No Rest From Bogeyman . . . From Calif. Recall To Milley Phone Call, Dems Still Cast Trump As Evil Genius

September 19, 2021 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

Gone from White House power since January, Donald Trump still seemed to be the most consequen-
tial political figure in the day’s headlines, national radio talk hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton noted on September 15.
California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom had just survived a recall election by running against private citizen Trump, the radio hosts
observed, while, they said, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff allegedly used
Trump as an excuse to engage in what would amount to a treason-
ous contact with the head of the Communist Chinese military.
The allegation that Gen. Mark Milley reportedly colluded is in the new book Peril (Simon & Schu-
ster), by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, about the conclusion of the Trump presi-
dency and the start of the Joe Biden one.
Milley reportedly was so concerned that Trump could start a war with China that he wanted to reassure the Communists to the contrary, or at least prevent a surprise attack.
The notion that Milley might be a disinterested patriot is clouded by the fact that after talking with the Communist military, he reportedly contacted hard-left Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The New York Sun posted on September 15 that after the call, “Gen. Milley reached out to Mr. Trump’s bitterest and most hysterical political foe, Speaker Pelosi, who, the (New York) Times account says, told him: ‘This is bad, but who knows what he might do? He’s crazy. You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time’.”
The Sun added: “The Times, which notes that Gen. Milley is not in the chain of command, ‘tried to reassure Ms. Pelosi that he could stop Mr. Trump’.”
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine posted on September 15: “If you believe the latest Bob Woodward book, the United States has lost civilian control of its military — unless you count Nancy Pelosi, who seems to have been in control of everything since she became speaker in 2019 with the single-minded goal of bringing down Donald Trump.
“Everything has gone downhill since,” Devine added, “and most dangerously at the Pentagon, where a cohort of woke generals fell under Pelosi’s malign spell.”
To the shame of Catholics around the world, the very bad Catholic Pelosi is one of the most powerful so-called Catholics in the world. At least, until she goes before the Judgment Seat.
Radio host Sexton said Democrats’ unending emphasis on Trump “is a continuation of a Democrat strategy that they have been using in the Trump era, which is really just a version of they want to burn the village down in order to save it. When it came to ‘undermining our institutions of government —’ Remember, that was the big talking point. . . .
“But,” Sexton continued, “this is actually Orwellian. This is what we’re seeing play out with Democrat narrative of, ‘Anything we gotta do to keep our side on offense against Trump,’ even though Trump — We just saw this with Gavin Newsom. Trump’s not even in office anymore! Doesn’t matter. He’s the great bogeyman.”
Politically dysfunctional Newsom had created so much chaos and resentment in California that the petition to recall him easily gained enough signatures to make the ballot, even though registered Democrats far outnumber registered Republicans in the formerly Golden State.
However, as this was written on the day after the September 14 recall-voting period ended, nearly two-thirds of the tallied votes opposed removing him.
You can’t forget that Democrats are masters of vote fraud, and that Dems from coast to coast were aware of their dire necessity to keep Newsom in office. Still, it would be quite a criminal achievement to fake literally millions of votes in one state. Hmm, maybe hundreds of thousands. But millions?
News reports said some Republicans who went to the polls were told they already had voted when they had not, so they were allowed to cast provisional ballots. But what about uninterested people who didn’t vote in the recall? Fraudulent votes could have been cast in their names that they wouldn’t find out about.
Mail ballots had been sent to everyone registered in the state. And California law even allowed people to print out ballots at home. Talk about an opportunity to cheat.
Moreover, the left-wing political class has a marvelous talent at coordination. On the very next day, September 15, with Newsom’s election in the bag, populous Los Angeles County announced its intention to impose a new vaccine “passport” — the sort of restriction that previously generated so much resentment against him.
On September 15, Phoenix radio talk host Seth Leibsohn (KKNT, 960 AM) cited the parallel with the 2020 presidential election, which had just ended when the successful development of the then-eagerly awaited COVID-19 vaccine surprisingly was announced. How Trump would have welcomed such news while votes still were being cast.
The Wanderer asked conservative GOP political consultant Constantin Querard about the recall result. Querard looked back to the successful 2003 California recall against inept liberal Democrat
Gov. Gray Davis.
“The old expression, ‘You can’t beat somebody with nobody,’ applies to this recall,” he said. “Gray Davis was recalled in large part because California voters wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to be governor. This time, while there were a lot more qualified candidates than there were when Davis was recalled, the field was too divided and none of the top three or five candidates had enough support to make recalling Newsom attractive to the average voter.
