Disgusting Double Standards - When They Go High, We Go Low!!
By Ramblin' Rose
When the only theme from MSM is the futile and misdirected efforts of our duly elected President Trump in 2016 and 2020, the news of the day has little appeal. It's sad that the Left has yet to recognize that Trump won in 2016, much less in 2020. (Yes, we continue to trust that Truth will prevail in the saga of the 2020 stolen election, as affirmed by up to 36% of Democrats as well as some 80% of the Republicans.) Tonight, I stumbled across an article from the Western Journal about President Obama challenging the signatures of his potential opponents, I was temporarily stunned.
The Left, in general, claims that they take the high road against the attacks from the Right. Wrong, they eat their own if it means that they can advance their own political (and financial) aspirations. They do NOT take the high road: they plow through.
While tonight's source came from the more conservative source, they referred to a definitely more liberal source - Chicago media. They noted: 'A Chicago Tribune article published in April 2007 tells the unflattering truth. Tribune reporters David Jackson and Ray Long wrote that rather than winning the race 'by leveling the playing field,' Obama won 'by clearing it.'
That is the community activist that we know all too well. (He has written three books about his own attributes and achievements that some critics call 'pure fiction.') In the trip down memory lane, we are reminded of the shenanigans that Barak employed against his own in Chicago in his race for Congress.
When Rep. Mel Reynolds was convicted of sex crimes, a special election was to be held to fit his congressional seat - a seat that Illinois state senator Alice Palmer wanted to fill. She told the reporters that Obama had asked her if she would consider filing for her own senate seat as a fallback option. She indicated to Obama that that was not her intention.
Jackson and Long confirmed the conversation between Palmer and Obama.
While Palmer lost her bid for the seat, she opted to enter the primary election. She met the December 18 deadline for petitions to place her name on the ballot, as did several other candidates. Obama indicated to Jackson and Long that he was disappointed with Palmer's action, contradictory to their understanding the previous summer, according to President Obama.
After Obama operatives filed on January 2, 1995, with the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, they began the laborious process of challenging the signatures. 'And they kept challenging petitions until every one of Obama's four Democratic primary rivals was forced off the ballot.'
While nothing that President Obama did was illegal, he was able to eliminate all his opposition to the primary. He used the system.
Now, the Left criticizes President Trump for utilizing the legal options that he must examine the legality of the votes in numerous states.
President Obama protects only himself. President Trump places the American people first. God protect President Trump and our county.
May it be our sovereign prayer that President Trump and his team (our team) have the opportunity to examine the validity of the election for the President of the United States of America - one nation under God.
God bless America - and President Trump - an imperfect man who is perfect for the job.

Politico's Parler prevarication
This Politico article is long on chutzpah and short on verifiable facts. The article opens by saying "Since the election, President Donald Trump and his allies have faced fact-checks, condemnation and restrictions when trying to spread inconclusive evidence of voter fraud and leftist violence on social media."
These 'fact-checks' aren't credible. Usually, the 'fact-checkers' are media outlets like CNN and MSDNC. These media outlets spent the past 3+ years interviewing people like Carl 'Worse than Watergate' Bernstein, Michael Avenatti and John 'The walls are closing in' Brennan. During the impeachment hearings, we heard the night before that the next day's witness would provide "bombshell testimony." After the opening statement from each witness, a Republican would cross-examine the witness. In no time flat, the bombshell testimony would be utterly discredited. This was my favorite cross-examination:
[Video no longer available]
But I digress. The article continues with this:
But over on Parler, there's a new, millions-strong MAGA universe where conservatives are freely spreading these claims and reinforcing their belief that Democrats have stolen the election from Trump.
Hashtags on Parler denoting Trump's favorite conspiracy theories - #Dominion, #Sharpiegate, #QAnon - trend freely, without the restrictions Twitter and Facebook have instituted to suppress them. Stories from fringe sites pushing baseless allegations of voter fraud are not flagged as disinformation, as they often are elsewhere. Videos from the Million MAGA March depicting heated confrontations between MAGA supporters, counterprotesters and D.C. police are shared as evidence of rampant antifa violence, omitting necessary context that would show otherwise.
I just looked at the trending hashtags on Parler. "#Dominion, #Sharpiegate and #QAnon" aren't trending. Politico is doing today what other Democrats did during impeachment. Politico is demolishing their credibility with this BS. Trusting CNN and MSDNC as fact-checkers is foolishness on steroids. Portraying President Trump's MAGA followers on Parler as conspiracy theory enthusiasts is outright dishonesty. It doesn't have anything to do with the truth. This is my other favorite cross-examination of an impeachment witness:
[Video no longer available]
From later in the Politico article:
"It's fitting that it offers disaffected Trump supporters the allure of the safest of safe spaces," said Angelo Carusone, the president of the progressive-leaning group Media Matters, which monitors far-right media across platforms. "It's perfect because Parler provides a place free from constraint and heavily stocked-up on like-minded [MAGA] heads."
Politico didn't hesitate in using a Media Matters quote in their article to bolster their quote. That's breathtakingly stupid. That quote further distracts from the Democrats' article.
Conservatives left Twitter, myself included, because Twitter didn't hesitate to censor conservatives. The tipping point came when Twitter locked the NYPost's account over their Hunter Biden article .

