This is classic reactive crisis management. Instead of establishing the facts at the outset, NESO dimissed the allegations and is now allowing events to overtake its position. It does not inspire confidence.
This speech by @StephenM is so deeply evil it’s hard to fathom it coming from a White House employee. This is pure Nazism.
The in-group is “morally superior,” “ordered,” “beautiful” & “normal.” The out-group is “abnormal,” “scarred” & “deformed.”
The in-group goes to church on Sunday (Miller is Jewish).
The out-group is “violent,” “junkies,” & “predators”
This is precisely how the Nazis spoke about their political opposition. It is a full-throated commitment to eugenics as policy.
In reality, you just need to watch Miller to see everything he claims to be afraid of: hatred, jealousy & violence. He is the most “deformed” man in America.
Finally, when Miller brings up the boogeyman of “Antifa,” it’s important to remember the original “Antifa” were antifascists in Weimar Germany who were the first people sent to Dachau.
There is no left vs. right anymore. There is life vs. death.

“The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.
The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids who goes to church every Sunday and is filled with the feeling of inadequacy and jealousy and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress and to inflict pain and suffering.
It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who were assembled to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism.
Why is that? Why? You look at two photographs and you see a normal American street, you see an antifa protest. Why did the people that are violently demonstrating? Why is there not one normal looking person among them? Every one of them through the course of their life and their decisions has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways.
The point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred. Trust your instincts to all people and cross all civilizations. You know what normal is. You know what beautiful is. You know what good is. You know that families are right. You know that children are precious and beautiful and must be protected. You know that the criminal and the junky and the predator is a threat to normal, healthy living.
This is so much deeper than issues about taxation and regulation, although they're incredibly important. It's about normal, healthy, ordered living. And the violent leftists for these deep-seated reasons, going back to the earliest wisdom taught to us in the Bible about coveting.
And I'm not talking about rich versus poor. I'm talking about a much deeper kind of coveting. Coveting people who are morally superior. Who are superior in the simple, truthful way they live their lives. People that they look at who are happy and ordered and peaceful and contributing to the communities.
That burns an ember in them and that's how you end up with the horrors we've seen throughout history. Where good families are dragged that into the street and executed.”
Stephen Miller’s obsession with mirroring Joseph Goebbels is obvious, from the fact that Miller literally impersonates him, to the nearly identical language Miller uses.
Replace “Jews” with “radical leftists” in Goebbels’ infamous article “Der Jude” and you get the same result.
Two acts, one circus. This week Rick Wilson breaks down Todd Blanche's embarrassing AG hearing on the hill, and Trump's incoherent reheated 2020 election conspiracy filled speech on Thursday night. Grab a drink, you'll need it.

President Trump used to brag about all the money we were making from tariff revenue.
Last month, that trend flipped to a $26 billion loss as the government started paying back the tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal.
The refund bill is just getting started.
REAKING: Elizabeth Warren corners Trump's Fed chair nominee on who wrote him a $100 MILLION check just before his nomination – and he REFUSES to answer!
One of the strangest exchanges in Washington this week had nothing to do with Donald Trump's election speech. It involved Kevin Warsh, Trump's nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, and a simple question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
"Who gave you a hundred-million-dollar check before you were sworn in?" Warren asked. Warsh didn't answer. Instead, he repeatedly pointed to ethics disclosures and his obligations to the Office of Government Ethics.
Warren kept pressing. "Was it a billionaire who has business with the Fed?" she asked. "Was it Stanley Druckenmiller who's made billions of dollars betting on what the Fed does? Or was it a different billionaire? Who gave you the money?"
Crickets. And Warren was pissed.
"A hundred million dollars that you got just before you were sworn in, and you won't tell the American people where it came from," Warren repeated. "Somebody wrote you a check for more than a hundred million dollars."
Before we jump to conclusions, let’s remember that Warsh is as rich as a Rockefeller, and a $100 million transaction may not not be as unusual as it sounds to ordinary Americans. The former Morgan Stanley banker is married to Jane Lauder, heiress to the Estée Lauder fortune. Warsh is perhaps the wealthiest person ever nominated to lead the Federal Reserve.
The transaction could have been the sale of assets, liquidation of investments, a trust distribution, or any number of other financial transactions associated with a fortune of that size.
That said, the Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world, whose decisions affect interest rates, stock prices, bond markets, mortgages, and the broader economy.
When someone poised to wield all that power receives a nine-figure payment immediately before taking office and declines to identify the source, people naturally start asking questions.
Warsh may have a perfectly innocent explanation for the transaction – some financial arrangement common among the ultra-wealthy. But if that's the case, why the hell didn't he just give it?
Sadly, the exchange has become a hallmark of the Trump era. Congress asks a direct question, and Trump's nominees increasingly respond as though the question itself is an affront.
Confirmation hearings exist for a reason. The Senate's constitutional duty is not to applaud nominees or rubber-stamp them but to scrutinize them on behalf of the American people.
Yet time and again, Trump's appointees have treated that process with open disrespect and disdain, refusing to answer straightforward questions, changing the subject, attacking the motives of the questioner, or hiding behnd carefully crafted talking points.
Elizabeth Warren asked Kevin Warsh a simple question: who gave him a big bag of money just before he took office?
Rather than answer it, Warsh behaved as though Congress was not entitled to know.
FACT CHECK: Amid his tirade against elections Thursday night, Trump presented a voter registration drive in Michigan in the lead-up to the 2020 election as an example of the kind of large-scale voter fraud that he has railed against for years.
However, authorities have said that it didn’t lead to a single fraudulent vote being cast. https://t.co/Wr7Vnnqird
Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.
Jonathan Swan: One way of looking at last night is as the culmination of an almost six-year effort. We have some reporting in the book that, in early 2021, Trump was telling people privately that he thought he could be reinstated as president that summer and was being encouraged by some people around him that this was a possibility.
When he came back into power this term, he started to put pretty intense pressure on the intelligence community to come up with some kind of evidence that could prove the 2020 election was stolen.
Last night, one way of looking at it is that this is the best they can do. Essentially, this was their best effort to prove that case. Of course, they didn’t. But that’s the genesis of last night.

We all know this still stinks to high heaven.
Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell.
“I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

Where’s that same outrage? Does our humanity end at immigration status?
Obama has just dropped a bombshell on Trump 🔥
🇺🇸Trump at 5:00 PM: "We need $1.5 billion to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for ships to pass safely."
🇺🇸Obama at 6:00 PM: But the Hormuz was already open before the war, idiot? So what was the point of whole war? You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING.” 🔥🔥
