Was CNN Trying To Make These 8 Republican Women Look Like Racists?

After CNN and other liberal networks watched the bottom fall out of the Russia collusion story that initially seemed like a sure thing in their eyes, they called an audible and set their sights on a new objective: labeling President Donald Trump a “racist.” Unfortunately for them, much of America doesn’t seem to be buying…

NY Times Front Extols Genocidal Chairman Mao for ‘Greater Rights’ for China’s Women

The New York Times has a repellent recurring habit of whitewashing the evils of Communism while actually praising the murderous ideology by giving it unearned credit for its ideals, which were never achieved and often dubious in themselves, while bashing freedom and capitalism. The latest appeared in Wednesday’s Times, with Amy Qin reporting from China with “As China Prospers, Women Watch Futures Fade.”

YouGov Poll: Nearly 9-in-10 GOP Voters Support Trump Telling Democrats ‘Go Back, Help Fix’ Foreign Countries

Almost nine-in-ten Republican voters say they support President Trump’s comments directed at some Democrats this week in which he said they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

This week, Trump blasted elected Democrats on Twitter for “viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run” despite arriving “from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world.”

Trump tweeted:

Although Republican lawmakers — including Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) – the establishment media, and Democrats have slammed Trump for making the comments, the overwhelming majority of Republican voters say they like the tweets.

A YouGov survey this week finds that about 88 percent, or nearly nine-in-ten, Republican voters said they thought the tweets were “great,” “good,” or “okay.” Less than 15 percent of Republican voters said the tweets were “bad” or “terrible.”

Similarly, 90 percent of Trump supporters said they liked the president’s tweets, while less than ten percent called them “bad” or “terrible.”

Among Hispanic American voters, a majority of 52 percent said they liked Trump’s tweets and about 53 percent of white Americans said the same.

Swing voters are largely split about their feelings towards Trump’s “go back” comments. While 48 percent of swing voters said they think the tweets are “great,” “good,” or “okay,” another 51 percent said they found the tweets to be “bad” or “terrible.”

This week, Trump continued to say that new arrivals and immigrants who are “not happy here” should “leave” rather than attack the U.S. and American citizens.

“As far as I’m concerned, if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here, you can leave,” Trump said this week at the White House. “… If you’re complaining all the time, very simply you can leave, you can leave right now. Come back if you want, don’t come back, that’s okay too. But if you’re not happy, you can leave.”

What real racism looks like, from a member of ‘the squad’

Finally!  Racism perfectly demonstrated by Rep. Ayanna  Pressley, one of the four congressional leftists House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls “the squad,” and it’s an order, not an indictment! 

“This is the time to redefine that table,” she continued. “Because if you’re going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office, if you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice.”

“If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don’t even show up because we need you to represent that voice.”  In short, capitulate to our ideology or make yourself scarce. You don’t count.  You will not be heard. 

There it is, once and for all.  Only people with the correct opinions as dictated by radical leftists, one of the infamous and ridiculous “AOC squad,” will be allowed to be black or brown or whatever their grievance group.  Her pronouncement made clear that the American left is now admittedly and proudly totalitarian.  No black, brown, Muslim or gay person can be heard if he or she dares to deviate from the party line.  What is the party line?  You’re all victims, you blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and gays.  You must rage against everything for which this country stands.  America is a racist, homophobic country, forever tainted by the sin of slavery.  That 600k+ Americans died to end it in 1865 are never acknowledged by this crowd.  These leftists are addicted to their own malevolent hatred and the spotlight that their media allies are so happy to provide for them.  They think they are heroines, this squad of ignorant anti-Americans.  Surrounded as they are by sycophants who hang on every silly word they utter, they believe themselves to be the face of the Democratic party.  It seems in fact that they are.  They mean to eject the old, white, folks from their Congress – along with any black or brown person who might share their perspective.  They even accused Pelosi of being racist!  And still she embraced them and went to bat for them on the floor of the House.  That she thought this was a smart move only reveals that she is past her cagey prime. 

