The political radicalism and antiwhite racial hostility that prevail on college campuses have infiltrated the “mainstream” media. On Friday, NBC News published a piece promoting the views of University of Baltimore School of Law visiting professor Terry Smith, who holds that voting for Republicans is “racist” and that Big Government can and should step in to prevent it. Hold on for some authoritarian insanity:

Rather than excuse racist voters or try to figure out how to live with their choices, [Smith] argues that racist voting is not just immoral, but illegal. The government, Smith says, has the ability, and the responsibility, to address it. …

Smith argues that it’s in line with the Constitution and with years of court rulings. For example, Smith points out that racist appeals in union elections are illegal and that an election in which one side uses racist appeals can be invalidated by the National Labor Relations Board.

Therefore, the same should hold true in other elections when liberals decide that their opponents are “racists.”

According to Smith, voters who pull the levers to harm black people are violating the Constitution. If the Constitution means that overt racist appeals undermine the legality of union elections, it stands to reason that they undermine the legality of other elections, as well.

Trump made racist appeals by mentioning crime and by promising to defend the US border from foreign invasion. Therefore, his election was unconstitutional.

Furthermore,

Because the majority of white voters in the South vote Republican, and because they outnumber black voters, there isn’t a single Democratic senator from the Deep South other than Doug Jones in Alabama, who may well lose his seat in 2020.

What to do about it? Creating racially gerrymandered Senate “districts” might help. But the main thing is to acquire sufficient power. Then you can do any damn thing you want. Smith advises Democrats to get their claws on that power by packing courts — up to and including the Supreme Court — with extra judges who would do whatever it takes to nullify the votes of deplorable racists.

NBC News concludes:

It’s difficult to address injustice, however, if you’re unwilling to say injustice exists. Politicians and pundits, Republican and Democratic alike, have been unwilling to reprimand voters or hold them accountable. But voters are not well-intentioned innocents who are helplessly manipulated by malevolent leaders. They make important decisions as constitutional actors, for which they have moral responsibility. Racist voting isn’t an accident. It’s a choice that may violate the principles of our Constitution and our legal system. We should say so, and then we should find ways to reduce the harm it causes.

“A republic,” said Benjamin Franklin, “if you can keep it.” We will keep it only so long as we can defend it against the leftists who control the “mainstream” media.

On Thursday, Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ) declined to answer questions from CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju, dismissing him as a “liberal hack”:

The pompous propagandists at CNN were not amused.

CNN has apparently not seen fit to mention Bernie Sanders field organizer Kyle Jurek calling for rich people and Republican voters to be thrown into Stalin-style gulags for reeducation. But Martha McSally calling one of their liberal hacks “a liberal hack” was a big deal warranting lots of coverage:

There you have it; rabid CNN moonbats literally cannot even pronounce the word “dignity.”

Too bad they didn’t respond to the criticism more constructively, by reflecting on why people might think of them as liberal hacks. This could have been a teachable moment for CNN, inspiring it to establish credibility in the public mind.

Instead, CNN narcissistically not to mention unprofessionally chose to make itself and its own snowflakery into the story, its hyperbolic overreaction overshadowing any rudeness by McSally.

It is especially funny to see Jake Tapper blame Trump for creating “this groundswell of media hatred.” The media has done that for itself; CNN has been a major contributor.

Meanwhile, as the liberal hacks at CNN whimper belligerently about their hurt feelings, Liz Wheeler tells us what happened last week:

On a tip from Varla.

Those who relied on the mainstream media during the past week may wonder what actually happened. Liz Wheeler brings them up to date:

• CNN settled with Nick Sandmann after helping to subject the high school kid to a national Two Minute Hate for being a white guy in a MAGA hat.

• Even Dianne Feinstein wanted to know why Pelosi would not cough up the impeachment articles if impeachment is supposedly so urgent.

• Trump did not start WWIII as predicted by becoming the first president to stand up to bullying from Iran.

• New York State continues to tailspin into dysfunction under liberal rule, with the integrity of elections systematically compromised and sociopathic criminals running loose.

• Seventy percent of asylum claims were rejected in 2019, indicating that even our moonbattery-addled judicial system knows the concept of asylum is becoming a joke.

