Since 2015, George Soros has been executing a plan to reshape the country through local district attorney elections by pumping unprecedented amounts of money into races that typically only see candidates spend in the low five figures.

Here’s why he has an interest in these local races. Soros is exploiting the reality that all politics are local in some way. To transform America, you have to transform the way towns and cities operate. //

Since 2015, Soros has pumped tens of millions of dollars into local races in Texas, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, and New York, as well as swing states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Arizona. In 2016, Soros spent $2,000,000 on a single sheriff race in Maricopa County, Arizona, helping the leftist candidate, Paul Penzone, win.

In Philadelphia, Soros spent an insane $1,700,000 to elect Larry Krasner DA. Soros has also given millions of dollars in grants to candidates in other states. These enormous contributions have a correspondingly enormous impact. //

In 2018 The Los Angeles Times reported that Soros spent $2,700,000 on California DA races alone, and another $16 million on 17 DA races in other states. //

San Francisco’s new DA, Chesa Boudin, is a perfect example of the ideological temperament of the candidates Soros has been backing. Boudin is a former translator for the late Venezuelan socialist dictator Hugo Chavez.

He’s also the son of two Weather Underground domestic terrorists who were convicted of murder for their roles in a Brink’s armored car robbery that resulted in the killings of three people. Due to the incarceration of his parents, Boudin was raised by former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers. //

After watching the Fox News exchange involving Gingrich, Francis, Harf, and Faulkner, I wondered how anyone who works in the news business could be so uninformed about what Soros has been up to. The left-wing billionaire’s plan clearly operates on the understanding that all politics are local and takes advantage of small-ball local DA races to remake the American justice system — and, by extension, remake all of America into the far-left world of his dreams.

That leap from remaking our justice system to remaking America may seem like a long jump to some, but law and order is the core of America’s existence. Without law and order, you don’t have a country.

Mike Gonzalez’s new book, 'The Plot to Change America,' provides penetrating analysis of the inherent dangers of identity politics, as well as ways to fight its creeping influence. //

In her 1989 landmark decision in City of Richmond v. Croson, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor criticized identity politics by pointing out the behavior of black politicians who had become a majority of that city’s council seats. Richmond certainly had an ugly history of discrimination against blacks, but now had created 30 percent contracting quotas for minority businesses. O’Connor declared that strict judicial scrutiny was required whenever a political majority used race to disadvantage a political minority.

If that were not the law, she concluded: “The dream of a Nation of equal citizens where race is irrelevant to personal opportunity and achievement would be lost in a mosaic of shifting preferences based on inherently immeasurable claims of past wrongs.” Although there were ongoing disputes about specific contracting policies, there were few public disagreements in that era about the fundamental principle that Americans of every race should have equal rights. After all, that is how the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment is written and that principle is the framework of all subsequent civil rights law.

Mike Gonzalez’s timely new book, “The Plot to Change America,” describes how our aspiration of granting all persons equal rights has been submerged by a form of identity politics that transforms some citizens into political, legal, racial, and ethnic categories demanding proportional representation and sometimes reparations.

The Return of Tribalism //

it can be argued that identity politics is just the current name for what was historically thought of as tribalism.

Most New Yorkers love New York, but does New York love most New Yorkers? It doesn’t seem so.

Gov. Cuomo treats them like children, and Mayor de Blasio like idiots. That’s why you could roll a bowling ball down many Midtown sidewalks these days, in broad daylight, and not hit more than an overflowing trash basket or a nodding-out junkie.

This is merely one symptom, of course. The true dysfunction resides in City Hall and Albany. But there are many more symptoms, and people are noticing. //

New York will probably muddle through. It’s a magical place. But what if too many of the folks who help make the magic happen decide the accompanying heavy lift isn’t worth the ­effort? That could happen, you know. And then what?

The plot thickens... //

You may have heard of the name of Alicia Garza before. She’s one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter. According to one of the other founders, Patrisse Cullors, she and Garza were “trained Marxists.”

Turns out that a new group that Garza is heading up has some very interesting connections, according to the Heritage Foundation.

Garza is heading up something called the Black Futures Lab which says it “works with Black people to transform our communities, building Black political power and changing the way that power operates – locally, statewide and nationally,” according to Fox News.

But on the donation page, the group says it is a “fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association.”

The number of Americans who distrust the media and is steadily increasing. Most Americans also believe media bias is intentional.

So this is what they teach in Journalism Schools these days?

This has a rather Third World aroma about it

A devastating indictment of the media weaving false narratives.

Wrapping up a three-day tour in Chicago, Phoenix and Cleveland Friday, Attorney General Bill Barr took on the media during an exclusive interview with Townhall."They're basically a collection of liars. //

Wrapping up a three-day tour in Chicago, Phoenix and Cleveland Friday, Attorney General Bill Barr took on the media during an exclusive interview with Townhall.

"They're basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They're a collection of liars and they know exactly what they're doing. A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people. It wasn't until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid," Barr said on the flight back to Washington Friday afternoon.

