Episode 476 – Happy George Floyd Day!

Is George Floyd more influential to American history than Martin Luther King Jr.?

A terror attack in Texas proves that we live under a corrupt regime.

And Ted Cruz redeems himself.

 

Way to Minimize What a Hero Does

I was in Big Bear this weekend, dying of the China virus. But it was Martin Luther King’s birthday so I decided to enjoy it anyway. I did not watch much news, as I tend to do on holidays with the family. So I’m coming home and I hear the most insane statement from Joe Biden “celebrating” MLK Day. Listen:

Some things:

  • That pause at the end was so Old Joe’s wise words could sink in.
  • Or maybe in was the red flag in his brain that popped up 30 seconds later that said, “That is a really dumb thing to say. Don’t say it.”
  • Then his brain said, “Shit, too late.”

There are some stark differences between Martin Luther King and George Floyd.

  • MLK was had a doctorate in theology from Boston University. George Floyd was a rapper known as “Big Floyd” from a rap group called “Screwed Up Click”.
  • MLK fought for Civil Rights for black people during Jim Crow. George Floyd spent time in prison for drug possession and armed robbery.
  • MLK died because he pushed the passing of the 1964. George Floyd died because he was stoned on a lethal cocktail of drugs and gave out a fake $20 bill to get some cigarettes and a bad cop killed him.

Does this sound like George Floyd is of the same character as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Why in God’s name would he say something like this?

Well, there are a few things.

To start off, Joe Biden is stupid and always says the wrong things. There is a good chance he said this and realized in mid-sentence that this was a bad thing to say. Most people know that George Floyd was a career criminal and a thug. This comment is not going to sit well with anyone other than the BLM crowd.

But George Floyd’s life is a representation of what the Left wants. His death did transform the country into something the Left has been wanting since the 1960s. He didn’t mean to do it. He was just stoned and wanted to steal a pack of smokes. But his death was a sacrifice for the Left that would overturn 250 years of the American spirit. His death is an excuse to:

  • Eliminate the nuclear family.
  • Eliminate the Constitution.
  • Eliminate free speech, the free press, religion and guns.
  • Eliminate capitalism.
  • Reboot segregation.
  • Demonize white people.
  • Implement critical race theory in schools to children.
  • Defund the police.
  • Clear the prisons.
  • Legalize crime.

All Martin Luther King Jr. did was end systemic racism caused by the Jim Crow laws that only lasted 100 years because King believed that blacks should be seen as equal to whites in society and the eyes of the law. He believed in this country and thought that this country was not living up to its promise of the Constitution. That is not a popular stance with the BLM movement.

So, yes, George Floyd did have more affect on the country, and, as a consequence, the world. To you and me, that’s a bad thing. To Joe Biden and the Left, that’s a good thing.

 

A Real Clear Message

There was a hostage situation at a Jewish synagogue in Texas this weekend. The reaction from the FBI and White House is amazing.

 

The Story

Here is the story:

  • On Saturday, the holy day for the Jews, a homeless man walked into the middle of the service at the Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, TX.
  • The Jews let him in because that’s what they do. Turns out religious people have empathy for the less fortunate.
  • The man pulled a gun (that he bought, illegally, on the street) and held the people hostage.
  • Several got out and called the police.
  • The police and FBI were called and surrounded the area. The Texas SWAT team was also contacted.
  • The FBI established communications with the man. His demand was that one of his sisters, who was in prison and sentenced for 86 years in prison, was to be released. The man said that he was not going to come out alive. At this time, only four people were being held.
  • The Rabbi, while the hostage taker was talking to the police, threw a chair at the man. The four hostages escaped.
  • SWAT broke into the building and, according to reports, killed the suspect.

 

Why?

So here’s the question: Why did this happen?

According to everyone, we don’t know. Here is the FBI talking about the motives of the suspect:

The FBI had no idea. For all they know, this guy was just cruising down the street, came up to a Jewish synagogue and decided to take hostages.

Old Joe also had no idea what was happening. He said in a statement:

He doesn’t know why this guy walked into a Jewish synagogue, took a bunch of Jews hostage and used anti-Semitic terms? Really? Could I venture a guess?

I got some clues about it:

  • He live streamed the attack.
  • His name was Malik Faisal Akram.
  • The woman he wanted released is named Aafia Siddiqui, also known as ‘Lady al Qaeda.’

According to ABC News correspondent Aaron Katersky:

Aafia Siddiqui is “linked to al Qaeda and was convicted in 2010 of attempting to kill Americans in Afghanistan. Siddiqui … who’s known in counterterrorism circles as ‘Lady al Qaeda,’ has been linked to 9/11 ringleader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and was once on the FBI’s most-wanted terrorists list. Educated in the United States — she studied at M.I.T. and received a doctorate from Brandeis — Siddiqui was arrested in 2008 in Afghanistan carrying sodium cyanide, as well as documents describing how to make chemical weapons and dirty bombs and how to weaponize Ebola. When FBI and military officials tried to question Siddiqui, she grabbed a weapon left on the table in her interrogation room and fired upon them.”

