No More Tax Dollars for the Planned Parenthood Chop Shop



No More Tax Dollars for the Planned Parenthood Chop Shop
Earlier this year, the U.S. House of Representatives supported the $1.3 trillion dollar “omnibus” budget bill which included hundreds of millions of dollars for Planned Parenthood.
Yes, federal lawmakers continue to fund what Daniel John Sobieski described in an op/ed as the Planned Parenthood “Chop Shop”–a business that is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice for “engaging in the illegal sale of aborted baby remains for profit.” According to Planned Parenthood, “the more fully-formed the baby body parts, the more valuable those parts are.”
The same writer noted the irony that funding to fight the opioid addiction epidemic was also in the bill. This means “the government is simultaneously paying for the saving and destruction of human life.”
Sobieski’s devastating critique is worth repeating:
Defunding Planned Parenthood is something more than a campaign promise. Life is supposed to be the first unalienable right conferred on us by our Creator. Liberals are also supposed to be in favor of “safe spaces.” One would think the womb should be the safest space of all. It is not so considered o…
While opiod overdoses killed about 64,000 people last year, the “leading cause of death for Americans under 50 years old is abortion, the single largest practitioner of which is Planned Parenthood.”
Yet far too many “pro-life” members of Congress voted to fund what is “by far the nation’s largest abortion provider.” God forgive us!
Here is another morally repugnant fact that should sear the consciences of all decent people: “An analysis of the 2016-2017 report along with Planned Parenthood’s previous reports shows that Planned Parenthood is responsible for the deaths of over 7.6 million human babies.”
Congress will have another chance to defund the barbaric, feticidal Planned Parenthood in September. Pro-life voters must make their voices heard before Congress returns to Washington D.C. after Labor Day.

American fascism



By Bob  Livingston

American fascism 

There is a silent marriage between big government and big business. It's called fascism, or was in Italy. We have much the same thing in America.

Big business has and will promote every ideology and philosophy known to man to disguise its madness for profits and government favors. All governments are fronts for monopoly capitalism (fascism).America is not a capitalist system by any stretch. This is obvious to any sober person.

Government benefits big business. Big business benefits government. There's a revolving door between top brass in the multinational corporations and the halls of power in the District of Criminals. They run and populate the president's cabinet offices and the alphabet soup regulatory agencies. (For evidence, go to the membership roster of the Council on Foreign Relations and see how many names you recognize from government, and study the bios of those you don't.) In return, government policy is crafted and designed to enrich and favor big business.




The Big Tech companies are no exception and, in fact, prove the rule. Big Tech got/gets massive infusions from the national treasury — and are also government contractors — and in return they scarf up copious amounts of data and other information on their users and supply it to big government; their promises of data security notwithstanding.

With the corporate propaganda media losing its control over the flow of information, Big Tech is stepping in. And it's partnering with the MSM and the power brokers who operate behind the scenes in an attempt to stifle any thought that falls outside the mainstream.

It's doing this not just with government's blessing, but with the threat of regulation or something more, as Communist Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut showed with his implied threat via Twitter.

When a major U.S. politician states that something "must" happen, then there is the implied threat that if "something" doesn't happen then government will respond with "something" more.

Senate democrats are already circulating plans to take over the internet and impose all manner of privacy-invading and speech-stifling laws.

Remember, we told you that everything that is public policy is politically correct, and everything that is politically correct is public policy. It's how governments ensure conformity and control.

CNN, the Communist News Network that is a purveyor of much of today's fake news, overtly advocated for the removal of Alex Jones' websites and podcasts from technology platforms in an attempt to drive him out of business. Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Pinterest, Spotify, Stitcher, YouPorn, LinkedIn and MailChimp all obliged and banned Infowars last week. This week, the comment platform Disqus (which we use on Personal Liberty®, for now) and the video platform Vimeo joined in the purge.

CNN — known for cutting off guests being interviewed live when they venture into subjects contrary to the official narrative — claims to support free speech. But when Newseum, the museum of news media established "to increase public understanding of the importance of a free press and the First Amendment" began selling President Donald Trump's MAGA hats and t-shirts with the words "Fake News" in the CNN-style font on them, CNN sparked a social justice mob response that forced the museum to pull the items from its gift shop and issue an apology.

