‘Fake news’ is a real thing
President Trump complains frequently of the “fake news” handed out by the nation’s main stream media.
Undoubtedly, other presidents in the past have been dissatisfied with the press coverage they received.
There was “fake news” during the Obama administration.
The only difference was that a fawning national media could find nothing wrong with the numerous spurious actions of the Obama-Biden administration.
At an earlier point in American history, the national media did follow the old newspaper line: “Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted (or whatever it was Mr. Dooley said). They didn’t encourage rioting and looting.
The job of an honest media is to spotlight corruption in government so that citizens will know who and what they are voting for and against.
We don’t have any way of knowing what the game plan of the major media is, The Times and Free Press being only a small paper in flyover country, but it appears that our national media are as determined to “basically transform” America (into a left-wing oligarchy) – President Obama’s dream.
There is little doubt that the rest of the world has been jealous of America’s success and influence for generations.
Rather than emulating this nation’s constitutional individual rights of life, liberty and property for citizens, too many other regimes seek to destroy America’s historic system of putting citizens in charge by undermining the American government through planting spies in government agencies and spinning a web of deceit through socalled news outlets.
Deep State Exposed
Former acting director of National Intelligence, Richard Grennell, has revealed the maneuvers of the deep state while exposing the illegal and formerly unknown machinations at top levels of the Department of Justice and FBI.
Grennell, who took several steps to declassify information, including some related to the Obama administration’s spying on the 2016 Trump campaign, served as acting DNI until former Rep. John Ratcliffe was sworn in.
Grennell says he was subject to the usual rumor and innuendo passed off as legitimate reporting by the major media.
Grennell’s fight with the press continued “when he went to war with Politico,” Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedard noted.
Politico had reported that Grennell was taking a top spot in the 2020 Trump campaign.
Politico’s Natasha Bertrand, who is also an on-air personality for NBC and MSNBC, tweeted that Grennell was “joining the Trump campaign in a senior role focused on fundraising and strategy.”
Grennell responded to the since-deleted-tweet: “Fake news. Do you even check before writing? What has happened to Washington DC media?!” Free Press News Service reported:
Free Press News Service reported:
After Politico doubled down on its story, Grennell tweeted to the leftist outlet’s spokesperson: “The entire story isn’t true. And your response is scary – you don’t believe the campaign denial nor mine. But claim you have some anonymous source. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?”
“Delete the story. It’s false,” Grennell tweeted, adding, “Why isn’t @Twitter fact checking Politico? This story is wrong.”
Trump Win Is Free America’s Hope
Even if President Trump wins re-election, which could save a constitutional America, it seems likely that the big media, which appears more and more to be financed by anti-American interests, will continue to attack the Trump administration, which stands in its way of transforming America to its desired weaker status.
President Trump has expressed confidence he can break down the deep state.
At least half of America prays that he does.
It might well save the nation.
Who Pulled the Trigger?
The national uprising over the police-caused death of a Minneapolis black man appears to have been a coordinated effort.
The supposed protest quickly turned into mob rioting that caused injury and destruction in many large cities.
That the man who was killed in an abysmal act of thuggery – Americans are together on that. The offending officer has been fired and charged with murder.
But the riots, burning and looting that followed are not constitutionally-protected protest and redress actions.
They are criminal acts.
The New York City Police Department’s terrorism commissioner sees indication of a concerted action.
There is a high level of confidence within the NYPD that the anarchist groups organized scouts, medics, and supply routes of rocks, bottles and accelerants for breakaway groups to commit vandalism and violence, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller said, according to New York’s NBC 4.
“There are strong indicators the anarchists planned for violence in advance using at times encrypted communications,” Miller said.
Unlike other terrorist activities, no one has claimed credit for them. We could cite the usual suspects but the plan has been carried out so carefully there’s really nothing to base an accusation on. Most of us could probably come up with a suspect.
Coordinated Attack
It’s unreasonable to think that thousands of individuals could have decided independently to go out and burn and steal private property, much of it owned by black business people.
The nation-wide rioting appears to be an obvious attempt by the left to create disarray in the nation during this presidential election year, hoping to find some way to unseat President Trump.
If the cause of the rioting was about racism as the major media claims repeatedly, why would the left-wing administrations in Minneapolis and Minnesota not have rooted it out by now.
Columnist Patrick Buchanan reports that Minnesota has been ruled by leftist administrations for decades.
Look at the people they send to Congress, such as AOC and Amy Klobucher.
And before that the supposed comedian who became a senator temporrily, Al Franken.
Minnesota’s relatively recent Democratic presidential candidates have all been leftists: Eugene McCarthy, Hubbert Humphrey, Walter Mondale.
Floyd Family Asks Calm
Many in the black community, including the victim George Floyd’s family members have called for an end to the rioting and looting.
Terrence Floyd, George Floyd’s younger brother, called for an end to the violent protests, rioting and looting that have been carried out in his brother’s name.
“[S]ometimes I get angry, I want to bust some heads, too,” Terrence Floyd told ABC News. “I wanna just go crazy. But I’m here. My brother wasn’t about that. My brother was about peace. You’ll hear a lot of people say he was a gentle giant.”
George Floyd’s son made a similar plea.
It is encouraging that those most deeply hurt by the ridiculous police action are so level headed.
Terrence Floyd also was quoted as saying this:
“Don’t tear up your town, all of this is not necessary because if his own family and blood is not doing it, then why are you?”
“If his own family and blood are trying to deal with it and be positive about it, and go another route to seek justice, then why are you out here tearing up your community?”
