The left's narrative is a lie! A dangerous lie!-----Reporter Looks at Group Protesting Police and Then Those There to Support Law Enforcement, Has 'Surreal' Moment of Realization

Reporter Looks at Group Protesting Police and Then Those There to Support Law Enforcement, Has 'Surreal' Moment of Realization
"The establishment media has been all-in on the narrative that African-Americans are clamoring for politicians to boot police from their neighborhoods.
These leftists have championed cities that defund their police departments even as crime rates skyrocket in those areas — but, we are told, black people feel safest when the cops are gone.
...Lee Fang, an investigative journalist with The Intercept, was covering the pro-law enforcement “Stand Up for a Safe Oakland” rally at the city’s Lake Merritt Amphitheater on July 10.
He noted that hundreds of mostly black supporters not only showed up en masse to back the blue but some of them also schooled what he called a handful of “white antifa protesters” who were insisting that police were the problem...Read all.

From a friend: "The Biden administration has the Coast Guard picking up refugees from Cuba and returning them to Cuba."

Fans of Best of the Web Today | Facebook
"I am in such a foul mood this morning.
The Biden administration has the Coast Guard picking up refugees from Cuba and returning them to Cuba.  
We allow our southern border to be wide open but return people to an actual dictatorship where they face imprisonment, torture and death. 
The difference being that those coming over our southern border will eventually vote Democrat and Cubans are known to vote Republican. 
It’s one thing to know that our political class does these things to benefit themselves to the detriment of the country. 
It’s quite another to realize that many of our fellow citizens will willingly go along with it for the same reason. 
I always told myself that they were being manipulated, having their heartstrings pulled, I’m not so sure now."

And a response from another: "During the border rush under Trump, the left's talking point was "asylum," which was a lie, of course, since the bulk of that group was economically motivated. 
Now, people genuinely seeking asylum - because what do you think happens to those who are forced to return? - and the left is silent. 
It's Olympian-level hypocrisy but even worse, it's a demonstration of character. 
Dems do not give a damn about people; they only care about the political of the day's mascot."

Accused murderer set free after St. Louis County prosecutors fail to show up, but found time for McCloskeys
"A judge has set a murder suspect free after St. Louis County prosecutors
failed to show up to court on three separate occasions,
though the same department found the time to go after an area couple who defended their property with firearms after a Black Lives Matter mob broke into their gated community last summer.
Last week, Circuit Judge Jason Sengheiser dismissed charges of first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful gun possession against Brandon Campbell, 30, when prosecutors from the Circuit Attorney’s Office did not attend hearings for the case in May, June, and July, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
“The court does not take this action without significant consideration for the implications it may have for public safety,” Sengheiser wrote in kicking the case...Read all.

A lesson for ALL of us!-----Black Rifle Coffee CEO Was a Moron for Trusting the New York Times

Black Rifle Coffee CEO Was a Moron for Trusting the New York Times
  • Black Rifle Can’t Step Out of This Mess So Easily
"...Whilst bouncing around the intertubez the past couple of days I kept seeing Black Rifle Coffee pop up a lot. 
I finally decided to catch up on the story.
...I don’t know much about Black Rifle Coffee other than it’s veteran-owned and I see a lot of conservatives pimping it. 
...Black Rifle Coffee is a premium, small-batch, roast-to-order, veteran-owned coffee company based out of Utah. 
It has seen tremendous success over the past couple of years and has been dubbed the conservative alternative to Starbucks. 
But social media has been abuzz over the past few days regarding an interview Black Rifle CEO Evan Hafer gave to the New York Times Magazine
  • In response to the interview, The Post Millennial wrote that Black Rifle “goes woke, throws customers under the bus in bizarre NYT interview.” 
  • In addition, Newsmax said the company had called out some of its customers as “a repugnant group of people.”
...If I do that, I have no choice but to believe that Hafer is a straight-up paste-eating moron.
How long do the mainstream media hacks have to keep exposing themselves as frothing-at-the-mouth haters of conservatives before conservatives get it?...Read all.

Especially by the government."

