Fake News Update Part 6: What Do You Do When Fact-Checkers Lie?

Politifact is another fraudulent fact-checking website and they laid several eggs recently:

85. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #1!

The Left-wing Lie Machine known as PolitiFact falsely claimed that Trump took Thomas Jefferson out of context when he recited Jefferson’s quote about the awfulness of the media. PowerLine explains:

Those statements, while certainly more pro-newspaper, are not a “different opinion” from Jefferson’s judgment twenty years later that “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper.” And, in any event, Jefferson’s saying something different on another occasion does not render Trump’s quotation “out of context,” misleading, or in any way inappropriate.

86. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #2!

PolitiFact claims Trump lied about saving the F-35 contract with Lockheed Martin. As PowerLine explains, it is PolitiFact that is lying, not Trump…

So Lockheed Martin agrees with Trump. Politifact argues that the savings were already in the pipeline, and that per-aircraft costs would be expected to decline as production ramps up, which may be part of what is going on here. So they argue that Trump shouldn’t really get all the credit. Fine. That is the Democratic Party’s perspective. But to say Trump is “mostly false” when he precisely echoes Lockheed Martin’s account is ridiculous.

87. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #3!

PolitiFact called Trump a liar over his 100% true claim that polls show an increase in optimism since his election win. In order to declare Trump a liar, PolitiFact points to polls that… have… nothing.. to… do… with… optimism. PowerLine again:

So what? Those polls don’t contradict Trump’s statement about optimism. Again, Policifact simply presents the Democratic Party’s contrary perspective–one could say, the Democrats’ alternative facts–to conclude that Trump is “spinning.” Here, Trump told the truth, and Politifact spun.

88. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #4!

PolitiFact calls Trump a liar for saying (truthfully) that his administration’s refugee pause targets “countries picked by Obama.” In order to declare Trump a liar, PolitiFact says that Trump went further than Obama in instituting the pause. The indispensible PowerLine again:

But no one said that Trump’s order was the same as one already promulgated by Obama. That would really be a scoop! Of course Trump’s order went farther; that was the point. All Trump said was that the seven countries covered by his order were “picked by Obama” as “countries of concern.” Which is true.

There is a reason I refer to the media as whores. Part 7 comes tomorrow.

How about a Sampling of Some Really Bad Bills in the State Legislature? This is a Must Read

 California State Budget, California State Government  No Responses »
Feb 192017
 

I recently had dinner with a member of the State Assembly. I was told that the Mileage Tax (that was supported by none other than Ted Gaines) is going to become a reality.

I was also told that the VLF increase of $65 is a done deal. A gas tax hike is a done deal.

Splitting Commercial Property and jacking the property taxes looks likely to pass as well. (This is the “Split-Roll” thing people have talked about for years)

There is a so-called “Snack Tax” that is also up for consideration.

If you were not sick enough – I had a friend send me some info:

SB-18, the Nanny State on Acid Bill. This Bill is so broad and so poorly written on purpose that it literally puts the School System and the State of CA in front of parent’s rights for good. Gun groups even believe that this law could be used to steal children from their parents over Gun Ownership.

Senator Richard Pan, who is the author of SB-18 is on a roll after his forced vaccination bill passed last year. It is my belief that Richard Pan has gone insane and would make a great despot of a small Asian Country.

Pan is also a doctor and as such, believes that Doctors should have little or no oversight and unlimited power over our lives. Not only does SB-18 empower the state, but it also gives doctors even more power to intervene in parenting as well.

So Pan decided to go postal this session:

SB-426, which expands the government’s role in home visits. It has nebulous definitions of what “At-Risk Families” are. AS in, bibles and guns could be included. It also controls more of county budgets (that are already 90% controlled by the state). How does he intend for Government to exert the control? Either do what we say or lose the funding.

SB-487 which strips hospitals of oversight of doctors. It makes it much more difficult for bad doctors to get convicted of a crime related to their surgical practices.

SB-481 allows a doctor to make care decisions for senior patients when there is no health care directive in place or a responsible party available. So, if you have a loved one in a care facility, you had better have an estate plan, and a care directive in place or the doctor in the facility could euthanize them. The bill literally gives a doctor the unilateral ability to declare a patient unfit. This is amazing and is an extension of the Physician Assisted Suicide Bill.

