Joe Biden isn't Bill Clinton. Not really the Sister Soulja moment some have urged.

More like praising with faint damns, as Wilde put it.

Statement by Vice President Joe Biden on the deadly violence in Portland

He blames Trump for inciting hatred and fear, not MSNBC, CNN, BBC, the NYT, and the Democratic propagandists and commentariat, generally.

He condemns violence "of left and right".

He focuses on killings.

And the rioting in general, the destruction of property, the economic and social damage, and the people hurt but not killed?

More than three months of riots by antifa, anarchists, BLM, racist radicals, and others of the idiot left in numerous cities across the country.

And it's been a long time since Charlottesville.

Biden Emerges From Basement, Sees Violence, and Makes This Unbelievable Statement

Snark? Scorn? This, too, is propaganda.

All the same.

It appears a Trump supporter was murdered by a leftist in Portland last night, but details are still emerging. 

Regardless of what happened, the shooting has finally prompted Joe Biden to denounce the violence in Portland that's been occurring on a nightly basis for three months now. 

"The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable. Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by any one, whether on the left or the right," Biden said in a statement. 

. . . .

Oh yes, I remember now. It was President Trump who encouraged chaos in the streets when he accused cops of being murderous racists, or when he said America was founded on white supremacy, or when he endorsed the vandalism of historic statues, or when he referred to looters and thugs as "peaceful" protesters as a violent mob raged out of control for months. 

That was all "fanning the flames of hate and division" all, right? But President Trump wasn't the one doing it. 

That was Joe Biden, the media, and the far-left radicals who will be running the government if Trojan horse Biden fools the American people into electing him president. 

Gaslighting: Blaming Left-Wing Violence and Rioting on Trump Is Brazenly Ludicrous

Once the violence spilled over into a small city in a swing state and public opinion started to shift, the Biden campaign finally rolled Biden out to condemn non-peaceful actions, which he's occasionally done with perfunctory statements. 

But his party ignored the issue in their four-night infomercial, elected officials have been bullied by the hard Left into deleting social media posts disavowing violence, and top Biden surrogates have contorted themselves to avoid saying anything too harshly negative about the rioters.

. . . .

As I wrote on Twitter, "there has been violence from the radical right in some cases, which is egregious, appalling and indefensible. Still, bothsidesing the violence & unrest is a form of gaslighting. The mayhem/rioting/looting/assaults has been profoundly asymmetric, and driven by the hard left." 

That's a fact.

Not a lot of social distancing at riots, either. Super-spreaders?

How far will this hurt Joe B in crucial swing states?

Will it even cost him Wisconsin?

538 says the polls there still look good for Joe B.

They think he has a 69% shot at an EC victory, with Trump trailing at 31%.

Maybe the "ride it out" strategy will work.

But nobody knows how to factor in the expected big increase in mail in and absentee voting 

A propos de reparations

Has anyone mentioned that blackmailers always come back for more?

The fearless troll in the White House, maybe?

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?

Larry Kudlow: Covid-19 is pretty much behind us, thanks to Trump.

'It was awful': Top Trump adviser Larry Kudlow referred to the pandemic in the past tense on a day the US recorded 1,147 COVID-19 deaths

One of President Donald Trump's top advisers referred to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the past tense Tuesday during the second night of the Republican National Convention, appearing to suggest that the worst was behind the US on a day it recorded more than 1,100 deaths from COVID-19.

Larry Kudlow, the director of the White House National Economic Council, touted the strong economy during the first three years of the Trump presidency before describing the recession caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

"Then came a once-in-100-year pandemic," he said. 

"It was awful. Health and economic impacts were tragic. Hardship and heartbreak were everywhere. But presidential leadership came swiftly and effectively with an extraordinary rescue for health and safety to successfully fight the COVID virus."

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.

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.

CNN blasts out using the virus for race propaganda, again

The explanation for racial and ethnic disparities in infection rates, severity of infection, and death from infection is the accompanying disparities in relative wealth or relative poverty.

And it is by no means as if only nonwhites in America are poor.

There are far more poor whites than nonwhites in this country, and this means they are in the same ways disproportionately victims of the virus, too.

This is certainly an argument for public action to ensure every American has good quality health insurance and everyone in America has good quality medical care.

Not a peep about that on any "news" network.

Not on Fox since it would put their idiot viewers on notice.

Not on CNN, MSNBC, or BBC because howling about race works so much better for today's Democrats and the Democratic racist/racial left.

