AMERICA'S LOOMING REVOLUTION - WATCH WALL STREET DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF BILLIONAIRES AND BAILOUTS

Add to this volatile mix the well organized and funded Antifa and BLM activists, who have been perfecting their violent tactics since the death of George Floyd.  Black-masked operators can be expected to infiltrate the protests to turn non-violent events into infernos.

 

Post-election 2020: Two studies say all hell to break loose

 

Two recent reports, when combined, paint a dark pathway for America in the coming weeks, a nation set on fire by multiple contentious court battles and widespread daily protests. 

The 79 Days Report, by the Claremont Institute and the Texas Policy Foundation, illuminates possible election legal battles on the horizon and how they might play out in the courts.  The bottom line?  The litigation will be time consuming and combative.  There’s no fast forward button to speed up the process.  It concludes:

  • On election night, the winner will not be known “due to millions of uncounted mail-in ballots in 6 battleground states.”
  • Given there’s no clear victor, “intense court fights” can be expected that could result “in a struggle right up to the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.  Uncertainty could extend even beyond this as decisions for both the presidency and vice presidency are battled out in Congress and before the U.S. Supreme Court.”

The second report, Hold the Line: A Guide to Defending Democracy, is a how-to manual for organizing massive protests, produced by a group of hard-left “researchers, organizers, and activists.”  The report encourages people to early assemble into clusters, to identify the “power holders” they want to “influence,” and then make plans on how to achieve their goals.  

The report calls for “large-scale protests,” if the Trump Administration and its allies prevent all votes from being counted, allows ballots to be tossed out, or fails to “remedy irregularities” in the voting.

The significance of the report lies in the level of preplanning and pre-targeting.  In 2016, most on the left believed Hillary Clinton would be victorious and were caught off guard when Donald Trump won instead.  Yet within hours, activists were able to organize protests in city centers, brandishing signs declaring Trump “Not My President.”

Every day thereafter, over the next several weeks, demonstrations were mounted in New York City, Boston, Los Angles, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. – all managed by Democrat mayors.

Now, four years later, you can be certain the left won’t be caught napping again on election night.  They’ve had months to prepare and are ready to do battle.  The many protests, riots, looting, and violent attacks the past six months are but a prelude to the coming main event. 

The kickoff is likely to be the U.S. Senate vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Don’t be surprised to see large-scale demonstrations against her confirmation, piggybacking on the recent Women’s March, as a means to influence still undecided voters.  The protests also have the advantage of pushing competing news stories to the sidelines, such as the Biden family corruption scandal.

Once the demonstrations begin, they will not end anytime soon, they will only become more inflamed, unless Joe Biden wins the election by a blowout, which few expect to happen. 

Given that the 79 Days Report is accurate, that many ballots will not be tabulated until days after the voting concludes, protestors will flood into city streets demanding all ballots are counted, while lawyers file suits to extend/block voting deadlines and accept/throw out ballots that appear from nowhere.

In 2000, the election was put on hold when George Bush won Florida by a narrow margin, triggering an automatic recount.  Lawyers battled in courtrooms for six weeks, until a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court finally ended the squabbling.

Jumping ahead to 2020, instead of one contested state election, there could be six or more, vastly multiplying the number of court cases. The most intense demonstrations are likely to occur in four of the swing states headed by Democrat governors, in an effort to sway legal rulings.

The Hold the Line report lays bare the leftist’s ground game.  Activists are locked and loaded. They will have pre-selected targets.  Instead of massing in large groups, as in 2016, they plan to disperse to multiple sites – possibly homes of elected officials and judges, political pols, the police, anyone they deem to be a “power holder.” 

Add to this volatile mix the well organized and funded Antifa and BLM activists, who have been perfecting their violent tactics since the death of George Floyd.  Black-masked operators can be expected to infiltrate the protests to turn non-violent events into infernos.

Based on the two reports, the cumulative impact?  In multiple cities, in multiple locations, there will be unprecedented demonstrations, many violent.  The police will likely be overwhelmed, unable to respond to the dispersed protests – or prevented from responding – fueling fear and chaos.

Every court decision creates a new rallying cry for the left…and maybe the right, too.  The longer it takes to resolve election disagreements, the more violence and chaos, metastasizing like a cancerous growth.  The more things that get out of hand, the more out of hand things might get. 

