Here’s Ben Stein in 1979 describing television as an engine of cultural demoralization. He argues that a small clique of producers and writers pushed a left-coded inversion of reality onto the public. They despised traditional power centers and hated figures like Buckley. They propagandized the nation into accepting a fake world where businessmen are villains, criminals are the good-guys, small towns are sinister, military officers are proto-fascists, and work barely exists.
Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost@Ne_pas_couvrir
In the 1970s Ben Stein interviewed major TV producers/writers to ask why their portrayal of US culture was so distorted. Businessmen were evil. Real life crime was always depicted inaccurately, favoring instead the Marxist narratives on race, class, and culture of the new left.

NEW: Gavin Newsom’s wife suggests Pam Bondi was fired because she is a woman, says Trump is declaring “war on all women.”
“[Trump’s agenda] is pushing us back into this straitjacket of femininity that is only in service of men,” she said.
This woman might single-handedly destroy any chance Newsom has at becoming president.

@SarahisCensored Sickening. There’s obviously different standards of justice operating in our country right now. Imagine the media and public outrage if the individuals here were reversed.

Exactly one year ago today, Austin Metcalf was murdered in broad daylight.
The man responsible is now sitting at home on house arrest - enjoying freedom and time with his family.
He admitted to the act, saying: “I’m not alleged. I did it.”
He spent just 12 days in jail.
His bond was reduced.
Over half a million dollars was raised.
He was allowed to graduate.
And he is allegedly now attending college.
And somehow, this is what justice looks like?
This is a complete dishonor to the real victim - Austin Metcalf.
As Charlie Kirk said:
“Imagine believing that murderers deserve condolences, not their victims. The divide in America is between anyone with a grip on reality, and the clinically insane.” Those who support the killer are exactly that: clinically insane.
Austin deserved better. And we are not going to let his name be forgotten.
We will be watching.
We will be speaking.
And we will demand justice at trial.
Today, we remember Austin Metcalf.
We pray for his grieving family.
Do not give attention to the killer.
Do not amplify his name.
Say Austin’s name.
A life taken too soon - by a culture that believes accountability will never come.
We’re going to change that.
FOR AUSTIN.
RIP AUSTIN METCALF

@BillAckman It’s possible due to the fact there’s two different standards of justice in this country right now. One for Blacks and one for everyone else.

This guy got famous for telling a blatant lie in October 1980 about a supposedly secret compact between Reagan and Iran and here he is again, at the age of 284, bullshitting, when he should have been run out of town on a rail for his outrageous slander 45 years ago.

“With everything we do, we are undercutting the laws of war,” says former NSC official Gary Sick. At 91, he reflects, “I would never have believed that we would find ourselves in the position that we’re in, as the rogue nation in the world.”

“Israel moved the red line & forced the war.”
Israel didn’t move anything. President Trump made the call. You continue to treat President Trump as a dupe - it’s both insulting and ignorant.
“POTUS’s original red line was no nuclear weapon for Iran. The Supreme Leader agreed & held a prohibition on a nuclear weapon since 2004. The disagreement & debate was on enrichment levels & monitoring.”
That fatwa was bullshit - taqiyya. Israel stole Iran’s nuclear archive that proved Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons.
Also - if they were only interested in civilian enrichment, why the facilities hundreds of meters underground? Why did they claim to have 400kg of 60% enriched uranium?
“The Israelis convinced POTUS that zero enrichment was the red line, the Iranians disagreed, we took out their enrichment capability w/ Op Midnight Hammer, making enrichment a dead issue.”
It was only dead if Iran agreed to give it up. Instead they decided to rearm and then claim an “inalienable right to enrich.” Again - are you calling Witkoff a liar or not? Speak clearly! His account of negotiations is incompatible with yours - and he was the lead negotiator!
“Iran was back at the negotiating table afterwards, this was a major threat to Israel’s goal of regime change, so they forced our hand & attacked Iran, knowing Iran would then attack us, plunging us into the war.”
Again, this is fan-fiction that treats President Trump as a dupe.

