News Weakly - 8/17/2024

When Kamala Came to Arizona
Kamala is on record as opposing voter ID, but when she came to a rally in Arizona, she required government-issued IDs to get in. Because voting isn't that important, but she is. The double standard is strong with this one.

No headline here; just an observation, a question. Why is it that nearly all mainstream media coverage of the current campaigning paint Kamala and Walz in a purely positive light and Trump and Vance in a purely negative light? No shades, even. If a news item comes out about something negative in the Harris/Walz side, the story includes a defense. If something negative is offered on the Republican side, the story typically includes a refutation of anything negative. It just seems so blatant that I can't figure out why it's not news on its own. How long has it been since we had a "Walter Cronkite," a news outlet that gave us the news and not the propaganda and recommended way to think? Why is it that even my suggesting such a thing makes people scratch their heads like I'm talking gibberish? It seems our current media lives in that middle state between outright terrorism -- "We live in terrifying times, so think what we want you to" -- and propaganda. And the public no longer has the right to know ... that obvious truth.

Socialism? Check!
Ilhan Omar, a House Representative from Minnesota, is well known for her positions. The media recognizes her as "progressive" and even "radical progressive." She favors amnesty for illegals, advanced minimum wages, free college, universal healthcare, killing babies in the womb, etc. -- a socialist's socialist. The fact that she just won her primary again in a state that boasts of Walz as their governor tells us a lot about the majority of Minnesotan political views, doesn't it?

Inflated
The story says it was "good news for Vice President Kamala Harris" -- inflation decreased. What does that mean? It decreased by one-tenth of a percentage point -- from 3% to 2.9%. That doesn't mean prices decreased; it means that the rate of increase isn't as steep as it was. Our government is not bringing prices down, improving our financial conditions, making our lives more affordable. They're just slowing down the harm ... one-tenth of a percent. So clearly we need to elect Harris. Makes sense? No, not to me, either.

Low-Hanging Fruit
Tim Walz clarified that he was not "stealing valor" -- he was just redistributing it. Like any good socialist, right? Then there was the story about the woman promising to fix things if we vote her into office ... you know, the woman currently in office who hasn't managed to fix anything. But, don't worry. Harris promises to announce her policy positions just as soon as polls tell her what they are. (Oh, look ... she's started already.) Like any good politician.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

They claim that voter ID laws are bad for minorities because they're too incapable of getting them. It certainly is a hardship for illegals to get an ID. But ID only matters when it benefits them. If most migrants and minorities didn't vote Left, they'd be all for requiring ID and we all know it.

It has gotten so bad that even the Left recognizes it. Colbert was interviewing a CNN anchor and straight-faced said they were unbiased at CNN and the audience started to laugh. They just don't care that their news sources only feed them what the news sources want to.

And Marshal wonders why I have no faith in the government. We have allowed so much unchecked immigration of people that don't want to help build America but to change it to their view, not realizing that the places they left were worse because of their views, not despite them. Combined with moral relativism and a turning away from Christian morality and ethics. We have half the country that doesn't want to make America great, they want to rebuild it.

Wait, I thought Biden was still president? Oh silly me.

Here in the people's republic the sheep will vote for a water buffalo if it's got DFL next to the name on the ballot.

This isn't the first time we've seen this by Dems. Previous Dem events have demanded such from attendees.

Typical Dem spin. The lies just keep on comin'!

Uncle Walter wasn't unbiased. His reporting of the Tet Offensive gave too many Americans the idea our side was losing that battle. We just didn't have any idea of just how biased they were as news sources weren't as plentiful and varied as there are now.

Socialism? Check!

In Minnesota's defense (not that they're deserving of one), it's my understanding Omar's district is jam-packed with Somalis. I also seem to recall her assuring them that Somalia will be somehow given greater attention by her than the United States. Of course they re-elected her. Now imagine another 10-16 million illegals entering our country and getting the vote.

Craig said...

Art,

Omar does have one of the areas where Somali immigrants have congregated, as well as two of the areas with a high percentage of low income voters. Yet they are hardly the majority. Her district also covers some of the highest income portions of MPLS as well as some medium to high income predominately white suburbs. It's not quite as monolithic as it seems. The problem is that in those parts of urban/1st ring MPLS there are all to many who are going to vote for a water buffalo if it has DFL after it's name on the ballot. That area is one of the most blue in the state regardless of demographics.
