If the President Wants to Win, He Needs to Do Better

Via American Greatness

Threatening tweets are no longer passing muster. Just the opposite: They make Trump look weak when he fails to follow through with action.

As a brief internet search will quickly confirm, I have spilt more than my share of ink defending President Trump against the incessant, and incessantly blatant, lies of his enemies. And I remain committed to voting for the president come November.

Yet, as of now, I can’t imagine that I will bring with me the enthusiasm I had in 2016.

Today, not quite four years after Trump’s historic victory, America is now in its fourth month—its fourth month—of its transformation from a (relatively) free country into an internment camp. All of this because of a virus the majority of whose hosts are asymptomatic and whose overall mortality rate, at approximately 0.1 percent, is about that of the seasonal flu.

By the arbitrary decrees of power-hungry, politically motivated governors and mayors, Americans have had their lives radically subverted: economically, psychologically, and socially, Americans of all races and ages have been immeasurably harmed.

The mask, that most dehumanizing symbol of fear, of subjugation, and of social alienation, is now a staple of everyday life.

This historically unprecedented state of affairs occurred in Trump’s America.

But so, too, did something else.

On the eve of summer, as fears regarding the coronavirus were beginning to ease as it became increasingly obvious that “the curve” had not just been flattened but crushed, Trump’s enemies—America’s enemies—proceeded to execute a campaign of mass lawlessness and violence in well over a hundred cities throughout the country.

The “fundamental transformation” of the country for which the Left has long ached was given new life as monuments to Euro-Christian civilization (including monuments to abolitionists, black and white) were razed by generously funded, well-organized mobs of street vermin.

The White House itself—the place where the president and his loved ones reside—was under attack.

And yet, while we can thank God that the First Family is safe, it’s been more than a little demoralizing for millions of us that Western civilization’s malcontents, its mortal nemeses, continued, and continue, to act with abandon.

From the “law and order” president, his supporters deserve more than threatening tweets.

President Trump assured voters a few years ago that he would use the resources of the office of the presidency to make America great again. 

He promised to do so.

He didn’t say that as long as Democrats and Republicans agree to go along with him that he’d make America great again.

Federal Officials: Officers in Portland Removed Name Badges Because of Doxing

Via The New American

America’s peacekeepers and their families now face the threat of doxing.

Dozens of federal officers in Portland have reportedly had their personal information posted to the Internet, with the doxers encouraging other left-wing activists to go to those officers’ homes.

At a press conference, Federal Protective Service (FPS) Deputy Director of Operations Richard Cline said that about 38 officers have been doxed so far, which is why officers had their name badges removed in some instances.

“We are going to convert their name [tags] to their badge number as about 38 of our officers that are out there have been doxed and their personal information has been put online,” he said.

Many progressive activists and Democrat lawmakers have lashed out at the Department of Homeland Security for using “unidentified” officers to make arrests in places such as Portland, where the feds have been deployed to curtail violent attacks on federal buildings.

But DHS officials explained that name tags were not displayed due to ongoing doxing concerns.

Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said doxers are endangering the families of law enforcement. As a result, names are being replaced by personal identifiers so agents can be identified internally.

“That’s another thing that’s absolutely disgusting,” he said. “So they’re not only jeopardizing the lives of the agents, they’re also jeopardizing the lives of their families as they [are] putting out their home information and they’re suggesting that individuals go to their homes.

“So yes, as acting commissioner, I have authorized and supported removing their names from their uniforms.”

A DHS report from June describes the posting of personal information of officers and other law-enforcement personnel online amid the protests and riots.

“While doxing does not in and of itself constitute a threat to law enforcement and their families, doxing might result in the downstream threat of violence by violent opportunists or domestic violent extremists (DVEs), or otherwise prevent DHS personnel or law enforcement partners from executing their lawful mission,” the note says.

Dozens of King County prosecutors want office to ignore some burglary, drug and assault cases

Via Q13 Fox Seattle

A group of King County prosecutors who are part of a working group on race and social justice has a long list of crimes they believe the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office should decline to file charges on, including in some cases when officers are assaulted.

According to a letter obtained by Q13 News and signed by dozens of current King County deputy prosecutors, the group also wants to change the influence and input law enforcement has on criminal cases.

