westernjournal--2020-07-17--Op-Ed: How To Debate a Leftist (Especially if People Are Watching)

Most of us enjoyed the Independence Day fireworks earlier this month .
The celebrations were colorful and loud , helping us remember the freedoms we enjoy in America are based upon self-evident truths found in God-given unalienable rights .
Others don ’ t believe in the ideals declared when this nation was founded .
Instead , they believe America began as a source of oppression and tyranny .
The rage of these mobs threatens violence throughout the land in order to overturn the system in favor of a Marxist fantasy that has never existed .
Few people side with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know how to confront the ideas the left shouts at us from every media platform .
While you can usually avoid a mob riot with ease , you ’ re likely to run into someone in your circles who will repeat what they ’ ve heard from the messaging on cable TV , Facebook , Twitter , The New York Times and other print media that supports the ideas assaulting our country ’ s founding .
How do you combat this with your family and friends ?
What to do ?
Do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ try to sneak away going about your business ?
Let me encourage you to confront the philosophy behind the mob in order to preserve all you celebrated last weekend .
This column will provide a method to win a debate with a leftist .
When a conservative stands up to a leftist , the conservative wins the argument .
The leftist won ’ t be converted when they are tied to their indoctrination , but everyone in the audience or around the conversation will realize we have won .
After all , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people you ’ re trying to reach : not the liberals entrenched in their ways , but everyone around them not yet infected by dogma .
How can we be confident that we will win those debates ?
Because we know the left ’ s arguments and can combat them .
We hear it every day and know the flaws in the thinking controlled by feelings .
But liberals have little understanding of our ideas .
They live in a cocoon , rarely hearing our truths .
If they didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honest about the world we live in , they would join us .
So don ’ t be afraid to engage your neighbor or work colleague , let alone a family member .
They won ’ t see you coming .
And you don ’ t even have to argue .
All you need to do is clarify the differences between the liberals and conservatives and it becomes obvious : We care and they don ’ t .
That ’ s it ; that ’ s our call to arms .
I can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ five words : We care and they don ’ t .
As conservatives , we care about people ; we care about our spouses , our families and our fellow man .
We love our neighbor as ourselves .
We have commonsense , sustainable solutions that are proven to work .
But if we are going to win Gen Z and millennials ( and perhaps their parents ) we must approach the discussion from a different place than they ’ ve been accustomed to .
We must use the starting point that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Don ’ t get me wrong .
It will be our ideas and our policies that prove our concern .
But the old adage is still true : No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care .
As conservatives , our brand has been attacked and we need to restore it by making the case that we care and they don ’ t .
The left cares about power and control .
Conservatives care about humanity one person at a time creating “ the greatest good for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having the greatest amount of control over the greatest number .
They care about gaining and keeping power .
Leftists will personally attack anyone who has conservative ideas , but notice that they attack the person , not the ideas .
They do their best to destroy that person , as they tried to do with Justice Brett Kavanaugh .
The truth is that we care and they don ’ t .
That ’ s the opposite of how we are portrayed , and we must refute the false narrative head-on .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it !
Want to know how ?
The method is a simple three-step approach to prove we care and they don ’ t on each and every issue the left thinks it owns .
Let your friends and neighbors decide which issue to discuss .
They might not be interested in what you wish to discuss , so don ’ t try to beat your issue into their heads .
Start by asking : What ’ s important to you about this election ?
Second , ask Socratic questions about their topic .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that cause a person to learn by leading a person ’ s thinking toward facts rather than feelings .
Ask questions that get to the truth of things , that open up issues and problems , that uncover assumptions , that analyze concepts and distinguish what we know from what we assume .
Too often , we ask questions as if we are ignorant , using a preface such as “ I don ’ t understand , ” and we set up the person we are speaking to as if they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the left know anything other than what has been hyped in the media , including the idea that you as a conservative don ’ t know anything and need to be taught or re-educated .
Third , be ready with facts and examples of how conservative policies result in greater happiness for the greatest number of people .
In further columns , I ’ ll be offering a few examples of political questions that are in the news , such as racism , abortion , gun control and illegal immigration .
Write to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future columns .
Of course , we will tackle the larger question of socialism versus liberty that is becoming a central theme in 2020 and answer it directly with love and logic .