Trump’s tweets that set off the latest firestorm, by the way, had nothing to do with race.  Had the flame-throwers bothered to read them and put them in context with hundreds of other Trump tweets, if saner people existed in D.C., those tweets would have been ignored by the left.  The essence of them — if you don’t like this country, leave! — was entirely true, as everyone knows.  But the foolish left in and out of the media thought that perhaps they could use this to get Trump out of the White House. Hilarious.  How dumb are these folks?  That dumb. Their desperation is showing in their wretched irrationality.  As is known now, these women are extremely unpopular in and out of their own districts.  They are dragging their party into the gutter of identity politics.  They see themselves as victims. They want to be seen as victims.  Hmmm….let’s see; each a woman of color, two of them Muslim, Omar rescued by the U.S., and each elected to high office in America.  These women are not victims.  They are perfect examples of what has made America great.  But this bunch is so viciously anti-American, so ungrateful for the privileges they have enjoyed as Americans, they represent the absolute worst of this nation.  Which is why no one outside of their own party and the mainstream media likes them, let alone thinks they matter.

The question of the day then is why is the rest of the party is so afraid to call them out?  Clearly they are unapologetic racists and anti-Semites.  They all abhor the existence of Israel and say so in countless ways.  Why are the rest of the Democrats in Congress such willing dupes to these imbeciles?  Because they love their power and position more than they love the country.  It’s as simple as that.  The same goes for the four lame Republicans who voted for the House resolution Tuesday to condemn Trump’s original tweets. effectively succoring the four members of the “squad.”  Shameless cowards:  Reps. Will Hurd, Fred Upton, Susan Brooks and Brian Fitzpatrick.  Let them go the way of John Kasich, Jeff Flake and the rest of the GOP wimps.  They just lost any respect any sentient Republican had for them.  One would think they knew that by now.  These four women refuse to condemn the violence of antifa.  Omar will not condemn Al-Qaida; she actually equates them to America and the U.S. military.  Her comment on 9/11?  ”Some people did something.”  Rep. Rashida Tlaib is a profanity-spewing fan of Louis Farrakhan.  What more do Americans need to know?  Not much.

 Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote those tweets.  He knew the left and media would pounce and subsequently make fools of themselves.  They do not report news, they publish carefully constructed narratives.  They continue to believe that the American people are easily manipulated, led, deceived and indoctrinated.  That is why they were so certain Trump could not win. 

Our Trump-deranged left continues to poke itself in its own eye.  What Pelosi did on Tuesday in the House was pitiful.  She and her partners in malfeasance made fools of themselves.  They also most likely forced several million Democrats out of her party in embarrassment.  There are people between the coasts who want no part of Pelosi’s theatrics and her lame defense of  these contemptible women, AOC, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley, based on nothing but Trump’s truths.  If Americans were not previously cognizant of the depth of the left’s racism, Ayanna Pressley and her pals in the “squad” have publicly professed it for all to hear.

List of Racist Statements by Members of the ‘Squad’ (So Far)

President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that “I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!” and challenged his critics to “Get a list of the HORRIBLE things” that the four Democratic congresswomen of the so-called “Squad” have said.

It is worth noting that all four — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) are members of a group called the “Justice Democrats.” The group is specifically devoted to backing primary candidates against Democratic incumbents seen as being too moderate and too white.

Last November, the Justice Democrats launched a campaign called “#OurTime,” aimed at recruiting candidates to challenge “Democratic incumbents who are demographically and ideologically out-of-touch with their districts.”

From the start, the “Squad” devoted itself to an explicitly race-based political effort.

Then there are their statements.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

From the start, “AOC” used race in her campaign for Congress. As Politico noted in 2018, she challenged incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY), who is white, on “ideological, generational and racial grounds, arguing that the 10-term congressman was not in step with his majority-minority district and was too cozy with corporate donors.”

AOC also has a record of controversial statements about Israel. She claimed, for example, that Israel had committed a “massacre” of Palestinian protesters at the border fence last year. The vast majority were actually members of Hamas, a terrorist organizations that was using the fake “protest” to launch infiltrations and violent attacks against Israel.

In recent weeks, AOC has shown even greater insensitivity to the Jewish community by comparing migrant facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border to “concentration camps.” Attorney Alan Dershowitz, a Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, called her claims a form of Holocaust denial. Despite criticism from the U.S. Holocaust Museum, Israel’s Yad Vashem, and others, AOC refused to apologize and rejected an invitation to visit actual concentration camp sites.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

Omar has a long history of anti-Israel statements that have included antisemitic themes, such as suggesting that Jews control the world. In 2012, she tweeted: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” Local Jewish community leaders in Minnesota staged an intervention before she took up her seat in Congress — to no avail; she continued making offensive anti-Israel and antisemitic statements.

In February, Omar tweeted, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” suggesting (falsely) that a pro-Israel group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), bribed members of Congress to support Israel. The implication was that Jews were using money to control Congress. Omar apologized for that tweet, but went on, a few weeks later, to claim that pro-Israel members of Congress owed “allegiance to a foreign country.” The chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a fellow Democrat, called her statement a “vile antisemitic slur,” but she refused to apologize.

