What do they do when the story is actually damaging?

Tucker Carlson covered a story on Friday, about freelance reporter Yashar Ali talking about the head of NBC Political programing bullying him on behalf of the DNC.

This was all over a scoop Ali got about the dates of the DNC debates. He even admits in his thread it’s not exactly a huge story or even a damaging one, just a small bit of information he got before anyone else. This is obviously completely inappropriate for a “News” person of any capacity, especially someone who is overseeing all political coverage for two major networks to act. This is pointed out by Ali who is not exactly a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. After seeing this the real question everyone and especially viewers of these networks should be, what do they do when they get a really damaging story against anyone associated with the DNC?

This has been going on for years but was exacerbated by the Obama administration. Most people during that time seemed to think the love affair with the media and Obama was mostly due to his historical significance.  While the major media outlets have almost always run cover for democrats. They normally occasionally would run negative stories, too give the air of some sort of impartiality. Then Obama came along, all the sudden after months of zero negative coverage no one asked any questions. All media followed suite, no late-night comedy skits making fun of Obama, Family Guy wouldn’t even touch him. Does the average democrat ever ask themselves this simple question….”Is it really possible that President Obama never did anything wrong, and is everything that President Trump does really wrong?” If this is even slightly incorrect than almost everything they have seen in mainstream media for the last ten years is at the very least inaccurate.

Now for the real question, if someone as high up in NBC is doing the bidding of the DNC on something as inconsequential as a leak of the primary debate dates…….what do they do when there is something really damaging to the party? You would have to think if they get the story it just gets buried but what happens when one of these freelancers gets one? What sort of threats are thrown at them so they won’t hurt the party? Are they threaten with blacklisting never to be given work again by these major networks? The only conclusion you can honestly come to after this story is, they are probably willing to go to extreme lengths to protect the party. If they are willing to do something this unethical just to save the party from some slight inconvenience.

President Trump took away our emotions

One very overlooked aspect of the Trump effect and something that slingshot him to the White House was, he removed the emotion from the argument. One deeply rooted tactic of the left was to use what their entire ideology is based on against people on the right, emotion. They will call people bigot, racist, misogynist and so on, this is effective for two reasons. One it gets people on the left worked up against whomever it is they are attacking. It also immediately puts the person that is being attacked on the defensive and turns the debate into an emotional battle. The interesting part about this tactic is it usually only works if the person who is being attacked isn’t guilty of the accusation. Most people who truly are racist or misogynistic wouldn’t be bother this, but against someone who is not and also dislikes those ideologies it is extremely effective.

When President Trump was being attacked on a daily basis with these usually tactics he just stayed on message. He rarely if ever acknowledged the attacks. Because of that he was accused of not being a “polished” politician. This need to be “polished” is exactly why the right couldn’t win the last two elections. Since the campaign by Obama was run mostly on if you attack him at all we will call you a racist, the right never stayed on message. They were constantly backtracking and trying to defend themselves against these claims no matter how baseless they may have been. So not only did this empower the base of the left but it made people on the right feel like their party was out of sync.

Trump was able to defeat this tactic by staying on message no matter what attacks were thrown at him. By doing this he also empowered a lot of people who used to shy away from sharing their opinions and the facts that created those opinions.  No longer was the left able to shut people down by just calling them names. President Trump made it clear that someone calling you something doesn’t make it so, if you stay on message they can’t shut you up. By removing the emotion and just talking about the facts their tactic becomes useless.

This lack of “polish” not only got him to the White House but it empowered a lot of people who felt voiceless. This is not just white males like the media would have you believe. It is all enemies of the left such as black conservatives. Women who don’t feed into the feminist movement. Legal immigrants who came to America to have a better life for themselves and their children. All of these groups who are supposed to be protected by the left but get attacked the first time they refuse to fall in line. This is who President Trump gave a voice during his campaign, and is why he won the White House.

Police state starting even in our school systems

This video was taking at a meeting for parents to talk to the school board about federal standards that have been adopted by the school systems. When one parent started asking the “wrong” questions the board quickly called on their Gestapo aka Baltimore County police to step in. Because this man was clearly breaking the law by questioning the government (sarcasm in case you didn’t pick up on it).

You can draw you own conclusions after watching the video, but I see a man asking questions and a Police officer turning things into a physical altercation. This man was no threat to the officer or anyone around him or himself and the reaction by the crowd says it all. When everything ended the man was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer and disturbing a school operation (why that’s a specific law I don’t understand). The charges were eventually dropped but the fact that the man was arrested and detained to begin with is troubling to say the least.

This is the problem and it has been going on for a while now the police have way to much power. DUI check points are nothing more than unlawful stops, and now these have snowballed into just check points in general. Last time I was stopped at a “DUI” check point they not only had an officer check my id and see if I had been drinking but another officer went around my car looking inside with a flashlight. I don’t know about you but I am in no way ok with this and no American should be ok with this type of activity by the police.