westernjournal--2020-07-17--Suspect Accused of Brutal Attack on NYPD Chief Released from Jail Without Bail

In a shocking move on Thursday , New York City Civil Court Judge Robert Rosenthal released without bail one of three alleged assailants caught on video attacking police officers , including the chief of police , on the Brooklyn Bridge .
Rosenthal is a Democrat who was elected to the court in 2019 .
“ One of the two men arrested for attacking an NYPD lieutenant and NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan was released without bail Thursday night , with the judge granting him supervised release , ” WABC-TV reported .
“ Police identified him as 25-year-old Quran Campbell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , also 25 , was being held on $ 10,000 bail.
” According to Fox News , a third suspect , Chanice Reyes , 24 , was taken into custody Thursday near City Hall in Manhattan .
Reyes is accused of attacking officers with a cane .

Video of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
WARNING : The following video contains graphic violence that some viewers will find disturbing .
The prayer marchers had been making their way to Lower Manhattan , waving American flags and holding signs that said “ Jesus save New York , ” the New York Daily News reported .
Campbell is accused of punching Chief Monahan , the highest-ranking uniformed officer , several times in the face , according to the New York Post .
Monahan responded on Twitter to the judge ’ s release of Campbell without bail .
“ Judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ release Mr. Campbell WITHOUT BAIL endangers every NYer and the officers who risk it all to protect them , ” he tweeted .
The Brooklyn Bridge incident is just one of the near-daily videos coming out of New York City showing brutal daylight attacks against innocent men and women .
RELATED : Video Shows Protesters Receive Shipment of Bats Just Before Bloody Bridge Brawl with NYPD Last April , New York lawmakers enacted legislation limiting the criminal charges for which defendants could be required to post bail .
Unsurprisingly , a sharp rise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followed .
However , even the new bail law listed violent felony as a “ qualified offense ” that is bail-eligible .
Judge Rosenthal had every legal means to impose bail , yet chose not to do so .
How likely is it that the offender caught on video attacking the police chief will feel free to attack again ?
And what does that tell other potential violent offenders when you can punch a police officer in the face and still be out on the street on “ supervised release ” ?
Between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and defunding 1.5 billion dollars of the police budget , New York City is turning into a real-life Gotham — but without a Batman to protect it .
Even if Batman did show up , the Democrats in the city would probably make him out to be the bad guy for causing criminals to face consequences .

“One of the two men arrested for attacking an NYPD lieutenant and NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan was released without bail Thursday night, with the judge granting him supervised release,” WABC-TV reported.
“Police identified him as 25-year-old Quran Campbell. The second suspect, Banks Shaborn, also 25, was being held on $10,000 bail.”
According to Fox News, a third suspect, Chanice Reyes, 24, was taken into custody Thursday near City Hall in Manhattan. Reyes is accused of attacking officers with a cane.
Officers were allegedly beaten by anti-police activists who tried to disrupt a peaceful pro-NYPD “Power of Prayer” march along the bridge on Wednesday. Video of the violent assault went viral shortly afterward.

The prayer marchers had been making their way to Lower Manhattan, waving American flags and holding signs that said “Jesus save New York,” the New York Daily News reported.

Campbell is accused of punching Chief Monahan, the highest-ranking uniformed officer, several times in the face, according to the New York Post.
Monahan responded on Twitter to the judge’s release of Campbell without bail.
“Judge Robert Rosenthal’s reckless decision to release Mr. Campbell WITHOUT BAIL endangers every NYer and the officers who risk it all to protect them,” he tweeted.
Quran Campbell is captured on video for the nation to witness him viciously assault 3 cops in uniform — 1 who lost consciousness.

