Several coordinated “White Lives Matter” rallies planned around the country appear to have flopped, as hardly anyone but the saintly “anti-fascist” and “anti-racist” protesters — the only valid activists recognized by polite society these days — showed up. At least, that’s how you’ll hear it from the good folks over at NBC News, whose “disinformation”…

The post If White Supremacists Are Everywhere, Why Did the ‘White Lives Matter’ Rally Flop? appeared first on The Western Journal.

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released explosive video on Tuesday that showed CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester admitting that the network worked to get President Donald Trump out of office and that the network creates “propaganda” on issues they know little about.

While explosive, the footage likely will not come as a surprise are many; polling has shown that CNN is the least trusted cable news network and is the most divisive media brand in the country.

On CNN and it’s employees working to oust Trump from office, Chester made the following remarks throughout various encounters that he had with an undercover Project Veritas journalist:

• “Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100% going to say it, and I 100% believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”
• “It’s going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be climate change awareness.”

On CNN creating “propaganda” to damage Trump, Chester said:

• “[Trump’s] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation — that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He’s unfit to — you know, whatever. We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what — I think that’s propaganda.”

On having a predetermined agenda to cover climate change and to use “fear” to sell it, Chester said:

• “I think there’s a COVID fatigue. So, like whenever a new story comes up, they’re [CNN’s] going to latch onto it. They’ve already announced in our office that once the public is — will be open to it — we’re going to start focusing mainly on climate.”
• “I have a feeling that it’s going to be like, constantly showing videos of decline in ice, and weather warming up, and like the effects it’s having on the economy–”
• Climate change is the next “pandemic-like story that we’ll beat to death, but that one’s got longevity. You know what I mean? Like there’s a definitive ending to the pandemic. It’ll taper off to a point that it’s not a problem anymore. Climate change can take years, so they’ll [CNN will] probably be able to milk that quite a bit.”
• “Be prepared, it’s coming. Climate change is going to be the next COVID thing for CNN.”
• When asked if CNN was going to use “fear” to push their agenda, Chester said, “Yeah. Fear sells.”

Project Veritas said that their release today was only the first part out of three on their new round of damaging undercover videos of CNN employees.

Kicking off week two of his weekday show on Monday, Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld blasted CNN as hellbent on “elevat[ing]…heart rates by making people hate each other” with their latest virtue-signaling charade coming in the form of Brian Stelter, attacking Fox hosts for not posting selfies when getting the coronavirus vaccine.
Gutfeld’s monologue began with clips from CNN charlatan Jim Acosta mocking former President Trump as a loser and then Stelter’s screed about the need for journalists to flaunt themselves on social media.
 
 
The FNC host didn’t mince words after hearing Stelter’s drivel: “Holy [EXPLETIVE]. So now, virtue-signaling includes telling people to virtue signal. OK, Brian. I’ll bite. Why haven’t we made a vanity display of our vac status? Because it’s none of your [EXPLETIVE] business.”
Quipping that Stelter should “start with his cholesterol” if he wanted to talk about publicizing one’s medical information, Gutfeld added that the Zuckerville resident lecturing outsiders about a healthy lifestyle was “as rich as the frosting on his morning strudel.”
Continuing to joke while also making an important point about CNN, Gutfeld continued:
If he wants to do a fitness battle of the network stars, count me in. Unless it’s a pie eating contest. Now last week, I called CNN the shame network, because all it does is look down at Americans, but it’s actually worse than that. It’s now officially pro-peer pressure.
Later on, Gutfeld replayed Fredo Cuomo’s staged reemergence from his basement after his COVID bout to make a larger point about CNN’s penchant for creating “a completely manufactured moment” when they should “worry less about showing off and more about being real.”
Going back to Stelter, Gutfeld riffed about how the Reliable Sources host has been “tearing a rotator cuff” from “patting himself on the back” and if he instead “did one sit-up for every time he shamed other people, he’d have an eight pack in two days.”
Jokes aside, Gutfeld said Stelter’s point wasn’t “about improving health, it’s about showing off while shaming you” as part of CNN’s mission to “elevate their heart rates by making people hate each other”  as they’d “prefer a scarlet letter” for those without the vaccine as opposed to supporting vaccine passports.
He then concluded:    
Stelter is behaving like the guy who smoked cigarettes and then criticizes you for eating red meat. And the truth is, if you get a vaccine because someone on TV did, you’re an idiot. Take responsibility for yourself and make up your own mind. You can still do that in America, I think.
Outside of his conservative-hating and venomous base, Stelter’s gripe fell on deaf ears as his ratings suffered their lowest mark of 2021. FoxNews.com’s Brian Flood found that Reliable Sources had “only 923,000 total viewers” and added to what’s been a viewership of below a million “in four of the past five telecasts.”
In contrast, Gutfeld had been on a ratings tear, easily topping late-night cable comedy rivals Trevor Noah’s Daily Show and Conan O’Brien’s TBS program as well as cable competitors Don Lemon on CNN and Brian Williams on MSNBC. 
Better yet, Gutfeld’s cable show topped NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and nearly tied far-left ABC comic Jimmy Kimmel.

