Conservative America’s mainstream media war

For years, mainstream media have waged an incessant, calculated war upon conservative America. 


However, following a seismic presidential election, where a deadpan populist movement ruled, the wounded modern-day propaganda blitzkrieg has doubled down. 



To show their teeth, staggered liberal executives unleashed the largest campaign of out-group bias ever aimed toward a political opponent.  Brash everyday progressives have followed suit.  Motivated by a consequence-free atmosphere of conservative-bashing, sermonized by the nation’s largest corporations, why wouldn’t they?


What an enlightened time for the “compassionate party.”  What a trying time for a conservative.


Now set in overdrive, the engine of elitist rhetoric advanced recently by claiming the professional career of Roseanne Barr, as comedienne Samantha Bee took verbal potshots at Ivanka Trump and Antifa launched yet another Portland attack. 


With respect to Barr and Ivanka, as the machine rolls, Antifa’s latest round of thinly veiled criminal activism looms most urgent.


This is due to the climate of fear Alt-Lefters seek to evoke. 


One must imagine how ardently mainstream media salivate whenever their henchmen punctuate the group’s larger conceptual message with a violent outburst.  Clearly, that message is, in America circa 2018, that conservatism will not be tolerated. 


But, as proven by Election 2016, even in the face of its sternest test from a crafty, often belligerent foe, conservative America is resilient and will not fade.


To illustrate that point, conservatives didn’t blink when George Soros and Jeff Zucker politicized a tragic event while positioning children as manipulative pawns in Parkland’s wake.  Nor did they cave when Twitter declared its political intentions by overtly purging right-leaning users.  Nor do they fall in a society now programmed to “think left.”


In short, no weapon formed against Patriot America shall prosper – not even the most potent: the media.

New York Times Prints Gossipy Tales of Nixon Wife-Beating, LBJ Anger-Pooping

The New York Times has run advertisement underlining how “the truth is more important now more than ever.” But they are still publishing accusations without evidence. Take media reporter Michael Grynbaum’s story on left-wing media hero Seymour Hersh’s life of “Making the Mighty Sweat.” Hersh came to fame for reporting the massacre of Vietnamese civilians by American forces at My Lai. He has a new memoir out: 

As with any Hersh production, Reporter has news. He recalls hearing a tip that Richard Nixon’s wife, Pat, went to the emergency room in 1974, shortly after the Nixons had left the White House, saying her husband had hit her. (Mr. Hersh writes that he made a mistake by not reporting this at the time; the Nixon family denied similar allegations of domestic abuse when they surfaced in years past.) He describes Lyndon Johnson expressing his displeasure over an article by meeting a reporter at his Texas ranch and — there is no pleasant way to put this — defecating on the ground in front of him.

Does Hersh need any real proof of these alleged events? These presidents aren’t alive to defend themselves. I tweeted at CNN’s Brian Stelter that his old newspaper wasn’t really beyond pushing unsupported gossip. He promoted the story in his newsletter with just a quote, and not this.

(In the same vein, Rolling Stone senior writer Jamil Smith asserted without any evidence on Twitter that Melania Trump’s post-surgery privacy “could be about concealing abuse. I wish that it was a ludicrous prospect. I wish that the @POTUS wasn’t a man with a history of abusing women, including those to whom he is married.” Insert joke here: “Rolling Stone never gets abuse stories wrong.” David Frum also imagined that scenario out loud on Twitter.) 

At least when Hersh asserts he shared marijuana with presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy and future governor of California Jerry Brown, someone’s alive to deny it: “A spokesman for Mr. Brown, contacted for this article, called the anecdote ‘a complete and total fabrication.'”

At least Grynbaum eventually noted Hersh is controversial for his insistence that Pakistani government officials knew in advance the Americans were coming into their country to take down Osama bin Laden:

“It’s pretty clear now; nobody disputes it anymore,” he said, in an asked-and-answered tone, when I brought up the Bin Laden piece. (In fact, many reporters and former White House officials still dismiss his version of events as fantasy.)

