Watch CNN Propagandists Become Less Ill-Informed

It’s never too late to learn. Even mainstream media apparatchiks who have secured themselves snuggly within the bubble of bosh comprising the liberal narrative are sometimes capable of acquiring new information — though they may have a hard time processing it.

When a mob of illegal aliens brutally beat NYC police officers, were released by liberal authorities, saluted America by flipping us the bird, and then fled to California, even CNN was forced to acknowledge the story. BizPac Review reports on its reporting:

CNN’s Erica Hill and Phil Mattingly were covering the crime sprees in the Big Apple with reports of many offenses being committed by the illegal migrants who have poured into the Big Apple. In a discussion with CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence analyst John Miller, the attention turned to the recent attack on two New York Police officers in Times Square. …

“So what the detectives are telling me is, they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back,” he told the CNN hosts.

“I’m like, ‘Why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?’ They said, ‘Because there you go to jail,’” he said simply, leaving Hill momentarily without words.

“Oh,” she managed to say but was awkwardly silent as Mattingly jumped in to end the segment.

John Miller’s future with CNN may be in jeopardy. Florida has been governed with remarkable effectiveness by Ron DeSantis on countermoonbat principles and is therefore never to be cast in a favorable light relative to places that have succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral like New York.

Haley Gets Scary on Free Speech

Come for the nasty insults, warmongering, and firehose of wasteful foreign aid. Stay with the Nikki Haley campaign for the suppression of free speech:

Haley declared that social media users should all “be verified by their name.”

She suggested that such a move would eliminate Russian, Chinese, and Iranian bots and lead to increased civility because people would know that their name would be associated with their posts.

Hysteria over Russian bots on the Internet isn’t just for Democrats anymore. Haley says remaining anonymous online to prevent getting canceled by tolerant liberals for expressing dissenting opinions is a “national security threat.”

Here’s what the only serious alternative to Trump says:

Mike Pence Blames Republicans for Hamas Terror Attack

Whereas Democrats hold Israel responsible for the Hamas terror blitzkrieg, Mike Pence correctly lays blame at the feet of our ruling party — but then bizarrely also blames his fellow Republicans:

In a tweet, the former vice president placed the onus for the conflict directly on GOP ‘leading voices’ including ex-President Donald Trump, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – the three frontrunners in the Republican primary contest.

Unlike DeSantis, Mike Pence is not a viable alternative to Trump. For the good of the GOP and the country he should get a grip on his ego and go away.

New Mexico Gun Decree Won’t Fly

In a trial balloon for the Democratic Party, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham suspended the Second Amendment by executive order in the name of another supposed health emergency. If this flies, Biden will issue a similar decree. But it won’t fly:

On Sunday afternoon, dozens of gun rights activists gathered in Old Town Albuquerque to voice their displeasure with Gov Grisham’s 30-day suspension of open and concealed carry laws that went into effect in the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Many of the protesters openly displayed their firearms in a deliberate defiance of Grisham’s decree.

Protesters proudly displayed American, Gadsden, and “Come and Take It” flags. A man was holding a sign addressed to Grisham that read: “Our founding fathers warned us about you.” A woman was holding a sign that stated: “Gun rights are women’s rights.”

Local coverage from KRQE:

Ron DeSantis weighs in:

DeSantis slammed the so-called emergency public health order on Saturday morning, “Just a few months after ending the COVID ‘public health emergency,’ the Governor of New Mexico has declared a new ‘public health emergency’: Guns.”

“She is now asserting the power to infringe on Second Amendment rights by executive fiat. This assertion is not surprising — since 2020, ‘public health’ has become a pretext for depriving citizens of civil liberties and trampling on our Constitutional rights,” the Republican presidential candidate proclaimed.

DeSantis declared, “It ends when I am President. Your 2nd Amendment rights SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”

So does fellow patriot Mike Lee:

Lujan Grisham’s decree would be moronic as anything other than an attack on the Constitution. Four lawsuits have been filed against it.

