What could have gone wrong?

In answer to charges that Democrat Jon Ossoff’s documentary outfit produced films for (and was thus on the payroll of) Arab broadcasters Al Jazeera, his campaign replied: “Jon Ossoff’s company has produced films and video content for multiple clients and news organizations around the world, including Al Jazeera, since Jon became its CEO in 2013.” Besides which, his documentaries have actually won several awards from Politically Correct leftist outfits, they add, after airing on, um . . . CNN.

What? Why is everyone laughing? CNN is a legitimate news outlet, just like Al Jazeera. Everyone along the Amtrak line from Boston to Washington City knows THAT.

So Bob Dreyfuss of “The Nation” reported back on July 10, 2013 ( https://www.thenation.com/article/al-jazeeras-muslim-brotherhood-problem/ ): ”Al Jazeera’s Muslim Brotherhood Problem / Staff quits en masse over Qatar-imposed favoritism for the Brothers”

You don’t think Americans are going to pay attention to something like THAT, do you? That would be racist, Islamophobic, all that Basket-of-Deplorables stuff.

Did Dreyfuss write “Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based, Qatar-founded and Qatar-controlled mouthpiece for one the Arab kleptocracies of the Persian Gulf, has suffered a mass resignation. Twenty-two journalists who worked for Al Jazeera quit in protest after being told by their Qatari masters to support Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood”?

Never mind. Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain!

“According to The Washington Times, citing Al Arabiya and The Gulf News: ‘The Qatari-owned media company Al-Jazeera saw 22 members of its staff in Egypt resign on Monday over what they allege was “biased coverage” of the events that unfolded in Cairo last week.

“‘Al-Jazeera correspondent Haggag Salama was among those who resigned, accusing the station of “airing lies and misleading viewers,” Gulf News reported Monday. . . .’

“Journalist Abdel Latif el-Menawy, who was head of the Egypt News Center under ex-president Hosni Mubarak, said that Al-Jazeera was a ‘propaganda channel’ for the Brotherhood.”

SHUT UP! TURN THAT THING OFF!

“’Al Jazeera turned itself into a channel for the Muslim Brotherhood group,’ el-Menawy told Al Arabiya.

“According to The Gulf News, Anchor Karem Mahmoud said that Al Jazeera was explicitly ordered to support the Brotherhood.

“A few days ago, the new Egyptian government, installed by Egypt’s military, shut down an Al Jazeera office in Cairo. . . .”

Oh, whatever.

Democrats were still so convinced Jon Ossoff was the guy who could prove the American public is sick of their new president, ready to turn their backs on Donald Trump just because Democrats (and some very sneaky RINOS, like Soros-funded John McCain and never-Trumper Paul Ryan) are digging in their heels and using every trick in the book to try and stop him from accomplishing ANYTHING for the American people, that they poured MORE THAN 25 MILLION DOLLARS into Jon Ossoff’s campaign to win the special election to fill Tom Price’s Republican House seat in Georgia’s Sixth District tonight.

(Ossoff got eight times more loot from San Francisco than from all the Democratic donors of Georgia’s Sixth District, put together.)

Yet as of 9 p.m. Eastern time, with 83 percent of precincts reporting, underfunded Republican challenger Karen Handel, who the Usual Gang of Pollsters told us was down by 2 points just a few days ago, is BLOWING JON OSSOFF OUT OF THE WATER by more than 12,000 votes, leading by 6 points.

Not “in a squeaker.” BY SIX POINTS. (Maybe too many “likely Democrat voters” remained hiding in their parents’ basements, where Ossoff get-out-the-vote managers complained they were so hard to reach, Tuesday? How’s that “New Majority Coalition” working out, guys? Needed about 14,000 more illegal aliens, didn’t you? Maybe if you were to lower the voting age to 12 . . .)

And this in a race in a “changing demographic” district that Democrats and their handmaiden media have been telling us for months was “a referendum on Donald Trump.”

Think it’ll still be reported as “a referendum on Donald Trump” by tomorrow morning? That those newscasters will be telling us “Wow, I guess Americans really DO favor Mr. Trump and his agenda. I guess we’d better stop making ourselves look ridiculous by claiming he’s about to be impeached by a Republican Congress because his cousin Willie once made a phone call to book a Russian balalaika player for his kids’ party”?

Of course not. These sober-faced geniuses will discover, for the first time, that suburban Georgia voters are . . . racist. Yeah, that’s the ticket. They rejected Ossoff because he’s young, or Jewish, or something. Wait and see. It’ll be SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVEN MENTIONED BEFORE. But 30 of them will talk about it for 18 hours, and it’ll become “the commonly accepted wisdom for why Ossoff lost.” It’ll turn into a race that “gives Democrats renewed hope, because it was so close” . . . or else commentators who 48 hours ago were soberly proclaiming this was “a referendum on Trump and his entire agenda” will discover the contest “didn’t matter that much, after all.”

Even when they win, Republicans are never to have the satisfaction of being told, “Congratulations; You guys won fair and square. Americans like your agenda, better. I guess we’d better all pitch in together and build that wall.” No, no, no. By suppertime Wednesday we’ll be told Handel and Trump won nothing. In fact, they fared so badly that they came in next-to-last!