Disinformation and Deceit
Disinformation and Deceit
By Ramblin' Rose
Ignorance is not bliss! Disinformation ("false information with the intention to deceive public opinion") is deceit. American voters are not ignorant, but the MSM, aka legacy media, treated them like 'irredeemable deplorables, rubes and chumps.'
The Media Research Center (MRC) released the findings of an explosive study just three weeks after the November 3rd election. Their findings indicate a complete reversal of the claims of the legacy media following the shocking tallies of November 4th. The subversion of just three Biden scandals and five stories from the lengthy list of Trump achievements altered the outcome of the election.
MRC President Brent Bozell provided his interpretation of the data. 'The national news media stole this election, as far as I'm concerned, they deliberately stole it from President Trump.'
The poll was conducted in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin among 1750 Biden voters. An unbelievable 82% of them were unaware of at least one of the stories; some had not heard of any of them. 17% of them would not have voted for Biden had they known of the scandal vs. the accomplishments.
If the voting machines, dumped fake ballots, ballot harvesting, destroyed Trump ballots, etc. did not steal this election, the more than 90% negative stories about President Trump, the censorship by Big Tech, and the coverup of three Biden scandals and five outstanding achievements by President Trump certainly did.
This graphic would have been the reality of the vote IF the electorate had not been kept in the dark. President Trump would have been the undisputed winner. Many Biden followers were duped. We all will suffer from their ignorance. I repeat: Ignorance is not bliss.
Biden predicted the 'winter of darkness' during the second presidential debate. Did he know the impact that the disinformation would have on the destruction of our president and our nation? He did admit to the most extensive voter fraud scheme in history:

Election's over. Fascism remains, only a different flavor. Time to keep Biden's feet to the fire.
Progressives hope to do so. Trumpists need to cease whining about the election and face how they handle the future. Trump has pardons a-plenty, but by January 20, he's got to be packed to exit.
Taking the Andrew Jackson accoutrements with him at a guess. They were glaringly awful.
True to the imaging Trump was a Jacksonian figure, except serving the will of the national bank, the Fed, instead of disbanding it as Jackson did.
It will be warmed over Obama, which was warmed over Bush, elder and son, with different faces and different names on the paychecks.
We lose, but to those who voted Biden, we lose less with four for Joe, than we'd have lost on another four for Trump-Pence.
As to 2024 betting, GOP side, my money's on Pompeo, not Pence. No other faces suggest themselves, but other readers making an early guess would prove interesting, likely presenting something of a spectrum. Romney?
Biden: Let's return to the bad old days
Instead of maintaining the Trump foreign policy, Joe Biden essentially said that the US is heading back to the bad old days of the Obama administration . The Trump administration's foreign policy was known for standing up to ISIS, China, Iran and North Korea.
NoKo hasn't tested a nuclear device in 3 years. Further, they haven't fired an ICBM in 3.5 years. Trump stood up to China while negotiating a bilateral trade policy with them. He imposed tariffs on China to let them know he wasn't fooling around. The trade deal reflects President Trump's America First priorities. Unfortunately, Biden plans on changing that to an internationalist, America leads-from-behind position.
In his presentation yesterday, Biden said "It's a team that reflects that America is back. Ready to lead the world, not retreat from it. They embody my core beliefs that America is strongest when it works with its allies. Collectively, this team has secured some of the most defining national security and diplomatic achievements in recent memory - made possible through decades of experience working with our partners."
That's what pacifist gibberish sounds like. When he said "this team has secured some of the most defining national security and diplomatic achievements in recent memory", what he's referring to is that John Kerry embarrassed the USA while negotiating the JCPOA and the Paris Climate Accord. Compare those 'accomplishments' with President Trump, Secretary Pompeo and Jared Kushner negotiating normalization agreements between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain and Sudan.
Let's not forget that ISIS started on Biden's and Kerry's watch because they pulled out of Iraq too soon. Further, Russia invaded Crimea on Biden's and Kerry's watch, too.
[Video no longer available]
The world has changed since Biden last held office. Almost 75,000,000 voters expect politicians and diplomats to make smart decisions. Biden, Blinken and Kerry have gotten most things wrong during their careers. The question now is whether voters will hold Biden accountable for his routinely foolish decisions. As Robert Gates once said in his book, Biden has been wrong about every major foreign policy issue over the past 40+ years. Unfortunately, I don't expect that to change, mostly because he hasn't noticed that he's made any mistakes.