Other media outlets have joined in on the pile-on against Infowars and other deliverers of alternative news, claiming that "hate speech" (a nebulous, meaningless term) and "racism" (a term that was so overused in the Obama years that it, too, has lost its meaning) are "unacceptable" and have no place in a civilized society. In response, the media and tech giants have assumed the role of the government's thought and speech police, with government sanction.

But it's not just Infowars and so-called "alt-right" (another meaningless, fabricated term) media organs being removed from Big Tech; libertarians andso-called "alt-left" and far left sites are beginning to be purged.

No less than the U.S. Supreme Court, in Matal v. Tam, affirmed there is no such thing as "hate speech":


[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express "the thought that we hate."

And:


A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an "egregious form of content discrimination," which is "presumptively unconstitutional." … A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government's benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

The media and leftist elites love to call Trump a fascist, but in doing so they are engaging in Orwellian-style newspeak. Nationalism, crudeness or racism (not that we believe Trump is a racist) do not make one fascist. However, banning contrarian thought (21st century book burning) and beating people into submission — physically and verbally — are fascist tactics. The fascists of the left-wing terror group Antifa are far more fascist in their behavior and philosophy than Trump.

As historian Michael Leeden writes for Forbes:


This (calling Trump a fascist) is not a productive discussion. It has very little to do with fascism itself. For the most part, we hear about style, not ideas or ideology. We hear a lot about vulgarity, about the enthusiasm of crowds, and about threats to basic freedoms. All serious subjects, to be sure, but by making them reiterations of fascism (all the while saying they aren't really fascism), we yank them from their proper context and make proper understanding of both fascism and our current crisis impossible.

Italian fascism, which came to power in 1922, was a war ideology. They argued that the country should be governed by the heroes of the First World War. The fascists fought violent socialist bands in the streets of Italy's major cities (not so much a doctrinal conflict as a reaction to the Socialists' opposition to the war). The street violence was not a monopoly of either fascists or Socialists, but characterized the whole society. Indeed, it characterized the whole continent. Remember that the Bolsheviks had seized power in Moscow, and were calling for global revolution. The Italian left was inspired by this revolutionary event, and fascism was in part a response to this threat.

This newspeak is dangerous to liberty.

Mind control through government propaganda has overshadowed any physical threat to our physical security. We are already in a psychological jail at the mercy of the propaganda ministry.

This is what is meant by benevolent totalitarianism. America has German-style fascism, just without the jackboots.

You don't have to know that you are a slave to be one. Military occupation is no longer necessary (visibly). Total war goes on against the people all the time. Remember that corporations are also engaged in a corporate repeal of the 2ndAmendment, again with government blessing if not government sanction (see, Obama's Operation Chokepoint).

Few people ever come to the realism that big government in cooperation with big business (fascism) work together to perpetually extract labor, wealth and liberty from the people.

The key to this conspiracy is to keep the people dependent on the government under what is euphemistically called "public policy."

The use of false paradigms to manipulate public perception and thus public action


By Brandon Smith


The greatest tool at the disposal of globalists is the use of false paradigms to manipulate public perception and thus public action. The masses are led to believe that at the highest levels of geopolitical and financial power there is such a thing as "sides." This is utter nonsense when we examine the facts at hand.
We are told the-powers-that-be are divided by "Left" and "Right" politics, yet both sides actually support the same exact policy actions when it comes to the most important issues of the day and only seem to differ in terms of rhetoric, which is meaningless and cosmetic anyway. It is nothing but Kabuki theater.
We are told that corporate power must be balanced by government power and that government power must be balanced by "free markets," when in reality corporations are chartered and protected by governments and free markets simply do not exist in today's economy. In the case of social media "censorship," we are told that the solution is to use government power instead of simply launching our own alternative platforms. Yet, social media corporations exist in the form of monopolies exactly because of government power and intervention in business. The abuses of one "side" are being used to push us into the arms of the other side, which is just as abusive.

