The Media Wants to go Back to the Dark Ages ~ Ep. 1309 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the ongoing suppression of science in an effort to advance liberal coronavirus narratives. We are entering a troubling new era of anti-science because of the media and the left. I also address a media report showing the profound troubles with mass mail-in voting.

This was the kind of episode that Dan Bongino gives us that drives me to keep on working, and definitely, to share his videos of his shows. I was very stoked after seeing this show today (only a few days late). 

One of the main segments was about mail in voting, and what a mess that would be.  There was an experiment done by a TV station news reporter that will open you eyes as to why mail in voting could end up in chaos. To quote a youtube commenter on the video, "Vote by mail is just another way for the democrats to cheat."  Yes, it is exactly that.  Not to mention, all the court fights to overturn laws that require valid ID to vote.  Make no mistake, election fraud does take place, as Dan will provide the receipts (evidence).

And then, the unexpected occurred during the show, something most of us know about by now:  Dan announced that Herman Cain passed away.  Yes, Dan's reaction was exactly the same as mine when I found out last Thursday, July 30, that Herman had died of complications from Covid-19.  As Dan mentions, he had met Herman Cain on a trip over to Israel.  I was also lucky enough to meet Herman at a private meet-and-greet with about 30-40 other Conservative Republican folks here in my area, on April 19, 2011.  Yes, as Dan says, he was a really good guy.  He had a fantastic sense of humor.  I am sure many of you have had a lot of chances to see him on Fox News on many occasions.  Herman was a "for real" guy. There was no doubt that I wanted him to be our Republican candidate for the 2012 election.  He definitely was much better than who we ended up with to be the GOP nominee! 

It's just my opinion, but I do believe that what Herman was accused of that made him drop out of the race in December of 2011, did not happen.  We probably could guess who funded - I mean "found" - the women that accused Mr. Cain.  I think that the Obama officials knew that Herman Cain could beat Barack Obama in 2012.  Yeah.  Those guys, the ones that lied about Benghazi, spied on the Trump campaign (Spygate), along with the "Fast and Furious" operation and many other scandals.

Now, back to the show.  I had to watch a few parts again, to make sure my brain was embedded with the information I received in this episode.  There was definitely a segment that was very relative to the title of this episode, "The Media Wants to go Back to the Dark Ages." Dan had it perfectly correct.  He nailed it.  Some of us will take the time to examine the data and make our own conclusions (right or wrong). We just don't need the media to make our decisions for us. 

There is more.  Much more that you should be sure to see.  If the block about some teacher's unions not wanting to open schools back up doesn't get you... Well, it should, if you're a serious thinker.   But, in a way, I'm kind of pleased, as they are showing their true colors, regarding how much they care for the students.  No, like Dan, I know that most teachers are the greatest.  It is the unions that aren't so much.  And that will be to the detriment of teachers, possibly, because parents WILL find alternatives to educate their children, such as with homeschooling, charter schools, and private schools.  So, for the teachers, I stand with you all, but you may have to tell your unions to let you do your thing, and teach!

Please enjoy the episode!  I never know when this privilege to share Dan Bongino Show episodes with you will end.  I hope, NEVER!

The Solution to Mass Shootings, Crime, and Your Own Personal Struggles - JJ McNown - Video

I learned about JJ McNown on Twitter. His handle there is @jjmcnown. I've met a lot of pretty cool people over on Twitter. There is a ground swell of people that feel what I feel.

It isn't the proverbial "fad" like some on the left would try to tell you. It isn't a bunch of people that jumped on a bandwagon because it was the cool thing to do - at the moment. No, heck no! It is because a bunch of people found out that there were a bunch of people that felt the same way that a bunch of people felt - which was, this country is falling apart because of a certain mindset in the "political class" known as the Left...

Okay, enough of my rant. Just check these things out. I know you are busy. I know it's hard to keep up on everything, always so much to do. However, I say that with emphasis, I'm about to make my own announcement soon, on a way we can help you stay informed while being so busy with life.

Arizona in the crosshairs ~ By Tom Tancredo

Tom Tancredo writes about Obama's war on Arizona. It's all about Obama wanting open borders. With a substantial majority of Americans siding with Arizona on their immigration law (S.B. 1070), why would Obama and Eric Holder be trying to stop the Arizona law from going into affect on July 29? As Tom opines, "It is quite conceivable that President Obama has already decided to not seek a second term in 2012 and therefore can afford to ignore public opinion..." 