It was a great week for America, with Iran chastised without escalation, its Democrat sympathizers made to look ridiculous, the economy continuing to surge, and funds getting freed to build much-needed border wall. However, we should pause in our celebration to shed a commiserating tear for the mainstream media, for which the week did not go as well. Mark Dice reviews some of the damage at CNN, CNBC, and WaPo:

Taking out Qasem Soleimani was a major coup not only because it put an end to the career of a terrorist soaked in American blood, and not only because it saved any number of American lives by establishing a red line that Iran has proven hesitant to cross (at least until Democrats are back in control). It also helped prevent Dems from taking the helm by exposing their radicalism, anti-Americanism, and guffaw-worthy foolishness.

Pete Buttigieg should be advised that blaming Trump for everything, when Trump is clearly acting in America’s best interest, is the same as blaming America for everything (not that Buttigeek has hesitated to denounce America). Via Daily Mail:

Buttigieg is facing sharp criticism after suggesting the innocent civilians killed in a plane crash shot down by Iran’s military died in a ‘unwanted tit for tat’ between Washington and Tehran.

Ted Cruz responds:

‘Uh, Pete, they weren’t “caught in the middle.” They were shot down BY IRAN. Military incompetence by the leading state sponsor of terrorism,’ he wrote.

‘Just because Dems hate Trump doesn’t justify false equivalence w/ Iran.’

Maybe Buttwhatever thinks Iran was shooting the missile at the USA but the Ukrainian plane happened to get in its path. It wouldn’t be the dumbest thing we’ve heard from him.

At least Mayor Pete didn’t equate killing a terrorist who had been conducting war against the USA for years with assassinating the Vice President:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday defended her opposition to the elimination of Iran’s top general and terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani by likening the action to a hypothetical assassination of the vice president of the United States.

This actually makes sense, from her own point of view. If she can remove Trump through impeachment as she has been clumsily attempting, and get Iran to assassinate Pence, guess who the president would be?

For flat-out crazy, let’s move from the political to the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. There, we encounter the reasoning that since Trump killed him, Soleimani must have been a great guy. Chris Matthews even compared him to Elvis:

“When some people die, you don’t know what the impact is going to be. When Princess Diana died, for example, there was a huge emotional outpouring,” Matthews said on his show Wednesday night.

“Elvis Presley in our culture. … It turns out that this general we killed was a beloved hero of the Iranian people to the point where, look at the people, we got pictures up now, these enormous crowds coming out.”

Matthews is a fool, but not an idiot. He knows turnout is not necessarily spontaneous or even voluntary for events praising dead tyrants in places like Iran. He is nakedly propagandizing on behalf of a terrorist regime sworn to America’s destruction. That makes him not just a jerk but a bad guy.

By the way, Matthews was a speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, who was POTUS the last time Iran tried taking over an American embassy. That time it turned out a lot better for the Iranians, due to a leadership vacuum in the White House.

“Mainstream” media propagandists hold to their narrative like shipwrecked rats clinging to flotsam. When Antifa rioters are arrested and charged for their sociopathic antics, the media spins it as a response to right-wing provocation.

Matt Christiansen reports on the reporting in Seattle:

Antifa must appreciate getting a moral pass from a press that excuses or at the very least downplays even its most brazenly criminal behavior. However, if Antifa types ever take over the country, journalists will still be among the first to face the firing squads.

At least the police in Seattle are making an attempt to keep Antifa violence under control. If only this would spread to Portland.

Time Magazine goes beyond providing propaganda to adults. It advises parents on how to do the same for their children. A recent piece is entitled, “How to Talk to Your Kids About the Situation With Iran.” Here’s what to tell the kids:

Trump has called Soleimani a terrorist. … Trump says Soleimani ordered [recent] attacks.

U.S. military leaders gave Trump several choices for how to respond to Iran’s actions. Killing Soleimani was considered the most extreme. Some top U.S. military and government officials have expressed surprise and concern about Trump’s decision.

