Dennis Prager Uses Bret Stephens To Explain TDS – and more

Via QOSHE / NYTs: Kamala Harris Has an Unexpected Ally

The Conversation

By Gail Collins and Bret Stephens

Bret Stephens: Please don’t tell me you’re going to ask how I’m going to vote.

Gail Collins: Well, Bret, why would you imagine such a thing? Just because I keep getting stopped by people on the street, demanding to know whether you’re going to support Kamala Harris. I am not making this up.

Come on. Give us a hint.

Bret: You really want to know?

Gail: Um, yeah.

Bret: Kicking and screaming, I’ll cast my ballot for Harris.

I really would rather have just sat out Election Day. But Jan. 6 and election denialism are unforgivable. And as my friend Richard North Patterson likes to say, “Donald Trump is literally bleeping crazy.” And what crazy brings in its wake is JD Vance, whom I find worse than Trump, because he’s just as cynical but twice as bright. And what it also brings in its wake is Tucker Carlson and the Hitler defenders he likes to platform.

Gail: OK, gonna take a little time to run up to the roof and toot a horn. Be right back.

Bret: Well

Gail: Hear that, don’t-like-anyone people? Really, if Bret can bring himself to vote for Kamala, you can.

Bret: It’s a 99.999 percent vote against Trump and a 0.001 percent vote for Harris.

Gail: And to bolster the argument, how about a short list of the things that bother you most about your new choice for president of the United States?

Bret: If the G.O.P. had nominated Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis or Doug Burgum, I’d be voting Republican. Probably even Tim Scott: That’s how reluctant I was to vote for her.

I fear that Harris is every bit as vacuous behind the scenes as she seems to be on the public stage. I fear she will be tested early by a foreign adversary and stumble badly, whether it’s in stopping Iran from building a nuclear weapon or China from blockading Taiwan or Russia from seizing a portion of a Baltic country. I fear she will capitulate too easily to her party’s left flank, especially when it comes to identity politics, economic policy or polarizing cultural issues. I fear she’ll have no domestic policy ideas that don’t involve mindlessly expanding the role of government. I fear she’ll surround herself with mediocre advisers, like her embarrassingly bad veep pick. I fear she won’t muster the political will to curb mass migration. And I fear that a failed Harris presidency will do more to turbocharge the far-right in this country than to diminish it.

Gail: That does cover a lot

Bret: But I won’t fear that she’ll refuse to recognize the result of the……..

Prager’s Description: Dennis defines “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and explains why “Never Trumpers” have a narcissistic attitude that could ruin our country.

Before reading the meat of the convo, keep in mind that the only people really talking about violence if Trump is elected and not authorizing the election are Democrats. A couple examples. Long time Clinton and Democrat ally, James Carville, called for armed revolution if Harris loses:

“People say, ‘What’s at stake in this election?’

“I say the Constitution is at stake,” Carville went on.

“We live under a set of laws, it’s literally at risk and he is telling you that.”

Carville then upped the fearmongering ante.

He blasted journalists and commentators who are discussing polling data showing black and Hispanic men’s wavering support for Harris.

He then claimed this is petty compared to Trump’s alleged authoritarian agenda.

“People want to know about [Harris’ polling] weakness among males of color,” Carville said.

“Okay? He’s gonna arrest all of ya,” he claimed.

[….]

He argued that journalists and even a retired Democratic Party strategist like himself would be rounded up during Trump’s possible future presidency.

“When the paddy wagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it, bouncing around, and it’s not going to be very much fun, and they will tell you, the judge said, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. Carville, Trump said he was going to get rid of the Constitution, I have no choice but to enforce the democratic norms of this country.’”

[….]

“When the Republic was threatened, people picked up arms and answered the call,” Carville said.

“Or, you know, in 1965 in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, I think people decided they were gonna take matters into their own hands and create a better country and that’s what I hope we do here in the next few weeks,” he finished….

Another call to not qualify Trump comes from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who said that Democrats would not certify Trump because he would be a crises for the consitution — adapted.

(More at LEGAL INSURRECTION)

THE ATLANTIC as well notes the following after talking to multiple Democrats:

Murray and other legal scholars say that, absent clear guidance from the Supreme Court, a Trump win could lead to a constitutional crisis in Congress. Democrats would have to choose between confirming a winner many of them believe is ineligible and defying the will of voters who elected him. Their choice could be decisive: As their victory in a House special election in New York last week demonstrated, Democrats have a serious chance of winning a majority in Congress in November, even if Trump recaptures the presidency on the same day. If that happens, they could have the votes to prevent him from taking office.