"The press has dropped, in my view - and I'm talking about the national mainstream media - has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they're reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. They're very mendacious about it," he continued. "It's very destructive to our Republic; it's very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It's contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship."

Dropping these tapes now has one purpose and one purpose alone: to affect the outcome of the elections. //

Trump’s comments on-tape were made, not after 190,000 Americans had died. These comments weren’t made after 6 million positive tests. When these comments were made, how many cases and deaths were there in the United States? The answer is one case and zero deaths. If we fast forward to March 10th, there were less than 300 cases nationally and only a couple dozen deaths. //

ignoring in their comments (or burying them deep in stories) that the tapes were made February 7th and March 10th, not September 7th. Trump didn’t callously state this now. He cautiously commented then, while leftists fought him ideologically on every step he attempted to take in reducing the risk to Americans. //

Woodward's account of what Trump said about the virus came up in the media a while ago, its just being recycled as a new story.

He actually said nothing to Woodward that he didn't say in public. And something that's not contradictory is being spun as contradictory to make it sound like he lied, when he didn't.

The people pushing this nonsense seem incapable of complex thought. Evidence that was out then showed the virus was deadlier than the flu, but that doesn't necessarily mean there was a reason to panic about it then, nor is there a reason now. The panic at the time encouraged people to crowd into supermarkets to buy TP, which likely accelerated the spread of the virus.

This hackery is getting tired //

The bottom line here is that the President disclosing that the US has a new nuclear weapon at some stage of development is hardly top-secret, or even secret. Nothing in his statement tells anything specific about what the weapon is or does. The entire kerfuffle in utter nonsense

There he goes again. //

“Whether he [Trump] said it or not, it is believable,” Rather said.

Welcome to the new “fake but accurate“, folks. The story doesn’t have to be true in order for liberals to be able to pass it off as “believable” – so as to insinuate it might as well be true.

Maybe the "System" is getting fed up with political violence by Democrats, even in Democrat states. //

Olivia Winslow & Camryn Amy are facing 7 charges. 3 of those charges are felonies. Of those which include assault, robbery, and hate crimes against a 7 year old child. They are facing a potential 15 year sentence. The timeout generation is a complete failure.

It's always been deeper than they let on. //

Take Trump’s recent triumph in garnering a deal between the UAE and Israel, which also lead to an avalanche of other normalization moves by Arab countries towards the Jewish state. The President has been nominated for a Nobel Prize for the success.

President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, submitted the nomination, Fox News reported.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde told Fox News.

The deal that led to that nomination was by far the most significant move toward peace in the Middle East in decades. And that’s precisely why it drove the foreign policy establishment, dominated by the left and Never Trump types, so insane. For years we’ve been assured by their “expertise” that such a quasi-alliance between Israel and the Arabs was not only impossible, but not preferable because it would only inflame tensions with the Palestinians. They were wrong. Again.

Unfortunately for the country, they’ve been wrong many times before. They were wrong about China. They were wrong about Iraq. They were wrong about how to fight in Afghanistan. They were wrong about Libya. They were wrong about the Arab Spring. They were wrong about Iran. They were wrong about Russia. They were wrong about Syria. I could keep going for a few more hundred words just listing major foreign policy failures by those who are held up as our intellectual betters. //

Bill Clinton on what would happen when the U.S. granted China normal trade relations. "It will strengthen those within China who fight for higher labor standards, a cleaner environment, human rights, and the rule of law."

Another on-the-record source denies the sensational claims.

The Atlantic Story on Trump disparaging the military is worthless trash, except for the value in smoking out Jennifer Griffin as a hidden Anti-Trumper at Fox.

Disney's corruption is more than tragic. //

Georgia was becoming a second Hollywood with many companies filming in the state due to its cost-effectiveness. When the state passed its fetal heartbeat law many companies said they would pull out, Disney being chief among them.

They made good on their threat, but instead of going back to California to film on those lots, they decided to take their business to China. //

My colleague Brad Slager recently reported that Disney’s cooperation with China extends so far into the corrupted state that it teamed up with the organization that helps run its concentration camps in order to film its latest live-action remake of Mulan: //

Disney will not film in the United States if the place where they are filming has pro-life laws on the books that protect children in the womb. Where they will film, however, is in the backyard of a Chinese concentration camp.

Apparently, according to Disney, the latter is more wholesome than the former.

The receipts were kept.

She's not stupid, she's evil

For decades, Democrats have been feeding a beast they’ve kept chained up and released whenever their opponents became too difficult to overcome.

That beast is the cult of social justice. You’ll find these cult members screaming things heading up Black Lives Matter rallies today, screaming about injustice, white oppression, and police brutality while brutalizing innocent people, being as racist as they possibly can, and committing injustices with reckless abandon. //

I hate to say this but I can’t help but think this is the only way Democrats will learn anything. Until they are directly affected by the policies and decisions they make, they will never see the harm and chaos they created.

I’m glad that the best is now feeding on the very masters who taught it to consume everything.
