LA Times Article Calls To Replace ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ With… ‘Lean On Me’
by Shifra on July 15, 2020‘Lean on Me’ ? Why not go “whole-hog” and replace our national anthem with the fav of Communists/Socialists everywhere? ‘The Internationale’ would make AOC and her pals very happy. Via Daily Caller. An article published in the Los Angeles Times Tuesday said that the “Star-Spangled Banner” should be replaced by Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me.” LA Times contributor Jody Rosen cited “viral posts on social media” which said the anthem is racist, then argued it is aesthetically a bad song in the article. Rosen concluded saying the message of “Lean on Me” can be a foundation for a “decent” society. “If the point of a national anthem is to provide a mnemonic, a reminder in music and words of the...

‘USA Today’ Claims American Eagle Is A ‘Nazi Symbol’
by Shifra on July 13, 2020This latest piece of garbage from the Left was served up by Bend The Arc, a so-called ‘Jewish’ progressive group. Their name is taken from a famous quote from Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” MLK was strongly pro-Israel, while Bend the Arc is viciously anti-Israel; the name of their group is a travesty. Via PJ Media. ….The American eagle on your money is now deemed a cancelable object because President Trump’s campaign store put an eagle on a tee-shirt that they claim, if you squint your eyes and look a thousand yards out there somewhere there’s a Nazi symbol….

Vandals Cut Down Flagpole at 9/11 Memorial for Fallen Firefighters in NY Village
by Shifra on July 9, 2020Why? From Tammy’s latest column at Washington Times: Marxist mobs sweep into cities, call for defunding of police, tear down statues and create havoc We were told this was a “movement” to make Black lives matter. We were told this was a movement to reform and improve the police. We were told Black Americans were being targeted and killed indiscriminately and that had to stop. After George Floyd’s death, we were told many things with which we agreed. But instead of a movement to make Black lives matter, anarchist Antifa thugs and the Democratic Party-associated Marxist Black Lives Matter swooped in — exploiting Black lives, the continuing tragedy of the inner city and the goodwill and unity of the American...

Woke Math: Belief That 2+2=4 Is Cultural, Result of Western Imperialism
by Shifra on July 8, 2020This teacher is working on her doctoral dissertation. I didn’t know you could get a Ph.D. in ‘Dumb.’ If she wants to believe that 2+2=4 is open to “other interpretations,” fine. But lots of luck getting medication filled where the pharmacist “re-interprets” the prescription numbers in a more woke manner. Or walking into an elevator where the building construction crew “re-imagined” the blueprints based on their feelings. Via PJ Media. Brittany Marshall, a self-described teacher and Ph.D. student, took to Twitter this past weekend to voice her displeasure about the concept of 2+2=4, saying the “idea” of the simple math equation is merely “cultural.”…. “Nope the idea of 2+2 equaling 4 is cultural and because of western imperialism/colonization, we think...

Democrat House Candidate Asks Twitter Followers to Report Trump Supporters
by Shifra on July 6, 2020Nate McMurray is not just some annoying Twitter troll, he is a Democrat running for Congress. He thinks he is being clever by conflating ‘racism’ with ‘Trump support.’ Last night, Joe Biden promised that if he wins, he will ‘transform’ America. Does ‘transform’ means getting rid of the Second Amendment, and the First Amendment too? Via Breitbart. Nate McMurray, the Democrat candidate for New York’s 27th Congressional District, urged Twitter followers Wednesday to “report” Trump supporters…. When you see fake videos, when you see racism, when you hear support for Trump… Do not roll your eyes Do not play nice Do not worry about hurting someone’s feelings CALL IT OUT—REPORT IT—FIGHT IT We can not reward or tolerate ignorance.

WaPo Mocked For Claiming Trump Was Wrong About Violence In Dem-Run Cities
by Shifra on June 29, 2020The Washington Post’s motto should be changed from ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ to ‘Democracy Dies in Unbridled Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Via Daily Caller. The Washington Post tried to push back on President Donald Trump’s claim that the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats – but the graph provided largely proved Trump’s point. Trump said Wednesday that “every one” of America’s “20 most dangerous” cities “are Democrat run.” WaPo’s analysis headline wrote that “Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren’t.” The article, however, did not provide a single city run by a Republican in the top 20 most violent cities per capita. According to data WaPo gathered to...

Fail: Pelosi And Schumer Both Flub George Floyd’s Name
by Shifra on June 26, 2020George Kirby? Floyd Taylor? George Taylor? Because Pelosi and Schumer *really* care…about their own power, about defeating President Trump, and about turning our country into a huge dumpster fire. Do they care about Senator Tim Scott’s efforts at real police reform? Not so much. Via BPR. ….Pandering in response to the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which Democrats passed Thursday in the House, as Pelosi recalled the exchange she referred to Floyd as “George Kirby.” “And I’m very proud… that before he testified he said to me, ‘Madam Speaker, do you think that I can tell George’s daughter his name will be always remembered because you’ll name the bill for him,” Pelosi said. “And I said, ‘Well I’ll recommend...

Minneapolis Neighborhood Vows No More Cops, Now Overrun With Vagrants
by Shifra on June 25, 2020Wait, having a police-free area brings homelessness, drug dealers and prostitution? Who knew?…said no rational person, ever. Via Fox News.

Pollster Who Predicted ’16 Trump Michigan Win Now Says State A Dead Heat
by Shifra on June 24, 2020You’ve seen the blaring headlines declaring the polls are bad for Trump? Yeah…no: Via RealClearPolitics. ….Cahaly’s polls in 2016 also showed Donald Trump winning Pennsylvania – again, he was nearly alone in projecting Trump’s narrow victory there – and thus taking the White House. Cahaly’s success continued in 2018, most conspicuously in Florida. He was one of the few pollsters whose data showed Ron DeSantis beating Andrew Gillum in the Florida gubernatorial race and Rick Scott besting incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson in the Senate race…. So it’s notable that Cahaly has just released his first poll of the 2020 cycle, a survey of likely voters in Michigan showing Trump trailing Joe Biden by a single point, 46%-45%…. Cahaly’s survey, using...