I am wondering if calling Senator Richard Pan, Richard Mengele is more appropriate.

SB-808 gives School Districts complete veto power over Charter Schools. Senator Tony Mendoza is a whore of the Teacher’s Union, so it stands to reason that he’d pay off his master with this gem.

This bill would repeal those provisions authorizing a county board of education or the state board to approve a petition to establish a charter school and would specify that, on and after January 1, 2018, a petition to establish a charter school may not be approved by a county board of education or the state board and may be submitted only to the school district the boundaries within which the charter school would be located. The bill would provide that charter schools operating under a charter approved by a county board of education or the state board may continue to operate under those charters only until the date on which the charter is required to be renewed.

It is my understanding that the John Adams Academy and the Western Sierra Collegiate Academy were both chartered by the Placer County Office of Education. They can both kiss their charters good bye if this passes unless the underlying school boards have had a change of heart.

The bottom line with SB 808 is that it empowers the Teacher’s Unions to spend millions electing their lackeys in to school districts so they can choke off and kill competition.

Existing School Boards with Union Majorities will be able to eliminate Charter Schools wholesale WITH NO RECOURSE FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL after 1/1/2018.

Gotta love these democrats. Authoritarian to their core.

The last bill I am highlighting is a garden variety Welfare State Bill. This is the latest in a 20 year string of democrat voter recruiting bills that have California harboring 38% of the Welfare Cases in the nation (and rising).

AB-992 Joaquin Arambula – you will now be able to get FREE DIAPERS to go along with your Obamaphone, free health insurance, welfare checks, food stamps, free car… you get my gist.

I remember Joaquin’s dad, Juan Arambula. Juan is part of a near dead breed, a true moderate / conservative democrat. Juan was so disgusted with how far left the dem party in CA had gone, he re-registered Independent and quit the legislature several years ago. Apparently, Joaquin is living off of his last name and little more. (Where have I seen a member of the Assembly with no qualifications other than a last name before?)

BONUS – Extreme Left Wing Militant Homosexual Activist Christian Hating Ricardo Lara has introduced Single Payer Health Insurance in California as a reaction to the deep deep fear the denizens of the welfare state have over repeal and replacement of Obamacare. The state is $100B or more in the hole, but who cares! Ricardo Lara and Richard Pan had they been alive 90 years ago would have been goose-stepping in Moscow or Berlin.

I am wondering why the hell I still live in California.

The Absolute Meltdown of the Left? An Update to My Commentary on the Tactics of the American Left

 Donald Trump  No Responses »
Feb 182017
 
Gallup – the granddaddy of US polling says it all. 84% of Americans see Trump as Legitimate. This includes 76% of Clinton Voters.

So who is rioting? Why do they seem to migrate from protest to protest? It is a clear fringe of society, 24% of 48% of the electorate.

As I have written previously, the left knows that they have willing accomplices in the American Media (witness the 5 blogs about fake news in just the last week alone) and as such, they are staging events for the Camera Eye. The internet allows the right to quickly debunk outright lies being propagated by the left and the media – but in the case of the #muslimban which is not a muslim ban, the Media deception machine still works.

The left has overplayed their hand. They are unable to tell the truth about their opposition to Trump’s policies, so let me spell it out:

  1. Immigration. The left sees immigrants as welfare recipients and as a result democrat voters.
  2. Trade. The left wants lopsidedly anti-american trade deals in order to weaken America globally. America’s very existence is an anathema to global socialism.
  3. Tax Reform. The left wants regressive taxation to keep people poor and dependent on government. A more prosperous people get more conservative.
  4. Jobs. The left prefer insane regulation and outsourcing to economic prosperity. A more prosperous people get more conservative.
  5. Religious Freedom. The left hate Christian Values, because they are an anathema to the platform of the democrat party.
  6. Gun Rights. The left oppose them as guns = power to the people, not government.

