The Blue Mirage

“BIDEN IS PRESIDENT ELECT BECAUSE WE SAID SO,” FAKE NEWS.

I occasionally tune into CNN to observe the Democratic propaganda du jour.

I expected to hear outrage that Trump hasn’t conceded and that’s exactly what I got. The CNN talking heads nattered on about how unfounded Trump’s accusations of voting fraud were and that he had no proof. They claimed that even Trump’s staffers were urging him to accept his defeat for the good of the country. Then they went on about how important it was for Biden to be included in daily presidential briefings.

Then it got even more ridiculous. John Brennan, the ex-CIA head under Obama, went on about how he swore to defend his country from enemies foreign and domestic. Then he lit into Trump and said Pence needed to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump before he committed some reckless action. This is clear treason by Brennan. Trump is a lawfully-elected president who not only should contest the election stolen by the commie Brennan and his ilk, but also he deserves to finish out his term if he’s unsuccessful. Brennan wants Trump rushed out of office as soon as possible, probably in order to protect his own backside from a well-deserved prosecution for his involvement in the Democrat-concocted Trump/Russia collusion case, now thoroughly discredited.

Biden has already been congratulated by world leaders. Big deal—it means nothing, but the legacy media want Biden’s election to appear to have a solid foundation. In reality, it rests on shifting sand.

Biden has set up ‘The Office of The President Elect,’ which is laughable. There is no such thing, but the Democrats are heavily underlining Biden’s supposed legitimacy while silencing anyone who questions it. The Democrat legacy media express their incredulity that anyone could possibly question anything less than a squeaky-clean election of Biden. Silicon Valley social media are engaged in their usual censorship of election doubters. Apparently anyone who questions the Democrat narrative are nothing more than ‘conspiracy theorists.’

It’s important for the Democrats to create a mirage of Biden’s presidency. Wishing will make it so. A fait accompli. Or so they hope.

Those hopes need to be dashed. The Democrats ruthlessly stole the presidential election and they must not be allowed to get away with it.

Florida Governor Proposes Bill to Let Citizens Shoot Looters and Rioters

Via The New American

If leftists were calling him “Death Santis” before over COVID-19, he’s doubly earned the nickname now.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R) has prepared an “anti-mob” legislation that would expand the state’s Stand Your Ground law to allow citizens to shoot at looters.

The legislation says it is an attempt to prevent “violent and disorderly assemblies” by permitting violence against anyone involved in the “interruption or impairment” of a business, which the proposal describes as being a burglary within 500 feet of “violent or disorderly assembly.”

Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, passed in 2005, removed the burden of having to retreat first before using force to counter a threat and gave judges more leeway to grant “immunity” to someone they believed acted in self-defense before letting a case get to the jury.

This comes as the year 2020 has been rocked by riots and looting throughout America since the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

DeSantis, a vocal supporter of President Trump, reportedly submitted copies of the legislation to the state’s Senate Committee on Criminal Justice and the House Judiciary Committee, according to the Miami Herald.

The outlet notes that “Other key elements of DeSantis’ proposal would enhance criminal penalties for people involved in ‘violent or disorderly assemblies,’ make it a third-degree felony to block traffic during a protest, offer immunity to drivers who claim to have unintentionally killed or injured protesters who block traffic, and withhold state funds from local governments that cut law enforcement budgets.”

The section of the proposal targeting counties and municipalities that make “disproportionate funding reductions” to law-enforcement agency budgets is likely DeSantis’ way of fighting back against the “defund the police” movement. Under the governor’s proposal, each municipality would need to certify to the state by October 15 that it is not disproportionately cutting law-enforcement agencies’ funding.

BLM Co-Founder to Biden: ‘We Want Something for Our Vote’

Via American Greatness

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors recently wrote a letter addressed to “President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris” requesting a meeting to discuss the radical organization’s expectations and priorities, Fox News reports.

“Without the resounding support of Black people, we would be saddled with a very different electoral outcome,” Cullors wrote on Saturday. “In short, Black people won this election.”