The Hold the Line report posits an election outcome that’s fraudulent, where all the votes are not counted and irregularities remedied.  Given this scenario, it calls for “another form of power to correct the balance,” an all-out revolution, in which large numbers of people participate in strikes, boycotts, protests, and other nonviolent actions,” until a democratic and accountable government is restored.”

In other words, they want to shut down society until President Trump is forced from office, not unlike the 28-Days of Resistance in Tunisia that toppled President El Abidine Ben Ali and the 25 January Revolution in Egypt that ousted President Hosni Mubarak. 

Such an event seems highly implausible.  But if Trump is reelected, no matter what happens, the left will claim the election was stolen, not unlike 2016, opening the curtain to four more years of protests and attacks on his presidency.

Exposing Liberals' 'Tiny Fraction' Lie

In a recent podcast, Michelle Obama, as she continues to shed her "no red state nor blue state America but just United States of America" skin to reveal a ruthless, myopic partisan looking to settle scores from fights unknown while making clear to those paying attention how America became so much more divided after the Obama presidency, complains that the opposition to the protesters is "once again patently false, morally wrong, and racist."  After all, she insists, the violence is committed by just a "tiny fraction" of the protesters.  This tiny fraction concept has become as virulent a propaganda tool as the selective edit.  Those incidents fortunate enough to be deemed a "tiny fraction" are isolated incidents, outliers that can neither be enlarged to represent any other larger group nor be enlarged to foreshadow a growing trend.  So when leftist groups advocating for causes that leftist leaders ardently support demonstrate, leaving destruction and mayhem in their wake, the left insulates itself from any responsibility by invoking the "tiny fraction" clause.

However, in those not so immortal words of Michelle Obama, the tiny fraction excuse is patently false, morally wrong, and even racist.  First of all, the assertion of a tiny fraction is an absurdity.  An estimated 570 riots were violent during the George Floyd protests, 19 people died during 14 days of those protests, and approximately 2 billion dollars of damage has accrued from all this peace.  The magnitude of damage from a tiny fraction strains credulity, especially given the opportunity for live viewing of so many of these riots, in which looters and harassers are clearly more than small fractions, while the other participants, if any, cheerlead with venomous gusto.  Furthermore, even if one accepts the assumption that big damage comes from tiny fractions, the groups involved still are far from blameless.  The destruction from and the culpability of the involved groups are not binary.  The damage incurred is on a continuum that ranges from verbal harassment to murder.  Imagine if one were a member of a group that commits any of these acts with such brazen pride; the individual averse to criminality would either strenuously demand that such actions be condemned and prohibited or stray far from such a group and disassociate absolutely.  Yet this is never done.  Even though the destruction is far worse than the destruction, in terms of lives and livelihoods, during protests than what is being protested, the left takes little interest in the destruction of that alleged tiny fraction, failing to investigate or extirpate.

There is no moral purity, not at an individual level or at a societal level.  Typically the presence of trace amounts of impurity fail to prevent societies and individuals from reaching extraordinary levels of inspiration and achievement.  If we punish members of society for failing to achieve perfection or societies for failing to eliminate all criminal behaviors, nobody will be safe from persecution.  The tiny fraction idea is therefore legitimate, but double standards are applied.  The same malicious double standard that is transforming our legal system into two tiers based on political affiliation is hard at work here with a willful refusal to accurately determine and report the size and scope of any illicit act.  The mindless propaganda that alchemizes the lawless lone wolf into menacing behemoths of right-wing hate somehow encompassing large, lawful, honorable segments of our population while metamorphosing unrestrained, unreflecting swelling masses of rage with tentacles reaching into upper echelons of leftist power into tiny fractions is a dangerous, divisive double standard.

Contrary to the Lewis Carroll misperceptions and machinations of the left, it is actually their grievances that are mostly if not all tiny fractions.  Considering the overall population or even the numbers of members of subgroups such as political conservatives, there are very few racially motivated police killers, white supremacists, right-wing militia groups, neo-Nazis, Russians on social media influencing the votes of Americans, and serial sexual assaulters. Furthermore, these fractions continue to shrink over time, and the ties to any larger discernible political group are challenging to find even if we allow six degrees of separation, which will likely reach Kevin Bacon before reaching any veritable Republican.