Leave them thinking that a drone strike is the most extreme reaction conceivable to acts of war that included killing an American and attacking an embassy, and that Trump inflicted it on some guy who might or might not be a terrorist, ignoring the advice of more reasonable people.

Adults won’t buy it, but kids might.

Here’s my own handy guide on how to talk to your kids about Time Magazine:

Tell them it is run by moonbats, who will side with any enemy against their own country, including terrorist maniacs who want to kill them. Tell them that like the rest of the liberal media, it consists of pernicious spin and vicious lies.

You have probably asked yourself how any intelligent, well-meaning person could support Democrats at this point. The answer is, they become good at lying to themselves. When they can’t do enough lying on their own, they turn to the liberal media for help. In the video below, they learn from Iran state-controlled media via its amplifier MSNBC that Trump really messed up, because 30 Americans were killed in Iran’s deliberately ineffectual gesture of a missile attack:

At least he admitted that he was reporting unconfirmed Iranian propaganda. But why relay information that there is no reason to believe? That begs the question, why watch MSNBC?

Actually, no Americans were killed and there was no major damage. Obama illegally provided the Iranian regime with a fortune to spend on missiles; they have the capability to kill Americans if they want to — or rather, if they dare. Last time they did, their top general got made into spaghetti sauce. That’s why no Americans were killed. If a Democrat were in office, Iran might have made a different calculation.

On a tip from KirklesWorth.

The liberal establishment, which includes not only the Democrat Party but also the news media, has made it obvious that it will stop at nothing to prevent Trump’s reelection, even if it means undermining our system of government or even siding with America’s worst enemy. Tactics already employed by CNN in particular prove that moral qualms will not be an issue. Given recent technological developments, it seems inevitable that fake news will become deep fake news.

Mark Dice provides a heads-up:

If video does surface in October of Trump committing some unforgivable thought crime like uttering the forbidden n-word, skepticism will be in order.

Liz Wheeler keeps us informed on what happened last week, as the moonbat mainstream media attempted to distract us with a transgender mermaid in a bathtub full of rum:

• Second Amendment dramatically saves a church full of lives.

• Trump’s fundraising goes through the roof, probably driven by Democrats’ despicable and alarming impeachment tactic.

• The full scale of the Deep State perfidy regarding Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and the FBI slowly begins to emerge.

• Anti-Semitic violence once again fails to conform to the liberal race narrative in suburban Monsey, New York.

• Rep Al Green (D-TX) admits that it has been Democrat strategy to impeach Trump since before he was elected.

Enjoy New Year’s fireworks while you can. The politically correct intelligentsia has proclaimed them to be uncouth — or as Charles Purcell puts it in the Sydney Morning Herald, “a tasteless display of human excess” and “the worst of human hubris.”

Fireworks even oppress the animals. The annual fireworks over Sydney are spectacular, but…

…it is also possible to behold another view of the fireworks — one through less human-centric eyes.

Because the fireworks also provoke the mass flight of terrified bats from the city. There are silhouettes of startled birds, scared out of their nests. There are the howls of dogs from under their humans’ beds.

All so we can have our yearly bread and circus in the sky.

The shame.

There are also neurotic snowflakes to think about. If “aggressive scents” are enough to trigger them, imagine what fireworks might inflict upon their hypersensitive nerves.

My sympathies go to the people who may find the fireworks traumatic.

Good thing we have self-righteous moonbat killjoys to put an end this outrage. Expect legislation to follow soon.

The Sunday after Christmas was as good a time as any for the militant moonbats at NBC News to bash Christianity. In an attempt to explain how the little people in Flyover Country could be dumb enough not to vote the way media elitists tell them to, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd dug out a year-old letter to the editor to present on the air:

“Why do good people support Trump? It’s because people have been trained from childhood to believe in fairy tales… This set their minds up to accept things that make them feel good…The more fairy tales and lies he tells the better they feel… Show me a person who believes in Noah’s ark and I will show you a Trump voter.”

They are childlike willful dupes. How else to explain their failure to follow the instructions of their betters in the media?

Todd endorsed the letter, enthusing that it supports his executive producer’s view that “voters want to be lied to sometimes. They don’t always want to be told hard truths.” Otherwise, they would accept the hard truths that reality is a meaningless accident and that NBC News knows best.

