Conrad Black on the nascent Biden Administration and the sycophantic media

Biden’s Rapidly Deflating Honeymoon Balloon

Biden and his media supporters will see the prohibition they have imposed on any questioning of the election result blow up in their faces.

“…Ater just two weeks, a few political realities are starting to encroach upon the Biden fairyland, whose nativity was heralded in Fox News’ Trump-hater Chris Wallace’s assertion that Biden’s inaugural address was the best in over 60 years.

After all the tear-jerking promises to emancipate Central American waifs from the “Auschwitz-like” cages, as they were called in Pelosi-speak (despite the fact that President Obama set them up), and the compassion-signaling to the open borders advocates, Biden punted. He reopened a “cage” claiming to emancipate the country from the “moral shame” of his predecessor. He is waiting for the reunification of children “ripped out of the arms” of migrant families, although he knows many of the children were brought in as public relations props by people to whom they are not related; in any case, they were abandoned.

It will be ahistorical if a substantial number of these youngsters are actually reclaimed by their migrant traveling companions, long since vanished in the anonymous vastness of America’s “sanctuary cities.” Construction of the southern border wall has been suspended amidst the constant crescendo of strictures against Trump evil (which reduced illegal entries by 90 percent), as teeming numbers of eager migrants assemble on the southern side of the wall, prepared to assert the apparent birthright of virtually every Latin American to enter the United States and remain here, with no commitment to assimilate to American society, or seek citizenship (now more of a nuisance than a reward to many)…

…The reply of Trump’s counsel to the impeachment charge on Tuesday was a withering dismissal of trying to remove from office someone who does not hold that office, a textual reminder that he did not incite violence, that the disgraceful action at the Capitol was not encouraged by him and was not an “insurrection,” and that he was only exercising his First Amendment right:

to express his belief that the election results were suspect, since with very few exceptions, under the convenient guise of COVID-19 pandemic ‘safeguards,’ state election laws and procedures were changed by local politicians or judges without the necessary approvals from state legislatures. Insufficient evidence exists upon which a reasonable jurist could conclude that the 45th president’s statements were accurate or not, and he therefore denies that they were false. Like all Americans, the 45th president is protected by the First Amendment . . . If the First Amendment protected only speech the government deemed popular in current American culture, it would be no protection at all.

In allowing the impeachment of Trump to proceed, Biden is placing front and center in the political arena the outright assertion that his election was illegitimate, which Biden’s supporters in Congress and the totalitarian media have tried to expunge and cancel…”

Transparency thwarted? Two weeks after Trump declassified Russia memos, most aren’t released

Remaining documents illuminate handling instructions for informants Steele and Halper, State Department’s role in false narrative.

“…More than two weeks after Donald Trump officially declassified the evidence, the vast majority of documents detailing FBI and Justice Department failures in the now-discredited Russia collusion investigation remain out of public view in a delay that has thwarted the former president’s goal of sweeping transparency.

Multiple officials tell Just the News that the documents yet to be released include:

    • less redacted versions of the flawed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants that allowed the FBI to target former Trump adviser Carter Page and the Trump campaign for a full year without producing any evidence of wrongdoing.
    • the confidential human source handling documents for informant Stefan Halper showing the specific requests the FBI gave to Halper to spy on Trump campaign officials and the cover story used to justify his contacts with Trump officials during the election.
    • the confidential human source handling documents for informant Christopher Steele, including what he told the FBI at his first meeting on July 5, 2016, when he first approached agents about the dossier.
    • a spreadsheet used to assess the many allegations Steele provided in his infamous dossier showing most were uncorroborated, debunked or traced to open-source Internet rumors or unreliable sources.
    • hundreds of digital messages exchanged on the FBI’s internal chat network among the most senior officials in the Crossfire Hurricane probe, including fired Director James Comey, fired Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, fired lead agent Peter Strzok, former bureau lawyer Lisa Page and others…”

Virtue-signaling as a fig-leaf for incompetence

Biden administration weighs plan to directly send masks to all Americans

In case you thought our education system could not get worse, San Francisco School Board says “hold my beer.”

Academic high school is too elite (and Asian) for SF

“…After  — including Abraham Lincoln High — for historical imperfections, San Francisco school board is fast-tracking a plan to end merit-based admissions for Lowell High School, one of the top high schools in California, reports David Li for NBC News.

The board is on track to approve a resolution to admit students to Lowell (which will be renamed) by lottery, rather than grades and test scores. Selectivity “perpetuates the culture of white supremacy and racial abuse towards Black and Latinx students,” states the resolution.