The deceptions used in order to avoid telling the truth?:

  1. If you want any sort of control or immigration enforcement, you are a racist.
  2. If you think government regulation has gone too far, you hate the environment.
  3. If you are pro-life, you hate women
  4. If you want to reform welfare, you hate black people
  5. If you want tax reform, then you support tax cuts for the rich. (Marxist class warfare argument)
  6. If you support religious freedom, then you hate LGBTQ
  7. if you support Gun Rights, then you support more crime

Get it? De-humanize your opponents. Once you strip your opponents of their humanity, then you can justify anything. This would include riots, destroying property, threats (internet or otherwise), censorship (a la facebook, twitter, etc), lying in place of news stories, and in extreme cases imprisonment, torture and mass murder. (See Also Mao Tse Tung, Josef Stalin, etc.)

The American left know that a unified America is a Conservative America. The American left know that a Christian America would cause the influence of Judeo-Christian morality to increase at the expense of the welfare state.

Look at what the left is freaked out over:

A riot/march called the women’s march was hosted by a Muslim Woman with ties to Hamas. So, it is clear that the left has thrown in with Islam (radical and otherwise). It is also clear that Abortion is an issue that democrats will ironically fight to the death over as they have successfully pedaled a lie that Abortion is Women’s rights. Unfortunately for them – even biased polling shows they are finally losing the effectiveness of that lie. Marist was consistently favorable to Democrats in their 2016 polling. 54-57% of White Women voted for Trump, this fact apparently has terrified democrats to the point of the disgusting spectacle of Women marching in costumes dummied up to look like female genitalia. (That ironically is mutilated in 80% of the cases of Muslim women worldwide)

They have bet almost all of their political capitol on the #Muslimban lie. This shows that the race card and the demagoguery of splitting people along racial lines is a key cornerstone to their future relevance. They are losing that battle too, 66% of Americans agree with Banning Muslim Immigration and majorities across the board in polling data favor stricter enforcement of immigration laws. Exit polls show that across the board, Donald Trump did better than Mitt Romney with all demographic groups, this despite my firsthand knowledge of democrats telling Mexicans they will get deported if Trump wins. (Note that ICE is indeed doing raids, and are deporting convicted felons that Obama’s illegal executive order in 2013 allowed to stay – this is quite different than the lie that people with green cards and/or citizens would be deported)

The democrats have turned the confirmation of Trump’s Cabinet appointments in to a historically slow partisan dog and pony show. This is for two reasons: 1. They have a deep, inner need to “get trump” somewhere, just to stop something he is doing. The second reason dovetails with my above list.

They smeared Tom Price – ironically, one of the club because they want to keep Obama’s disastrous socialized medicine program in force. Rather than be honest, they smeared the Congressman with unrelated issues.

They smeared Betsy DeVos because she supports School Choice. She will help break the stranglehold Public Employee Unions have over brainwashing our children.

They smeared Senator Jeff Sessions with the race card, going all out to stop him, because they know that their advances of the 8 years under Obama were due to his refusal to enforce existing laws and the enforcement thereof will reverse it.

They smeared Rex Tillerson because he is such a departure from John Kerry and Hillary Clinton that his success will make them look bad.

Donald Trump is literally attacking the foundation of liberalism:

  1. Creating Prosperity and Jobs – People get more conservative as they get further away from dependence on government
  2. Promoting liberty and freedom – this comes at the expense of government control
  3. Promoting religious freedom – People of Faith are by definition more conservative
  4. Promoting a national identity – returning to a unified melting pot versus a hyphenated separated society.
  5. Promoting competitive and dynamic education – instead of liberal one-size-fits-all outcome-based education
  6. America First – a strong America will cause other countries under brutal dictatorships to lose influence globally

The left is boxed in. They will be forced to protest and riot because their playbook has worn that thin. Their latest stunt of Blocking Education Secretary DeVos from a Washington D.C. School seems to have finally gotten the attention of some of the smart people within their ranks.

The left is boxed in. They will be forced to lie and smear their opponents because a divided America is their only hope for success. The Media will never discuss this, but as I was watching the tapes of the coverage on election night, at those moments it dawned on most of them what had happened. Their egos and personal biases took over quickly and they returned to their bubbles.

I will conclude by saying that I believe the leaders of the left understand everything I have written. I am just not sure if they can do anything about it other than what they have been doing that seems to no longer be working. It was my opinion that both Bushes hurt the GOP because of their failure to lead. Watching Donald Trump lead and watching carefully what he is doing shows me that a strong conservative leader transcends years of societal programming.

How sweet it is.

Destruction of the Race Card in the Name of Islam Part 2, Ignoring, Lying About and Hiding Islamic Violence.

