Once Again, Truth Is Not A Left Wing Value

Folks, listen to me well. I don’t know how else to say this except to say it plainly. You may think this is just partisan rhetoric—an attempt to make the other side look bad—but I assure you, that’s not what this is about. This is about driving a point home, again and again, until it registers. You cannot afford to miss this. It’s that important.

So here it is, one more time. Are you ready? Truth is not a left-wing value.

Now, I’m not saying the left lies. Telling lies is a human flaw. People from every ideology lie. That’s human nature. What I am saying—just in case you missed it the first thousand times—is that truth is not a cherished principle of the left. In fact, it’s often a hindrance to their agenda. Truth offends them. And when it doesn’t align with their messaging, they treat it like a medieval townsperson treated the Black Death in the 14th century—slam the shutters, light a candle, and pray it goes away before it infects the whole narrative.

Let me be clear: my claim isn’t emotional. It’s not driven by hate. I’m not trying to smear anyone. This isn’t me doing what the left does—pulling accusations out of thin air and branding their opponents as threats to democracy, misogynists, xenophobes, and so on. (Which, by the way, is part of their strategy: weaponizing lies).

No, this is based on hard, undeniable evidence. Case in point: the Government shutdown. For the past 40 days, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has passed a continuing resolution to keep the government open. In the Senate, every Republican except one has voted to pass it. If only a simple majority were needed, the bill would’ve passed. But because it requires 60 votes, at least eight Democrats needed to join the Republicans.

Fourteen times, Senate Republicans voted yes. Fourteen times, Senate Democrats voted no—except for three of their members. So despite the House passing the bill and the Senate having over 52 Senators voting yes, the government remains shut down because Democrats refused to cross the aisle.

And yet, both leaders of the Democrat minority have the audacity to insist this is a Republican shutdown. Do you understand the kind of cajones it takes to sell a lie like that? But because truth matters so little to them, they gave it their all. They went after it with gusto. Even after being confronted by many of their allies in the legacy media, they clung tighter to the lie—trying to convince everyone that despite using the filibuster to block the vote, it’s still somehow the Republicans’ fault.

My friends, that takes nerve. That requires a kind of flagrant, in your face bravado that is theatrical in its dishonesty. The kind that looks you dead in the eye, spits out the lie, and dares you to flinch. But we’ve seen this allegiance to lies before, haven’t we?

Most recently, in the death of Charlie Kirk (not to go off script to much, just to make the point with something that is still relatively fresh). To justify their lack of humanity, to give cover to their indecency and moral vacancy, they lied—twisting his words, trying to distort his legacy, and slandering his character. Not because they believed what they were saying, about him, but because the truth didn’t serve their narrative. So they just lied. And that’s the point. Lies aren’t just a flaw that surfaces from time to time. For the left, they are a tool. A strategy. A way of life.

Don’t ever forget that—or you do it at your own peril.

Remember How The Left Treated Trump

As the left continues to pontificate and pretend that they are better than the rest of us, don’t forget that during Trump’s inauguration leftist mobs raged and rioted on the streets of Washington D.C. They smashed cars, and store fronts. They got in violent confrontations with the police. They set cars on fire, and damaged police vehicles.

Who can forget the dramatic picture of a stretch limo that was set on fire by the marauding hordes of protestors? By the time it was over the police had arrested over 200 agitators.

The mob did not restrict their actions to Washington D.C. though, they took their protests to cities across America during the inauguration. How about when on the day after the inauguration, leftist agitators shouted “not my President?” They blocked highways and other roadways, and in Portland they even caused the delay of trains.

After Trump was inaugurated the FBI put out information to the media about a supposed dossier that showed Trump paid prostitutes to pee on a bed on which Obama had slept, then based on absolutely nothing they launched a three year attack accusing Trump of being a Russian stooge (the investigation was not launched because of the “Russia if you are listening statement” during the campaign).

67 Congresspeople refused to attend his inauguration. Members of Hollywood, and a member of the Obama administration called for military action against him.

