Legal lying that powers today’s lamestream.  The lamestream has been exposed for its lies, misinformation, fake news, and defamations in general.  As a result, its shrinking audiences are made up of the most dedicated and/or ignorant leftists in the land, augmented by some residual uninformed mid-roaders.  Their legal underpinnings to carry on with this atrocious so-called journalism is provided by today’s defamation, libel, and slander laws which have been purposely degraded by leftwing lawyers and politicians in order to continue delivering their substance-free narrative to the hoi polloi.  This may be coming to an end if Justices Thomas and Gorsuch have their way, and get SCOTUS to rule on a case that would finally mandate Congress to pass a strict and clear law which demarks ‘public figures’ and ‘private individuals’ as targets of purposed and publicized sleaze.  (more here)

Biden’s open border policy makes him guilty of killing thousands of illegal aliens as they attempt to gain entry and disappear into our hinterlands.  Open border invites hundreds of thousands of economic migrants to start their long journeys from all over the world to our southern border.  It is an easy argument to make that many more of these people die from divers causes and are killed en route than the alien deaths counted only on our side of the southern border.  Mexican President Obrador blames the US for the deaths because we don’t control our border.  Of course, he omits the fact that Mexico has facilitated the transit of these millions of migrants over the decades.  As a terminally corrupt and criminal country, Mexico’s economy does not generate the jobs needed to sustain employment at levels required by its formerly high birth rate.  (Things have gotten so bad that the country’s birth rate has plunged in recent years.)  So first and foremost, the hordes of illegal aliens entering the US still consist mostly of Mexicans.  Their government abets this exodus for obvious reasons – relieves population pressures on the economy and increases the inflow of foreign capital.  And our anti-American Bumblebrain has elevated this game of import vote buying to a whole new level with his and his shills' daily declarations that our border is "secure" and "closed" while millions pour in.

[4jul22  update]  ‘71% of Voters Don’t Want Biden in 2024’ according to the just out Harvard CAPS – Harris Poll.  Them that follow these things should get another view from all those reports of Biden doing well and Trump doing badly.  It seems the reasons Americans don’t like Bumblebrain are all over the map; nobody has anything good to say about him, including the Democratic leadership.  My own assessment is that history will judge him to be hands-down the worst president since the Gilded Age, and the best thing that has happened to Jimmy Carter’s legacy.  Trump isn’t even in the running in this competition – if they had a ‘Shoot from the Lip’ category, the Orange Man would be right in there.  (more here)

[5jul22 update]  Putin’s view of Russia’s geo-strategic position, its goals of resurgence, and the forces arrayed against it are revealed in a blockbuster Russian TV series that launched in 2014 and has run now for 3 seasons containing a total of 40 episodes (more here)  The documentary soap opera has won numerous awards in the Russian Federation, and was released to Amazon Prime in 2017.  Widely read columnist and academic Walter Russel Meade writes a revealing column (here) (here) in the 5jul22 WSJ making the case that the series provides an important insight into the mind of Putin and his enlarged aspiration for Russia.  Since its enormous popularity with the Russian TV viewership, Mead argues that it also explains away Putin’s continued popularity with the Russians and their stoic acceptance of the historical hardships Russians have had to suffer under many rulers who sought to ‘make Russia great again’.  ‘Ekaterina: The Rise of Catherine the Great’ is definitely on the Rebane family viewing list.  And Mead’s message sums to, “To grasp the Russian president’s worldview, just binge-watch ‘Catherine the Great.’”

Great example of ‘Legal lying that powers today’s lamestream’

THE OMAR OMERTÀ
A huge Somali audience booed Ilhan Omar when she took the stage at Suldaan Seeraar’s Target Center concert in downtown Minneapolis this past Saturday evening. She was unable to get in a word edgewise. What gives? Surely there is an interesting story there.

We posted the video here first thing Sunday morning. The video went viral on Twitter. We followed up here in the post reporting that Omar left town for London on Sunday evening. When it comes to Omar, the theme should be Scorn on the Fourth of July.

The story of Omar’s humiliating treatment by the Somali crowd at Target Center was covered by the New York Post, by FOX News, by Newsweek, by Sky News Australia, by the Washington Times, and by the Daily Mail, among other outlets.

The news has traveled around the world without making its way into the Star Tribune, Omar’s hometown newspaper and the dominant media player in the state. The Star Tribune seems to take its cue from Omar’s enforcer — the thug whose thumbnail photo is the avatar for our coverage of Omar. His name is Guhaad Hashi. Lifted from a photo on his old Facebook page, Hashi’s s image instructs Somalis to keep quiet about Omar. Indeed, that’s how I first heard about him in the course of my initial reporting on Omar’s marriage to her brother nearly six years ago.

Hashi even turned up in David Farenthold’s New York Times story on the Twin Cities massive free lunch fraud. Fahrenthold didn’t know anything about his background, but he found Hashi’s place in the free lunch fraud. With a little help from one of my Somali friends, we posted Hashi’s mug shot here in 2019. By contrast, the Star Tribune has yet to get around to Hashi.

My point, and I do have one, is this. The Star Tribune sits in the heart of the district represented by Omar in Congress, yet readers who get their news about Omar from the Star Tribune are among the most poorly informed in the country. The Star Tribune’s last story on Omar is dated June 30. It reports that “At north Minneapolis town hall, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar praises new gun safety law, decries Roe’s demise.” There you have it. That’s what I’m saying.

ABOUT THAT 10-YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM

“The alacrity with which this uncorroborated story, pushed out by an abortionist and left-wing media hound, has been uncritically adopted by news outlets around the world–as far as one can tell, without doing any investigation at all–illustrates what is wrong with today’s liberal media landscape: 5% facts, 95% narrative. If the story turns out to be true, it will be purely coincidental.”