@joekent16jan19 Bullshit, Joe. Steve Witkoff - the lead American negotiator - made clear the Iranians were intransigent and unwilling to make concessions. Are you calling him a liar?

A TWIB classic. Yamamori of the Hankyu Braves with one of the greatest catches you’ll ever see. The year is 1981. How about that.

@OptimalColdBrew @asymmetricinfo Imagine the NYTimes writing the following obit: “Adam Schiff, the congressman who misled the country on Trump -Russia collusion.”
English
@asymmetricinfo They just can’t resist a headline trying to make Republicans look bad. It’s funny how the mistakes all go in one direction. In decades of watching political news coverage, I can’t ever recall a “mistake” that worked against whatever narrative Democrats needed at the time.
English
A thing I will never convince non-journalists of--but that every journalist knows in their bones--is that it's harder to spot mistakes like this than you think. We get most of them. But even with multiple layers of protection, some are gonna slip through.

I’m not defending Tiger Woods, his accident was clearly his fault & he deserves to be held accountable, but based on this version of the body cam footage of his arrest, it sure seems like a non celebrity might’ve not been charged with a DUI. He seems not as out of it as expected.

@Zigmanfreud When you roll your rig in a super high-end residential neighborhood and you appear the slightest bit impaired you’re gonna leave in a cop car.

Just despicable. How a society treats its vulnerable very old and very young tells you everything about its morality.

The Home Care Service in Sweden hired a Syrian gangster to take care of the elderly. It ended with him recording himself abusing and torturing them while shouting “Allahu Akbar” @samhallsnytt reports that 22-year-old Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh from Syrianis being prosecuted for abusing, assaulting and mistreating 15 elderly people. The man, who arrived in Sweden as a refugee in 2015, was a member of a criminal gang and had previously been sentenced for robbing and tormenting several Swedish youths while armed with a gun. The investigation into the home care abuses has in total involved 15 complainants, with the oldest being a 99-year-old woman. In one video, his victim is a 92-year-old Swedish woman. “You look like a monkey!” he says to the woman while pointing at her. Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh then swings his open hand toward the woman’s face without hitting her. Instead, he grabs her nose and yanks it while making a honking sound. He continues to insult the elderly woman in Arabic: “You whore! I swear I’m going to curse you! he says,” and adds: “Eat shit you whore!” In other video clips, an 81-year-old man is subjected to abuse and torture. First, the Syrian home care worker repeatedly calls his victim “son of a whore.” Then the 81-year-old is tormented in the shower as the 22-year-old Syrian pours ice-cold water on him. “I swear by Allah that I will make you freeze,” Al Khleef Almasalmeh is heard screaming in Arabic. The mobile phone videos were found on a mobile phone in connection with another criminal investigation. At the end of November last year, while the police investigation against Al Khleef Almasalmeh was ongoing, he was suspended from work with full pay. But the day after the New Year holiday, on January 2nd this year, he was allowed to return to his job in home care. “Since we don’t know more about the investigation, we cannot suspend him for more than one month, says the home care unit manager Maid Prnjavorac in a police interview. The 22-year-old Syrian therefore remained at his workplace until he was arrested by the police on the morning of January 19th. Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh came to Sweden from Syria together with his parents and 5 siblings during the 2015 European Migration crisis 2015. He was made a Swedish citizen 3 years later and therefore can’t be deported for his crimes now. Despite Al Khleef Almasalmeh having been sentenced for 2 cases of assault and 5 cases of unlawful threats from his past as a gangster, he was hired in March last year by the home care service in Örebro. The person who hired Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh was the home care unit manager Maid Prnjavorac. Prnjavorac does not want to answer @samhallsnytt’s questions when they call him. Instead, he refers to his boss Sahra Strandberg, who serves as the acting operations manager. In case anyone wonders how it is growing old in Sweden after paying 40% of your salary in tax for decades, this case explain a lot.
