Fascistics at CNN in Over Drive to Keep Creepy Dem Bidens ‘Clean Enough’

THE AD THAT CNN WOULDN’T RUN

by  John Hinderaker  at PowerLine:

CNN refused to run this Trump ad on the Biden Ukraine scandal. Why?

“CNN is rejecting the ad, as it does not meet our advertising standards,” a network spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “Specifically, in addition to disparaging CNN and its journalists, the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets, including CNN.”

I have no idea what “assertions” have been “proven demonstrably false.” That is a characterization that I would apply to probably 75% of Democratic Party advertising carried by CNN and other networks, but what they have in mind here, I don’t know. Here is the ad:

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I AM DRAINING THE SWAMP!

Embedded video

Free speech: in today’s America, you can’t buy it.
(NOTE:   Fascists NEVER care about Truth!  Fascist care about POWER   TO RULE THE MASSES WITHOUT INTERFERENCE, without competition!
Most  Americans under age 40 have no clue about Fascism.   In public schools,  universities, colleges and the PRESS Leftist Fascism has become sacred.  They have overtaken the name LIBERAL.
Fascism  now owns the Schiff wing of the fading Democrat Party…..WHERE POWER, NOT TRUTH COMMANDS  MERIT.
Feminists are the most aggressive in selling their own  fascistic wears.  They are not good at problem solving.  They love to hate. “Power”  makes them feel tough!  ghr.

When will Americans Begin to Notice the Schiff Fascists Now Destroying Our American Dream to Seek and Honor TRUTH!

Where would we Americans be today without the devotion for truth and freedom exercised by honest Jewish folks such as John Hinderaker and Dennis Prager?

Our American Christian community, may God Bless Them, seems to have retreated into the Roman catacombs again  (for another 500 years?).   At least they still worship the importance of Truth over Evil when  80% of their voters went for  and elected Donald J. Trump to the American Presidency in 2016!!

THEY, ABOVE ALL OTHER AMERICAN GROUPS  RECOGNIZED HILLARY’S FASCISTIC  EVILS.

What makes Evil in a live human animal? ……  THE ABSENCE OF TRUTH AND HUMAN DECENCY, something I learned at Church and in school, kindergarten to college and graduate school when America was still the AMERICAN DREAM!

It isn’t too hard to understand….UNLESS YOU ARE FASCISTS LIKE  ADAM SCHIFF,  NANCY PELOSI, JERRY NADLER,  CHARLES SCHUMER, RICHARD BLUMENTHAL, BERNIE SANDERS, ERIC SWALWELL, MAXINE WATERS, GEORGE SOROS, HOLLYWOOD, AND UNIVERSITIES and other mouths running today’s Fascistic Dem Party absent of traditional American values dreamed and honored.

Fox News is also among this crowd of evil, but probably not by design…., perhaps their STAR animals don’t know the evil they are  nursing when selling  Adam Schiff and crowd.   “Conservative” Fox advertises “fair and balanced”  news….and so,  sells  Schiff FASCIST disorders and lies  as equal to those honest traditional Republicans and Democrats who still honor and strive for Truth and honesty but are too gutless or too uneducated to know or remember how vitally important EXERCISING TRUTH IS IN A FREEDOM LOVING COUNTRY  LIKE AMERICA IN MY LIFETIME  STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN WHEN IT VALUED THE GUIDE OF GODFEARING JUDEOCHRISTIANITY!

I have never met John Hinderaker, one of my heroes trying to save our traditional American values in our days of Schiff swamp.   He seems to be a very gentle gentleman when evaluating the fascist and fascistic horrors now overwhelming our dreams of America!   Such gentlemen are better than no gentlemen at all.

The human female animal prefers security over freedom.   Fascism whether German, Soviet, Maoist, or Schiff-style doesn’t really seem to matter as long as she feels ‘SECURE’.

Atheist War Against Christianity Continues!

Hundreds attend Alabama ‘Back to School Worship Service’ after it was targeted by atheists

In the wake of the shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, an Alabama high school held a back-to-school worship service in its gym “praying for God’s protective hand” over school children and the nation, despite being targeted by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which accused the school board of violating the constitution.