 Donald Trump, Islam  No Responses »

Muslims don’t play well with others. History proves it. The incidence of support for violence ranges from 8-40% of the population depending on where you are. By Contrast, less than .1% of Christians in any similar survey hold a similar view. This means then, that Muslims on average (using 10% support for violence) are 1,000 times more likely than a Christian to want to murder non believers. Now, why do we want to let them immigrate en masse?

The left has made their Islamic Bed and is betting their political future on trying to stop Donald Trump’s immigration reforms. The reasons are two-fold, 1. Islam is compatible with Totalitarian Socialism and 2. Mass Migration is the #1 recruiting tool to create new Democrats. It is what it is. How de-humanizing, as these immigrants are people – but are used as tools.

When I see the American left doing things that don’t make logical sense on the surface – I start looking deeper. The problem for the American Left is that Radical Islam (see the 10-40% number) will kill them too and they will not be controlled by any infidel.

Witness the co-founder of Black Lives Matter in Ontario: She also faced controversy in the news for a tweet posted a year ago stating: “Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”

A co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto argued that white people are “recessive genetic defects” and purportedly mused about how the race could be “wiped out” according to a post on what appears to be her Facebook page.

Lovely, Huh. Read here for more.

In Canada, they are allowing mass Muslim Migration now and the rapes and murders are happening in almost the same alarming numbers as they are occurring all over Europe, in addition, like in Europe the government and media are attempting to suppress information.

Witness the “refugee” that sexually assaulted 6 women. The media took three days to tell the truth that the perpetrator was a “Syrian Refugee”. A similar event occurred in another Canadian City. The response of the leftist government in control of Canada? An Anti-Islamophobia law designed to crush dissent. Canada is the same country whose supreme court ruled that Christian Pastors can not teach the gospel about Homosexuality because it is hate speech.

Enter Muslim Immigrants / Refugees – Xavier Becerra, an extreme left-wing ideologue made an extremely deceptive claim: Not one Refugee Settled Since 9/11 has been arrested on domestic terrorism charges. Quoting the Washington Post – yes the Trump-Hating, often proven liars in the Washington Post:

The FBI describes “domestic terrorism” in the post-9/11 era as “Americans attacking Americans based on U.S.-based extremist ideologies.” The FBI’s examples of domestic terrorism include eco-terrorists and animal rights extremists, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Unabomber and the sovereign citizens movement.

Xavier Becerra lied. He got two Pinocchios from the Washington Post’s Fact-Checkers for this claim. It is not possible for a non citizen to be arrested on Domestic Terrorism Charges. Becerra is now the California Attorney General, he knows the truth. He will fit in well with the brood of vipers in Sacramento.

How many of you remember Chattanooga? San Bernardino? The Pulse Nightclub in Orlando? Mass Murders, all by Muslims and in all cases Obama was remiss to call them acts of Terrorism and in all cases the national media took 24-36 hours before telling the truth that the perpetrator was a Muslim. Click here to see a complete list of verified Islamic Terrorist Attacks in America during the Obama Administration.

Here are a couple of bonus terrorist stories in just the last few days in America: Muslim Pleads Guilty of Aiding Isis and trying to kill an FBI Agent. A Muslim National Guard Member gets 11 years in Prison for plotting a terrorist attack.   Apparently, neither of these count in Xavier Becerra’s (or the left’s) eyes.

Let’s say that there was not a hair splitting legal nuance in Becerra’s statement and he really meant to say there was no terrorism in America during Obama’s tenure? Ummm, 72 convicted terrorists have come from the 7 countries identified in Donald Trump’s travel ban that the left is fighting to overturn. People do really strange things when they are trying to win a fight.

When the Washington Post runs a story about 4 ISIS Terrorists that were embedded in a batch of “refugees” that hit Germany,  (Two of them were involved in the Brussels Massacre) it makes a clear case for why the Trump administration is justified in attempting to stem the tide of Muslim Refugees pending being able to better identify these people.

The left has taken the racist if you disagree with us argument to a new level with their latest on tilt political effort to “Get Trump”. They have outed themselves as denizens of Islam and have made a clear choice to Americans that they are the party of Islam.

