Wash Post telling of Trump call with Georgia Sec-State shows what rats they are

Would you believe Wash Post if it told you the time? Name change in order. No, not the Washington part, though many of the Woke would like it, to go by their cleansing routine, but Post all alone, which should be Post-Democrat.

Those guys are really rats.

After first saying they wouldn’t, the Washington Post released the full recording and transcript of President Trump’s conference call with Georgia secretary of state Raffensperger. What is clear is that the Washington Post selectively edited their initial release and gave it a misleading headline, “‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’: In extraordinary hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the vote in his favor.”

WAPO claimed . . .

.  . . that in his talk with Raffensperger, Trump “repeatedly urged him to alter the outcome of the presidential vote in the state.” The WAPO lied. When you read the full transcript below what becomes obvious is that Trump was not asking Raffensberger to cheat or commit voter fraud.

The President made his case that there was voter fraud in Georgia The transcript/full audio shows Trump demanding…

Trump supports [sic] pressure Marco Rubio to defy election results | Miami Herald

Miami Herald should be ashamed of itself. For its sloppiness, if for nothing else. (Alas, they have no shame.)

After longtime Trump ally and recent pardon recipient Roger Stone shared false claims of election fraud over the phone, Cubans4Trump co-founder Ariel Martinez addressed the crowd.

False? This is so sloppy. “False claims” makes another story, completely. You don’t toss it in there if you’re thinking beyond the newsroom. He “shared” (another weakling expression) claims (already distancing yourself from what he said) would do it without this unexplained editorializing “false.”

Don’t these reporters and editors go to school? As a onetime practitioner of the trade — and briefly a teacher of same — I am touched to the quick. Wounded. Offended. I’m become a snowflake ready to cancel someone or some thing somewhere somehow . . .

The Year in which Comforting Myths Were Ravaged

Our tale of woe.

Thanks in large part to Covid lockdowns, this year has left vast wreckage in its wake, with ten million jobs lost, more than 100,000 businesses and dozens of national chains bankrupted or closed. Up to 40 million people could face eviction in the coming months for failing to pay rent, and Americans report that their mental health is at record low levels. But the casualty list for 2020 must also include many of the political myths that shape Americans’ lives.

Perhaps the biggest myth to die this year was that Americans’ constitutional rights are safeguarded by the Bill of Rights. After the Covid-19 pandemic began, governors in state after state effectively placed scores of millions of citizens under house arrest – dictates that former Attorney General Bill Barr aptly compared to “the greatest intrusion on civil liberties” since the end of slavery.

Politicians and government officials merely had to issue decrees, which were endlessly amended, in order to destroy citizens’ freedom of movement, freedom of association, and freedom of choice in daily life. Los Angeles earlier this month banned almost all walking and bicycling in the city, ordering four million people to “to remain in their homes” in a futile effort to banish a virus.

Futile indeed, if one is to believe drumbeat news stories, one after another, fueling the panic.

And the hell of it is, nothing has worked, but lockdowns go on and on and on . . .

Where Did Covid Come From?

Questions, the inquiring mind (rather, its owner) has questions.

The focus of the worldwide public’s attention on masks, lockdowns, infection rates, and vaccines serves to prevent any investigation of Covid’s origin. Did a disease of bats or some other creature mutate so that humans became susceptible?

If so, why was research on how to make pathogens more infectious going on at the University of North Carolina and allegedly at a US military lab and then transferred to Wuhan where it was financed by Fauci at N.I.H.?

Is the justification for this research—to prepare for a pandemic—a cover for covert bioweapons development? If so, why was Washington working with China on . . . ???

Well golly, hasn’t your local paper gone over this stuff ad nauseam? It hasn’t? Well golly, that’s a shame . . .