“I do not believe we broke the law in having this event on the Fyffe High School campus,” DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Jason Barnett told Fox News.

ATHEISTS COMPLAIN ABOUT BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRAYER EVENT AT ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL

Hundreds gathered at Fyffe High School in Dekalb County Sunday to pray for safety and protection as part of an annual “Back to School Worship Service” that has been held for the last five years or so. The FFRF called the event a clear violation of church and state.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation called for an investigation into a "back-to-school worship service" held at an Alabama high school, but officials say it's a community event not affiliated with the school.

“DeKalb County Schools must make certain that its teachers and administrators are not unlawfully and inappropriately indoctrinating students in religious matters,” the letter demanding an investigation said.

FFRF said a “concerned DeKalb County Schools parent” reported the event was being organized and promoted by school faculty members and promoted on the school’s official Facebook page, which has since been taken down: “Please join us in praying for God’s protective hand to be over our schools, facilities, and students.”

ATHEISTS CRY FOUL AFTER 18 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS GET BAPTIZED ON THE FIELD

But Barnett said the event was organized by community members not affiliated with the high school and approved by the school board, much like other events.

DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Jason Barnett defended a back-to-school worship service held at Fyffe High School in Alabama after the Freedom From Religion Foundation targeted it.

“To my knowledge, no administrators or faculty members were involved in the organization and planning of the event. I want to add that the board did not promote this event, but rather permitted an announcement of the event on the school Facebook page just as it permits others to provide information about community events,” Barnett noted. “The ‘us’ in the Facebook announcement refers to the organizers of the event, not the school or the school board.”

Because of the attention from the FFRF complaint, the small prayer gathering had over 350 community members in attendance, a sizable increase from previous years, according to the local news.

In addition to praying for the schoolchildren, pastors and faith leaders prayed for those involved in the weekend’s mass shootings.

“Its a scary world, that’s why we are praying for God’s protection over our schools,” Jon Mayes, Guest Baptist Church pastor and parent, told WAAY TV.

Barnett said the school district has taken steps in the past few years to maintain safety for its students and has made it a major focus.

Truth, at last, Creeps into our American NEWS….

How Feminist Social Justice Warriors are Killing Men

I have said time and time again, that feminism is akin to cancer on the world. Some will undoubtedly question my views on feminism; I agree that first wave, and even to a point second wave feminism did good things for woman and equality. The right to vote, wear clothes we feel comfortable in, and the ability to work outside the home to name a few.

As third wave feminism desperately needs to embrace a cause in order to stay both relevant and valid in the eyes of society, femimists have doubled down on men in general. They denounce “the patriarchy,” the imaginary world that has men running everything and secretly holding women back from certain careers and advancement in the workplace.  They even claim an imaginary wage gap is a problem.  However, none of this exists in reality.

Women and men think differently.  I know this may be a shock to some, but our brains do in fact work differently.  Women are less likely to be attracted to careers that men are typically drawn to. Engineering, math, science and work in the trades are not something many women seek out to find careers in.  Just as men are typically not administrative office support, human resources specialists and even teachers very often.  This being said, nobody is holding women back from certain careers; they are choosing not to pursue those careers upon entering college and then the workforce.

Women also tend to take more time off than their male counterparts in the workplace. Maternity leave and personal time to care for children at home make up the majority of work absenteeism by women. Yet feminists insist that there is a gender pay gap; never once considering that men work longer hours, and are not taking as much time off.

I have never experienced this “patriarchy” that purportedly oppresses women in the workplace. There may be times when disagreements over ideas happened; however in any functioning place of work where critical thinking takes place, there will be alternate views and concepts. This is not oppression. I have even had male colleagues “go to bat for me” in the workplace, stating to our supervisors that I was the correct person to work on certain projects.

