Here I Come To Save The Day…

By Ben Garrison

Hillary is running again. Biden is an over-aged gaffe machine. He’s a joke. The rest are far-left loonies. Bernie is a grumpy, crusty old communist. All of them will fall into lockstep for Hillary, who will be painted as an electable moderate.

She’s really an extremist—an extreme criminal. She’s violated campaign finance law at will for years and the FEC did nothing. She blatantly broke the law by spending campaign funds on the Steele Dossier out of Russia. It was a pack of lies designed to bring down a lawfully elected president. The FEC did nothing—but we all know Hillary is protected by the Deep State.

Now the FEC is shut down due to some quorum technicality and partisan politics in Congress is preventing its reconstitution. It probably won’t matter either way to Hillary, who is holding a $50,000 per plate fund-raising dinner party at her mansion. She’s amassing another huge war chest already. During her last run for the White House she outspent Trump 2-1. Maybe this time it will be 3 or 4 times to 1. Does anyone really believe she’s doing all of this just to fork it over to someone like Beto or Warren? I think not.

Hillary controls her party. She rigs primaries. She dictates policy, strategy, and staffing. She owns it. She’s the dictator of her party. Can you imagine Stalin handing her reins of power over to a subordinate? Of course not. Neither will Hillary. Like Stalin, she lives for power and control. She enjoys flaunting her corruption and evading justice. She’s a sociopathic criminal who spent most of her life angling toward the presidency. She’s not about to give up her goal now.

Hillary will be seen as the hero who arrives to save the day for the Democrat Party. Instead she’ll complete its destruction.

Help Activists Arrested in Boston, Including Antifa Goons Who Assaulted Cops

Via American Greatness

Far-left Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley lent a helping hand to violent antifa agitators over the weekend after a number of them were arrested on assault and battery charges.

The two “Squad” members urged their followers on Twitter to contribute to the bail fund for the “counter-protesters” who tangled with law enforcement while protesting the Straight Pride Parade in Boston on Saturday. A masked Antifa protester told reporters that the violence was necessary in order to shut up Straight Pride marchers.

The FundRazr page said that the monies raised would go toward “any legal fees, as well as supplies for jail support.”

The purpose of the parade was to “take a stand for free speech and demonstrate that the ‘oppressed majority’ of straight Americans have just as much right to celebrate their sexuality as does the LGBTQ community,” organizer John Hugo told the Boston Herald. Organizers insisted that the parade was open to “all races, genders and sexual orientations.”

AOC urged her followers to contribute to the crowdfunding campaign to “support the local LGBTQ community impacted by Boston’s white supremacist parade.” Pressley thanked the “allies & accomplices who stood in the gap & laid their bodies on the line …”

The New York Times Is Trying to Rewrite History to Fit Its Biases

Via The Daily Signal

The newspaper’s executive editor, Dean Baquet, recently called a staff meeting to announce “The 1619 Project,” named for the year the first African slaves were brought to Virginia. Someone recorded the session and leaked it to Slate, which published a transcript. The Washington Examiner reported on it.

“The goal of the 1619 Project,” says a statement from the newspaper, “is to reframe American history.”

More like rewrite it. This is the stuff of totalitarian regimes where the media serve as a propaganda organ for the state, in this case the surging left wing of the Democratic Party.

No more America beginning with the Declaration of Independence, The Federalist Papers, and the Constitution. Africans had no say in these, though Jefferson’s brilliant line about all of us being created equal would resound nearly a century later in a Civil War that led to the freeing of slaves and the long road to achieving Jefferson’s noble statement.

Not satisfied with practicing what used to be called journalism, it appears the newspaper’s ultimate goal is to change what is taught in public schools so that children will no longer think highly of their country because of the “stain” of slavery, a stain that has been more than paid for in blood and federal programs, which have attempted to lift some descendants of slaves out of poverty.

In many cases those programs have failed, poverty having many causes, but liberals continue to promote them because it seemingly makes them feel better about themselves.

The Examiner’s Byron York writes: “The basic thrust of the 1619 Project is that everything in American history is explained by slavery and race. The message is woven throughout the first publication of the project, an entire edition of the Times magazine.”

One excerpt reveals their drift: “If you want to understand the brutality of American capitalism, you have to start on the plantation.” Never mind that “brutal” capitalism has lifted more boats than any other economic system.

Feminist Thought-Leader Claims Milking Cows Is The Same As Rape

Via Campus Reform

A paper currently being promoted by a New York university calls on society to consider the rampant “sexual exploitation” of dairy cows by the milk industry in order to “fully fight gendered oppression.”

Specifically, the author compares cattle insemination to “rape” and the milking of cows to “sexual abuse.”

Titled “Readying the Rape Rack: Feminism and the Exploitation of Non-Human Reproductive Systems,” the paper was published Friday in a journal called Dissenting Voices, which is published and edited by the Women’s and Gender Studies program at the College at Brockport State University of New York.

The published piece aims at discussing the “sexual exploitation of non-human bodies, specifically dairy cows.” The author notes that “as a vegan and animal rights activist,” she feels compelled to reveal the “feminist aspects of animal agriculture,” a topic she says is unfortunately “under-researched,” but is nonetheless important because “the same way women’s health has been at stake for years, a dairy cow’s reproductive system has been poked and prodded.”

According to the publication, “the dairy industry is a host for sex-based discrimination,” and a “site where sexual assault and objectification based on biological makeup are highly prevalent but ignored as we choose to neglect non- humans with whom we share a planet.”

Snopes Rates Biden’s Claim That 2+2=5 As ‘Mostly True’

Via the Babylon Bee (SATIRE)

U.S.—Joe Biden recently made a strange claim: that 2+2=5. He was ridiculed for his gaffe after making the statement while speaking at an elementary school. The kids all said, “Hey, dummy! The answer is 4, not 5!”

But the crack squad of fact-checkers at Snopes quickly got to work on Biden’s incredulous claim. Their findings? Biden’s statement was actually “mostly true.”

“Sure, Biden got some key details wrong,” said Bob Snopes, founder of Snopes. “But the central concept of what he was saying, that two numbers put together make another number, was completely accurate. Sometimes two and two make four. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. It is not easy to become sane.”

The website’s 6,000-word defense/fact-check of Biden’s claim further pointed out that 80% of the answer was correct, and it’s only the one additional number that was a mixture of truth and falsehood.

As the event neared its conclusion, Biden claimed there were five spotlights lighting up the stage even though there were clearly four. One bald man in the back shouted, “There are four lights!” but was dragged from the room for reeducation.
