Daily Broadside | Oh Noes! AOC And Illy Omar Are Arrested And (Not) Taken Away in Handcuffs!

Daily Verse | Ecclesiastes 4:4
And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor.

Wednesday’s Reading: Ecclesiastes 7-12

It’s Wednesday and if you’ve been reading my posts long enough you’ll know that I believe that the Democrats lie as naturally as breathing. Of them it could be said, like Jesus said of the devil, “When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).

I know that sounds uncharitable, but I’ve long documented the lies that Democrats and progressives tell, so don’t shush me by complaining that not all Democrats lie or that some conservatives and Republicans lie. Yes, they do. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Democrats and their progressive shock troops lie like a rug.

Trump is a Russian agent! If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor! Those border agents whipped those migrants! We only have <insert preferred number> years to save the planet!

And on and on it goes.

The latest example is of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar being arrested for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court while protesting the recent Roe v. Wade decision. It’s not a lie that they were arrested, but it is a lie that either one of them were handcuffed.

But they posed as if they were handcuffed while being arrested.

Nobody walks like she was walking with their hands behind their back if they aren’t handcuffed. It’s unnatural. Yet notice that at the end of the clip she raises her fist to acknowledge the crowd and then puts it right back where it was behind her.

Then there’s Ilhan Omar who apparently arrested herself.

Omar gets up from where she was sitting and, without a police escort, she walks herself away with her hands behind her back in imaginary cuffs.

Note that, just like AOC, she also raises her fist (just as the clip ends).

AOC and Omar lied about being handcuffed.

Why? For the photo op, of course. And the legacy media gives them exactly what they want. Notice the text of the tweet above: “under arrest and in handcuffs.”

No, they weren’t.

But that doesn’t stop the MSM from complying. Note the images below.

It sure LOOKS like they’re in handcuffs. How stunning! How brave!

The media—that independent, free press that is supposed to keep the government in check—supports them in their deceit. They don’t call them out for their acting. They’re in cahoots with the Dems.

These two women are lying, giving the false impression that they are in handcuffs, when in fact neither of them are. But this is stock-in-trade for Democrats. It’s all smoke and mirrors, deception and misdirection, a stunt, a little drama. They are agitators and for them, the ends justifies the means.

Just like the rest of their miserable tribe.

This is a perfect example of why nobody trusts the media, and why nobody should trust the Democrats.

Daily Broadside | The Left Means to Destroy Our Country As Founded

Daily Verse | 2 Kings 24:20
It was because of the Lord’s anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence.

It’s Thursday and the slow burn of the country formerly known as the United States of America continues apace. At the top of the list is the sacrificial white man Derek Chauvin who was tossed to the braying mob by the jurors in the false hope that it would appease the gods of woke. That of course won’t happen because once you feed the beast instead of starving it, it only wants more.

So now the activists that reside in Washington, D.C. will push their advantage by opening a “civil investigation to determine whether the Minneapolis police department has engaged in a pattern and practice of unconstitutional … policing,” announced yesterday by Merrick Garland, the US attorney general.

The probe will also determine “whether the Minneapolis police department engages in a pattern and practice of using excessive force during protests.” Garland said this new civil investigation was “separate from and independent of the federal criminal investigation into the death of George Floyd.”

So now we’re going to harass the cops who are trying to keep the streets safe and protect innocent civilians during “protests.” Anyone want to bet on what the findings will be? Wouldn’t want any mostly violent protesters getting hurt by the police while they’re breaking windows, setting fires, beating passersby, and looting stores. Gee, I wonder why cops are retiring in record numbers?

In spite of the convictions the Chauvin jury returned, these BLM activists demand that people trying to eat at a local restaurant leave New York City (NSFW language). See how pacified the black and white Marxists are? Let the healing begin!

Then there’s the insipid tendentiousness of the Bronx ditz Ms. AOC. She offered a take on climate change that challenges our understanding of the English language and all rules of logic.

“We must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change, that the trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change, because … we are allowing folks to deny ourselves human rights and deny people the right to health care, the right to housing and education.”

Seriously, what does one do with that Gordian verbal knot?

“Trampling indigenous rights is a cause of climate change.” Who knew that populating America with white people would cause the climate to “change”?

“Trampling racial justice is a cause of climate change.” Same. Can you believe that the Democrats and their defense of slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow laws would cause the earth to cool, then to heat up!?

“Because …” Here come the reasons …!

“We are allowing folks to deny ourselves human rights …” Wait, wut?

“… and deny people the right to health care …” Seriously? I thought Obamacare took care of that. It didn’t?

“… the right to housing and education.” Who in this country is denied housing or education? You know that we’re even providing all the illegal alien children with in-person schooling, right?

And this somehow all translates into the dreaded “climate change.”

She’s speaking English but it’s all Greek to me. Sometimes I think progressives just blurt a stream of consciousness that in their own head makes perfect sense—or maybe not—but that normal people can’t understand and therefore can’t respond to. Mind you, she wants to introduce legislation based on this mindless mishmash of unproveable claims. In days past, AOC would’ve been roundly mocked for her delirium, but that is verboten in today’s climate of change. (See what I did there?)

Finally, here’s one I bet you didn’t see coming. The United States Post Office has been spying on your social media posts.

The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.

Oh. Gone are the days of holding envelopes up to the light. Now the postman is reading through what you post on social media in order to rat you out to “government agencies.” I thought they delivered mail, not intelligence. This is part of a troubling trend of an expanding U.S. surveillance state.

A conviction for murder is a validation of racism. Racism is a cause of climate change. And the United States Post Office is taking notes on your social media accounts and passing them “across government agencies.” Like the FBI, DOJ, IRS and who knows who else.

Our once proud nation is being eroded at a faster and faster pace. I’ll give the last word to David Horowitz who, in a piece about the Chauvin verdict, writes about the activists pushing the narrative about racism.

In fact, we won’t be able to stop these destroyers until we recognize that they regard us – America – as the criminals. They have no respect for us and our laws and institutions. They hate us. They are busy spreading the Hate-America-Lies of our enemies Communist China, Islamo-fascist Iran and Putin. And they mean business. Their goal is the destruction of America. They will succeed unless we start taking them seriously and work to expose and crush them.
