James Woods Calls Out Pelosi For Being Silent On Her Own Father Overseeing Dedication Of Confederate Statue

Pelosi’s Father Presided Over Confederate Statue Dedication as Mayor of Baltimore
Pelosi’s father, Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr., was the mayor of Baltimore in 1948 when the Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee Monument was erected in Wyman Park.
Pelosi’s dad said Jackson’s and Lee’s examples were inspirational and encouraged Americans to “emulate Jackson’s example and stand like a stone wall against aggression in any form that would seek to destroy the liberty of the world.”
“World Wars I and II found the North and South fighting for a common cause, and the generalship and military science displayed by these two great men in the War between the States lived on and were applied in the military plans of our nation in Europe and the Pacific areas,” D’Alesandro said during the monument’s dedication ceremony.
What's your alibi, Madam Speaker when Thomas Ludwig John D'Alesandro Jr. dedicated Stonewall Jackson & Robert E. Lee #ConfederateMonuments? Daddy's little girl Nancy Pelosi tagged along & at kitchen table heard the statues "pay home to hate, not heritage."https://t.co/cahqwRQVFm — HopeMaga (@hopemaga) June 11, 2020
Mayor D’Alesandro continued, “Today with our nation beset by subversive groups and propaganda which seeks to destroy our national unity, we can look for inspiration to the lives of Lee and Jackson to remind us to be resolute and determined in preserving our sacred institutions … remain steadfast in our determination to preserve freedom, not only for ourselves, but for other liberty-loving nations who are striving to preserve their national unity as free nations.”
“In these days of uncertainty and turmoil, Americans must emulate Jackson’s example and stand like a stone wall against aggression in any form that would seek to destroy the liberty of the world,” he added.

The political calculus of the NeverTrumpers was that the party would never actually nominate Trump .

NeverTrumpers could have taken the off-ramp after Trump became the nominee .
But , once again , they were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be elected President .
They continued on – going as far as to support a third-party candidate , Evan McMullin , who they hoped would help deny Trump the presidency .
Unfortunately for them , once again , voters decided that they wanted candidate Donald Trump to become President Donald Trump .
Their vaunted third-party spoiler candidate failed to appear on the ballot in 39 states .
And , he garnered just one half of one percent of the votes on election day .
Over and over again , voters , in particular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was the insubordination of the base , the revolt of the dirty unwashed masses that ended most NeverTrumpers power in the Republican Party .
They know who is responsible which is why NeverTrumpers don ’ t hate Trump , they hate YOU .
This realization is exactly why the NeverTrump Republicans , like Jen Rubin , Bill Kristol , SE Cupp and company , have completely and totally abandoned support for any and every Republican and any and every conservative initiative .
Fundamentally , they recognize that their beef isn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican voters .
Don ’ t get me wrong , they don ’ t like Trump .
But , they realize that Trump didn ’ t simply execute a hostile takeover of the GOP , he led a grassroots revolt .
The Republican establishment treated its base like children for decades – believing that they knew what was best for them .
All the base had to do was go out every election and vote Republican and trust the establishment that globalism , unfettered free trade , open borders , endless wars and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they needed .
The Trump revolt was the revolt of the base of the party that had watched as every single establishment prescription for what ailed them actually just made them sicker and sicker .
Every once and a while , a NeverTrumper holds out hope that somehow all of the monkeys can be put back in their cages .
And , the Republican Party will once again be the party of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan .
Indeed , at the beginning of June , George Will went on Joy Reid ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will lose and that , “ the next morning , a lot of Republicans will say , ‘ Trump ?
I don ’ t recognize the name.
’ They ’ ll get over this fairly fast.

The Only Choice Left
In the end, NeverTrumpers like SE Cupp know that their only hope to keep their media gig and to stay relevant is to become a zealous convert to the left.

Renowned Berklee College Of Music Issues Pathetic Groveling Apology For Letting Cops Use Restrooms During Protest

The prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston , Massachusetts just issued a lengthy apology for letting police officers use their restrooms during a protest this past weekend .
It seems that police officers with the Boston Police Department were allowed into the Berklee Performance Center to use its restrooms on Sunday night after protests at the State House .
While this may sound harmless enough , it was nothing short of a catastrophe “ triggering ” events for the students who felt “ threatened ” by the police presence in their school ’ s bathrooms .
President Roger H. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school responded to the backlash by signing a letter to the Berklee community that was nothing short of pathetic .
“ The decision to allow them into our facilities was ours , ” the letter reads .
“ This was not a formal decision by the institution , but an informal one , made on the spot .
Some have asked if the campus was used to house or stage activity of the Boston Police ; it was not.
” It goes on to say that school officials “ have heard from many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your hurt and anger that this access was permitted , ” but it makes sure to add that “ allowing police officers into the space was in no way meant to undermine Berklee ’ s support for Black Lives Matter.
” The letter concludes : We understand that many members of our community feel betrayed .
We are deeply sorry for the impact this had on our community and for perpetuating feelings of oppression , silencing , and marginalization .
We will make a more concerted effort to consider the effects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this should not have happened , and going forward , it will not happen again .
Thankfully , this letter appears to have backfired on the college ’ s administration , as they now seem to be getting more backlash for issuing the apology than they ever did for letting police officers use the restrooms in the first place .
“ This is a ridiculous overreach by school administration , ” one commenter wrote .
“ I ’ m ashamed of their cowardice .
These people aren ’ t leaders and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that are there to protect your property , as well as the rest of the city , use the restroom or the building to stage ?
Really ?
Whoever made the decision was being human , and made a good choice to help these officers .
I feel badly they have to answer to these clowns .
We thought Berklee was better than this , but it has given us serious pause in our future relationship with them.
” “ Law enforcement is essential for keeping our students , our children , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m grateful you showed them kindness , ” another commenter added .
“ I ’ m disappointed however , that you promise ‘ never again ’ to show such kindness .
How sad you should give in to bullies this way .
I ’ ll remember to say ‘ never again ’ when you ask for a donation.
” A third commenter reminded school officials that Boston police officers have seen their community through the darkest of times : “ Perhaps you don ’ t remember , but there have been police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Boston Marathon run , including in 2013 when they cared for the injured , got people safely out of the area in case there were more devices , and oh , with the help of the FBI found the bombers in just FOUR days , FOUR !
Then there were the many Championship Parades that they have been assigned to , many on mandatory overtime , at the same intersection in front of your school .
Their presence never bothered anyone , including the plethora of drunk Berklee students they assisted where they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EMS for the children who were too drunk to walk away safely .
Letting them use your facilities doesn ’ t make you a hero , but refusing to let them use the facilities makes you ridiculous.
” We truly are living in some sad times if police officers can ’ t even use a bathroom at a college without a scandal ensuing .

It goes on to say that school officials “have heard from many of you personally and across social channels of your hurt and anger that this access was permitted,” but it makes sure to add that “allowing police officers into the space was in no way meant to undermine Berklee’s support for Black Lives Matter.” The letter concludes:
We understand that many members of our community feel betrayed. We are deeply sorry for the impact this had on our community and for perpetuating feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalization. We will make a more concerted effort to consider the effects of our actions. Let us assure you, this should not have happened, and going forward, it will not happen again.
Thankfully, this letter appears to have backfired on the college’s administration, as they now seem to be getting more backlash for issuing the apology than they ever did for letting police officers use the restrooms in the first place. “This is a ridiculous overreach by school administration,” one commenter wrote. “I’m ashamed of their cowardice. These people aren’t leaders and it shows. You cant let the police, that are there to protect your property, as well as the rest of the city, use the restroom or the building to stage? Really? Whoever made the decision was being human, and made a good choice to help these officers. I feel badly they have to answer to these clowns. We thought Berklee was better than this, but it has given us serious pause in our future relationship with them.”
“Law enforcement is essential for keeping our students, our children, safe in the city. And I’m grateful you showed them kindness,” another commenter added. “I’m disappointed however, that you promise ‘never again’ to show such kindness. How sad you should give in to bullies this way. I’ll remember to say ‘never again’ when you ask for a donation.”
A third commenter reminded school officials that Boston police officers have seen their community through the darkest of times:
“Perhaps you don’t remember, but there have been police posted at the same intersection for every Boston Marathon run, including in 2013 when they cared for the injured, got people safely out of the area in case there were more devices, and oh, with the help of the FBI found the bombers in just FOUR days, FOUR! Then there were the many Championship Parades that they have been assigned to, many on mandatory overtime, at the same intersection in front of your school. Their presence never bothered anyone, including the plethora of drunk Berklee students they assisted where they were going, or when they called EMS for the children who were too drunk to walk away safely. Letting them use your facilities doesn’t make you a hero, but refusing to let them use the facilities makes you ridiculous.”
We truly are living in some sad times if police officers can’t even use a bathroom at a college without a scandal ensuing.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-12--WATCH: Protester Suffers Life-Threatening Injuries After Confederate Statue Topples On His Head