The Brooklyn Bridge incident is just one of the near-daily videos coming out of New York City showing brutal daylight attacks against innocent men and women.
Last April, New York lawmakers enacted legislation limiting the criminal charges for which defendants could be required to post bail. Unsurprisingly, a sharp rise in crimes being re-committed by released defendants followed.
However, even the new bail law listed violent felony as a “qualified offense” that is bail-eligible. Judge Rosenthal had every legal means to impose bail, yet chose not to do so.
How likely is it that the offender caught on video attacking the police chief will feel free to attack again? And what does that tell other potential violent offenders when you can punch a police officer in the face and still be out on the street on “supervised release”?
Between releasing violent offenders on video without bail and defunding 1.5 billion dollars of the police budget, New York City is turning into a real-life Gotham — but without a Batman to protect it.
Even if Batman did show up, the Democrats in the city would probably make him out to be the bad guy for causing criminals to face consequences.

Trump-loathing Republican strategist Rick Wilson has proved to be a useful idiot .

Less than four months before the 2020 election , Wilson ’ s The Lincoln Project PAC , which was formed last year by Wilson and several former President George W.

Trump-loathing Republican strategist Rick Wilson has proved to be a useful idiot.
The NeverTrump stalwart is still angry about President Donald Trump’s 2016 election win.
Less than four months before the 2020 election, Wilson’s The Lincoln Project PAC, which was formed last year by Wilson and several former President George W. Bush administration operatives, has committed to ending the Trump era in the Republican Party, and to electing former Vice President Joe Biden and handing the entire government over to the Democrats.
The Lincoln Project is best known for its scathing TV ads targeting Trump.
But if Wilson thought his campaign of vitriol against Trump would endear him to the left, he learned a tough lesson while appearing this week on CBS All Access, a video streaming service.
Wilson joined CBS’ animated skit “Tooning Out the News” to discuss The Lincoln Project with cartoon anchors, where he was mercilessly mocked by a spoof show, an extension of the network’s “The Late Show.”
The animated skit, executive-produced by host Stephen Colbert, hilariously demolished Wilson.
Wilson was reminded by cartoon anchors that founding members of The Lincoln Project once were employed by the Bush administration, thus linking Wilson to the most recent Republican president, whom the establishment media decried as a racist authoritarian before Trump’s consolidation of the GOP eight years later.
“I’ve got to say, we really miss Bush. He always did what was right for the country, that country being Saudi Arabia,” one animated CBS anchor said jokingly to Wilson.

Wilson, though, at first brushed the jests aside and touted his PAC’s mission to end Trump, whom he called “the worst president in our history.”
Still, another cartoon news anchor hit the Trump critic hard.
The CBS All Access skit raised the issue of Trump’s supposed “failures,” which included “bad deficit increases, bad corruption, bad racism and bad countless deaths,” to those of the Bush administration.
The spoof show then compared those “failures” to Bush’s “accomplishments,” such as “good deficit increases, good corruption, good racism and good countless deaths.”
Wilson was not amused. He appeared to slowly realize that he had walked into a lion’s den.
After airing clips on Wilson joining MSNBC panels in recent years, the animated lineup asked Wilson, “Rick, how rewarding is it to win over the people you’ve demonized your entire career?”
“You know what, the person I’m interested in demonizing right now is Donald Trump, and the person that The Lincoln Project is focused on is Donald Trump,” Wilson said, his patience obviously waning.
“And the fact is that Americans from all walks of life have recognized that we need all hands on deck in this fight to save this country. And you know what? Allies come from all different stripes and all different walks of life, and I’m happy to accept the support and encouragement from folks across the spectrum,” he said.
Wilson’s attempt at being viewed as a peer among his liberal hosts took another negative turn when he was grilled about previous comments he had made against leftist activists online, and also about his PAC’s financing.
The skit, which essentially was a setup to enjoy laughter at Wilson’s expense, accurately summed up his activism in a way that left him visibly displeased.
“Stop this corrupt grifter ruining America,” the cartoon anchors said in a reference to the Lincoln Project’s mission to take down Trump.
“Donate to these savvy grifters,” the anchors said in spoof Lincoln Project ad created by CBS All Access, which stated that Bush and people such as Wilson “ruined it [the country] before and hope you don’t look into them.”
Wilson, for the most part, was reduced to sitting expressionless by the end of the spot.
He was thoroughly embarrassed, and it was brilliant and worth a watch.
Public humiliation has become a common theme for Wilson.
Last month, he was called out for apparent hypocrisy on the subject of Confederate imagery when social media sleuths found he once apparently owned a cooler that declared “The South Will Rise Again” and included a Confederate battle flag.

