Mattis Tells Military to ‘Be Ready’ Regarding North Korea

Secretary of Defense James Mattis on Monday urged the U.S. military to "be ready" regarding the nuclear threat posed by North Korea so President Donald Trump can employ military options if necessary.

"What can the U.S. military do to lessen the likelihood of conflict on the Korean peninsula?" a questioner asked at the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual meeting.

Mattis said the government is currently using a "diplomatically led, economic sanction-buttressed effort" to try to deter North Korea from its nuclear ambitions but said the future is unpredictable.

"Now what does the future hold? Neither you nor I can say, so there’s one thing the U.S. Army can do, and that is you have got to be ready to ensure that we have military options that our president can employ if needed," Mattis said.

Mattis again said the effort to stop North Korea is diplomatically led, touting the United Nations Security Council’s recent unanimous votes to impose further sanctions against the rogue country for its belligerent behavior.

"The international community has spoken, but that means the U.S. Army must stand ready," Mattis said. "So if you’re ready, that’s your duty at this point in time."

Trump tweeted again about ongoing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea on Monday, saying that giving the country billions of dollars over the past 25 years did not work. Trump has warned North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that his country will face destruction if it ever acts on any of its nuclear threats against the U.S. or its allies.

Hypocrisy Alert: Today’s Trump Bashing Media Thought It Was Awful to Bash Obama in 2009

Over the past several months, journalists have had no qualms about attacking President Trump on a deeply personal level, calling him an “embarrassing” “unhinged” “liar,” a “sociopath” and a “madman” presiding over a “malignant presidency.”

But eight years ago, many of these same reporters were offended at criticism of Barack Obama and his policies, scorning the “mean,” “ugly,” “offensive” “vitriol” and “idiot talk” hurled at the last President during the same months of his term.

While the media have given plenty of oxygen to anti-Trump protests since his first day in office, the Tea Party protests against Obama in 2009 were disparaged as “orchestrated,” “AstroTurf,” and criticism of ObamaCare was portrayed as a consequence of racist unwillingness to accept a black President.

Today’s journalists see it as a badge of professionalism to harass Trump and his spokesmen, but eight years ago some reporters derided talk radio, Fox News and others in the media who failed to get on board the Obama train as peddling “hateful crap” that “borders on sedition.”

Some in the media even suggested that criticism of Obama was threatening “the President’s personal safety,” with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman raising the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by an extremist: “The parallels to Israel then and America today turn my stomach.”

Eight years later, does anyone in the liberal media worry that their constant negative coverage might be putting President Trump in danger?

Here is a video compilation followed by several transcripts from MRC’s NewsBusters’ archive showing the big difference in how the media, who now disparage President Trump, hated criticism of President Obama eight years ago:

 

 

Calling Obama a “Socialist” = “Right-Wing Idiot Talk,” “Old-School Insult”

“Where Obama exudes the new Washington equanimity, [former House Speaker Newt] Gingrich exalts in the old-school insult. He is ruthless in caricaturing anyone who gets in his way as a ‘pagan’ or ‘statist’ or ‘socialist’ or ‘racist’ — all words Newt has hurled in recent days….It is hard to shake the feeling that Gingrich’s new prominence is more a sign of the GOP’s desperation than faith in its future….”
Newsweek’s Howard Fineman writing in the magazine’s June 22, 2009 edition.

“There’s become this new ‘idiot button’ on the right, where you have to punch this button in order to be considered a real conservative now: ‘Obama is a socialist on health care. He’s a socialist. All his fiscal programs are insanely socialistic.’ You have to punch that button….If you don’t talk in that, that right-wing, idiot talk you’re not considered a conservative any more.”
— MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Hardball, June 16, 2009.

Obama Critics “Push the Boundaries of Decency”

Co-anchor David Shuster: “Remember the old adage about being able to disagree without being disagreeable?”
Co-anchor Tamron Hall: “Yeah, I remember it, but I don’t think a lot of people who listen to, maybe, certain radio stations believe that. Well, six months after President Obama took office, a lot of sociologists and analysts believe that harsh political discourse against him really amped up and people started to push the boundaries of what might be considered decency.”
— Exchange during MSNBC live coverage, July 17, 2009. The on-screen headline read, “Too Much Political Hate?”