In terms of geopolitics, we are told that national powers stand "at cross-purposes;" that they have different interests and different goals, which has led to things like "trade wars" and sometimes shooting wars. Yet, when we look at the people actually pulling the strings in most of these countries, we find the same names and institutions. Whether you are in America, Russia China, the EU, etc., globalist think tanks and international banks are everywhere, and the leaders in all of these countries call for more power for such institutions, not less.
The wars, no matter what form they take, are a circus for the public. They are engineered to create controlled chaos and manageable fear. They are a means to influence us towards a particular end, and that end, in most cases, is more power in the hands of a select few. In each instance, people are being convinced to believe that the world is being divided when it is actually being centralized.
The key to any magic show is to get the audience to participate in the lie; to get them to focus on the distracting hand, to assume that what they are seeing is actually what is really happening, to suspend their skepticism.
Make no mistake, what we are seeing in geopolitics today is indeed a magic show. The false East/West paradigm is as powerful if not more powerful than the false Left/Right paradigm. For some reason, the human mind is more comfortable with the idea of divisions and chaos, and it recoils indignantly at the notion of "conspiracy." But conspiracies and conspirators can be demonstrated as a fact of history. Organization among elitists is common regardless of their national point of origin.
Globalists themselves are drawn together by an ideology. They have no common nation, they have no common political orientation, they have no common cultural background or religion, they herald from the East just as they herald from the West. They have no true loyalty to any mainstream cause or region of the planet.
What do they have in common? They seem to exhibit many of the traits of high level narcissistic sociopaths, who make up a very small percentage of the human population. These people are predators, or to be more specific, they are parasites. They see themselves as naturally superior to others, but they often work together if there is the promise of mutual benefit.
The closest thing I can relate narcissistic sociopaths (and thus globalists) to in mythology would be vampires. I have often wondered if the concept of "vampires" was created as a way for common people of the dark ages to explain the soulless and monstrous behavior of the elites of their time. The notion that any person is capable of that kind if evil is hard for people to accept to this day.
Vampires are usually depicted as elites, hiding in plain site as leaders of communities in the upper echelons of society. They seek out a village, insert themselves as upstanding patrons and aristocrats, then feed until that village is destroyed. Afterward, they move on to the next village. This is what they are. This is what they do, and they do it in organized fashion to make the process more efficient.
It takes a village to feed a vampire, or a narcissistic sociopath.
I relate this metaphor because I think it's important for common people to understand what we are really dealing with here. When some of us recoil at the notion of a cabal at the highest levels of finance and politics working towards nefarious purposes, they should know that this is easily explained not only in terms of historic myths and archetypes, but in well documented psychological study.
Analysts and activists within the liberty movement have proven impressively immune to many of the narratives and lies of conspiratorial globalists, which is why they are now the main target of multiple propaganda campaigns. Globalists don't feel comfortable climbing into their coffins to sleep during the day while so many Van Helsings are lurking about exposing their activities.
The latest propaganda effort I have seen is the idea of a "multipolar world" developing in the wake of what the IMF refers to as the "global economic reset." In fact, the term "multipolar world" is being used in alternative media circles a lot these days, and this is once again a ploy designed to con us into believing that centralization is no longer a threat and that the divisions we see are real rather than fabricated.
Under the multipolar narrative, we are told that the shift away from the U.S. dollar as the world reserve is now happening and that this is being led by Eastern political powers seeking alternatives. This is true, to a point.
