The truth about the Charlottesville demo

Posted on by

Was reminded by The Outsiders today – during which they gave our very own Alan Moran twenty minutes to discuss the multi-billion dollar cost of green energy to Australian consumers – but also discussed the outright lies of the media and the American left over what Donald Trump had said about the demonstrators in Charlottesville in 2017. No lie ever grows old and cold on the left since they are utterly closed to reason and debate. Joe McCarthy in the early 1950s was absolutely right about communist infiltrators in the American State Department, which has been proven beyond any possibility of refutation – see <a href=”https://www.c-span.org/video/?201983-1/blacklisted-history”>Blacklisted by History</a> by N. Stanton Evans if you are still in any doubt.

That the left lies without impunity – counting on the ignorance and will to disbelieve of their voting sub-class – is perfectly demonstrated by the distortions and outright lies that have been embedded within their communal mythology. They will still be saying the same in fifty years from now and will be being repeated by the same clueless clowns then as are repeating it now.

Here is the actual press conference:

There were a lot of lessons learnt by the President about the media he was dealing with on that day. I just wish more people appreciated that if you read it in the mainstream press or hear it on the mainstream media, you must assume an anti-Trump bias that will be evident at least 90% of the time if you do any research yourself, and obviously research that is outside what has been reported by the mainstream media itself.

<strong>AND FROM OF ALL PLACES:</strong> <a href=”https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/08/23/bbc-fact-checks-joe-biden-for-charlottesville-very-fine-people-hoax/”>BBC Fact-checks Joe Biden for Charlottesville ‘Very Fine People’ Hoax</a>.

<blockquote>In <a href=”https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/08/20/fact-check-joe-biden-repeats-the-very-fine-people-hoax-at-dnc/”>reality</a&gt;, Trump said the neo-Nazis should be “condemned totally,” a fact that was <a href=”https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/08/08/watch-breitbart-news-confronts-joe-biden-about-misquoting-trump-on-charlottesville/”>brought directly to Biden’s attention</a> more than a year ago.

Biden persists in making the false claim, and the U.S. media did not fact-check it Thursday. But the BBC <a class=”x5l” href=”https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53858940&#8243; target=”_blank” rel=”noopener external noreferrer”>did</a> (original emphasis):

<blockquote><strong>Claim 3: President Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides”, when asked about a far-right rally in 2017.</strong>

Mr Biden said one of his goals would be to “wipe out the stain of racism” and he recalled the far-right protests in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 which led to violent clashes and left one counter-protester dead.

He said: “Remember what the President said when asked, he said there were, quote, very fine people on both sides”.

Mr Biden said that after this moment “I knew I had to run” for president.

According to a <a class=”story-body__link-external x5l” href=”https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-infrastructure/&#8221; target=”_blank” rel=”noopener external noreferrer”>transcript of a press conference</a> on 15 August, President Trump did say – when asked about the presence of neo-Nazis at the rally – “you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”

During the same press conference, Mr Trump went on to say “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”</blockquote>
Most major media outlets — including Fox News — failed to point out that Biden was lying Thursday.</blockquote>

The left never forgets, especially the things that never happened.

What you will never see in the media about the Dem Convention

Dissecting Obama’s Delusional DNC Speech
American Thinker, by Jack Cashill Original Article
Barack Obama’s speech at the DNC’s misbegotten cyber-convention worked only for those Americans, including most in the media, who paid no serious attention to the eight years of Obama’s presidency. (snip) What follows are some of the riffs that I, and likely they, found most entertaining. Obama began by telling us the Constitution “wasn’t a perfect document,” implying that he would have done better had he been there. (snip) Here was one of my favorite Obama lines: “Joe knows the world, and the world knows him.” No one denies that, especially not the Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.

Biracial Kamala’s appeal to the Dems’ African American base?

[Disclaimer: the author makes no pretense of speaking for African Americans. All who believe that racial heritage dictates the parameters of acceptable speech are cautioned to read no further. Any triggering that results from continuing beyond this point is solely the responsibility of the reader.] Does anyone believe that if she were white, Kamala Harris would have been chosen as Joe Biden’s veep? (snip) Kamala Harris, daughter of Tamil and Jamaican immigrants, was deemed by Biden’s handlers to be acceptably melanin-rich. After all, Barack Obama was also biracial and passed muster