This is insane from a polling perspective as Americans have a pretty unfavorable view of Islam. It reeks more of them brown-nosing a constituency as Muslims only voted 77-11 for Clinton according to exit polls.

When you combine the left’s assault on Christianity and their dogged defense of Islam despite the mounting evidence of violence that has come with it, it is clear that they have mortgaged the race card in order to try to divide America once again. I have written a consistent theme of the tactics of the American left having to dine on division in order to have social justice to campaign on.

This time, however the left has picked something clearly wrong to try to demagogue for votes. They are calling people afraid of getting killed by radical Islamic terrorists racists and worse are lying and obfuscating to cover up for it. This is a long-term loser.

The Destruction of the Race Card in the Name of Islam – Part 1, Left-Sanctioned Persecution of Christians

Jewish leaders I know for years have told me there has been an unholy alliance between the American Left and Islam. The American Left is now invoking the “Your a Racist” canard in defense of Islamic “Refugees” against all those with concern about it.

While Christians are targeted repeatedly by the left and in particular homosexual activists, the left is silent about the first amendment rights of Christians. Yet – the left are rioting over a temporary travel ban from 7 specific nations with an extreme risk of terrorist activity. The ACLU raised $24 million to attack Donald Trump’s initiatives to stem the tide of Radical Islamic Terror coming in to America at the behest of their fellow Muslim Barack Obama.

The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled on August 22, 2013 against Jonathan and Elaine. One of the justices said that the Huguenins are “now are compelled by law to compromise the very religious beliefs that inspire their lives,” and he declared that this compulsion “is the price of citizenship.”

This is the case of the New Mexico Photographers.

Remember the bakers in Oregon? The state of ORegon bankrupted them, because once again the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal. The New Mexico Photographers seem to have not gotten fined. The Bakers in Oregon ended up getting $145,000 stolen from them and the militant activist liberal lost his bid to become Secretary of State in Oregon. Apparently, even Oregon could not stomach his brand of liberalism. Heck, the Portland Police are now arresting left-wing protestors! (and, for good measure just picked up two looters that were rioting after the election)

As labor commissioner, Avakian was best known for taking on Sweet Cakes by Melissa, a Gresham bakery that refused to bake a cake for a same-sex couple. Avakian hit the company with a $135,000 penalty.

In Colorado, enter another “Human Rights Commission”. This time, what they did to a baker was right out of Josef Stalin or Mao Tse Tung’s Playbook:

Even after explaining to the commission that it wasn’t the people Jack objected to, it was the message the cake would send about marriage, an administrative law judge ruled against Jack in December 2013, saying that designing and creating cakes for same-sex wedding ceremonies are not speech protected by the First Amendment. The commission also ordered Jack and his staff to create cakes for same-sex wedding celebrations, go through a “re-education” program, implement new policies to comply with the commission’s order, and file quarterly “compliance” reports for two years to show that Jack has completely eliminated his religious beliefs form his business.

Click here to read about the florist in Washington that got fined. How about 6 months in Jail and a $2500 fine for each day you refuse to do a Gay Wedding? This is in Phoenix, Az. How about ordering a Christian Shirt Maker to do shirts for a Gay-Lesbian Rally? Yes, this time in Lexington Kentucky.

This is why the media and the left are freaked out about Donald Trump’s initiatives on religious freedom. They will decimate their agenda of forcing normalization of homosexuality and making homosexuals superior to Christians. Divide and Conquer, the left’s #1 tactic for relevance. But – the left isn’t even consistent.

Imagine if a Court or a Human Rights Commission did this to a Muslim? Hint, they didn’t.

When some right-leaning journalists went undercover in the heavily Muslim areas of Michigan and found several Muslim-Owned Bakeries and Florists who refused to serve a Gay Wedding, did the ACLU Sue? Did the Left Protest? nope.

The Left has thrown in with Islam. This is an insanely stupid decision politically, but should put in raised relief what their priorities for society are.

In the second installment of this post, I am going to talk about the brutal reality of Muslim Immigration and what it means. Suffice to say, as per usual, the democrats are calling anyone that does not want to be put at risk by unvetted mass muslim migration a racist. I suppose this same brilliant logic is what they use to justify ordering Christians to violate their faith behind unaccountable cowards in robes known as judges. (or “Human Rights” commissions)

To Be Continued
