Trump roundly booed by World Series crowd as fans yell ‘lock him up’

Via Fox News

The partisan Washington Nationals crowd was not pleased when President Trump was shown on the ballpark’s video screen during Game 5 of the World Series between the hometown Nationals and visiting Houston Astros, as fans greeted him with a crescendo of boos in the third inning of the ballgame.

n addition, fans mockingly yelled “lock him up,” a chant Trump supporters began in 2016 against his opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

The president, according to WUSA, did not sit with Nationals owner Mark Lerner after a Lerner family representative requested MLB not put the family in a position to turn down a request from the White House to sit with him.

However, at some point during the game, Astros owner Jim Crane did stop by Trump’s box to say hello to Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

In addition, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said Trump decided not to throw out the ceremonial first pitch “in order to make the fan experience as positive as possible” for the series, which was tied at 2 pending the outcome of Sunday’s Game 5. The Astros led to a 7-1 win Sunday night.

The Democrats Are Neoconservatives Now

Via American Greatness

The meltdown over the Syria crisis and the simultaneous Tulsi-Clinton dispute, have driven home the strange truth that the Democrats have become neocons.

When the establishment boot comes stomping, it’s clear that party affiliation matters less to the swamp than loyalty to its dictates. Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is a doctrinaire liberal in nearly every respect but one. Yet what unites her and Trump is significant enough to make both targets of a machine bent on destroying them.

Last week, Gabbard became the center of an intra-party dispute after Hillary Clinton, the exiled queen of neoliberals, accused her of being a “Russian asset.” It was not the first time Gabbard was so libeled, but the attack, coming from Clinton, exposed a rift between the dominant international Left of apparatchiks who think that “Putin bad” is foreign policy, and the vanishing, historic anti-war Left that Gabbard exemplifies.

At first, Gabbard received the support only of fellow outsiders Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson. Bernie Sanders eventually woke up for a moment from his late-career lapse into international liberalism to back the anti-war Democrat, but the Clintonite lapdogs fell in line and piled on the abuse.

Rather than dismiss Clinton’s accusations as insane and dishonorable, the media has taken Clinton’s claims with cautious seriousness, or else cavalier joy. The New York Times published a puff piece calling Clinton a “master troll”—that’s the paper of record’s way of describing a powerful Democrat accusing an American lawmaker of treason without evidence.

Gabbard’s takedown of Clinton, her willingness to call out the media for its deception and warmongering, have further endeared her to the populist Right while alienating her from the politically bankrupt neoliberal Left that has sought to bury her. Her righteous anger, like that of Trump’s on account of being mercilessly libeled by the media, looks vindictive to the Clinton-bots; in their view, it only further confirms that she is indeed a Russian asset (despite no evidence of such having surfaced).

The problem for Gabbard is that she is a true believer, which makes her kind of an oddity, and also a natural target for soulless shills like Clinton and her dutiful army of automatons. Unlike her fellow Democrats, Gabbard has actual convictions—ones that were forged in war, where real people die and real people come home missing limbs.

It’s not hard to figure why Gabbard is popular among Trump supporters—except Gabbard and Trump don’t have much in common at all, as Michael Tracey, a Gabbard fan, put it: “she routinely demolishes Trump and most of her policy positions are fundamentally opposed to what you advocate. She’s just not a mindless partisan bot and actually challenges her party’s leadership/orthodoxies.”

Washington Post Writes Glowing Obituary For World’s Most Brutal Terrorist

Via The Federalist

President Donald Trump announced the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Sunday morning in an address to the nation after a Saturday night raid in northwest Syria.

“He died like a dog, he died like a coward,” Trump said.

Baghdadi’s death marks the execution of the world’s most dangerous terrorist since Osama Bin Laden’s killing in 2011. Baghdadi, the founder of the Islamic State, otherwise known as “ISIS” or “ISIL,” oversaw the extrajudicial killings of James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig and Muadh al-Kasasbeh capturing international attention in addition to the slaughtering of hundreds more.

The obituary from the Washington Post however, framed one of the world’s most brutal terrorists as an “austere religious scholar.”

“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies at 48,” read the initial published headline from one of America’s leading newspapers.

Rep. Katie Hill Resigns in Disgrace Following Inappropriate Lesbian Relationship with Staffer

Via Big League Politics

Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) announced her resignation from Congress today in a social media post, just days after she denied any wrongdoing after embarrassing nude pictures of the freshman Congresswoman were released to the public.

“It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress,” Hill said in a statement. “This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country.”

In her official statement, she continues to heap the blame on an “abusive husband” for the fall out that has occurred because of her inappropriate lesbian sex affair with a former staffer.

POLL: Most young Americans support ‘hate speech’ exemption in First Amendment

Via Campus Reform

A majority of young Americans, including those who are college-aged, support rewriting the First Amendment to adjust for “hate speech.”

A recent survey conducted by the Campaign for Free Speech asked 1004 people about their attitudes toward the First Amendment. The results, published Wednesday, show that a majority of young adults believe the First Amendment “goes too far in allowing hate speech” and “should be updated.”

While 78 percent of young adults ages 18-34 understood the meaning of the First Amendment as written as allowing “anyone to say their opinion no matter what, and they are protected by law from any consequences of saying those thoughts or opinions,” most support altering the amendment in one form or another, including seven out of ten who said the speech of certain ideological groups should be more restricted.

When asked whether the First Amendment should be updated to adjust for hate speech and “reflect the cultural norms of today,” 59 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 34 were in favor of such an update. Just 33 percent opposed such a change, with the other eight percent saying they were unsure.

When asked more directly if “hate speech should be against the law,” 50 percent of people within the same age group answered “yes,” with 47 percent saying that an appropriate consequence for “hate speech” would include possible jail time.

Cash-Strapped CNN Now Just Recycling Old Articles But Replacing ‘Russian Collusion’ With ‘Ukrainian Scandal’

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

ATLANTA, GA—Strapped for cash and failing in ratings, CNN has discovered an innovative new way to cut costs: simply rerunning articles from a year or two ago and replacing the phrase “Russian collusion” with an updated term, “Ukrainian scandal.”

“This is a green, Earth-friendly way to recycle news stories,” said a CNN rep. “We have discovered a completely carbon-neutral way to produce indefinitely renewable outrage.”

CNN technical experts simply searched their website for any article about the Russian collusion hoax and replaced all references to Russia with references to Ukraine.

Leftists have praised CNN’s move, saying it is the most environmentally conscious way to report news stories. “Other news organizations are spending lots of resources and generating a ton of carbon by actually reporting on things that really happened,” said one climate activist. “But CNN recycles their wild conspiracy theories every couple years, allowing us to reuse our old, beat-up sense of outrage for years to come.”

CNN spokespeople say they look forward to recycling the stories with whatever new reason for impeachment they drum up well into Trump’s second term.