Biden Repeats Charlottesville Lie in Dishonest and Divisive DNC Acceptance Speech
American Greatness, by Debra Heine Original Article
Former Vice President Joe Biden formally accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president Thursday night in a deeply dishonest speech that repeated the Charlottesville lie.Biden never misses an opportunity to fulminate against the torch-carrying neo-nazis and their bulging veins, but besides lying about President Trump’s “very fine people” comment, he also grossly mischaracterized the events of that day to suggest that the violent antifa and BLM counter-protesters were—well—very fine people.“History has thrust one more urgent task on us,” Biden said toward the end of his divisive speech. “Will we be the generation that finally wipes out the stain of racism

The DNC stands for ‘Did Not See!’
Boston Herald, by Howie Carr Original Article
Admit it — you didn’t watch any of the just-completed Democrat convention from the basement. Neither did I. All these seventy- and eighty-year-old hacks — if I want reruns from the 60’s and 70’s, I’ll just watch MeTV. I get it — Democrats don’t like Orange Man Bad. Trump is an “existential” threat, as the governor of New Mexico (among many others) said. These people want to raise my taxes, open the borders, take away my health insurance and give it to illegal aliens for free, make sure those rolling blackouts in California go nationwide, defund the police, wreck my neighborhood and let all the rapists and murderers out of prison

Convention Wrap Up: Dems Keep Joe Biden’s Agenda Hidden In The Basement
Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Original Article
A live audience wasn’t the only thing missing from the Democratic National Convention this year. So too was any substantive discussion of Joe Biden’s agenda should he win the White House. Has there ever been a political convention so utterly devoid of substance? In her mercifully brief speech on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton said that: “Everyone has a story about Joe’s thoughtfulness and empathy.” Apparently, team Biden required everyone who spoke at the convention to tell their stories. Almost none made it through their few minutes or airtime without exclaiming how empathetic, thoughtful, trustworthy — and other descriptions you normally hear at

Rolling blackouts, no Uber, businesses flee — California is Democrats’ dream for America
Washington Examiner, by Tiana Lowe Original Article
After spending the bulk of his lieutenant governorship waging war against California’s last remaining nuclear power plant, Gov. Gavin Newsom is begging residents to turn up their thermostats as the state battles excruciating heat waves, roaring wildfires, and now, state-sanctioned blackouts to preserve its worst-in-America power grid. California’s power is not as carbon-efficient as clean nuclear energy, nor is it as cheap as traditional mass fossil fuels. If you’re looking to drink your problems away at your favorite dive bar, too bad; Newsom shut the indoor dining rooms. If you want to sit on a patio, you have to seek out the establishments that survived the state’s shutdown.

Hatred, Prejudice and Rage
Power Line, by John Hinderaker Original Article
That phrase is President Trump’s, and it sums up today’s Democratic Party very well. This highly effective ad focuses on the Democrats’ tyrannical efforts to control every aspect of our lives:(Snip for tweet with link) I am becoming increasingly optimistic about this year’s election. It seems obvious that the Democrats have gone far overboard, and are alienating huge segments of the electorate. There is indeed a pro-arson, pro-looting faction, but it can hardly comprise a majority. The Democrats seem to think that Trump hatred can drag even a pitiful candidate like Joe Biden across the finish line, but Americans have never been haters. Not a majority of them, anyway.

Final Day of the Democrat Pros and Cons — As PR Pros Combine to Con America
American Spectator, by Dov Fischer Original Article
Julia Louis-Dreyfus has played a make-believe Vice President on TV. She begins our night by sharing small talk with Andrew Yang, the recently failed Democrat presidential candidate. Their repartee falls flat. Clunk. Julia tries to be funny. She mocks the pronunciation of Mike Pence’s name, with the implication that conservatives will reject Kamala Harris because her first name is not a classic White Anglo-Saxon Protestant name. But it simply does not resonate. We have elected for President someone with the name “Barack.” Someone with the name “Hussein.” Even someone with the name “Obama.” Twice. So, no, it is not about an exotic name.

Hunter Biden Vouches For Joe
Biden’s Honesty During DNC
Daily Caller, by Marlo Safi Original Article
Hunter Biden and his younger sister Ashley Biden lauded their father for his honesty, care and principles during the Democratic National Convention Thursday night. “We want to tell you what kind of president our dad will be,” Hunter said. The two siblings go on to describe their father’s admirable characteristics. “He will be tough,” Ashley said. “And honest.” “He’ll tell you the truth when you don’t want to hear it,” she added(Tweet/Video) President Donald Trump criticized Hunter over his work with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings while his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, pressured the country’s former president to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the firm.

Donald Trump discusses the Democrat Convention

It lasts over an hour but you get the point early and can stop even after only ten minutes and understand much of what he is getting at. Below is Slow Joe’s acceptance speech which I haven’t been able to steel myself to watch.