So why exactly are feminists of the modern era so angry with men? We live in a world where all the real problems and issues are taken care of, so virtue signaling and social justice has emerged to create issues to be upset over. Imagine waking up each day and looking for things to get riled up over and then deciding men are the root cause of all evil? Imagine turning men’s issues into a way for women to further play victim? Such nonsense has already occurred in the many media outlets, such as this article from Harpers Bazaar “Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden.” Isolated men are a woman’s burden? This incessant pandering to females as the ultimate victims in an oppressive society truly needs to be culled.

Men are feeling hopeless and unwanted. They are losing the ability to find purpose in life since they are repetitively enlightened by the media about how bad they are for merely existing. If you cannot find a purpose in life, what is the point in living simply to exist? This is a real problem men are facing today and it is women who caused it.

We began to see how this became a problem with the #MeToo movement. What started out as good intentions to shed light on sexual assault and harassment in and around Hollywood, and then into the common workplace, rapidly turned on its own head. When all it took was a person’s word that something happened with no actual proof, this movement started targeting men. “Believe all women” was a battle cry, and yet there is evidence that some women were lying to gain fame and payouts in the end, vilifying men and ruining careers in the blink of an eye.

More and more women are embracing their sexuality and having casual sex with random partners. It has been found that some of the allegations levied against men for sex crimes, were in fact women who later regretted their own decisions. The new ability to withdraw consent at any time is a dangerously slippery slope. When women make poor judgement calls and regret having sex with a man, they can accuse him of rape because they feel like it.

Social Justice Warriors who are screaming the loudest at every possible turn, have decided that all men are a problem. You know these women; they constantly talk about how horrible men are, and how the patriarchy is holding them back.  They set out to destroy men in general.  All men are predators who are in need of being “cancelled” to these SJWs.  This leads to rabid attacks on men all over social media and out in the streets in protest, as well.

Imagine, if you will, being a young man, and all you hear is how terrible, atrocious, predatory, and downright evil men are. Does this type of nonstop barrage of demeaning language make for healthy self-esteem, or mental health? No.  An entire group of human beings is being abused and mentally battered every day, and we wonder why male suicide is on the rise?

With Mental Health Awareness in mind, it is important for SJW’s and especially 3rd wave feminists to understand that they are literally killing men. The suicide rate among males is nearly four times higher (22.4 per 100,000 in 2017) than among females (6.1 per 100,000 in 2017).According to the National Institute of Mental Health.

How about we “cancel” blame shifting for poor decisions, regrets, and making yourself feel superior by demonizing another? That would certainly be a nice change of pace. Maybe the crushing depression of feeling worthless in society will lift and some much-needed civility will return.

If you are in crisis, call the toll-free National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service is available to anyone. All calls are confidential. http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org

Note:  THERE IS  EVIL IN  THE PRETENSE OF TODAY’S AMERICAN LEFTIST PROPAGANDA  THAT  HUMAN MALE AND FEMALE ANIMALS ARE THE SAME CREATURES.

Human  females as a mass  are no enemy to any fascistic state, Soviet, Nazi, or Mao or California or New York state.   Females are easy,  incredibly easy to get on with feminist life in any fascist state, if fed enough water,  food, residence,  or charm.

The human she was never genetically programmed to be a reliable warrior….a killer sniper or two, maybe, …but not much as a warrior.

THE HE OF THE HUMAN SPECIES IS BORN CURIOUS and potentially a killer.    HISTORICALLY, THE SHE OF THE HUMAN ANIMAL SURVIVES QUITE EASILY IN ANY FASCISTIC EMPIRE.  LIBERTY IS SIMPLY NOT A POWERHOUSE IN HER MIND OR BLOOD.  SHE DOES WHAT MALE FASCISM TELLS HER TO DO.  SHE IS MADE TO PRODUCE FUTURE WARRIORS AS THE (MALE) FASCIST STATE DIRECTS.   MAN IS THE WORRY FOR THE CIVILIZED OR THE UNCIVILIZED,  FASCIST OR  FREE….FOR MAN IS BORN TO BE A PROTECTOR, A BUILDER, AN INVENTOR, A PROBLEM SOLVER,  A HUNTER, A KILLER IF NEEDED.

