Tucker Carlson attacked for un-PC Crimespeak

Why the Left Is Trying to Get Tucker Carlson Off the Air...Again

“Kenosha has devolved into anarchy because the authorities in charge of the city abandoned it. 

People in charge in Wisconsin from the governor on down refused to enforce the law,” Carlson said during Wednesday's program. 

“They stood back and watched Kenosha burn.”

The Left's objection, however, came when the host asked, “How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would?”

Carlson was referring to Kyle Rittenhouse, the young man arrested and charged with murder for allegedly shooting two Antifa rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after being attacked (my colleagues at RedState evaluate whether the incident was self-defense). 

According to police, he traveled approximately 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Ill., to join others in 'protecting' Kenosha.

“So what does that amount to? We’re unsure,” Carlson said. 

“A court will decide if what you just saw qualifies as self-defense.”

A Fair and Balanced story at Fox News

So, the Democrats are running these riots to destroy the American middle class?

Tucker Carlson: Kenosha riots prove urban unrest is 'class war masquerading as a race conflict'

Carlson pointed out that Kenosha is home to a large Hispanic immigrant population whose members were not seen rioting because working people are meant to work, he said, not start riots.

“As if we needed more evidence that this is actually a class war masquerading as a race conflict,” he said. 

“That's exactly what it is designed to [do]: crush America's middle class. And it's working.”

Kenosha storeowners woke up Tuesday morning to their livelihoods destroyed, with one owner saying how “wrong” it is since her business services everyone, regardless of race.

“You can hear the confusion in her voice [asking] 'Why did they do this to me?'” Carlson said. 

“And the short answer is because they could. Nobody stopped them from burning down her business or burning down the city. 

"The Kenosha County Democratic Party didn't stop them. The Democratic Party of Kenosha decided to embrace the mob.”

Is there rioting in any city controlled by local Republicans?

Are there any cities controlled by local Republicans?

Andrea Mitchell is being slapped around by Peter Navarro on plasma and a rushed vaccine

He's brushing off all worries about proper testing as mere Democrat talking points, bragging they will have a vaccine in a third the time it has taken in the past.

Hurray for Trump!

He has no clue how terrifying he and his idiot boss are.

I may just hunker down until March.

Twelve more years?

Trump speaking after renomination was greeted with chants of "Four more years!"

He replied, "Four more years! Four more years! But you really want to get them? Say 'Twelve more years!'"

And when they laugh it off remember this.

Trump says 'I don't kid' after aides argue he was joking about slowing coronavirus testing

Kushner on FZ

Saudi Arabia and Bahrain next to normalize with Israel?

Maybe.

How to make the endlessly uncooperative Palestinians irrelevant.

Kushner not bad in front of the camera.

Totally loyal to Trump, of course.

Bit of a stone face, but smart.

Had more than one good point about a massive switch to mail in voting.

He cited friends in New Jersey, reporting a ballot came in the mail for a dead relative and another friend got two ballots in the mail.

That's not anecdotal evidence of fraud or vulnerability to it but anecdotal evidence of the messy state of voter rolls.

I myself got 2 ballots for the primaries, though I only voted once.

Do I know it was properly counted?

If I had voted both ballots would they both have been counted?

FZ irrelevantly objected K was citing mere anecdotes in support of the idea of widespread fraud in mail in voting rather than analysis of aggregate data.

We are not talking about some quack cure for a virus.

He should have objected K was providing evidence of impending mess.

K knew this, anyway, and pointed out a national transition to reliance on mail ins could be properly carried out only by a planned and organized program over at least 5 years.

Even off the top of the head that's persuasive.

It means we're in for mess.

Fareed lauds Biden for big tent approach

He reminds us the New Deal and the Great Society were made possible by the biggest of tents in the history of the party.

Velshi sums up Trump

Quick, devastating, cutting, accurate, and without exaggeration, except for the charge of racism that he has overdone only less than the worst at MSNBC.

The Chaos King spreads alarm among the hoople-heads

Not without help from his opponents, of course.

If this were needed, wouldn't local authorities have realized it long ago?

All my decades of voting, I never even noticed if any police were around.

I would not have been surprised, though, or offended.

Police are often around at public events to maintain order, generally by their very, and very limited, presence.

Maybe now to enforce distancing and mask rules?

Trump says he wants police at polling sites. Experts say that's unlawful.

And yet, despite the headline, the story contains this sentence.

The law enforcement officers dispatched on Election Day to help maintain order typically aren't checking IDs.

Do you think Murdoch's media are right wing?

You're right, but you ain't seen nuthin', yet.

The Epoch Times.

Then there's the Duce's current fave, the One America News Network.

Clyburn and other major Democratic leaders blame the Duce for ALL American virus deaths.

Clyburn just now vigorously and angrily doubled down when Cavuto gave him a chance to back away.

Have the Dem specialists in race politics yet ascribed Trump's utterly botched virus response on his personal, or systemic, or institutional racism?

If not, it won't be long.

Piling it on for the election

To its regularly scheduled shows encouraging blacks to see racism in the clouds, on slices of toast, and in tree rings CNN will add regularly scheduled programming to encourage women to see sexism in all the same places.

In both cases, of course, it will go with much saying that the solution - the only solution - is to vote to put Democrats in power.

Update 8/22/20.

BBC News is running a beautifully photographed, brilliantly produced series on African history emphasizing the achievements of sub-Saharan civilization and the beastly horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and European imperialism/colonialism.

BBC's 1619 project.

Deeply biased history as justification for racism against whites and a deeply racist political agenda.