A mob of crazed , hammer-wielding liberal loons gathered to tear down yet another “ racist ” statue in Portsmouth , Virginia Wednesday night .
This time , the primary target was Jefferson Davis : the former Democratic president of the Confederate States .
The mob succeeded , but not without suffering their own casualties .
One man , identified by Black Lives Matter 757 chapter as Chris Green , was part of a group of protestors trying to take down the Confederate monument near Virginia ’ s coast .
Green had been at the front of the statue when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its way down .
The surrounding mob , completely unaware of what had occurred , kept on cheering the fallen statue .
You can watch the video of the incident below : According to local news station WAVY , Green and others were using bolt cutters , hammers , and other objects to chip away at the Portsmouth Confederate monument .
The mob had already beheaded four Confederate statues before pulling the Jefferson Davis statue down by using a rope .
Green was front and center to the Davis statue as the mob @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witness told WAVY , “ It came and fully hit him in the head , and we could see that his skull was actually showing .
He was convulsing on the ground.
” After Green was injured , the crowd continued to cheer their victorious effort—until some realized one of their own was on the ground and in bad shape .
Protestors and nearby police began clearing the crowd out at that point , and Green was thereafter taken to a local hospital .

Green ’ s wife , Tonieh Brisbane-Green , told 13News Now her husband flat-lined twice while on the way to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital after the accident .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-12--Trump Promises To ‘Straighten Out’ Anarchists In Seattle If Democrats Won’t

President Trump vowed to “ straighten out ” anarchists who have taken control of a so-called ‘ autonomous zone ’ in Seattle after the mayor downplayed it as nothing more than a “ block party.
” In an interview with Fox News ’ Harris Faulkner , Trump said his administration is “ not going to let Seattle be occupied by anarchists.
” “ If there were more toughness , you wouldn ’ t have the kind of devastation that you had in Minneapolis and in Seattle .
I mean , let ’ s see what ’ s going on in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I will tell you , if they don ’ t straighten that situation out , we ’ re going to straighten it out , ” he insisted .
Trump is referring to anarchists who have taken over a six-block area in Seattle they call the “ Capital Hill Autonomous Zone.
” These criminals have enlisted armed guards to control access to the zone , and there have been reports that businesses within the area are being required to pay a fee to continue operation .
The police precinct was also abandoned , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the new zone .
The President has properly dubbed these anarchists “ domestic terrorists.
” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan , however , defended the move to abandon the police precinct and said the takeover by rioters was “ more like a block party atmosphere.
” Imagine being that completely separated from reality .
Regardless of how you feel about current protests in America , you can ’ t simply abandon an entire swath of a city to armed anarchists and say , ‘ Hey , that ’ s cool , it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Somebody has to restore law and order .
And if Mayor Durkan and Washington Governor Jay Inslee ( D ) aren ’ t willing to do it … enter the law and order President .
Describing Durkan ’ s response as “ pathetic , ” Trump demanded Inslee send in National Guard troops to restore order .
“ He ’ s got great National Guard troops so he can do it , ” the President said .
“ But one way or the other , it ’ s going to get done .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a major portion of a great city.
” Trump went on to describe the in-custody death of George Floyd , which has led to the riots and domestic terrorist uprisings we ’ re seeing in Seattle , as “ eight minutes of horror ” and “ a disgrace.
” But he reasonably refused to paint all police with the broad brush of being bad cops as the Democrats have .
“ Police aren ’ t like that .
I mean , I ’ ve seen so many incredible things that they do , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t see that … You don ’ t put it on television .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-12--DOJ: Widespread ‘Protesters’ Use Of Violence And Weapons, Arrests Made

There are those Democrats and members of the media that would have you believe that the recent unrest on U.S. streets was the product of idealistic protesters letting off steam .
Don ’ t buy that for a minute .
Many were dangerous terrorists being guided by a yet unseen hand .
A federal report released Wednesday chronicles some examples of their threats to public safety and law enforcement .
Given the data in the report , the U.S. Justice Department said it has filed dozens of charges for riot-related federal offenses in the aftermath of the George Floyd riots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pointer at an FBI aircraft overhead in Milwaukee and another for torching the Third Precinct police station in Minneapolis and stealing items from it .
For example , Branden Michael Wolfe , 23 , was seen on June 3 “ wearing body armor and a law enforcement duty belt and carrying a baton ” as he tried to enter a Lowe ’ s store in St. Paul , Minnesota .
Wolfe had previously worked as a security guard at the store , but was “ fired earlier that day after referring to social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Third Precinct , ” the DOJ report said .
When he was nabbed , Wolfe was allegedly wearing multiple items stolen from the Third Precinct , including “ body armor , a police-issue duty belt with handcuffs , an earphone piece , baton , and knife.
” Attesting to his idiocy , Wolfe ’ s name was “ handwritten in duct tape on the back of the body armor.
” He may as well have used a crayon with half the letters written backwards .