This despite the fact that the Democrat was winning after the early voting (as usual, which is why Democrats are so enamored of early voting, an innovation eminently susceptible to fraud and manipulation.) That left Handel dependent on a high turnout among older Republicans, who prefer the social ritual of voting on Election Day, when poll watchers are more likely to spot fraud. Yet it rained heavily in the Sixth District Tuesday afternoon, doubtless suppressing her GOP turnout. Meaning that on a clear day Handel would likely have won by 8 or 9 points!

Think the lying scum will mention that?

In fact, you don’t suppose Georgia voters decided to cast their ballots against all those leftist newscasters and Hollywood media types cheering the assassination attempt on the Republican congressional baseball team last week, do you? You don’t suppose they’re getting sick and tired of this absurd “Russian collusion” witch hunt — from which the only practical outcome is that Donald Trump now finds it politically impossible to sit down with Vladimir Putin and agree to work together to wipe out ISIS in the Middle East — an artificial obstacle to cooperation that brings us closer each day to a completely unnecessary air war with Russia over Syrian airspace — do you?

You don’t suppose thoughtful grown-up voters preferred Handel’s support for law-abiding Georgians being “allowed” to carry self-defense weapons on college campuses . . . over Ossoff’s Democrat knee-jerk preference for keeping potential victims disarmed (College students “should be able to sit in class without worrying whether the student next to them has a Glock on their hip,” he simpered) . . . at the same time Ossoff favored open borders to admit ever more unscreened Muslim terrorists, and “sanctuary” for MS-13 gang-bangers?

Twenty five million dollars. Probably more.

Let’s see, if the Democrat Party can’t win a congressional seat in a district that went for Donald Trump by just 1 point last November by spending 25 million dollars (probably more), then in order to take back majority control of the House in 2018 as the new head of the Democratic National Committee has vowed to do, is likely to cost . . . hmm, flipping 25 seats at 50 million dollars for each percentage point by which each of those seats went Republican in 2016, start with 1.25 billion dollars, carry the one . . .

Yep. Time to ask Vladimir Putin to step in. Apparently HE knows how to do it.

NEXT TIME: MSNBC’s Joy Reid says we should hesitate to pray for Congressman Steve Scalise’s recovery from the rifle bullet of a Democratic assassin, since the congressman is a racist. ( http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/17/steve-scalise-cant-defend-himself-msnbc-is-back-to-attacking-him-anyway/ .)

In the first place, if Scalise WERE a racist, I’m not sure it should be the proper role of an ill-informed, smug, massively partisan television “newscaster” or “talk show host” to wish him dead, or to urge her viewers to wish him dead, and I thus don’t believe outfits like MSNBC, which harbor and fund and gleefully promote such race-based hatred and inflammatory rhetoric, which could easily make them an “accessory before the fact” to murder and treason, can lose viewers and go bankrupt fast enough.

In the second place, Scalise’s black Louisiana Democratic colleague Rep. Cedric Richmonds testifies Congressman Scalise “doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.” This whole “racism” charge has to do with the absurd (and doubtless purposeful) misreporting of the congressman having once addressed a group of constituents in a hotel where a group concerned with the rights of white people (as we can surely all agree the NAACP is concerned with the rights of black people, which doesn’t make the NAACP a “black supremacist” group, does it?) held a meeting IN A DIFFEENT ROOM of the same hotel SEVERAL HOURS LATER.

( http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politico-reporter-trots-out-bogus-steve-scalise-racial-issues-following-shooting/article/2626041 .)

If there remain congressmen in Washington who issue standing orders to discriminate against blacks, or not to hire blacks, or to pay blacks three-fifths of what whites are paid, or that black employees must shuffle their feet and call them “Massa Steve,” we would certainly like to hear about that. The last member of Congress I know of that could be legitimately charged with that kind of stuff was former Ku Klux Klan Grand Kleagle Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, of whom Hillary Clinton said on June 28, 2010, “Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor, Robert C. Byrd.”

(Yes, really. . . . http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/08/25/hillary-clinton-friend-mentor-robert-byrd-kkk/ .)

And Sen. Byrd was, of course . . . a lifelong Democrat.

The highly flexible and never-very-specific definitions under which these Politically Correct berserkers now feel safe condemnning ANY conservative white male as a “racist,” “homophobe,” etc., will not stand. They have run their disastrous, destructive course.

Political Correctness actually PROMOTES racism by making Americans reluctant to discuss the real “racism of lowered expectations” (massively on display in Washington, D.C., by the way: see Clarence Thomas’ tale of the government worker who opened the back door of his car as he was leaving the federal courthouse one day, climbed in and gave him an address — assuming the black man in the fancy car must be a chauffeur) through which the Leftist welfare state imprisons vast numbers of minority Americans in multi-generational poverty, as well as the largely race- and gender-based class system that ridicules and dismisses the achievements of the likes of Sarah Palin and Clarence Thomas because they’re “not real women” or “not real blacks” because they didn’t attend the right Ivy League schools and because they refuse to memorize and recite on command the Politically Correct catechisms mouthed so happily for their corporate masters by sneering bitches like . . . Joy Reid.

NEXT TIME.