 

Anti-Obama Protests = “Orchestrated” “AstroTurf”

Anchor Charles Gibson: “Members of the House of Representatives are already back in their districts on summer recess, most holding town hall meetings to find out what’s on the voters’ minds, and what they’re hearing is criticism over health care reform. And some of that criticism appears to be orchestrated….”
Correspondent Jake Tapper: “Clearly, some of it is organized. Bob MacGuffie, a grass roots conservative activist wrote a widely circulated memo advising others at town hall meetings to put the Congressman quote, ‘on the defensive with your questions and follow up.’”
— ABC’s World News, August 4, 2009.

“Everywhere a congressperson holds a meeting, apparently, these people show up. Well-dressed, middle-class people in pinks and limes if you will. Who are they? They’ve been called the ‘Brooks Brothers Brigade.’ Who are these people?…Do you think the health insurance companies that have made money for years on health care are the bad guys here? Do you think they’re behind these so-called AstroTurf demonstrations?”
— MSNBC’s Chris Matthews talking about the negative public reaction that some Democratic members of Congress have faced at local town hall meetings, August 4, 2009 Hardball.

“The truth is out about the societal sabotage dressed up as phony protests against health care reform….When Hamas does it or Hezbollah does it, it is called terrorism. Why should Republican lawmakers and the AstroTurf groups organizing on behalf of the health care industry be viewed any differently?”
— MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann talking about anti-ObamaCare protests on Countdown, August 7, 2009.

 

It Can’t Be Obama’s Policies, So It Must Be Racism

“Is right-wing racism on the rise?…You know, obviously we have got morons like Limbaugh calling Obama an angry black man….I think they are hurting their party and I think we are in a nation tired of hate….I’m going to throw a Jewish slur and call Mr. Limbaugh a putz.”
— Fill-in anchor Donny Deutsch on MSNBC News Live, July 30, 2009.

Wall Street Journal’s Steve Moore: “This is still a pretty conservative country and people are upset about the policies in Washington and they don’t think the politicians are listening.”
Chris Matthews: “Okay, I think, I think some of the people are upset because we have a black President.”
— Talking about the town hall protests on MSNBC’s Hardball, August 11, 2009.

“Look at the image of the Republican Party, all white males with short haircuts. They look sort of angry. No women, no minorities, and it looks like they’ve sort of become unhinged.”
— MSNBC anchor David Shuster during the 4pm ET hour of live coverage, September 10, 2009.

“They’ve waved signs likening President Obama to Hitler and the devil; raised questions about whether he was really born in this country; falsely accused him of planning to set up death panels; decried his speech to students as indoctrination; and called him everything from a ‘fascist’ to a ‘socialist’ to a ‘communist.’ …And all that was before Mr. Obama’s speech was interrupted by a representative who once fought to keep the Confederate flag waving over the South Carolina state house. Add it all up, and some prominent Obama supporters are now saying that it paints a picture of an opposition driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President.”
— ABC’s Dan Harris on World News, September 15, 2009.

 

Critics Need to Shut Up Before Obama Gets Hurt

“We turn now to the contentious debate over President Obama’s health care agenda. The rising anger is now ramping up concerns over the President’s personal safety….”
— ABC’s Bill Weir introducing a story on Good Morning America, August 14, 2009. The on-screen headline: “Anxious Moments; Threats Growing In Health Care Debate?”

Host Chris Matthews: “The activists on radio are not afraid, because they’re not afraid of anything. But at some point, if we have violence in this country against our President of any form or attempt, people are gonna pay for it, the people who have encouraged the craziness….”
The Politico’s Roger Simon: “I agree 100 percent, but the base of the party, the core of the party, likes the clown show….They’re playing with fire.”
— MSNBC’s Hardball, September 22, 2009.

