

We envision a future where liberals and conservatives have separate businesses and it will be fun to observe which succeed, which fail and why. Until then, cancel culture will continue to devour those who succumb to the bullying, putting them at odds with some of their consumers. That is, until a few companies say “not today”. One such company was Goya.

Another company just took the war to the children and spanked hard.

Red Bull has fired two top executives in the US who had lobbied for more diversity in the company and were blamed for the leak of a letter that criticized its ‘public silence’ on Black Lives Matter. North America chief executive Stefan Kozak and North America president and chief marketing officer Amy Taylor were let go, the energy drink company said Tuesday.

While Red Bull employees in the US have been pressing for the company to be more vocal about racism, Red Bull’s billionaire CEO Dietrich Mateschitz is a Donald Trump admirer who has spoken out against ‘political correctness’. The 76-year-old tycoon also owns a media firm which has been criticized for giving a platform to far-right activists in his native Austria.

Sources told Business Insider that Red Bull’s top executives in Austria are thought to have fired Kozak and Taylor in ‘retaliation’ for the leak, although no official reason was given for their departure. The letter signed by more than 300 employees had criticized the company for ‘saying nothing’ amid the global anti-racism protests and ‘abandoning the communities we claim to support and foster in their time of greatest need’.

Both Kozak and Taylor have pushed for more diversity and inclusion but Taylor was ‘met with opposition’ when she called for the company to take a more public stand on racism, The Wall Street Journal reports.
— Daily Mail (UK), 7/15/20

According to reports, it was an internal outrage that may have set this all off.

Three weeks later, employees leaked a slide from a February U.S. culture marketing team meeting that depicted a world map meme labeled with racist stereotypes. Florian Klaass, the company’s head of global culture and marketing who was responsible for the offensive slide, was also fired.

One obvious subplot, consistent with what’s going on in the world, is the level of immaturity being display by so-called professionals.

The slide shows a distorted map from the viewpoint of an ignorant US consumer. “America!!! We’re #1!!!” is emblazoned across the United States, while an arrow pointing to the Caribbean says “cruise ships go here.” Canada to the north is labeled “Uninhabited.” Mexico and South America are marked “coffee comes from here I think.”

Across the Atlantic, Europe is labeled “pussies” and Africa is marked “zoo animals come from here.” Farther east, the Middle East is labeled “evil doers” with an arrow pointing to the region saying “bombs go here.”  Russia is “Communists,” while China was labeled “they make our stuff.” Japan has an arrow pointing to it, saying: “TVs and cameras.”

Australia was labeled “kangaroos” and Antarctica was “cold.”  An oblong landmass that could be Greenland or the Arctic Circle is labeled “Santa!”
— New York Post, 7/16/20

Stereotypes have always had a basis in inconvenient truth. But let’s also not forget that when the left throws around insults, it’s downplayed and/or defended as a joke or satire.

Hopefully more of these 300 employees are purged as political discrimination is legal and these liberals need get a taste of the medicine they’ve happily poured down the throats of conservatives for decades. We also hope this inspires other CEOs to stand up to the millennial mobs and say “No más” to the petulant children’s shenanigans and demands.

Once these punks spend their own money to start a business, they can be as juvenile as desired and alter the mission for that business any time they please. But if they can’t be grateful they have a job and decide they know how to direct a company’s direction better than the person(s) who created it, they should at least be ready so the door doesn’t hit them on the way out.

During Donald Trump’s first term, Democrats were in vocal and legislative opposition but they weren’t hurting financially either. Their personal portfolios have benefited like those of millions of Americans. But after the 2018 midterms, a political fissure erupted within the Democrat Party; a fissure that was unprecedented and probably horrifying to blindsided leadership.

It was called gross insubordination by punk ass freshmen.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi implored her majority, after days of high-profile public infighting, to focus on common goals — including defeating President Donald Trump — and to silence the sniping that threatens their fragile hold on power. The lengthy closed-door session underscored the broader divisions between her centrist and liberal members — and between Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with her “squad” of star-power freshmen — that are testing party unity and reshaping Democrats ahead of the 2020 election.

“We’re a family and we have our moments,” Pelosi told colleagues. “You got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it. But do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just OK.”
— Associated Press, 7/10/19

Incoming freshmen were traditionally given closet-size rooms on the top floor of the Cannon House Office Building, furthest away from the elevator and closest to the stairs. They may receive insignificant committee assignments, if at all. Their first term was one of learning the ropes, and above all else, respecting the established hierarchy. The 2018 Democrat freshmen class, led by AOC, blew that up.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York suggested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been “singling out” freshman congresswomen of color — the latest charge in a growing rift between the leader of the party in the chamber and the high-profile progressive freshman.

“When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,” Ocasio-Cortez told The Washington Post in an interview published Wednesday. “But the persistent singling out … it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful … the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color,” Ocasio-Cortez added.
— CNN, 7/11/19

Democrats like to accuse others, rightly or wrongly, of racism. They, especially a Democrat speaker, don’t like it when they’re accused by petulant “women of color” freshmen. You know Pelosi was privately fuming….