Democrats may realize they overstepped. Leftists Ted Lieu and David Hogg — whose entire reason for public existence is his radical opposition to gun rights — have weighed in against the decree, apparently reading from the same memo passed down from above:

No doubt an executive order has been prepared and awaits Biden’s signature the moment his handlers think they can get away with something like the New Mexico decree without provoking a bloodbath. They know that once we have been disarmed, game over. We will be completely at their mercy — and leftists have no mercy, as they have demonstrated time and again where they have achieved total control.

Encouraging as the pushback has been, the response must be more forceful, or Democrats may conclude they did not overstep after all. Lujan Grisham has committed a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison by attempting to deprive Americans of a constitutional right. She must be removed from office and imprisoned. Anything short of this will signal that we do not take our liberties seriously.

Deep State Comes After Christopher Rufo

At least the CDC, FBI, and Marshals Service ostensibly serve constructive purposes, in addition to operating as enforcement arms of the Democratic Party. Not so with the Department of Education. Watch it come after Christopher Rufo:

Rufo revealed he faces a federal government probe over the way he’s helped take over the New College in Sarasota – with investigators taking a dim view of his refusal to use a former diversity boss’s so-called ‘neo-pronouns.’

Rufo was brought in by his fellow esteemed countermoonbat Ron DeSantis to clean up the moonbattery at this public university.

In the complaint, portions of which Rufo posted to X, he is alleged to have ‘mocked and misgendered New College’s Director of Office of Outreach and Inclusive Excellence (OOIE), Rosario-Hernandez, after ze was summarily fired.’ Rufo referred to the former staffer using female pronouns.

The federal government wants to punish Rufo for asserting biological reality rather than denying it in a show of obeisance to sexual depravity/leftist ideology.

Rufo also stated how the complainants alleged that defunding the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) department and the Gender Studies Program constituted a violation of civil rights law.

Sure it did. “Civil rights” now means “whatever leftists want.”

Federal departments and agencies have come to represent the Democratic Party rather than the American people. The few that are useful need to be purged. The rest must be abolished — starting with the pernicious Department of Education.

$1 Million Bail for Florida Looters

Hundreds of establishment-approved Black Lives Matter riots may have given scumbags the impression that looting is now legal. But their political representatives have not yet consolidated control over the entire country. Consider Florida:

A man and a woman from Palmetto, Florida, almost 200 miles (322 kilometers) south of where Idalia made landfall, were arrested Wednesday after an officer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission heard noises coming from outside a home in Horseshoe Beach.

They were piling belongings from the waterfront home into a rented pickup.

Each suspect was charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling during an emergency, grand theft and trespassing, with bails set for each at $1 million.

Meanwhile, liberals have been abolishing bail in places like New York and Chicago where they have achieved total dominance. That might have allowed the thieves to get back to looting within hours.

Authorities have implemented an 11 p.m. curfew for Horseshoe Beach.

Breaking the curfew so as to engage in antisocial behavior is unlikely to result in extravagant cash payments from the government. Florida isn’t Denver — although it would be on the way to Denver if Ron DeSantis hadn’t squeaked out a win against leftist degenerate Andrew Gillum in 2018.

Disney Encourages Boys to Dress Like Minnie Mouse

Some people don’t get why Ron DeSantis has declared war on Disney, a major employer in his state. This is why:

A culture reengineered by the creeps running Disney will be so disgusting that it will not be allowed to exist. Whether by nuclear attack, the Sweet Meteor of Death, or fire and brimstone directly from God’s hand, the abomination will have to be snuffed out.

Meanwhile, CEO Bob Iger sets eyes rolling by claiming that Disney does not sexualize children. He wouldn’t have to deny it if it weren’t true.