In an effort to tamp down the controversy, House Democrats passed a resolution condemning antisemitism — but only among other forms of hatred, and without mentioning Omar specifically. After the resolution passed, Omar took a victory lap, claiming (falsely) that it marked the first time Congress had condemned anti-Muslim prejudice.

More recently, Omar has supported AOC’s inflammatory claim that the migrant facilities are “concentration camps.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)

Tlaib believes that the State of Israel has no right to exist and should be dismantled — a stance that lost her the support of the far-left J Street organization, which likes to maintain the pretense of support for a two-state solution.
In January, Tlaib posted an antisemitic tweet, declaring that members of Congress who supported Israel “forgot what country they represent.” The American Jewish Committee accused her of using an antisemitic claim of “dual loyalty.”

In February, Tlaib called Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton, a black woman, a “prop” for appearing in the gallery during a hearing where members of Congress were debating whether Trump was racist.

In May, Tlaib made the bizarre statement that she felt “a calming feeling … when I think of the Holocaust.” She explained by making the false claim that Palestinians had offered Jews a “safe haven” from the Holocaust.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)

On Sunday, just hours after the president posted his congressional tweets, Pressley told left-wing bloggers at Netroots Nation: “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.” She appeared to assume that the only legitimate “black voice” was leftist; black Americans with other views were legitimate targets of racial attack.

Pressley’s bio on her official House of Representatives website — not a personal or campaign page — implies that a white person cannot represent her congressional district: “The Massachusetts 7th is the most diverse and most unequal district in the state, requiring a representative whose experiences are reflective of the people,” it says.

Omar: I ‘Do Not’ Regret Past Anti-Semitic Comments

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn) said in a recent interview that she doesn’t regret her past anti-Semitic remarks, but says she is "grateful for the opportunity" to learn how her words have affected others.

Omar appeared on CBS This Morning alongside three other female progressive Democrats known as the  "squad," where she was asked to address her previous anti-Semitic remarks that have received backlash from Republican and Democratic lawmakers in Congress.

"Often times there are things that you might say might not hold weight for you, but to someone else, the way that we hear and consume information is very different than how the next person might," Omar said.

"So you don’t regret your words either?" co-host Gayle King asked.

"I do not, but I have gotten the — I’m grateful for the opportunity to really learn how my words made people feel and have taken every single opportunity I’ve gotten to make sure that people understood that I apologize for it," Omar said.

King followed up by asking whether Omar would like to make it clear she isn’t anti-Semitic.

"Oh certainly not," Omar said.

"Would you like to make that clear?" King asked again.

"Yes, nothing I said, at least to me, was meant for that purpose," Omar said.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), another member of the "squad," told King she didn’t regret her vulgar comment about impeaching President Donald Trump either.

When asked if she regretted her comment, she said, "Absolutely not. I’m unapologetic about it. I’m definitely definitely going to push forward and say we have to impeach him."

Earlier this year, she yelled, "We’re going to impeach this motherf—r."

Focus Group Of Swing Voters Side With Trump On Immigration

Media outlet Axios formed a small focus group of 12 swing voters to gauge their opinion on how President Donald Trump is handling illegal immigration. Their responses are probably not what the media expected.

The voters were from Warren, Michigan, which is in Macomb County. Axios reported that the town voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 by nearly 10 points (Axios described this as a “narrow” win but 51.9% to 42.7% is hardly narrow). Macomb County, however, voted for Trump by 48,351 votes.

The group “included nine people who voted for Barack Obama in 2012 and Trump in ’16, and three who flipped from Mitt Romney to Hillary Clinton.” So, yes, the group was skewed toward Trump, but seeing as how the people had previously voted for Obama, they could change their vote in 2020.

One of the biggest takeaways from the group was how many agreed that giving illegal immigrants free things would just make the problem worse, Axios reported:

Eight of these participants, including one Romney-Clinton voter, agreed with this statement: “When we give migrants food, clothing, toiletries, and shelter, all we’re doing is encouraging more of them to come to the U.S., and we don’t want that.”

Axios reported that their focus group kept bringing up immigration, and that the “responses sounded a lot like the ‘America First’ message President Trump has been championing.” For example, the room reportedly “got really animated” when the issue of giving illegal immigrants free health care.

“Why would you want to give it to another person from a different country for free?” one person asked.

