On Monday (6/08), Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrat leadership became the living embodiment of a tagline symbolizing helpless frailty.
Politicians, when they are running for office, claim they love and support small businesses — but many of them lie.
Over the last three months, the political class has waged an intense war against those people who have risked their savings and countless time and effort to build viable small businesses — including personal and business services, restaurants, etc.
Business owners were told that they must shut down because of the spread of COVID-19 — and that mitigation actions such as distance limitations and enhanced cleaning would not be enough — unless, of course, you happen to have a big business like Walmart, Target, a major food chain, Home Depot, etc.
The big-store chains love the fact that politicians have made it illegal for smaller enterprises to compete with them. Do you think the politicians might be rewarded for doing the dirty work for the big guys during this political fund-raising cycle?
The irony is almost unbearable – American heroism in space, Anarcho-Fascist violence tearing American cities apart below.
Shortly after witnessing the successful SpaceX launch last Saturday (5/30), the President delivered a remarkable address at the Kennedy Space Center.
I have waited many years for such a presidential declaration. My Aeschylus and America in 2004 expressed it in the section on “Aeschylus and Neal Armstrong” – that we had a failure of nerve in the face of the rest of humanity’s envy for the greatest achievement in the history of mankind, America’s landing a man on the Moon.
We retreated from space, from Vietnam, from everywhere. Ronald Reagan rescued us, then proceeded to achieve the impossible once again, America ridding the world of the Soviet Union to peacefully win the Cold War. We’ve been retreating from that heroic pinnacle ever since. Until, that is, we rejected retreat and strove for greatness instead as we did with Ronald Reagan, and elected Donald Trump.
Coronavirus has been the most searched term on Google in 2020. Suddenly, for the last several days, three-quarters of the top trending Google searches relate to the country-wide riots over the death of George Floyd. Virtually no searches of the Chinese coronavirus.
Twitter provides another barometer. Of the top trending Twitter topics for these days noted above, a third were tied to the riots, but nothing regarding the Wuhan flu.
How could such a black swan event disappear from the news so quickly? This is another example of Rush Limbaugh’s “drive-by media”, quickly driving past a story that is no longer of use or relevance to the DNC media apparatus.
Was the past four months of media hysteria and panic really about the virus? Or was it instead a means to a desired end?
The Death-by-Cop of George Floyd in Minneapolis was grotesque. That the people of Minneapolis have turned out to protest is understandable.
But is it really the citizens of Minneapolis who have set the city on fire, burning down small businesses as well as the police precinct building, libraries, etc.? Who are those masked men in black with secret-service quality ear-pieces, military grade gas masks and backpacks full of Molotov cocktails?
They are very likely professional rioters, recruited, transported and paid by the likes of some George Soros front group or other anonymous Cloward-Piven devotees who share Soros’ hatred of America and want to see this nation bought to its knees.
The same Democrats who just a few weeks ago threatened beach walkers, churchgoers, and other disobedient social distancers are giving a wink and a nod to arsonists, looters, and attempted murderers.
Democrats belong to the Party of Lawlessness. No wonder Democratic politicians only give lip service in condemning the looters; they share a mutual contempt for the ideals on which the country was founded and a common mission to fundamentally transform the country and all its institutions to yield to their America-hating point of view.
Why, then, should we be compelled to rescue them as violence continues? Why should we not watch in smug satisfaction as they are hoisted with their own petard?
One of the more disturbing images to emerge in the past few days has been of police officers and National Guardsman kneeling — effectively bowing down — before the mob.“Black lives matter until a black woman gets pregnant”
--observation among pro-life black women
These men and women who represent the forces of law and order claim they are kneeling in solidarity, but what they're doing looks remarkably like surrender.
The reason they are doing so is almost certainly because they believe the Big Lie that leftists are selling — namely, that law enforcement is causing a black "genocide."
While it's true that there is black genocide in America, it's not coming from law enforcement. It's coming straight from Planned Parenthood, the Democrats' most sacred organization.
After nearly four years, we’ve arrived at the end game, the final, violent cry of the “resistance” as it continues to try to overturn the results of the 2016 election and tip the United States of America irreversibly toward anarchy and socialism.
Aided and abetted by the mainstream media and the majority of Democrat politicians, the current unrest sweeping the country is being presented as “dissent” and “protest” but is, in fact, insurrection. It’s time to put it down, hard.
Although the media would have you believe otherwise, we’ve been down this road as a nation before, and dealt with insurrection decisively. It’s time for President Trump to do the same – and there is no question that he has the law on his side.
[New York Times journos are in “open revolt” over the egregiousness of publishing a view opposing theirs. TTP salutes Senator Cotton for his courage. This op-ed was in the NY Times yesterday 6/03]
This week, rioters have plunged many American cities into anarchy, recalling the widespread violence of the 1960s.
These rioters, if not subdued, not only will destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens but will also take more innocent lives. Many poor communities that still bear scars from past upheavals will be set back still further.
One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers. But local law enforcement in some cities desperately needs backup, while delusional politicians in other cities refuse to do what’s necessary to uphold the rule of law.
These two pictures of Memorial Day Commemoration on Monday (5/25) have starkly contrasting messages. The one above projects courage to live without needless fear, the one below projects the necessity of needless fear.
Patricia McCarthy in her The Mask Police of the Left this week (5/27) notes that we didn’t have this virtue-signalling tyranny when the Chicom-Democrat-Media Virus was at its peak. Now that we’re opening up and we know it’s no more or even less lethal than seasonal flu, all of a sudden everyone has to wear a mask. Why? Because:
My skydiving buddy Chris Wentzel and I made this flag jump on Memorial Day years ago to pay tribute to those in our military who gave their lives for America. I’m on the right, Chris on the left. The jump was performed at the Skydive Perris drop zone in Perris, California. It’s only fitting I post this on TTP in honor of those whom we memorialize in gratitude on this day.
Yesterday (5/27), the Communist government of China ruled to end Hong Kong’s autonomy. It is the latest perfidy demonstrating how the Beijing regime is humanity’s greatest enemy of freedom in the world today.
But only the latest – far from the worse.
Chinese Communist – or Chicom for short – evil is epitomized by its founder, Mao Tse-Tung, being listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Greatest Mass Murderer in human history – and reconfirmed by scholar researchers in Mao’s Great Famine
And today, his political heirs in Beijing have pulled off a feat of utter depravity that would have made Mao proud.
If I could feel sorry for anyone on Team Biden – and forget that! – it would be for his press secretary, who must feel like the guy with the shovel who walks behind the elephants at the circus.
Slow Joe’s most recent gaffe makes plain why he (a) can’t be permitted to speak in public without a script; (b) can’t be permitted to speak for more than four or five minutes, tops, and (c) can’t be interviewed by anyone who isn’t a toady throwing softballs.
But as we’ll see below, they may be stuck with him.