The lies surrounding this development are many, though. We are told that Eastern political powers are at odds with globalists and globalism — this is false. We are told that BRICS nations are seeking a decentralized system to replace dollar hegemony — this is false. We are told that Eastern leaders like Putin and Xi are countering the globalist power grab and are being targeted by the powers-that-be as if they are "rebelling" against the empire — this is also false. We are told that the trade war is a means for Donald Trump to disrupt globalization and throw a monkey wrench into the globalists plans — this is fantasy.
Liberty activists and analysts are particularly susceptible to the idea because it plays on our desire to see the longstanding dollar-based empire of the Federal Reserve fall into the oblivion it deserves. The problem is that the narrative is based on the fraudulent assumption that the globalist empire is rooted in the "American empire."
Here are the facts:
Globalist influences are hyper-present in eastern nations. For example, Vladimir Putin, who is often depicted as some kind of anti-globalist hero in liberty movement discussions, is not anti-globalist at all. Putin was "discovered" by vocal new world order proponent Henry Kissinger decades ago in the early 1990s before he took on the role as acting president of Russia. Putin relates the meeting with Kissinger and their longstanding friendship in the book First Person, his autobiographical account of his early career.
Contrary to popular belief in the liberty movement, Putin did not kick out international banks or remove their power structures during his presidential rise. In fact, Rothschild banks still operate in Russia to this day, while Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan continue to act as the largest investment banks in the country.
The globalist presence in Russia is perhaps why the nation developed such a close relationship with the IMF after the fall of the Soviet Union, why they continue their ties to the IMF an the Bank for International Settlements to this day and why the Kremlin has in the past called for a new global currency system controlled by the IMF.
China has also called for the same new monetary system, not decentralized, but completely centralized under the IMF. China also continues its ties to the BIS and Goldman Sachs is heavily involved in Chinese government activities and business arrangements. Only last year, Goldman established a $5 billion deal with an arm of the Chinese government to make it easier to purchase companies and assets within the United States. Donald Trump praised the deal as beneficial to the U.S., which is not surprising considering the number of Goldman Sachs alumni Trump has involved in his cabinet.
Trump has also had extensive dealings with Rothschild connected banking elites for the past 25 years. Wilber Ross, an investment banker working for the Rothschilds, was the primary agent that bailed Trump out of his considerable debts surrounding his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City. After Trump's rise to the White House, he made Wilber Ross commerce secretary.
Clearly, there is no "division" between the world's political leaders when it comes to who they are allied with. Globalists and international banks are involved with all of them. But what about the rest of the world in general? Isn't the trade war causing division and decentralization among nations and economies? Not really.
Consider Russia's oil pipeline deal with Germany, or Russia's latest deal to allow China to farm over 2.5 million acres of Russian land, helping directly combat U.S. sanctions. Or what about the Caspian Sea deal between Russia, Iran and multiple other countries to end the dispute over the region? And how about China's defiance of sanctions on Iranian oil?
These are just some of the latest examples of the rest of the world melding into a larger conglomerate in the wake of the trade war. The trade war is bringing all these supposedly disparate countries together in a way that is rather convenient for globalists. If we take into account the reality of globalist influence in all major economies, then we have to also take into account the possibility that the "global economic reset" is not about a "multipolar world," but an even more centralized unipolar world. A world which sacrifices the U.S. model along with the dollar as world reserve and replaces it with something even worse.