 

 

Today’s Hisslehurst and Phillipia English Speaking World

Not quite one eighty fifth of my “current”  life was spent in what used to be a Great Britain.  From age 5, unaware as I was then, I was driven by birth and life to become drugged to become an out of doors guy, a landscape garden slave….

….after all, my Church and country used to assure my family, and therefore me,  paradise was a Beautiful Garden.    My mind and eye came to own me to love learning about God and history of  mankind, however…..despite my dyslexia which controlled  so much of my school life.  I loved learning, but NOT in the chemistry, geometry,  or masonry worlds,  but the beautiful  outdoor world the soil produces.   My Mother was an avid flower gardener.  My dad of Scotch-English background either owned or managed a drugstore.   I went to college…..and indoor world.

These days, except for the worst of winter,  my indoor world last for about an hour each morning, enough time for breakfast and news.   I am God-fearing, therefore a conservative, which means there is almost nothing of knowledge beyond leftist and/or biggest business running our American communications and the news these days.  So I turn on the North American noise from today’s  BBC for something quite different…..the world of Brit twits that has come to America for show….Aaron Heslehurst and Phillipa Thomas.

It’s Heslehurst time: Aaron is really a rabbit in a hurry, literally running hither and thither “Talking Business” while on the runs looking for a toilet, no doubt …..yet never finding one for view  (thank God) to stir the modern Brit twit’s morning in America.

And the human female version???  No one these days dare miss the female version of modern Western life!  It’s a “she” named Phillipa……Phillipa Thomas, allegedly a lefty reporter of the female variety of the human male:  Standing stately in male costume and “wisdom” radiating appearance of instant problem solving.

I wonder whatever happened to Tommy Robinson, the last chance of real Brits from the past!  Do our “English” relatives still have him in jail for keeping traditional England alive?

 

 

Why Do Our Conservative Supreme Court Judges so often “Judge” with the Fascist Left?

THE LIBERAL SUPREME COURT BLOC STANDS FIRM

by  John Hinderaker  at PowerLine:

Liberals constantly worry about conservative domination of the Supreme Court. Would that it were true: the Court’s conservatives have long been a diverse bunch, and, unlike the liberals, they have never formed a consistent voting bloc. I have sometimes wondered whether Democratic nominees go through a secret ceremony in which they pledge to vote the Democratic Party line in any case where the party demands their vote. Probably not, I suppose, but it often seems that way.

Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute has done the math:

There were 67 decisions after argument in the term that ended in June. In those cases, the four justices appointed by Democratic presidents voted the same way 51 times, while the five Republican appointees held tight 37 times. And of the 20 cases where the court split 5-4, only seven had the “expected” ideological divide of conservatives over liberals. By the end of the term, each conservative justice had joined the liberals as the deciding vote at least once.

That dynamic isn’t something that sprang up in the Trump era or with the court’s newest personnel. In the 2014-15 term, with Kennedy at the height of his “swing vote” power —the last full term before Justice Antonin Scalia’s death and resulting year-long vacancy — the four liberals stuck together in 55 of 66 cases, while the four conservatives (not counting Kennedy) voted as a unit in 39.

Shapiro makes this obvious point:

Speaking of politically fraught cases that end up 5-4, it’s notable that there’s never a question of how the liberal justices will vote. Speculation runs rampant over whether one of the conservatives will go wobbly — whether out of unpredictable moderation, minimalistic pragmatism or idiosyncratic theory — but the liberals are guaranteed to please their constituency.

While the liberal justices vote together in political solidarity, the more conservative justices have divergent approaches to jurisprudence which they actually try to apply with intellectual rigor. That may be commendable, but it explains why the Court as a body is more liberal than one might expect.

 

The Liberal Supreme Court Bloc Stands Firm

Answer seems rather obvious….For the past generation and a half Dems have chosen lefty leftists to the Supreme Court BAR…..the more Ginsberg-extreme, the better.

Half of today’s GOP Conservatives are only half Conservative and of the Big Business kind, the ones close to lots of $$$ and/or like majority Dems, never had to work for a living!

The Fascist Left Corruption at Google…..!

Got Google? Scarier than milk

by Marion DS Dreyfus   at American Thinker:
.