Acceptance of LGBTism Was Only the Beginning

In case you were wondering why esteemed countermoonbat Ron DeSantis plans to abolish the Department of Education (along with the weaponized IRS), listen to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona explain the objective when it comes to instilling depraved LGBT ideology in children:

Barks the conspicuously creepy Cardona, “Acceptance isn’t the ultimate goal; it’s actually the minimum.” The maximum is brainwashed children having their genitals surgically removed in hopes of making them into lifelong perverts — unless Democrats are capable of conceiving of something even more satanic than their current policy.

Note the flag on Cardona’s lapel, the same one we have seen in the dominant position in front of the White House. Old Glory is our flag. Our rulers prefer a different one.

The federal government’s push to LGBTify children extends beyond the Department of Education:

That chilling scene featuring the rabid racist Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke and cross-dressing freakazoid Richard “Rachel” Levine is from a recent event entitled Creating Inclusive and Nondiscriminatory School Environments for LGBTQI+ Students — duckspeak for “Pushing LGBTism on Children.” The federal government prioritizes this as the nation tailspins into debt and decline.

You can’t say they haven’t produced results. Behold the success liberals have had at recasting American boyhood in their image:

That little guy has already learned to love the power that can be wielded in the name of glorified sexual psychosis. I would say he might be a future Democrat POTUS, but by the time he is old enough, his skin color will be a disqualification for the office.

Media Shrieks as LGBT Blitzkrieg Begins to Stall

The gathering backlash is already putting a crimp in sin celebrations. The media responds with hamfisted spin:

A spike in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and threats has taken a heavy toll on pride celebrations in the United States this year, organizers say — especially in states where politicians want to curtail rights.

Having your rights curtailed in this context means being asked not to stage obscene performances in front of children or subject them to hardcore homosexual pornography in school.

This month’s celebrations in Houston, the largest pride event in conservative Texas, have been scaled back due to rising insurance and security costs…

The change was first announced in January as Texas lawmakers prepared bills restricting gender-affirming health care and drag performances. Now, pride planners across the US and Canada say they are facing higher bills because of anti-LGBTQ disinformation and hate.

At long last, the Culture War blitzkrieg is getting bogged down in resistance.

Florida has become a hotspot, with Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican running for president, signing bills this spring banning youngsters from drag shows and restricting how they learn about the LGBTQ community.

That is, DeSantis has been protecting children from obscene performances and from homosexual grooming in school.

“I didn’t realize there was going to be that much of a real shake-up,” said Carrie West, president of Tampa Pride, which in May canceled an outdoor festival after some sponsors said they were worried about running afoul of the new laws.

They say sunlight is the best disinfectant. More from the Sunshine State:

In April, the advocacy group Equality Florida issued an advisory warning for LGBTQ people traveling to the state.

The NAACP, whose leader Leon W. Russell lives in Florida, pulled a similar stunt, inviting similar guffaws.

Pride organizers in St. Cloud, outside Orlando, later canceled this year’s event due to a “climate of fear.”

Pretending to be victimized is the kneejerk response of predators when they encounter resistance. But by now no one outside the liberal bubble buys the bullying perverts as victims narrative.

Kristina Bozanich, a photographer who spearheads the celebration, told AFP the drag performers “didn’t feel safe” after DeSantis signed the Protection of Children Act, which prohibits admitting children into “adult live performances.”

How any decent person could defend subjecting children to adult live performances is left unexplained.

Further south in Port St. Lucie, where an annual pride parade was canceled in April over legal concerns, there has been blowback for others who promote events.

“I did post on one of the Port St. Lucie regular pages on Facebook about our pride party, and people just started making remarks about grooming kids,” said PJ Ashley, president of the nonprofit Sanctuary of the Treasure Coast.

Such remarks are examples of what the author means by “disinformation and hate.” Fortunately, the liberal media has expended the last of its credibility and is taken seriously only by moonbats who seek refuge from reality in an ideological echo chamber.

