clashdaily--2020-07-17--Frightening Ourselves in the Age of Fear and Rage

I can ’ t watch television .
There was a time when I thought the talking heads were giving us the news .
Now , I see the so called “ news ” as actors who are feeding me their daily dose of fear and rage .
I ignored the Orellian exaggerations for a while , but now I can ’ t .
The problem is that facts don ’ t matter and we ’ re easy to manipulate once we ’ ve overdosed on fear and rage .
Those emotions are like dangerous drugs because I can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afraid .
How did we assume such a weak and subservient position when we have the world of information at our fingertips ?
Like many truths that are obvious in hindsight , we should have known we were vulnerable to media manipulation .
As early as 1938 we panicked when an actor , Orson Welles , read a science fiction story on the radio .
Because of that broadcast , we thought that H.G .
Wells ’ s science fiction story “ War of the Worlds ” was real .
We thought we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mars and we panicked .
We fared slightly better in 1954 when a small latex monster was put on the TV and we watched Godzilla destroy Tokyo .
That progress was temporary .
Today , we panic after a glamorous spokes-model breathlessly says some people died from the flu .
We are never told about the size of previous epidemics or of last year ’ s flu .
We see government officials being chastised for not wearing a mask .
What we don ’ t see is the news media taking their masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We see riots being called “ peaceful protest ” .
What we ’ re not shown is the armed security team hired to protect the camera crews .
We are never shown how small the protest really is .
The media feeds us a distorted view of the world .
We ’ re looking at the world through a media microscope , yet we think that the images we ’ re shown are representative of the world around us .
Trending : Dear Leftists : Old Video Of Joe Biden Surfaces Where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canceled ’ ?
We have our weaknesses .
We don ’ t know what to do when we face a complex problem armed with contradictory information .
We want to feel effective and in control so we do everything we can , even if those actions are ineffective .
We feel hyper responsible if we lock our doors , wipe every surface with bleach , and wear a mask as we take a shower four times a day .
We think we are sophisticated , intelligent , and informed , yet our actions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We were not meant to live that way , and it plays to our weaknesses .
The cell phone in our pocket lets us live in an ocean of facts .
It is easy to search for the facts that fit your current perspective without ever looking for facts that contradict your favorite beliefs .
The antidote is to read widely and look for contradictions .
It is easy to believe that we ’ re in the middle of a race war , yet I see a peaceful scene as I walk down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is easy to think that police are out of control , yet the officers I meet are as responsible as they could be .
It is easy to believe that the economic situation is hopeless , yet I see help wanted signs everywhere I go .
So do you if you lift your head out of your phone .
Context puts facts in perspective .
Are you going to believe the microscope in your pocket , or are you going to believe your own experience ?
I favor my own observations above those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had economic downturns before .
We ’ ve had waves of the flu before .
We ’ ve been manipulated by the media and by politicians before .
We will come out of this stronger .
We will develop an immunity to the flu and to the hysterical media .
Give us time .
If I were offering a prescription , I ’ d say you ’ ll feel better soon .
Turn off the TV , step out of the echochamber of social media , read a history book , and call @ @ @ @ @

clashdaily--2020-07-17--Ted Cruz: Although China’s A Dangerous Foe, There Is Reason For Optimism

Much has changed in the last 12 months… including Hong Kong rising to play the role of the Cold War ’ s Berlin .
Only a year ago , Washington insiders would scoff at the idea that China is a threat to be taken seriously .
Then came the Hong Kong protests and Communist China putting the screws to the NBA over a single tweet in support of Hong Kong .
Then came a conspiracy of silence between the Chinese Communist Party and the World Health Organization surrounding the Wuhan China Coronavirus .
They closed internal travel but did nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence .
They lied and even tried to blame the origins on an American plot to destabilize China .
Trending : Dear Leftists : Old Video Of Joe Biden Surfaces Where He Says The N-Word Twice–Is He ‘ Canceled ’ ?
And while all the world was busy cleaning up the mess they dropped in our laps , they moved into Hong Kong and started stripping rights .
So , why could Ted Cruz POSSIBLY be optimistic about the future ?
It ’ s simple .
We have come to the same point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ famous ‘ Tear Down That Wall ’ Speech Suddenly , there is a spotlight on just how corrupt and malicious the handful of power-hungry communists holding a billion-and-a-half citizens in their thrall really are .

Anyone mentioning it was instantly demonized .
Doctors who would prescribe it , or pharmacists who would dispense it were harassed .