In the meantime, liberty activists are being told that they should rally around the death of dollar and the global reset as if it is the end of globalism. In other words, we are supposed to stupidly believe that the shift to the new world order is "decentralization" simply because they call it "multipolar." Just because the U.S. is no longer the face of the beast does not mean the beast is gone.

Democratic socialists want to grow government to solve a problem created by government

By Bob Livingston

The political philosophy of democratic socialism is ascendant in the Democrat Party. From party bigwigs to grumpy old uncle Bernie Sanders to the new darling of the left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrats are finally openly embracing what they long denied — that they desire a collectivist, property-free socialist society with all power channeled to government.

Like all statists, democratic socialists want to grow government to solve a problem created by government, and to do so under cover of mob rule (the vote).
Socialism is a philosophy of envy. When one sees something another has and decides he wants it, rather than earn it on his own merits he wants the power of government to take it and either give it to him or redistribute it to the masses. Often the socialist doesn't want that something for himself as much as he doesn't want someone else to have it.
Socialism is also a philosophy of racism, weakness, ineptitude and collectivism in that it assumes one gained what he has by way of special privilege not afforded everyone if they are of a different race or creed or social standing (a minority); and that one cannot obtain a thing or advance economically without the assistance of government or the collective.
When American politicians talk about "rights" and "liberty," they certainly are not talking about our personal and individual liberty. For them, "rights" and "liberty" are code words for groupism (the crowd). Politicians and bureaucrats never remotely consider personal or individual liberty.
Government under any name or label is all about making and passing laws that strengthen and grow government. Where there are many laws, there is no individual freedom. Where there is no individual freedom, there is no freedom at all.
Politicians and bureaucrats have so skillfully imposed the word "democracy" into the lexicon that the crowd confuses groupism with individual liberty. Democracy by all definitions is mob rule, or groupism. It is anathema to individual liberty.
Democracy does not equal human liberty. Democracy precisely means the manipulated mob. Mobs are rarely if ever spontaneous. They are usually manipulated events like the Arab Spring events of a few of years ago or the Antifa riots of late and coming to a city near you.
As always, the spokesmen for the "movements" talk about creating or reinstalling democracy and liberty as their motivation. Politicians and their useful idiots must do this in order to confirm and reaffirm their political identity to the eyes and ears of the system bosses.
Lawyers love socialism except for themselves. Why? It's because they created it and they parasite off it.
Have you noticed that the Bar Association in every country always supports government? Lawyers write the laws that channel all power, authority and wealth to the government. They create confusion so the people can't understand the law and can't understand esoteric (hidden) political and "legal" manipulation of the public.
So lawyers create socialism and label it democracy. Socialism is a disguised system of stealing the wealth and production of the producers of wealth with spurious laws. Stealing or taking from producers and transferring it to nonproducers make for very sophisticated and concealed class warfare. In other words, it is a parasite system with the parasites ruling and fleecing their host through deception.
It is obvious that government parasites have to have "friends" and allies. They are not at all confused about who their natural allies are. Politicians and bureaucrats achieve balance of power (deceptive rule by consent) by subtly playing economic class, cultural and racial minorities against the producers.
Producers are softened and neutered into passiveness by a constant campaign of altruistic propaganda. It works! Producers and creators actually become persuaded that they should support the system of unequal equality. Now the politicians have a double lock on the public mind. It is their ultimate goal that guarantees their safety and security and preparation for the New World Order — already in existence. The more complete the deception, the more complete the power.
There is yet another element that guarantees the survival and credibility of "democracy." It is the covert and implied sanction of organized religion — not Christianity, but a very well concealed Oriental mysticism that pervades organized religion. It is an esoteric force for world unity.
Manipulating minorities who are naturally drawn to socialism is a basic political strategy to justify government politics and plunder.
Who are minorities? They are, of course, the racial minorities. But there are a whole lot more than that. There are homosexual minorities, feminine minorities, so-called "civil rights" minorities, cultural minorities and all the minorities that make up the "diversity" of the nation.
Public policy is molded on these manipulated minority influences, all contributing to the power and collectivism of government. This is all an invisible charade, an organism, with a totally different and opposite orientation to individual liberty. It is in reality New Age slavery, a benevolent totalitarianism, an illusion of freedom.
One can always identify minority special interests simply because they welcome government intervention and intrusion (socialism) as a net for perceived social inequality, poverty and underachievement. Guilt manipulation and all manner of charades are used to force social and economic equality where none is earned.
Organized religion does not recognize human diversity and natural inequality. All are deserving of the blessings of God and the equal benefits of the community. Nothing is ever mentioned about earning social and economic benefits through personal achievement.
Manipulating minorities who are naturally drawn to socialism is a basic political strategy to justify government politics and plunder.
The principle of government is that political power is maximized by forcibly leveling every individual to the same status of conformity, collectivism, ecumenicalism and serfdom. The truth goes deeper. Because of perceived social, cultural, racial and psychic inferiority, minorities desire to parasite on government force and socialism to subvert those they envy and wish to imitate.
It would never succeed except for the very sophisticated propaganda of altruism. Altruism has a double meaning. To the unsuspecting public, it appears good. But it is hypocrisy with a hidden agenda to cover evil. It is the philosophical basis of democracy and benevolent totalitarianism.
Altruism cleverly hides the depravity of human nature. It makes evil appear good and good appear evil. See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil permeates the propaganda. It conceals the political agenda, promotes ignorance of public health, creates a state of mind of dependence on government and the medical establishment and quashes every form of individualism, independence and creative thinking.
The people must be controlled without being aware. Non-awareness is the key.