There are those Democrats and members of the media that would have you believe that the recent unrest on U.S. streets was the product of idealistic protesters letting off steam. Don’t buy that for a minute. Many were dangerous terrorists being guided by a yet unseen hand. A federal report released Wednesday chronicles some examples of their threats to public safety and law enforcement.
Given the data in the report, the U.S. Justice Department said it has filed dozens of charges for riot-related federal offenses in the aftermath of the George Floyd riots, including for aiming a green laser pointer at an FBI aircraft overhead in Milwaukee and another for torching the Third Precinct police station in Minneapolis and stealing items from it.
For example, Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, was seen on June 3 “wearing body armor and a law enforcement duty belt and carrying a baton” as he tried to enter a Lowe’s store in St. Paul, Minnesota. Wolfe had previously worked as a security guard at the store, but was “fired earlier that day after referring to social media posts about stealing items from the Third Precinct,” the DOJ report said.
When he was nabbed, Wolfe was allegedly wearing multiple items stolen from the Third Precinct, including “body armor, a police-issue duty belt with handcuffs, an earphone piece, baton, and knife.” Attesting to his idiocy, Wolfe’s name was “handwritten in duct tape on the back of the body armor.”
He may as well have used a crayon with half the letters written backwards.
Police later recovered a “riot helmet, 9mm pistol magazine, police radio, and police issue overdose kit” from Wolfe’s residence. He confessed to throwing a barrel into the fire at the police station and then entering the station to steal anything he could.
In a further incident, the feds in St. Louis used social media forensics to track down 19-year-old Devante Coffie, who broke into the Southside Pawn Shop and stole 32 handguns and two long guns. Coffie “cut himself on the broken glass of the window that had been used to enter the building,” the DOJ report said.
With that much stolen gunpower he was a clear threat to public safety, as he tried to sell the weapons to city rioters.
Investigators nailed Coffie after “monitoring social media in an attempt to find information about the burglary… Not only was he trying to sell the firearms on social media, but also a video showed Coffie’s hands had multiple bandages on them. At the time of his arrest, Coffie had in his possession one of the stolen firearms from the burglary.”
In still other incidents, Matthew Michanowicz allegedly placed a “backpack of homemade explosives in downtown” Pittsburgh; Charles Anthony Pittman is accused of arson of Fayetteville’s Historic Market House in North Carolina; and Zachary Alexander Karas had numerous Molotov cocktails in La Mesa, CA.
A Wisconsin laser pointer arrest came after police noticed, from May 31 through June 7, “several incidents of individuals pointing green laser beams at law enforcement aircraft operated by the FBI and Wisconsin National Guard.” Those beams can blind pilots.
On June 7, the DOJ report said, law enforcement agents on the ground “observed two individuals near W. Chambers Street and N. 1st Street in the City of Milwaukee targeting a green laser beam at an FBI aircraft. One of the individuals pointing the laser beam matched the description of rioter Jeremiah Belen.”
Think those “protests” were peaceful and had anything to do with justice of any kind? Think again.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-12--Disney Facing Pressure To Re-Theme Splash Mountain Because Of Ties To ‘Racism’

Social justice warriors have now shifted their focus to targeting Splash Mountain , one of the most popular rides at Walt Disney World in Florida , Tokyo Disneyland , and at Disneyland in California .
Despite the popularity of the rides , social media users who are obsessed with political correctness are demanding that the ride be re-themed because it apparently has ties to “ racism.
” The amusement park ride is based on the controversial 1946 Disney film “ Song of the South , ” as it includes characters from the movie like Brer Rabbit , Brer Bear , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been widely criticized in modern times for the way it depicts blacks and the post-Civil War south , according to Breitbart News .
Today , the animated characters on the ride are likely best known for their appearance in the harmless song “ Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
” Both Splash Mountain and “ Song of the South ” began trending on Twitter on Wednesday , and a Change.org petition demanding the ride be re-themed is quickly going viral .
“ While the ride is considered a beloved classic , it ’ s history and storyline are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tropes from the 1946 film ‘ Song of the South , ’ ” states the petition , which has garnered nearly 13,000 signatures at the time of this writing .
The petition goes on to demand that the ride be re-themed to something from the 2009 Disney movie “ The Princess and the Frog , ” which features the first black Disney princess .
Former Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger has already condemned the movie “ Song of the South , ” saying that it ’ s “ not appropriate in today ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not be included on Disney ’ s streaming service Disney+ , even with an “ outdated cultural depictions disclaimer.
” Racial tensions are at an all-time high , and crazed social justice warriors are taking this opportunity to dub absolutely everything they can as “ racist ” and “ offensive.
” We hope that Disney will stay strong in the face of this relentless backlash , but given all that has happened in recent weeks , you should not be surprised if Splash Mountain is re-themed very soon .

