- We guess because AOC said it, there is a crisis at the border after all
- DLH has a couple of observations on the passing scene
This Madeline Osburn article at The Federalist identifies 8 Times The Media Said There Was No Crisis At The Southern Border We have one caveat about the lead in: AOC is not media savvy, as if she were intelligently manipulative. She is a child of the media, a predictable automaton manufactured, “parented” by the leftist media. Like a child she can sometimes expose bad parenting. Each item in her list is documented in the full article.
Now that media-savvy congressional Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have brought attention to the humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border caused by Congress’s refusal to fix our exploited immigration laws, political pundits are having to eat their own words from just a few months ago claiming that the border crisis was manufactured by President Trump as a political stunt.
Last week, before President Trump departed for the G20 Summit in Japan, he told reporters on the White House lawn that his critics are now seeing he was right all along.
“It’s humanitarian aid, it’s very important and I think that a lot of people are starting to realize that I was right when I said we have a crisis at the border,” Trump said. “…A crisis at the border wasn’t a manufactured crisis, which they were saying, it wasn’t manufactured at all. We have a crisis at the border.”
So who are the people he’s referring to? Many of the journalism world’s favorite pundits and media institutions. Here are the receipts.
1. Reporter Jim Acosta’s Self-Own at the Wall
2. ‘Morning Joe’ Described the Crisis as Manufactured
3. CNN Anchor Don Lemon, the ‘Manufactured’ Crisis Broken Record
4. Joe Scarborough: Americans are ‘Stupid’ for Believing There’s a Border Crisis
5. Anderson Cooper: The Number of Migrants Seeking Asylum Has Slowed to a ‘Trickle’

DLH : No slurs no hate crime ?!
Article by Yaron Steinbuch N Y Post July 2, 2019 NYPD ramps up patrols at Staten Island Mall in wake of attacks
“The fifth fracas broke out about 9 p.m. June 26, when two 14-year-old white girls were attacked by a group of girls described as black and about 13 or 14.
“Police don’t think race played a role in that attack, either.
“There’s nothing that elevates it to the status of a hate crime right now,” the source told the Advance. “There’s no slurs. There’s nothing to support that.”
Five “incidents”: A “…group of girls described as black and about 13 or 14…” attacked two 14-year-old “white girls”; in four other “incidents” in the same Staten Island Mall attacks were committed by “… a group of 12- and 13-year-old black and Hispanic girls…”
But, the N Y Post reports, with a straight face apparently, “police don’t think race played a role…” in any of the 5 “fracases”!
NO KIDDING?! “…THERE’S NO SLURS, NOTHING LIKE THAT…”
SO, THERE’S A NEW STANDARD FOR DETERMINING IF A “HATE CRIME” HAS OCCURRED.
GOTTA BE SOME “SLURS”. I GUESS OTHERWISE, IT’S JUST A REMARKABLE ‘COINCIDENCE’ WHEN GANGS OF ONE PARTICULAR RACIAL”PERSUASION” ATTACK VICTIMS OF A DIFFERENT RACE!
Have to keep that in mind the next time there’s a similar “incident”…whether seeming to be based on gender, race, religion, or other ‘differences’ in the attacker/victim profiles.
No ‘slurs’…no “hate crime’!

To be willing to portray himself as an unbelievably ignorant ass on national television (on FOX), Juan Williams must be paid a huge amount of money…or…he IS an unbelievably ignorant ass! DLH