While agreeing that the Obama years were not great shakes, we see that fact from different perspectives. Returning there would be like a Reagan restoration.
Response 1.1 by Gary Gross at 29-Nov-20 03:57 AM
It would be like a Reagan restoration except for the fact that Reagan was successful. Obama would've been a total failure if not for killing bin Laden. Under Obama, wages stagnated, America apologized, got into stupid wars (Libya) and toppled friendly dictatorships (Egypt) without a plan, negotiated a faux peace deal with the largest state sponsor of terrorism & alienated Israel.
Under Reagan, we decreased our reliance on Middle East oil, took down the former Soviet Union & experienced 5+% growth for 6 straight quarters while stabilizing the dollar.
Out-of-touch Obama
How out-of-touch is Barack Obama? Juan Williams' puff piece shows that Obama's narcissism knows no boundaries. In the article, Williams quotes Obama as saying "I would not have expected someone who has complete disdain for ordinary people to be able to get attention and then the following from those very same people" about Donald Trump.
That's proof that Obama hasn't figured the American blue collar worker out. That's why they elected President Trump. President Trump doesn't disdain blue collar people. He didn't just put in place that helped their families. President Trump put in place policies that started restoring their entire communities. Many of these communities were decimated by President Obama's policies. Today, with Biden promising to return to President Obama's environmental policies, these communities' prosperity hangs in the balance.
He drew a picture of the current political landscape in which "issues, facts, policies per se don't matter as much as identity and wanting to beat the other guy : The current media environment adds to that greatly. This democracy doesn't work if we don't have an informed citizenry."
In the Atlantic interview, he said with alarm, far-fetched conspiracy theories are circulated until some people 'genuinely believe the Democratic Party is a front for a pedophile ring." The power of right-wing media to distort reality "is the single biggest threat to our democracy," Obama added.
Wow ! If the Epsteins and Weinsteins fit, if their enablers look the other way, then you must admit that Democrats are perverts or enablers.

Barack Obama is a total jackass, especially for a former president. He's always thought that he's the nation's moral arbiter. That's why the nation rejected Obamaism in 2016.

Kim Strassel's corruption stories
Kim Strassel's weekly column highlights the corruption in DC. Specifically, it highlights how corrupt the FBI is, how corrupt the corporate media is and how corrupt Judge Emmitt Sullivan is. Throughout the Trump administration, the FBI has been highlighted as having a corrupted upper echelon. (Notice that I used the singular, not plural, version of the word. It's important.)
Jim Comey, Andy McCabe and Peter Strzok were particularly corrupt throughout the Flynn fiasco. As Ms. Strassel wrote, the "Flynn pardon was necessary - to correct a corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation, a rogue special counsel, an unprincipled federal judge, and an embarrassingly complicit media." She continued, saying "Mr. Flynn advised the Trump campaign and in November 2016 was named national security adviser. The FBI had spent months monitoring him as part of its Russia-collusion fantasy, yet by Jan. 4, 2017, it had found nothing and moved to close its case. In rushed Peter Strzok - the now-disgraced then-FBI agent - to keep the investigation open. The FBI had snooped on a Flynn call to the then-Russian ambassador to the U.S."
The FBI didn't need to interview the National Security Adviser about his conversation; it had the transcript. Yet the bureau's then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe sandbagged Mr. Flynn, arranging for him to meet with FBI agents without a lawyer. Former FBI Director Jim Comey later gloated over the setup. The FBI also chose not to provide Mr. Flynn a standard warning against lying, to keep him comfortable. Despite all this, the agents reported - according to government notes - that they 'believe that F. believes that what he said was true.' He didn't intentionally lie.
This was always totally about getting Flynn to flip on President Trump. The FBI's problem was that there was nothing to flip about. The Mueller report stated that there wasn't any conspiracy "between Donald Trump and Russia, the Trump campaign and Russia" or any American and Russia.
[Video no longer available]
That didn't stop the FBI or special counsel from pressing forward:
Fast forward to Robert Mueller, who didn't care. The FBI knew in January 2017 that its collusion investigation was a bust; it confirmed the Steele dossier was a fabrication. So Mr. Comey engineered a special counsel to salvage the FBI's reputation by ginning up unrelated 'crimes.' Mr. Mueller dredged up the Flynn interview and threatened to prosecute the former national security adviser's son unless Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying. Facing bankruptcy, Mr. Flynn succumbed to this naked abuse of power.
Jim Comey likely won't be prosecuted. That's unfortunate because he's totally reprehensible. He didn't think twice about setting up a 3-star general.
Here's something worth pondering. Would people that set up a 3-star general hesitate to break the law to get rid of the president he served? Let's remember that the president he served was the target all along.

