<\/p>\nRUSH: The White House just announced that the speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, will not even have a conversation with President Trump about the government shutdown and any of the proposals to end it. Why is anybody surprised over this? You know, my degree of frustration here is mounting. And it\u2019s all rooted in the fact that there are apparently still so many people on our side who do not instinctively understand who the left is, who the media, who the Democrat Party is — what their tactics are, what their objective is — and therefore don\u2019t seem to be even engaged in the concept of beating them, of defeating them, of stopping them, of beating them back.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite all of the evidence over I don\u2019t know how many years that have led into decades, we still, apparently, have people that continuing to hold out hope that they\u2019re reasonable, that they\u2019re honest, that they can be approached as reasonable people, when they can\u2019t be. Now, I understand the White House saying Pelosi won\u2019t chat. I mean, there\u2019s a PR reason for doing this, and I\u2019m glad they did. Don\u2019t misunderstand. But the idea that anybody expects Pelosi to be reasonable here is absurd.<\/p>\n
The idea that anybody thinks there\u2019s a deal to be made here by being reasonable, by according them respect is absurd. According them respect… We\u2019re dealing with a bunch of bullies here! No matter where we go, no matter what we see, we\u2019re dealing with a bunch of bullies! I want to ask you to imagine some things along with me, if you will. Imagine if Catholicism and Christianity were treated with the same respect as Islam in the Drive-By Media and in social media. Imagine if “Make America Great Again” hats were treated with the same respect as hijabs.<\/p>\n
Imagine if threats against conservatives were treated with the same concern as threats against homosexuals. But, no, instead Twitter, which is the cesspool and the sewer that keeps all of this destructive drivel and crap alive and blossoming. Twitter is refusing to delete the numerous calls for violence against the Covington Catholic students. There are countless calls for violence that Twitter will not pull down. They are still there. They\u2019re still being posted.<\/p>\n
Twitter has pulled down the original post that got all of this started, but they will not pull down any of the numerous calls for violence against the Covington Catholic teenagers. The children. Imagine if the left\u2019s concern for the children was actually genuine, which, of course, it isn\u2019t. Twitter is also refusing to suspend the accounts of those making the threats. Meanwhile, the Covington Catholic High School has had to close today for security reasons, and guess what?<\/p>\n
Nathan Phillips and the American Indian Movement have canceled their protest at the school. Since there\u2019s no kids to harass, I guess the American Indian Movement isn\u2019t gonna show up. There\u2019s no reason to protest if there aren\u2019t any kids to bully and to lie about. The rest of the Drive-By Media are saying they\u2019re not sure if the school had to close due to safety concerns or because of the weather. Right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
No, no. The media is leaving open the possibility the school is closed today because of weather, not for security concerns, even though the principal of the school wrote a letter to parents saying they were closed because of security concerns. Robert Rowe, the principal. The letter that he sent to the parents reads, \u201cAfter meeting with local authorities, we have made the decision to cancel school and be closed on Tuesday, January 22, in order to ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff. All activities on campus will be canceled for the entire day and evening.”<\/p>\n
So the left wins here, lying and making up an entire scenario advanced by the Drive-By Media, knee-jerk agreed to by people who should have known better who are today themselves apologizing for their knee-jerk behavior. \u201cStudents, parents, faculty and staff are not to be on campus for any reason,\u201d The principal\u2019s letter said. \u201cPlease continue to keep the Covington Catholic Community in your prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the concerns was due to the fact that some Indians had planned to hold a protest at the high school. Their protest has since been moved to outside the diocese of Covington as a safety precaution. Well, they can\u2019t, \u2019cause there\u2019s no kids to bully, is why. Now, I want you to imagine something else. I want you to imagine if Barack Hussein O had been president and this took place. As bad as it has been, it would have been 10 times worse. Do you know who would be at the White House today?<\/p>\n
Nathan Phillips, the frail Indian leader banging on his war drum in the face of that teenager, Nathan Phillips, would be at the White House today being honored for courage and bravery and would be held up as a role model for all of America to follow. That\u2019s what would be going on today. If Barack Obama were president… And I\u2019m mentioning all this as a reminder of why it\u2019s so damn fortunate for everybody that Hillary Clinton was not.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Because if she was president, the same thing would be happening. Nathan Phillips and maybe even some of the Black Israelites that were really the instigators, maybe they would be at the White House, too, as the heroes, as the people concerned with civil rights and human rights and climate change and whatever the hell else they could throw in the bag. And from the White House we would be getting continued condemnation of the teenagers of Covington High School and Catholicism and white privilege.<\/p>\n
This is not happening today because Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton. I just want you to imagine how much worse it could be, and I want you to keep in mind what the stakes here are. “Hands up, don\u2019t shoot.” Anybody remember that? That was a total fraud. Can I remind you of the roots of “hands up, don\u2019t shoot”? I don\u2019t want people to forget these things. A young black man in Ferguson, Missouri, was supposedly — after robbing a convenience store — walking down the street on a beautiful Saturday afternoon contemplating his first year at college.<\/p>\n
When all of a sudden, an evil white cop drove up and told him to get out of the street and to get on the sidewalk. And the young man was so engrossed in his future college life that he didn\u2019t immediately obey, and so the evil white cop just pulled out a gun and shot the innocent young black student contemplating his first year at college. None of this was true. He had indeed robbed a convenience store. He was stopped by the cops for a host of legitimate reasons and attempted to take the gun away from the cop.<\/p>\n
That became “hands up, don\u2019t shoot.” That became an orchestrated lie and fraud that resulted in who knows how much tumult and chaos throughout Ferguson, Missouri, throughout the St. Louis and the state of Missouri legal system. And it was all made up. And then that led to protests with protesters from Oakland and Baltimore and all over the country showing up, destroying businesses, neighborhoods, threatening people all on the basis of a lie.<\/p>\n
Even St. Louis Rams football players were running on the field during pregame introductions, showing solidarity with the “hands up, don\u2019t shoot” movement. And just like this that happened in Washington on Saturday, it was all made up, it was all a fraud, and guess who was there promoting both of them? The American journalism community, otherwise known as the Drive-By or mainstream media. The mainstream media has gotten so many things wrong just in the past two years that it has become impossible to list them all in a readable article.<\/p>\n