There have been plenty of examples recently of people using blatantly racist and racially divisive rhetoric while posing as opponents of racism , but the Smithsonian ’ s National Museum of African American History & Culture is promoting an attack on “ whiteness ” that goes ( pardon the expression ) beyond the pale .

You have to hand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They actually managed to bring together white people and black people , conservatives and liberals , in agreement that it ’ s astoundingly racist and insulting .

As critics across the political spectrum have pointed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ white ” things , that implies that black Americans must be lazy , irrational and dependent .
It implies they have no regard for family , property rights or Christian morals .

westernjournal--2020-07-17--State Dept. Confirms China Potentially Carrying Out Worst Genocide Since the Holocaust

Recent evidence out of China confirms that the communist nation is actively committing Holocaust-like atrocities against the country ’ s ethnic Uyghur population .
There are approximately 11 million Uyghurs living in China ’ s northwestern Xinjiang province , according to the BBC .
They are historically and culturally Muslim , although largely secular in practice today .
The region in which they live was formally incorporated into the Chinese empire in the late 19th century .
A Jamestown Foundation report released last month by Dr. Adrian Zenz , one of the world ’ s leading scholars on the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Uyghurs , highlighted the horrors being committed in the region by the CCP .
( The Jamestown Foundation is a Washington , D.C.-based institute for research and analysis which was founded in 1984 as a platform to support Soviet defectors . )
“ For the first time , the veracity and scale of these anecdotal accounts can be confirmed through a systematic analysis of government documents , ” the report reads .
TRENDING : Latest Violence in New York City : Mom Pushing Stroller Choked , Stabbed in Alarming Video “ The research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following : • “ Natural population growth in Xinjiang has declined dramatically ; growth rates fell by 84 percent in the two largest Uyghur prefectures between 2015 and 2018 , and declined further in 2019.
” • “ Government documents bluntly mandate that birth control violations are punishable by extrajudicial internment in ‘ training ’ camps .
This confirms evidence from the leaked ‘ Karakax List ’ document , wherein such violations were the most common reason for internment.
” • “ Documents from 2019 reveal plans for a campaign of mass female @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 34 percent of all married women of childbearing age in two Uyghur counties that year.
” • “ By 2019 , Xinjiang planned to subject at least 80 percent of women of childbearing age in the rural southern four minority prefectures to intrusive birth prevention surgeries ( IUDs or sterilizations ) , with actual shares likely being much higher.
” • “ Shares of women aged 18 to 49 who were either widowed or in menopause have more than doubled since the onset of the internment campaign in one particular Uyghur region @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unnatural deaths ( possibly of interned husbands ) , and/or of injections given in internment that can cause temporary or permanent loss of menstrual cycles.
” • “ Between 2015 and 2018 , about 860,000 ethnic Han residents left Xinjiang , while up to 2 million new residents were added to Xinjiang ’ s Han majority regions.
” This is forced sterilization and replacement of an ethnic population on a massive scale .
As a Foreign Policy headline stated Wednesday : “ The World ’ s Most Technologically Sophisticated Genocide Is Happening in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with other evidence indicating mass genocide of the Uyghur population .
Earlier this month , U.S. Customs and Border Protection in New York seized 13 tons of products suspected of being made out of human hair .
According to The Associated Press , the exporter who made the shipment hails from the Xinjiang region , “ where , over the past four years , the government has detained an estimated 1 million or more ethnic Turkic minorities.
” “ The production of these goods constitutes a very serious human rights violation , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a clear and direct message to all entities seeking to do business with the United States that illicit and inhumane practices will not be tolerated in U.S. supply chains , ” Brenda Smith , executive assistant commissioner of CBP ’ s Office of Trade , said in a statement .
China is committing genocide on a mass scale against an entire ethnic group .
“ The Genocide Convention , to which China is a signatory , defines genocide as specific acts against members of a group with the intent to destroy that group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acts include ( a ) killing ; ( b ) causing serious bodily or mental harm ; ( c ) deliberately inflicting conditions of life to bring about the group ’ s physical destruction ; ( d ) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group ; and ( e ) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group , ” Foreign Policy reported .
“ Any one of these categories constitutes genocide .