FNC’s Gutfeld!
April 12, 2021
11:00 p.m. Eastern
JIM ACOSTA [on CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta, 04/11/21]: For Donald Trump, every day is kind of a grievance Groundhog Day. It seems he gets up every day, gripes about the election, then wakes up the next day still a loser.
GREG GUTFELD: Hmmm. For Jim Acosta, every day is Halloween. He always goes as a nonpartisan reporter. 
[AUDIENCE CHEERS, LAUGHTER, AND APPLAUSE] [GUTFELD! OPENING CREDITS]
GUTFELD: Yes. All right. So in between calling people racist and finding a therapist for Chris Cuomo. This happened on CNN yesterday.
BRIAN STELTER [on CNN’s Reliable Sources, 04/11/21]: Important to see all these TV anchors, personalities, showing themselves getting the shot. We’ve seen a lot of vaccine selfies from lots of folks at lots of different networks. It’s been really inspiring to see, you know, the today’s show even brought the co-hosts outside for a live group vaccination this week and Rachel Maddow on Friday on MSNBC, talked about how she was really fearful of the needle, really worried about it and yet, it was important to get the shot and she did, and there she is talking about it on air. So, I say all of that to make the following point: Where our Tucker and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham? Where is Ainsley Earhardt and Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. Where are the biggest stars on Fox getting vaccinated? I get it’s a personal choice. I get that’s between, you know, the hosts and their healthcare provider, but everybody else is doing it, right? Not at all across television. All these anchors are rolling up their sleeves. Why do you think we haven’t seen the biggest stars on Fox news get vaccinated or show us their vaccine selfies?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHTER]
GUTFELD: Holy [EXPLETIVE]. So now, virtue signaling includes telling people to virtue signal. OK, Brian. I’ll bite. Why haven’t we made a vanity display of our vac status? Because it’s none of your [EXPLETIVE] business. [AUDIENCE CHEERS, LAUGHTER, AND APPLAUSE] And if — and if Brian — and if Brian — and if Brian believes personal medical info should be publicized, he can start with his cholesterol. [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] His — his HCL numbers are lower than his ratings. The World Obesity Federation found risk of death from COVID-19 is 10 times higher in countries where the population is overweight. And he’s accusing us of not setting a healthy example? That’s as rich as the frosting on his morning strudel. [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] If he wants to do a fitness battle of the network stars, count me in. Unless it’s a pie eating contest. Now last week, I called CNN the shame network, because all it does is look down at Americans, but it’s actually worse than that. It’s now officially pro-peer pressure. Let’s replay Brian’s key arguments. Shall we?
STELTER [on CNN’s Reliable Sources, 04/11/21]: Where are the biggest stars on Fox getting vaccinated? [SCREEN WIPE] I get it’s a personal choice, but everybody else is doing it right, Matt?
GUTFELD: Everybody else is doing it, right, Matt? That’s a great point, Brian. So does that mean you will start showing your news sources since other reporters are doing it? And Brian, you know what else other people are doing? 30 minutes of cardio.  [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] Actually, saying you should do it because other people are doing it isn’t what I would call wisdom.  [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] Now that’s what your worst friend from grade school says. It’s how Bob Lawson got me to eat slugs — that and they were delicious. But look, I got my shot and there’s a reason you didn’t see it. Not everything has to be made for TV. You know what happens when you think like that? This.
CHRIS CUOMO [on CNN’s Cuomo PrimeTime, 04/20/20]: All right. Here it is. The official reentry. from the basement. Cleared by CDC, little sweaty. [KAT TIMPF GROANS] Just worked out. This is what I’ve been dreaming of.
GUTFELD: Yeah.  [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] A completely manufactured moment. All to get it on TV and signal his virtue as if he was down there the whole time and not across the town, across the street, picking fights with locals. [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] So maybe worry less about showing off and more about being real. Fact is, if co-morbidity could talk that, thy name would be Brian Stelter. According to The Washington Post, one study attributed 30 percent of COVID hospitalizations to obesity. So rather than demanding we parade our virtuousness, Stelter should be showing us what he’s doing to get better. [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] Instead, he’s tearing a rotator cuff, patting himself on the back. If this guy did one sit-up for every time he shamed other people, he’d have an eight pack in two days. But see, it’s not about improving health, it’s about showing off while shaming you. Reducing body fat is the number one lifestyle change that improves your chances against COVID and it requires self-control. And that’s exactly why it’s less popular than the apple slices in your Happy Meal. CNN would rather elevate their heart rates by making people hate each other. Instead of a vaccine passport maybe they prefer a scarlet letter. My humble advice. If you have heightened risks for COVID address them before judging others. Stelter is behaving like the guy who smoked cigarettes and then criticizes you for eating red meat. And the truth is, if you get a vaccine because someone on TV did, you’re an idiot.  [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] Take responsibility for yourself and make up your own mind. You can still do that in America, I think.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS, LAUGHTER, AND APPLAUSE] 
ANNOUNCER: Period.