Mark Levin had a fascinating episode yesterday on his exceptional hour-long Fox News program, Life, Liberty & Levin, where his guest is an avowed leftist but an honest researcher — rara avis, right there — and this Dr. Robert Epstein spent the hour describing the constant but usually subtle manipulations indulged in by Google from 2016 to push millions of votes toward HRC, though people were scarcely aware their search results and the “casual” characters generated by search engine inputs tilted them repeatedly to voting for one party over the other (over 3 million votes, Dr. Robert Epstein says).  This is being done all the time by Google.

Mark Levin and Dr. Robert Epstein.
YouTube screen grab.

I have suspected this all along, as I have been on focus groups funded by Google and so cognate social media — they know that people no longer trust them.  That was the end of Google for me; it is Bing for me from now on.  It has been easier to use Google, particularly at work, where I did massive data searches all day long, verifying facts and checking dates and so on.  No longer.

Epstein (a strong Hillary-supporter, BTW) is frighteningly full of years of collected research and evidence on voting and election manipulations.  It is a miracle — given the info he imparts, which is only part of the bigger picture — that anyone other than HRC could have won, against the strong efforts of the FBI and Justice Dept. to suppress support for anyone other than Mrs. Clinton.

Hand of G-d that she did not win.  None of this would have been known had she won.  We would have had everything, all the criminals, all the malfeasance, buried forever.  No whisper would have emerged.

In these focus groups, which have about 25 people of each party, I was impressed that neither of the parties and none of the participants seemed to trust Google, all of them being media people and smart professionals.  No one trusts the ongoing efforts of social media to push us into the slots they want us to occupy.  These results were surprising to me, as I had expected to hear bias from one side of the political divide.  But the discussions were probing and compelling: no one trusts Google’s neutrality in matters that count.

Rather alarming.

Dr. Epstein says, Google will be working harder than ever to influence voters in the coming months.  (More Dems by a huge factor use Google than do conservatives and Republicans, meaning a seemingly innocuous message like “Go Vote” on their logo instead of “Google” on Election Day pushes millions more Dems to vote than Conservatives — a passive influence few even recognize.  The evidence is overwhelming.  Google knows exactly what it has been doing and will continue to do.  We are also being surveilled constantly, and our searches are collated and noted and used against us, one way or another.)  Gmail and Chrome are both surveillance tools, as Epstein describes it.

As a test, I typed in “a…” on the Google search bar.

Sure enough, Amazon, Google’s biggest advertiser, appears at the third position.  They are always pushing Amazon and their other clients.  But tellingly, position one was American Thinker — followed closely by position 2, “Andy McCarthy’s new book.”  Both those first two clearly non-leftist “suggestions,” generated by the Google algorithm, had the word “remove” after them.  Why?  All the rest of the “a” suggestions, about a dozen, had no such verbal command attached.  But I surmise that Google had noted my private attachment to AT, and I had been emailing about and to Andy McCarthy recently, too, so these “suggestions'” may just be for me, and from my clearly surveilled search results.

Whatever the reason for those two being targeted for the demonic-nuanced “remove,” I don’t care for it.  Or for Google.  They control 92% of world searches, with the next biggest search engine controlling…under 3%.  Put that in your cardamom-popper and smoke it.

SOCIALISM IN ACTION

Violence continues in Hong Kong, as the Communist government continues to suppress popular demonstrations against Hong Kong’s loss of independence and freedom. This video gives a graphic sense of what is going on–a police riot. It is hard to disagree with Kyle Kashuv’s observation: “This is what real fascism looks like–the Communist Party of China.”

Socialism In Action

Dear Friends, especially Democrats who still understand what a free society is supposed to be.   Fascist Police State Russia of today is not that different from the Communist USSR of the twentieth century Stalin style….It is true  its press and its police are not as criminal  as they were  when I was in the good old fascist  Soviet USSR in 1966 and again in 1990 when I was still fluent speaking my Tsarist Russian….the beautiful Russian I was taught by ancient emigres who fled to America, the one that blended in so well among the curious Soviet citizens who heard it and loved its music.