Of course, there is another possibility that I've been wondering about. Maybe Obama isn't planning on running in 2012 for the reason that there won't be an election, or that by the time 2012 comes along, the U.S. will already part of a "New World Order." Oh, of course, I know many of you will think that could never happen here! But then, just a few years ago, who would have ever thought a Marxist would ever become President? Just sayin'...

If the Arizona law is struck down in federal court, and if similar efforts by Arizona lawmakers aimed at protection against foreign invasion are blocked, there will be consequences that are very unpleasant. When lawful authority cannot or will not protect citizens against violence and invasion, at some point "vigilante justice" will fill the gap, and it likely will not be limited to the "observe and report" rules of engagement followed by the original Minutemen patriots of 2005.

It is quite conceivable that President Obama has already decided to not seek a second term in 2012 and therefore can afford to ignore public opinion and "do the right thing" by his own compass – not only on border security and amnesty but all across the board. The problem for the nation is that his compass is set on the goal of a socialist America within a new international socialist order where borders – and the Constitution's limits on his power – are of little consequence.

In Phoenix this past week, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton heard opening arguments in a motion to grant a preliminary injunction to block the implementation of Arizona's new law aimed at illegal immigration. The new law will take effect on July 29.

Next week the same judge will hear arguments in two other lawsuits against the Arizona law, one brought by Obama's Justice Department and the other by the ACLU and two open-borders groups.

The argument of the Obama lawsuit is that Arizona has invaded legal territory reserved exclusively for the federal government – enforcement of federal immigration law. But, oddly, the shallowness and hypocrisy of this claim was laid bare by none other than Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in a statement in Laredo, Texas, on the same day as the court hearing in Phoenix.

Napolitano announced that the Department of Homeland Security is releasing $51 million in grants to Arizona and several other states as part of Operation Stonegarden, a program began in 2006 to help local law enforcement deal with crime in border regions. Arizona will get $13.8 million, Texas $17.5 million and California $12.2 million.

Consider the significance of the fact that these federal funds are administered by Homeland Security, not the Department of Justice. The federal government – authorized by an act of Congress – is admitting local law enforcement is dramatically impacted by open borders and needs help. So, DHS now offers financial assistance to enable local law enforcement to pay overtime and purchase needed equipment such as night-vision goggles, so local police can better cope with the byproducts of federal open-borders policies.

Lost in this scramble for federal dollars is the lesson about the relationship between local crime rates and border security. When the Border Patrol in Del Rio, Texas, and Yuma, Arizona, implemented Operation Zero Tolerance and started prosecuting and putting in jail all the people apprehended crossing the border illegally – instead of the traditional practice of merely pushing them back into Mexico without any jail time – not only did border crossings drop by 70 percent, local crime in those border towns dropped dramatically.

Evidently, it is all right to spend federal dollars to help local law enforcement cope with crime created by federal open-borders policies, but it is not all right for a state to protect itself against those same criminals by enforcing federal immigration law and asking the federal government to deport persons arrested for local crime – which is what the Arizona law tries to do.

It is now clear that the Obama administration and Attorney General Holder have declared war on Arizona's attempts to protect itself from the border invasion. Obama will not protect Arizona's borders, and Holder wants to prevent Arizona from protecting itself.

Obama: Hiding himself in plain sight ~ By Joseph Farah

So, Barack Hussein Obama was on the 1000th episode of "America's Most Wanted," and it's really too bad that he wasn't one of the featured most-wanted criminals being sought after.

Shouldn't the act of purposefully dismantling the Constitution be a crime? Isn't the President sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution? Isn't that treason if he doesn't? Joseph Farah has some profound things to say about that in this column.

America's founders knew the real danger to liberty is always posed by government – first and foremost. That's why they strictly limited the power of the federal government. That's why they took the shackles off the people and placed them intentionally on the government. That's what the Constitution truly is – a profound and clear statement on the limitations of government power and a profound and clear statement on the inalienable rights of citizens.

Today we've got it all backward.

Barack Obama is everywhere.

There's no escape.

If you turn on the tube, there he is.

He's always speechifying. He's always lecturing. He's running the perpetual campaign.

If you think you can escape by turning on entertainment shows, like Fox's "America's Most Wanted," think again.

Tonight he will appear on that show's 1,000th episode to tell you and host John Walsh what a great job he and his administration are doing fighting crime in America.