Lori Lightfoot Calls WH Press Secretary ‘Karen’ After Kayleigh McEnany Calls Her ‘The Derelict Mayor Of Chicago’

As violent crime continues to increase in Chicago , Mayor Lightfoot has found yet another way to avoid addressing the issue–she ’ s bashing the White House Press Secretary .
We ’ ve seen that the Mayor of Chicago has been focusing on enforcing lockdowns and compliance with the 2020 Census with silly stunts instead of dealing with the real issue in Chicago–the spike in homicides .
Violent crime in the city of Chicago has been ramping up in recent years .
In the wake of George Floyd ’ s death in Minneapolis and the wave of anti-racism turned anti-law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a disturbing rise in violent crime has also followed .
Trending : Dear Leftists : Old Video Of Joe Biden Surfaces Where He Says The N-Word Twice–Is He ‘ Canceled ’ ?
On May 30 , the city of Chicago recorded it ’ s most deadly day in 60 years–18 people were murdered and another 85 people were shot in one 24-hour period .
The Chicago Sun-Times maintains a database of every homicide victim in the Windy City for 2020 .
It lists the name , age , gender , race , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death .
It ’ s heartbreaking to read through knowing that each of those names represents a life , and has left mourning family members and friends .
To date , there have been 387 homicides in Chicago in 2020 .
For some reason , the city that has been run exclusively by Democrats for decades isn ’ t getting any better tackling the rampant violence in any meaningful way .
Perhaps there ’ s a reason hidden in there somewhere… But this is a thing that people are not permitted to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kayleigh McEnany was on the receiving end of Mayor Lori Lightfoot ’ s ire when she dared suggest that the mayor do her job .
Mayor Lightfoot bluntly responded to the Press Secretary ’ s comments on Twitter , “ Hey , Karen .

The internet pejorative calling people “ Karen ” has taken on a racial connotation as it is generally used to describe pushy , privileged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything and are potentially racist .

” Mayor Lightfoot is admitting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All because she didn ’ t like getting called out by the White House Press Secretary .
McEnany was later asked about a previous comment made by Trump that white people are killed just as often as black people by police officers .

It is unacceptable , and under this President , he ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ And the derelict mayor of Chicago should step up and ask for federal help because she ’ s doing a very poor job at securing her streets.

But to succeed , you must establish law and order.
” He added , “ My Administration would also welcome the opportunity to engage with you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy recommendations to improve policing and make our great cities safer for all.
” Can ’ t you see how the left ’ s “ Bad Orange Man ” is exerting his authority over the residents of Chicago and establishing totalitarian rule by the federal government against the will of the people ?
Oh , wait .

But this is a thing that people are not permitted to say, apparently.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was on the receiving end of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s ire when she dared suggest that the mayor do her job.
Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot hit out at White House press secretary Kaleigh McEnany Thursday calling her a ‘Karen’ for saying she’s a ‘derelict mayor’. McEnany was answering reporter questions during a press briefing earlier Thursday when she made several sharp comments about the mayor and accused her of ‘doing a very poor job at securing her streets’. The press secretary also said she believed Lightfoot should ask for federal help in ending a recent spike in violence in Chicago.
Mayor Lightfoot bluntly responded to the Press Secretary’s comments on Twitter, “Hey, Karen. Watch your mouth.”

Where is McEnany wrong, precisely?
This is why Mayor Lightfoot simply tweeted, “Hey, Karen. Watch your mouth,” instead of attempting to refute McEnany’s statements. It’s because she can’t, so the Mayor wants her to be quiet.
President Trump has made law and order a key pillar in his 2020 re-election campaign.
In June, the President sent a letter to both Mayor Lightfoot and Illinois Governor Pritzker to address the violent crime in Chicago.

Can’t you see how the left’s “Bad Orange Man” is exerting his authority over the residents of Chicago and establishing totalitarian rule by the federal government against the will of the people? Oh, wait. That’s not happening at all. He’s calling for actual bipartisan input to solve the city’s problem.
On Wednesday, he addressed the situation in major cities and the federal response to the negligence of leadership in those cities.
‘We’ll have another announcement next week with the Attorney General, the FBI, and others concerning our cities, because the left-wing group of people that are running our cities are not doing the job that they’re supposed to be doing,’ Trump said. ‘And it’s not a very tough job to do if they knew what they were doing.