In interviews, senior House Democrats would not commit to certifying a Trump win, saying they would do so only if the Supreme Court affirms his eligibility.

Democrats Call For Violence

Target Gets Bomb Threats (Left Wing Lunacy and AP Lies)

CAUTION, SALTY CRACKER AHEAD: Left Wing Terrorists Threaten Target With Bombs Over Pride Displays

BREITBART has this excellent story, I will highlight my favorite part:

The far-left Associated Press (AP) spread conspiracy theories about Target customers behaving violently, and after it was called out for spreading this misinformation, the disgraced outlet secretly deleted its lies without noting an update or correction.

“The Associated Press has removed uncredited claims, without telling readers,” reports Just the News, “that Target yanked or relocated LGBTQ merchandise featured prominently in Pride Month displays in response to ‘threats to workers’ and ‘violent confrontations’ between customers and employees.”

As many are aware, Target has joined companies like Disney in the grooming of small children by prematurely exposing them to adult sexuality, homosexuality, transvestites, transsexuals, and drag queens.

Any individual or corporation that launches a campaign to prematurely sexualize children is guilty of child abuse, is a threat to children, and is undoubtedly grooming them for abuse.

June is now Pride Month in America, an unconscionably stupid and disgusting celebration of what two percent of the population do with their sex organs. As if that is not bad enough, corporations like Disney and Target use Pride Month as an excuse to groom children.

Target is so dedicated to this degeneracy; it partnered with a Satanist.

Obviously, decent and normal people believe it is wrong to have sex with children and are upset over Target’s (literal) satanic grooming. This has resulted in well-deserved backlash.

But.

Because the AP is firmly on the side of groomers, it spreads lies that would make the literal Satanists at Target look like the victims here. Here is the AP’s published conspiracy theory:

“Target removes some LGBTQ merchandise from stores ahead of June Pride month after threats to workers,” reads the fake headline. The story opens with these lies:

Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.

The following day, the liars at the AP changed the story. Naturally, the story is still filled with unsupported allegations, but the AP’s conspiracy theories about threats and violence have been removed. But because the AP is a fake news outlet, no editor’s note explains the correction. The far-left hoaxsters are choosing to pretend it never happened.

The new headline reads, “Target becomes latest company to suffer backlash for LGBTQ+ support, pulls some Pride month clothing”.

Here is how the opening paragraph is stealthily rewritten:

Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement Tuesday. ”Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”

“As AP continued to report out the story, we were able to provide more specific examples of the incidents that took place and we updated the story accordingly,” Vice President of Corporate Communications Lauren Easton told Just the News.

However, when asked why no editor’s note explained the correction, the AP refused to respond to two Just the News inquiries.

Here is how the disgraced AP describes one piece of that icky Pride Month merchandise:

“tuck friendly” women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts.

Here is the English translation: this apparel is designed for male transvestites who like to parade around as women and tuck their johnson between their legs like Buffalo Bill.

In other words, in front of the whole world, including children, Target sells and displays fetish merchandise…..

PJ-MEDIA has this:

  • Democrats continue to overplay their hand. It shouldn’t be this easy for us to notice a psychological operation. But perhaps they’ve just been doing it for so long that the formula is predictable. One thing is sure, and that is that regular Americans have grown sick and tired of a radical queer culture being forced down our throats and the throats of our children.

MOONBATTERY has this:

  • The government, the media, and the rest of our liberal ruling class might actually serve as a reliable source of information. We just need to apply a magic decoder ring by assuming that whatever we are told is the precise opposite of the truth.

When Leftist Carpet Hair Professors Attack (Machete Edition)

I think this is the end result — as it is in any leftist governing structure since before Marx — which is the free press and thought at the end of a guillotine (machete, gun, whatever). The first video is the original confrontation of this radical Leftist professor and some pro-life students — the second is the NEW YORK POST knocking on her door and getting a machete put to their reporters throat:

HOT AIR posts on the violence of this leftist totalitarian brainwashing kids:

There’s been an update to the story David covered about Shellyne Rodriguez, the  pro-abortion art professor who recently appeared to lose her mind. First, she was filmed screaming at a pro-life student and knocking over his display table, and telling him to kill himself. Then, when a New York Post reporter knocked on her apartment door to interview her, she came out and put a machete to his throat, and chased him down the street wielding the sharp blade. By this point, you might be wondering precisely what it takes to get fired at Hunter College. As it turns out, the machete did the trick. The school parted ways with her yesterday, saying she would “not be returning to teach” at their college. On top of that, we’ve now learned that Rodriguez has a lengthy history with the NYPD, so the plot continues to thicken.

