Former First Lady Michelle Obama slammed President Trump for throwing children of illegal immigrants in cages , a practice that also took place under her husband ’ s administration .
Mrs. Obama ’ s speech , widely heralded by the mainstream media – including personalities at Fox News – as being a moral argument against Trump , contained several falsehoods .
In fact , one portion in which she criticizes America ’ s current leadership as lacking empathy and fomenting disdain is particularly troublesome .
“ They see our leaders labeling fellow citizens enemies of the state while emboldening torch-bearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages , and pepper spray and rubber bullets are used on peaceful protestors for a photo-op , ” Obama continued .
We count two lies in those comments , along with one instance of super-audacious hypocrisy .
RELATED : Obama ’ s ICE Chief : Those Cages For Illegal Kids Were Built By Obama Administration CNN gushed that Obama ’ s speech constituted “ a moral case against Donald Trump ” and “ an appeal aimed at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” But how can she claim the moral high ground while blatantly lying to the American people ?
First off , President Trump never ’ emboldened torch-bearing white supremacists , ’ a clear reference to the Charlottesville hoax – A myth concocted by the media in which the President supposedly called neo-Nazis at a rally in 2017 “ fine people.

CNN’s Jake Tapper Called Out After Comments Ripping Postal Service For ‘Severe Incompetence’ Surfaces

CNN anchor Jake Tapper , a warrior for the merits of mail-in voting , is being called out for an old tweet in which he excoriates the United States Postal Service ( USPS ) over their “ severe incompetence.
” The hypocrisy was pointed out by Rep. Paul Gosar ( R-AZ ) who retweeted Tapper ’ s frustration with the USPS in 2014 and captioned it simply with a wide-eyed emoji .
“ Hey @ USPS – who do I talk to there to try to solve a problem caused by your severe incompetence ?
” the fuming anchor wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even set up right.
” Hard to believe Tapper is the same guy pushing for mail-in voting during a pandemic when they – by his own admission – couldn ’ t even operate their phones correctly just a few short years ago , sans COVID .
The man who wants the fate of the country decided by the USPS personally experienced their “ severe incompetence.

But do you think for one second CNN and their lackeys would allow a comment like this from President Trump ’ s past slide if he were seemingly contradicting his own words today ?
Of course not .
Tapper defended himself by throwing a bit of a social media temper tantrum in response to Gosar .
“ If you ’ re interested in my criticisms of the Postal Service from 2014 , congressman , you should take a listen to my reporting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regarding the COVID-19 pandemic , ” he wrote .
“ It ’ s far more important and it ’ s killing your constituents.

Another added , “ The Tapper from a decade ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desk if he saw the 2020 Tapper.

” Which , of course , is complete hyperbole .
Tapper also retweeted this from a colleague : Even Fox News anchor Chris Wallace , no fan of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may have a point when it comes to fraud concerns .
“ Hear me out for a minute .
Isn ’ t it possible that the president really has a point here ?
” Wallace pondered .

“It’s a shame. It’s hypocrisy. He’s making false & unfounded assertions there’s widespread fraud, when there’s no evidence.

Even Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, no fan of the President, admitted the White House may have a point when it comes to fraud concerns.

One would certainly think so. Especially for a USPS which Tapper himself has described as ‘severely incompetent.’

What Will They Come Up With Next?
And in 2012, the words “God” and “Jerusalem” were both booed when they were considered being put back into the party’s official platform. You can’t make this stuff up! With a few more days to go, I encourage everyone to start placing their bets as to what next the DNC will come out with!

Rep. Karen Bass ( D-CA ) just took her hatred for Donald Trump to a whole new level on Tuesday , when she claimed in a CNN interview that the president is only questioning mail-in-voting because he is attempting to “ run out the statute of limitations on so many of the laws that he broke.

‘ Every Time I See Him Is That He ’ s Just Lost ’ Doctor Jackson spoke to Donald Trump Jr for the President ’ s son ’ s upcoming book entitled , “ Liberal Privilege : Joe Biden and the Democrats ’ Defense of the Indefensible.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-18--Oprah Discusses ‘Using Whiteness As A Weapon’ On Her Show

Once again , billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey attacked white people on her Apple TV show when she talked about people using “ whiteness ” as a weapon against non-whites .
In an episode called “ How to Be an Antiracist , ” Winfrey brought up a May incident in which Amy Cooper , a white woman , called the police on a black man after a dispute involving her dog in Central Park .
Winfrey used this incident to argue that the term “ white privilege ” should really be reconfigured as “ white advantage.
” Winfrey said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guessing you all saw the tape of Amy Cooper in Central Park calling 911 and reporting that an African American man is threatening her life .
Everybody ’ s nodding ?
Good .
And that brought to life , I think , this idea of using whiteness as a weapon .
You know , a lot has been said about Amy Cooper , but I said that I think of her as a great teacher for us in this moment .
I think she happens to be here to show us in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of people might not have recognized whiteness as a weapon .
So I want to ask this group , do you understand now more clearly what that means ?
Using whiteness as a weapon ?
The featured guest of this episode was Ibram X. Kendi , who directs Boston University ’ s Center for Antiracist Research .
Five white guests were included on the episode as well , with each of them accusing themselves of being “ racist , ” something that Winfrey praised them for .
One of the female white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the entire white race , arguing that the death of George Floyd was a function of “ racism.
” “ I ’ m disgusted , ” she said .
“ I ’ m ashamed of the white race.
” Winfrey agreed with her , claiming that “ racism ” is an endemic in America .
When a white woman asked why she has “ racist ” thoughts when she sees a black man in the park , Winfrey responded , “ Because everything in your world has told you that when you see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , danger .
That ’ s why .
Your world is television , news , society , the world.
” Not stopping there , the billionaire described “ white privilege ” as a sociological phenomenon affording whites unearned benefits over non-whites .
Winfrey then asked the white guests if they fully understood “ white privilege ” and “ whiteness.
” Did you even know you were privileged ?
Did you consider yourself to be white privileged before you read [ How to be an Antiracist ] ?
A lot of white people still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re considered white privileged , because they ’ re— particularly middle class and working class white people say , “ Look , I don ’ t have any privilege , because I have to work as hard as anybody , ” you know , they don ’ t understand that the whiteness itself gets you through life in ways that blackness can not .
Only three episodes of Winfrey ’ s new show have aired , and all of them have focused on “ racism , ” “ whiteness , ” and “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Winfrey is the last person who should be lecturing anyone about “ privilege , ” so these racist attacks on white people from her need to end .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-18--GOP Lambastes Democrats Over Failed First Night Of DNC 2020

