Guardian Writer Eviscerated For Headline “We Still Don’t Know Why Britons Rioted A Month Ago”

A writer for the far left Guardian newspaper in the UK prompted massive backlash Wednesday by penning a piece claiming that no one really knows why British people angrily took to the streets last month.

Here is the article by Tim Newburn.

It happened largely in poorer working class areas because they’re sick of being treated like second hand citizens in favour of mass unchecked migration, with the trigger point being the brutal murder of three children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance camp in Southport by a second generation Rwandan migrant.

Everyone who expressed anger was immediately labelled a “far right extremist.”

It’s not some sort of mystery as to why this happened.

Kamala finally submits to an ‘interview’… and it should be the end of her campaign

An interview it was not. 

Kamala Harris shopped for months for a “moderator” that would make her look and sound competent and capable in an interview, and eventually she found what she was looking for. However, even though CNN’s Dana Bash did her best imitation of a real journalist conducting a hard-hitting interview, Kamala Harris failed. 

Unsurprisingly, Bash got no coherent answers from Harris who has had weeks to prepare for this event, so Bash retreated to fluff questions: about the phone call from Biden telling her he was ending his campaign!  Boring, irrelevant pancake talk and with her teary-eyed claim about just caring for Joe first, probably untrue. 

Then there was the clip about Tim Walz’s son crying at the DNC.  CNN ran the tears-for-dad shot, but failed to include the clip of Walz angrily yanking the poor young man’s hand as his family joined together on the DNC stage. 

Then there was the equally boring clip about the allegedly viral, “iconic” photo of Harris’ grandniece watching Kamala’s speech. 

In short, the interview was a colossal waste of time. 

Harris is absolutely incapable of answering simple questions. She gives new meaning to Gertrude Stein’s little platitude, “there is no there there.”  Ironically, Stein said that about Kamala’s stated hometown, Oakland, California. 

The CNN sit-down was supposed to be our introduction to her specific agenda, a clarification of her policies – on energy, immigration, the economy, transgenderism, etc. 

Kamala’s amorphous views on each of these issues has long been clear since her 2019 failed campaign for the presidency. No fracking, no gas-powered cars, a completely open border, defund the police, dissolve ICE, transgenderism is great, etc.  Her stated agenda then was the total destruction of America as founded.  Tonight she said her “values have not changed.”  On the other hand, she admitted, probably falsely, that she now supports fracking, gas-powered cars, a border wall, etc.  The woman has no idea what she thinks, supports or opposes beyond what she thinks people want to hear.  She has no core values and does not even know that she has no core values.  She well and truly is an empty pantsuit, a woman without any knowledge of the issues she pretends to grasp, a woman who mistakenly thinks she is so smart, she can bamboozle the American people into voting for a cipher.

Days After RFK Jr. Signaled Desire to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ Time Defends Ultra-Processed Foods + More

Time magazine ran a piece Monday questioning whether food linked to a litany of illnesses is really so bad.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed on Aug. 23 that a major factor behind his decision to endorse President Donald Trump was the opportunity to help “Make America Healthy Again” in a future Trump administration.

“Don’t you want healthy children?” said Kennedy. “And don’t you want the chemicals out of our food? And don’t you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption? And that’s what President Trump told me that he wanted.”

Days later, Time magazine signaled a possible narrative shift regarding American health with an article titled “What if Ultra-Processed Foods Aren’t as Bad as You Think?” — having just months earlier published an article entitled “Why Ultra-Processed Foods Are So Bad for You.”

Kennedy, unwilling to buy what Time appeared to be selling, tweeted, “Yeah, what if? And what if ultra-processed foods are WORSE than you think?”

Extreme Gaslighting: Here Are 7 Signs That The Mainstream Media Is Flat Out Lying To Us About The Economy

How many times have you heard the mainstream media tell you that the economy is doing just great in recent months?  Personally, I have seen the word “booming” used over and over again to describe the economy, and it makes me sick.  The level of gaslighting that we are witnessing right now is off the charts.  Millions of Americans are sleeping in their vehicles, thousands of businesses are failing all over the nation, and most of the country now believes that the American Dream is no longer attainable. 

If this is what a “booming” economy feels like, I would hate to see what would happen during a “recession”.

I totally understand why the mainstream media is gaslighting us.  They want us to believe that everything is fine so that we will vote a certain way in November.  They have an agenda, and they are pushing it really hard.

But what they are telling us simply does not match up with reality.

The following are 7 signs that the mainstream media is flat out lying to us about the economy…

Here’s What You Missed in Kamala Harris’ Trainwreck Edited Interview with Chaperone Tim Walz on CNN

In the latest attempt to hoodwink the American public, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz sat down with Dana Bash for what was supposed to be a transparent interview about their policies and plans if Harris were to ascend to the presidency.

Instead, what unfolded was a masterclass in political double-speak, half-truths, and outright lies, all carefully curated to mislead voters.

Kamala Harris made it clear during the interview that she has no intention of moderating her extreme positions. When asked if her values had changed, she proudly declared, “My values have not changed.” And that’s exactly the problem.

Harris’s values include support for mass amnesty for illegal immigrants, ending cash bail for criminals, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, banning fracking, and even abolishing private health insurance.

One of the most blatant lies Harris told during the interview was regarding her stance on fracking. She claims she won’t ban fracking, despite having enthusiastically supported such a ban in the past.

The hypocrisy is staggering. What changed, Kamala? The polls? Or was it the reality that banning fracking would devastate key swing states like Pennsylvania?

MSNBC Host Threatens to Sue Trump Aide Corey Lewandowski for Defamation — Then is Exposed by His Own Words in Shocking Video

MSNBC host Ari Melber threatened Trump aide Corey Lewandowski with legal action during a live broadcast of The Beat.