Shellyne Rodriguez was sacked by Hunter College just hours after the adjunct professor was caught on camera holding the blade to the veteran reporter’s neck while threatening to “chop” him up outside her Bronx apartment.

“Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellyne Rodriguez and has taken immediate action,” school spokesman Vince Dimiceli told The Post.

“Rodriguez has been relieved of her duties at Hunter College effective immediately, and will not be returning to teach at the school.”

This could be seen as good news for Hunter College, but there still seems to be something missing from this story. There is very clear video out there of her holding a machete to a reporter’s neck and chasing him down the street while menacing him. How is it that we’re not seeing an arrest in this case? Is that just considered to be legal behavior in Gotham these days? Perhaps. It’s honestly getting hard to tell anymore.

As for the “prior history” I mentioned above, it turns out that Rodriguez is in the middle of a lawsuit against the NYPD dating back to 2020. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that she took part in the George Floyd protest during the Summer of Love. She managed to get herself arrested during one of the riots and she claims that she was a victim of police abuse during and after the arrest.

Like me, you might be surprised to hear that anyone got arrested in New York during those riots, but it apparently did happen on rare occasions. Rodriguez claims that she was zip-tied and tossed into a van. She also accuses the police of “punching her in the stomach” during the arrest, though amazingly, no video of that seems to have surfaced despite the riots being filmed almost constantly from multiple angles. Her lawsuit claims that the zip ties left her with “severe nerve damage.”

Based on Rodriguez’s performances this week, how do you suppose she acted during the BLM riots? Was she one of those “peaceful protesters” that CNN so loves to talk about? Or might she have started getting physical with either some counterprotesters or the cops? …..

This December 2004 comment from Amazon is a great intro to the video:

  • The vicious 2004 Presidential election is evidence of how deeply divided our nation is. The divide goes far deeper than Democrat/Republican or Liberal/Conservative. The divide goes deep into the hearts of all Americans. For over a generation now, our schools have taught that right and wrong is determined by each individual, that you should not let anyone tell you what is right or wrong for you. This has had a disastrous impact on our national soul. Because of this we have people like Michael Moore making films with no concern for truth or accuracy. In Mr. Moore’s eyes, the truth is not important. He truly hates America and he hates George Bush because Pres. Bush has the audacity to love our nation and to believe that all people on Earth should have a chance to be free. Celsius 411 and FahrenHYPE 9/11 were made as an answer to Mr. Moore, and to put forth the real story, if anyone really cares to seek out the truth. In the Bible, when life was good for God’s chosen people, they valued their possessions more than God and turned away from Him. The Bible says then “every man did what was right in his own eyes”. Which is to say they determined their own morality instead of following God’s law. This resulted in God’s punishment and great sorrow, which would then bring them back to the Lord, which then led to His blessings and then the cycle started again. Half of Americans still believe and look to God for guidance. In the other half, every man is doing what is right in his own eyes. This my fellow citizens is the root of our divide. As the numbers in the first group dwindle, the fabric of our society is further torn. How long until

Larry Elder and John Lott Discuss Violence Against Pro-Lifers

Attacks on Conservatives…They Won’t Let You Talk About This

See more at CRIME RESEARCH CENTER:

….we identified 135 attacks on pro-life entities and people between when the leak occurred and September 24th, 2022. By contrast, only six cases involve pro-choice people attacked. We obtained the cases from news searches and various sources, but the pro-abortion organizations refused to respond to repeated requests for additional cases despite efforts over three weeks. 

The bottom line is that after the Dobbs decision was leaked, there was over 22 times more violence directed against pro-life groups than pro-choice organizations. However, if the media is less likely to cover violence pro-life organizations, the 22 times estimate will underestimate the relative violence against these groups.….

Monkey Mask Wearing White Woman Attacks Larry Elder

THE FIVE (update)

Democrats, the media ignore attack on the California gubernatorial candidate; ‘The Five’ reacts

“If a white woman wearing a monkey mask threw an egg at a black democratic candidate, there would be wall to wall coverage,” Owens said. “This might actually constitute as a hate crime in Los Angeles.” — POST MILLENNIAL 

(Continuing)

Owens slammed mainstream media for failing to report on the incident and said if roles were reversed and a conservative woman were to throw eggs and attack a black Democrat candidate there would have been extensive coverage.

“If this was on the other side, if a white woman wearing a monkey mask threw an egg at a black democratic candidate, there would be wall to wall coverage,” Owens said. “This might actually constitute as a hate crime in Los Angeles.”

“We need to find out exactly who this woman is,” Owens continued, host of the Candace Owens Show on Daily Wire.

