Bipolarized Journalism…


Good grief.  In the latest exhibition of bipolar narrative engineering, the New York Times encapsulates everything wrong with the current state of U.S. journalism.

The first New York Times headline for tomorrow was presented with text: “Trump Urges Unity VS. Racism”… (see below)

… This triggered the mob; who immediately began an apoplectic outrage campaign against the publication.    So the editors jumped quick to the typeset to correct their headline, acquiesce and engineer a more adversarial narrative; as below.

The second New York Times headline for tomorrow was changed to the text: “Assailing Hate But Not Guns”… (see below)

Welcome to narrative engineering by mob rules.

Yup, that’s journalism in 2019.

UK Strips 86-Year-Old of Pension because She Saved £50 a Month


An 86-year-old widow who contributed every week to her pension while working was stripped and left destitute after her local council took away her $50,000 life savings. They claimed she saved too much money and was only allowed to have a maximum of £16,000 in savings. She was a former chambermaid and received means-tested housing benefits where she lived. She saved  £50 a month for 20 years to be able to be independent in her old age. The government has not merely left her destitute, they are still raking her through the courts and demanding fines and penalties.

This is a classic example of how socialism works.

Taming of the Shrew – Following Pelosi Meeting AOC Top Aides Resign…


The progressive elements around Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz are framing the removal of the Justice Democrat leader, Saikat Chakrabarti, as a move to continue the movement beyond the landscape of AOC.  However, in reality it looks like Nancy Pelosi is cracking the whip.

The ultra left-wing “Justice Democrat” movement activated to bring AOC onto the national stage.  However, that same movement, led by Saikat Chakrabarti, was openly stating an objective to target incumbent democrats who were not falling into line behind the most severe messaging of the far-left.

Apparently Pelosi said: enough is enough.

WASHINGTON — Two top aides to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are leaving her congressional office, the freshman lawmaker said in a statement Friday.

Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, and Corbin Trent, her communications director, are departing, her statement said. Trent is joining the congresswoman’s campaign and Chakrabarti plans to join New Consensus, a non-profit that is promoting Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal proposal. (more)

Part of the Jusice Democrat moonbat messaging revolves around convincing the world about the Green New Deal; a program founded upon accepting the end of human life on the planet in twelve years, unless the U.S. abandons fossil fuel energy.  Apparently what happens in China and India doesn’t matter as much. Bad, bad ‘merica & America sucks.

The moonbat influence is so prevalent to the ideology of the party-base almost every presidential candidate was publicly affirming their support for the proposals of the AOC moonbat caucus.   Obviously it doesn’t take a political expert to see how that was causing the 2020 candidate field to look like a bunch of raving mad idiots. [Just ask Bill Maher]

Thus, if Pelosi is going to retain her gavel; and you better believe it will only be removed by prying her fingers from it; the Speaker cannot let this nonsense continue.

More than likely there were a few presidential campaigns having discussions with the DNC about how ridiculous this had become.  It seems the final straw that broke Pelosi’s back was the DCCC losing Executive Director Allison Jaslow, and her entire staff, because they just were not ‘woke’ enough for the moonbat activists.

Hell, even Barack Obama is now viewed as a right-wing fascist by the AOC faction who have sworn off breeding because, well, hell they’ve only got a dozen years left to live and they need their college tuition payments absolved before the planet implodes.  Weird yes, but that’s the moonbat outlook.

The Democrats are in crisis mode as the platform requires keeping the impeachment nuts satiated, eliminating electricity and automobiles and saving the planet by removing straws from the juice boxes in Youngstown Elementary School.  Unfortunately, forcing construction workers in Pennsylvania to eat sustainable algae cakes doesn’t appear to be a talking point Pelosi plans on pushing.

Pelosi is having a hard enough time convincing the AFL-CIO membership to give up their healthcare plan so that Honduran migrants can get free houses; and lately the SEIU is starting to question the value in paying higher taxes just so El Salvador can facilitate sending MS-13 gang members, and the socialists can import cultural exhibitions of medieval disembowelment.   As Omar would say: ‘meh, some people chopped something’.

Yup, removing Saikat Chakrabarti is one step in a process that might take a while…

Nightmare Scenario: What if One of These Democrat Jokers Wins the White House?


Published on Aug 1, 2019

While drunkblogging the Democratic presidential debates this week, Stephen Green suffered a haunting flash-forward: “What if one of these jokers wins?” Not content to replay this endlessly inside his own private Hell, Steve puts the question to Bill Whittle and Scott Ott…and you! How much of the Constitution will survive inside the Democrat presidential blast radius? Does America need to elect a hard socialist to innoculate itself against the disease forever?

Democrats – Are They Self-Destructing?


The Democratic presidential debate in Detroit on Tuesday exposed the battle over the direction of the Democratic Party and its strategy to win back the White House in 2020. The former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper warned that Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal proposals will lead to a “disaster at the ballot box.” Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren simply showed there was no middle ground. Warren said, “You might as well FedEx the election to Donald Trump.” She added, “I don’t know why somebody bothers to run for president of the United States just to talk about what we shouldn’t do and can’t fight for.” She continued, “We can’t choose a candidate we don’t believe in because we’re afraid to do something else.”

The Democrats have a serious risk of self-destructing as a party and could split between the insane socialists and the more center liberals. The 2020 election will be critical for them and 2021 will be a Panic Cycle for the Democrats. The peak was 1938 after the collapse when they were the party of slavery. They elected all four Yearly Bearish Reversals and have consistently been making lower lows.

Are the Neo-Cons in League with Israel?


QUESTION: Do you think the neo-cons who pushed the Iraq War and are pushing to annihilate Iran now, are covertly in league with Israel?

Anonymous

ANSWER: There is an agenda among the neo-cons who WRONGLY believe that overturning various Arab governments and installing democratic systems will protect Israel. I disagree with that philosophy and I believe that they have manipulated the US government into a dangerous agenda. This is why they have been against Trump because he does not want to send American soldiers to the Middle East for an agenda that offers no benefit to the United States whatsoever.

Yes, people speculate that the Israel government is covertly behind the neo-cons, whereas many Israeli people just want peace. I have not seen any direct evidence of that. I do know some of these neo-cons and have had face to face discussions with them over the years. I believe they are seriously wrong and have placed the world into a state of high risk. Their policies have polarized the relationships between the USA and Russia, which is not in the interest of world peace. I have stated many times, my view is simply that war no longer remains valid from a historical perspective. It used to be about conquest and empire-building. Today, nobody wants to occupy their opponent. I see no purpose to war economically. but it has come down to nothing more than a schoolyard brawl where people fight simply because they do not like the other person. There is nothing to gain from this nonsense.
