Gleeful Rahm Emanuel Predicts Trump Will Be Forced To Cancel Rallies Due To Virus

Via Trending Politics

Democrats and their media allies are hoping that the coronavirus will be able to do what Robert Mueller couldn’t by preventing President Trump from being reelected.

It didn’t take long after their impeachment went up in flames for Dems to settle on a new line of attack on the leader of the free world and it is now evident that the national hysteria over the illness is being exploited for political purposes.

On the Sunday morning shows that provide a launching pad for the week’s propaganda, it was former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel who let the cat out of the bag on what the party’s top objective is.

According to the longtime Democrat who worked in both the Obama and Clinton regimes, Trump will have no choice but to cave to media pressure by calling off his campaign rallies due to the coronavirus.

The man whose maxim of never letting a good crisis “go to waste” is the party playbook for weaponizing the virus against Trump in an election year was positively giddy when he appeared on ABC’s “This Week” today.

According to the man who was once given the nickname “the prince of darkness”:

“… and I think here’s what’s going to be devastating for Donald Trump. Beyond the fact that this requires science, management, data and being transparent which are all his weaknesses..

You’re going to have a point within about two months where you cannot have big events together.

If you look at presidential history, Franklin Roosevelt used to drive to get out in the country to get out…

President Bush 41 was out on a speedboat,

For those who have long suspected that Emanuel is the Devil in human form, this would confirm that suspicion. Bush and Ronald Reagan would obviously go to their ranches..

He is not going to be able to have his rallies.

And it is going to psychologically… the office is… isolating enough, and his inability to get the admiration and adulation from those crowds is going to psychologically torment him and his isolation is gonna get more intense and his tweets are gonna get more vicious.”

For those who have suspected that Emanuel is the Devil in human form, his comments would seem to confirm such an idea.

While Americans are being conditioned like lab rats in the most sinister political gambit yet, President Trump has said that he has no intention of succumbing to the fear of the mob and calling off the rallies.

Soviet Union Documents Reveal Plans To Exploit Bernie Sanders For ‘Propaganda’

Via The Federalist

New documents obtained by the New York Times reveal how the Soviet Union viewed then Burlington, Vermont Mayor Bernie Sanders as a “socialist” they could “exploit” for “propaganda.”

In December of 1987, Mayor Sanders wrote to the government of Yaroslavl, a Soviet city, stating he wanted the U.S. and USSR to “live together as friends.” He initiated a sister-city program between Yaroslavl and Burlington.

After his wedding, Sanders honeymooned with his wife Jane Sanders in Yaroslavl to initiate the program. He told Burlington reporters, “people [in Yaroslavl] seemed reasonably happy and content. I didn’t notice much deprivation.”

In a letter seeking approval from Mikhail Gorbachev to travel to the United States, Yaroslalv officials made the case for using Sanders as a means of Soviet propaganda.

“One of the most useful channels, in practice, for actively carrying out information-propaganda efforts has proved to be sister-city contact,” the Soviet Foreign Ministry document read.

According to the New York Times, Yaroslavl officials pledged to discuss Gorbachev’s “peace-loving foreign policy” with the people of Burlington. They also attached a “seven-point ‘plan for information-propaganda work’ on their visit to Burlington, with hopes of revealing “American imperialism as the main source of the danger of war.”

The report shows a coinciding nine-page guide provided by the Soviet Foreign Ministry on how to properly communicate Soviet-era policies to Americans. The report describes the importance of sister-city contacts for Soviet propaganda.

“When carrying out propaganda measures abroad, the forms and methods of the information-propaganda work and its concrete contents must be approved by the Soviet Embassy and take into account the Soviet Union’s relationship with the given country,” the guide read.

More than 40 years later, Sanders remains proud of his work with the Soviet Union.

Kamala Harris Endorses Biden Even Though She Accused Him of Being Racist Last Year

Via PJ Media

On Sunday morning, Senator Kamala Harris announced she is endorsing Joe Biden for president “with great enthusiasm.”

“There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office. He is kind and endlessly caring, and he truly listens to the American people,” Harris said in a statement obtained by The Hill.

The failed presidential candidate also made a video statement about her endorsement, in which she declared “One of the things we need right now is a leader who really does care about the people and who can therefore unify the people, and I believe Joe can do that.”