Chris Christie Worse Than We Knew

Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment was excellent advice: “Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican.” The last thing we want is to help moonbats by firing on each other instead of the enemy while they destroy the country. But what to do when Republicans are moonbats themselves?

Chris Christie has joined the herd of GOP also-rans who are helping to secure Trump’s nomination by diverting votes from Ron DeSantis. Christie stands no chance of winning the nomination himself, which is a blessing, considering his appraisal of past presidents:

Christie admonished George Washington while praising the foreign policy of former President Woodrow Wilson, who has been regarded as one of the worst presidents in history mostly due to his insistence in involving America in World War I and his failure to negotiate a fair peace with Germany, which could have prevented World War II.

Wilson, who opposed the US constitution, has been called the world’s first fascist dictator. Mussolini acknowledged him as a role model. Only Hitler himself was more responsible than Wilson for causing the greatest cataclysm in world history, WWII.

“In 1917, when Europe was at war and dictatorships were taking over the entire continent, and America had followed the admonition of George Washington since its founding to stay out of foreign entanglements, Woodrow Wilson said, ‘no, if America allows Europe to go under dictatorship, we will be next,’” explained Christie. “Franklin Roosevelt said the same thing 24 years later when Hitler and Mussolini and Hirohito decided that dictatorship is what was going to rule the world.”

Few fault Roosevelt for standing up to the Nazis and imperial Japanese. But FDR did more than even Wilson to increase the power of the federal government at the expense of liberty.

George Washington is the gold standard by whom all other leaders should be judged. Comparing the father of our country unfavorably to the personification of federal hypertrophy disqualifies Christie for public office.

Christie’s rhetoric is particularly alarming in light of the recklessly belligerent views some hold regarding Ukraine, a situation that could easily escalate into WWIII if we continue to butt in where we have no business.

As Politico reported, “recent polling suggests the former New Jersey governor is deeply unpopular with Republican voters. He has the highest unfavorable ratings of any candidate in the field. Sixty percent say they would not support him under any circumstances. No other contender has numbers even close to that bad.”

Maybe Christie is angling for his own show on CNN.

Sex Change for Kids at Your Expense

Moonbats will deny that toddlers are receiving horrific sex change treatments, and out of the other side of their mouths tell us that it is good that they are. Both are lies. In North Carolina:

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, East Carolina University, and Duke University have all been identified as medical schools that offer transitioning therapies for toddlers, according to an investigation titled “Transgender toddlers treated at Duke, UNC, and ECU” by Education First Alliance.

Infamously liberal Duke “treats” children as young as 2 years old for allegedly having been assigned the wrong body.

Meanwhile, in Maryland:

Gov. Wes Moore (D) has signed a law requiring Medicaid to cover the costs of medically necessary gender-affirming care for low-income transgender residents.

It could never be medically necessary to transmogrify someone into a grotesque facsimile of the opposite sex. Nonetheless:

Among the types of treatments that Medicaid can cover are: hormone therapy; puberty blockers; hair alterations; voice therapy; alterations to various body parts designed to match someone’s exterior with their gender identity; laser treatment for scars from gender-affirming surgery; fertility preservation procedures, such as sperm banking or egg freezing; and other treatments designed to suppress the development of endogenous secondary sex characteristics. …

Under the bill, any gender-affirming treatments that have been prescribed to a transgender patient in accordance with current clinical standards of care and have been deemed medically necessary must be covered by Medicaid.

As the medical profession succumbs to moonbattery, there should be no problem finding doctors who deem it “medically necessary” to surgically altar the body parts of 2-year-olds on behalf of the LGBT agenda. As with abortion, Big Government is forcing decent people to fund evil.

If Doctor Moreau were still around, he would be taxpayer financed, just like Josef Mengele.

The bill … allows Medicaid dollars to be used to cover gender-affirming treatments for Maryland residents under the age of 18…

Public schools handle disorienting children, brainwashing them with gender ideology, and grooming them as transsexuals. After that, the medical profession is required to lock them in physically, lest they grow out of it.

