Gun Free Zone

Remember after 9/11, and the Fort Hood shooting, the airplane shoe bombing, and airplane underwear bombing, and the Madrid bombings, and the 7/7 London bombings, and the Little Rock and Chattanooga recruiting office shootings, and Boston Marathon bombing, and Nice truck attack, and San Bernardino shooting, and the Pulse Night Club shooting, and both London Bridge mass stabbings, the media wrung its hands and warned all of us about the impending backlash against Muslims in America.  That angry, racists Americans were going to start programs in Muslim communities and demand American Muslims be rounded up and interred like the Japanese during WWII*.

*While the media does acknowledge the horrors of Japanese internment, they never quite get around to making it stick that it was a Democrat president and his supreme court justices that did it and justified it.

None of these violent, anti-Muslim actions never seemed to materialize.  And the few reported incidents turned out to be hoaxes.

Well, the media needs a new potential source for racist attacks.  And covering Jews being beaten up in New York just inst the kind of racist attacks they can sell papers to Progressives with.

The Corona Virus has provided the media with just what they need to foment race hate.

Have you seen or experienced any racism, xenophobia, or other forms of discrimination connected to the coronavirus epidemic? https://t.co/pzwsbmKgI8

Apparently the Washington Post doesn’t realize it’s 2020 and not 1889.

The big concern seems to be that the Chinese government, which is notoriously non-transparent and untrustworthy, as all Communist dictatorships are, is not doing enough to help the rest of the world contain the virus.

The Washington Post wants to believe that means white Americans are going to start marching with signs about the “yellow peril” like they are coming here to build a railroad.

There seems to have been one racist incident relating to the virus, but it happened in New York City and not the Deep South, and the perpetrator belongs to the same demographic that has been attacking New York’s Jews.  So don’t expect to hear about it on the major news networks.

While the rest of the world worries about a potentially deadly pandemic that makes the Spanish Flu look like a runny nose, the media is looking for a way to make concerns over an outbreak into a way of making white people look racist.

Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib walked out of the SOTU early.

They decided to Tweet this upon their exit:

This is what America looks like ✌? pic.twitter.com/4NCDdxJsql

Anti-Semites who unabashedly spread the blood libel while constantly criticizing America and defending Islamic terrorists.

I really hope to God that is not what America looks like.

That was harsh.

Ribbit.

I know, I know, you are tired of me talking about it. But last night during the State Of The Union,  we had excellent examples of the use of optics. Trump had people like a rehabilitated convict to a 100 year old Tuskegee Airman to drive home the idea that he is doing more for minorities than anybody before.  Praised ICE and his agents with the presence of a Hispanic officer which kinda kills the ICE = KKK narrative. And there were more moments like this through the speech including the recognition to Rush Limbaugh that was Trump’s way to piss on the Democrat’s eye.

But even though people were talking about those moments, the top optic moment of the night did not come from Trump but from bonehead Nancy Pelosi:

She was pissed, no doubt. She spent the speech trying to control her reactions to the President and failing only to have her guest start screaming at the President during the speech like it was some county fair and she finishes by tearing he copy of the State of The Union in front of God and Country demonstrating an amazing level of pettiness.

Wether it was a pre-staged move or not, people immediately classified her actions as bitchy and disrespectful. The Narrative was set in Social media before she was able to get out of chambers and it will never be seen in any other way.

And that my friends, is bad optics, the kind that will destroy anything you’ll do in the future. She gave ammunition to her enemies and made the President’s voter base even more aroused in his defense.

She archived the opposite she was looking for.

This funny, I don’t care who you are.

Hat Tip Keving Creighton.

Dear Occasional Cortex starts with a tantrum.

I am guessing she won’t be the only one. The other three amigas may join in the absurd while waiting for the Iowa Caucus boondoggle result.

There must be roving patrols of ICE agents swooping down on neighborhood parks and trapping children with nets before throwing them in a cage.

MSNBC’s @ZerlinaMaxwell:

“The Iowa caucus is the perfect example of systemic racism. 91% of the voters in Iowa are white. The reason why you see a drop in turnout, I’m just speculating here, it could be perhaps that white children are not in the cages…”pic.twitter.com/OCg2Dg8e7y

This level of desperation, this level of disconnect with reality might be funny, but it is dangerous as hell. These people will end up torching houses because they truly believe inside live Klan members that are sending poor color folks to gas chambers rather than Mr. and Mrs. Smith who she has known all her life.