“ Over a million Turkic Uighurs are detained in concentration camps , prisons , and forced labor factories in China .
Detainees are subject to military-style discipline , thought transformation , and forced confessions .
They are abused , tortured , raped , and even killed .
Survivors report being subjected to electrocution , waterboarding , repeated beatings , stress positions , and injections of unknown substances.
” Adolf Hitler , the chancellor of Nazi Germany who was infamously responsible for the mass slaughter of six million Jews during his reign , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State Department , the Chinese government ’ s actions toward the Uyghurs could even represent “ the worst crime ” since the Nazis attempted to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the Earth .
“ This is one of the most disturbing stories in the world , ” State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said earlier this month .
“ I think when you look at what has happened to the Uyghur people , this is potentially the worst crime that we have seen since the Holocaust.
” The State Department has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies in or linked to Xinjiang .
“ It is critical that U.S. companies and individuals be aware of the large-scale human rights abuses perpetrated by the PRC government in Xinjiang , ” Keith Krach , the department ’ s under secretary for economic growth , energy and the environment , wrote in a July 1 letter to the business community .
“ Businesses should evaluate their exposure to the risks that result from partnering with , investing in , and otherwise providing support to companies that operate in or are linked to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Nazi-like targeting of the Uyghur people in China , American corporations and even sports teams continue to placate the evil Chine regime .
At one point , the NBA ’ s official store even banned customers from emblazoning the slogan “ FreeHongKong ” on custom T-shirts .

These findings are in line with other evidence indicating mass genocide of the Uyghur population.
Earlier this month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection in New York seized 13 tons of products suspected of being made out of human hair. According to The Associated Press, the exporter who made the shipment hails from the Xinjiang region, “where, over the past four years, the government has detained an estimated 1 million or more ethnic Turkic minorities.”

The State Department has warned U.S. businesses against doing business with companies in or linked to Xinjiang.
“It is critical that U.S. companies and individuals be aware of the large-scale human rights abuses perpetrated by the PRC government in Xinjiang,” Keith Krach, the department’s under secretary for economic growth, energy and the environment, wrote in a July 1 letter to the business community.
“Businesses should evaluate their exposure to the risks that result from partnering with, investing in, and otherwise providing support to companies that operate in or are linked to Xinjiang.”
Despite the ever growing evidence of Nazi-like targeting of the Uyghur people in China, American corporations and even sports teams continue to placate the evil Chine regime.
At one point, the NBA’s official store even banned customers from emblazoning the slogan “FreeHongKong” on custom T-shirts. However, they did allow messages like “KILLCOPS.”
The NBA’s store will let you design and purchase custom jerseys with user-created messages like “KILLCOPS” and “MURDERPOLICE” and “BURN JEWS.” But if you try to customize a jersey that says “FreeHongKong,” the NBA won’t let you. https://t.co/2HqpOu393S — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 13, 2020
The Democratic Party is in lock step with such corporate entities, who turn a blind eye to Chinese atrocities in the name of good business.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, for instance, has kowtowed to China continually over the course of his decades-long political career.
During a campaign rally in May 2019, Biden mocked President Donald Trump’s tough stance on China.
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man. They can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west,” Biden said.
“They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not, they’re not competition for us.”
The Democratic Party has long had a troubling relationship with China. Corrupt dealings go all the way back to the Chinagate scandal of the 1990s, when the Democratic National Committee allegedly received illegal foreign donations from China during the Clinton presidency.
China is controlled by one of the most dangerous regimes in the world today. The communist government is systematically annihilating an ethnic group while America’s powerful corporate interests and the Democratic Party’s choice for president carry water for the regime.
The Chinese Communist Party embodies the all-encompassing centralized state control that the left loves. The party’s founder, Mao Zedong, envisioned himself as a pseudo-intellectual revolutionary who would bring Karl Marx’s ideas to Utopian fruition.
In that sense, Mao’s ideological goals were very similar to those espoused by the Black Lives Matter and antifa activists terrorizing the streets of American cities today.
As Mao’s party once again proves, under communism, no lives matter.