“We are committed to being servants of our community, and our community is crying out for a new vision of justice, now more than ever,” reads the letter, a proposal from the King County DPAA Equity & Justice Workgroup. “We join those cries wholeheartedly, and we urge you not to miss this moment.”

The DPAA is the union representing deputy-level prosecuting attorneys.

“These ideas are a starting point; we have a diversity of backgrounds and opinions, and we recognize that some proposals may not come to fruition. Our allegiance is not to any particular recommendation within, but to the overarching mission of equity and racial justice,” the letter reads.

Among their proposals: Reconsider whether to file felony third-degree assault cases when the victim is a law enforcement officer.

“These (charges) often arise from aggressive responses by law enforcement officers toward persons of color, or from an arrestee’s mental health or substance abuse episode,” the letter reads, adding that such cases should be filed “reluctantly.”

The letter also states that third-degree assault charges should not be filed if the officer had a bodycam but did not turn it on, or if the officer did not have proper training on de-escalation and implicit bias.

Man Takes Stand Against Masks By Farting Into Costco Intercom

Via Louder With Crowder

Okay, I might be jumping to conclusions about this being mask/covid related. But a) he’s not wearing a mask, b) it is in fact a Costco, c) I’m hardly the only person on the internet jumping to this conclusion, and most importantly, d) CNN jumped to conclusions when they saw Nicholas Sandmann staring at a native American. Besides, we’ve seen more than our share of meltdowns (see FLORIDA WOMAN DOESN’T WEAR A MASK FOR THE SAME REASON SHE DOESN’T WEAR UNDERWEAR, AND SHE’S MY NEW HERO and TWO MASKED MORONS CONFRONTED THIS GUY FOR NOT MASKING UP. HIS RESPONSE IS PERFECTION!). As far as I’m concerned, this is a patriotic act of civil disobedience. If Trump doesn’t give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom for this, what’s the point of even having Trump?

You wouldn’t know this, but it’s taken me over a half and hour to write this sentence because I can’t stop laughing. I’m not proud. But at the end of the day, the wisdom our fathers and grandfathers have passed down for generations rings true: Farts. Always. Equal. Funny.

Though as hard as I’m laughing, I feel like this video is missing something. After letting one rip and having it echo throughout the Costco as a legion of Karens and Beckys all load up on 172 count boxes of string cheese, he should have screamed into the intercom, “Put a mask on now, bitch!” And proceeded to throw up both middle fingers as security slowly started to advance on him. With their shirts pulled up over their noses. Because there is no denying who supplied this one. This man both smelted it AND dealt it.

EDITOR’s NOTE: The funniest thing since Newbomb Turk farting “Volare” in The Hollywood Knights and a stand against tyranny too.

AOC Pulls An All-Nighter Studying For Covid Test

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

THE BRONX, NY—Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was up all night last night studying for her Covid-19 test, which she took this morning. While her results won’t be in for approximately four days, Ocasio-Cortez is confident that she’ll receive at least a B minus.

“Literally you guys, I’ve been awake for like 30 hours right now,” she told viewers in a live stream, just before taking the test. “And look at this, I’m still hitting the books!” Ocasio-Cortez then held up a high school science book so all her fans could see how smart she is.

While Ocasio-Cortez stayed up all night studying for the test like a good student, most of the other people at CVS said they hadn’t studied at all. Ocasio-Cortez explained that most of the people at the pharmacy seemed to be conservatives, so it’s no wonder they didn’t study.  “What we’re seeing here is a complete lack of effort from conservatives, and it’s embarrassing,” she explained.

“I’ve been up all night,” the freshman congresswoman tweeted at 5 a.m. “And I now know more about the Coronavirus than probably anyone on the planet. Did you know Covid-19 is literally the most dangerous disease of our time? Another fun fact: you don’t actually catch it from drinking Corona. I know. I tested it.”

President Trump, after receiving news that Ocasio-Cortez had taken the test and probably done well, immediately took to Twitter:  “I’ll take the test right now. NO STUDYING NECESSARY. I guarantee my score will be MUCH HIGHER than little Miss Socialist Utopia-Cortez. Pathetic!”