Cullors pressed the duo to give top priority to a “well-thought out, community-driven, fully resourced agenda that addresses the particular challenges faced by Black people.”

Cullors said they “want to be heard and our agenda to be prioritized.”

If Biden and Harris make it to the White House, it remains to be seen if they can make good on their campaign promises – to create a police oversight board to combat police brutality, particularly against Black and minority people, within his first 100 days in the White House.

After the death of George Floyd in May police reform has been at the forefront of American politics this election season. Since Floyd’s death, activists are calling to “defund the police,” a plan Biden has not really shown much support, to the dismay of his more progressive supporters.

During his premature victory speech last week, Biden shouted out his Black supporters and thanked them for their vote.

“The African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I’ll have yours,” Biden said at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del. “I said from the outset I wanted a campaign that represented America, and I think we did that. Now that’s what I want the administration to look like.”

Cullors did not shy away from critiquing Biden and Harris’ individual records on issues of race and reminded them that they both “expressed regrets regarding your record on issues impacting Black people,” and advised them to “take your direction from Black grassroots organizers that have been engaged in this work for decades, with a legacy that spans back to the first arrival of enslaved Africans.”

“We would like to be actively engaged in your Transition Team’s planning and policy work,” Cullors said. “Let’s get to work!”

Ibram X. Kendi: Term ‘Legal Vote’ Is Functionally Racist

Via Breitbart

Critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi declared this week that the expression “legal vote” used to describe votes cast in conformity with U.S. laws is “functionally racist.”

“The term ‘legal vote’ is as fictionally fraught and functionally racist as the terms ‘illegal alien’ and ‘race neutral’ and ‘welfare queen’ and ‘handouts’ and ‘super predator’ and ‘crackbaby’ and ‘personal responsibility’ and ‘post racial,’” Kendi wrote on Twitter.

When Kendi added in a follow-up tweet, “There are so many more terms like this. What did I leave out?” his woke followers jumped on the bandwagon, insisting that any terms questioning the Left’s pet programs are necessarily racist.

According to one eager follower, other racist expressions would include “deadbeat dads,” “death taxes,” “big government,” “socialism,” “radical left,” “gay agenda,” “ivory tower,” “elites,” “looting,” “broken windows,” “pro-abortion,” “anti-religion,” “unwashed poor,” “anti-American,” “open borders,” “anti-police,” and “anchor baby.”

Kendi himself went on to clarify exactly what he meant, insisting that voter recounts in areas where blacks make up a significant portion of the population must also be racist.

“The misinformation of widespread voter fraud — or ‘illegal voting’ — in Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Phoenix where Black and Brown voters predominate is baked into the term ‘legal vote,’” he said. “No matter what GOP propaganda says, there’s nothing wrong with those voters and votes.”

“What makes a term racist is rarely the term’s literal meaning, and almost always the historical and political context in which the term is being used,” Kendi helpfully added, in an assertion that could be roughly translated as “a term is racist if I say it’s racist.”

Septic Trucks Arrive In Washington To Begin Refilling The Swamp.

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Mulitple sources are reporting that Biden-Harris septic trucks are beginning to arrive in Washington to refill the swamp.

Driven by executives from Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, and China, the trucks pulled in and immediately started filling the swamps that were devastated by the Trump administration’s policies. They are a key part of Joe Biden’s transition team, as he’s vowed to begin refilling the swamps on day one of his presidency.

“We are here to repair the enormous damage Trump did to the beautiful swamplands of D.C.,” said Kamala Harris in a speech, as Biden was napping. “It’s absolutely horrifying when you look at how dry and cracked these swamps are.”

“Together with Joe Biden, the Harris administration will make Washington’s swamps great again!” Swampy creatures such as the Swamp Thing, reptiles, and Hillary Clinton were seen slithering back into the quickly refilling reservoirs.

At publishing time, a freight train had been seen heading toward D.C. with attack drones that had been in storage for the last four years.
