The Media and the Left is Missing This, Again ~ Ep. 1378 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode in his Show Notes (a.k.a. Newsletter!):

In this episode, I discuss this disastrous Joe Biden television interview and the fallout afterwards. I also address the massive political realignment happening as a result of the Trump presidency.

Dan: "This will be the single greatest political story ever told."  Dan's conclusion in this episode is one of the greatest I've ever heard in my lifetime.  Donald J. Trump, the businessman from Queens, never ran for an elected office, goes into politics to run for office for the first time, in 2016, for the office of The President of the United States!  Everybody that liked him as the guy he was, disqualifies him as the guy he wants to become.  He proved them wrong in 2016.  In this episode, Dan will tell you how and why President Donald J. Trump proved them wrong in 2016, and how and why he will again prove them wrong in 2020.  Can he Make America Great Again, AGAIN? In my humble opinion, backed up by Dan in this episode, the answer is YES!

Dan just totally eviscerates the creditability of the CBS News so-called "journalist," Nora O'Donnell, on "60 Minutes" at the beginning of this episode.  As Dan explains, Nora asks Joe Biden about the Hunter Biden laptop, mentioning that it is alleged that it is his.  Umm, Nora, it isn't alleged any more, it IS Hunter Biden's laptop, and it is NOT Russian disinformation.  Hat tip to Dan for pointing that out!  So, where was her follow up question?  Cut out from this episode?  Umm, no. Crickets.

You will probably be watching this episode with your jaw dropping to the ground, as there are so many signs that point to a Trump 2020 victory; but he also makes the point that we have to get out to vote, even before November 3, where possible, and get not just one, or ten, but as many people as possible, to also go vote.  Just do not assume your votes won't be needed!

Here is one more hat tip, this time for the New York Post (not exactly a tabloid, for heaven's sake!):

I think that you needed to see that!

I know, Dan Bongino would prefer that I embed the Rumble.com video here. However, I'm a little nervous when it comes to using Rumble's java script embedding code in my blogs, so that is why I'm still using the YouTube embedded video of the episode so you can see it here on this page. That being said, here is the link to the video of this episode so that you can watch it on Rumble.com.

A lesson from 'Casey the Punisher' ~ By Phil Elmore

Don't kid yourself that incidents like these can't or don't happen in the United States every day. "Casey the Punisher" became "Casey the Punished" simply because he refused to lie down and be beaten. His school sees him and his assailant as morally equivalent. Leftist ideologues are no different where your own right to self-defense, from childhood to adult, is concerned. The platform that such people are building, board by ideological board beneath our children, is the gallows on which the formerly free will be hanged as adults. When we refuse to acknowledge the moral right to self-defense, we join hands with the hangman.

Casey Heynes isn't simply a young boy who was bullied and fought back. He's a warning. If such injustices are not challenged for our children, we will never stand up for our rights as adults. We simply won't know how.

Oh, for sure, I can always count on Phil Elmore to write a greatly relevant column that intrigue me. Of course, many of the great opinion columnists that I read on a regular basis always find current issues that are worthy of extensive commentary. Phil, however, always has the unique ability to find subjects to expound on, issues that may not have made the front page or opinion pages of mainstream media, and probably may not have been exposed by Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh (yet). And yet, what Phil writes is usually an amazing reflection on issues that have ended up being the actual catalyst of many of the current crises.

This column is as excellent sample of showing us something that goes on now that will end up having terrible consequences for America down the road. In other words, as you are putting together the big picture of the puzzle, Phil provides the piece of the puzzle that you may not come across the adjacent pieces that connect everything together for quite a while.

Let me ask: Can you imagine an America where victims, or potential victims, don't have the right to defend themselves, their families, or even a stranger, much less, their own property? Or, let me ask it this way: Do you have a problem with how "Casey the Punisher" handled the tormentor? Was it because "excessive force" was used? Well, as you read Phil's great column, keep that question in mind. Claims of "excessive force" is usually the liberals' reasoning for persecuting the "victim" of an assault on life or property, which is exactly why I was able to quickly come up with the title for the video above when I posted it a few days ago: "Bully for the Victim" (pun intended). And yet, it seems to fit the subject of Phil's column. I'm just sayin'...

His name is Casey Heynes. Thanks to pervasive technology like the video sharing site YouTube, Casey, at just 16 years old, is now famous.

Nicknamed "Casey the Punisher" by those who've viewed the viral video depicting him body-slamming a smaller tormentor, the young Australian has become a meme – the sort of online personality whose image is used and reused in humorous homages, parodies and even a video game. The bully, one Ritchard Gale, isn't sorry and somehow manages to blame Casey for bringing Ritchard's bullying on himself. A website named for Casey terms him, instead, "a gentle giant who had enough," and even suggests nominating him for the Australian Cross of Valour. The story has made television and Casey's 15 minutes of Internet celebrity is upon him, for good or for ill.