Democrats and the leftist news media proceeded to call Trump all sorts of names. Even former spy chiefs James Clapper and Paul Brennan were all over the airwaves, suggesting and saying that Trump is a Russian asset. For the entire four years that Trump was President they never let up from their attacks. To this day Hillary Clinton continues to refer to Trump’s tenure as President as illegitimate.

We had Maxine Waters encouraging people to get aggressive and harass members of Trump’s team in gas stations, theaters, and supermarkets. Wearing a MAGA hat became a potential hazard to the wearer. Celebrities were on Twitter and all over the media competing to see who could attack Trump in the most vile manner. Many openly spoke of how delighted they would be if he died a violent death.

The Democrats did everything in their power to sabotage Trump’s every move. They could not even rejoice when he killed two of the most violent terrorists responsible for the deaths of Americans across the globe. Even that was an occasion for them to criticize Trump.

They called Trump every nasty name in the book. For the entire four years of his Presidency, Tump was unable to find any cooperation from the Democrat Party. They railed, and they railed, and they railed against him down to his last days.

They impeached him for asking the leader of Ukraine to “interfere in the Presidential election.” There was nothing in the transcript of Trump’s call with the Ukrainian President that showed any such request. There was literally no discussion about the elections in the call that the Democrats accused him of making, but that’s not all.

In a hurried manner, they impeached Trump for purportedly inciting an insurrection, without affording him any opportunity to defend himself. This happened over the period of a few days. No one could produce any video, audio or any evidence of Trump inciting the so called insurrection, but that did not matter. Dirtying up Trump on his way out as much as they could was the goal.

This is not even a quarter of the story. Make sure to remember all of this. Don’t be vindictive. Do not resort to their tactics, but certainly do not play by their rules.

Now they are going after Trump in the courts in a way that we never thought we’d see in America, while they gas light us telling us all of this is normal procedure.

Don’t let these people lecture you.

The Trump Phenomenon And The Effort To Take Him Out

Ladies and gentlemen, when Donald Trump announced his run for President, I too, began to laugh. I’m talking about rib tickling, side splitting, thigh slapping, head flinging, stomach holding, rolling on the ground laughter. I guffawed like you could not imagine.

Then I observed the way the establishment responded to him. Sure he was outlandish. He was crude at times. He was rude at other times, and he certainly did not possess the aura of what we call Presidential.

It was obvious the guy is a joke, but come on, the process will weed out the pretenders like him, and the best man will be left standing tall.

In the early days when leftists tried to disrupt his campaign at rallies, it was hard to believe when Trump told his supporters at one time that he would pay their legal defense bills, when some of his supporters physically went after a few of the unhinged lefties at the rallies.

Was this guy really encouraging violence?

That is crazy!

The media rightly took him to task for that, then he corrected it before it really got out of hand.

Here’s the irony though, after that, the people at Trump rallies often became the targets of violent leftist attacks, and the same media that was so rightly outraged at the couple incidents of mild by comparison attacks on leftist agitators, refused to cover leftist violence against Trump supporters with the same vigor.

Trump was the only candidate physically attacked on stage, and his supporters suffered some really brutal attacks throughout the campaign. The San Jose rally comes to mind.

What was the reason for the one sided approach by the media?

Then there was the “Russia if you are listening” comment by Trump.

One could only think, this guy is out of control!

Trump was obviously making the point that Hillary’s private e-mail was exposed to foreign surveillance, and was a national security risk because she did not have any of the network protections/security that is usually in place for such high level Government employee communications, but seriously, that comment by Trump was way out there.

There was no way he could win right?

Then after starting to pay attention, and listening to what he was actually saying, minus the side show stuff, the guy made the most sense of all the candidates.

These were just a few of the things Trump spoke on:

NATO countries not meeting their financial obligations while America fits most of the bill.

The rise of ISIS and the policies that were hindering the Military defeating this threat.

China’s unfair trade practices and their constant theft of American intellectual property.

American’s endless wars.

The climate nonsense stifling the economy and preventing America from gaining energy independence.

The porous border and a failing immigration system.

The substandard circumstances, and living conditions of too many black people.

When it came to policy, Trump was on target.

His comments about illegal immigrants coming from Mexico were not particularly offensive.

