Far-Left Push Will Cost Dems

The Democrats are beyond losing their supporters. In one story published in the Wall Street Journal a man who refused to vote for Trump in 2016 has now declared he will be supporting the president in 2020. It’s something we have been hearing a lot, #walkaway. The campaign that calls on Democrats to abandon the party and join the Republicans.

In the WSJ story, the man says it’s not about Trump but about a counter punch to the absurd positions being pushed by the Democrats. It seems like 2016 is playing out again in repeat and the Democrats and media have learned nothing. Outside of the Democrats’ far left, social justice pandering, we are seeing media smear the actual popular candidates Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang.

Media is claiming that Russian bots are propping them up to try and upset the process so Kamala Harris or Joe Biden can’t win. This premise is absurd. If the Democrats don’t get their act together then they will not be able to win in 2020. Or as it was written in the New York Times “Democrats will lose the elections, and they deserve to.” More from Tim Pool.

More on the Trump Spy

On Friday, Kimberley Strassel, the investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, appeared on the Hannity Show, which was being guest hosted by former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz. She explained how she found out about the Trump spy who is considered to be both an FBI and a CIA asset and therefore considered a national security secret. Bill Still reports.

Buzzfeed Takes Slap at Styx

BuzzFeed has taken a swipe at Styxhexenhammer666, recycling a Wall Street Journal hit piece that referenced him without fact-checking it. Says Styx, “Totally false: Recommended videos are usually from priority creators, not people like me; I manage to do well despite being at a significant and opaque disadvantage. Also, rationalwiki is not a proper source for your reality.”

Styxhexenhammer Gets Swatted

Styxhexenhammer666 reacts to a nasty article blasting him. The piece came out in the Wall Street Journal and turns out it was the closing shot from a Jack Nicas, before he opens a new stint on the New York Times. Nicas is emblematic of most of the old guard media. He’s an obnoxious bully and a liar, and has never matched the audience of Styx online — hence Nicas’ vituperative efforts to undermine a smarter and more self-sufficient rival.

Says Styx, “I actually agree with the WSJ that manipulated related results are an issue, but not because it prevents lamestream content from flourishing; quite the opposite. Also, there’s nothing ‘dark’ about my content.”

Pro and Con On Milo

A true firestorm has arisen over the decision by the American Conservative Union to rescind its invitation to Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at its upcoming conference. The group said it was barring Milo  in response to a pair of video clips that surfaced Sunday. In those clips, he appears to be speaking sympathetically about sex with young boys and cracking a joke about his own sexual encounter with a Catholic priest as a child.

We’re of two minds about Milo. On the one hand, the CPAC conservatives are mostly anti-Trump globalists who are trying everything possible to bury the alt-right. They want to return to what they perceive as the good old days, when Republicans were pretty shallow replicas of Democrats, and both parties were routinely screwing the general public. Sorry, but that kind of reversal isn’t going to happen. We no longer accept the Bush family, or John McCain, or any similar politicians as our leaders. Smug, lying pinheads like Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry will never have our trust again.

That said, there’s a risk as well in accepting someone like Milo, who is sharp as a tack but appears to be so obsessed with fame and fortune that he will say anything, including making jokes and ranting about man-boy love. Yes, he grates the nerves of liberals and truly gets under their skin. But is he really advancing conservative causes or just himself?

Here, we offer two takes about Milo, so you can decide for yourself where you stand. First up, defending him is Mundane Matt, who calls him charismatic and the attacks against him slanderous.

On the opposite side of the issue is Styxhexenhammer666, who while more critical of Milo, laments his being censored by Facebook. Also gone: Laura Loomer and Paul Joseph Watson.)

And here is Milo’s own response to the issue. We’re inclined to believe him, especially considering the caliber of the low-level ‘gators chomping at his heels. They are skunks and reprobates, by and large.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: YouTube has censored and removed Milo’s response. In its absence, we present this video where he discusses his origins with Gavin McInnes.)

Meanwhile, early afternoon on Tuesday, Milo submitted his resignation at Breitbart News. The Wall Street Journal reports.

 

Weiner Could Face Child Porn

Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-New York, could reportedly face child pornography charges for allegedly sexting a 15-year-old girl. The Wall Street Journal is reporting the disgraced former lawmaker has been under investigation since last year when reports claimed he exchanged inappropriate messages and photos with the unidentified teen he met online. Sources tell the paper he could be charged with production of child pornography, which carries a 15 year sentence, among other charges.

Of course, Weiner could always offer to turn state’s evidence against Hillary Clinton in return for charges against him being lessened or dropped. Stay turned.
