OPINION:
A communist will soon be taking over the top executive spot for the nation’s most iconic city — and not just any communist, but a radical Muslim communist with open antisemitic leanings — and not just any city, but the city that was torn apart by the toppling of its Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001. And in Virginia, in New Jersey, it’s more of the same — Democrats, which is to really say socialists, which is to really say communists, won the top gubernatorial spots.
Meanwhile, Proposition 50 passed in California, giving Democrats a better-than-your-average-bear chance of redrawing districts in a way that strips Republicans of the teeny, weeny, tiny five-seat congressional power they have managed to hold in the Golden State. ‘Cause nothing says tolerance like a total, top-down control of the electoral process. Right, Gov. Gavin Newsom?
A quick-hit look at the wake of the election results might suggest Democrats have the winning message and that voters are tired of the MAGA movement, and as such, Americans pulled the poll levers for the left. But this isn’t exactly what occurred.
Really, the fact that Democrats — that is to say, socialists, and that is really actually, truly, more to truth say, communists — have any wins at all is due to three causes: 1) the flood of illegal immigrants; 2) the dumbing of America’s youth; and 3) the media.
On the first: Democrats have gleefully opened borders for years, nay, decades, as a means of ushering in the next batch of faithful followers, err, sheep, who will, by their presence, tilt Census Bureau census findings to apportion more representatives in left-leaning states. If they can vote illegally in elections along the way to the next census count, all the better, say Democrats.
On the second: Today’s youth have been steadily taught to dislike America, detest capitalism, distance themselves from God and to blame America for all the world’s ills; fault America’s founders for giving us a racist Constitution; and slam America’s conservative politicians as discriminatory and unjust for insisting on a government that stays limited in scope, i.e., that doesn’t use tax dollars to provide for the people, cradle to grave. The public schools have taught this for decades. The colleges and universities have harped on this for decades. What’s resulted is a class of Americans who see nothing wrong with voting for a communist — who in fact characterize communists as good American patriots.
On the third: It’s the media, stupid. This is where the true evil genius of the evil ones of the left shines. For far too long, members of the media have skated accountability for errors, all the while skirting long-held standards of serving as the truth-bearers for the American people. They’ve only watchdogged when watchdogging can take down a MAGA. They’ve only tried to dig at truths when it involves an accusation slung a Republican’s way. Hunter Biden and the laptop? Ignore. Censor. Donald Trump and collusion with Russia? Build up and boy, oh, boy, don’t let it drift from the public consciousness. Use a pee tape if you must — find some prostitutes if you can — but whatever the deal, whatever the dirt, dig and dig and dig and don’t stop digging. It’s that old adage, repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth.
BBC’s top executives just learned a lesson about lying to the public when two of them, the director-general, Tim Davie, and the CEO of news, Deborah Turness, resigned in disgrace after they were outed for allowing into an aired documentary some creative edits that seemed to show President Trump telling supporters to violently storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Here’s the thing, though.
They were only feeling the disgrace because they were caught in their lie.
They weren’t feeling the disgrace because of their actual despicable lie.
And this is how the media have operated for a very long time: Lie, lie until the lies become truths, and if any lies are actually outed as lies — well then, roll whatever heads necessary to smooth things over and move on to the next lie.
If it weren’t for the lies of the media, Zohran Mamdani’s win as New York City mayor wouldn’t have happened because members of the media would have told the truths about communism and anti-semitism and his ties to radical Islamic clerics. If it weren’t for the lies of the media, Democrats wouldn’t have swept through Virginia and taken New Jersey and won on Proposition 50 because voters would have been aware of how damaging — how radical — how anti-America all these candidates and proposals and ideas of the left are to the country. Voters, if voters were properly enlightened by a truthful press, would never vote Democrat, that is to really say, socialist, that is really to say, communist, again.
It’s the media, stupid.
It’s the propaganda passed off as news, combined with the dumbing down of the voting class.
Without their coddling, fawning friends in the media, Democrats would disappear from political power.
