Sundowner’s Syndrome consumes AZ newspaper

Failing Arizona Republic contrives to divert attention from Biden’s missteps

Occurring at end of life, Sundowner’s Syndrome is a disease often accompanying dementia where patients reject nourishment and hasten their own demise. 

The seriously declining, Trump-hating, Hillary-endorsing Arizona Republic, consumed by blatant loathing of Republicans, exhibits signs of the debilitating disease.  A recent weekend edition was a tribute to vacuous nothingness, though featuring a multi-page, pre-written report, stretching over several days, focusing on a fugitive killer who brutally murdered his wife and children and then blew up their Scottsdale home in 2001. This tragic but ancient news took precedent over covering the radical Joe Biden administration’s previously unimaginable political overreaches, gaffes and missteps on the world stage.

The far leftist newspaper which routinely eviscerates Arizona’s Republican members of congress, and other GOP elected officials, as it slobbers praise on the democrats, still runs regurgitated columns by Clay Thompson who died in 2018, no longer requiring a salary or benefits.

A front page report covers the Tucson police chief being selected by the Biden administration to head U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The two-page report uses the second sentence to describe Chris Magnus as a “critic of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.” That single fact makes Magnus worthy of praise. On ICE’s webpage, it used the correct term “illegal aliens,” which will no doubt disappear when Magnus is sworn-in.

Magnus’ nomination is placed beside an article declaring the black community’s distrust of COVID vaccine is based on Tuskegee memories dating back to 1932. Inexplicably, the word black always rates being capitalized, while white remains lowercase.

 Ethnicity is the driving force behind every report and hiring decision at the “inclusive” Arizona Republic newspaper, surpassing accuracy and content. The dying and homeless daily is committed to its own demise.

Dem’s $12 trillion perpetual victimhood scheme buys party loyalty

Reparations for slavery is newest machination

The American Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, when Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. The event marked the abolition of slavery in the United States. Jefferson Davis, a democrat, was the president of the confederacy. Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s first Republican president, ran and was elected based on his opposition to slavery.

That 156 year history gets muddled when in the hands of congressional democrats in 2021.

Many Americans trace their family’s arrival to the European immigration facilitated at Ellis Island at the turn of the last century. Influxes arrived on our shores, learning English, working diligently and embracing American history as their own. Mostly working class, they strived to ensure their children received college educations, understanding that was the pathway to a successful future. Asians, subjected to the bigoted Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 eventually arrived on the West Coast and became successful, contributing Americans. Not a single one of the newcomers, many discriminated against themselves, were slaveholders. Neither were the decades of Americans who preceded or followed them. 

But the democrats have another ace up their collective sleeve. Opening the southern border to hundreds of thousands of Central Americans is just the tip of their financial giveaway. The illegal aliens have been deemed eligible for enormous benefit packages, not the least of which is cash payouts.  

Pay attention to the scam The Washington Examiner headlines in its recent report, “House set to vote for slavery reparations commission.” The ultimate objective is that those of us who never owned slaves, will be paying reparations to those who never were slaves.

Though the concept is preposterous, H.R. 40 has 175 democrat co-sponsors, including Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ CD 2) who will not be running for reelection due to repeated, debilitating falls related to her admitted alcoholism for which she has sought treatment and Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ CD 3) who was frequently drunk at work and is on record paying off a victim of his sexual harassment.

Far left AZ Republic manufactures news to fit its agenda

Today’s edition of the Republican loathing local newspaper headlines a Page One story with an intended to be incendiary account of campaign donations to two GOP members of the Arizona Congressional delegation by U.S. Rep. Matt Goetz, in what is an absurd attempt to smear them with guilt by association. The newspaper accuses them of “remaining silent” regarding the non-issue.

Florida Congressman Matt Goetz is a Republican, which is the first strike against him as coverage in the hard left media goes. This survey of reporters, reported in Politico, was taken prior to the sweeping election of President Donald Trump, so the 7% who identified as Republicans has no doubt dropped since then.

Goetz has been accused of crimes involving underage girls, which he vociferously denies. The double standard is clear as it relates to democrats such as New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, who survived despite a DOJ investigation alleging he used underage prostitutes on numerous trips to the Dominican Republic which were “specific and corroborated.” He remains in the U.S. Senate.

A hard-core leftist originally appointed to the senate seat, Menendez also survived an ethics complaint and then voted to permit legal status to illegal aliens convicted of domestic violence, crimes against children and crimes relating to the illegal purchase or sale of firearms.

