Ninety miles from the South Eastern tip of the United States, Liberty has no stead. In order for Liberty to exist and thrive, Tyranny must be identified, recognized, confronted and extinguished.
It’s an open secret that the left dominates the media landscape. It’s impossible to go a day without some actor in the Hollywood Hills tweeting how conservatives are ruining the country, or a journalist penning a story on why all we need is more government.
In the past, these attacks were mostly relegated to adults. The shows kids consumed were politically agnostic, more aimed at entertaining than moralizing. However, the days of fun, imaginative children’s TV are over. Now shows must be sufficiently woke, and must condition children with the leftist philosophy du jour.
Take the once entertaining Cartoon Network. The channel was a quintessential part of my childhood. I can remember finishing school for the day and rushing to aftercare where the latest episode of “Pokémon” would air on Cartoon Network. It was nice, harmless fun for a kid growing up in the mid-90s.
Looking at Cartoon Network now, it’s almost unrecognizable. One of the new flagship programs for the channel is “Steven Universe.” The show follows Steven, a young boy who goes on adventures along with his magical, humanoid alien friends. “Steven Universe” has received praise from many LGBT organizations, and in the words of LGBT-focused magazine Them, is “the queerest cartoon on television.”
Them continues:
[I]t may stand as the most progressive cartoon on TV in terms of queer representation. Steven, for example, is surrounded entirely by female superheroes, and often mirrors their feminine behavior. Even more, one of them is a fusion of two female characters who are in love, and another used to be in love with Steven’s mom. The show has featured women in tuxedos, boys in dresses, and a non-binary person in whatever clothing they want, and all of it is celebrated.
Regardless of your opinions on LGBT issues, Cartoon Network is now a far cry from the network that aired apolitical content like “Pokémon.” “Steven Universe” openly wears its woke messaging on its sleeve, teaching children that gender doesn’t exist and that men can be...
The call was on Saturday, and the Washington Post had the story up Sunday, two days before the critical Senate run-off elections in Georgia, after receiving audio of the call from the Republican secretary of state.
“It’s just not possible to have lost Georgia. It’s not possible,” Trump said. “When I heard it was close, I said there’s no way. But they dropped a lot of votes in there late at night, you know that, Brad.”
“The people of Georgia are angry, the people of the country are angry. And there’s nothing wrong with saying that, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated because the 2,236 and absentee ballots,” the president told Raffensperger.
In the one hour call, Trump claimed there were “corrupt” ballots, which he said was “totally illegal.”
“It is more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they did, and you’re not reporting it. That’s a criminal, that’s a criminal offense,” he said, speaking to the secretary of state. “And you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you.”
Detailing reports of “criminal” behavior he has heard about, he told Raffensperger he was allowing this behavior to happen — that is when he spoke of needing to “find” the votes referenced above.
“And you can’t let it happen, and you are letting it happen,” the president said. “You know, I mean, I’m notifying you that you’re letting it happen. So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”
It’s clear that Trump is not asking Raffensperger to find the votes, which contradicts the dishonest media spin.
“Look, we need only 11,000 votes. We have far more than that as it stands now. We’ll have more and more,” the president said, imploring the Republican official to check for fraudulent ballots.
After claiming that hundreds of thousands of ballots were dumped into Fulton County and another county next to it, Trump said, “So what are we going to do here, folks? I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break. You know, we have that in spades already.”
Again, the ask is to address the alleged illegal voting, not generating favorable votes for him out of thin air.
Or, in other words, this appears to be yet another nothing-burger — a product of the corrupt media, which “completely decontextualized” Trump’s statements, according to Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini.
David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, announced in a tweet that Trump has filed two lawsuits – federal and state – against Raffensperger after he secretly recorded the “confidential settlement discussion” of that...