In contrast, the threats from the left are anything but tiny fractions.  The cancel culture is not a tiny fraction.  The radicalized faculty at the university is not a tiny fraction.  The indoctrination of socialist ideas and identity politics and white privilege in schools is not a tiny fraction.  The falsehoods and half-truths spread by the media are not a tiny fraction.  The high-tech crackdown on dissenting speech is not a tiny fraction.  The division created by falsely accusing and demonizing one part of the population while exaggerating the malice and damage to provoke the rage of another heavily indoctrinated, hyper-sensitized part of the population is not a tiny fraction.  And it is self-perpetuating, since the isolated outlier incident serves as the basis for rioting and the bottomless pit of grievance and recrimination, which in turn continue to be dismissed by adversaries as tiny fractions.

And so the cycle goes on endlessly, increasing in severity with each new cycle and enlarging the hairline cracks of division, growing so deeply and quickly that it may not be able to be halted, much less reversed, until the hairline cracks along gender and racial and class lines become a seismic fissure threatening to permanently tear the country asunder.

 

Only Voting Can Prevent the Left's Planned Coup

To all who are sentient and reasonable (a case can be made that Democrats, pollsters, and media are neither sentient nor reasonable), Trump is on track to handily win a second term.  Yet, though his victory grows more apparent with every passing day, Trump voters must guard against complacency and resist the urge to stay home to avoid the potential danger to both body and soul represented at the polls by COVID and Antifa.

Though his win may be veridical by the rules of the republic's constitutional electoral process, in today's "new normal," where the left has "chosen truth over facts," Trump needs to win by staggering proportions.  Half of America is not paying attention.  A landslide will be necessary to preclude accusations of electoral pilfering aided and abetted by "RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA."

Facts are immutable; something either is or is not.  That is a fact.  This is the reason the left has spent decades transmogrifying the meaning of "Truth" into something fungible.  Leftists have succeeded in personalizing "Truth" as commutable with something that may be, or it may not be.  In this new version, "Truth" can be anything, true or false, if it is felt strongly enough about, one way or the other.

Americans must treat this election as if nothing has changed in the electoral process and vote as if their lives depend upon it — because they do.  It does not matter to the left whether Trump wins by a hair or a heap; leftists have been dreaming of this coup since they apotheosized members of the antiwar movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Leftists have been dreaming of this coup for a long while, but until recently, they chose to pursue their revolution in a manner more in keeping with rules.  With Barack Obama's ironic descent from the heavens to ascend to the presidency, they were convinced they had succeeded.

Then, that bastard Trump took it from them.  He not only stole the presidency, but also stole their truth.  They will never allow him to do so again.

While Antifa, in America, has been around since the turn of the century (burning cars and breaking windows as anti-globalists in the Battle of Seattle of 1999), it was not long ago that these people were cutting plastic drums in half to make shields while wearing Halloween-like Navy SEAL costumes with improvised masks to look tough.  Well, this is not that Antifa.

This iteration has been trained — at least to an extent.  When all is said and done, and their emergence as the official Democratic Party Paramilitary is properly investigated and dissected, it will be discovered that the money used to take them to the next level came from Soros and his ilk.  That is why they fund no-bail legislation and the campaigns of non-prosecution D.A.s.  These pols and policies are force-multipliers.

They now dress in blackout and have better kits with actual shields, advanced communications equipment, expensive gas masks, and weapons.  The weapons can be as sophisticated as collapsible batons, handguns, and carbines, or as simple as sticks and stones to break bones, along with bats, frozen water bottles, bricks, and a particular favorite: the skateboard.  Light and flat on one side with wheels protruding on the other, it can be swung to connect with either side.  A skateboard to the occiput of an unaware target can wreak havoc on his desire to oppose.  It is great against windows as well.

They now operate in units with defined tactics.  You never see an Antifa looting a store; they break the window and encourage others to do the looting.  Watch them commit arson, whether it be a police vehicle or a building.  It is a tactical operation.  The targets are chosen in advance, although they strive mightily to make it look spontaneous.

They have a system.  The leader remains at a distance as control and overwatch, communicating instructions to team members through his headset.  Another incites the crowd.  Then another comes in with the skateboard and breaks the window.  The inciter redoubles his exhortations, often, at this point, joined by a partner.  As the fomented crowd starts to become riotous, yet another Antifa emerges with a Molotov cocktail, which is thrown through the broken window.  As the target is engulfed in flames, the team melts back into the crowd, acting as perfect strangers to each other.