Last summer, Harris clashed with Joe Biden over his past statements on working with Democrat segregationists, particularly on the issue of busing.

“There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was me,” Harris said, in what was actually a very misleading statement.

In response, Biden called Harris’ attack “a mischaracterization of my position across the board.”

“I did not praise racists,” he added. “If we want to have this litigated on who supports civil rights, I’m happy to do that.”

Harris’s attacks on Joe Biden had been pre-planned. Despite experiencing a temporary boost in the polls, she ultimately dropped out in December, citing racism and sexism for her failure.

Harris’s newfound praise of Biden contradicts her previous attacks on him, which she made repeatedly in the hopes of overcoming his then undisputed frontrunner status. “I have to be candid with you. From the moment that I heard his comments about these segregationists, it was troubling and it was hurtful,” Harris told MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt in July. “You know, I think that also part of my feeling about it was to hear those words from someone I respect in a way that suggests a bit of nostalgia about who these guys were. They were segregationists, they built their careers and their reputations on segregation of the races.”

California Is a Cruel Medieval State

Via American Greatness

The Golden State has become a cruel and unusual place because callousness and narcissism were redefined as caring and compassion.

One way of understanding California is simply to invert traditional morality. What for centuries would be considered selfish, callous, and greedy is now recalibrated as caring, empathetic, and generous. The current ethos of evaluating someone by his or her superficial appearance—gender or race—has returned to the premodern values of 19th-century California when race and gender calibrated careers. We don’t pay medieval priests for indulgences of our past and ongoing sin, but we do tweet out displays of our goodness as the penance price of acting amoral.

A paradox ensues that Californians both have a high, indeed smug, view of themselves and yet do a lot of damage to their fellow human beings. Their haughtiness is based largely on the reality that Silicon Valley, sandwiched between Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley, became the birthplace of the global computer, internet, social media, and a high-tech revolution. For progressives who deprecate the capitalist lifestyle, having a lot of money still allows one to say one thing and live out the opposite.

The state’s multi-trillion-dollar companies have hired tens of thousands of seven-figure, mid-level executives and computer experts who assume that life in the California coastal corridor is a birthright paradise.

The resulting tax revenue bonanza to the state allows one-party-rule to rid California of the old bothersome Reagan-Deukmejian-Wilson working- and middle-classes by embracing not-in-my-backyard zoning, identity politics, anal-retentive regulations, steep tax rates, utopian green agendas, open borders, and decriminalization of things that used to be felony offenses.

Indeed, the bigger and wealthier California became, the more the rich sought to privatize their lives and to give up on public services, the more the middle classes left the state, the more the poor from Mexico and Latin America crossed the southern border illegally, the more its schools deteriorated, and the more its infrastructure ossified and became decrepit, from century-old power transmission towers to pot-holed and jammed highways.

The resulting medieval society is now one of a few thousand millionaires and millions of lower-middle-class wage earners as well as millions of abject peasants and poor serfs. Those on the bottom receive relatively generous subsidies to just get by. Over a quarter of the state’s population was not born in the United States. A fifth lives below the poverty line. One-third of welfare recipients in the United States live in California. These are statistics of which our moralists in Malibu or Mill Valley either are ignorant, or simply shrug that they don’t care.

Hillary Clinton Says Epstein Assassination Was To ‘Manage Anxiety’

Via The Babylon Bee

CHAPPAQUA, NY—In a recent interview from her wine cellar this week, Hillary Clinton revealed some of her favorite methods for dealing with stress. “Being the president is an extremely stressful job,” she told reporters. “Since I am the president, I have to deal with anxiety on a regular basis. One way to calm my nerves is with a good, old-fashioned assassination. Of course, I would never do such a thing, but If I did do something like, say, killing Jeffery Epstein, it would be a great way to cope with the demands of my very important job. Ok, I killed Epstein. I needed to do it to manage my anxieties. I feel bad about it. HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Hillary bemoaned the fact that since she isn’t allowed in the White House or situation room for some reason, she no longer has access to handy tools like drones or Treadstone super-soldiers. “Sometimes,” she said, “I have to settle for watching that prison assassination scene from Breaking Bad over a bottle of wine! Can you imagine? HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Let it be known that The Babylon Bee proudly supports everything Hillary Clinton does and we are glad she is our president. She is a wonderful leader and we would never do anything to ever upset her in any way. We are also not suicidal.
