Black Lives Matter’s Corporate Funding
Jay Greenberg at Neonnettle reports:
Black Lives Matter Is Funded by These 18
Corporations
The main Black Lives Matter
organization, founded by “trained Marxists,” calls for replacing the
nuclear family with a “village,” and abolishing police, prisons, and
law courts.
Despite the extreme goals of BLM,
some of America’s largest corporations have pledged or donated hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the far-left group.
Prominent brands, including Amazon,
Microsoft, Nabisco, Gatorade, Airbnb, and the Atlantic and Warner record
labels, have helped to fund the organization with massive donations.

Million MAGA March For Trump: A Report from DC
photograph at
American Mind
Last Saturday, the Million MAGA March For Trump drew hundreds of thousands of Americans to DC. A report was published at the American Mind blogsite. Our household was not able to attend, but this report by Mrs. Chris Flannery brought back vivid memories of our trip in 2009 for the Taxpayer March on DC. Same sense of shared experiences and love of country. It was orderly, patriotic, and fun. Here’s a short extract.
Everyone was cheerful: smiling,
laughing, and nodding to each other, giving one another thumbs up. All walks of
life. All Americans that love their country. Hats were taken off and hands
placed on hearts for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the National Anthem.
On the periphery some bad actors were always lurking (largely restrained by
police presence), but here in Freedom Plaza the growing thousands became
carefree, children ran and played, the elderly were given seats to rest, and
everyone did his best to make those around him feel at home. All kinds of
people from all over the country were gathered for what resembled a
community Independence Day celebration. Maybe most striking, next to the shared
love of country, was how kind, polite, and respectful the crowd of (what I am
sure became I don’t know how many) hundreds of thousands was—all day long.
“Excuse me.” “Pardon me.” “Mam, you dropped this.” “Please, go ahead.” “Can I
help you with that?” “I see you are a veteran; thank you for serving our
country.”
Read the full report here.
I wish we could have been there.

Hanson on “Biden: The Great and Powerful”
The great Victor Davis Hanson explains the bizarre Biden campaign in “Biden: The Great and Powerful” at American Greatness. From the article:
So the lightweight Biden was
reflated as a sort of centrist hot air balloon to be used to float the
hard-Left basket carriage beneath across the election defining line.
But fusion/collusion is not just a
matter of a Potemkin veneer. Biden’s agenda is a fantasy creation. His role was
to save the party from Sanders, win suburbanites, and pander to the party’s
socialist sympathizers of Antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement. That is
an impossible task because today’s Democratic Party is a conglomeration of
squabbling tribes and looney agendas.
Biden is now ordered to keep still
on the issues of the day, because what he once said to get nominated and please
the Left would lose him the election. He wants to defund the police, but not to
defund the police. He wants to phase out fossil fuels and end fracking but not
to end fracking in Electoral College-rich Pennsylvania.
The rioting, Biden insists, is due
to police brutality but not due to it entirely. Trump’s COVID policies killed
thousands, but Biden’s own bromides are either identical or would be less
effective.
And on and on, as Biden is made to
wink and nod to the Left that his only role is to get them elected before
collapsing at the finishing line.
The media thinks this will work,
and so owns the project. Biden will stay sequestered, visit a key state occasionally,
pop out of the plane to say he is “barnstorming” Michigan or Wisconsin and then
fly back into his Biden bunker for more Zoom puff interviews—and hope
progressive polls show that he can endure weekly bleeding until November 3.
Every four or five days the media
will blast the airways with, “Trump is ripping out mailboxes,” “Trump won’t
concede and will have to be forcibly removed,” “Trump insulted our war dead as
‘losers’ and ‘suckers’ as he hid from the rain to keep his hair dry.” Most
recently Bob Woodward’s book queued up for its turn of 72 hours of smears,
right after gab-bag Jeffery Goldberg’s anonymous sources faded out.
Will this joint project of progressive ideologues of the Democratic Party and the major media work?

Woke vs. awoken
photo credit: foxnews
From guest blogger Pat:
Leo Terrell was woke but now he has awoken. He's not alone.
People are seeing the destruction wrought on major American
cities by looters and rioters, led by Antifa shock troops armed with hammers,
bear spray, blinding lasers, commercial fireworks, Molotov cocktails, and more
while protected by shields, helmets, industrial quality gas masks and the
ability to blend into a larger crowd of BLM protesters for protection.
The MSM [mainstream media] support Antifa and BLM and hide from public view the violence committed by those radical groups. When Rep. Jim Jordan showed a video of the violence at a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Congress, the MSM cut away. The head of the Committee, one Jerrold Nadler, flat out denied that the protests were anything but peaceful.
But, the MSM no longer has a monopoly on the news. Citizen
journalists, bloggers, talk radio and even local TV channels are reporting on
the destruction, which largely impacts poorer neighborhoods. The locals are
figuring out that the white Antifa radicals that attacked their local
supermarket, drugstore and police precinct are not fighting to improve their
lives. Nor are the mobs that follow, under the umbrella of BLM, that loot and
destroy these neighborhood foundations.
BLM, Antifa and the MSM may be the woke darlings of today's
Democrat party but they have awoken a silent coalition of all races and creeds
that rejects divisive rhetoric and violence and wants a civil society restored.
Despite the best efforts of the woke tech giants, it will be restored on
November 4th, 2020.