The Zimmerman effect distraction at its best

I am writing this a few days after the George Zimmerman acquittal. I waited to write this because I was trying to wrap my head around what was going on with the whole situation. There is all this hate being spewed on the internet and elsewhere. What was most bothersome is there was quite a bit of it in my news feed on Facebook. I couldn’t quite figure out why people would basically put if you aren’t pissed about the Zimmerman acquittal then unfriend me. I mainly didn’t understand this because I loosely followed the case and if he would have been found guilty it would have been a total miscarriage of justice. So how could people be so mad about this verdict?
Now I don’t think that Trayvon Martin deserved to die that night by any means. But I do think he was a punk wanna be thug and made a few really bad decisions that end with his demise. The reason I don’t think Zimmerman should be charged with murder is because he was getting beat up, there are witness accounts of that, and he claims that Martin went for his gun. That could not be proven or disproven, and if that was the case then he had every right to shoot him. As far as the whole following and confronting thing, Zimmerman had just as much right to walk down that street as Martin. The police dispatcher told him not to confront the guy for his own safety it had nothing to do with the safety of the person he was following. Also again this couldn’t be proven or disproven so you can only go off of what Zimmerman is saying when he claims Martin started the altercation. Bottom line they both made poor decisions that night. But this isn’t what this post is about, this post is about the overflow of hate that this caused and where it seems to be coming from.
This whole case got most of its traction from one statement “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon” this was said by our president. (If he was Obamas son he would have armed guards 24/7). When I saw that I was sick to my stomach, this was only days after the incident and well before due process. The president of the United States basically just made this guy guilty before proven innocent. Not only that but he was fueling the racial tension that was being caused by the media coverage of this case. At the time this didn’t make sense to me, did he hire Lebron James High School buddies to give him PR tips? But after I thought about it I realized this was just another part of his agenda. First off it was the perfect thing to distract the American public from what turned out to be a flood of current and upcoming scandals. Second it played right into the divide and conquer mentality this administration is all about.
Distractions are the perfect thing for this administration, Benghazi, IRS, NSA and on and on, there were plenty of things they didn’t want the American public paying attention to and still don’t. By injecting the fuel that they knew the presidents comment would they turned what was a sad incident into a circus with every major media outlet pumping out all three rings basically 24/7. The funny thing about social media is that it exploits the fact that these things are being used as distractions, the sad thing is it also shows that a lot of times people don’t care. I have seen people posting multiple recent incidents that were actually colder blooded than the Martian – Zimmerman case but the races were reversed and there was 0 media coverage outside of it being on the local news. Now to take the race card completely out since killing someone white on black, black on black, Hispanic on black, white on white it doesn’t matter it’s all equally wrong. What about all the killings that happen on a daily basis of children that no one is held accountable for, there isn’t enough time on the news for those so I guess that means they are less significant. Well the media molded this into what they wanted it to be. A villainous white guy kills an innocent little black kid simply for walking through his neighborhood. Yet if you do the most minimal about of research you find out that it was a guy who considers himself Hispanic. He followed a man (Trayvon Martin was 5’ 11”) who was walking through people’s yards with his hood up looking in houses in the neighborhood where the Hispanic man does neighborhood watch. The person in the hood confronted him violently and he shot and killed him. Should this be investigated and should appropriate charges be filed if there seems to be reason to, of course. But no the media, Obama and his administration turned it into more or less a hate crime on an innocent little black kid by a racist white guy and this brings us to the next thing divide and conquer.
During both elections this administration and most major media outlets pushed the idea that if your black and don’t vote for Obama you’re a traitor and if your white and don’t vote for Obama you’re a racist. The sad thing is some of the stuff I was seeing posted about the Zimmerman trial were eerily similar to things I saw posted during both elections. “If you don’t agree with me you’re a racist and unfriend me.” This kind of mentality is not only ridiculous and in these cases racist in itself but it’s dangerous as well. That is a total bully mentality and people are not only letting the government get away with it but they are carrying it out for them. I didn’t vote for Obama, and it wasn’t because I’m a racist I didn’t vote for him because I don’t like what he stands for or what he has done so far for this country. He was by far the most dangerous candidate on the ballot because he can pretty much do whatever he wants and it’s ignored by the media. And that is just another product of this divide and conquer mentality, I can’t count the amount of times I have heard people call Fox News racist since Obama was elected. So because they don’t agree with him they are racist? This mentality makes no sense but it is such a touchy subject for most people they don’t think and just react when they are told someone is being racist. What I want people to realize is this is all created because if we are busy hating and fighting each other we won’t pay attention to what the government is doing. When they turn something that pretty much happens on a daily basis to make it front page news there is a reason for it, and again back to no one criticizes Obama for anything. His comments about this should have been a slap in the face to the American people. He said that then walked back in the white house laughing “This should keep those idiots distracted for a while.” We need to come together and open our eyes before it’s too late.