According to the media, there was a reconciliation.

Really?

At that time, the Trump economy was rolling along like a freight train. If you go by James Carville’s “It’s the economy, stupid”, higher ups within the DNC were probably ready to throw in the 2020 towel. But there was another problem: AOC and the Squad had the attention of millions, they were driving a socialist agenda that was way too radical for a party that always tried to appear level-headed and “moderate”. The Squad’s followers were rabid and out of the control of Pelosi and other senior party members.

Could the total upheaval of norms we’re seeing today be a plot to assure Democrats lose ugly in 2020?

After every presidential election, there is that customary public postmortem.

Speaker Pelosi will not accept any blame for a Trump landslide victory. She will not pile on the Democratic National Committee or any party PAC. Democrat Capitol Hill leadership will not assume responsibility for an electoral beat down. Despite any political loss, Pelosi and her party leadership will personally weather any storm so burning down the house will not put them on the street.

However, Democrats might blame a 2020 presidential and down-ballot shellacking on the disastrous messaging from irrational freshmen and call for a more reasoned and traditional agenda for the Democrat Party. Translation: they’ll summarily set the insubordinate children up to be primaried and hopefully banished in 2022.

Seriously, even the staunchest of Democrats weren’t for a job-killing Green New Deal, let alone the violence and destruction associated with #BlackLivesMatter and a George Floyd crisis not wasted. Most Democrat voters aren’t for dismantling police forces around the country. Liberal CEOs, professionals, academics, entertainment celebrities, and other big money donors nationwide are being bit by the millennials’ #CancelCulture and you know whose private phone numbers they have on speed dial.

Maybe the party is giving their socialist know-it-all loudmouths the rope to hang themselves.

And given the media allegiance to the Democrat Party, all these polls implying President Trump being behind by double digits is not a fluke. The Democrat base is being set up for a face plant into the concrete. Look who they’re presenting to their base as the party presidential nominee. A possibly senile old man who really has nothing to lose when it comes to a political career, unlike those whose names are being bandied about. Why do you think it’s taking so long for Joe Biden’s campaign to find a running mate? Who’s going to want that on a resume once the long knives of finger-pointing begins the morning after a Trump landslide?

A mass defection to Donald Trump combined with a depressed party turnout mean Democrats could find themselves in the minority again. Do you really think Nancy Pelosi will accept blame when having to give up the gavel while positioning herself to be Minority Leader? Do you think any of the senior members will decide embracing and publicly justifying socialism, CHOP zones, vandalism and/or removal of monuments, and “mostly peaceful” protests in the streets will be the template for 2022 success?

Do you think they’ll allow themselves to be forced to kneel again… ever?

Washington, D.C. should be renamed to what it’s always been known for: Washington CYA. Specifically, that’s how Democrats become old Democrats.

There will be a concerted effort, should the Election 2020 Democrat ass-whuppin’ be felt from Capitol Hill down through every state legislature, to have a message publicly sent that things will go back to the ways they’ve always been done. Democrats will again want to appear moderate and they’ll promise to go back to their safer default where they can “pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”.

The media will be directed to turn on The Squad. Their arrogance will be highlighted and replayed in slow motion. Apologies won’t be issued, making matters worse. The inside-the-Beltway establishment will assert their rightful authority, showing no desire to spare the rod. Like the old days, these children will be spanked in the street for all to see.

UPDATE

Not only has the Democrat Party put all their eggs in a basket carried by a man with clear cognitive issues, but now with a woman who was so popular with the base that she was the first to drop out during their presidential primary season.

Who does that?

Again, the question should be why….

Simple. Most of us have common sense.

We grew up during a time when we had a parent or parents who drummed into our heads that NOTHING good came from being on the street at night. Most of us remember being told and adhering to being on our way home when the street lights came on. We were home and thereby, didn’t get into any trouble.

But in the event we did encounter the police, rules were passed down by our elders that made sense.

Do not run away from the police. That obviously implies some kind of guilt.

Politely cooperate and under no circumstances mouth off to an officer.

Those two simple rules almost always guaranteed a safe return home that evening, with possibly just a warning from the officer, if that.

Do not try to physically assault and/or injure a police officer.

Do not try to take a police officer’s gun, taser, etc. away from him or her.

Mouthing off to a police officer is bad enough. Assaulting a police officer and actually attempting to go for his or her taser or gun…? Not saying you’d deserve to die for doing that, but it’s an invitation for that cause-and-effect discussion at the least.

How many of those now in the headlines, embraced by #BlackLivesMatter and those who support their cause, have achieved martyr status unnecessarily? Had they observed common sense and not escalated a situation, chances are good they’d still be with us today.

But when we have parents who allow their children to be out late at night (doing God knows what) and they invite a negative police interaction, it’s “systemic racism”.

Many black people continue to live long lives, having little (if any) contact with the police. We consider them the welcome thin blue line protecting us from thugs of all colors. We’ve lived this long because we respect society, other people, and the police.

Common sense.