WATCH: Portland Cop Blasts Mostly White BLM Protesters For ‘Screaming At Black Officers’ And Fomenting Violence

Portland has had protests for 50 straight nights .
This Portland Officer is sharing his perspective and it ’ s enlightening .
The situation in Portland , Oregon has continued to deteriorate after nearly two months of nightly protests which often include property destruction and violence .
The Oregonian recently posted a video to YouTube chronicling some of the actions of protesters .
Trending : Dear Leftists : Old Video Of Joe Biden Surfaces Where He Says The N-Word Twice–Is He ‘ Canceled ’ ?
In one of the most bizarre cases of the new wokescold eradication of statues , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was donated to the city in 1900 .
How much do you want to bet that those people cheering in the video that the statue of an elk has been torched are against animal rights activists ?
The fountain where the statue stood has become a place where things are burned in protest regularly .
The city then cleans it up in the morning .
Reporter Andy Ngo regularly posts videos of the cycle of destruction and restoration .
Activists have set up their own “ autonomous zone ” where police are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in to protect federal buildings that have been the targets of protesters .
Those Federal troops are now clearing out protesters and enforcing the law .
With that as the backdrop , Portland Police decided to share the perspective of one of their officers who is a part of the Rapid Response team that has been coming face-to-face regularly with protesters .
Officer Jakhary Jackson was interviewed by Lt. Tina Jones during a press availability session also attended by Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell .
Officer Jackson ’ s perspective as a black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would expect .
He says that the BLM protesters are predominantly white and that he is often shouted down by them .
They don ’ t seem to want Officer Jackson to talk to black protesters even when the protester approaches him and initiates the conversation .
JACKSON : I got to see folks that really do want change , like the rest of us that have been impacted by racism .
And then I got to see those people get faded out by people who have no idea what racism is all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It says something when you ’ re at a Black Lives Matter protest and you have more minorities on the police side than you do in a violent crowd , and you have white people screaming at Black officers .
Officer Jackson says that the loud faction of protesters that are trying to silence and shame law enforcement officers–especially those who are not white .
He finds that rather ironic .
‘ I had been , when I was young , at a party and I got jumped by a group of white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Me putting this uniform on doesn ’ t erase that history that I ’ ve had.
’ He commended some of the protesters he has met , and was supportive of their calls for police reform .
‘ I go to see folks that really do want change like the rest of us that have been impacted by racism , he said .
However , their efforts , he said , were ‘ faded out by people that have no idea what racism is all about .
Never experienced racism .
‘ They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tactics they ’ re using are the same tactics that were used against my people and they don ’ t even the history , ’ Jackson said .
‘ They don ’ t know what they ’ re saying.
’ Jackson , a graduate of Portland State University with a degree in history , said the situation was ‘ actually frightening.
’ Officer Jackson also noted that the first photo that he saw of a business that was damaged in the protests was one that was black-owned .
His reaction to that photo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ They ’ re not even from here . '
” An audio clip of the interview was posted to YouTube by the Portland Police Department .
Watch the full interview with Officer Jackson here : Officer Jackson is out there saying the things that need to be said and good on him for doing it .
We can ’ t completely dismantle police departments because of a small number of “ bad cops ” that aren ’ t representative of the vast majority of law enforcement officers .

Last night, antifa rioters in downtown Portland celebrated and cheered the arson attack on the elk statue near the Justice Center. pic.twitter.com/DujvtDwMtG — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) July 3, 2020
How much do you want to bet that those people cheering in the video that the statue of an elk has been torched are against animal rights activists?
This is what’s left of the Portland elk fountain after antifa militants set it on fire two days ago in the name of BLM. The flames severely damaged the base of the statue, causing the city to remove the elk over fears it could topple & injure someone. No one was arrested. pic.twitter.com/gTpYPZga7L — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) July 3, 2020
The fountain where the statue stood has become a place where things are burned in protest regularly. The city then cleans it up in the morning. Reporter Andy Ngo regularly posts videos of the cycle of destruction and restoration.