The video was shared quickly and eagerly because it touches a raw nerve in our increasingly coarse society. We crave justice because it is so often denied us. We cheer when we see bullies beaten down, because we yearn for the right to defend ourselves. Paradoxically, we as modern people have become increasingly passive, ever more willing to sit and absorb abuse from those around us, as we become – collectively – ever more obnoxious. The result is an unjust world in which those who abuse us, infringe on our natural rights and lower the quality of our day-to-day lives cannot be confronted or punished lest we, the victims, be punished by our byzantine legal system.

Any man, no matter how well-armed, no matter how big, no matter how strong, and no matter how well trained, has experienced the helplessness that is having the soul of a warrior in a politically correct environment. Talk to a man whose wife or girlfriend has been threatened by an ex or a stalker, for example: Such a man will describe to you how incredibly frustrating it is to know that he possesses the skill and the means to defend his loved one, but he can't do anything or he'll go to prison. The most extreme scenario of which I'm aware is that of John Foreman, who vowed to kill the cannibal monster who murdered and ate Foreman's son, Jason. He was unambiguous, too. News reports quote him as saying, "I do intend, if this man is released anywhere in my vicinity, or if I can find him after the fact, I do intend to kill this man."

I know of no sane world in which John Foreman would be convicted of a crime for slaying the inhuman filth who killed Foreman's son and consumed parts of the boy's corpse. I know of no sane world in which such a creature as Michael Woodmansee, the murderer, would ever breathe air not filtered through the dank walls of a prison. But we don't live in a sane world. We live in an irrational, self-destructive world corrupted by the fascism of the "liberals," in whose moral relativism and false moral equivalency all aggressors are equated with their victims. The socio-politics of political correctness erase the distinction between unjust, initiated force and morally justified retaliatory (or credibly preemptive) force.

Like a condom, 1st Amendment can't always protect you ~ By Ann Coulter

I hope I won't get sued by Ann Coulter for excerpting several parts of her column. After all, she is an attorney. (Oh, wait, maybe I could claim that I am a journalist...) But anyway, Ann's column has so much good information in it, sharing it with you will hopefully provide some understanding as to what can be done about Julian Assange, (that is, if Eric Holder ever gets off his hind end), and why the 1st Amendment really is a non-issue in this case. Ann will explain why that is, and why being a "journalist" doesn't give a person immunity from the laws of the land.

First of all, I feel so much more confident that the TSA's nude photos of airline passengers will never be released now that I know the government couldn't even prevent half a million classified national security documents from being posted on WikiLeaks.

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder will be getting around to WikiLeaks' proprietor, Julian Assange, just as soon as they figure out which law the New Black Panthers might have violated by standing outside a polling place with billy clubs.

These legal eagles are either giving the press a lot of disinformation about the WikiLeaks investigation or they are a couple Elmer Fudds who can't find their own butts without a map.

Since Holder apparently wasn't watching Fox News a few weeks ago, I'll repeat myself and save the taxpayers the cost of Holder's legal assistants having to pore through the federal criminal statutes starting with the A's.

Among the criminal laws apparently broken by Assange is 18 U.S.C. 793(e), which provides:

"Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, (etc. etc.) relating to the national defense, ... (which) the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates (etc. etc) the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same (etc) ...

"Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

As is evident, merely being in unauthorized possession of classified national security documents that could be used to harm this country and publishing those documents constitutes a felony.

There's no exception for albinos with webpages – or "journalists." Journalists are people, too!

And now, skipping down to the end of the column:

If Assange had unauthorized possession of any national defense document that he had reason to believe could be used to injure the United States, and he willfully communicated that to any person not entitled to receive it, Assange committed a felony, and it wouldn't matter if he were Lois Lane, my favorite reporter.

As I have noted previously, the only part of the criminal law that doesn't apply to reporters is the death penalty, at least since 2002, when the Supreme Court decided in Atkins v. Virginia that it's "cruel and unusual punishment" to execute the retarded.

Also, journalists can slander people at will. That ought to make them happy.

Obama is a lawyer, not a leader ~ By Craig R. Smith

"Given his background, there are many questions about where Barack Obama's true allegiance lies. However, one thing we do know for an absolute fact: Barak Obama is 100 percent lawyer. He was trained as a lawyer, thinks like a lawyer, acts like a lawyer and is a lawyer. Thus, he views everything through lawyer's eyes." Read the story | Digg story

Frankenstein and the exclusionary rule ~ By Ellis Washington

Why won't the Court simply abandon the exclusionary rule instead of tinkering with it like Dr. Frankenstein's monster? For the Court not to allow the truth into evidence (in any case) is tantamount to giving the criminal the key to his own jail cell while putting the public under the control of deviants, sociopaths and psychopaths, (or even Rep. Alcee Hastings [D-FL], a former federal judge who was impeached and removed from office after being charged with corruption and perjury in the late 1980s). read more | digg story
