3 Examples of Media Ignoring Joe Biden's Call for 'Unity' - Louder With Crowder

3 Examples of Media Ignoring Joe Biden's Call for 'Unity' - Louder With Crowder: 

Joe Biden isn't my first new administration. "Unity" is a Latin word meaning "shut up and support the progressive agenda." At least it seems like it when you see how the left employs the word. Which, a) no; b) as far as policies and executive orders, that's what people didn't realize they voted for. In that regard, sit back and laugh as people discover the words "unintended consequences." Treating everyone who disagrees with that agenda as an enemy combatant in a "Domestic War on Terrorism" is something everyone slightly to the right of Rep. AOC should have a vocal problem with.

Now, the other goons have media "cover"-----Biden Administration Tear-Gassed 'Peaceful Protesters' Just Hours After Inauguration

Biden Administration Tear-Gassed 'Peaceful Protesters' Just Hours After Inauguration

"A Democratic Party headquarters was damaged, an American flag burned, and marchers filled the streets in Portland, Ore., on Wednesday, following Joe Biden’s inauguration. Antifa was reportedly behind the activities, known during the summer as “peaceful protests.”

The New York Times reported that “federal agents in camouflage — now working under the Biden administration — blanketed streets with tear gas and unleashed volleys of welt-inducing pepper balls as they confronted a crowd that gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building near downtown.”...

There was a huge amount of outrage last summer after President Trump was accused of having “peaceful protesters” tear-gassed without provocation to clear the area so he could “get his photo op” at the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church, which had been burned in the riots the night before.

 The United States Park Police (USPP) denied this allegation and the claim that the D.C. protesters were peaceful was also completely false. Over the course of four days, protesters, armed with baseball bats, metal poles, and glass bottles for projectiles, vandalized property and injured 51 USPP officers.

So, where is the outrage over the Biden administration using actual tear gas (according to the New York Times) to break up “peaceful protesters”? They are peaceful, are they not? I mean, that’s what we were told about this behavior all summer. CNN and MSNBC, for example, specifically avoided calling the BLM riots “riots.”

MSNBC reporter Ali Velshi even called the riots “mostly peaceful” as he stood amongst rampant violence in front of a burning building...Read all.

President Biden's 17 Executive Orders in Detail - The New York Times

The president is also moving to continue a pause on federal student loan interest and principal payments through the end of September...Read all!

"...how the progressive left fictionalizes their heroes by rewriting their history and changing their legacy into something completely unrecognizable as the truth..."

Facebook--Michael Smith
"Hearing the Biden had replaced the bust of Winston Churchill with one of Caesar Chavez reminded me of how the progressive left fictionalizes their heroes by rewriting their history and changing their legacy into something completely unrecognizable as the truth.
And these are the propagandists who are demanding conservatives sign a loyalty oath and only communicate in their Newspeak.
Here are a few examples:

• Fictionalized Caesar Chavez: Hero of immigrants, champion of People of Color. Real Caesar Chavez: Violent anti-illegal immigration opponent who organized a defense of the southern border, beating Mexican illegals with chains to turn them back, champion of labor unions and communist.
• Fictionalized Che Guevara: Freedom fighter, beloved man of the people. Real Che Guevara: State sanctioned serial killer, feared and hated by the people. 
• Fictionalized Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn: peace activist, naturalist and warrior for the environment. Real Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn: Insane murderer who killed his ex-girlfriend and composted her in a trunk, jumped bail and went on the run for 23 years, and when captured, claimed she had been killed by CIA agents who framed him for the crime because he knew too much about the agency’s paranormal military research.

"U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, is a co-sponsor of legislation aimed at investigating terrorism threats and preventing white supremacists from infiltrating law enforcement agencies.

The bill would create new domestic terrorism units in the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and FBI to monitor terror groups and prosecute those involved in illegal activity. 

It would also require biannual reports on terror incidents, the threat posed by white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and an assessment of how extremist groups are infiltrating law enforcement agencies and armed services...Read all.

Trump’s Top-10 Triumphs: A Last Look At A Remarkable Presidency

Trump’s Top-10 Triumphs: A Last Look At A Remarkable Presidency--I&I Editorial
"...But before we let Trump go, we thought we’d review some of his biggest accomplishments while in office.
We call them “triumphs,” because they were all big achievements executed against great odds.
More than any other president of recent memory, Trump fought hard for average working Americans. And contrary to the epithets thrown at him by his far-left detractors in the Democratic Party, his policies helped low-income and minority Americans most of all.

...Given the at-times unhinged nature of the criticism directed at Trump’s presidency by the left and Republican “never-Trumpers,” Trump’s performance in just four years was nothing short of remarkable. 

He promulgated dozens, if not hundreds, of successful policies that other presidents talked about, but never secured.
He reached so many we can’t highlight all of them. 

But here are 10 that we believe stand out — and that future presidents (are you listening, Joe Biden?) would be foolish to reverse or overturn:

1. 1. Slashed taxes on individuals and businesses...
3. 2. Forged peace in the Mideast...
5. 3. Created Operation Warp Speed...
7. 4. Deregulated the nation’s economy...Read all!

The left uses Capitol invasion as Nazis used the Reichstag fire

The left uses Capitol invasion as Nazis used the Reichstag fire: 

On Feb. 27, 1933, exactly one month after the Nazis came to power, the German parliament building, the Reichstag, was set ablaze. The Nazis blamed the fire on their archenemy, the Communists, and used the fire to essentially extinguish the Communist Party and its ability to publish, speak or otherwise spread its message. Using the Reichstag fire as an excuse, the Nazis passed the Enabling Act, a law that gave the Nazi chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the power to pass laws by decree – without the Reichstag.

Biden Scam Alert!---Report: Biden Calls on DOJ to Resume Obama-Era Payouts to Leftist Orgs

Report: Biden Calls on DOJ to Resume Obama-Era Payouts to Leftist Orgs

"President Joe Biden is looking to the Justice Department to reinstate a controversial Obama-era practice that allowed prosecutors to make settlement agreements where defendants paid outside groups instead of the government or victims, according to a report.

The Trump administration stopped these payments in 2017, as outlined in a Justice Department manual that initially came from a memo from former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“When the federal government settles a case against a corporate wrongdoer, any settlement funds should go first to the victims and then to the American people — not to bankroll third-party special interest groups or the political friends of whoever is in power,” Sessions said in 2017.

In 2017, Congress took aim at the “slush fund,” which incentivized corporate payments to left-wing groups such as La Raza...Read all.