Federal troops have been sent in to protect federal buildings that have been the targets of protesters. Those Federal troops are now clearing out protesters and enforcing the law.
With that as the backdrop, Portland Police decided to share the perspective of one of their officers who is a part of the Rapid Response team that has been coming face-to-face regularly with protesters.
Officer Jakhary Jackson was interviewed by Lt. Tina Jones during a press availability session also attended by Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.
Officer Jackson’s perspective as a black police officer is exactly precisely what conservatives would expect. He says that the BLM protesters are predominantly white and that he is often shouted down by them. They don’t seem to want Officer Jackson to talk to black protesters even when the protester approaches him and initiates the conversation.
A black Portland cop has slammed ‘hypocritical’ crowds of Black Lives Matter protesters which include less minorities than the police force they are coming face-to-face with at demonstrations… …Jackson, who has served in the department for about a decade, shared his thoughts as a member of a rapid response team responding to demonstrations almost daily since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.
JACKSON: I got to see folks that really do want change, like the rest of us that have been impacted by racism. And then I got to see those people get faded out by people who have no idea what racism is all about, who never experienced racism. It says something when you’re at a Black Lives Matter protest and you have more minorities on the police side than you do in a violent crowd, and you have white people screaming at Black officers.
Officer Jackson says that the loud faction of protesters that are trying to silence and shame law enforcement officers–especially those who are not white. He finds that rather ironic.
‘I had been, when I was young, at a party and I got jumped by a group of white people,’ he said. ‘Me putting this uniform on doesn’t erase that history that I’ve had.’ He commended some of the protesters he has met, and was supportive of their calls for police reform. ‘I go to see folks that really do want change like the rest of us that have been impacted by racism, he said. However, their efforts, he said, were ‘faded out by people that have no idea what racism is all about. Never experienced racism. ‘They don’t even know that the tactics they’re using are the same tactics that were used against my people and they don’t even the history,’ Jackson said. ‘They don’t know what they’re saying.’ Jackson, a graduate of Portland State University with a degree in history, said the situation was ‘actually frightening.’ Source: Daily Mail
Officer Jackson also noted that the first photo that he saw of a business that was damaged in the protests was one that was black-owned. His reaction to that photo was, “I’m like ‘They’re not even from here.'”
Watch a clip of Officer Jackson’s thoughts:

Officer Jackson is out there saying the things that need to be said and good on him for doing it.
We can’t completely dismantle police departments because of a small number of “bad cops” that aren’t representative of the vast majority of law enforcement officers.

The notion of awarding reparations to blacks to compensate for slavery has been floating around for years without anyone taking it seriously .

Anger in the oppressed is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injustice , ” Steele says .
“ Black rage is always a kind of opportunism.

Black opportunists like Booker and Lee are eager to take advantage of it .

clashdaily--2020-07-18--Defund The Squad: Ilhan Is Getting Out-Hustled By Her Primary Opponent

Has the loudly Anti-American refugee already worn out her welcome in the Democrat party ?
Ilhan Omar was celebrated in photo ops with other newly elected Democrats as part of the fresh new face of the party .
She was right in there with Nancy Pelosi , Alexandria Occasional Cortex , Rashida Tlaib and what ’ s her name .
She was very bold in her opinions , most of them being aligned against America itself .
She fell lockstep behind Bolshevik Bernie , demonized ICE , praised Antifa , supported Hamas-connected groups , and called for the defunding of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( using their language ) ‘ credible accusations ’ of Ilhan Omar working as an ‘ asset ’ of a foreign power .
She wasn ’ t quite as American-as-apple-pie in her personal convictions .
So is it really surprising that even Democrats are wondering if she ’ s really ‘ electable ’ ?
Omar – known nationally as one of the four members of the influential group of progressive first-term congresswomen known as “ The Squad ” – is considered the favorite in the Aug. 11 primary .
This week she landed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in politics – such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – who backed her on Wednesday .
…But in the crucial battle for campaign cash , she ’ s been walloped by her main primary challenger , Antone Melton-Meaux .
The lawyer and mediator hauled in an eye-popping $ 3.2 million in the April-June quarter of fundraising , according to filings with the Federal Election Commission .
That far surpassed Omar , who raised nearly half-a-million dollars during the same period of time .
Melton-Meaux reported having $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the end of June , nearly double of Omar ’ s $ 1.1 million cash on hand .
…Melton-Meaux ’ s haul is a dramatic surge from the first quarter of the year , when he raised roughly $ 210,000 .
Much of the money came from outside of the District — and some of it came from conservative donors and pro-Israel groups .
The candidate – who says he supported Omar ’ s 2018 campaign – pointed to the controversies surrounding the congresswoman as the reason why he decided to run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview with The Hill that Omar had “ lost the trust of the Jewish community by her insensitive and harmful tropes.
” Will that fundraising be enough to knock out Ilhan ?
Will her name recognition prevail ?
Will her divisive politics prevail over her challenger ’ s more conciliatory one ?
This will be an interesting bellwether on which way the party is going to pivot .