Democrats killed COVID patients
Is Politics More Valuable than Human Lives?
By Ramblin' Rose
How pervasive is the hatred for President Trump by the Democrats and other progressives? It appears that the lives of 190,000 US citizens were not important in their quest to demean and belittle all his efforts. At least, that appears to be the information from a Senate hearing that was not reported by the MSM.
Many of us were hopeful when we learned last spring (March 19) about the potential of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in preventing and/or treating early cases of COVID. It had been used for decades (1934) in the treatment of malaria and was considered at least partially effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. It had been approved by the FDA and was very inexpensive and abundant. In June, the FDA revoked its emergency authorization of HCQ.
The very second that President Trump suggested its consideration in treating COVID, the partisan political games began. At least one legislator from Michigan contacted President Trump personally, received sanction for a legal prescription and recovered from COVID. Others around the world reported similar successes. But not in this country.
Some medical professionals held press conferences last summer and spoke of their successes with patients and pleaded with politicians to join them in the fight of treating COVID. The politicians sided with Dr. Fauci and against President Trump. The politicians prevailed.
Recently, more successful reports arrived from other countries. As the number of cases and deaths surged again in the USA this fall, the blame fell to the Trump rallies and not to the riots and protestors. Blame was always attributed to President Trump and his 'cult.'
The MSM completely ignored the November 19th full committee hearing the Committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, chaired by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI). At the 'Early Outpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution,' three acclaimed doctors spoke - Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Harvey Risch and Dr. George Fareed. They 'spoke authoritatively on the success of HCQ cocktails in keeping COVID patients out of hospital and saving lives.' Senator Johnson and the medical experts bemoaned the lack of support from the federal government in supporting at-home care and even opposition to proven clinical studies and reports. In fact, the politicians had blocked the use of demonstrated successful means of treatment.
Political 'experts' who insist that they believe in science rejected scientific proof of ways to treat patients and combat the plague.
At the committee hearing, one Democrat vociferously challenged the medical experts. When Senator Johnson asked Dr. Ashish Jha if he had ever treated a COVID patient, he replied he hadn't. His colleagues spoke of testing and vaccines.
In the words of Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, writing for the WorldNetDaily: 'Johnson summed up the ugly reality perfectly. He said it was "unconscionable and inhuman" to do nothing to promote effective home treatments. And he said this: "We should have the right to access this without the interference of bureaucrats in the CDC, NIH and the FDA. And that is exactly what's happened. I can't get it. Millions of Americans can't access it because of the disinformation, the scaremongering and the prescription log jam that has been created by bureaucrats."
Daily we learn of more cases, more hospitalizations, more deaths from COVID. States suffer more shutdowns from authoritarian governors. Businesses close. Workers lose jobs, income and self-esteem. Deaths from the stresses caused by the pandemic and politicians also skyrocket. We suffer.
The doctors reported at the hearing that the hospitalizations and deaths could be reduced by 70-80% if known means of early intervention with at-home treatments would be authorized. That translates to having save 190,000 human lives IF THE POLITICIANS WERE NOT SO STUBBORNLY POLITICAL. (Yes, I am shouting. I am mad.)
Personally, I asked my own doctor last summer about preventative care with HCQ. She declined with the PC answer - 'not approved.'
Does the Left really hate President Trump and Patriots enough to condemn innocent citizens to death in order to further their political agenda?
God help us all! God bless the USA!!