This ideologically driven sickness is destroying children’s bodies, their minds, and their lives. Democrats are forcing the entire population to take part in crimes against humanity.

Thankfully, there is some pushback:

Florida’s legislature passed a bill Thursday which would punish doctors who perform gender transition surgeries and related procedures on minors, Politico reported.

The bill also prevents state tax dollars from funding sex-change procedures. Regrettably, it does not specify public hanging for those who inflict these procedures on children, but it’s a start.

“If you have a minor child, you should not be doing sex-change operations. You should not be doing puberty blockers. That is wrong, and we’re glad that we put a stop to that in the state of Florida,” Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said during a press conference Friday.

It may not be too late for DeSantis to pull America back from the edge of the abyss. No one else is in a position to do it.

Compare School Reading Lists of California and Florida

As liberals become ever more radicalized, America is splitting apart into two separate societies — one of which has no culture because it is at war with our heritage and has nothing to replace it with but moonbattery. Compare and contrast education in the California of Gavin Newsom and the Florida of Ron DeSantis:

Review the California Department of Education Recommended Literature List to confirm that liberals are indoctrinating kids with left-wing garbage rather than educating them. Then compare it to the classics of world literature listed at Florida’s B.E.S.T.* Standards English Language Arts.

*Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking.

Florida has kids reading Shakespeare in the 7th grade. Blue state liberals have children investigating the world of sexual perversion from kindergarten.

In light of the comparison, no sane parent would rather have their child educated in California than Florida.

If Western Civilization survives despite the woke generation, it will be because of the sort of people who run Florida, and despite the sort of people running California.

Which way will America go? That’s up to voters — Republican primary voters in particular.

Nancy Pelosi Contributes to Trump Indictment Farce

The collapse of our judicial system into hyperpoliticized farce is further advanced by the announcement by Nancy Pelosi that Donald Trump has the right to prove his innocence against preposterous charges cooked up by a Soros stooge DA:

If you can believe that the grand jury acted appropriately regarding the facts and the law, maybe you can believe we live in a tinpot dictatorship where the accused have to prove they are innocent, rather than the prosecution proving they are guilty. This would necessitate not have made it through 6th grade civics class.

The farcical aspect of Trump’s indictment for a previously abandoned misdemeanor is not a bug but a feature.

No serious person thinks Alvin Bragg — who is infamous for letting real criminals run free — has a credible case against Trump. Yet even if Bragg is an Affirmative Action moron, he presumably takes orders from George Soros, who placed him in office. The explicitly anti-American Soros is also far and away the #1 funder of the Democratic Party. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Soros is evil but not stupid. The objective is not to put Trump in prison, but to rally Republican support behind him.

Democrats are not afraid of Trump. On the contrary, they are eager to run against him, because as the catastrophic failure of Trumpian candidates in the 2022 midterms made obvious, he is no longer electable. They are afraid of Ron DeSantis.

The more outrageous the Trump indictment, the more certain Trump is to be the nominee in 2024. That’s why Democrats aren’t even trying to make this look reasonable.

Race Ideology Rammed Down Kids Throats at School

It isn’t only on the playground that kids have Black Lives Matter ideology imposed on them at school:

A woke teacher has sparked fury after mocking Florida’s CRT rules by forcing his white students to act as slaves for black pupils.

The Florida educator also hit out at the state’s recent push to ban certain books from classrooms by sarcastically screaming at the children while throwing their books around his classroom. …

His bizarre protests come as Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to crack down on critical race theory in school curriculums across the state.

The education establishment lets this guy teach children:

In another Florida classroom, preschoolers were made to wear blackface in honor of the 28 days of neurotic self-flagellation by white liberals known as Black History Month.

The purpose of public education is to promote the twin obsessions of our cultural Marxist ruling class: LGBTism and critical race theory.

This is what passes for education with moonbats in control:
