The liberal elite moaned and groaned and whined and whinnied.
The New York Times changed its headline.
If you were looking for proof — real, solid proof — that the once-great New York Times takes its marching orders from the liberal elite in the Democratic Party, look no further.
After two mass shootings within hours left 32 dead and 52 wounded, President Trump delivered a somber statement from the White House on Monday. He laid out several avenues as potential solutions, called for unity and bipartisanship, soothed Americans as the comforter-in-chief and loudly denounced racism and white supremacy.
“Together, we lock arms to shoulder the grief, we ask God in Heaven to ease the anguish of those who suffer, and we vow to act with urgent resolve,” he said.
“In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America,” he said.
“Now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside — so destructive — and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion, and love,” he said.
The New York Times captured the essence of the president’s speech with a headline for its first print edition that read: “TRUMP URGES UNITY VS. RACISM.” The headline carried no bias for either Left or Right, simply summing up the expansive message Trump had delivered.
But the Left went nuts — absolutely nuts. How dare The Times not bash Trump as a racist?!
So (are you sitting down?) the New York Times CHANGED ITS HEADLINE.
“The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country,” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday. “Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years.”
The president spoke after a right-wing extremist was revealed as the alleged perpetrator behind the shooting in Texas that killed 20 and a left-wing extremist killed 10 in Ohio.
Trump responded to the news featuring dozens of 2020 Democrats blaming the shootings on the president, accusing him of stoking white nationalism, hatred, and violence in the country.
Also, what intellectual dishonesty to blame him for these shootings while not applying the same standard to President Obama with all the shootings that happened during his presidency. It’s nothing but standing on the graves of the dead to score cheap political points. It isn’t about honesty or accountability, and it certainly isn’t about the victims. How pathetic.
Removing statues of old Democrat racists requires swift action. Helping minorities in your city … meh.
Now that President Trump has “attacked” Baltimore because he’s a racist, we’ve been looking back through our archives, and Kimberly Klacik, the woman whose videos of trash- and rat-infested Baltimore made it to Fox News and President Trump’s eyes, reminds us of something we forgot — when the edict came down that Confederate statues were causing people pain, Baltimore removed them all — literally overnight.
.@MayorPugh50 says crews worked from 11:30 pm to 5:30 am removing Baltimore's Confederate monuments. "We moved as quickly as we could."
Just a reminder… over night, Baltimore City had confederate statues removed. It's been 72 hours & all the trash and rats are still sitting there. They can't solve the violence, clearly, but I want to believe they are capable of taking out the trash. I hope voters are watching.
Make no mistake, she endorsed violence again Senator Paul.
The whole thing got started when Rand Paul publicly offered to pay to send the “ungrateful” Omar back to her native Somalia so she could learn to appreciate the United States. Paul’s comment were unquestionably stupid and offensive, but in patented Squad fashion, Omar responded by upping the stupid factor and retweeting a tweet from Resistance Twitterererer and former actor Tom Arnold.
For those who don’t recall, Paul was hospitalized in 2017 after being attacked from behind by a disgruntled neighbor. The senator suffered six broken ribs and suffered lung damage which later led to a bout of pneumonia that effectively sidelined him from his congressional duties. His attacker was sentenced his 30 days in prison, and was ordered by a jury to pay Paul $500,000 for the substantial physical and emotional trauma. Hilarious!
A key part of Omar’s political narrative revolves around the threats of physical violence she’s faced, and in particular how her critics are responsible for those threats. When Republican Texas Rep. David Crenshaw accused Omar of minimizing the 9/11 attacks with her much-parsed “some people did something” comments, that was “dangerous incitement” according to her. When Trump cut a video attacking the same remarks and splicing in 9/11 footage, other Democrats picked up the slack; presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) said he was “inciting violence.” Her primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., VT) called it “dangerous.” Not to be outdone, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D., NY) compared Omar to Holocaust victims and said “[Ilhan’s] life is in danger.”
Omar can’t have it both ways. You can’t insist that the merely harsh, unfair, bigoted, etc. criticism you face is “incitement to violence,” but then give your stamp of approval to comments that actually make direct reference to and delight in violence against your enemies. For the hypocrisy angle alone, Omar’s comments were newsworthy.
I expected muted mainstream media coverage of Omar’s retweet. What I didn’t expect was almost literally zero coverage. Per a Google search, outside of explicitly conservative and libertarian outlets, the Omar retweet was covered by Mediaite (which features both conservative and liberal writers), Newsweek (formerly a mainstream media outlet, now more of a bankrupt clickbait factory), and as I was writing this piece, by Paul’s hometown paper, the Louisville Courier Journal. That’s it. The mainstream media seems to have deigned that one member of Congress laughing it up about another being assaulted and hospitalized is neither newsworthy nor controversial!
On Wednesday, Project Veritas released a video interview of a Google senior software engineer coming forward to sound the alarm over the impact of political bias at the search engine giant. Within a few hours, Google placed the engineer on administrative leave.
“Greg Coppola, the senior Google engineer who spoke to Project Veritas in an on-the-record interview about alleged bias in Google News and Google Search, has been placed on administrative leave,” Project Veritas reported Thursday in an update on the Coppola interview. In response to the apparent retaliatory action, Coppola has created a GoFundMe account with the goal of raising $16,000 in the expectation that he “will probably be fired” for “expressing concern that big tech is taking sides in elections.”
As The Daily Wire reported Wednesday, Coppola, a senior software engineer in the Google Assistant division, agreed to go on the record with conservative organization Project Veritas to warn against the political bias he says is built into Google’s algorithms. In a statement to The Daily Wire, Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe described the moment as more evidence that “the dam has broken” on the issue of Big Tech bias.
Newsbusters reports that if Coppola is indeed fired, as he expects to be, “he will be the third public victim of Google’s inherent bias toward conservative engineers.”
As previously covered by The Daily Wire, transgender LGBT activist Jessica Yaniv has filed a total of 16 complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal against female estheticians who do not wish to wash Yaniv’s male genitalia. Yaniv claimed the women were discriminating based on “gender identity” and is seeking financial restitution. Earlier this week, one of the targeted women said she was forced to close her small business due to the complaint from Yaniv.
While conservatives, liberals, and even some feminists have called foul over Yaniv’s attempt to essentially force women into providing a service on his male genitalia, a service the salons do not provide (male and female bikini waxing are not the same), the trans activist has been making the media rounds boasting about his activism.
On Tuesday, for example, Yaniv joined Irish broadcaster Niall Boylan on “The Niall Boylan Show” to discuss the filed complaints. But after the host pressed the activist as to why the female estheticians’ rights are trumped by his, Yaniv abruptly ended the interview.
Showcasing the coercion from Yaniv, Boylan laid out an example about his disbelief in God.
“Now, you believe in God; I respect the fact that you believe in God. And I respect your point of view and I respect your belief and your faith in God. That doesn’t mean I have to believe in God. Do you understand the point?” he asked.
“I do,” answered Yaniv.
“Some people may respect you, and may respect that you want to be called Jessica, but they just don’t believe it,” the host said. “I’ll call him Jessica, I’ll respect that, but I don’t believe it and I don’t buy into it.”
Jessica Yaniv was interviewed by Irish broadcaster Niall Boylan on the "wax my balls" human rights case. Yaniv told Boylan that women have no right to reject a trans person's demands to touch their scrotum. Yaniv hung up mid-interview. pic.twitter.com/5dbmz3vfEh