Lets talk Fake News Media




The week's news that wasn't 
By Bob Livingston

Shrouding, Trumping, immigrating and racializing the most enemonious, communist sympathizing, propagandic and poorly executed fakeries in the week's fake news.

Enemy of the people

Are the mainstream media an enemy of the people? Donald Trump sure thinks so; the "fake news" media anyway, which is what he calls the "failing" New York Times, NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN.

 




Bob Livingston has made a case that they are, writing:

[I]f the media are covering over these things for the Deep State — whether actively or passively — they are an enemy of the people; as is the FBI, which is even now being uncovered as having attempted — with other aspects of the Deep State — a coup against a lawfully elected president.

Those outlets Trump mentioned have certainly had no qualms about accusing Trump of being "an enemy of the people." Their standard trope is that Trump is operating for Russia or on behalf of or at the instruction of Vladimir Putin — claims which have yet to be substantiated.

The crywhineys in the MSM — and that includes you, Jim Acosta — are in a constant lather trying to defend their "honor" over Trump's attacks on them. They've even gone so far as to show they are colluding against Trump, engaging in a group-think pushback yesterday in which hundreds of anti-Trump media sites editorialized against Trump and efforted to regain their sacrificed legitimacy. And reporters like Acosta regularly claim to fear for their lives when covering Trump rallies.

But we note that while there is no documented case that we're aware of of a Trump supporter doing anything more than calling Acosta (and a few other anti-Trump journalists) bad names and giving them middle finger salutes, there are documented — and recent — cases of leftists attacking the media. And they've gotten very little media attention.

At Saturday's demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, marking the one-year anniversary of violent protests and outright thuggery between the fascist Antifa terrorist group and white supremacist agitators that left Heather Heyer dead, Antifa goons pushed on and swatted NBC reporter Cal Perry's camera. Antifa also clashed with police and journalists at "Sunday's Unite the Right 2" rally in Washington, D.C., throwing eggs and water bottles and shooting fireworks at them.

The left-wing news outlet Vox reported that "a few left-wing 'antifa' (short for 'anti-fascist') counterprotesters did engage in violence, throwing eggs and water bottles and shooting fireworks at police officers and some journalists who were covering the demonstrations... This weekend in Charlottesville and DC, though, it wasn't neo-Nazis and white supremacists the antifa attacked. It was police who were there to help keep the peace among all the demonstrators and journalists who were there to cover the events."

Perry tweeted a video from the event, saying that "Protesters (were) very aggressive with media."


Vox's reporting on the Antifa violence drew the ire of the HuffPost's "hate and extremism reporter" Christopher Mathias, who tweeted about it, "This is a bad article & a good example of how not to cover white supremacy," with a link to the Vox article.


In other words, the reporter at HuffPost doesn't think reporters should report that the Antifa fascist are acting like fascists. And the rest of the fake media don't think violent attacks on the press warrant coverage because the attackers aren't Trump-supporting "deplorables."

So Trump has a point.

CNN and 'fake news' are becoming synonymous

In the wake of a Pew survey that seemed to show that some Trump voters are souring on him, CNN put together a completely unbiased and legitimate panel of "Trump voters" which proved that not only are "some" Trump voters souring on him, but half of all Trump voters think he's a monster and everyone who voted for him — themselves included — are "idiots" for having done so.

However, it turns out that one of the panelists (at least), didn't sour on Trump after the election. He soured on him long before.

The supposed Trump voter-turned-panelist Jeremy Montanez told CNN's Alisyn Camerota that he turned on Trump when he "heard what was going on at the southern border." But in fact, Montanez has a YouTube channel on which he posted a video stating, "It makes me disgusted at the majority of this country but then what can I expect anything less from, you know, a majority of half the population nominating a person like Donald Trump."