This is much worse than spinning.

CNN has turned what could and should have been a news-rich story revealing the stunning difference relative wealth or poverty makes regarding virus risk of infection, severity, and death in the US and indeed the world as a whole into a blistering attack of racist/racial vitriol.

An attack on America and an attack on white America.

To them, there is only one explanation and you know what it is, "systemic racism", "a history of racism", "the legacy of slavery, segregation, and racism".

These variables affect whether you live, die or get help during the pandemic

Still, the disparities are indeed stunning.

Black, Latino and Native American people are nearly three times as likely to  ebe infected with Covid-19 than their White counterparts. Those three groups are about five times as likely to be hospitalized. And people of color across the board are more likely to die of the virus.

. . . .

Race affects who is able to flee from a viral hotspot to a second home and who shares a roof with family members across generations. It affects who is able to work remotely and who has to leave home to keep society afloat. It affects who has easy access to testing and who puts off treatment because they're worried about the costs.

In other words, as the US approaches six million confirmed coronavirus cases, race plays a major role in who lives, who dies and who gets help.

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

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.

Hate speech, hate propaganda, and projection of their own racist bigotries

Kaepernick's New Producer: Let's Face It, Every Single Trump Voter is a Straight-Up Racist

She is absolutely not the only person on the racial left to say or think this.

It's a reflection of their own racism, and of the increasing influence and respectability of black racism on the left and in the Democratic Party.

Within recent years, the best evidence for the Republican claim that reverse racism is stronger and more dangerous in American politics than white racism has been the fury of the racist propaganda in the months just before scheduled congressional or presidential elections.

Why are Indian geographic names OK but sports team names not?

Rivers and mountains and islands have Indian names.

Political units and geographic features are named after tribes or individuals.

The name of Pontiac, for example, is used as a place name and an auto brand.

Not one white person has ever been offended by the Sarah Lee or Betty Crocker brands or images.

The Irish don't riot once a year or take a knee to protest the nickname of Notre Dame's football team.

Trump versus Biden on the "Cultural Revolutionaries"

MSNBC this morning says the Duce's weekend, 4th of July speeches were American Carnage all over again.

They were racist and divisive instead of healing and celebratory and uniting.

They were wrong and harmful and wicked altogether.

The network showed videos of excerpts.

Trump actually made two speeches on the same themes, one at the White House and one at Mt. Rushmore.

Two points.

First, in both speeches Trump made no reference to the Confederacy, instead defending public honors for the Founders, defending the revolution of 1776, celebrating our nation's founding and our history, and by name celebrating Christopher Columbus at the White House, tracing back to him the story of the building of America.

Tammy Duckworth's public charge that Trump's spent his entire Rushmore speech defending "dead traitors", an apparent allusion to the debate about public honors for the Confederacy and Confederate leaders, was a ridiculous lie.

Those things could all have appeared in a speech by Joe Biden, as they reflect what we know of his rarely mentioned and all but concealed official position.

But none of that was in any weekend message or speech of Biden's, so far as I can tell from media reporting.

[Biden's near silence on these matters invites conservative "interpretation".]

Second, the Duce characterized the vandals tearing down and destroying monuments as radical leftists with a divisive and destructive program who want to "overthrow the American Revolution" and tear down America and replace it with a repressive regime featuring massive levels of indoctrination of the whole population, particularly of the young in schools.

The actions and words of the cultural revolutionaries increasingly, daily, bear that out.

Recall the statue of Columbus was wrecked by a white anarchist.

Recall Kaepernick's tweet deliberately echoing and going beyond the bitter but entirely justified remarks of Frederick Douglass about what Independence Day means to the slave before the Civil War, repudiating the revolution, the Founders, the republic, and the history of the nation from that day to this.

Neither he nor anyone of the racial left ever mentions Douglass's utter reversal when at last Lincoln and his allies ended slavery at so massive a cost in lives and treasure.

Considerably more than three minutes hate

was visited on Kevin McCarthy for a rather anodyne campaign tweet.

The abuse, heavily obscene, focused on racial fury, the Russia connection, and Putin in particular.

'Dear Kevin,' 'Dear Republicans' Trend, As GOPLeader Impugns Democrats' Patriotism

To the immense joy of Kevin Scarce.

Do American blacks hate whites and white America the way Arabs hate Jews and Israel?

No doubt.