These Antifa, along with the violent sections of BLM, will be at the polls on Election Day.  They will leave the uniform behind so they can both suppress the Trump vote while concomitantly posing as ever elusive "white supremacists" suppressing the BLAME (Black, Latinx, Antifascist, Minority, and Excluded) vote.

After the polls close, they will conduct a mass mobilization in the streets to prevent Trump from declaring victory and to prosecute "will of the people" riots as a supposed organic reaction to Trump having stolen the election under the auspices of Vladimir Putin and white supremacists.  Their ululations of "COUP" will be shrill and frequent — projection lives loudly within the left.

Their deployment will be open-ended as Twitter and Facebook shut down all opposition on their platforms and Google tweaks algorithms to give only results approved by the rebellion.

These riots will be different from the ones we have seen these past months.  Those were practice.  Back in uniform, they will take and hold positions of importance: high-traffic or economically important intersections, bridges, tunnels, strategic buildings housing law enforcement or federal agencies, and high-profile locations. They will dare the authorities to evict them and then wait for the violence they and minions in the media will blame on Trump's refusal to accept the will of the people.

Whereas violence and destruction were the aim of this spring's operations, the new goal will be inconvenience and economic disruption.  They will make everyone suffer until they get what they want, especially those who might try to prevent them from seizing power.  It will be a campaign of nonviolent terror.

The goal is to shut down America and terrorize those who can help the left into giving it what it wants, which, for now, is a Biden presidency.

This is an existential election.  The only thing standing between the America we love and the socialist dictatorship the left pines for is a Trump presidency.

Americans must give Donald Trump a landslide victory on November 3.  The support for the president is ubiquitous.  At this time in our history, with this much at stake for the country we love, there is no excuse for anyone not to vote.

Citizens must also be willing to get out and confront the left at the polls and in the country's cities and towns during the days, weeks, and months after the election.  Americans must protect the nation's streets. Citizens must mobilize to protect politicians, judges, and anyone else threatened with Antifa terror.

Patriots are better armed and greater in number.  The only way the left triumphs with its coup is for good men to do nothing.

Harris Tells Blacks to Vote for Biden Despite Her and His Record of Incarcerating Minorities

CLEVELAND, OH - OCTOBER 24: Democratic Vice President nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) speaks to a small crowd outside of Cuyahoga Community College on October 24, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Democrat vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris spoke in Georgia on Friday in an effort to court the black vote despite her record as a prosecutor in California and presidential candidate Joe Biden’s role in the a 1994 crime bill, both backgrounds that have led to the incarceration of minorities.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on questions Harris is facing about her record:

The query came from music mogul Jermaine Dupri, who asked what she tells those worried about her background as a prosecutor who “put a lot of Black brothers away in your past.” Making her first visit to Atlanta since joining the Democratic ticket, Harris answered with an extended monologue aimed squarely at President Donald Trump’s attempts to woo black men.

Trump, she said, pushed “the theme that the first black man to be president of the United States was illegitimately there.” And, she continued, he “has referred to black women by words I will not repeat here — and I’m not talking about myself.”

“Yes, I was a prosecutor,” Harris said to Dupri during a roundtable discussion. “I decided to go in a system that I knew was flawed to reform it. Yes, I decided to go up the rough side of the mountain, as we say in church. And I didn’t fix the entire system.”

Harris in her remarks also repeated the false narrative Trump has not denounced white supremacy.

“Donald Trump, who in the last debate, stood on the debate stage and refused to condemn white supremacists,” Harris said.

As Breitbart News has reported, Trump has repeatedly denounced white supremacists and his administration has, in fact, prosecuted extremists during his tenure as president.

Newsweek reported on the record prosecutions of white supremacists under Trump:

Sixty-four white supremacists have been sentenced to a combined total of 820 years’ imprisonment in what is believed to be the largest collective prosecution of white supremacists in the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas.

“Not only do white supremacist gangs endorse repugnant ideologies, they also facilitate a violent drug and gun trade, putting our citizens in grave danger,” U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox said in a press release. “We were alarmed – but not necessarily surprised – at the quantities of drugs and firearms recovered during this investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to dismantle these organizations, disrupt their criminal activities, and put their members behind bars.”

Harris said Trump doesn’t care about blacks based on his response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“The people of Georgia deserve to have a president who sees them, who cares about them,” Harris said. “Georgia has been so hard hit by the pandemic.”