The reviews are in and from the president on down to the punditry , the consensus amongst the sane is that the first night of Democratic National Convention 2020 was a boring bust filled with lies and radical ideology .
President Trump weighed in on first-nighter Andrew Cuomo ’ s lack of truth on the coronavirus and the liberal governor ’ s own missteps : “ Now AP estimates that the real Cuomo number of people killed because of his total incompetence is 11,000 , not the 6000 that was originally thought !
” But the president wasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ Cuomo , just like his brother Fredo , has not got a very good memory !
” “ The major unanswered question that the first night danced around is Biden ’ s fitness .

The reviews are in and from the president on down to the punditry, the consensus amongst the sane is that the first night of Democratic National Convention 2020 was a boring bust filled with lies and radical ideology.
President Trump weighed in on first-nighter Andrew Cuomo’s lack of truth on the coronavirus and the liberal governor’s own missteps: “Now AP estimates that the real Cuomo number of people killed because of his total incompetence is 11,000, not the 6000 that was originally thought!”

But the president wasn’t finished with Cuomo just yet, adding, “Cuomo, just like his brother Fredo, has not got a very good memory!”

In the New York Post, Michael Goodwin commented,
“The major unanswered question that the first night danced around is Biden’s fitness. He and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris are avoiding the press to an unprecedented degree, a decision doubly perplexing given that most of the media wants Biden to win and could be counted on to feed him only softball questions… Thus, the campaign’s decision not to subject Biden even to friendly encounters suggests there is enormous concern about his incoherence and mental infirmities. So if he can’t campaign or even give interviews, how can he possibly be president?”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-18--Hollywood Liberal Elites React To First Night Of DNC: ‘I’m So Happy I’m A F***ing Democrat’

The first night of the virtual Democratic National Convention took place on Monday night , and it didn ’ t take long for the liberal elites of Hollywood to start fawning over the proceedings , as they do over everything else the Left does .
Hollywood actress-turned-radically leftwing activist Alyssa Milano kicked things off with a profanity-laced tweet in which she gushed over being a Democrat .
Hollywood actor and director Rob Reiner was also “ proud to be a Democrat ” after seeing the singing of the national anthem , which gave him “ chills.
” “ Watching the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chills , ” Reiner tweeted .
“ So proud to see the real America .
So proud to be a Democrat.
” The actress and singer Bette Midler , who is one of President Donald Trump ’ biggest haters in Hollywood , gave her thoughts as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke about the COVID-19 pandemic .
“ Trump ’ s narcissism crippled his response to the Coronavirus , ” Midler said .
“ Disorganized , disinterested , lethargic , insecure , and just plain bored with the ‘ weeds ’ of governing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and four more years will kill us all .
# VoteJoeandKamala2020.
” Mark Ruffalo , who stars in the Marvel movies , gushed that there was a “ sweetness ” and “ kindliness ” about the convention .
“ Watching the # DemConvention .
It ’ s so good to see so many diverse people coming together addressing racism and the promise of America , ” said the actor .
“ There is a sweetness and kindliness about this production.
” Academy Award-winner Patricia Arquette expressed her surprise at the number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I never thought ai would see so many Republicans speaking at the Democratic convention about how worried they are for our country and encouraging people to vote for Biden , ” she tweeted .
I guess Arquette had never heard of a RINO !
Unsurprisingly , much of the fawning from the liberal elites of Hollywood revolved around former First Lady Michelle Obama , who they continue to worship as if she was some kind of goddess .
After Michelle gave the first speech of the night , Hollywood liberals immediately praised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a reminder that the liberal elites of Hollywood are really just a self-centered mob of rich people who have lost all touch with reality .
They can fawn over Democrats as much as they want , but their thoughts do not reflect those of the millions of working class Americans whose lives will actually be impacted by the results of this election .

Over one hundred people have since been arrested for this looting in Chicago, and thirteen police officers were injured in the riots.
This comes one day after Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) announced that she was forming a task force that would search social media for evidence of crimes, and to help in apprehending the criminals behind them.
“As we’ve seen over these past few months, social media platforms have repeatedly been used to organize large groups of people to engage in illegal activity,” Lightfoot said, according to NBC Chicago.
Community leaders in Englewood, Chicago have since been speaking out against protesters after local residents were blamed for the looting, according to Fox32.

Much of the blame for the chaos of Chicago can be placed squarely on Lightfoot’s shoulders, as the liberal mayor spent months denying that the riots that had overtaken her city were violent.

She spread the media-driven myth about Trump calling neo-Nazis in Charlottesville ‘ fine people ’ – fun fact , he didn ’ t .

Incredibly , this is the same woman who said during her speech that she had to ‘ go high ’ by telling people the “ cold , hard truth ” about President Trump .

“ And going high means unlocking the shackles of lies and mistrust with the only thing that can truly set us free : the cold hard truth.