As president, democrat Bill Clinton engaged in a sexual relationship with a 22-year-old White House intern, survived a cursory impeachment for suborning perjury and remained in office. The newspaper lavished him with praise and endorsed his wife, Hillary, for president in 2016.

Recently freshman California Congressman Eric Swalwell was exposed for engaging in a romantic relationship with a Chinese spy. But the democrat cemented his valuable asset status as he joined the unified democrats in passing the disastrous overreach H.R. 1, the nearly 800-page bill deceptively titled, For the People Act,  that received not a single Republican vote according to the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Freshman Arizona U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, a democrat who has $multi-million business connections in China, and received campaign funding from Socialist billionaire George Soros, which was never a problem for the radically left Arizona Republic, which worked double time to see this charlatan elected.

Intentionally deceptive coverage of Capitol Police officer’s murderer

Unreliable news coverage fosters false narrative of killer

The headlines tell a sly story, leaving out pertinent information. Following the murder of Capitol Police Officer William Evans, an 18-year-veteran of the force, who died Friday after a motorist rammed a barricade and lunged at him with a knife, and was finally killed, there was a unified pall over the coverage. Another officer was injured in the attack.

Once again, the facts didn’t fit the narrative the leftist media has nimbly honed into an art-form. White guys are gun crazed maniacs and “people of color” are victims of “systemic racism,” the latest in trendy marginalizing terms. Typical of the headlines broadcast by major news outlets was the bland, “Capitol threat suspect identified as 25-year-old Indiana man.” A former neighbor in an apartment complex where he previously lived described the killer as, “a nice, young, friendly guy.”

In fact the “nice Indiana man” was Noah Green, a member of the Nation of Islam and devotee of notorious hatemonger Louis Farrakhan and its anti-white theology.  He posted on his website as Noah X (replicating Malcolm X, another Nation of Islam zealot who advocated separatism rather than integration in the 1960s).  In January, Green applied to legally change his name to Noah Zaeem Muhammad. Such significant information took second stage to informing us that Green graduated from Christopher Newport University with a degree in finance and was a defensive back from Covington, Virginia, where he attended Alleghany High School.

In March, ten people were killed, including a police officer, when a gunman opened fire at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. Though the mass murderer was Syrian born Muslim Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, VP Kamala Harris’ niece tweeted: “The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country,” which she was forced to delete.

Just days ago, four people were killed, including a 9-year-old boy who died in his mother‘s arms as she tried to save him, when Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez opened fire in an office building courtyard in Los Angeles. Law enforcement officials said Gonzalez used a bike lock to hold the gates closed, requiring officers to bring bolt cutters to the scene to gain entry.

Until we respond to this intentionally skewed reporting by speaking up and not supporting it, it will continue and proliferate. Call the editors and station managers and let them know that you will watch, read or listen to other news sources and why.  Silence is acquiescence.

Biden’s handlers pick politically correct Fed. Judges

Gender, ethnicity, religion, advance as top qualifiers for the federal bench

Frail Joe Biden’s handlers have announced the administration’s first slate of 11 federal judicial nominations to fill federal circuit and district court vacancies. Legal qualifications are incidental, though the list referred to in a statement as “groundbreaking“ and “trailblazing,” focused on their “broad diversity of background experience and perspective.”

 Nine of the nominees are women. Three are identified as black, others as a “Muslim American and an Asian American and Pacific Islander.”

The black women nominated for federal circuit court vacancies include Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Tiffany Cunningham for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Candace Jackson-Akiwumi for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Regina Rodriguez has been nominated for the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.

Firsts matter.  Zahid N. Quraishi, a New Jersey magistrate judge, would be the nation’s first Muslim American of Pakistani heritage to serve on a federal district court. Judge Florence Pan would be the first Asian-American judge to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Judge Rupa Ranga Puttagunta, an East Indian-American, appointed by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser as an Administrative Judge for the D.C. Rental Housing Commission is also on the PC list. 

Is a fair trial possible for ex-officer Derek Chauvin?

The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, charged with second-degree and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of violent career criminal and repeatedly incarcerated*George Floyd, is scheduled to start this morning. Three other former officers who witnessed the incident will be tried together in a separate trial scheduled for Aug. 23, 2021.