Trump pleased QAnon says he's secretly saving the world from pedophile cannibals. QAnon a terrorist threat per FBI. Bannon arrested for fraud by FBI.

MSNBC said all this just now.

Oh, and that KH made black women, "the backbone of the Democratic Party", cry with her wooden acceptance speech.

They just said.

When elites want something the newsies tell you it's the only decent and just thing in about a hundred different ways.

Reparations.

CNN, BBC, MSNBC, and almost all Democratic media.

Wait for some anti-Trump Republicans to get on board.

Joe B is on board.

The only way it doesn't happen in the next president's first term is the Great Fat Orange Klansman wins another term.

When elites don't want something the newsies tell you it's impossible.

Peter Jennings told Americans very firmly, decades ago, that the browning of America is utterly inevitable and there's nothing they can do to prevent it.

CNN has been saying all day and for days the Electoral College can't and will never be abolished.

Triple digit highs for weeks in the West. Unprecedented heat wave, failed monsoon, and drought.

Not a word about global warming.

Watching Cavuto.

Why do female newsies on Fox so often look like porn stars in glasses?

Watching Neil Cavuto.

The murder hornet is established, now, in Washington State

They are trying to kill them off in that state because of both their threat to people and their utterly devastating impact on native honey bees.

BBC.

CNN is running ads for an evening show explaining the Electoral College

CNN at 10 pm tomorrow "Count on Controversy: inside the Electoral College".

They also have this other video.

The host said during an ad piece that an amendment providing for direct popular election of the president was supported by Nixon and got through the house and would have got through the senate but for a small-state filibuster.

On September 18, 1969, the U.S. House of Representatives voted by an overwhelming 338 to 70 to send a constitutional amendment to the Senate that would have dismantled the Electoral College, the indirect system by which Americans elect the president and vice president.

“It was the only time in American history that a chamber of Congress actually approved an amendment to abolish the Electoral College,” says Jesse Wegman, a member of the New York Times editorial board and author of Let the People Pick the President: The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College.

The House vote, which came in the wake of an extraordinarily close presidential election, mirrored national sentiment about scrapping an electoral system that allowed a candidate to win the presidency even while losing the popular vote. 

A 1968 Gallup poll found that 80 percent of Americans believed it was time to elect the nation’s highest office by direct popular vote.

Yet just a year later, the Senate bill that would have ended the Electoral College was dead in the water, filibustered by a cadre of Southern lawmakers intent on preserving the majority’s grip on electoral power in their states. 

Despite widespread bipartisan support for the amendment in both large and small states, the Senate came five votes shy of breaking the filibuster.

He said he thinks that means no such amendment will ever be sent to the states by the congress.

But if the Dems win both houses this fall and dump the filibuster?

CNN, MSNBC, and BBC are all in that America - white America - owes reparations to American blacks for slavery, at least

The burning question of the hour is how to pay and how much.

That is the line apparently adopted by many pro-Democratic media all over America.

CNN has a prime time show commercials for which show the host interviewing a few black people on that question.

All three demand a lot.

One insists to an apparently approving interviewer (the show's host W. Kamau Bell) that fully paying up would "break America".

These are, of course, the same people who yearn for the demographic sorpasso of nonwhites over whites in America to come as soon as possible, welcome policies that allow or speed that eventuality, and furiously denounce policies that would retard or prevent it as racism worthy of the ragingest of black rage.

But would that make it Trump v. Harris?

If Joe, for whatever reason, dropped out.

Bernie and his supporters would sure as heck question that, I think, if Joe was out before the convention anointed anyone.

Anybody might question that, given the GOP might well run better against a woman of color not so well known they can't paint her as a crazy radical, which they are already doing without too much trouble.

Interesting question which way AOC and the Squad would jump.

Of course, Bernie actually is a crazy radical, but he's an old and well known white guy as well as a crazy radical, and that's probably a better combination for white voters Trump needs in battleground states than a relatively little known woman of color.

Though if Bernie bumped her off the ticket that might cost him nearly all the black support he would absolutely have to have to win.

Fox News host baselessly claims that 'something's going to happen' to Joe Biden

She just went a little over the line, maybe, in course of playing her part in Fox's propaganda onslaught that Old Dodderin' and Sleepy Joe is just a Trojan horse for flaming, insane radical black woman nutjob Kamala Harris.

All of Fox's talking heads are fairly shouting it's really Trump vs Harris and Joe is at best a signature monkey for the craziest, darkest (heh, heh) elements of the "Democrat Party".

More of that by now infamous Republican projection, I'd say.

Claiming Joe will not even make it to election night is just making the prospect all the more terrifying, eh?

The Fox News opinion host Jeanine Pirro baselessly suggested on Wednesday evening that "something's going to happen" to the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, and that it would cause the former vice president to be removed from the ballot during the presidential election in November.

"For some reason, I just have this feeling that Joe Biden isn't going to be on the ticket," Pirro said during a Fox News segment.

"I have a sense that something's going to happen before the election and he's not even going to be on the ticket, so don't even ask me if he's going to make the four years," she added.

So far as I can tell, she actually is further to the left than Joe B, and she was that at the beginning of the campaign, at the end of the campaign, and in response to the Floyd killing, protests, and riots.

And as she so painfully and forcefully pointed out during the debates, she was and all but incontestably still is to his left of racial matters.

I am truly not sure where that puts her relative to registered Democrats or Democrat-leaning independents.

But she is definitely to the left of this guy, my very own Democratic Congressman, and apparently also to the left of my Democratic Senator.
