Only Trump can defeat Trump.
Our liberal readers really don’t understand what real ‘fake news’ is, and they throw that notion around as they do with terms like ‘racist’, which they also don’t understand. Since they are a class-oriented people, liberals don’t look at the message, only the class membership of the messenger. If it’s of the wrong type, they immediately disregard what the messenger brings, and vice-versa. As demonstrated here for years, the NYT and WaPo are prime purveyors of fake news to the nation’s light readers, as always cited by the falsity of their messages. Here is another example of fake news they manufactured regarding the Russian collusion imbroglio. Read Daily Caller’s ‘Russian Oligarch’s Ties To Manafort, Steele Posed Intel Risks, Senate Report Says’, and note what critical parts of the Senate’s report these newspapers left out, altering the message to support their ongoing progressive narrative – all of it invisible to their blindered true believers.
Bumblebrain bumbles again – “If the scientists say shut it down, I’ll shut it down. I go with science.” The manchild has no clue how science or the government works. His concept of science is what mommy tells an 8-year-old about science. There is only one science and the good scientist tells us what it is. Young children are not exposed to the wide diversity of scientific interpretations of literally every phenomenon – science is simply what mommy says it is. The executive listens to scientists of all hues and then decides – it’s not easy and that’s why they get paid the big bucks. And shutting down the country’s social and commercial activities – the President has no constitutional authority to do that under our federal system; all he can do is jawbone the states. And after 40 years in the Senate, Biden is still such a naïf, and getting more addled by the day, that he knows none of this.
[25aug20 update] America will suffer its greatest assault on religious institutions after a Biden victory according to the policy platform laid out by the Democrats. The Big Lie that’s supposed to make us somnolent on the matter is bead-carrying Biden’s touted devotion to Catholicism. As Bill McGurn points out here, nothing could be further from truth. The Dems have never liked religion and its non-profit agencies and enterprises as a competitor that provide succoring services which always outshine similar government efforts in performance and cost. Their solution, always practiced by socialists, is to constrain and reduce religious liberties. The current approach by Team Biden and Democrats will be up the ante on licensing requirements and tax exemptions for non-profit, religious agencies offering everything from foster child care to parochial education. According to their platform, these strictures will “reject” the “broad religious exemptions” that “allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies and others to discriminate.” In other words, religious liberty.
‘The US Admits Too Few Refugees’ argues Reid Ribble, former Republican congress critter from Wisconsin. His makes the point that “America should open its doors to those fleeing communism and religious persecution”, and goes on to cite our country’s core values in welcoming the oppressed as the basis for increasing our allotment of such refugees back to the almost 100K/yr level. (more here) I wish that he would have included some other criteria than just political or religious persecution to qualify the literally millions of so-oppressed people worldwide for US entry. My own druthers would be the addition of some aspect of merit, say, academic, artistic, trade skill, STEM qualified, … . But setting up a more comprehensive set of criteria becomes highly political as each side tries to size up who will wind up with more voters.
[26aug20 update] The first-rate, marquee-quality Democrat Big Lies are now coming in way too fast to count. Today’s highlighter was delivered by Kamala Harris who pointed out that the insignificant Ebola and H1N1 deaths during the Obama/Biden administration demonstrated what proper pandemic leadership could deliver. The sleazebag slut didn’t blink an eye in omitting to tell her debilitated devotees that Ebola’s transmission was restricted to exchange of bodily fluids, and that the H1N1 mortality rate was extremely low. Added to that, the medical experts in charge of managing both diseases today freely admit that it was NOTHING that they did that choked the outbreaks, but only a couple of extremely lucky turns of events. Yet that broad continues to spread the Big Lie that it was the Obama/Biden administration’s astute policies that scotched the spread of the diseases, and contrasts it with Trump’s equivalent task that he has mishandled. Covid-19 is a couple leagues above the easy money maladies of Ebola and H1N1, but that no lamestream consumer will ever know. (BTW, H1N1 is still among us with its insignificant death rate.)
As a Lucky Strike Extra, the Dems have not been able to describe what else they would have done or promise to do in controlling C19, other than plagiarizing what Trump has already done and is doing. Compared to the present administration, their prescriptions contribute a nothing burger. Notice the leftwing crickets’ replies to these.
Another Big Lie we pick up today is the Dems’ screams that the First Lady and SecState Pompeo violated the Hatch Act with their respective speeches yesterday. To begin, the Hatch Act gives wide latitude and exemptions to the Executive Branch, and the WH South Lawn and Rose Garden are specifically omitted from the parts of the executive mansion in which it is inappropriate to conduct partisan events. And, of course, Team Biden provided no evidence to counter Pompeo carefully circumventing using State Department offices for his privately arranged and funded canned speech from Israel. But all that don’t make no never mind to the Dems. All they hope to do from now until November is to continue diverting attention from their ‘Party Without A Platform’.
Biden finally had to say he “won’t stand for violence in the streets” during his leftwing constituents' peaceful demonstrations across the land (actually, he referred only to Kenosha, but I’ll give him the rest of the country’s rioting cities which he has yet to acknowledge). So my question to him is, ‘OK Bumblebrain, what would it look like to the rest of us when you won’t stand for the violence?’