But the piece also contains gushy praise from New Yorker editor (and former newspaper reporter) David Remnick. Perhaps the Times would suggest they were fair and balanced by publishing Hersh’s dismissal of the Russia probe: 

“Do you have any evidence that these 13 guys really were trolls and changed the election?” he asked, referring to the 13 Russians indicted by the Justice Department in February on charges they tried to subvert the election and support Mr. Trump.

“There have been social science studies of the impact of any particular thing on Facebook, and it’s, like, zippo!” Mr. Hersh went on. “We have a divided America, a really bitterly divided America. Do we really need the Russians to tell us we’re a troubled country?”

But Hersh is also old and cranky enough to suggest that — despite the killing and maiming people thing — the Unabomber was right that technology is taking over our lives.

Navy SEAL Vet Takes Apart David Hogg’s School Safety Plan Piece by Piece

Former Navy SEAL turned entrepreneur and pundit Eli Crane has dismantled anti-gun activist David Hogg’s recently tweeted school safety plan in a lengthy email that took Hogg’s proposals apart, piece by piece.

Hogg, the student at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, who turned the February mass shooting at the schoool into his personal vehicle to celebrity, tweeted out his five-point plan last month.

And he’s seen it roundly criticized on social media.

Hogg called for CDC research into gun violence, universal background checks, the digitization of ATF records, and the ever popular (among liberals) bans on so-called “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines.

TRENDING: Kathy Griffin Goes Off the Rails in Latest Controversy, Claims Samantha Bee Is the Real Victim

Some familiar faces have already weighed in, including Kyle Kashuv, a fellow student at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas who has emerged as a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights.

However, Crane’s exploration of the logical flaws in Hogg’s tweet was arguably one of the most compelling.

“Recently, gun control activist and Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg tweeted a plan to curb violence with an emphasis on gun control,” Crane wrote in his email, published Tuesday by Independent Journal Review.

Do you agree with Eli Crane?

“Though I feel for David and every other victim of this senseless violence, I am once again very disappointed to see another young American with zero respect and understanding for our Constitution and common sense.”

This wasn’t just because of the fact that Crane is a “U.S. veteran and member of the Navy SEAL teams,” who “swore (an) oath to uphold and defend the very rights that David and other Americans are working so hard to abolish.”

Instead, he said it was based on his experience.

“The irony of David’s proposed plan is shortsighted, incomplete and pretty much worthless. I just did a threat assessment of a school three weeks ago in my home state of (Arizona) with an emphasis on active shooter,” Crane wrote.

“My main focus was on first figuring out the multiple ways I could commit the crime myself and then working backward from there — exposing weaknesses and suggesting improvements to keep out those who wish to do harm.

RELATED: Obama Calls on Supporters to ‘Change Our Leadership and Our Laws’

“I can tell you that not one thing David proposed would stop me or anyone else from a whole lot of carnage on that campus or any other for that matter,” he noted.

“David is proposing that we allocate more taxpayer dollars for gun violence research along with mandatory universal background checks and digitized ATF records. He is also calling for a complete ban on high-capacity magazines and ‘assault weapons.’

“I’m not sure if David and other liberals are able to comprehend that EVERY single one of these mass shootings, murders, and gun-related crimes that are so prevalent and concerning to all Americans showcase the complete disregard for any of our existing laws.

“It is illegal to murder one or more innocent people for any reason. It is illegal to bring a firearm to a school. It is illegal to discharge a firearm in a school or within city limits.

“These are a few of the major laws broken at every single school shooting. Yet Hogg and others ironically believe that the laws that they are proposing will be the ones mass (murderers) actually follow,” he wrote.

As for the first point, Crane noted that he’d filled out extensive paperwork for every gun he’s ever purchased.

“The gun show loophole (the sale of a firearm from one private citizen to another without a background check) seems to be the main issue Hogg and others have with our current system, which is one of the few suggestions I would be willing to take a hard look at,” Crane said. “This still would not be effective in stopping the evil epidemic plaguing our schools and our children.

“As far as allocating funding for research, this is one area I agree with David. It is what I believe we should be researching that we differ on,” he continued. “David believes that we should be funding the research of gun violence. I think that would be a waste of time and money.

“If we are going to research anything it needs to be something that will save the most lives NOW. We should be researching the most effective and affordable ways to harden these schools that are unfortunately very soft targets.”

As for ATF record digitization, Crane said that issues like that came down to distrusting power wielded by a federal government that’s often dismissive of Second Amendment concerns:

“Quite simply, most Americans do not trust the federal government,” he wrote.

Crane also noted the possibility of a second revolution against tyranny — something that the country’s founders had in mind when they wrote the Second Amendment.

“Most Americans have grown up in such a protective bubble provided by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along with the protective framework provided by our founders,” Crane wrote. “Quite simply, if Mr. Hogg and others are successful and abolish our Second Amendment as we know it, those of us that are currently able to protect him and others (won’t be able to) should the day (come when the) overreach of our government becomes so great that a second revolution is necessary.”

Crane ended with a lesson all Americans need to remember.

“Academics and activists may yell the loudest and throw the biggest tantrums, but just as Hogg has again illustrated with this proposal, being a victim does not qualify you to champion any kind positive reform,” he wrote.

And that says it all.

Miss America Ditches Swimsuit Competition, Won’t Judge On Looks

The annual Miss America beauty pageant will get rid of the swimsuit competition and will no longer judge contestants on their appearance.

Although the pageant began 100 years ago as a “beauty contest” to draw people to Atlantic City, top pageant officials say the swimsuit portion is no longer appropriate — especially in the days of #MeToo.

“We’re not going to judge you on your appearance because we are interested in what makes you you,” said Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America who is now the head of the organization’s board of trustees.

“”We’ve heard from a lot of young women who say, ‘We’d love to be a part of your program but we don’t want to be out there in high heels and a swimsuit,’ so guess what, you don’t have to do that anymore,” Carlson said in making the announcement Tuesday morning on “Good Morning America.”

“Who doesn’t want to be empowered, learn leadership skills and pay for college and be able to show the world who you are as a person from the inside of your soul?”

Carlson added: “We are no longer a pageant. We are a competition.”

In place of the swimsuit portion of the competition, contestants will now “take part in a live interactive session with the judges, according to the organization,” ABC News reported.

“The organization is also getting rid of the evening gown portion of the competition and instead asking contestants to wear attire that makes them feel confident, expresses their personal style and shows how they hope to advance the role of Miss America,” ABC said.

The pageant was embroiled in controversy last year when emails emerged showing former Miss America officials belittling the intelligence of some contestants, as well as the appearance and sex lives of former title winners. Top officials were replaced and the pageant’s top three positions are now all held by women.

Carlson, who won the pageant in 1989, also said the new Miss America competition will include more women of “all shapes and sizes.”

The official Miss America Twitter account on Tuesday posted a video of a white bikini disappearing in a puff of white smoke with the hashtag #byebyebikini.

Carlson became a passionate advocate for victims of sexual harassment after she settled a lawsuit in 2016 against former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes.

“I could have never expected what would happen when I sued my former employer at Fox News for sexual harassment 22 months ago, but look what has happened,” she said. “Thousands of women have been inspired to know that they can stand up and speak up and their voices will be heard.”

“If I’ve been a beacon of hope to any woman in that process, it has been worth it,” Carlson said.

Too brown to win? That’s what Democrats actually told one of their own candidates

It’s make or break time for the Democrats in California’s crowded “jungle primary,” with only the top two candidates in June’s primary today making it to the ballot in November.


By all accounts, Democrats are running scared.



In the Orange County race to challenge Rep. Dana Rohrabacher for his seat, they’ve got too many candidates running, and with too much money, so the likely result will be a split of leftists’ votes, leaving Democrats with the prospect of two Republicans on the ballot for the November midterms.  That’s panic time, all right, at least for them.


Democrats are famous for muscling their own candidates into a single party line.  But who would have guessed they have actually sought to pare down that crowded plate by telling one of their candidates he’s too brown to win?


Seriously, that happened.  It’s what Democrats reportedly told one of their own candidates, a moderate Reaganite Democrat named Omar Siddiqui, to get him out of there.




Too brown to win?  Omar Siddiqui addresses the locals in the O.C.


According to a buried lede in the Washington Examiner:


Stem cell scientist Hans Keirstead was the Democratic Party’s preferred candidate before he wasn’t.  Businessman Harley Rouda was a Republican, 20 years ago, before he was a Democrat.  And FBI adviser Omar Siddiqui says party officials told him he was too brown to win in Orange County.


As if they can even do that at this late date, with the ballots printed.


They told him he was too brown!  In a county they have hailed for its Asian-American immigrants, placing their bets that these Asian-Americans (of which Siddiqui is likely one) will put Democrats over the top.


If news of this gets out, it should do wonders for their popularity with this increasingly alienated base of voters, already disgusted by Democrat policies promoting university admission discrimination, sanctuary cities, and dumping the homeless on their doorsteps, as I wrote here yesterday.


Obviously, in their by-any-means-necessary Alinskyite philosophy, Democrats are showing they’ll use even racism on their own to do it.  Seriously, too brown?  This isn’t the first instance of their using actual appeals to racists to get their way in this race.  According to the accompanying video to the Examiner piece, they’ve also painted Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell as “China Mitch” based on his wife’s Chinese ancestry.


These are repulsive people.


It shows again that Democrats are the party that views color as more important than content of character – and when it’s convenient for them, they’ll use that in a racist way, telling people to beat it in congressional races because they aren’t the right skin color.  Siddiqui was probably an easy target, given his moderate Democratic stances, an unpopular thing among the left-wing crazies in control of that party.  (If he can just bend a few of his ideas on global warming, he’d likely be a fine Republican, actually.  One hopes this experience with his own party, with its Klansman past, as Dinesh D’Souza has so helpfully pointed out in his films, brings him over to the Republicans.)


Democrats are showing some big-time bad-character bigotry in their desperate quest for power.


Republicans should be making a big deal of this as the November midterms approach.

Liberals Ruin Miss America Pageant: Swimsuit Competition Scrapped, Replaced by Interview Session

Liberals Ruin Miss America Pageant: Swimsuit Competition Scrapped, Replaced by Interview Session

What a sad day for another American tradition.
Liberals destroy everything — even beauty pageants.

Miss America announced it will scrap the swimsuit portion of the competition.
The pageant will interview contestants instead.

Nothing is sacred when there is a liberal in the room.
They even want to redefine beauty.

ABC News reported:

Miss America is scrapping its swimsuit competition and will no longer judge contestants based on physical appearance, the organization announced Tuesday.

“We are no longer a pageant,” Gretchen Carlson, the first former Miss America to be named chair of the Board of Trustees of the Miss America Organization, said on “GMA.” “We are a competition.”

In place of the swimsuit portion of the competition, Miss America contestants will now take part in a live interactive session with the judges, according to the organization.

The contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be asked to demonstrate their passion, intelligence and overall understanding of the job of Miss America.

Slam dunk video exposes CNN/MSNBC idiocy on Trump

Cable news Trump-haters, besotted with outrage, don’t bother to sweat the details when it comes to venting their spleen on President Trump.   Finding something – anything – on which to express outrage is their daily challenge.


Last Friday, when President Trump tweeted that he was looking forward to the jobs report, about to be released, they went into high dudgeon.



Amusing though that sort of indignation can be, it gets hilarious when they make up an imaginary contrast with their fantasies about the wonderfulness of ex-President Obama. Add in a dare to find an example of Obama doing the horrible, terrible, probably illegal and impeachable thing that President Trump did, and they set themselves up for serious embarrassment and humiliation,


Watch the one minute video from the GOP below and be rewarded with a dose of exquisite schadenfreude.