They sounded more like hard truths the politically correct did not want said than bigotry to me. Certainly not what the open borders advocates would say, but definitely not an opinion so over the top to evoke the kind of response by the media, and others in the ruling class.

Trump still seemed like a side show though, but the venemous hostility toward him certainly was grabbing my attention more and more.

That raw, naked, nasty relentless aggression to take Trump out, and all the dirty tricks against him made me stop and take notice.

Then Trump started to become more appealing.

Some questions needed answers. How is it possible that almost all of the reporting on one politician would be so one sided, no matter what the issue was.

No matter what the guy did or said, the reporting was overwhelmingly negative.

How is it that in all the media coverage of this man, he’s never given the benefit of the doubt on any single issue?

Not once have we ever seen the media carefully scrutinize the other side of any negative story on Trump, and treated it with any curiosity. His surrogates never got to come on any program and lay out their case in anything but a hostile environment.

All these years later, and the same unwavering pursuit to take out this one man has convinced me that there is more to this.

All of the norms, and the protocols that the media and others have been so willing to abandon in order to stop this dude is not normal.

With all the knives, darts, bullets and missiles that have been pulled out and targeted against Trump in the last few years, thinking people are supposed to look at all of it and just go “meh, nothing unusual happening here. This is just routine stuff.”

Nah bruh!

The establishment has spoken. The message is loud and could not be clearer. Heed their warning! If you want to be involved in American politics, all are welcome, but you will play the game by their rules.

You’d better get rid of any ideas you may have about challenging their influence, their methods of doing business, their goals, or the mechanisms they employ to achieve their goals.

You will play by their rules or they will destroy you.

Play ball or else.

Jussie Smullet and victimology in the black community

Ray Charles reached out from the crypt to comment on the Jussie Smullet affair. He wanted everyone to know that even though he is both blind and dead, he could see from where he was that something did not seem right with the whole matter. Ray said that if people were willing to remove their blinders, they too could have seen that there may be more to the story. As the saying goes “none so blind as he who will not see.” That seems to be the default position of the left and the Democrat party. They are willingly blind to the reality of  life in this country. They are emotionally invested in the idea that America is a cesspool of racist hatred. Instead of simply battling racism where it does show its ugly head, and then keep moving, they jump for joy because they get a situation to exploit. The Jussie Smullet story proves it one more time.

So now we know that there is a lot more to the story than Mr. Smullet would have us initially believe. The story quickly began to unravel after he first made the claim, and the sordid details are now all over the news. Now to be truthful, who knows!?! It is possible to be the victim of a hate crime in Chicago. Keep in mind though that in Chicago, 88 percent of the people voted against Donald Trump. It is not impossible that he would be attacked by two white supremacists shouting “this is MAGA country,” in the middle of a city that is predominantly black, with a large gay population, where virtually no one voted for Trump, at two in the morning, in the freezing temperatures of a polar vortex, after waking up to have a snack and realizing that he had nothing to eat at his place, then heading out in the freezing cold where he was beaten and rubbed. Whew! It is possible but unlikely. Ok, let’s get back to the point. The point is that if this incident happened exactly as Smullet claims it did, it does not prove that white supremacy is a major problem in the country. The reality is that white supremacists are not running roughshod across America. The Klu Klux Klan is not a group that has any influence in America. The handful of Nazis in America are not power players socially, politically, economically or otherwise. They hold no sway. If they hold a rally, no more than a handful are represented. They are always outnumbered tenfold by counter protesters who wish to make it very clear to them that their vision for America is not wanted or welcomed. 

Displays, accusations, or the slightest hint of racism is the fastest way to get people ostracized in American society today. Businesses, educational institutions, and other organizations are always putting systems in place to ensure that racism is aggressively tackled. There is a whole branch of government that is committed to fighting racism in the workplace, people can file individual lawsuits, class action suits are common. Many times businesses are willing to just settle if they are accused of racism. HR departments across the country work hard to ensure that people are treated fairly on the job, but none of these things matter, or is enough for the race pimps in the Democrat Party, and on the radical left to accept that the system is not out to get black people. They’d rather take incidents like what allegedly happened to Smullet, and gleefully hold it up as an exhibit of America’s resentment of black people. 