“It seems to me that there is a sort of meanness that’s settled over our political dialogue. It started this summer at these town hall meetings….President Carter is now saying that he thinks it’s racial. Nancy Pelosi says it could be dangerous. What do you think it’s all about?”
— CBS’s Bob Schieffer to President Obama on Face the Nation, September 20, 2009.

“House Speaker Pelosi worried about the opposition, the tone of it, perhaps leading to violence as it did in the ’70s. There’s more recent examples of anti-government violence — occurring even in the mid-’90s. Do you worry about that?”
— David Gregory to Obama on NBC’s Meet the Press, September 20, 2009.

“I was in Israel interviewing Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin just before he was assassinated in 1995….The parallels to Israel then and America today turn my stomach: I have no problem with any of the substantive criticism of President Obama from the right or left. But something very dangerous is happening. Criticism from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination.”
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, September 30, 2009.

“Is President Obama at risk, not politically, but physically? Has the political heat over issues big and small gotten so hot, it threatens the President’s life?…Congressman Patrick Kennedy, whose uncles John and Bobby were assassinated, warns that angry opposition to health care reform could lead to violence. There are consequences, he said, to angry rhetoric.”
— Host Anderson Cooper on CNN’s AC360, September 30, 2009.

 

Still Blaming a “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”

Moderator David Gregory: “Your wife famously talked about the vast right wing conspiracy targeting you. As you look at this opposition on the right to President Obama, is it still there?”
Former President Bill Clinton: “Oh, you bet. Sure it is.”
— NBC’s Meet the Press, September 27, 2009.

 

So Much for Sticking Up for Fellow Journalists

“Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue.”
Time’s Joe Klein on the magazine’s “Swampland” blog, October 23, 2009.

Detroit Firefighter Fired for Bringing ‘Racially Insensitive’ Watermelon to Work

Detroit Firefighter Fired for Bringing ‘Racially Insensitive’ Watermelon to Work

8 Oct, 2017
8 Oct, 2017

A Detroit firefighter was fired before he officially began his first day on the job for bringing a watermelon to work.

Robert Pattison, 41, introduced himself to his fellow firefighters at Engine 55 at the corner of Joy and Southfield in Detroit by bringing a welcome gift, WJBK reported.

Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty calls this welcome gift “a tradition” for Engine 55’s firefighters.

“It’s not mandatory, it’s voluntary,” he said. “You come in bearing gifts. The usual gift is doughnuts, but you are allowed to bring whatever you want to bring in.”

Pattison, who was a probationary firefighter, decided to stand out from the crowd and bring a watermelon with a pink bow on top.

Some black firefighters were reportedly offended by Pattison’s gesture since 90 percent of the firefighters at Engine 55 are black.

“When you get your first detail at a firehouse you pretty much know what you are getting yourself into,” said Patrick Trout. “So you would have to say it was probably a bad call.”

McCarty said that some people at the firehouse claim it is “racially insensitive” to bring a watermelon to a firehouse.

Pattison argued that he did not bring in the watermelon as a joke and had no intention of offending his colleagues.

Fire Commissioner Eric Jones said in a statement that Pattison was officially discharged:

There is zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior inside the Detroit Fire Department. On Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017, at Engine 55, a trial firefighter (probationary employee) engaged in unsatisfactory work behavior which was deemed offensive and racially insensitive to members of the Detroit Fire Department. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the best course of action was to terminate the employment of this probationary employee.

Despite Commissioner Jones’s statement, McCarty does not think Pattison should have lost his job over a watermelon.

“I don’t think so,” McCarty said. “Between what he did and what was there are a few things that could have been done.”

Several left-of-center outlets, including HuffPost and the Atlantic, have documented how watermelons are racist symbols of ages past. They primarily argue that the symbol was meant to characterize black people as unclean, lazy, childish, and an unwanted presence.

Was Vegas an FBI Sting Gone Bad?

Why is there no motive for the Vegas massacre? Why did Stephen Paddock have a secret life?

It is terrible to contemplate, but the possibility that Stephen Paddock was an undercover federal operative or informant cannot be ruled out. He may have been either set up or used by ISIS and/or a federal agency in a scheme that backfired.