First response.

HAVING WATCHED BIDEN’S SPEECH: It was the most dishonest speech I have ever heard. Not just platitudes, although there were plenty of those. Not just insincerity, because there was lots of that. It was a speech crafted out of the same lies that brought Obama into the presidency – built out of what most people would like, but without a policy proposal to bring any of it around. I can only hope what once worked for Obama will not work here, that they will not be suckered a third time, and that a gap large enough for Donald Trump to overcome the level of cheating will be the final result.

The worst president of my lifetime discusses the best

The above is the shorter version. The one below is the full speech in all its horror.

And the only thing that Obama can talk about is the colour of his skin because that was his only claim to office, that he would be someone who could unite the nation. Obviously he could not since he did not. But here, in this speech, he does what he does best, divide the country along racial lines. He is a disgusting man who will, with the coming election, end up in the obscurity he deserves or be part of the greatest political disaster to overtake Western Civilisation.

The following is Victor Davis Hanson talking with Tucker Carlson about Michelle Obama’s speech the previous day which is filled with the same hate and division, based on the same racial accusations, when it is they who are the most despicable racists.

This is the core of the Democrat party since they literally have nothing positive to offer in any respect about any issue. This is Trump’s reply to Michelle.

The ObamaBiden Administration was the most corrupt in history, including the fact that they got caught SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, the biggest political scandal in the history of our Country. It’s called Treason, and more. Thanks for your very kind words Michelle!

Looking back into history, the response by the ObamaBiden team to the H1N1 Swine Flu was considered a weak and pathetic one. Check out the polling, it’s really bad. The big difference is that they got a free pass from the Corrupt Fake News Media!

Somebody please explain to @MichelleObama that Donald J. Trump would not be here, in the beautiful White House, if it weren’t for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama. Biden was merely an afterthought, a good reason for that very late & unenthusiastic endorsement…..

….My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!

Every election is pivotal. This one more than any other I have ever witnessed.

Tense scenes in Melbourne

Posted on by

Among all of the many other failings Daniel Andrews has, he is also a bad liar.

There are tense scenes in Melbourne, as Daniel Andrews answers questions about him claiming one in four people weren’t at home when they were doorknocked.

Victoria Police found that less than one per cent were breaking the rules.

Mr Andrews was asked whether or not he regrets going so hard on Victorians and making it appear that so many were doing the wrong thing.

It led to a tense back-and-forth lasting almost eight minutes.

Here’s some of the exchange;

Andrews; I indicated they weren’t at home. They weren’t at home. We didn’t issue on-the-spot fines. We referred it to Victoria Police. It is their job to determine and investigate whether people had a lawful excuse not to be at home.

Just as I foreshadowed, we didn’t assume that they weren’t all doing the wrong thing. There was, as I said the time, it could be you choose not to answer the door.

You might be isolating at another house. The address for you might be wrong. It might be as [the police] put it yesterday, you might be out the back in a shed. There are lots of different reasons.

Reporter; I suppose it is misleading because a lot of Victorians assumed so many more people were breaching isolation when it is less than 1 per cent.

Andrews; Again, I’m not here to ask you questions but if I might be permitted to do that, how is it misleading to inform the community that when somebody from the army and somebody from the health department knocked on the door, there was no no-one who answered it? How is that misleading?
Reporter; I suppose it is misleading because actually less than one per cent of people were not doing the wrong thing? That’s a massive part of it?

Andrews; Well, that might be a fair point if we had said that it was our view that every single one of those people were doing the wrong thing.

Reporter; This was three days before stage 4 was announced. It was a big part of the announcement on stage 4 lockdown that – in fact, in the media release it says, “I know Victorians are with me when I say too many people are not taking this seriously and too many people are not taking this seriously means too many other people are having to plan funerals for those they love.”

Andrews; Yes.

Reporter; So I suppose that points the finger at Victorians doing the wrong thing and we now know it is far less Victorians doing the wrong thing? :We thought it could have been as high as one-in-four were breaching self-isolation. We now know it was less than one per cent. Why did you make that such a big part of your announcement during stage 4 lockdown instead of, say, that your Government’s failures in hotel quarantine?

Andrews; So, that’s the real question. I’m sorry, we were building up to that. I’ve acknowledged there have been mistakes made. I’ve set up an inquiry to give us the answers that we need. I – I think we’ve now got to the real question. And I think what I’ve done, what I’ve said all the way along is consistent…

Reporter; OK. I won’t ask about hotel quarantine…

Andrews; You can.