“Give them free benefits, this that and the other thing. That is ridiculous,” said another. “They’ll come from anywhere and get a house and a car, too.”

The group also pushed for more focus on American citizens.

“I don’t want to be a jerk,” the same participant said. “I feel terrible for these people, but there are people in this country who are struggling to survive. We need to focus on the United States.”

The group reportedly brought up the homeless and veterans as populations needing help in America.

The outlet reported that even those who disagreed with how Trump has been discussing the issue agreed with his actual actions.

“His stance on immigration is a little too far for me, but I tend to agree with it,” one person said. “His grandparents came from Italy ‘the right way,’ so to see people not following the rules … I have a problem with that.”

While a majority of Americans tell pollsters they disapprove of what Trump has done on the issue, actually talking to may find a different result. People aren’t always honest with pollsters for various reasons, including a fear of judgement.

And while the media have hyped Trump’s tough stance on illegal immigration, his administration has not deported as many illegal immigrants as the Obama administration. It was also the Obama administration that created the conditions the immigrants now face, for which Trump is routinely demonized.

WATCH AG Barr’s powerful, moving speech against anti-Semitism: A ‘cancer’ on American society

At a Department of Justice anti-anti-Semitism summit on Monday, Attorney General William Barr said that the United States government would “not tolerate” anti-Semitic attacks against Jewish people and compared anti-Semitism to a “cancer” on American society.

Barr began his remarks by saying that he is “deeply concerned about the rise in hate crimes and political violence that we have seen over the past decade. And this trend has included a marked increase in reported instances of anti-Semitic hate crimes.”

“The most ancient and stubborn form of racism throughout Western history has been anti-Semitism,” Barr continued. “Hostility or prejudice against the Jewish people has manifested itself in the organized violence of pogroms, expulsions, and massacres. Within living memory, these genocidal acts reached the unimaginable scale and evil of the Holocaust.”

“In the United States today, we do not see state-organized violence, but increasingly we are seeing hate-inspired violence against the Jewish community perpetrated by individuals and groups,” Barr expounded, mentioning recent attacks on synagogues in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Poway, California.

“In both instances, gunmen motivated by hatred against Jews opened fire, killing worshippers and injuring others; we were all horrified by these attacks,” Barr continued.

But while those attacks garnered nationwide media attention, Barr added, “far too often Jews and Jewish communities in America suffer outside the spotlight.”

“In New York city this past year,” the attorney general explained, “we have seen a sharp uptick in attacks on orthodox Jews, particularly in the Crown Heights neighborhood. People are attacking Jews in the streets and vandalizing synagogues. In Massachusetts in March, vandals desecrated 59 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery, knocking over headstones and scrawling swastikas and hateful graffiti.”

Barr said these lesser-known instances “form the daily background of concerns about security and safety that many in the Jewish community feel. The nation as a whole must be aware of these concerns and reject the forces that motivate them.”

“As attorney general and a fellow citizen, I want to assure the Jewish community that the Department of Justice and the entire federal government stands with you and will not tolerate these attacks,” Barr said to thunderous applause.

Barr  went on to explain that anti-Semitism takes other forms besides violence toward Jewish people and organizations. “We need to combat anti-Semitism on all fronts as a government, but also as a society.”

“Hate crimes and civil rights prosecutions are important tools, but they cannot solve the problem on their own,” Barr added. “Hearts and minds must be changed, but that is not always the task to which the government is particularly well-suited. We have a legal obligation to respect the free speech rights of even despicable speakers and our harshest critics. But lines can be drawn by our society, sometimes easily and sometimes not so easily, between that commitment and repudiation of anti-Semitism.”

“I think of the various forms of anti-Semitism as very much like different kinds of cancer,” Barr explained. “A healthy body with a strong immune system can have success in preventing cancer from emerging or spreading. But if the immune system weakens, cancer can emerge. Some might be localized, but others can rapidly metastasize and become systemic. Just like a physical body, a body politic must have an immune system that resists anti-Semitism and other forms of racial hatred.”

“We’re a pluralistic nation composed of very distinct groups, each bound together by ethnicity, race, or religion — each group proud of its identity and committed to its faith and traditions,” Barr concluded. “Yet, despite these differences, we can be bound together into a broader community: Not one that seeks to grind away our distinctive identity. Not one that seeks to overbear our religious commitments, which must be paramount, but one that respects, indeed delights in, the freedom of each of us to hold fast our identity, our values, our religion, the part of us that give meaning to our lives, that help us understand our place and our purpose in this creation.”

Barr’s full speech can be viewed on C-Span.