Project Veritas Journalist James O’Keefe’s latest video should raise some alarm bells at CNN. The first part of the video released this afternoon purports to show a CNN staffer admitting, on camera, to supporting the network’s anti-Trump “propaganda” before bragging it was intended to "get Trump out of office."
The latest unsuspecting CNN employee caught by O’Keefe’s hidden cameras is Technical Director Charlie Chester. Veritas found the chatty staffer through the dating app, Tinder, where he listed CNN as his employer. Over a series of five dates, Chester brags to his off-camera date about working for the network and their overt agenda to boost Biden while hurting Trump.
In one scene, Chester talks about how the network “didn’t know anything” about Trump’s health but frequently reported the president was “neurologically damaged” anyway:
Yeah, I mean like Trump we did it, like when Trump was– I don’t know– like his hand was shaking? Or whatever I think. We brought in so many medical people to all tell a story that like, it was all speculation, that he was, like, neurologically damaged, that he was losing it. He was unfit to, you know, whatever. We were–we were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what–I think that’s propaganda, you know?
 
 
Right after this he adds, "We had nothing else to run with at the time. We were like, just taking shots off the bow, just hoping something would hit, you know?"
But as for President Biden, the network did the opposite, according to Chester. In another scene, his undercover date revealed she was "worried" for the president’s health. Chester admits the network tried to make him appear in excellent shape:
[S]howing him jogging was obviously deflection, of his age, and they’re trying to make it like, "Oh, I’m healthy." We would always show shots of him jogging and that "I’m healthy" you know, blah blah blah, and him in his aviator shades and you paint him as a young geriatric.
Later in the conversation he adds that he wouldn’t "mind" if Harris became president if anything happened to Biden but "I think we got him, through this term."
In another scene, Chester and fellow CNN employee Rachelle Hoffman, a graphics producer, defend the network’s choice to not focus on Biden tripping up the stairs of Air Force One a few weeks ago, while the obsession over Trump’s health was "nuanced."
Chester adds in a later scene that CNN’s "focus" was to "get Trump out of office" but now that Biden’s in office, they’re moving on from COVID to focus on climate change:
Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was right? So our next thing is going to be for climate change awareness. That’s our next pandemic-like story that we’ll beat to death….Fear sells.
You can watch the rest of the revealing comments in the video above.

Cher says Republicans are trying to "achieve the dream" of white supremacy with regard to Georgia’s new voting laws.

Georgia’s new state law requires voters to provide a driver’s license or state identification card when voting via absentee ballot. The new law also expands early voting for primary and general elections, adds additional security measures to ballot drop boxes, and changes early voting hours.