Chauvin’s defense attorney will be eclipsed by four prosecutors led by DNC chief, Minnesota Attorney General and former congressman Keith Ellison. He was also elected despite allegations of abuse from his former girlfriend.

Jury selection was hampered by widespread knowledge of the ill-timed, and many would argue — ill-conceived — $27 million settlement the Minneapolis City Council unanimously voted to award Floyd’s family.

On cue, Rev. Al Sharpton, a radical race-baiter who’s never had a congregation, organized hundreds to a Sunday night prayer vigil to “honor” George Floyd on the eve of the murder trial.

Unemployed 46-year-old George Floyd, aka Floyd Perry, was resisting arrest as he was apprehended for attempting to pass a counterfeit $20 dollar bill in a store. As his autopsy report verifies, he was 6’4”tall, weighed 223 pounds, tested positive for COVID-19 and was high on drugs. Yet he became the rallying cry for malicious BLM looters and arsonists who mounted destructive demonstrations in numerous American cities, and called for defunding the police.

Will this Minneapolis police body cam exonerating footage be shown at the trial? It needs to be.

Biden speaks! Fawning press lobs softball questions

On Thursday, day 65 of his presidency, hidin’ Joe Biden finally emerged to read from crib notes, sometimes going blank and stumbling. He was never challenged by the leftist reporters, taking questions from only ten of the few allowed in, while tactically omitting acknowledging FOX News‘ Peter Doocy. Photos of pre-selected reporters with their names and notes were seen on one of the pages he was shuffling through in a binder on the podium. Both the “cheat sheets” detailing key policy points and the identities of attending journalists are clearly depicted by Fox News.

Taxpayer-subsidized PBS’ leftist reporter Yamiche Alcindor was enthralled as she both gushed and lied with this toadying statement:

“You’ve said over and over again that immigrants shouldn’t come to this country right now. That message is not being received,” she deceptively stated. “Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors.”

There is nothing moral, decent or humanitarian about incentivizing people to embark on dangerous trips with criminal drug cartels, who often abuse those who paid to be transported. The most recent number of unaccompanied minors being held in stretched-to-the-limit border facilities is 16,000.

In fact, Biden, who said he’d “spent 120 years in the senate” campaigned on opening the border, an issue he’s reneging on as president. The tightly scripted press conference was a continuation of Team Biden’s campaign basement strategy — preventing impromptu interactions, keeping him on note cards, staying away from any specific numbers. 

During his first speaking appearance, he said nothing about the economy, jobs, or reopening America’s schools, and implied the filibuster, which the democrats now want to eliminate, is racist, a remark that went unchallenged.

When sycophantically asked if he planned on running for reelection, 78-year-old Biden, who has exhibited cognitive difficulties throughout the campaign, said, “My plan is to run for reelection. That is my expectation.” Biden would be 82 on Jan. 20, 2025, Inauguration Day for the winner of the next election. Bets are he won’t serve out this complete term.

Asked whether he expects to face former President Trump in another general election campaign, Biden blathered, “I have no idea. I have no idea if there will be a Republican Party.”

Despite his struggles, radically left Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, remained enthusiastic, declaring the president “excelled” while the media, which coddled him, “did not succeed in knocking Biden off message.”  Clearly enfeebled Biden had no message. He had prepared scripts from which he read and for which was strenuously rehearsed  during preparatory mock sessions.

The so-called “press conference” was such an embarrassment, the far left, Biden-supporting  local newspaper relegated the coverage to the bottom of page six.

Biden is not a president, he’s a farce.

Media cover-up: Colo. supermarket killer was a Syrian-born Muslim

Colorado massacre spurs Dem’s renewed gun control efforts

Within hours of the Boulder, Colorado deadly supermarket shooting that killed ten people including a police officer who was the father of seven, democrats on Capitol Hill began using the tragedy to launch Second Amendments rights restrictions.

The shooter, described by the networks as “another white male” is actually Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a Syrian-born Muslim. The leftwing local newspaper blandly headlines the mass murderer Alissa as “a 21-year-old Colorado man.” Mentioning that he is a Muslim from Syria doesn’t fit its narrative.

His family is already working on providing an alibi, saying Alissa is delusional and believed people were following or chasing him, which they claim may have contributed to the shootings. A former high school classmate said Alissa, then on the school’s wrestling team, told fellow teammates he was going to kill all of them, but, “no one believed him or did anything about it.”  Surely they must have heard about the Columbine High School massacre and the Aurora theater carnage, both of which occurred in Colorado.