The exchange occurred after Lewandowski had the audacity to quote Melber’s own words back to him—words that exposed the media’s obsession with sensationalizing any aspect of President Donald Trump’s life, even following a failed assassination attempt.

Lewandowski, a seasoned campaign manager who played a pivotal role in Trump’s 2016 victory and who recently rejoined Trump’s campaign team as an adviser, didn’t back down in the face of Melber’s baseless threats.

Instead, he called out the MSNBC host for his hypocrisy, pointing out how Melber had described Trump’s appearance at the Republican National Convention last month.

In his broadcast, Melber had belittled Trump’s bandaged ear—an injury from the assassination attempt—as nothing more than “a prop, a spectacle from a candidate who’s obsessed with spectacles.”

NY Times Turns On Kamala! Publishes NUMEROUS OpEds on ‘Weak,’ ‘Phony’ and ‘Ignorant’ Democrat Nominee

We didn’t expect this on our 2024 bingo card!

The Old Gray Lady turned on Kama-Kama-Kama Kama-chamelion.

Has The New York Times turned on Kamala, the nation’s most unpopular vice president?

It’s hard to imagine.  The Times on Friday posted a hit on Kamala Harris titled, “Joy is Not a Strategy.”

Then, on Monday, The NY Times published an op-ed titled, “Trump Can win on character,” something that must have made the leftist elites vomit in their mouths.

It didn’t take long for the happy boost from the fantasy convention to flatline.  On Monday night, former Biden spox Jen Psaki faced a harsh reality when Don Lemon told her that “no one” knows who Kamala Harris is in the swing states he visited last week.

Maybe that’s good news, though? The more people learn about Kamala, the less they like her.

Abbey Gate Families Issue Statement on Trump Honoring the Fallen at Arlington Cemetery After Media Hit Job on Alleged “Physical Clash” With Cemetery Official Over Photographer

President Trump and several family members of the fallen from the August 26, 2021 Abbey Gate terror attack had a heartfelt, dignified morning at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday honoring their loved ones on the third anniversary of the attack. Trump participated with the family members along with several grievously wounded survivors in three wreath laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, followed by a visit to the graves of the fallen in Section 60.

The wreath laying ceremonies were covered by the media (somewhat), but press was not allowed by cemetery rules at Section 60. However, the Trump campaign said it had been granted permission by Arlington and the families to film at Section 60 that day.

A cemetery official on the scene tried to prevent the photographers with Trump and the families from accompanying them in Section 60, provoking an alleged incident that was reported by NPR Tuesday (excerpt):

Two members of Donald Trump’s campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.

..In a statement to NPR, Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign’s spokesman, strongly rejected the notion of a physical altercation, adding: “We are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made.

“The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony,” Cheung said in the statement.

Media Claims Elon Musk Is A Threat To Democracy – But Is “Democracy” Even Worth Saving?

There is perhaps nothing more tiresome and embarrassing as the theatrical pearl clutching of leftist media propaganda. For three years the public had to deal with the incessant drone of media fear mongering over the covid pandemic, an event which turned out to be a nothing-burger that 99.8% of the population on average would easily survive. After the 2020 elections we have been inundated with narratives about how conservatives are a “threat to democracy” – A democracy which progressives don’t even believe in as the recent DNC coup against Joe Biden proves.

The latest evolution of the democracy narrative is that free speech (and probably Russia) is the root evil behind civil unrest in western countries. The notion of thought crime is making its way to the forefront of the establishment tool box and this suggests we are entering the next stage of authoritarianism – Open criminalization of speech.

The Guardian in the UK is fully onboard with this development. The media outlet is on the warpath against Elon Musk and X (formerly known as Twitter) after Musk defied European and UK officials and their demands for censorship. In an article titled ‘Inciting Rioters In Britain Was A Test Run For Elon Musk. Just See What He Plans For America’, the platform launches into a tirade of delusional progressive talking points, a word salad designed to distract from the reality that what they are actually calling for is the death of free speech.

The Guardian argues:

“…Back in the golden days of 2020, tech platforms, still reeling from a public backlash, had at least to look as if they gave a shit. Twitter employed 4,000-plus people in “trust and safety”, tasked with getting dangerous content off its platform and sniffing out foreign influence operations.”

“In Britain, the canary has sung. This summer we have witnessed something new and unprecedented. The billionaire owner of a tech platform publicly confronting an elected leader and using his platform to undermine his authority and incite violence. Britain’s 2024 summer riots were Elon Musk’s trial balloon…”

“The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated…?”

“…What Musk – the new self-appointed Lord of Misrule – has done is to rip off the mask. He’s shown that you don’t even have to pretend to care. In Musk’s world, trust is mistrust and safety is censorship. His goal is chaos. And it’s coming.”

NYT Uncritically Reported Israel’s Version of Golan Bombing

As the US-backed genocide in Gaza continues, US media assist in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to widen the war, parroting the words of the aggressor. A consequential example of US press support for escalation was Western media’s coverage of the July 27 strike that killed 12 Druze children on a soccer field near the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

Israel and the US immediately blamed the Iran-backed Lebanese organization Hezbollah for the strike—citing Israeli intelligence reports of an Iranian Falaq-1 missile being found at the soccer field (BBC, 7/28/24).

But, in a move that Hezbollah expert Amal Saad called “uncharacteristic” (Drop Site, 7/30/24), the group adamantly denied responsibility for the attack. Saad, a lecturer in politics at Cardiff University, noted that targeting the Syrian Golan Heights—where many inhabitants are hostile towards Israel—would be “illogical” and “provocative” for Hezbollah. Further, if the organization had accidentally committed an attack, Saad pointed to a precedent of the group issuing a public apology in a case of misfire, with the organization’s leader, Hassan Nasrullah, visiting families of victims.
