White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized former National Security Adviser John Bolton , saying he had self-debunked his own book and was quickly becoming the most disliked man in America .
Bolton ’ s memoir , titled “ The Room Where It Happened , ” makes many dubious claims , including allegations that President Trump asked for help with his election from Chinese President Xi Jinping .
In an interview with “ Fox & Friends , ” McEnany said previous claims by Bolton that the President was “ perfectly prepared ” and that he “ understands President Reagan ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ render his new allegations weak .
In fact , she expanded on that theme attacking Bolton ’ s reputation as a war hawk .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-18--Live By the Sword, Die By It: The Delicious Downfall Of Rick Wilson

Rick Wilson was a little known Republican operative before 2016 .
A little known operative with mountains of crushing debt .
A guy desperate for a reinvention to rescue his career .
Wilson hitched himself to Trump as Trump began his meteoric rise to the top of the GOP .
Wilson didn ’ t take the route of some opportunists and become Trump ’ s number one fan , instead Wilson sought to reinvent himself as Trump ’ s number one critic .
And to Wilson ’ s credit , it worked .
Wilson carved out a lucrative space in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the guy willing to say anything – no matter how vile or how baseless – to try to damage Trump .
Wilson ’ s schtick – half wannabe Andrew Dice Clay , half Krassenstein brothers tin foil hattery – became a fixture on MSNBC and CNN .
Every time Wilson ’ s schtick crossed the line – like when he demeaned Trump supporters as “ boomer rubes ” on Don Lemon ’ s show – Wilson ’ s retort has been to claim that his critics are acting in bad faith and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t like anyone who punches back .
It ’ s worth noting that Wilson apparently doesn ’ t like anyone who punches back either .
Since he is famously quick to block anyone on social media who disagrees with him ( myself included ) .
No matter how any times Wilson spun baseless conspiracy theories and no matter how many times he tossed around vulgar insults , the left-wing media would continue to indulge him .
Then this week happened .
In the midst of the fallout from the death of George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the Black Lives Matter movement – The Lincoln Project , co-founded by Wilson , launched an incendiary attack on Trump with an ad claiming Trump was the “ second President of the Confederacy.
” The liberal media lapped up the ad – giving it millions in free air time .
Of course that further lined the pockets of Wilson and company , whose Lincoln Project PAC has repeatedly been referred to as a “ grift ” and a “ scam.
” The only problem for Wilson is that the real fan of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t President Trump .
It ’ s Rick and his wife .
Photos of Rick and his wife ’ s cooler – emblazoned with a giant Confederate battle flag and the phrase “ THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN ” – emerged on social media .
Wilson initially deleted the picture from social media .
Then , he claimed it was fake .
Unfortunately for Wilson , more photos of the racist cooler emerged from his wife ’ s social media .
Rick ’ s wife ’ s social media turned out to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and homophobic garbage – all of the things that Rick and his NeverTrump cohorts falsely accuse President Trump of being guilty of .
The inherent danger in Rick ’ s high wire live-by-the-sword , die-by-the-sword routine was always that he would eventually toss a loaded grenade that would blow up in his face .
We have always known that Wilson was everything he claimed to hate about Trump – a petty , vicious , thin-skinned vulgarian .
The left-wing media has always been willing to overlook Wilson ’ s hypocrisy .
They view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never-ending campaign to destroy President Trump .
Will The Left-Wing Media Overlook This ?
In today ’ s racially charged environment , as Confederate statues are toppled and every symbol of the Confederacy is being scrubbed from the nation , will the left-wing media be willing to overlook this grossest of Wilson ’ s hypocrisies ?
If Gone with the Wind and Aunt Jemima deserve to be cancelled , shouldn ’ t Wilson ?
One thing is absolutely certain , Wilson ’ s implosion has been delicious to watch .
Pull up a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popcorn – cancel culture might finally do us a favor .

And to Wilson’s credit, it worked.
Rick Wilson Reinvents Himself
The Rick Wilson reinvent made him a NeverTrump star.
Wilson carved out a lucrative space in the left-wing media. He’s the guy willing to say anything – no matter how vile or how baseless – to try to damage Trump. Wilson’s schtick – half wannabe Andrew Dice Clay, half Krassenstein brothers tin foil hattery – became a fixture on MSNBC and CNN.

Liberal Media Indulges Wilson
No matter how any times Wilson spun baseless conspiracy theories and no matter how many times he tossed around vulgar insults, the left-wing media would continue to indulge him.

The liberal media lapped up the ad – giving it millions in free air time. Of course that further lined the pockets of Wilson and company, whose Lincoln Project PAC has repeatedly been referred to as a “grift” and a “scam.”
The only problem for Wilson is that the real fan of the Confederacy and white nationalism isn’t President Trump. It’s Rick and his wife.
Caught In Web Of Deceit
Photos of Rick and his wife’s cooler – emblazoned with a giant Confederate battle flag and the phrase “THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN” – emerged on social media. Wilson initially deleted the picture from social media. Then, he claimed it was fake. Unfortunately for Wilson, more photos of the racist cooler emerged from his wife’s social media.