Democrats have largely been outspoken against the new law, insisting — without any evidence whatsoever — that the new law restricts voters’ rights.

What are the details?

On Saturday, Cher targeted Republican lawmakers for passing the new voting law and said that the law amounts to nothing less than "VOTER SUPPRESSION."

The entertainer has never shied away from using her social media platform to address what she feels are social and political injustices.

In a widely shared tweet condemning "immoral" Republican lawmakers, Cher wrote, "VOTER SUPPRESSION. 2 Words That Define Immoral Republican Pols. They Bring Jim Crow Back, Wrap Themselves In The [flag], & Have Gone 2 ‘Whites Only’ 2 [stop] BLK, ETHNIC, & POOR DEMS FROM VOTING & WINNING. IF THERE R NO DEMS 2 PROTECT [America], Gop WILL ACHIEVE THE DREAM THEY’VE [prayed] 4. ‘WHITE SUPREMACY.’"

She later doubled down on her insistence that the GOP is only interested in perpetuating the "mantra" of "white is right" after a follower responded, "This is terrible … terrible for [America] & its democracy. The right to vote shouldn’t come with barriers!!! Hope Dems can fight back."

In a mostly capitalized tweet, she later added, "THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY!! IT’S GOP’S MANTRA ‘WHITE IS RIGHT’ & ‘ONLY THE RIGHT PPL SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.’"

"Why aren’t Dems Quaking in Their Boots About The Browning of [America]," she demanded. "I’m Excited. We Are Better Together."

‘We Were Creating A Story — Our Focus Was To Get Trump Out’: CNN Director Busted By Undercover Veritas Operative

Gun control activist David Hogg announced this weekend that he had resigned from “Good Pillow,” a progressive pillow company launched just two months ago with his partner William LeGate to compete with MyPillow, “apparently before the company produced a single product.”

“Hogg claims to have divested himself of his Good Pillow shares, giving LeGate full ownership over the pillow company, in order to focus more intently on his education and his activism; operating a small business was, it seems, harder than Hogg expected and was getting in the way of more pressing endeavors,” reported the Daily Wire.

7: Effective immediately, I have resigned and released all shares, any ownership and any control of Good Pillow LLC. I want to thank Will for his partnership and wish him absolutely nothing but success with the future of Good Pillow.

— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) April 10, 2021

Hogg’s announcement was widely mocked on Twitter, with many pointing out his arrogance just two months ago when he first launched the company.

However, beyond the undeniable hilarity of capitalism claiming another progressive scalp, Hogg’s economic collapse demonstrated another bizarre feature of our society: the adulation of young adults as thought leaders while simultaneously using their status as “children” as a defense from any criticism.

He’s also a kid. You’re a grown man. you’re also a grown hypocrite asshole.

— Brian Moote (@MootePoints) April 11, 2021

The “just a child” defense is used by the Left every time one of their chosen “young heroes” comes under any form of criticism. Greta Thunberg, who oscillates between “thought leader” and “child” in the eyes of the Left, is another example.

There are only two rational and logical positions one can hold when it comes to young people — specifically children — in the arena of politics.

1. If someone enters the public arena voluntarily, then their age is insignificant, and their statements should be both respected and open for criticism.
2. Someone’s age should be a limiting factor regarding the legitimacy of their public statements, and we should therefore actively protect young people from entering the public sphere.

However, the Left intentionally use children while jumping back and forth between these positions as needed.

When a child or young person is willing — or apparently willing — to be used as a mouthpiece for a Leftist position, they are immediately promoted as a central voice on the issue. Gun control, climate, immigration. The complexity of these debates is diluted by the “childish wisdom” of the person in question. Their age is a source of strength, of legitimacy, of truth.

When that same child or young person inevitably says something worth criticizing — because they are speaking with authority on complex issues, often beyond their full understanding — their age is immediately leveraged as a reason why such criticism is not only unfounded, but maliciously unfounded. Criticism is rejected as being motivated by an alleged hatred of children, much in the same way as arguments are rejected by leveling accusations of racism or sexism.

The Left have to pick a lane. If they want to hand children the weapons of politics and push them into the field of battle, then they can’t be the ones screaming “think of the children” when the reality of political debate becomes apparent. 

Instead, if they care — as they claim — about the innocence of children, perhaps they should leave them alone?