“Democrats hope Harris, the first woman of color on a major party’s presidential ticket, will energize black voters who form the backbone of the state’s Democratic Party,” AJC reported.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Harris’ time as a prosecutor:

Starting in the late 1960s, one lurid murder after another fed public perceptions that crime in California was spiraling out of control. Gang shootings turned neighborhoods into combat zones. The crack epidemic ravaged communities.

Fear and outrage spawned a raft of harsh sentencing laws. California enacted one of its most punitive, “three strikes and you’re out,” after one parolee killed 18-year-old Kimber Reynolds of Fresno in 1992 and another kidnapped and killed 12-year-old Polly Klaas of Sonoma County a year later.

The laws strengthening criminal penalties drove a surge in the state’s prison population over 30 years, beginning in the 1970s. Under both Republicans and Democrats — including Kamala Harris, who became a prosecutor in 1990 — a tough-on-crime political culture flourished in California, and African Americans were hit hardest: Their incarceration rate remains more than five times their share of California’s population.

KAMALA HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN   -  TWO MORE CONJOBS WHO HAVE ONLY SERVED THE RICH AND GOT RICH DOING SO!

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) praised the “brilliance” of the Black Lives Matter movement and its founders in a conversation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on Friday.

Biden-Harris overtures to radical left only help President Trump

 

By Ted Harvey

With Election Day only weeks away, the Biden-Harris ticket is ramping up the identity politics.  The way they see it, President Trump is the hate-inciting racist, and the Democrats are swooping in to save the day.

This was on full display in last night's debate.  Not only did Joe Biden call President Trump a "racist," which is unprecedented for presidential politics, but he also railed on and on about "systemic injustice" without providing examples.  At the same time, Biden remained reluctant to denounce the left-wing violence lighting America's cities on fire, struggling to even say the words "law and order."

Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), is even more blunt.  She recently accused President Trump of "sowing hate and division in our country" (again, without providing examples) while vowing to "speak about systemic racism."  She also promised to incorporate "Black Lives Matter" (BLM) messaging into the Biden campaign.

To her credit, Harris is at least walking the race-baiter's walk: she has supported the bailouts of Minnesota rioters and looters, essentially emboldening violent criminals to continue wreaking havoc on their communities.  The California senator endorsed the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), which prides itself on bailing out those violent criminals in the name of social justice.  In recent months, MFF financially supported Darnika Floyd, who was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly stabbing a friend to death, and Christopher Boswell, who is facing charges of sexual assault and kidnapping.  The group put up $100,000 on Floyd's behalf and $350,000 for Boswell, funded in part by Biden staffers.

Digging an even deeper hole for herself, Harris met with Jacob Blake's family in Wisconsin, claiming to be "proud" of Blake.  Remember: this is the same Jacob Blake who had a warrant out for his arrest for violating a restraining order due to an alleged sexual assault.  (Apparently, "Black Lives Matter" propaganda trumps the #MeToo movement in 2020.)  It is also the same Jacob Blake who resisted arrest and reached for a knife in his car before being shot by police.

Nevertheless, race-baiters like Harris won't let facts get in the way of identity politics.  When two Los Angeles police officers were ambushed and shot in her home state, she was nowhere to be found.

On the other side, President Trump has denounced race-related violence since day one, urging Americans to protest peacefully.  The Trump administration does not waffle when the radical left is clearly the villain, and law-abiding citizens are the clear victims.  President Trump recently designated Antifa a terrorist organization, along with the Ku Klux Klan.  In last night's debate, when asked to condemn white supremacy, President Trump responded unequivocally: "Sure, I'm willing to do that.  I'm willing to do anything.  I want to see peace."

The American people understand that — which bodes well for Republicans in 2020.  According to a recent poll, most likely voters described the recent violence in America's largest cities as riots, not protests.  At the same time, BLM's approval rating continues to dip, as their intentions and tactics become clearer and clearer. 

Americans aren't stupid: when they see a small business being looted or a neighborhood going up in flames, they don't consider it a "peaceful protest."

Biden and Harris may play the race card, but most Americans can call a spade a spade.  And so can President Trump, whose re-election chances improve each and every time his opponents enable the radical left.

Ted Harvey serves as chairman of the Committee to Defend the President.

 

 

Kamala Harris Praises ‘Brilliance’ of Black Lives Matter and Its Marxist Founders

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) praised the “brilliance” of the Black Lives Matter movement and its founders in a conversation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on Friday.

