Every single day, as if trying to out-stupid each other, some left-winger says or does something so ridiculous it sets a new standard for crazy. Whether elected or under the banner of journalism, these people seem incapable of wishing their fellow Americans or the country anything good. They are actively, either consciously or not, working against the United States for reasons ranging from incompetence to the hatred of President Donald Trump. None of the options are good, but no other conclusion can be drawn.
A week or so ago, or a lifetime ago in fake liberal outrages and isolation time, PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor was cheered as a hero by her fellow reporters for taking on President Trump at the coronavirus task force briefing over something only other liberals and left-wing reporters care about. Not because its her job, its not (it is not), but because its her calling; its all of their calling.
On Friday, Yamiche was at it again. After Surgeon General Jerome Adams made a plea to African-Americans to avoid smoking, drinking, and drugs because they are bearing a large part of the brunt of the pandemic due to a propensity to have the preexisting conditions that exacerbate the effects of the virus, Alcindor was ready to be offended.
From the briefing room, during the briefing, Yamiche took to her Twitter account to tweet that Adams says black, Latino & other people of color should 'avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs.' 'We need you to step up,' he says. Some will find this language offensive after Adams stressed that behavior was not the issue for why more black ppl are dying."
First off, a higher percentage of black people are dying from coronavirus, due to preexisting conditions. The vices SG Adams listed make that worse. Why the hell wouldnt he encourage people to quit? Does Yamiche think theyre good things?
Three minutes later, Yamiche tweeted again. Jerome Adams, U.S. Surgeon General, tells black people, Latinos and other ppl of color to avoid alcohol and drugs and adds: 'Do it for your abuela, do it for your grandaddy, do it for your Big Mama, do it for your pop pop.' Context: Many found this language highly offensive, she said.
Who were these many? How did she know and why would she care? Are journalists supposed to actively seek offense on behalf of people they assume to exist?
Minutes later, Alcindor, in a statement masquerading as a question, said, There are some people online who are already offended by that language Who were these some people? She didnt say, nor did she retweet them. If they exist, she was clearly following them.
Weirdly, someone so tuned in to social media while in the midst of a presidential press briefing, never commented on the trending topic later in the day which sprang from her question: Uncle Tom. Attacks on Adams inspired by her didnt seem to bother her, yet the Surgeon General of the United States giving advice to people that could save their lives, virus or not, did. She spent the rest of the day retweeting other liberals commenting on her stupid question. Disgusting.
Yamiche isnt the only idiot in the press corps, of course. Too many qualify for that title, but few wear it as proudly as Jim Acosta.
A White House correspondent is expected to build contacts and break stories through them, but can you name one story Acosta has broken? (Or Alcindor, for that matter?) Yet, there he sits, arguing with the president like hes running against him.
When not parroting Democratic Party talking points, Acosta is left to his own thoughts, proving the old adage that you shouldnt work without tools. We hear from a lot of people who see these briefings as sort of happy talk briefings, he said to the President Friday and was rightly chewed out for it.
You have to look at these people and wonder what the hell is wrong with them. Thousands of people are hospitalized, dying, the economy is in ruins, and theyre playing these stupid games like its just another day. Can they really be this dumb? Or do they value their politics over human lives and the well being of this country?
The answer is yes, to either question.
Democratic incompetence cost lives in New York City, actively encouraging people to ride public transportation, attend parades, and patronize restaurants in the middle of a pandemic to show up the president. Democratic incompetence has people arrested for being alone in the ocean in California and banned the sale of vegetable seeds and car seats for babies in Michigan. Democratic incompetence has people attending drive-in church services harassed by law enforcement across the country. None of this registers with these journalistic drones. Its Orange Man Bad or nothing.
So when you ask yourself what the hell is wrong with these people, deep down we already know. To progressives, individuals have always been disposable, whether its one, several thousand, or 100 million like in the last century. They likely dont even recognize it in themselves anymore, but we cant lose sight of it. Because if this is how they behave out of power, imagine what theyd do with it.
Orwell’s Two Minutes Hate has morphed into the MSM’s 24x7 Hate. Collectivism must destroy what is to achieve Utopia. It doesn’t matter if one Acosta gets smacked down, just send in the next one. If each one can make just a tiny chip in the wall of Western Civilization, it’s only a matter of time..
When President Trump mentions people, sometimes by name, who have recovered from COVID using hydroxychloroquine, they say its just anecdotal. Then they turn around and say we are hearing from many people (some BS accusation) ... all anonymous of course, and suddenly just being anecdotal is fine.
Not to worry, there isn't anything that could convince Acosta of that. He's truly that dense.
Someone else will have to remove him from his position, which is probably why Trump allows him to stay.
DemocRATS are leftist fanatics obsessed with tearing down capitalist western society in order to build their Marxist utopia. They ignore (or are ignorant) of the fact that all previous attempts at building such a utopia has resulted in untold human misery, poverty and the deaths of perhaps a hundred MILLION people. You would think that such a track record would deter them from such a path, but they think they are smarter and better than the people who tried this before. To those of us who resist them it is obviously NOT the case. They are authoritarians, full of hatred, intolerance, and will obviously stop at nothing to further their agenda. Given the opportunity they will undoubtedly kill anyone who opposes them. Its just a matter of time.
Have to weigh in here (see screen name)
Cant talk about behaviors that would reduce the impact of AIDS either...
“””Oklahoma Kevin Stitt is Republican.”””
You are correct. Oklahoma is one of the four Rep
publican states that are in the top 20 states and DC in terms of deaths per million people.
The other 3 Republican led states that are in the top 20 are Indiana, Georgia, and Mississippi.
The point is that 75% of the 20 states and DC that have the most deaths per capita are led by DEMOCRATS.
Why are the Democrat led states having such a problem?
I apologise. I turned off spell check following some rather nasty exchanges....
Have a great Easter!