Reporter; Why did you blame Victorians on the day you were announcing stage 4 lockdown?

Andrews; I didn’t do any such thing

Reporter; You did use the words you were frustrated that such a large majority of people weren’t following the rules. I understand you don’t like the question but it is a valid point

Andrews; No, it is not a question of whether I like the question or not. That’s completely irrelevant, and not necessarily accurate.

Mr Andrews finished by saying; “I don’t accept the conclusion that you’re drawing about blame. I don’t accept any of those – they’re not – they’re not factual, in that they are your view.

“You’re entitled to your view, I don’t share that view. I try to be as frank and direct as I can.”

But admitting he screwed up will never be part of anything he ever says, as big a screw-up as he actually and undoubtedly is. Not to mention: Melbourne’s coronavirus testing centres idle as state records 240 cases, 13 deaths. This is how the article begins:

Thousands of Victorians have recovered from coronavirus, with the state’s active cases dropping by 2291.

There were 7155 active cases on Wednesday, but the number dropped to 4864 on Thursday.

Good news, no doubt, which only emphasises the incompetence in which CV-19 has been handled at pretty well every level. Surely someone was arguing for a more moderate approach, because if not, the whole lot of them should be replaced.

We are governed by political morons and hysterics

We have seen for ourselves how fragile our freedoms are. The question is what should we do to build in restraints?

My own thoughts on this are that a lockdown of this kind should trigger an automatic election within three months, and if the lockdown continues, that elections should be held every twelve months after that until the lockdowns end.

In the meantime, we are being governed by hysterics and fools without even a hint of sense and judgment.

Five PDT ads

It’s just starting but here we begin with this: Five Trump Ads. You should go to the link to see them all, but here’ one.

How anyone can even think of voting for Biden and Harris is beyond me. Not just no sense of danger, but no sense at all. And you might also have a look at this: The Biden-Harris Levitation which begins:

Each week in the inexorable march to Election Day, it becomes more challenging to believe how the campaign is unfolding and to rationalize it as a serious process for choosing the leader of the world’s greatest nation. After some reflection, it becomes clear that the extreme improbability of this process is the result of it not really being a race between two pairs of candidates for national office. It is surely the last round in the great battle between Donald Trump and the national political media.

Trump’s ostensible opponents, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, are a spavined political wheel-horse who came in fifth in the New Hampshire primary and a vice presidential nominee who flamed out ignominiously two months before the Iowa caucuses. They are a matched pair of bombed-out losers; Biden was retrieved by the party elders in desperation that otherwise the Democratic candidate would be Marxist Senator Bernie Sanders. They salvaged Biden and Biden salvaged Harris from the pre-primary ash heap.

Democracy is undoubtedly the worst form of political system except for all of the others that have been tried from time to time.

LET ME ADD THIS FROM INSTAPUNDIT:

MICHAEL ANTON: THE CASE FOR TRUMP.

Yes, President Trump enjoys the overwhelming loyalty of Republican voters—but his hold on Republican donors, and especially officials, is much more tenuous. He ran against them and won—and most of them will never forgive him. They play nice to his face and undermine him behind his back. That’s before we even get to the ones in open rebellion. No president—Democrat or Republican—has ever come to power facing organized efforts by his own party’s middle management to tally lists of people declaring on the record that under no circumstances will they work for the incoming administration. It’s been hard, to say the least, to staff up when a good chunk of the party is dead-set against their leader, and nearly all the rest spent their careers furthering policies diametrically opposed to those he ran—and won—on.

And that’s just President Trump’s ostensible own side. Then factor in all his open enemies from the other party, and virtually every other power center in our society, plus the steadfast opposition of the so-called “deep state”—i.e., the very federal bureaucrats whom he was elected to oversee and direct. Viewed from this angle, one may fairly wonder how it’s been possible for him to accomplish anything at all.

More fundamentally: where do you think the country would be without him?

In the crapper.

PLUS THIS COMMENT:

Peter Smith

Generally, I am cynical about blaming governments and absolving the populace that puts them there. For example, many say, it’s not the Chinese people who are to blame but their communist government. I don’t buy it. There is usually something rotten in a culture that produces corrupt or despotic government. America faces a test in November. If Biden and Harris are elected it will say a lot about the drift of the American population, taken as a whole, towards the dark side. This might be put down to immigration and the changing racial and cultural makeup of the population. However, there are too many multigenerational Americans sticking to the Dems as they drift further and further to the woke left to blame it on immigration. We shall see. The result will tell us whether western civilisation is likely doomed or whether there is still a chance.