It Sure Looks Like the FBI Basically Orchestrated the Gretchen Whitmer 'Kidnapping' Plot

It Sure Looks Like the FBI Basically Orchestrated the Gretchen Whitmer 'Kidnapping' Plot
"In news that’s flying below the radar a bit, more evidence of just how corrupt and compromised the FBI has become emerged today.
You may recall the much-ballyhooed plot to supposedly kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last year. 
Arrests were made in October of 2020, with the claim being that the FBI had stopped the kidnapping plot as well as a plan to overthrow the government. 
After it came out in the weeks following the bust that one of the participants was anti-Trump and a Black Lives Matter supporter, the story quickly died down.
...But now, a big curveball is being thrown into the mix regarding what actually happened. 
Apparently, the FBI didn’t just have informants within the group where the arrests were made. 
Rather, FBI operatives played a key role in the planning of the entire ordeal and were also seemingly instrumental in birthing the plot...Read all!!

And the media promotes this fake-courage.


 

Master of Misinformation: Joe Biden's 10 Worst Lies

Master of Misinformation: Joe Biden's 10 Worst Lies

President Joe Biden is pushing social media companies to suppress what he calls “misinformation” about coronavirus vaccines, blaming it for stalling the administration’s rollout and claiming that bad information is “killing people.”

Yet Biden has been assisted by deliberate misinformation by social media companies, who suppressed the (true) story of Hunter Biden’s laptop, and he has also produced misinformation, for political advantage, that has damaged the country.

1. Misinformation about neo-Nazis. Biden launched his presidential campaign in April 2019 by claiming that President Donald Trump had referred to neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, as “very fine people.” In fact, Trump had said they should be “condemned totally.” Biden did not invent the lie, but by repeating it, he convinced many Americans that their president was a Nazi sympathizer, and stoked racial tensions that fed nationwide unrest.

2. Misinformation about the coronavirus vaccine. In August 2020, then-candidate Biden told Americans they could not trust a vaccine that was being produced by Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. “It’s not likely to go through all the tests and the trials that are needed to be done,” Biden said, slandering the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He also said Trump was “moving it quicker than the scientists think it should be moved,” falsely claiming the authority of science.

3. Misinformation about officer-involved shootings. When police shot Jacob Blake Jr. in Kenosha last August, Biden called Blake “a victim of excessive force” and said that “the officers must be held accountable.” In fact, Blake was armed with a knife; had fought with officers; and was wanted on an outstanding warrant for sexual assault. A subsequent investigation exonerated the officers. Biden’s lie fueled outrage that had already exploded into riots on Kenosha’s streets...Read all!

“Just once I want to see some left-wing socialist — I want to see Bernie Sanders, I want to see Elizabeth Warren, I want to see AOC go down to Key West, get on a raft, and sail 90 miles south to the socialist paradise,” told the young conservatives in the audience.

What Is the Great Resignation of 2021?
  • Central planners were warned that these kinds of problems would result from their policies, and yet they persisted anyway.
"If you don’t spend your days on TikTok or Reddit, you may be blissfully unaware of a growing movement urging people to quit their jobs en masse this fall.
It’s called “The Great Resignation of 2021,” and for businesses already struggling to attract workers back to the office it could spell very bad news.
The social media trend coincides with broader disruptions in the labor market.

This is on top of the 4 million people who already followed through and resigned in April.

Rand Paul and Fauci on NIH Funding in Wuhan: 'It Is a Crime to Lie to Congress'

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci during a hearing on the Chinese coronavirus Tuesday over his prior claim that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has never funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Paul’s presentation triggered President Biden’s chief medical adviser, who refused to retract his May 11 statement and instead snapped at the Kentucky senator, brazenly telling Paul, “you do not know what you are talking about.”

"...Just when you thought there couldn’t be anyone slimier than George Soros, it turns out that someone equally evil is about to take over right where George left off. Someone has to handle all the high finance at the top to make sure it properly trickles down to the grass roots.

...The big thing George Soros is known for are the “Open Societies Foundations” he founded. Those will be in good hands under Baron George Mark Malloch Brown.

"...The shortage is being felt acutely in the automotive industry and will for as long as two years, analysts say.