Has the loudly Anti-American refugee already worn out her welcome in the Democrat party?
Ilhan Omar was celebrated in photo ops with other newly elected Democrats as part of the fresh new face of the party.
She was right in there with Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Occasional Cortex, Rashida Tlaib and what’s her name.
She was very bold in her opinions, most of them being aligned against America itself. She fell lockstep behind Bolshevik Bernie, demonized ICE, praised Antifa, supported Hamas-connected groups, and called for the defunding of the police.
There have even been (using their language) ‘credible accusations’ of Ilhan Omar working as an ‘asset’ of a foreign power.
She wasn’t quite as American-as-apple-pie in her personal convictions.
So is it really surprising that even Democrats are wondering if she’s really ‘electable’?
Omar – known nationally as one of the four members of the influential group of progressive first-term congresswomen known as “The Squad” – is considered the favorite in the Aug. 11 primary. This week she landed endorsements of some of the biggest names in politics – such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – who backed her on Wednesday. [Other significant backers are enumerated] …But in the crucial battle for campaign cash, she’s been walloped by her main primary challenger, Antone Melton-Meaux. The lawyer and mediator hauled in an eye-popping $3.2 million in the April-June quarter of fundraising, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. That far surpassed Omar, who raised nearly half-a-million dollars during the same period of time. Melton-Meaux reported having $2 million in his campaign coffers as of the end of June, nearly double of Omar’s $1.1 million cash on hand. …Melton-Meaux’s haul is a dramatic surge from the first quarter of the year, when he raised roughly $210,000. Much of the money came from outside of the District — and some of it came from conservative donors and pro-Israel groups. The candidate – who says he supported Omar’s 2018 campaign – pointed to the controversies surrounding the congresswoman as the reason why he decided to run for office. Meltons-Meaux argued in an interview with The Hill that Omar had “lost the trust of the Jewish community by her insensitive and harmful tropes.”
Will that fundraising be enough to knock out Ilhan? Will her name recognition prevail?
Will her divisive politics prevail over her challenger’s more conciliatory one?
This will be an interesting bellwether on which way the party is going to pivot.

clashdaily--2020-07-18--What A Surprise: Biden Staffer Posted Some Anti-Police Hate… Will He Apologize?

If he had a staffer that made a statement even mildly objectionable to any group in the Left ’ s intersectional hierarchy , they ’ d be run out on a rail .
But against the police ?
Don ’ t hold your breath .
These are the same people who think Colin ‘ Pig Socks ‘ Kaepernick is some sort of a cultural icon , despite the Million $ he soaks up from companies heavily invested in China whose racist practices ( including explicitly targeted mistreatment of black people ) and human rights abuses have been well documented .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shoes even voluntary , or is Colin profiting off of slave labor ? )
But America is Racist , you see .
That ’ s the double standard we ’ re seeing these days .
Biden ‘ assures ’ us that he won ’ t be pushing a defund the police agenda .
But we ’ ve already seen policy shifts proving that he is easily pushed left by others in his party .
We also know that his party is teeming with open hostility toward the police .
So what will he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some anti-police contempt in his campaign ?
Anything at all , or does he quietly condone it the way Bernie quietly condoned the Bolsheviks running his campaign that were caught on video talking about revolutions , gulags for their political foes , and ‘ chucking bricks ’ .

A supervising video producer for Joe Biden ’ s presidential campaign tweeted a meme in June that urged people to stop calling the police “ pigs ” — but only because unlike the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and empathetic animals who would never racially profile you.

Here she was after the murder of 5 cops , and wounding of 9 others , by a cop-hating , anti-white racist .

Do you recall which protest ?
That ’ s right… it was a BLM march .
And some of those cops were shielding civilians with their own bodies .
What clever and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after that bloodbath ?
Here ’ s the tweet , taking a swipe at the NRA ’ s offer of condolences to the fallen cops : “ Of course they respond to the officers but not to the previous shootings : ( ” When Fox reached out for comment , none came .

clashdaily--2020-07-19--Black Woman Chants ‘Re-Fund The Police’ While Dumping Black Paint On De Blasio’s BLM Piece

Apparently the one thing that must NOT be defaced with paint is — a political propaganda message painted out of spite rather than concern .