Gee, do we still have no clue why this guy decided to attack Jews?

 

Maybe They Should Have Read This

Maybe Joe Biden and the FBI should subscribe to the right-leaning British newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. The day after the terrorist attack, they had a full spread on Akram. Here’s what they found:

  • He lived in Blackburn, England.
  • He may have been on a terror watchlist, but no one will confirm. That usually means he was.
  • He got a tourist visa from the United States by lying on his application.
  • He has criminal history dates back to 1996, when he was jailed for violent disorder following a baseball attack on a member of his extended family.
  • He was given a six-month custodial sentence but was jailed again the following year, after being found guilty of destroying property.
  • In 1999, he was again behind bars following a conviction for harassment and, after being let out on license, he breached the terms of his release and was returned to prison.
  • His most recent spell in prison came in 2012, when he was remanded in custody after being accused of stealing a phone and almost £5,000 from a man in Chorley.
  • Akram was a regular visitor to Pakistan and was understood to be a member of Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic organization banned by Saudi Arabia.
  • His family had a history of mental health problems.

In other words, this guy was a terrorist with a criminal history and should have never been allowed in this country. He hated Jews and wanted to kill them. If it wasn’t for that brave Rabbi, he probably would have killed them. But that is not the most disturbing part of this story.

There are three things that are disturbing here:

  • Identity politics and the victim class narrative is more important than the truth.
    • For some reason, Muslims are seen as a victim class and the Left wants us to have more compassion for them than the Jews, who are considered a “master” class.
    • Jewish deaths mean nothing. Look at the issue with Israel and terrorists in the Middle East.
    • The Left does not care about any of the privileged classes. They can die and that’s OK.
  • Terrorism is a political football. It is something the Biden administration, among all their other failures, don’t need right now. You could see that Biden tried to shift the narrative. He tried to blame guns for this whole incident even thought this guy got the gun illegally.
  • The government shows how they suck, once again. This guy should have never been in this country. His application was, obviously, never vetted.
  • The FBI has been corrupted by politics.

The last statement is the scariest because our chief law enforcement arm in this country has now become, politically, an arm of the Left. If you need more proof of this, all we have to do is look back to January 6th, 2020.

Cruz Redeems Himself

Last week, Ted Cruz got lambasted because he called the January 6th rioters “terrorists”, basically playing into the Democratic narrative. I thought the comment was not good, but I didn’t put too much into it. I like what Ted Cruz stands for so I just dismissed it as clumsy language.

Tucker Carlson didn’t. He ripped Ted Cruz to the point Cruz felt the need to go on Tucker’s show to explain himself. Tucker tore into him and Cruz sucked it up. He said he used clumsy, stupid language and didn’t mean what he said. Tucker pointed out that Cruz is a master of language and has never said something he didn’t mean. Cruz just took it and assured Tucker that it was an accident and he didn’t mean.

I’ll give him this, he has balls to go in and face the music.

I will give Ted Cruz the benefit of the doubt and I thought the whole thing was overdone anyway. But, this week, while interviewing a couple of directors from the FBI about the January 6th Capitol riots, he redeemed himself and brought up doubts as to the role of the FBI during the riot. He may have invalidated the January 6th commission that has been wasting money and time for the last six months.

In the first clip, Cruz goes after Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen.

Olsen was testifying in front of the Senate. How could he not know this information? How could he not know that Republicans were going to ask those questions?

The reality is he did know. He didn’t want to answer the questions.

Here, Cruz points out that the FBO and DOJ is a strong arm of the Biden administration, doling out justice unequally.

Everything he said is correct.

In the next clip, Cruz goes after the the FBI’s executive assistant director for the national security branch, Jill Sanborn. He was no less brutal to her. He didn’t care that she was a woman.

Why can’t she answer those questions? They were yes/no questions that people in America have. Tucker Carlson did an entire series on it. Twitter and Facebook are exploding with these “conspiracy theories”. She doesn’t have to say what the FBI did, just if they were there. And if they weren’t there, she could easily say no.

But they were there. She knows it. She doesn’t want to answer those questions but she doesn’t want to lie.

Cruz continues:

Ray Epps is another conspiracy theorist legend. Except he was actually there. He was filmed and he, conveniently disappeared. Are you getting the impression maybe some of these conspiracies that people are coming up with might not be conspiracies? And why didn’t the January 6th committee not ask about Ray Epps? Let’s be clear, there is video of the guy inciting violence against the capital. You could hear him talking.

Let’s let Cruz continue:

Doesn’t look like a conspiracy theory anymore, does it? It sounds like the conspiracy is being perpetuated by the Democrats. It’s looking like that Biden’s DOJ and FBI, along with the Democrats, are hiding some things.

Good for Ted Cruz. He is forgiven for his missteps.