Obama is not America's most wanted leader – and that's why he's saturating the airwaves with himself.

But "crime-fighter" is not the association most of us make with Obama. It's more like "job-killer." It's more like "wealth-destroyer." It's more like "crisis-creator."

Maybe you're curious about how Obama has fought crime.

Actually, he is stepping up another wholly unconstitutional approach begun during Bill Clinton's administration – co-opting with money and equipment state and local law-enforcement agencies that are supposed to be independent of federal authority and control.

He'll also discuss the impact "America's Most Wanted" has had on "thousands of victims and millions of people in its 22 years on the air."

Give us all a break!

This is not only undignified, it's overkill.

If Obama wants to fight crime, he can start by following the law himself – namely the supreme law of the land, the Constitution.

Why would Americans want to listen to the scofflaw-in-chief pride himself and his administration on crime-fighting? It literally boggles the mind.

And, make no mistake about it, that's what Obama is – from the health-care power grab to cap-and-trade, to stimulus spending to taking over part of the auto industry to the bailouts of banks – his solution to problems real and imaginary is always a grab for federal and presidential power.

This is the real crisis in America – illegal government.

The criminals are in power. Obama's not fighting crime; he's da capo dei capi – boss of all bosses.

Maybe next he'll be a guest on "The Sopranos."

Proof: More guns = less crime ~ By Joseph Farah

Commentary from WorldNetDaily

By Joseph Farah Posted: January 16, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2010 There it was. Good news on New Year's Day on the front page of the Washington Post. "Homicide totals in 2009 plummet in District, Prince George's," the headline read. In a story that likely got lost amid the holiday revelry, the paper reported that the nation's capital in 2009 experienced its lowest number of homicides in 45 years. In case you can't do the math real quick, that previous year would be 1964. And for those too young to remember, 1964 was pretty much the end of an era. It was before the riots, before the Vietnam War was seriously escalated to become a national dividing point, before the drug explosion. So what happened in Washington, D.C., in 2009 that might account for such a dramatic decline in homicide deaths? Hmmmmm. Let me see. Nothing comes to mind. Oh, wait a minute! Wasn't 2009 the first full year following the overturning of Washington's gun ban by the Supreme Court in the Heller case? Could that have something to do with it? Apparently the Washington Post newsroom didn't think so. It was not even mentioned in the New Year's Day story – not even as an afterthought. That should tell you something about the political culture and worldview in elite newsrooms of America's major metropolitan newspapers. But think about it! Once again, we have more real-life evidence of the theory so well articulated by John R. Lott in his breakthrough book, "More Guns, Less Crime." READ FULL STORY >

Phoenix Arizona Number Two City In The World For Kidnappings

By just a regular guy The accompanying video is an excellent example of how the illegal alien crisis in America is contributing to the beating our economy has been taking for years. The law enforcement resources required to deal with this crisis on a daily basis throughout this country are enormous and our politicians, from BOTH parties, do absolutely nothing about it. Phoenix is now the number two city in the WORLD for kidnappings behind only Mexico City. The Mexican drug gangs are ruthless, have military grade weapons and come and go across the border like they’re driving to the other side of town for a bowl of menudo and a Corona. I think it’s high time we do something about this crisis before what is happening in Phoenix becomes the norm all over our country. [Continue reading]

The right ideas for smart sentencing - by Karen Williams

Karen writes about prison sentencing, and what should be done to change from being "tough on crime" to being "smart on crime." Mandatory minimum sentencing can incarcerate people for too long relative to their crime and the risk of them not being in prison. Risk assessment rather than mandatory sentencing would deliver justice and safety.

Ron Paul on Gun Control

In his latest essay Ron Paul addresses the issue of gun control. When the government makes guns illegal, only criminals - and the government itself - will own firearms. The result is less freedom and less safety for everyone else, i.e. law-abiding citizens.

Your safety has always, ultimately been your own responsibility, but never more so than now. People have a natural right to defend themselves. Governments that take that away from their people should be highly suspect. [Continue reading]

Who is for Gun Control in America?

It wasn't long ago that Doug Powers wrote about the gun control in India, and how it became so easy for terrorists to gun down so many people. So, just how fast can you even dial 9-1-1? And what happens if you get voice mail when you call 9-1-1, in desperate need for emergency assistance? And will you even have time to say a prayer?