In Washington, D.C., Sen. Chuck Schumer declared he was already committed to sending a universal background check bill to the U.S. Senate. Joe Biden is said to be considering signing another executive action, that restricts the rights of law abiding gun owners — bypassing congress. So desperate are they to curtailing our constitutional freedoms, they could run the two items concurrently.

For a memory jogger, check out this 2012 SRAZ post  titled, “Them Dem Hypocrites,” which comes complete with photos of leading Second Amendment restrictionists and their guns. Chuck Schumer is featured. Barack Obama is pictured with his rifle in the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

When she was Barack Obama’s Homeland Security chief, Janet Napolitano the far-left former Arizona governor, issued a scathing Department of Homeland Security report identifying American returning military vets as  “Right-wing extremists” who pose national security threats. Napolitano claimed, “Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists.”  It’s still available and can be read under the link

Mesa AZ has charlatan Mayor John Giles leading the city

Appearing Sunday on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Mesa Arizona’s Republican Mayor John Giles says that he has been “impressed so far” by the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis. The Hill has the dialogue in print.

Either Giles isn’t paying attention, impresses easily or thinks halting construction of the border wall and allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to invade the USA is somehow beneficial — especially during the Coronavirus pandemic and as millions of Americans remain unemployed and new jobless claims are historically high. The Washington Examiner reports the Biden administration is opening another overflow facility to house illegals near the U.S.-Mexico border, where thousands of unaccompanied minors, facilitated by members of well-paid drug cartels, are continually breaching our sovereign border. Others, known as OTM and SIA, acronyms for illegal aliens who are ‘Other Than Mexican’ or ‘Special Interest Aliens’ are from places far removed from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. U.S. Border Patrol agents have apprehended invaders from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan, and Yemen. Not only is this unacceptably dangerous, we are then on the hook for the costs to accommodate their basic needs, and educate their children, while the adults flood our depressed labor market, undercutting American wages. 

Mexico disallows the U.S. to send citizens from other countries back through Mexico. Under U.S. law, they’re entitled to a formal deportation hearing. The immigration service lacks beds to hold them, so the vast majority of OTMs are released from custody and asked to voluntarily return for their court date. Guess how that turns out.

This Breitbart headline says it all: “ Mesa, AZ Mayor Giles: ‘I’ve Been Impressed So Far’ with Biden Administration on Border Surge.”

The good people of Mesa who thought they were voting for a Republican and found they got a Biden admirer instead, should consider kicking this charlatan to the curb with a Constitutionally permissible recall. 

Mesa residents, who deserve better, can and should do it!

Fed. Judge accuses media of “one-party control of the press…

….which poses a threat to a “viable democracy.”

In the course of his partial dissent in a libel case, D.C. Circuit Court Judge Laurence Silberman issued a scorching rebuke of the news media writing:

 “Although the bias against the Republican Party — not just controversial individuals — is rather shocking today, this is not new; it is a long-term, secular trend going back at least to the ’70s,” Silberman opined. “Two of the three most influential papers (at least historically), The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets. And the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction. The orientation of these three papers is followed by The Associated Press and most large papers across the country (such as the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe). Nearly all television — network and cable — is a Democratic Party trumpet. Even the government-supported National Public Radio follows along.”

The judge didn’t include the radically left-wing Arizona Republic by name, but his stinging reproach couldn’t individually name every newspaper worthy of being declared an arm of the democrat party. The Republic relegated its coverage of Judge Silberman’s statement to the single USA Today page, devoting one column and all of eight sentences to the judge’s wisdom.

Judge Silberman cited Fox News, The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal opinion and editorial pages as the “few notable exceptions to Democratic Party ideological control.”

You’ll be rubbing your eyes thinking you misread the remarkable indictment, but the facts are substantiated by Fox News reporter Joseph A. Wulfsohn’s article, “Federal judge warns ‘dangerous’ media has ‘very close to one-party control’ in blistering libel case dissent.”

It’s definitely worth your time to read this all too rare condemnation of the leftist media.

Judge Silberman was appointed to the federal bench in October 1985 by President Ronald Reagan and took senior status on November 1, 2000. On June 11, 2008, President George W. Bush awarded Silberman the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Americans are fortunate to have senior status Judge Silberman seated on this case. No longer concerned with political correctness, he brilliantly used this opportunity to amplify the truth.
