McEnany Debunked ‘Fake News’ Atlantic Story With One Email

 

The story in The Atlantic has been categorically debunked by eye witnesses and contemporaneous documents,” Trump said. “Behind me you will see an email from one of the President’s miliary aids that clearly reads, ‘We are a bad weather call for today’s lift.’ The Atlantic reporting is based on four, cowardly anonymous sources who probably do not even exist. Meanwhile within hours 10 sources, 10, went on the record debunking these lies, eight with first hand knowledge stating on the record one common truth, that this story is false. It never happened,” McEnany said, adding testimony from two additional military officers that the story is not true. Why would a publication abandon all journalistic integrity and publish this story?…”

NY Times scrubbed ‘Antifa’ reference from top of its report on Portland suspect Michael Reinoehl

 

“…Michael Forest Reinoehl, an antifa supporter, died when law enforcement went to arrest him, four officials said. He was being investigated in the fatal shooting of a member of a far-right group,” the Times initially wrote below the headline…”

That is, before altering it to read:

Note while The Times deleted the description of Reinoehl as an “antifa supporter”, in the interest of fairness it kept the reference to the victim being “a member of a far-right group”.

Now, here’s The Gouge!

First up, NRO‘s Andy McCarthy explains why…

It’s a Straight Line from Biden to BLM

Black Lives Matter is not a reaction to Donald Trump.

 

“…Black Lives Matter is not a reaction to Donald Trump. It is a subversive movement of loosely knit but lavishly funded chapters that exploded on the scene in the Obama years, amid the rioting over the killings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Demagogues turned those horrific incidents into racial controversies, despite the lack of evidence that racial animus led to the fatal confrontations, and despite the abundant evidence that the decedents were culpable. The Obama-Biden strategy was to embrace BLM as an ally, exploiting BLM’s agitation in order to suppress opposition to shared political goals.

It still is.

Even if the latest Progressive willing to carry the Marxists’ water is a less-than perfect vessel…not to mention a couple cans short of a case.

Speaking of imperfect vessels…and one extremely wide in the beam at that…for those unfamiliar with the type of Marxist-created critical race theory indoctrination for federal employees Trump just terminated, here’s an example from a recent “voluntary” session somewhere in the Southwest:

If only everyone who’d suffered under the gentle hand of Communism throughout history was as well-fed as Ashleigh the Lion’s been under the racist rule of White privilege and Capitalism.  Regardless, whatever race she’s in, we’re betting Ashleigh’s dead last.

Next up, NRO‘s Michael Brendan Dougherty offers some precognitive post-election retrospection, as he predicts…

How They Lost

This is how we will look back on the 2020 presidential race, no matter who wins.

 

We have two months until Election Day. And ever since the national conventions, the campaigns have been in high gear. But the polls aren’t moving. Absent a military intervention from beyond our borders, or further natural disasters, we likely know everything necessary about our two contentious political parties and the two cantankerous old men who are leading them into conflict to understand the outcomes and why they happened.

Dear readers, one of these scenarios will be broadly true, if the election is decided cleanly. All you have to do to escape the anxiety and tumult leading into Election Day these next two months is internalize these possibilities and accept the sovereign will of the Almighty over all things.

To which we can only add a hearty “AMEN”.  And while we’d certainly accept a Harris…er,…short-lived Biden presidency…assuming they won fair and square…we must confess being thankful for such will likely strain our powers of appreciation.  That being said, as Paul relates in I Thessalonians 5:18, we’re commanded to, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

In a related item forwarded by The Boss, writing at The American Mind, Michael Anton wonders about the looming likelihood of…

The Coming Coup?

Democrats are laying the groundwork for revolution right in front of our eyes.

 

“…One might dismiss such comments as the ravings of a dementia patient and a has-been who never got over his own electoral loss. But before you do, consider also this. Over the summer a story was deliberately leaked to the press of a meeting at which 100 Democratic grandees, anti-Trump former Republicans, and other ruling class apparatchiks got together (on George Soros’s dime) to “game out” various outcomes of the 2020 election. One such outcome was a clear Trump win. In that eventuality, former Bill Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, playing Biden, refused to concede, pressured states that Trump won to send Democrats to the formal Electoral College vote, and trusted that the military would take care of the rest.

The leaked report from the exercise darkly concluded that “technocratic solutions, courts, and reliance on elites observing norms are not the answer here,” promising that what would follow the November election would be “a street fight, not a legal battle.”