It is sad because the United States remains so needlessly divided on race, based on lies propagated by a handful of power hungry people whose modus operandi is to divide and conquer. Jussie Smullet should be a case study in victimology. Here is a young, handsome, successful black man with the world at his feet, but is not enough by that. He has fallen in to the trap that so many black people have fallen into, displaying an eagerness to wallow in the mire of victimhood.  In addition, too many white guilt ridden liberals continue to promote the idea that black people are victims of white America. They have this need to present themselves as woke heroes of the black man. These white liberals who want desperately to assuage their guilt ridden conscience for the evils of generations past, and show the world that they are good whites have a big role to play in this unfortunate saga. They need to stop! Leave black people alone if that is the only way they think that they can offer their help to the black community. 

Jussie Smullet, the Democrat party, and the race card

One gets impression that the left and Democrats are in ecstasy over the news that actor Jussie Smullet may have been the victim of a hate crime. As usual, they appear happy to have another reference, that in their minds prove that America is an absolutely terrible place for “people of color and other minorities.” It’s not hard to imagine Democrats across the country doing celebratory fist pumps and shouting “YAAS,” giving each other high fives, and pats on the shoulder, while doing a celebratory dance at the news that Smullet may have been the victim of a hate crime. One more thing to blame on Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters, and America in general while not acknowledging their racist history. You see Democrats thrive on grievance, and anything that furthers their narrative seems to give them joy. The more discontent, the happier the Democrat machine.  Keep in mind that when talking about Democrats, it is always the Democrat machine, and the faithful who refuse to ever examine their party that the reference is made.

Now just to be clear, if indeed Smullet was the victim of a hate crime or any kind of crime for that matter, it is definitely a terrible thing. People should be able to walk the streets without the fear of being attacked or assaulted. The sad truth however is that we live in an imperfect world where bad things happen. That statement is not meant to trivialize the trauma that people who are the victims of crime suffer. It is difficult to imagine the state of confusion, fear, shock, and even anger that permeates an individual’s system after such an awful experience. The people unfortunate enough to have been violated in this way deserve compassion, understanding, care, and support to help them overcome the shock of the experience. The sad thing however is that many people with political agendas have no shame, and would not hesitate to use their own misfortune, or the misfortune of others to gain political mileage. As noted already, Smullet, the people close to him, and all Americans really, should be outraged by what may have happened to him, but it is just stunning to see everyone take this unfortunate incident, and turn it into another Trump bashing fiesta. 

Instead of looking at the problem at hand, identifying what needs to be fixed and then making improvements where necessary; the left, the Democrats and their media allies are making sweeping allegations about the country. If the attack on Smullet was meant to be some sort of political statement there is nothing to justify that type of behavior, and hopefully the perpetrators of the crime will be caught and receive the punishment that they deserve. What is amazing though, is that this type of outrage is only expressed when something like this happens to someone on the left, and especially if the person is “black or a person of color.” There is a high level of tolerance however when these crimes are committed by those on the left against anyone on the right, especially if the victim of the crime is white. The condemnation is usually slow in coming. There is sometimes much excuse making, and other times even denials flow from the left when addressing the same type of crimes committed against people on the right. The question is why the double standard?

We have seen this movie on several occasions. The plot never changes, but those running the footage act as though it is new. Keep in mind that these people who are always so quick to use incidents like what happened to Smullet as proof of America’s malevolence as a society, are the same people who have helped in spreading over a hundred high profile hate crime hoaxes since the election of Donald Trump. You read that right people! Their has been  over one hundred high profile hate crime hoaxes since the election of President Trump. This is how committed the left and the Democrat party is to portraying Trump as a racist, and their country as a hate filled cesspool. Were it not for Fox News and other outlets who counter the leftist media narrative, no one would know this. Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Brian Stelter, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough and the rest of the corrupt, leftist media mafia have no interest in covering these different angles when it comes to covering the news. Their main mission is to keep the propaganda train about Trump and America going. Keep that in mind whenever you read or hear about incidents like what happened to Smullet.
