Top Secret Meeting of Mainstream Media, Big Tech, and Intelligence Heads Is Taking Place This Week In Idaho
"Every time people talk about the Mainstream media conglomerates secretly collaborating with each other. Visions of smoke-filled rooms and shadowy figures wearing expensive suits sitting around a table come to mind. Well, this may be an exaggerated expectation at the behind-the-scenes look at the issue, but it isn’t all that far from the truth.

Every July since 1983 a small group of media moguls, tech titans, investors, politicians, and intelligence agency insiders, all gather in the small town of Sun Valley, Idaho, for a week of meetings to develop the consensus regarding policies for Mainstream media, social media, and emerging communications technology."

Well, it certainly lookslike a diverse group.../s

#1  Numbers like that are sufficient to assure a Biden re-election. (Well, those numbers and Dominion machines...)

#4  What has Joe done to hack off the Australians, I wonder?

The Australians are quite worried about China, and with good reason. They would like the US to play a strong role, but have to be worried about all the signs that China has bought and paid for goodly chunks of the Biden regime.

Cori Bush claims Black Americans aren't free
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On the Fourth of July, while Americans celebrate their independence, "Squad" member and Congresswoman Cori Bush
...a member of the progressive Squad. Born in St. Louis, Bush represents Missouri's 1st congressional district that includes all of the city of St. Louis and a large part of northern St. Louis County. Cori sez America is Racist AF...
claimed on Twitter that black Americans are not free.

"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people," wrote Bush.
She's new to the squad. To catch up, she's gotta say a LOT of stupid things in a short period of time
"This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free," she added.

While yes, the original Independence Day may not have freed black slaves back in 1776, the United States of America in 2021 is a country where Americans, regardless of color, are free to live their lives as they choose.

Black Americans, like Bush, are free to serve in the government. Former President Barrack Obama served as the commander-in-chief for eight years. 57 of the 435 House Representatives are black.

Her comment fails to take into consideration that if black people in America truly were not free, why would black people around the world immigrate to the Untied States?

According to the Migration Policy Institute, 10 percent of those who immigrated to the US in 2019 were black.

Twitter users were quick to point out these inconvenient facts to Bush.

Only in America could a wealthy black sitting congresswoman lack this much self awareness and be applauded for it.

#1  How would you feel if you were an exceptionally talented black person. People would not respect your superior IQ, they would say you were just an affirmative action charity case!

#2  Pretty sure the above mentioned Cori Bush doesn't have to worry about that.

#3  feel free to shut the fuck up

#4  They should sandblast the zits off her face; more pockmarks than the moon.

#5  Well, are they?

#6  What the fcuk was Vanessa Williams going on about then?
Posted by: Dron66046 || 07/05/2021 7:14 Comments || Top||


#8  Well, stands to reason - if they were free, they'd leave.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 07/05/2021 8:38 Comments || Top||

#9  They're free to leave, can't play the victim card as much anywhere else as you can here these days.
Posted by: Chris || 07/05/2021 11:00 Comments || Top||

#10  I might agree that this land is stolen, but it wasn't from her people.

#11  There is always Libera for you to go to. Otherwise shut the fuck up.
Posted by: DarthVader || 07/05/2021 11:17 Comments || Top||

#12  Cori, one of the many nice things about America is that you don't need an exit visa to emigrate. Unlike some countries, you are free to go to any country that will take you.

#13  Cori Bush
I never forget a face...
Posted by: Maggie Angavinter7843 || 07/05/2021 11:39 Comments || Top||

#14  Her talk is just an attempt to make her constituents feel angry so that they and the liberals will vote for her. Most of the politicians are in it for my money anyway.

#15  LBJ bought most of them and every Democrat policy since then try to keep them on the entitlement plantation. The tragedy of Obama has been that ace relations have devolved back towards mutual distrust and hate for many. Exactly where the CCP/Marxists want it, because we are severely fractured now.

#16  No they aren't, most are still slaves to the Democrats, you just can't see their collars anymore.

#17  The Human Project, or, Hope in the Calliope

"The problem, my friends, isn't residents,
But long-absent landlords and presidents:
Supremacist whites!
Your disfunction and fights?
These are simply historical resonance."

#18  Social Housing, or, Pardon Our Donkey Dust!

Who else would assist us so surely
Or ethnically cleanse us so purely?
Who'd build for our race
Such a wonderful place?
"Ja, und Vaterland nenn' es, natürlich!