I wore Russky saggy clothes on both occasions.   It allowed me to meet and talk freely with some many wonderful Soviet surviving citizens in  parks, on the beaches, or  in the urban collectives where most of them lived.

I was not a Soviet lover like Bernard Sanders, the Socialist-Communist Senator from Vermont….the one who celebrated his marriage in the Soviet Union decades ago.

I taught Social Studies and Russian in an American high school  in 1966 receiving an American government grant to go to the Soviet Union to strengthen my language skills and knowledge of what a police state is like.

The Soviet population lived like struggling cattle forever in a pen ruled by leftist fascists who kept the masses in their pastures doing what they were told to do or else via a world of secret police.   As in today’s leftist America,  Soviet press, Soviet schools, Soviet television was 100% Soviet propaganda controlled and sold.

Another Chernobyl at Russia’s Sarov?

Russia’s New Chernobyl?

It’s been almost three weeks since a nuclear accident took place near the secret military city of Sarov, and Russia has only now begun to acknowledge it. Yesterday, the country’s weather service reported the elevated presence of four isotopes in the environment while still claiming that no particular danger exists:

Russia’s state weather and environment monitoring agency on Monday released new details about a brief spike in radioactivity following a mysterious explosion at the navy’s testing range that has been surrounded by secrecy and fueled fears of increased radiation levels.

The Aug. 8 incident at the Russian navy’s range in Nyonoksa on the White Sea killed two servicemen and five nuclear engineers and injured six others. The authorities reported a rise in radiation levels in nearby Severodvinsk, but insisted it didn’t pose any danger.

Russia’s state weather and environmental monitoring agency Rosgidromet said Monday the brief rise in radiation levels was caused by a cloud of radioactive gases containing isotopes of barium, strontium and lanthanum that drifted across the area. The agency said its monitoring has found no trace of radiation in air or ground samples since Aug. 8.

Russia has finally — if indirectly — acknowledged that the accident involved their new nuclear-powered cruise missile, which NATO calls Skyfall:

Russian officials have not conceded that the explosion involved the missile called the Skyfall. But on Monday, a Russian diplomat for the first time spoke of the accident in terms of the purpose for such a missile.

The diplomat, Aleksei Karpov, Russia’s envoy to international organizations in Vienna, blamed the United States for setting Russia on the path to developing a new device by withdrawing from an antiballistic missile treaty over 15 years ago.

Just how bad was this explosion? The types of isotopes in the leading edge of the cloud makes it clear that this was a reactor explosion, as was Chernobyl in 1986, if not on the same scale. It also leads observers to conclude that the radiation risk is likely worse in the region than Russia’s weather service admits:

“These are fission products,” Joshua Pollack, a leading expert on nuclear and missile proliferation, told Insider. “If anyone still doubts that a nuclear reactor was involved in this incident, this report should go a long way toward resolving that.”

Alexander Uvarov, the editor of the independent news site AtomInfo.ru, told the news agency RIA Novosti that these isotopes were products of nuclear fission involving uranium, Agence France-Presse reported Monday. This collection of radioisotopes could be released by a reaction involving uranium-235.

Nils Bohmer, a Norwegian nuclear-safety expert, told The Barents Observer that “the presence of decay products like barium and strontium is coming from a nuclear chain reaction,” adding that it was evidence that it “was a nuclear reactor that exploded.”

The Russians have acted as though the danger was higher than they were willing to admit on camera. In their zeal to protect themselves from criticism over the accident, Russian authorities left residents in the dark about the risks, including the first responders:

The Defense Ministry denied any radiation leak even as the local administration in Severodvinsk reported a hike in radiation levels and told residents to stay indoors — a move that prompted frightened residents to buy iodine, which can help reduce risks from exposure to radiation.

Russian media reported that the victims of the explosion received high doses of radiation. They said that medical workers at the Arkhangelsk city hospital that treated three of those injured said they hadn’t been warned that they would treat people exposed to radiation and lacked elementary protective gear.

The Moscow Times on Monday cited Igor Semin, a cardiovascular surgeon at the hospital, who scathingly criticized the authorities in a social network post for failing to warn the hospital workers about the deadly risks. “They were abandoned and left to fend for themselves,” the newspaper quoted Semin as saying.

