Beware The False Narrative

Posted on by

On Saturday, Hot Air posted an article about the narrative the media (and the Democrats) have put forth about the shooting in Minneapolis on Saturday. The narrative somehow does not acknowledge that resisting arrest when having a gun is a really bad idea.

The article reports:

Few people really know what exactly happened this morning in Minneapolis, and that certainly includes the governor and Mayor of Minneapolis. 

Yet both of them started making statements blaming ICE for the shooting of an armed man who was resisting arrest, and seemed to be encouraging the citizens of Minneapolis to attack ICE because they are part of an “invasion” of the state. 

Enforcing federal law is not an invasion of the state. In this case it is the federal government doing the job the state is supposed to do.

The article notes:

Democrats have already settled on a narrative, which amounts to a claim that ICE and the Border Patrol are not legitimate law enforcement officers, that they are kidnapping children and peaceful American citizens, and that everybody being arrested is a “neighbor” who was just minding their business and making our communities stronger.

…Senate Democrats, who haven’t a clue about conditions in Minneapolis, are attacking ICE as a violent version of the Keystone Cops. They are untrained, incompetent, but also Gestapo agents who are arresting innocent rapists and murderers who are, through adding their diversity, increasing the strength of our community.

…The reality is that the streets are being taken over by Black Bloc rioters who are assaulting federal agents every day, and that death threats against ICE agents are a fact of life here in Minneapolis. Random people are being stopped in the streets by anti-ICE “protesters” and harassing them.

…Frey and Walz have all the tools to keep the peace, and could, at any time, tone down the temperature and the rhetoric. All they need to do is assist in the peaceful apprehension of known criminals and turn over the criminal illegal aleins in jail.

…But the media and the Democrats think they have a winning issue on their hands, and want to make Trump back down. They have chosen a more violent version of the same strategy used in the shutdown. They hold the power to end the problem, but milk it for political reasons and blame the president for not doing what they, themselves, have the power to do.

When was the last time you saw a Democrat do something good for his country rather than something he thought was good for his party?

If you want peace in your city, elect someone who will uphold the law!

Common Sense Is On Vacation

On March 3rd, The Hill reported that the bill to prevent transgender male athletes from competing in women’s sports failed in the U.S. Senate. All of the Democrats voted against the bill.

The article reports:

Legislation to prevent transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports failed to advance in the Senate on Monday after all Democrats voted against it. 

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act failed to clear an initial procedural hurdle on a 51-45 vote. It needed 60 votes to advance, which would have required at least seven Democrats to vote with all Republicans to move it. The bill cleared the House in January on an almost entirely party-line vote. 

The article notes:

House Democrats, all but two of whom voted against the bill in January, said the measure would open the door to sexual abuse and invite invasive scrutiny of girls’ bodies, dubbing it the “Child Predator Empowerment Act.”

“Bills like these send the message that transgender kids don’t deserve the same opportunities to thrive as their peers simply because of who they are. And they are impossible to enforce without putting all kids at risk of invasive questions or physical examinations just because someone doesn’t look or dress like everyone else,” said Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ civil rights group.

I have no problem with transgender kids having opportunities, but I want those opportunities to be fair opportunities on a level playing field. Science tells us that sex is determined by chromosomes. Science tells us that males develop different muscle structure than females. That’s why golf courses have ladies’ tees. Student athletes who are women have been physically injured by transgender women playing in their sports. Women who have trained as athletes all their lives have lost scholarships to transgender women. How is that fair?

Gender dysphoria is an illness. We would be better off helping the people who suffer from that illness rather than encouraging them in the lie that they can become the opposite sex. Their DNA will never change, and they will be taking drugs their entire life to overcome their body’s desire to get back to reality. This is not healthy. Transgender people need to be loved and accepted, but they do not need to be encouraged in their illness.
