Is Biden admitting that he’s f**ked?

From the NY Post:

DNI John Ratcliffe says info on Hunter Biden laptop isn’t Russian disinformation

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday said the information contained on Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed by The Post last week “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”

“Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” Ratcliffe said.

“Let me be clear: The intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress,” he said.

That was Sunday, this is today:

So Biden is going to hide from this blowout that the DNI essentially confirmed that the Hunter emails and crack pipe video are real?

Just how fucked do you have to be to be accused of the biggest corruption scandal since and including Teapot Dome and to believe the best approach is hide for three days?

I had an epiphany about Trump, this election is my family

Oct 19, 2020 J. Kb 5 comments

I had an epiphany this morning about Trump. I wish I had it back in January or February because I would have gone to work for his campaign for the rest of the year.

Trump is my dad and Middle America is my wife.

My dad was a New York asshole.  A lawyer born and raised on Long Island.

He was pushy, belligerent, and entitled. That comes from living in a city which truly believes it is the greatest city in the history of human civilization, and having to fight every other resident of that city for every inch of space.

My wife is from rural, central Indiana. She is a green bean casserole.  Warm, wholesome, family oriented, unassuming.

It took a long time for my wife to warm up to my dad.  He made her cry more than once, and not on purpose.  He intimidated her for a long time.

After ten years of knowing him she learned to love him and that he was a good person on the inside.

Trump is a New York asshole. He is THE New York asshole that’s has made a career of being a New York asshole on TV for a generation.  Trump has been a brand my entire life.

His actual accomplishments are great.  He got us out of the Obama economic doldrums. He brought more peace to the Middle East than anyone could imagine. He revitalized American manufacturing.

But to the Midwesterner, he’s a New York asshole.

They have to get over that and focus on his accomplishments to vote for him.

It never mattered how my times my dad pulled put his wallet and paid for dinner, the only thing my mother-in-law remembered was the asshole thing he said at dinner.

I wish I realized this eight months ago because the one thing I can do is get green bean casserole Middle Americans to love a New York asshole, because I was raised by the latter and married the former.

I wouldn’t change his policies, just work on his demeanor.  If I could do that, the entire Rust Belt and Midwest would be his in the bag.

The Left burns churches in Chile, the Vatican is silent.

Oct 19, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 9 comments

This was Santiago de Chile yesterday.

One of the churches was over 150 years old.

While most of the Hispanic world is condemning the actions, one interested party remains silent at this hour: Pope Francis (The Red.)

And nothing from the official Vatican News outlet:

 

Although we are obviously focused in our internal Lefties, specially coming to an election, this idiocy in Chile and other places shows we are having a coordinated attack across the world.  It is not new, we have seen it as far back as the Anarchists attacks starting at the end of the 19th Century.

I cannot properly express my disgust at the burning of churches.  The Reds enjoy fucking with Christian  houses of prayer since the fat bearded asshole Marx came out with the opium of the masses crap.  There are few places in the 21st Century where one can walk in and find a bit of peace and solace, only to have a few pampered assholes with illusions of “Komissariat” destroy them because it is politically cool.

It is Chile, please substitute helicopters for pallet drops out of C-130s at 5,000 feet.

Update: Now I am really pissed.

Demonstrators loot churches in Chile and burn statues of Jesus in the streets as month-long protest over inequality turns violent

Miami Herald: Prepping for the downfall?

Oct 19, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 7 comments

This is a recurring theme lately in the Herald. Even though the announced polls say Biden is doing double digit advantages everywhere,  there is not an air of confidence floating around about Florida.

It could simply be a disinformation campaign to lure Republican voters to stay home and not bother to vote and I am going to go with this one just to remind readers in whichever state you live in to truly go and vote. It does not matter if your county is 99.9% Red, you go vote and help secure the whole state.

I stopped being shocked a while ago – this one is for Ivan

Oct 19, 2020 J. Kb 5 comments

On an earlier post about Cuomo’s continued targeting of the Jews of NYC, frequent reader Ivan left this comment:

Yeah. So, tell me how I can get my a-hole neighbor, who is the religious chair of our synagogue, to recognize the firm connection between the Biden sign on his front lawn, and some variation of boxcars headed east? Or, perhaps, to get him to recognize that leftism and Judaism are mutually incompatible, so he needs to choose one or the other as his religion. In my reading of history, I’ve been unable to find a leftist takeover that worked out well for Jews….

I recommend this article from Tablet.

Stop Being Shocked
American liberalism is in danger from a new ideology—one with dangerous implications for Jews

It is by Bari Weiss

The most recent major outrage in the Jewish community, now several news cycles behind us, came on the Shabbat before Yom Kippur—the holiest day in the Jewish calendar—when many American Jews seemed dumbfounded by what was to me predictable news: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, progressive superstar, had pulled out of an event honoring Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli prime minister assassinated because of his efforts to make peace with the Palestinians. Rabin was, as Bill Clinton said at his funeral, “a martyr for his nation’s peace.”

