Punked
American Thinker ^ | 26 May, 2024 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 05/26/2024 3:49:28 AM PDT by MtnClimber

This week, a lot of people and institutions got “punked,” that is, humiliated, by their own actions. Of course, the eternal punkees, as Hussein Aboubakar so brilliantly notes, are those who bought the Nakba myth by which Arab rulers instrumentalized the Palestinians for their own ends, a myth which ended with the Abraham Accords.

There are so many hoist by their own petard this week, I’m faced with an embarrassment of riches. Let’s start with the attack on Justice Samuel Alito. The Left simply cannot abide the fact that it doesn’t control all branches of the government, and threatens to pack the court and, barring that, disparages and tries to force the recusal of justices Clarence Thomas and Alito from the presidential immunity case, if not their removal from the court altogether. They promote one pretext after another. Someone -- maybe a dummy or a prankster determined to expose them as idiots -- reported that once the American flag at Alito’s home in Virginia briefly was flown upside down. In the fevered world of the Left, this represented Justice Alito’s support of the January 6 “Insurrection.” For people with any military or historical background, an upside-down flag is a distress symbol, and Alito responded that it was his wife’s response to some incivility by neighbors. Not satisfied with this first, not terribly successful, smear of the justice, a second flag, a pine tree with the words “An appeal to God” flown at the family’s vacation home, became the get-Alito rallying point. The usual media mob, and even the once sane Bill Kristol (who years before had endorsed Alito for the court) argued this was further evidence of disqualifying bias by Alito because one person on January 6 waved such a flag. In fact, the flag is an historic one.

We should be triggering the left at every opportunity. For fun and sport.

The fevered wprld opf the eft will end...eiother by the ballot box or by the bullet box. The days of the wild Wst have already come to every majopr city in the country. The question is : “ Just how long will patriots put up with oit?”

Not much longer. If the Dems cheat their way to another four years their leaders will be continuously dodging snipers.It is about to get real, one way or another over the next few years.Our nation is unravelling with backside communism and fascism and people do not seem to know it. YET.

The violent left need to be careful. They may try to get violent with someone who has a real trigger.

“ The violent left need to be careful. They may try to get violent with someone who has a real trigger.”

The way I see it, Antifa is a standing foreign army. They wear uniforms and are organized (to an extent). I can see nothing that would stop an American from defending his homeland from such an attack by shooting them down like the dogs they are. What would we be expected to do? Call the police? 🤣 No tolerance or respect, or acquiescence to UN or Antifa. They have no legitimacy here and must be treated like an invading army.

You may have noticed they’re turning our nation into one.

You should FOIA the DOJ and FBI on their Antifa records.

Of course, you'd likely end up on a watch list and they'd likely just say we cannot disclose any information regarding an "ongoing investigation", their catch-all for sorry buddy you're not getting bupkis.

Let me know what you get. I'm rooting for you but I'm not going to do that.