Harris, who is Joe Biden’s running mate on the Democratic Party presidential ticket, was asked specifically to respond to claims that Black Lives Matter is a “terrorist” organization, which the interviewer attributed to President Donald Trump.

(Trump has referred to “terrorists” in specific demonstrations, but has not called the movement itself a terrorist organization. His new black empowement policy, released on Friday, names the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations.)

She was also asked about the founders of the movement, who were recently featured by Time magazine among the 100 most influential people of 2020.

Harris spoke about the “brilliance and the impact of Black Lives Matter,” and the “brilliance” of its founders “in conceiving it,” and explained:

I actually believe as a former prosecutor, that Black Lives Matter has been the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system. Because it has been a counter force to the force within the system that is so grounded in status quo and in its own traditions, many of which have been harmful, and have been discriminatory in the way they’ve been enforced.

Harris spoke about her own experience attending a Black Lives Matter protest in May in Washington, DC. Harris joined demonstrators outside the White House on May 30, where activists had attacked police officers and journalists hours before. She explained that she grew up attending anti-apartheid protests with her parents, who met in the civil rights movement.

She added:

Nothing that we have achieved in our country that has been about progress, in particular around civil rights, has come without a fight. And so I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of evolution in our country, as an essential component, or mark, of a real democracy, and as necessary, as necessary. The people’s voices must be heard. And it is often the people who must speak to get their government to do what it is supposed to do, but may not do naturally, unless the people speak loudly — and obviously peacefully — but speak loudly.

The founders of Black Lives Matter — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — are far left-wing radicals. Cullors has identified herself and Garza as “trained Marxists,” and Opal Tometi is a supporter of Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro.

Proof positive Kamala Harris is a lying phony

 

By Thomas Lifson

Even in a profession known for phoniness, Kamala Harris stands out as remarkably fake.  We expect politicians to lie — "what a beautiful baby!" — but we also expect them to be reasonably skilled at it.  Being unable to convincingly name a favorite thing takes a lot of experience in counterfeiting feelings.

Yet, yesterday, in the softest of softball interviews on CNN, where she was asked about her various "favorites" — roast chicken is her "go-to" dish to cook (as if she spends a lot of time in time kitchen wearing an apron that says "kiss the cook") — she stumbled and revealed that she only pretends to listen to rap music.

Of course, liking rap music is believed to be essential to forge an identity as somehow African-American when none of her ancestors ever lived in the United States.  The closest her lineage comes to the experience of slavery is as slave-owners, according to her Jamaican father.  Joe Biden's handlers chose her as his running mate only because her darkish skin tone was supposed to fool blacks into thinking she is one of them and feels the pain of slavery that lies a century and a half in the past.

Watch below as very friendly CNN interviewer Angela Rye asks her to name "the best rapper alive."

She answers, "Tupac" and gives that slightly hysterical laugh she uses all the time.

Rye screws up her face and seems genuinely taken aback, saying emphatically, "He's not alive!"

After a couple of seconds, anticipating a dodge, she adds, "You say he lives on..."

And then, perhaps realizing that she may have just revealed the awful truth about the bogus blackness, hastens to add, "Listen, West Coast girls think Tupac lives on."

Tupac Shakur was killed almost a quarter-century ago.  Even stuffy old white guys like me know that he is dead, dead, dead.

I think the Trump campaign needs to paint Harris as both the real presidential candidate and as a transparent phony.  Video ads showing her completely phony masquerade here can help turn young black males in particular against her.

 

BLACKS MAKE UP ONLY 8% OF THE POPULATION OF CORRUPT LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS' CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO WHERE SHE WAS DISTRICT ATTORNEY. BLACK IN S.F. PERPETRATE 40% OF THE CRIME TIDAL WAVE.

 He was waiting in line for a hamburger in McDonald’s just a few blocks from the White House when a large group of fellas and lovely ladies started taunting him about Black Lives Matter. Outside, a few minutes later, they beat him within an inch of his life -- all on high tech video.

One way or another, sooner or later, Judge Barrett’s family will learn the real threat to their safety in their new hometown of Washington, D.C. is not white racism but black violence: How black crime is so wildly out of proportion and how so many reporters and public officials -- and federal judges -- are in denial, deceit, and delusion about it.