“They didn’t like Newsom, but were not comfortable with his replacement options, so they chose the devil they knew,” Querard
said.
Still, fund-raisers and national Democrat politicians went all-in for Newsom, as if they believed he was in serious peril. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris went to California to speak for him, while the money spigots from the elite were wide open for Newsom’s campaign.
This also brought us the demonic spectacle of bad Catholic pro-abortion fanatics Newsom and Biden warning of the serious threat posed by Newsom potentially losing. Just when they had their pagan furnaces all heated up to cremate more babes, how dare anyone try to douse the flames.
A San Diego woman told The Wanderer on September 13, “Republicans pretty much think that chicanery is already going on to sink the recall.”
Certainly dominant left-wing media played their usual role in skewing coverage, portraying the leading challenger to Newsom, black conservative Republican Larry Elder, as a racist, while racist attacks against Elder were shrugged off.
On September 8, as the campaigning Elder walked through the Venice neighborhood in Los Angeles, a white woman wearing a racially charged gorilla mask came up and threw an egg at the back of his head. After it sailed past, the woman threw a punch at another man. However, the incident received little media attention.
Some conservative critics quickly noted that if, for example, a white person wearing a MAGA cap and gorilla mask had thrown an egg at prominent black Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams out campaigning, the incident would have leapt to front pages and reverberated around the world for days while Newsom would be blasted repeatedly for inciting the incident.
This is the sort of coverage, or lack of it, that can make a major difference in campaign momentum. And journalistic bigots are perfectly aware of that.
Elder subsequently complained that if he were a Democrat, the attack would have been described as a hate crime and a manhunt would be on for the attacker.
Indeed, reporters would have been digging through whatever information they could lay their hands on to discover background on the attacker and spin it as they wanted. But, as it happened, the mystery woman didn’t seem to interest dominant media at all.
Said Elder on a video: “They’d be talking about this in Bangladesh. But because I have an ‘R’ at the end of my name, a lot of the mainstream media didn’t give a rip.”
Longtime political numbers cruncher Michael Barone posted at the Washington Examiner on September 15 that the voting results were in line with recent performances. His article was headlined, “California voters get what they deserve.”
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom was elected governor in 2018 by 62 percent to 38 percent, a result that was, unsurprisingly in an era of straight-ticket voting and strong partisan allegiance, almost identical to Joe Biden’s 64 percent to 34 percent over Donald Trump in 2020,” Barone wrote.
“As of this writing — and it has taken California weeks to count its votes in recent general elections — incomplete returns show 64 percent of Californians against recalling Newsom and only 36 percent in favor of removing him from office,” he wrote.
Exit polls showed white college graduates supporting Newsom by 68 percent, Barone said. However, “White voters without college degrees, or those left behind after hundreds of thousands of others have abandoned California’s high housing and energy costs, were the one ethnically defined group that favored recall, 57 percent to 43 percent.”
A recent Quinnipiac University Poll showed approval of Biden nationally at just 42 percent, but even lower at 38 percent of Hispanics and 28 percent among whites who didn’t attend college, Barone said.
As for Milley, Sean Hannity told his national talk-radio audience on September 15 that the general either is a traitor or the journalists’ accusation against him is so wrong that monetary damages could put Milley in the position of owning The Washington Post and a good part of Amazon.
The book authors work for the Post, which is owned, as is Amazon, by multibillionaire Jeff Bezos.
Hannity told his listeners he didn’t know if Milley committed this wrong, but the charge is so serious that Biden should immediately put the general on administrative leave, and Pelosi should be investigated, too, for her alleged involvement.
Of course Biden did just the opposite and voiced his “great confidence” in Milley on September
15.
Also, Hannity said, how could the two journalists have sat on this story for months, until they could put it in their book? Wasn’t this serious news that deserved attention earlier?
It wasn’t the first time that longtime Post journalist Woodward had been accused of keeping important information under wraps until he could hit the bookshelves with it.
On many days people raise interesting questions at Facebook. One user got to the point by asking that if Milley did this against Trump, what’s being done about the clearly senile Biden?
However, if a person is a cog in the globalist machine, he can get away with all sorts of mischief that outsiders aren’t allowed. Trump’s White House was a geyser of misleading leaks, but damaging insider information hardly ever emerges about the loopy Biden, no matter how much of a danger he poses.
The failure to hold up Biden for the harsh examination he deserves may one day cost the whole world dearly.

Abortion Advocates No Longer Consider It “A Necessary Evil,” They Celebrate Killing Babies

Last week, Kamala Harris became the first vice president in U.S. history to make a public visit to an abortion clinic.