The real issue is Chinese supremacy. Of Lowell’s 2,871 students, 50.6 percent are Asian, mostly Chinese, in a district that’s 33.4 percent Asian, reports Li. Whites are slightly over-represented (18.1 percent at Lowell, 14.9 percent districtwide), while Hispanics (11.5 percent vs. 28.2 percent) and Blacks (1.8 percent vs. 6.4 percent) are under-represented. (Looking at 2018-19 data, I get 63 percent Asian/Filipino with 4 percent multi-racial and some decline-to-state students.)

“Exam schools” for high achievers are controversial everywhere: They always have “too many” Asians and Whites, too few Blacks and Hispanics. An elite Virginia school may switch to a lottery for academically qualified students, reports Education Week.  But the San Francisco plan doesn’t limit the lottery to A or B or even C students. The renamed Lowell will be just another high school…”

 

I’m so old I can remember a few months ago when Trump was an absolute monster for doing the same thing

Where are the brave “journalists” risking life and limb to report on this? Where is the 24/7 outrage on cable, and in print?

Biden Administration State Department Spokesperson is a radical BLM activist who hates the police. Media pretend not to notice.

Biden State Dept. Spox Calls Cops ‘Blue Klux Klan,’ and Largest Threat to U.S. National Security’

“Porter’s comments were made on Sept. 20, 2016, and appear to be in reference to video footage released that day of an unarmed black man being shot by police officers in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot,” she wrote in the post. “An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please.”

“…The shooting victim, Terence Crutcher, was under the influence of PCP and TCP at the time of the incident according to an autopsy.

A jury found the shooting officer to be not guilty in May of 2017, stating in the verdict: “it is clear to the Jury after intensely studying the video, still photos, and testimony that the windows to the SUV driven by Terrance Crutcher that evening were open and that the Jury believes from said evidence that Terrance Crutcher did in fact reach into the window disobeying the instructions of the police officers on location.”

The jury added that “any officer put in that situation at that exact moment and regardless of the skin color, gender or size of the suspect, would have performed the same way, which is in accordance with their law enforcement training.”

In another September 2016 post, Porter referred to police officers as the “Blue Klux Klan.”

Porter also participated in the media hit against Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann, calling the then-16-year old a “terrorist” in January of 2019.

“Tom Brady with the same MAGA smirk as that young terrorist who mocked the Native protester,” Porter tweeted.

Sandmann has sued multiple news outlets over their sloppy and one-sided coverage of his January 2019 encounter with an elderly Native American activist in Washington DC.

The teen and his classmates had been in D.C. for the March For Life and were waiting for their bus to take them home to Kentucky when they were accosted by a black separatist fringe group known for making outrageous, racist, anti-gay statements, and Phillips who loudly banged his drum inches away from Sandmann’s face.

Sandmann, trying to diffuse the situation, stoically faced the Phillips with a smile on his face.

But because he and a few other students were wearing Make America Great hats they picked up in a D.C. gift shop, the agenda-driven Democrat media complex put the worst possible spin  on the minor event.

Thanks to their vicious smears, Sandmann, his classmates,  and their families became the subjects of threats and harassment from a hateful online outrage mob.

The deputy spokesperson for Biden’s Sec. of State was one of those people.

Porter is a former staffer of Rep. Cedric Richmond, (D-LA), who is now a White House senior adviser.

According to One America News Network correspondent Jack Posobiec, Politico was tipped this story, but turned it down.

Politico, meanwhile, has written over ten stories on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Georgia), a freshman backbencher who has shared controversial opinions and conspiracy theories on social media…”

Another professor punished for nonconformity to preferred racial narrative

Punished for his scholarship, University of North Texas music professor files federal lawsuit

“…When University of North Texas music professor Timothy Jackson published an essay critical of a fellow music scholar’s speech on “music theory’s white racial frame,” UNT graduate students and faculty demanded that Jackson face punishment for expressing those views, which they deemed “racist and unacceptable.” Jackson has now filed a federal lawsuit against the university, a graduate student, and several faculty members.

In August, UNT launched an investigation of Jackson, announcing its intention to “reaffirm our dedication to combatting [sic] racism on campus and across all academic disciplines.” Jackson was subsequently removed from the academic journal he founded.

Last week, Jackson filed a lawsuit against UNT for First Amendment retaliation, arguing that the investigation into his journal, and his department chair’s decision to block Jackson from future involvement with the journal, were all done in retaliation for Jackson’s expression of views out-of-step with the prevailing campus orthodoxy…”

The left has captured our education system and destroyed it. It has become a racial cult that persecutes non-believers. Every American should reject this conformist nonsense.