When the PC Thought Police attacks , as in this case under the trendy umbrella of the racist Black Lives Matter group , they usually go after their enemies .
But in a case of blue on blue violence , they have gone after one of their own : professor Harald Uhlig .
Granted , not one of their craziest members , but a loyal Democrat who probably did not expect this kind of treatment at the hands of his erstwhile pals .
Rabid authoritarian anti-free speech advocate and University of Michigan academic Justin Wolfers joined dozens of other ivory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have Uhlig , a University of Chicago professor , sacked from his position at perhaps the world ’ s leading economics journal because he criticized Black Lives Matter ’ s push to defund police departments .
In a petition addressed to the management of the Journal of Political Economy , frothing Bolsheviks led by Wolfers accuse senior editor Uhlig of “ trivializing the Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) movement ” and “ hurting and marginalizing people of color and their allies in the economics profession.
” Black Lives Matter openly champions a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tooth reparations , and the “ immediate release ” of everyone convicted of a drug offense .
That is on top of defunding police forces and other far left-wing agenda items .
Oh yeah , and they are guttersnipe racist thugs .
The petition goes on to falsely accuse Uhlig , a professor in economics at the University of Chicago , of “ drawing parallels between the BLM movement and the Ku Klux Klan.
” Uhlig said no such thing .
But I will , to wit : The only differences between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are their pigments .

” Krugman is , of course , white .
But not all public intellectuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ So revealing how eagerly these fanatics support purging and firing wrong thinkers , ” wrote sometimes brilliant writer Andrew Sullivan , responding to calls for Uhlig to step down .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-12--Robert De Niro Says He Is ‘Certainly Looking Forward To’ President Trump Being In Prison

During an appearance on MSNBC ’ s “ The Last Word with Lawrence O ’ Donnell ” on Thursday night , Hollywood star Robert De Niro outrageously said that he is “ looking forward ” to President Donald Trump being sent to jail , even though there is no indication that this will ever happen .
“ They didn ’ t allow much access the way I understand it to Madoff , ” said De Niro , who played disgraced investor Bernie Madoff onscreen .
“ With Trump when he ’ s in jail and that I am certainly looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in jail , if they give him a platform there , he ’ ll never keep his mouth shut .
Madoff , for some reason , they stopped .
I know people that interviewed him had very limited access to him .
But with Trump , it will be— he ’ s another form of being.
” Despite the fact that this is totally ridiculous , O ’ Donnell agreed with him , saying , “ When you look at Madoff and Trump , they both seem to have that sociopathic quality of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it ’ s like to be somebody else.
” “ That ’ s what I realized right after he was elected when I was on Jimmy Kimmel , ” De Niro offered .
“ I said give him a chance , always give somebody the benefit of the doubt .
But that was not the case .
He ’ s been worse than any of us could have imagined , any of us could have imagined .
It ’ s— there is something , you know , I don ’ t want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve done all that .
He ’ s worse than we could ever imagine .
It ’ s beyond comprehension.
” As someone who plays pretend for a living , De Niro has no qualifications whatsoever to be commenting on politics , yet the liberal media loves having him do so because he will say absolutely anything to make Trump look bad .

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” on Thursday night, Hollywood star Robert De Niro outrageously said that he is “looking forward” to President Donald Trump being sent to jail, even though there is no indication that this will ever happen.
“They didn’t allow much access the way I understand it to Madoff,” said De Niro, who played disgraced investor Bernie Madoff onscreen. “With Trump when he’s in jail and that I am certainly looking forward to, when he’s in jail, if they give him a platform there, he’ll never keep his mouth shut. Madoff, for some reason, they stopped. I know people that interviewed him had very limited access to him. But with Trump, it will be— he’s another form of being.”
Despite the fact that this is totally ridiculous, O’Donnell agreed with him, saying, “When you look at Madoff and Trump, they both seem to have that sociopathic quality of zero empathy, no ability to see what it’s like to be somebody else.”
“That’s what I realized right after he was elected when I was on Jimmy Kimmel,” De Niro offered. “I said give him a chance, always give somebody the benefit of the doubt. But that was not the case. He’s been worse than any of us could have imagined, any of us could have imagined. It’s— there is something, you know, I don’t want to call him names. I’ve done all that. He’s worse than we could ever imagine. It’s beyond comprehension.”