Anyone who has studied the Chernobyl accident will find frightening parallels in this new accident. For years, the Soviets denied the true scope of the accident, and in the first few hours denied an accident had taken place at all. When Western nations began detecting high levels of radiation on the winds, the Soviets admitted that an accident had taken place but denied the scope of the problem. They delayed evacuations so as not to embarrass the political leadership, lied to the first responders, and only admitted to the true nature of the accident after the Soviet system had collapsed — bad engineering combined with incompetent operation.

This accident may not be anywhere near as bad as Chernobyl, but given the Russian government’s desire to follow the Chernobyl playbook, it must be pretty bad on its own. They’re only admitting to what cannot be denied — the dispersal of radioactive elements — while still denying any other implications of what seems clearly to be a reactor explosion, which would be a highly contaminative event. The need for secrecy suggests something closer to the worst-case scenario rather than the best-case scenario.

Perhaps this will convince Russia and others to dispense with the idea of nuclear propulsion on missiles. Don’t count on that, though; Chernobyl should have forced the Soviets to shut down all of its RBMK-type reactors, but they continued to operate — and in fact ten still operate in Russia. Some lessons never quite get learned when accountability is non-existent.

Russia’s new Chernobyl?

(Note:   In 1990 I had traveled to the USSR, fascist Soviet Russia,  with an Anoka, Minnesota group of Christians who had gathered thousands of dollars to donate personally to Russian hospitals serving the countless thousands of victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.   I was fluent in speaking Russian at the time and was glad to be of service.
I had been teaching Russian in my ‘earlier’ life, and had spent a month in the USSR in 1966, practicing the language when it was still a first class nasty  fascist government.
Our current Dems in Congress today  seem to be have become purveyors of a Soviet type fascist  state.   Countless Americans don’t seem to care.   Most are Democrats!)  ghr

Fascistic Supreme Court Judge, Ginsburg, to be Retiring Soon!!!

Democrats Brace for War over Supreme Court

by  Fletch Daniels at American Thinker:

 

The news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was treated for pancreatic cancer raised the possibility of a Supreme Court opening within the next year.

The 86-year-old Ginsburg’s health has been declining for years, to where the last year has felt like a bad remake of the 1989 Weekend at Bernie’s movie.  Instead of enjoying her golden years in retirement, Ginsburg has been propped up and hidden in the hopes of holding the seat until a Democrat is elected.

The always elegant Michael Moore, who previously placed a Ginsburg doll atop a Christmas tree, summed up the Democrat zeitgeist when he tweeted, “HOLYMOTHEROFRBG!! EVERYBODY, RIGHT THIS SECOND, JOIN A MOVEMENT, CAMPAIGN, GRASS ROOTS GROUP -WHATEVER – AND WORK NONSTOP BTWN RIGHT NOW & NOV 2020!”

The Left is already manning the barricades.  The resulting hearing will make the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco, a dark moment in U.S. history, look like a charming affair.  In the event that President Donald Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, as many conservatives hope, this hearing will be a preview of the Apocalypse.

The rise of hatred on the Left, aided by years of persistent media bias and leftist propaganda, has created a rolling tidal wave of hate ready to crash on shore in violence.  The two most likely triggering events that would cause that crash are the re-election of President Trump and the next opening on the Supreme Court, particularly to fill Ginsburg’s seat.  It’s an increasingly good bet that the latter will come first.

The Democrats are telegraphing they will go scorched earth to fight Barrett, and Senator Chuck Schumer will appeal to President Trump to prevent her nomination.  Trump should politely decline.

There are a few reasons why Barrett generates so much fear and hatred among Democrats.

The first reason is the routine hatred liberals reserve for all conservative-minded minorities and women, particularly if they are also people of faith.  This is why Miguel Estrada’s nomination to the federal bench was torpedoed in 2001, to prevent the possibility of a young Hispanic conservative rising to the Supreme Court.  It is why Sarah Palin was mocked so relentlessly and unfairly.  Any conservatives who challenge the liberal narrative demanding that minorities and women pledge fealty to liberal orthodoxy must be destroyed, lest other people start getting ideas.