Far-Left Crank Dianne Feinstein Admits No Law Could Have Stopped Vegas Shooter (VIDEO)

Even far-left crank, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), one of the loudest gun control voices in Congress, admitted that no law could have stopped Stephen Paddock from killing 59 people and injuring over 500.

Feinstein appeared on ‘Face the Nation’ Sunday morning to discuss legislation to ban the sale of bump stocks, which is a gun modification to increase the rate of fire. Stephen Paddock used bump stocks on his firearms during his shooting rampage.

Host John Dickerson asked the Democrat Senator if there could have been any law passed which would have prevented Paddock from carrying out a mass shooting.

“Could there have been any law passed that would’ve stopped him?” Dickerson asked.

“No, he passed background checks registering for handguns and other weapons on multiple occasions,” Feinstein said.

Ireland honors dead commie Che Guevara

The postal service in the Republic of Ireland has decided to honor psychopathic mass-murdering communist Ernesto “Che” Guevara with a €1.00 (one euro) postage stamp on the 50th anniversary of his death. The decision was approved by Ireland’s cabinet, which didn’t bother to submit the matter to the Oireachtas, the country’s parliament.

SNL Mocked Trump But Ignored Harvey Weinstein

SNL Mocked Trump But Ignored Harvey Weinstein

8 Oct, 2017
8 Oct, 2017

The latest episode of Saturday Night Live saw its regular roast of President Donald Trump, calls for gun control in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, but not one word was uttered about embattled film mogul Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual harassment of multiple women over a period of decades.

Sean Deb, the New York Times’ media reporter, called the lack of Weinstein coverage “curious” because the long-running NBC comedy show “has mocked lesser known figures.”

“As I said before: SNL has mocked lesser known figures. Weinstein is a huge Hollywood mogul. To not even mention in Update was curious,” Deb wrote Sunday.

Weinstein — who stands accused of using his powerful status to take advantage of young actresses, including Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan — has been publicly condemned by several Hollywood stars, has had his political donations to Democratic Party lawmakers donated away, and has become the latest high-profile face of sexual harassment in entertainment since perhaps Bill Cosby.

So, it was expected that SNL would devote a few minutes to the scandal. But it didn’t, and other media personalities noticed.

Katie Krause, producer and host of Entertainment Tonight:

ESPN columnist Buster Olney:

Late-night TV hosts — including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and James Corden — also ignored Thursday the blistering New York Times report alleging Weinstein sexually harassed multiple women over a period of decades.

SNL creator and comedy veteran Lorne Michaels reportedly said he didn’t scorch Weinstein Saturday because the Queens-born Hollywood super-producer is from New York.

“It’s a New York thing,” Michaels reportedly told the Daily Mail at an SNL afterparty.

Saturday’s show, however, guest starred Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, an emotional Las Vegas tribute musical performance from country star Jason Aldean, and a sketch about O.J. Simpson.

Will Meryl Streep Condemn Harvey Weinstein Who She Called ‘God’?

Will Meryl Streep Condemn Harvey Weinstein Who She Called ‘God’?

8 Oct, 2017
8 Oct, 2017

Veteran actress Meryl Streep has been silent in the wake of a bombshell New York Times report alleging decades of sexual harassment allegations against the Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein, who she once called “God.”

Streep and Weinstein have years of history — in her 2012 Golden Globe acceptance speech, the actress thanked “God – Harvey Weinstein.” The pun was met with thunderous applause by the star-studded.

VIDEO

Streep’s silence in the wake of the myriad allegations facing Weinstein has not gone unnoticed.

Best-selling author and conservative commentator Ann Coulter called out Streep for remaining mum over Weinstein, while repeatedly trashing President Trump.

“Merle Streep on Trump: “Evil prospers when good men do nothing” … Like she did for 20 years, winning Oscars,” Coulter tweeted.

But the Academy Award-winning star is one of many actresses who’ve worked with the embattled movie mogul, who’ve said nothing of this high-profile scandal.

Among those A-list leading ladies are, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Anna Paquin, Renee Zelwegger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Judi Dench, and Penelope Cruz — many of whom have spoken out about domestic abuse and sexual assault in entertainment and other professional spaces.