Coming soon, food desert: BLM shakes down Seattle Trader Joe's for a 15% cut

By Monica Showalter

Grocery retailer Trader Joe's, which refused to cave in to political correctness in its product names, is experiencing new problems with Black Lives Matter protestors in Seattle, according to Breitbart News:

Black Lives Matter protesters pushed their way into a Seattle Trader Joe’s demanding the company give “15 percent at least.” The group has repeated the tactic of harassing the store’s staff and customers over the past few months.

A video tweeted Thursday night shows a large group of BLM activists entering a Seattle Trader Joe’s store. They chanted and beat drums as they marched through the grocery chain location.

Seattle has five Trader Joe's locations and Breitbart reports that three of them have been hit in this way. It shows that Trader Joe's, which resisted the demands, remains a target, based on Seattle's failure to send police to protect them.

 

This is exactly how mafia works. Either you pay us something - il “pizzo” it’s called in Italian - or we burn down the place at least. This can happen when the State is absent, that’s why defunding the police in crucial in every mafia system.

— Dadah Umpah (@UmpahDadah) October 23, 2020

 

No business of any kind can run a business with this kind of shakedown activity going on. The company is being held hostage to pirates, while the city stands by and does nothing.

As anyone familiar with hostage-takers knows, if Trader Joe's caves on the 15% ransom demand, the next move will be a bigger ransom demand, all in the name of keeping the peace, and BLM, which is obviously descending into a money-making mafia racket, can move on to the next target, taking them down one by one. The big corporate shakedowns of the past month, which have yielded millions of dollars in revenue, it seems, have not been enough. They want more. Trader Joe's is one of the few that resist, which makes it the holy grail for shakedown fanatics.

In Seattle, Trader Joe's has in fact resisted on related matters, and not just in the package labeling. According to the Seattle Spectator, the company has been hit by march-in protests in early October over its refusal to permit employees to wear BLM gear on the job, plus boycotts to boot. The Trader Joe's near the CHOP zone this past summer did shut its doors indefinitely, not just because of the chaos and disorder of CHOP, but also because of the wokesterism of many employees. Who'd want to do business with those kinds of employees in permanent opposition? They relented when 22,000 customers signed a petition asking them to stay. 

But don't bet on them staying so long as the shakedowns are now a thing from BLM now that the riot thing has grown old, and some leftists have noted that it's hurting Joe Biden's bid to oust President Trump.Shakedowns are a horrid reality in places like Sicily, Latin America, Russia, and any place where people flee.

We see this way of doing business all over Latin America, for one.

To take one example, just because I am familiar with it, FARC's Marxist narcoterrorists, who once terrorized Colombia and now Venezuela, also conduct business by shaking down business with no police protection as the police are occupied with arresting political prisoners.

The local shop owners and farmers in small towns were forced to pay what was known as "a vaccination" to the terrorists to ensure that their businesses didn't go up in flames, prompting vast numbers of them to just shut their doors. The example is not that farfetched for what's going on in Seattle, either.

BLM of course, is led by "trained Marxists" who just happened to have learned their tactics at Hugo Chavez's knee. Here's a piece I did on their pilgrimages to Caracas, where these kinds of shakedowns are what goes on in that hellhole. And don't think the Chavista agenda they embrace isn't to harm the entire U.S. Here's one I wrote from 2019. And Venezuelans have noticed the similarities.

Now their successors in the U.S. turning Seattle into a hellhole, too, complete with Venezuela-style shakedowns. 

Seattle is getting pretty comparable to Caracas without police to enforce rule of law, but Trader Joe's is no battered Venezuelan storefront shop. They're a huge national private corporation whose structure protects them from activist shareholders stirring up the pot and calling for woke acts, and they have always put the interests of their customers first. Instead of pay the danegeld, they're in a position to walk out.

They've shown backbone in standing up to rioters, and who knows how many shakedowns they have fended off. But if it gets bad -- and Breitbart notes that three stores in Seattle have been targeted, they may well decide that the cost of doing business outweighs the benefits and pull out of the city. 

By then, the city may become a food desert. Self-inflicted, of course, based on the majority's voting choices.

 

Amy Coney Barrett has some ‘splainin’ to do on white racism

By Colin Flaherty

Amy Coney Barrett has some ‘splainin’ to do. 

Last week, Judge Barrett said the death of George Floyd from “racist” police was “very personal” to her. 