Many Jews were shocked. If Rabin, the symbol of progressive Zionism, is out of bounds, are any Israelis acceptable? What about the 95% of Jews who support the Jewish state? Why would the congresswoman from the Bronx—representing the political party to which upward of 70% of American Jews have been consistently loyal—possibly do such a thing?

The answer, for anyone paying any attention, is the Democrats have gone full Soviet Anti-Semite as they swung hard, hard Left.  It is no coincidence that Congresswoman AOC, the Left’s charismatic She Guevara, palls around with two of the most egregious Jew-haters in Congress.

Did you see that the Ethical Culture Fieldston School hosted a speaker that equated Israelis with Nazis? Did you know that Brearley is now asking families to write a statement demonstrating their commitment to “anti-racism”? Did you see that Chelsea Handler tweeted a clip of Louis Farrakhan? Did you see that protesters tagged a synagogue in Kenosha with “Free Palestine” graffiti? Did you hear about the march in D.C. where they chanted “Israel, we know you, you murder children too”? Did you hear that the Biden campaign apologized to Linda Sarsour after initially disavowing her? Did you see that Twitter suspended Bret Weinstein’s civic organization but still allows the Iranian ayatollah to openly promote genocide of the Jewish people? Did you see that Mayor Bill de Blasio scapegoated “the Jewish community” for the spread of COVID in New York, while defending mass protests on the grounds that this is a “historic moment of change”?

I did, and my readers did, because I have been posting about almost all of these incidents and more that were not covered in her list.

The thing is, Democrat Jews if they acknowledge these events, treat them as on-offs and not part of a trend.

Democrats are very good at that.  Joe Biden has lots of gaffs in which he says something racist, but somehow those gaffs never get strung together into a trend that concludes Biden is a racist.  Joe Biden seems to always be adjacent to scandals and corruption, but somehow that never gets strung together into a trend that concludes Biden is a corrupt piece of shit.  Double that for the Clintons.

Democrats have incident after incident that is or heavily implies anti-Semitism, but somehow they never get strung together into a trend that concludes the Democrats are the party of anti-Semitism.

That is the thesis of this article by Weiss.

There is also the X factor of Donald Trump, which is impossible to overstate. Understandable hostility toward him has prevented many Jews from seeing the problem on the other side. To even look away from the obscenity in the White House for a moment strikes many, as they have told me, as irresponsible or beside the point.

I share with the majority of American Jews’ disgust toward Trump and Trumpism, which has normalized bigotry and cruelty in ways that have crippled American society. That truth doesn’t detract from another: There is another danger, this one from the left. And unlike Trump, this one has attained cultural dominance, capturing America’s elites and our most powerful institutions. In the event of a Biden victory, it is hard to imagine it meeting resistance. So let me make my purpose perfectly clear: I am here to ring the alarm. I’m here to say: Do not be shocked anymore. Stop saying, can you believe. It’s time to accept reality, if we want to have any hope of fixing it.

Weiss is still on the Left so of-course she is going to dig at Trump.  But what she is saying here is for the most part correct (ignore the part about normalized bigotry), Americans Jews have become so inflicted with TDS that they can’t see the anti-Semitic forest for the Democrat trees.

No one has yet decided on the name for the force that has come to unseat liberalism. Some say it’s “Social Justice.” The author Rod Dreher has called it “therapeutic totalitarianism.” The writer Wesley Yang refers to it as “the successor ideology”—as in, the successor to liberalism.

At some point, it will have a formal name, one that properly describes its mixture of postmodernism, postcolonialism, identity politics, neo-Marxism, critical race theory, intersectionality, and the therapeutic mentality.

The new creed’s premise goes something like this: We are in a war in which the forces of justice and progress are arrayed against the forces of backwardness and oppression. And in a war, the normal rules of the game—due process; political compromise; the presumption of innocence; free speech; even reason itself—must be suspended. Indeed, those rules themselves were corrupt to begin with—designed, as they were, by dead white males in order to uphold their own power.

And so the things about us that make us different must be demonized, so that they can be erased or destroyed: Zionism is refashioned as colonialism; government officials justify the murder of innocent Jews in Jersey City; Jewish businesses can be looted because Jews “are the face of capital.” Jews are flattened into “white people,” our living history obliterated, so that someone with a straight face can suggest that the Holocaust was merely “white on white crime.”

It is why California attempted to pass an ethnic studies curriculum whose only mention of Jews was to explain how they, along with Irish immigrants, were invited into whiteness.

The Jews, despite our history, have been relegated to the role of oppressor, because in this new mindset, history started yesterday and 1619 at the same time.  So the Jews were always rich and powerful, never an oppressed minority.  Jews are landlords, even when they are not, and landlords must be abolished.  Jews are not white, and too white all at the same time.

The whole article is worth a read.

American Jews need to wake up to this reality.

Maybe it coming from a Lefty Jew who doesn’t have a nice thing to say about Trump will help.

Otherwise, I’m not sure what event will get American Jews to walk away from the Left and embrace actual Judaism again.

I’m absolutely convinced that most American Jews would march into a death camp to the cadence of “Orange Man Bad” with the words above the gate saying “Black Lives Matter” with an upside-down B.