Two more data points (among several that could be provided). Over the summer, two former Army officers, both prominent in the Democrat-aligned “national security” think tank world, wrote an open letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in which they urged him to deploy the 82nd Airborne Division to drag President Trump from the Oval Office at precisely 12:01 PM, January 20, 2021.

About a month later, Hillary Clinton declared publicly that Joe Biden should not concede the election “under any circumstances.” The old English major in me interprets the word “any” to mean “no,” “none,” “nada,” “niente,” “zero,” “zilch” “bupkis”…you get the idea.

This doesn’t sound like the rhetoric of a political party confident it will win an upcoming election.

These items are, to repeat, merely a short but representative list of what Byron York recently labeled “coup porn.” York seems to think this is just harmless fantasizing on the part of the ruling class and its Democratic servants. For some of them, no doubt that’s true. But for all of them? I’m not so sure…”

Hey, it’s not like they haven’t already tried

…both in 2016 and 1860!  But hey, Pete Strzok chalks HIS “errors” up to overwork.  Perhaps if he’d been going straight home at night rather than playing tonsil hockey with paramour Lisa Page…?!?

And in the Follow-Up Segment, Townhall.com‘s Bronson Stocking offers more facts and analysis concerning the demise of Daniel Prude:

Here’s What Violent Protesters…as Well as Rochester mayor Lovely Warren…Should Know About the Death of Daniel Prude

 

In March, Police received reports of a man, matching Daniel Prude’s description, breaking a window in the nearby area. Prude’s own brother, Joe, called 911 for help, telling police that Prude was acting suicidal and had thrown himself “head first” down 21-flights of stairs. Joe was also worried that his brother may have jumped in front of a train.

Bodycam footage of the 41-year-old’s arrest was recently released, showing officers placing a spit shield over Prude’s head. Prude had refused to stop spitting and told officers he had the coronavirus.

After Prude demanded officers give him a gun, threatened to “kill everybody in that house” and defiantly stood up from the ground, officers restrained the high, erratic, and apparently homicidal Prude by lowering him back to a prone position, where an individual is much less likely to harm himself and others.

When paramedics arrived on scene, one paramedic told officers that she was giving Prude something to help calm him down. Officers told the paramedic that Prude may be on PCP and stated that he had the coronavirus.

At 3:22 a.m., an officer asks Prude, “You good, man?” When Prude didn’t respond, an officer states that Prude is puking “straight water.” One minute later, when Prude appears to no longer have chest compressions, the officer instructs others to help roll Prude on to his side. Prude remains unresponsive and appears limp. At 3:24 p.m., after one paramedic shouts to another for help, Prude is turned over and administered CPR. Prude’s cuffs are removed and the suspect is placed on a gurney.

According to a copy of the autopsy report obtained by Prude’s family lawyers, the Monroe County Medical Examiner ruled Prude’s death a homicide, citing complications of PCP intoxication, excited delirium, and asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint. (Having likely aspirated his own PCP-created vomit.)

So maybe it’s a homicide in the sense that Prude’s drug dealer provided him with PCP. But activists are pointing to the cops, who, true, did restrain Prude when he didn’t comply, as they do with all suspects who want to break into a house and “kill everybody” inside. But the cops also helped paramedics render assistance when Prude suddenly became unresponsive. Joe is accusing the cops of “lynching” his brother and has called the death a “cold-blooded murder.”

it’s hard to imagine the police would have acted any differently had Prude been white. If the police didn’t restrain Prude, there’s no telling how Prude may have harmed himself or others. Joe had called the police because he feared his brother may have been struck by a passing train. Remember, Prude was trying to kill himself and made a statement about killing people inside a home“We don’t know what to do with him because of that stuff he was on,” Joe’s wife told an officer after the arrest.

The police are damned if they do and damned if they don’t...”

Note this CBS News intro, which not only incorrectly states the cause of Prude’s death, but the nature of his problem:

As we understand the facts, Prude died from asphyxia (having aspirated his own vomit), not from “being asphyxiated“; the former denotes a condition caused by lack of oxygen resulting in unconsciousness or death, the latter an action leading to or causing unconsciousness or death due to a lack of oxygen.

And while the deceased certainly wasn’t of sound mind, his problems the evening in question would appear far more related to the fact the PCP in his systems had rendered him…