Rick’s wife’s social media turned out to be a treasure trove of racist, xenophobic and homophobic garbage – all of the things that Rick and his NeverTrump cohorts falsely accuse President Trump of being guilty of.
The inherent danger in Rick’s high wire live-by-the-sword, die-by-the-sword routine was always that he would eventually toss a loaded grenade that would blow up in his face. We have always known that Wilson was everything he claimed to hate about Trump – a petty, vicious, thin-skinned vulgarian.
The left-wing media has always been willing to overlook Wilson’s hypocrisy. They view him as a useful idiot in their never-ending campaign to destroy President Trump.

If so and it was published, the book could do serious damage to the country’s defense posture and international security status.
There are also those quoted in the book who claim Bolton is not relating the facts accurately.
A source close to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told media late Wednesday: “Bolton is about selling books, not about telling the truth.“ Bolton claimed, during an international meeting, Pompeo passed him a note about the president that read, “He is so full of sh**.” The source added that Pompeo isn’t a note-passer, and suggested Bolton should verify his claim by producing the purported note.
Other Trump officials, including veep Mike Pence, Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin, are telling the press that Bolton is making up conversations out of whole cloth.
The president counterattacked in an interview with “Hannity” on Wednesday night and in tweets early Thursday, Trump called Bolton a “Wacko,” a “dope,” and a “disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war.” Trump said The New York Times had described Bolton’s book as “exceedingly tedious,” Trump added: “President Bush fired him also. Bolton is incompetent!”
Wacko John Bolton’s “exceedingly tedious”(New York Times) book is made up of lies & fake stories. Said all good about me, in print, until the day I fired him.

On the 2020 ticket Trump, “raised the widespread political rumor he would dump [Vice President Mike] Pence from the ticket in 2020 and run instead with [then-U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki] Haley, asking what I thought.”

He said that some (unnamed) American political figures were making erroneous judgments by calling for a new Cold War with China. Whether Xi meant to finger the Democrats or some of us sitting on the U.S. side of the table, I don’t know, but Trump immediately assumed that Xi meant the Democrats.
“Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win. He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome.”
Bolton writes: “Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.”
The claims that the president considered replacing Pence and making common cause with the Chinese on concentration camps flies in the face of not only the president’s public and privately reported words, but all of his actions to this point.

” “ If you mean Kevin , white guys that were given a huge leg up in life by having a father who was a major figure in Architecture — the great Edmund Bacon — or a mother who was a liberal activist , then I understand , ” he wrote , going on to add that others like him “ grew up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jobs to give us a chance at a better life.
” “ Your call to muzzle old white guys does a huge disservice to our nation during a time of perilous but exciting change , ” added Davi , 68 .

“ I will speak out about how America ’ s youth has been indoctrinated by a corrupt culture and education system that has neglected to teach the true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cultural propaganda.
” Not stopping there , Davi said that he will always take a stand against those who are “ denigrating our flag and not standing for our national anthem , ” against abortion , environmental issues , and the mainstream media ’ s “ fueling the flames of racism.
” Instead of being silent , as Bacon wants him to be , he promised that he will do the opposite and expose the Democratic Party “ that has ruined every city they are in power in.

“This destruction has occurred while all you bleeding hearts in Hollywood continue to bump fists over how great the party is. I will speak out against that hypocrisy, Kevin,” Davi explained, adding that he will “speak out against rioting and looting. I will speak out against demonizing all police because of what some may do!”
“It’s unAmerican for Kevin Bacon to demand ‘old white guys’ or any American to keep their mouths shut,” Davi declared towards the end of his piece. “Political correctness has stapled our mouths shut for far too long. I will speak out against all the agitprop that is used to separate us as human beings.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-17--Extremist Liberal Groups Warn Biden To Cave Over Riots, Or Else