“She needs to be arrested and charges need to be brought because this is absolutely criminal and disgusting, and it might be racist. I’m unsure why she was wearing the monkey mask. I have no idea why she was wearing it, but I’d like to see more information about that,” Owens fired back.

Republican candidate Larry Elder has been at the on the receiving end of racist attacks by media in the state of California since announcing his campaign for governor. Elder hopes to replace Governor Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election on September 14.

FBI Finally Admits “GOP Shooter” Was A Domestic Terrorist

It took them long enough, but they finally admitted it after Christopher Wray (FBI head) laughably said it was a death by cop scenario — rather than an ideological Leftist shooting political adversaries Here is THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

The FBI quietly admitted Friday that the 2017 Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field shooting that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise has been classified as “domestic terrorism” carried out by a “domestic violent extremist” targeting Republicans after the bureau previously classified it as “suicide by cop.”

The revelation appears in the middle of an appendix on page 35 of a 40-page FBI-DHS report released on Friday titled “Security Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism.” In a section describing approximately 85 different “FBI-Designated Significant Domestic Terrorism Incidents in the United States from 2015 through 2019,” the Alexandria baseball field shooting appears, with the FBI categorizing the perpetrator as a “Domestic Violent Extremist” and describing the incident thusly: “An individual with a personalized violent ideology targeted and shot Republican members of Congress at a baseball field and wounded five people. The subject died as a result of engagement with law enforcement.”

In June 2017, James Hodgkinson, a man from Illinois who was living out of a van in Alexandria, opened fire at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park after asking GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan, who was leaving practice early, if the players were Republicans or Democrats. Hodgkinson struck Scalise in the hip, hit lobbyist Matt Mika in the chest, and injured two U.S. Capitol Police officers, Crystal Griner and David Bailey. Scalise nearly bled to death and required multiple surgeries before returning to Congress.

Hodgkinson, an avid liberal and supporter of Democratic presidential primary candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, was killed by law enforcement. He had posted on Facebook that “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.” and joined other groups such as “Terminate The Republican Party” and “Join The Resistance Worldwide!!”…..

THE BLAZE notes a portion of the declassified FBI report:

  • An individual with a personal violent ideology targeted and shot Republican members of Congress at a baseball field and wounded five people. The subject died as a result of engagement with law enforcement.

Continuing, they also write:

  • The Republicans also noted that Hodgkinson had a “potential ‘hit list'” in his pocket. The names on that list were GOP Reps. Jim Jordan (Ohio), Mo Brooks (Ala.), Trent Franks (Ariz.), Morgan Griffith (Va.), Scott DesJarlais (Tenn.), and Jeff Duncan (S.C.).

AS A REMINDER…

… of the recent revelation by Director Wray that got common sense people saying WTF!? BYRON YORK (May 3rd)

….“On Nov. 16, 2017, the FBI briefed those of us who were at the field that day,” Wenstrup said at a House Intelligence Committee hearing featuring FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Much to our shock that day, the FBI concluded that this was a case of the attacker seeking suicide by cop.”

“We were just astonished,” Wenstrup told me in a recent conversation. “We just went, ‘What?’ I said, ‘There’s no way. If you want to commit suicide by cop, you just pull a gun on a cop.’”

Hodgkinson had obviously done much, much more than that. and the suicide by cop theory made even less sense in light of the fact that the Capitol Police who were at the baseball field that day — the security detail for Scalise, a member of the House leadership — were sitting in an unmarked vehicle, wearing plain clothes. Hodkinson would not have known they were police.

Wenstrup also noted that the FBI had not interviewed the members — the victims — in this case. They never interviewed Duncan, who had actually spoken to the shooter. “I asked (the FBI), ‘Who did you talk to?’” Wenstrup recalled. “They took my number, called me the next day. I called them back, and never heard from them again.”

At the hearing, Wenstrup noted that, “Both the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence published products labeling this attack as a domestic violent extremism event specifically targeting Republican members of Congress. The FBI did not. The FBI still has not.”

Now, in light of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which is widely referred to as domestic terrorism, Wenstrup wonders what the FBI was doing. The attack “could have been a massacre,” Wenstrup noted. “The attacker may have believed he could change the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives in one morning.”

[….]

The unanswered question in all this is why the FBI, at the time under the leadership of acting Director Andrew McCabe, did what it did. Even at that time, the bureau was warning Americans of the danger posed by domestic terrorists. and yet the FBI refused to publicly recognize a clear act of domestic terrorism. Was some sort of Trump-era bias involved? Was it bureaucratic infighting? Something else? It’s time the victims in the case — and also the country as a whole — got some answers.