It would be absurd to accept anything these hostile ideologues tell you at face value.

Moonbats have their own ways of celebrating Christmas. Amanda Marcotte celebrated by denouncing Hallmark Channel Christmas movies as “fascist propaganda.” Teen Vogue celebrated by tweeting links to earlier articles encouraging children to have oral and anal sex:

As noted at NOQ Report, Teen Vogue pushes the envelope even more aggressively than left-wing outlets oriented toward adults (CNN, The New Yorker, Slate, etc). You can push harder with teenagers, because their viewpoint is malleable, their brains are not completely formed, and they don’t have enough life experience to know when they are being lied to or manipulated for corrupt purposes.

Teen Vogue has also pitched prostitution to 13-year-old girls, argued that it doesn’t matter whether men subjected to #MeToo allegations are innocent, and presented abortion as humorous. It portrays American history as a terrible sin and endorses Antifa goons. A more pernicious (not to mention vile) publication would be difficult to imagine — and it targets kids.

Every great culture rises, thrives, and then declines into decay. America is unnecessarily declining ahead of schedule, because the decay is deliberately induced.

Time Magazine chose Greta Thunberg as Person of the Year to advance an agenda. It was not because the mascot of the global warming hoax has had any meaningful influence on the unfolding of history as she barks climate change talking points that we have already heard ad nauseam. Dave Morrison lists five better candidates for the (dis)honor:

• Robert Mueller

• The Impeachers

• The Socialists

• The Podcasters

• The Internet Troll

He makes the cases:

My choice would be the Hong Kong protesters, although how much influence they will have on the world’s future admittedly remains to be seen.

Rebellious types, tired of being bullied, demonized, and treated as second-class citizens on account of their race, have enraged liberal establishmentarians by posting stickers reading, “It’s okay to be white.” This is a Class A thought crime, because the power of the Cultural Marxist ruling class rests on an ideology that requires whites to despise themselves for the accomplishments of their kind.

In light of someone posting the forbidden message on lampposts and drainpipes throughout Perth, Scotland over the weekend, the BBC expresses the mandatory attitude toward the concept that it’s okay to be white with the usual tactic of quoting those we are supposed to agree with.

John Swinney, Scotland’s deputy first minister, calls the notion “atrocious.” Perth Against Racism proclaims that it makes people feel unsafe — a menacing response, when coming from leftists.

An anonymous citizen who I presume probably exists is quoted regarding the stickers:

“It’s sickening and disgusting to know that people think like this.”

No one is quoted asking the obvious question, “Why is it not okay to be white?”

No worries, moonbats; the police are on the case:

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Although no complaint has been made to police regarding these posters, they have been brought to our attention and officers are currently looking into the matter.”

Someone could be in for a stay in George Orwell’s Room 101 if apprehended. Coincidentally, Room 101 “was named after a conference room at the BBC where Orwell would have to sit through tortuously boring meetings.”

Hat tip: Liberty Daily.

The reason leftists constantly get routed in the Meme War is that memes require a sense of humor, which moonbats conspicuously lack. Consider the meme below. It references the Marvel comic book character Thanos, who has the power, according to his creator, to wipe out “half of the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet by snapping his fingers”:

This is grave stuff — or at least it is if you are a Democrat apparatchik. As noted at BlabberBuzz,

What added the humor of the tweet was the reaction from CNN starting with Don Lemon going full Margaret Dumont over it that evening.

Margaret Dumont played a comic foil in Marx Brothers movies. Via Wikipedia:

Dumont’s character would often give a short, startled or confused reaction to [Groucho’s] insults, but appeared to forget them quickly.

Similarly, Lemon is able to forget the horror of Thanos by smugly reminding himself that prior to this Congress, impeachment was regarded as meaningful. Watch and laugh:

Lemon’s CNN colleague Brooke Baldwin was just as hilariously starchy about the goof-off meme.

CNN takes humorous memes directed at itself even more seriously. A meme depicting Trump beating up the CNN logo upset these militantly anti–free speech liberals so much that they used the threat of doxing to coerce an obsequious apology from its creator.