Kidman, for example, used her acceptance speech at the Emmy’s last month to highlight domestic abuse and violence against women.

To be sure, several actresses have called out Weinstein since the allegations were reported including actresses Amber Tamblyn, Lena Dunham, and Brie Larson

As Streep, and others, remain silent, a steady and almost daily stream of new allegations against Weinstein continue to surface. The mega-producers has denied the allegations against him and has accepted “responsibility” for his past behavior. Weinstein has also threatened to sue the New York Times for what he called “reckless reporting.”

On Sunday, the Weinstein Co. board of directors announced that Weinstein had been terminated, effective immediately, according to the Associated Press.

Harvey Weinstein Fired From The Weinstein Company

Harvey Weinstein Fired From The Weinstein Company

8 Oct, 2017
8 Oct, 2017

The Weinstein Co. board of directors has terminated Harvey Weinstein, effective immediately, less than a week after the New York Times published a report alleging decades of sexual harassment allegations against the Hollywood super-producer and Democratic party donor.

“In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of The Weinstein Company […] have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately,” TWC’s board of directors said in a statement released Sunday.

The company, which Weinstein co-founded and thrust into perennial Oscar glory, decided within days of announcing that its embattled boss would take an indefinite leave of absence.

In the wake of the Times bombshell report, three of the nine members of The Weinstein Company board — including billionaire publishing heir Dirk Ziff, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, and Technicolor Deputy CEO Tim Sarnoff — resigned.

(Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP, File)

Weinstein had hired high-powered attorney Charles Harder, who won a $140 million settlement for Hulk Hogan against Gawker, before the Times story broke. But hours after the story went to print, Weinstein vowed to sue the paper for $50 million over what he called its “reckless reporting” and “inability to be honest with me” about the term of an alleged previous agreement.

The Academy Award-winning producer told Page Six last week that the Times “had a deal with us that they would tell us about the people they had on the record in the story, so we could respond appropriately, but they didn’t live up to the bargain.”

Weinstein has denied wrongdoing but apologized for the “pain” he has caused in a statement to the Times.

“I admit to a whole way of behavior that is not good. I can’t talk specifics, but I put myself in positions that were stupid, I want to respect women and do things better,” Weinstein said, vowing to change.

The Times reported that Weinstein had agreed to no less than eight financial settlements with women, dating back to the early 1990s, who had accused him of sexual harassment. The report detailed accusations from actresses Ashley Judd — who first worked with Weinstein on the 1997 film Kiss the Girls — and Rose McGowan, among others.

The story and the allegations in it caused several Hollywood actresses to called out Weinstein. A growing number of Democrat Party lawmakers have promised to return or donate the mass amounts of money Weinstein had donated to them over the years. Though there has been a deafening silence from late-night hosts, Saturday Night Live, and a number of A-list actresses in the wake of the scandal.

SNL Smears Gun Owners as Crazy Poor People With Small Penises

While the adults were investigating the motives of the man responsible for the Las Vegas mass shooting, and other were discussing new regulations of bump stocks, the man-children at NBC’s Saturday Night Live were attacking all gun owners for the acts of one man. “The investigation into the tragedy in Las Vegas this week has sparked a larger debate in America between people who want common sense gun control and people who are wrong,” announced fake newsman Colin Jost, setting the tone for the bit.

This shouldn’t be a partisan issue,” Jost declared during the Weekend Update skit. The guy had 47 guns. No one should own 47 of anything. If you own 47 cats, you are not a responsible pet owner, you’re a crazy cat lady.” In a thinly veiled call for gun confiscation, he joked that “unlike with guns, the government will actually come and take your cats away, because everyone agrees that’s insane.” Actually, it’s because it’s animal cruelty.

Jost argued that alarms should sound when someone buys too many guns like his bank account does when he spends too much money. “How is no one keeping track of how many guns people own? There is a real law in Texas that says it’s illegal to own more than six dildos,” he pointed out, as if that was the evidence needed for greater gun control and not for the repeal of the intrusive Texas law.