Do you have any source to link to about whether Trump at Walter Reed was treated with this chemical? He touted it. Did he take it? Was it offered and declined, or not a part of the Walter Reed protocol to even offer it? If you know. It seems kept a very dark point of silence where detailed "sunshine" transparency is required. What did he take and when did he take it. Otherwise it's sensible to expect a hoax, or at least an error in information.
Reimagining Minneapolis policing?
If this Strib article is the best that the DFL-dominated Minneapolis City Council can do while re-imagining policing, then, to use a phrase that the late great Andrew Breitbart used, they suck. (Breitbart used that punchline at the 2011 RightOnline Conference at the Minneapolis Marriott.)
The article opens, saying "Elaine, a front-line health care worker in Minneapolis, was putting groceries in the trunk of her car recently, in a crowded parking lot at the Uptown Kowalski's Market, giving her high-alert system a break, as most of us do when some benign activity consumes our attention. It was 5:15 p.m. A moment later, a car blaring loud music pulled up behind hers, trapping her at her own car's trunk. Someone got out of the car and punched Elaine to the ground. An accomplice wrested her handbag from her arm. In the next instant, the car and assailants were gone. It was again a regular evening, just after dark, in a busy parking lot in Uptown."
The DFL-only City Council didn't just to defund the police. They voted unanimously to dismantle the police. That isn't just stupid. It's borderline malfeasance.
The robbery had happened so fast that no one had even noticed. Elaine, my colleague's mom, a 60-plus year-old woman, beaten and robbed, her eye already swelling shut, had to pull herself up from the ground and stumble into the store for help. The store security chief, Scott Nelson, experienced with this kind of crime, immediately began reviewing film from monitoring cameras at nearby businesses.
Committed to pursuing justice for Elaine, Nelson laments that we "need police service and we need more of it. South Minneapolis is worse than I've ever seen it." He describes the surge of 20-plus attacks a day that are now striking people just going about their daily business, people like Elaine.
Usually in a stolen car, perpetrators Nelson describes as 'young teens, 12-to-14 years old' cruise from lot to lot in neighborhood business districts, waiting for a victim, "like a deer hunter sits in a tree." When they are apprehended, Nelson says consequences are negligible. " I arrest the same people over and over. Nothing happens to them . "
It's time that Minneapolis Democrats to decide whether to let activist Democrats run roughshod over the city or whether to assert themselves and restore sanity to Minneapolis. Right now, insanity is winning:
[Video no longer available]
What's worse is that there's no end in sight:
In recent years many regional leaders and groups have invested in rebranding our region for a more vibrant future. We planned to use our built and natural environment to welcome a new generation of visitors, workers and residents. How I would love to have those days of blossoming possibility back.
Now our city's future hangs in the balance. As we teeter between proclamations and inaction, women are attacked while running daily errands. Carjackings are perpetrated in broad daylight; my daughter witnessed one the other day as she walked her dog. A North Side community group is suing the city for holding the concept of safety hostage to the concept of reform. It is not viable to sacrifice one to the other. Surely we can achieve both?
It's time for Minneapolis to invest in a new City Council. This one failed miserably.

On the night of February 29, 2012, Breitbart collapsed suddenly while walking in Brentwood. He was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead just after midnight, March 1, 2012. He was 43 years old. An autopsy by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office showed that he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with focal coronary atherosclerosis, and died of a heart attack.
Breitbart was the guy who brought down Anthony Weiner in a single press conference.

Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS)
Here is one model for reform: Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) is a law enforcement operational model supported by a partnership among the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and two agencies of the Department of Justice: the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National Institute of Justice.
DDACTS integrates location-based crime and traffic crash data to determine the most effective methods for deploying law enforcement and other resources. Drawing on the deterrent value of highly visible traffic enforcement and the knowledge that crimes often involve motor vehicles, the goal of DDACTS is to reduce crime, crashes, and traffic violations across the country. https://one.nhtsa.gov/Driving-Safety/Enforcement-&-Justice-Services/Data-Driven-Approaches-to-Crime-and-Traffic-Safety-(DDACTS)

Gen. Michael Flynn's gratitude
On Wednesday, President Trump pardoned Gen. Michael T. Flynn . On Thanksgiving, Gen. Flynn wrote this thank you letter to the nation. The unconstitutional per secution of Gen. Flynn is officially behind us. Judge Emmit Sullivan is officially a laughingstock. Gen. Flynn is what he's been all along -- innocent of anything except of protecting his family.
In his letter of gratitude, Gen. Flynn said "We are a nation founded by leaders who fought tyranny and oppression to ensure that all American citizens be treated fairly and equally across this land. These constitutional and God-given rights should never be denied or disguised behind false prosecution or political persecution out of fear, hate, or an opposing voice. Those who scowl at the very core of our Republic and act from vengeance or revenge against one of us, threaten the safety and security of all of us . " That's why the Fourteenth Amendment is essential to this nation's health. Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment contains this:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws .
It was famously said that the laws either protect all of us or they don't protect any of us. That's quite right.
[Video no longer available]
This makes the Flynn family warriors:
Together, we have overcome this enormous hurdle. Now we will get back up on our feet, dust ourselves off, and not fear what lies ahead. We may be tested again with false accusations and untruths and hatred for our beliefs and for raising our voices but we cannot be deterred and we cannot stop.
Make sure to read the entire letter. It's definitely worth the time.