Democrats also know they will have a more difficult time disqualifying Barrett and will have to reach deeper into their toxic playbook than saying she is a secret pedophile who likes gang rape and nice walks on the beach.

Barrett is also young, meaning she could be on the Court for decades.

For Democrats, these Supreme Court wars boil down to abortion, the issue that most excites their perverse passion.  It is a sad state of affairs when a major political party so champions the killing of the most vulnerable Americans as a mythical foundational right that they feel they must destroy anyone who could threaten this.  They also understand that the fragile Roe v. Wade decision is built on a non-existent foundation.

Dianne Feinstein has already previewed a primary argument to be wielded against Barrett if she is nominated with Feinstein’s “dogma lives loudly within you” comments in 2017.  Democrats will argue that, as a believing Catholic, Barrett is somehow not qualified to be on the Supreme Court, that real believing Christians, vice the Nancy Pelosi variety, are biased and can’t interpret the Constitution.

Besides being a slur against all people of faith, this is absurd.  The Constitution was written by people of faith for the purpose of governing a moral people, and there is nothing in the Constitution that is even remotely prohibitive of people of faith serving as judges.

As John Adams presciently observed, “our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”  But most people of faith recoil in horror at abortion, so Democrats are highly suspicious of faith-abiding Americans.  Democrats will then resort to ever more outrageous accusations, hoping something sticks.

While predicting presidential Supreme Court nominations is often a fool’s game, I hope President Trump does nominate Barrett if given the opportunity, both because she would be a superb judge and because it would serve as the kind of illustrative moment this president is so gifted at creating.

Liberals will be unable to check their worst impulses, and Americans, a majority of whom identify as people of faith, will watch the Left descend upon this courageous woman like a screaming pack of banshees since, to borrow from Feinstein, the insanity lives loudly within them.  Also, it is blatantly unfair not to consider a person who is a woman and a Christian just because it offends liberal sensibilities.

Regardless, the nomination of any of the judges on the list produced by the Federalist Society will result in a liberal meltdown.

What can we expect?

If and when the vacancy occurs, Democrats will first argue that any nomination should be put off until after the 2020 election.  Senator Mitch McConnell will reject this outright, since he is too smart to fall for this trap.  Failing at winning this argument, media-aided liberals will try to leverage it to argue for a more palatable (liberal) nominee in the interest of compromise, which will be rejected.

Once the nomination is made, the Left will go to war.

Mobs will gather outside the homes of targeted Republican senators to intimidate and threaten them and their family members.  Death threats will become ubiquitous background noise.  Just imagine the recent protest outside McConnell’s house when a participant cheerily threatened to stab him through the heart.  Now multiply that evil intensity by a thousand.

Liberals will fiercely target any Republican senator who is viewed as wobbly, socially liberal, or from a blue state.  Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Martha McSally, Cory Gardner, and Mitt Romney will all be targeted, as will others, in the hope of flipping four Republicans.

Antifa-style violence is likely to break into the streets.  We are fast approaching the moment in history where some Supreme Court justices and their families will need as much protection as what is afforded the president.

Former Obama official David Axelrod warned that a SCOTUS vacancy “will tear this country apart.”  Whose fault is that?  Democrats have always been the aggressors in the judicial wars.  Ginsburg was confirmed 96-3.  Sonia Sotomayor: 68-31.  Elena Kagan: 63-37.  While Axelrod knows his political tribe all too well, Republicans should stand strong against intimidation and violence.

The entire leftstream media will blanket the airwaves and papers with around-the-clock condemnation of the nominee as being out of the mainstream, joined by academia and the entertainment industry.  They will justify every outrage as part of the resistance, a euphemism to cover all evil acts.

Republicans must expect this and be prepared for the coming fight.  No matter how bad they think it will get, it will be worse.  But, if Republicans stand together, victory is assured.

Liberal anger and hatred have been building toward this moment.  All that is left is to wait for the right event to light the fuse.  That may be coming soon.