Montanez's social media accounts show him to be a communist-sympathizing supporter of the crazy-eyed socialist wunderkind nincompoop Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

On a side note: Montanez bristled at NewsBusters' account that questioned his Trump-voting bonafides and told them, "[Y]es I am a socialist yes I am a die-hard liberal but I did support this President and you can't prove otherwise."

Right...

Honesty compels us here to point out that CNN is not the only media outlet known to put together phony panels stuffed with phony panelists in order to push a phony narrative and label it as organic and unscripted. It just seems that CNN — the network that gave its favored gal the debate questions ahead of time — is the worst at finding panelists that haven't already discredited themselves. 

Politico's heartstring-plucking gobbledygook


Seeking to further stir the pot regarding Trump's policies aimed at slowing down illegal immigration into the U.S., the website Politico ran a diatribe by a physician named David S. Glosser who claims to be the uncle of Trump immigration policy adviser Stephen Miller.

Glosser tells the story about how his forebears fled their village in Belarus at the turn of the 20th century to escape "violent anti-Jewish pogrom and forced childhood conscription in the czar's army" and boarded a ship bound for America.

Wolf-Leib Glosser entered through Ellis Island, New York, and began working in sweatshops and peddling on street corners in order to earn enough money to bring his family to the United States. Later, that immigrant family built several businesses including a chain of supermarkets and discount department stores that would be listed on the American Stock Exchange.

Glosser weaves his tale through the family tree until he comes to his and Miller's place in it, then proceeds to condemn Miller for helping Trump craft an immigration policy that reflects Miller is "numb to the resultant human tragedy and blind to the hypocrisy of their policy decisions."

It's a heartwarming story, but Glosser is engaged in propaganda, or what we'd call fake news.

He sophistically writes:

I shudder at the thought of what would have become of the Glossers had the same policies Stephen so coolly espouses— the travel ban, the radical decrease in refugees, the separation of children from their parents, and even talk of limiting citizenship for legal immigrants — been in effect when Wolf-…

There's a vast difference between incarcerating illegals caught sneaking across the border and assimilating immigrants who entered legally through America's main point of entry and declared themselves as refugees at Ellis Island.

Glosser is a highly educated and accomplished man and is certainly aware there's a difference. He — and Politico — is counting on you not knowing it.

I'll bet the next family reunion's going to be fun. 

Fabricating 'hate crimes'


What is it with restaurant workers in Texas where it seems fabricated hate crimes are becoming all the rage these days? We recently told you about the Facebook pile-on that was based on a phony message scrawled on a restaurant receipt in Texas. A photo of the receipt with the message, "I don't tip terrorists" was posted by Khalil Cavil, who later recanted his story.

Now we learn of another social media wildfire over alleged racist comments, this time in Waco. As KWTX-TV reports:

Freestone County Sheriff Jeremy Shipley is livid over a widely circulated social media post in which a waitress at a Waco restaurant falsely claimed that one of his employees scrawled a racial slur against Hispanics on a receipt. "The character and integrity of this employee and my office has been a…

Well I'm certain they have. Nothing gets the social media social just warriors and cultural Marxists off their butts and into their Twitter and Facebook accounts faster than some perceived racial slight. And it's especially motivating for them if the "offender" is a "racist cop."

According to the story, the Hispanic waitress at a Japanese steakhouse — we're sure there's a joke in there somewhere — received the receipt back with a "racist remark... against the Hispanic community" written on it. It's unclear from the photo what the "racist remark" was, but it appears to say:

Worts attendance here Ever! ____ Mexicans!

The word before "Mexicans" was blurred out so we have to take their word for it that it's "racist."

It's clear that English is not the first language of whoever wrote the message, so it could have been a cop, I guess. (If you've ever read a police report you'll know what I mean.)

But after police watched surveillance video and compared handwriting samples the unnamed waitress caved under questioning and confessed to writing the message herself.

"My employee did not deserve this, nor does my office or any law enforcement agency in this state or across America. This is a perfect time to remind people that just because it's on social media doesn't make it true," Shipley said.
