Get this. CNN”s Blitz Wolfer wad speculating on air and trying to tie today’s vehicle attack in Barcelona with Charollteville. It’s it a copy cat??? Is it?? Is it, Wally?
Holy Smokes, now they have gone off the rails. They spout they are a legitimate news organizion (or try to be), but this is off the charts. The reporters and broadcasters @ Clinton News Network have gone completely rouge. I can take some bias, expect a lot of bias, but they have gone totally insane. Totally friggin insane.
-First, ISIS and its operatives have been using vehicles to mow down innocent bystanders for quite some time now. Paris, Cannes, England, other places from there to Israel come to mind.
-Second, there is at least two houses raided, one is a bomb making factory, in Spain.
-Third, These attacks take a lot of planning and was well in the works before the Dodge Challenger plowed down people…going in reverse in Charlottesville.
-Fourth, ISIS does not need the Klan wannabes to show them how or what to do. They have written their own how to manuals.
There was no new information at the time of broadcast. I was driving picking it up on my new fancy ray-dee-o. CNN knew only what we all know. Some details, not much about the second house. that ISIS claims responsibility, more at 11. Yet, they are trying to tie Neo-Nazis and skinheads to ISIS…or vice versa. All roads lead to Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Beam me up Scottie. That is not journalism, that is not a news broadcast. That is not even news what I heard on the radio of this afternoon’s CNN’s live broadcast. That is a full blown no holds barred cagematch fight to the death unhinged rebellion against any pretense of news journalism. They done gone off the reservation and on the warpath, filled to the gills with firewater or something that made them go crazier than a sock full of rats. They have gone stark raving insane.
I expect outlets like MSNBC to be fringe extreme left wing liberal chattering teeth. But CNN did something today that has probably never been done in the history of news reporting. No details, but tie ISIS to White Supremists, thus to Trump. Then cover their shaved asses with…”we don’t have any information for certain whether thiis vehicle attack in Spain is a copy cat inspired attack of Charlottesville, but they both used vehicles!!!!!” Same modus operandi.
Trump was right again. They are very fakenews. Very.

The Beat Goes On
We now have the last two Republican presidential nominees (McCain and Romney) and the last two Republican Presidents (BUSH and Bush) disavowing Trump. He should walk away or this will get ugly.
“Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called on President Donald Trump to “acknowledge that he was wrong” and apologize for his remarks about the violent Charlottesville rally.
In a Facebook post Friday, Romney urged Trump to “state forcefully and unequivocally that racists are 100% to blame for the murder and violence in Charlottesville.” He asked the president to “definitively repudiate” the support of David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who thanked Trump for condemning “leftist terrorists” in his remarks on the events in Virginia.
“Whether he intended to or not, what [Trump] communicated caused racists to rejoice, minorities to weep, and the vast heart of America to mourn,” Romney wrote.
Romney emphasized that Trump’s hesitation to explicitly condemn white supremacist groups could be a national security issue.
“Our allies around the world are stunned and our enemies celebrate; America’s ability to help secure a peaceful and prosperous world is diminished,” Romney wrote. “And who would want to come to the aid of a country they perceive as racist if ever the need were to arise, as it did after 9/11?”
He also argued Trump should be setting a better example for children across America.”

Inconceivable. They knew better.

Boy, when the Left fringe starting going violent….going back to OWS, they got a taste of it and liked it. Throwing purple paint on a water foundation in downtown LA at the old Pueblo….been there since the 1830’s….was not expected. Not expected cause the City put up good tall strong fencing to protect the water fountain in la ciudad de los angeles. But, that’s who they are and let’s not underestamite them. Don’t want to overestimate them either. I think they are still around 19%, don’t see them ever getting above 26%, including sympathizes. Time will tell. They have the spotlight and the microphone. SWJs are here…….they have left campus and are presenting themselves to America.
Reader’s Digest Version: What used to be now and then is now becoming more now and less then. Violence: no longer spread out with weeks or months in between. The frequency of episodes and shorten time span between occurances with head cracking hooligans is going to be one blurring into the other until is just one big happy wardance with daily rioting in the streets.. They like it too much. It’s getting everyone’s full attention. Gives them a big woody
The interesting thing I watching the Marxist Communists tell the fascists, anarchists, and even some Leninist commies why their way/brand (the future rulers) of Communism is superior. Better. The Nazis really hated the commies, Hilter insanely so. And they were socialists. Hmmm. Might get tribal. They want all cities coast to coast in an uproar…at the same time.
Mass hysteria. Redux of that time the radio station broadcasted Orsen Wells’s ‘War of the Worlds’ and people were fainting and having heart attacks and pulling out the gun, and looking out the windows in total fright, freaking out, and weirding out. Maybe it started with the media wetting themselves in public and pissed off that they know that we know we saw the big wet spots below the waist growing bigger and bigger and they know that we know that they pissed all over themselves in front of the whole world and they are now going to make Trump pay.
It is a media thing. Trump is going after their agenda and wants to throw a big ole wrench in the gears. The wall, borders, talking tougher to China than they would ever do, tariffs, patriotism, America good, jobs, cuts to their darling sacred cows…and calls them fakenews repeatedly…..without apologizing!
That’s Gregory for the Scott Adam’s link. Mass hysteria. All day been thinking about 20- 30 years ago at a San Diego high school, maybe a jr. high. Anyway, the school sent out notices that they were going to spread something on the playing fields over the weekend and the fields would be closed for the weekend. Some herbicide or pesticide I believe. Come Monday, students started complaining of being in. A trickle, then a flood as the poison sickness spread like wildfire. Oh, it was a big fuzz, made the News big time, reporters, doctors, hazmat trucks, school officials, and even the kitchen sink.
Come to find out, the guys never fertilized (or whatever they were supposed to do) the alethic fields overvthe weekend. Something happened and they couldn’t do the job. Mass hysteria.