Fake co-anchor Michael Che then slammed Second Amendment advocates as unbalanced snowflakes and claimed they shouldn’t need more than six bullets:

I mean, why is it so hard to get gun control in this country? I mean who are these delicate snowflakes that we can’t just tell: “No, you are not allowed to have 40 guns anymore, Earl. From now on you can have one gun, max, and six bullets. If you can’t hit what’s coming for you in six shots, then your ass needs to learn karate. Or use your words.”

VIDEO

I’m sick of this narrative that Americans just love guns so much. It’s a not true,” Che announced as he rattled off statistics with no cited source. 78 percent of Americans don’t even own a gun. And three percent of Americans own 50 percent of all the guns in the country. That’s the problem: that whinny three percent the country that needs to feel secure all the time.

So Che proposed a lewd sort of buyback program that could suit those insecure gun owners. “For every gun, you trade in, we give you one-half-inch of penis enlargement. That’s fair. If you trade in ten guns, you get five more inches,” he pitched to the cheers from the lowbrow audience.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said that he wants Congress to look into some proposals for gun control. But first, he wants to look into this briefcase from the NRA,” he chided as he showed a picture of a briefcase with money hanging out of it. But the joke was on him because the NRA had come out in favor of greater regulation of bump stocks.

According to Che, gun owners were hypocritical for being patriotic and worried about the government. And of course he mocked them as people living in trailers:

Yeah, I noticed that the people who bring up the Second Amendment all the time are always the same people who preach “respect law enforcement, support the troops.” Meanwhile, they have a closet full of weapons because they think those same troops are going to come and drive their house away.

This just proves how elitists on the coast have nothing but pure disgust for the people living in fly-over-country. And it’s was ultimately why President Trump got elected.

COLIN JOST: The investigation into the tragedy in Las Vegas this week has sparked a larger debate in America between people who want common sense gun control and people who are wrong. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. The guy had 47 guns. No one should own 47 of anything. If you own 47 cats, you are not a responsible pet owner, you’re a crazy cat lady. And unlike with guns, the government will actually come and take your cats away, because everyone agrees that’s insane.

Also, this guy bought 33 of his guns in the past year. And that didn’t set off any kind of alert? If I buy $100 worth of Chick-fil-A, I get a text message from my bank that says, “Did you just purchase $100 worth of Chick-fil-A? Please, Colin, tell us this is fraud.” How is no one keeping track of how many guns people own? There is a real law in Texas that says it’s illegal to own more than six dildos. And I get why. No one needs that many. If you own more than six dildos, it’s a clear sign you are training for something awful.

MICHAEL CHE: I mean, why is it so hard to get gun control in this country? I mean who are these delicate snowflakes that we can’t just tell: “No, you are not allowed to have 40 guns anymore, Earl. From now on you can have one gun, max, and six bullets. If you can’t hit what’s coming for you in six shots, then your ass needs to learn karate. Or use your words.”

I’m sick of this narrative that Americans just love guns so much. It’s a not true. 78 percent of Americans don’t even own a gun. And three percent of Americans own 50 percent of all the guns in the country. That’s the problem, that whinny three percent the country that needs to feel secure all the time. That’s why I think we should do a buy-back program. For every gun you trade in, we give you one-half-inch of penis enlargement. [ Cheers and applause ] That’s fair. If you trade in ten guns, you get five more inches. And if any women want to trade in their guns, don’t. Keep your guns. Because you’re probably going to need them to fight off all those men in spandex fighting to show off their brand-new penises.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said that he wants Congress to look into some proposals for gun control. But first, he wants to look into this briefcase from the NRA. We have got to do something about the guns this the country. And I know about the Second Amendment. I know you need your guns to protect you from the government.

Yeah, I noticed that the people who bring up the Second Amendment all the time are always the same people who preach “respect law enforcement, support the troops.” Meanwhile, they have a closet full of weapons because they think those same troops are going to come and drive their house away.

It’s hypocritical. It’s like saying, “I love my wife, I trust my wife, but that sneaky bitch is coming for me.”