More than seventy years of liberal shouting about white racism and black rage and about how they, too, would riot and destroy and hate white people have had a marked impact, encouraging black rage and black belief in white racism.

As was intended, all that time.

White people are aware.

And the hate propaganda becomes earsplitting during election years, especially presidential years.

Why do you suppose so many whites think black hatred of them, "reverse racism", is the biggest problem in American today, bigger than white hatred of blacks?

All those decades of left wing hate propaganda had an impact on whites, too.

And yet they (we) put Obama in the White House, twice, though we knew he had very sore toes about race.

Twice.

And to this day those whites think he may have been the finest president in a long time.

The most presidential in a very, very long time.

Cancel culture, BLM ideology, and Krugman's Red Guards

Don't recall seeing much, if any, of this on CNN or MSNBC.

Or BBC News, for that matter.

All of them too busy as cheerleaders and megaphones for the mob and the key mob propaganda points of BLM.

Not being a Fox viewer or regular reader I didn't know Krugman has lost his mind, for example.

(But I have noticed the long articles on their site are often exceptionally information rich.)

Paul Krugman, professors seek top economist's removal from influential job for criticizing Black Lives Matter

Quite a lot of information in this story.

Gregg Re doesn't like what Herr Krugman and these Cultural Revolutionaries are doing.

Neither does Andrew Sullivan, a well-known political moderate.

(Whose job may be in jeopardy.)

Nor does Michael Walzer, a much honored leftist intellectual.

An interesting story about a white radical destroyer of statues, described as "antifa".

One about the leader of the Times' extraordinary weaponization of history, The 1619 Project. 

Think Howard Zinn, but with a lot more vitriol.

NRO on the project. As history, it's worthless propaganda.

I have the impression the position of the right on racism in law enforcement under Trump is much as it has been for decades, that there is little or no racial bias in law enforcement and no institutional racism in America.

That view seems not to be shared even by most whites, these days.

Very likely, when Americans say they agree with the ideas of BLM this is what they mean.

Very likely, they otherwise have no idea what those ideas are.

CNN and MSNBC using indigenista- and other racial - ire to bash Trump's Rushmore super-spreader

Tiresome, and as we get ever closer to the election you can be sure CNN and MSNBC with grow ever more shrill and ever more focused on themes of the racial left.

Presidential elections bring out the worst in both parties: the most extremist views of their activist outliers.

For Democrats, that includes lefties of all sorts who actually despise the party and most of its voters, and especially its white voters, for their politics and many also for their white race.

Yes, the Democrats are a majority white party, and absolutely need white money and white votes to have a chance.

The closer we get to a presidential election the less you would know that, from the propaganda.

Who has not noticed the increasingly vocal urging of the moral necessity of reparations and the utter racist immorality of opposing them or refusing them, on both networks?

In the present case, Rushmore is now denounced by CNN and MSNBC opinionators according to two lines dear the left who swear by Zinn and for whom A People's History of the United States is just true history rather than an essay in anti-American hatred virtually inventing the weaponization of history.

First, as racist in that the sculptor is alleged to have had some sympathy with the Klan, though never a member in an era when membership was without social or political cost.

And second, as a sin against sacred Indian lands (but the tribes agreed with the project at the time) and a evil validation of the also racist European settling and rise to dominance in the Americas.

Somebody is out to get the president

The White House spokesperson reportedly said that with reference to the leak about the Russian bounties.

No kidding, eh?

Afghanistan

The bullshit just goes on and on.

The rise of Muslim fundamentalism got the greatest boost in its history when that knee-jerk anti-communist boob, Republican and conservative hero Ronald Reagan, gave the Taliban to the world in order to mess things up for the Russians in Afghanistan.

Russians in Afghanistan would be bad?

Oh, please.

Nowhere near as bad for us, for Afghanistan, or for the entire Muslim world as us handing that country to the Taliban.

That gave us, well, the Taliban, a much-strengthened Al-Qaeda, the attacks of 9/11, an endless war in Afghanistan, a huge rise in terrorism and jihad all over the region, ISIS, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and the ongoing wastage of trillions of dollars.

Yes, Reagan gave us that, with Bush fils not far behind him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Meanwhile, Democrats to a man (or woman) are shocked, shocked, that Russians would subsidize military operations against US forces by enemies whom we once subsidized to carry out military operations . . . against the Russians!

A lot of Russia owns Trump claptrap, for day and days.

News as oppo research as full-on propaganda

Always bearing in mind propaganda isn't necessarily false.