On Monday , over 50 ultra-leftist fringe groups sent a letter to de facto Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden , insisting his response to riots in the wake of George Floyd ’ s death has been “ far from sufficient.
” They claimed his past legislative record in the Senate was lacking in proper adherence to their ideology and warned he could lose the election without the support of radical black groups .
While Biden needs a strong black turnout to win , especially as President Donald Trump looks to have more than doubled his support with black voters and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he knows more votes will come from the black middle class than from the kind of hardcore progressive black and left-wing groups that sent him this message .
“ As the presumptive Democratic nominee for President , you have a moral responsibility in this moment .
Making amends for the harm you ’ ve caused is an important first step , but it is no longer enough… Violence and racism pervades and defines our policing and criminal justice systems .
You have designed and endorsed policies that have significantly exacerbated these problems .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ supported but in many cases authored and championed laws that expanded mass incarceration , increased police powers , and exacerbated racial disparities in surveillance and sentencing .
These laws broke apart black communities and robbed many young black people of a future .
They are a part of the history that has led us to this moment , and their ongoing fallout has contributed to the outpourings of grief and anger we are seeing today .
“ You can not win the election without the enthusiastic support of black voters , and how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will play a big role in determining how black voters , and all voters concerned with racial justice , respond to your candidacy .
A ‘ return to normalcy ’ will not suffice , ” the letter reads .
The claims in the letter may strike many as incongruous .
Obviously Biden did not specifically back legislation , during his time in the Senate during the Clinton administration , that “ supported but in many cases authored and championed laws that expanded mass incarceration.
” To be jailed , people have to commit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminals .
The incarceration was a logical consequence of the criminal deeds .
Also , referring to the violent riots , arson , and looting as of late as “ outpourings of grief and anger ” stretches limits of credulity .
The letter is signed by far-left groups including the Bernie Sanders-linked Our Revolution , Black Votes Matter , the League of United Latin American Citizens , Working Families Party , United We Dream Action and the Sunrise Movement .
Biden recently said on the subject , “ While I do not believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violating people ’ s rights or turning to violence as the first resort , I do not support defunding police .
The better answer is to give police departments the resources they need to implement meaningful reforms , and to condition other federal dollars on completing those reforms.
” His dilemma , how to navigate the dangerous shoals between loyally Democrat black middle class voters and strident and press-sponsored black leftist groups , will be a problem Biden will likely face from now until November .

A GREAT woman. Her son is looking down from heaven & is very proud of his wonderful & loving mom!!! https://t.co/ZzKUbjlOOT — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 17, 2020

Cooper-Jones’ son was out jogging in February when he was killed by two white locals, one of whom later turned out to be a former police officer who suspected him of burglary.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-17--Mike Pence Blasts Media For Trying To ‘Scare’ People With ‘Overblown’ Fears Of COVID Second Wave

Vice President Mike Pence just spoke out to call out the mainstream media for their shameless fear-mongering , accusing them of trying to “ scare ” people by stirring up “ panic ” over a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic .
In an op-ed published on Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal , Pence held nothing back as he blasted the media for what they are doing .
“ In recent days , the media has taken to sounding the alarm bells over a ‘ second wave ’ of coronavirus infections .
Such panic is overblown , ” Pence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of President Trump and the courage and compassion of the American people , our public health system is far stronger than it was four months ago , and we are winning the fight against the invisible enemy.
” He penned this op-ed in response to an increasing number of media reports from leftwing outlets that a second wave of COVID-19 is starting to hit parts of the United States .
The New York Times reported on Sunday that 22 states had seen an increase in coronavirus cases since reopening , and The Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had reported record highs .
Pence , however , was not having any of it .
“ While talk of an increase in cases dominates cable news coverage , more than half of states are actually seeing cases decline or remain stable , ” Pence wrote .
The vice president went on to point out that we have already achieved the goal of slowing the spread of COVID-19 so that the health system would not be overwhelmed , meaning there is no reason to remain on lockdown any longer .
In the end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media is trying to do , and he knows most other Americans do too .
“ The media has tried to scare the American people every step of the way , and these grim predictions of a second wave are no different .
The truth is , whatever the media says , our whole-of-America approach has been a success , ” Pence said .
“ We ’ ve slowed the spread , we ’ ve cared for the most vulnerable , we ’ ve saved lives , and we ’ ve created a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face in the future .
That ’ s a cause for celebration , not the media ’ s fearmongering.

Such panic is overblown,” Pence wrote. “Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and the courage and compassion of the American people, our public health system is far stronger than it was four months ago, and we are winning the fight against the invisible enemy.”
He penned this op-ed in response to an increasing number of media reports from leftwing outlets that a second wave of COVID-19 is starting to hit parts of the United States. The New York Times reported on Sunday that 22 states had seen an increase in coronavirus cases since reopening, and The Washington Post added last week that nine states had reported record highs. Pence, however, was not having any of it. “While talk of an increase in cases dominates cable news coverage, more than half of states are actually seeing cases decline or remain stable,” Pence wrote.
The vice president went on to point out that we have already achieved the goal of slowing the spread of COVID-19 so that the health system would not be overwhelmed, meaning there is no reason to remain on lockdown any longer. In the end, Pence sees right through what the media is trying to do, and he knows most other Americans do too.
“The media has tried to scare the American people every step of the way, and these grim predictions of a second wave are no different. The truth is, whatever the media says, our whole-of-America approach has been a success,” Pence said. “We’ve slowed the spread, we’ve cared for the most vulnerable, we’ve saved lives, and we’ve created a solid foundation for whatever challenges we may face in the future. That’s a cause for celebration, not the media’s fearmongering.”