She worried that someday her adopted black children -- and grandchildren -- might suffer the same kind of “brutality.”

She even told the national audience turned in to her Supreme Court confirmation hearing that her family cried about all the violence white racism could wreak upon them.

One way or another, sooner or later, Judge Barrett’s family will learn the real threat to their safety in their new hometown of Washington, D.C. is not white racism but black violence: How black crime is so wildly out of proportion and how so many reporters and public officials -- and federal judges -- are in denial, deceit, and delusion about it.

What then?

How is Judge Barrett going to let her children know about all the Metros they cannot ride, all the schools they cannot attend, all the parts of town -- black neighborhoods -- they must not visit because white people are just not safe there?

So many examples. So few tears shed for the victims of black crime.

How about the white kids visiting D.C. on a college inspection tour?

From the moment they stepped on the campus of Howard University -- America’s most notorious black college -- they were threatened, assaulted, and robbed. Then run out of the cafeteria and off the college grounds because they were white, and one was wearing a Trump hat.

The school paper opined about how proud they were of the Howard students for protecting their school. Soon after the school president tweeted in agreement.

Judge Barrett should know the students and staff of Howard are equally hostile to white neighbors who want to stroll through their campus on a Sunday afternoon. 

They mutter something about black sacred ground and how they cannot let white people desecrate it. All that was A-Okay with the Washington Post.

Who is going to tell the judge and her family to beware?

How about the Marine so heroic that a statue of him rescuing a comrade under fire in Iraq greets every new recruit in Parris Island and Camp Pendleton?

He was waiting in line for a hamburger in McDonald’s just a few blocks from the White House when a large group of fellas and lovely ladies started taunting him about Black Lives Matter. Outside, a few minutes later, they beat him within an inch of his life -- all on high tech video.

When the Washington Post got around to reporting the story weeks later, dozens and dozens of Post readers said the Marine must have said something racist to them. After all, black people  do not just go around attacking white people for no reason whatsoever.

But that is exactly what happened there -- and it is hardly an isolated event.

Two years ago, during the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse reminded us that not all racial bias and violence is accompanied by signs and slogans. Prosecutors and judges use patterns to establish bias all the time in American courts, he said.

Judge Barrett better learn to recognize that pattern real quick. Pro tip: 85 percent to 95 percent of inter-racial crime and violence in America is black on white. Seventy-five percent of mass shooters are black. Black on white rape outnumbers white on black by a factor of 10,000 to one.

Violent crime in D.C. is a black thing.

How about all the black violence against commuters on the D.C. Metro? My favorite example is when a group of black people almost killed the husband of an NPR executive while his wife waited to greet him at the station.

That story never made it to NPR. But every hour of every day NPR reminds of us relentless black victimization, relentless white racism, all the time, everywhere that explains everything.

They call that Critical Race Theory.

And how many Capitol Hill staffers and media member have decided their adopted town is safe, only to find out the hard way -- often too late -- about their fatal misjudgment?

Maybe Judge Barrett lives in a legal bubble where solutions to violent crime are straightforward: Go to jail.

That’s not how they roll in D.C., where black crime is excused as a reaction to white racism. And if the perpetrator is really a victim of white racism, then they really don’t have any business in jail, do they?

A now-famous law professor at Georgetown University said just that in an opinion piece he wrote for the Post. He said if black jurors felt the black defendant was a victim of racism, they should not convict him.

And oh yeah, all black people are victims of white racism. That is why crime is the new black entitlement.

The city named an entire park to enshrine this fairy tale of black victimization and white racism: Black Lives Matter Plaza, right in front of the White House.

Judge Barrett might want to look up the Washington Post story about how the city council decided it was not really fair to keep violent black teenagers behind bars. So they let them out, creating a crime wave with more than 100 murders.

When do we tell the children that their mom’s predecessor, Notorious RBG, was also a victim of black violence in Georgetown? As was John Kerry’s wife.

This is a very long list of black crime, violence, murder  and denial in Washington D.C. on hiking and biking trails, restaurants, parks, homes, stores, restaurants, schools… you name it.

All wildly out of proportion. All ignored by Judge Barrett as she focuses on the minuscule percentage of white cop on black violence and ignores the tsunami of victims of black violence.

We call that the Greatest Lie of our Generation. And it is troubling to see how eagerly Judge Barrett has swallowed it hook, line and dangerously delusional sinker.
