The Atlantic’s majority owner has donated over $1.2 million to Democratic candidates and political committees since 2019 while reportedly keeping in close contact with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, who published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump denigrated fallen American soldiers. Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, obtained a 70% stake in The Atlantic in 2017 through her firm, the Emerson Collective. Politico noted in its report that Powell Jobs communicates often with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
President Trump has ordered his administration to stop paying for so-called “critical race theory” diversity training in federal agencies, with a top official calling the sessions “un-American propaganda,” The Washington Times has learned.
In a memo issued to federal agencies on Friday, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought said it has come to the president’s attention that the executive branch has “spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.”

Pressure is building on the alleged anonymous sources to identify themselves after claiming to The Atlantic that President Donald Trump savaged the late Sen. John McCain and fallen World War I soldiers.In a report published Thursday that was written by the magazine’s Left-wing editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, the sources claim the president canceled a visit in 2018 to a World War I cemetery where American dead were buried because the trip would mess his hair up.He also allegedly disparaged the soldiers and Marines buried there as “losers” and “suckers” — descriptions of American dead that seem wholly out of character for a president who has gone out of his way\

Attorney General William Barr on Friday lauded law enforcement after the killing of self-professed Portland Antifa member and murder suspect Michael Forest Reinoehl, saying American cities are safer with him off the streets.
“Last Saturday, Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson was shot and killed amid the continuing violence in Portland.

Now that we’re in the home stretch to the election, be prepared for Democrats to throw everything up against the wall in their vain attempt to win.
They’re obviously already at it with the lies and the stories from anonymous “sources” who likely don’t exist.
On Thursday, The Atlantic dropped a story quoting unnamed “sources” that President Donald Trump had declined to visit an American military cemetery in France because he supposedly said it was full of “losers” who got killed. (Tweets)But guess who was spreading the fake story today? Someone who still is trying to undermine the president apparently. Peter Strzok. (Tweet)
The “story” in The Atlantic about President Trump derisively speaking of fallen U.S. troops has been widely debunked by people who were actually there, as my PJ Media colleague Matt Margolis writes, and now there’s even more reason to doubt its veracity.
Within hours of The Atlantic’s hit piece on Trump, there was a far-Left “Vote Vets” commercial on the air about it and a question about the Atlantic story was the first one asked at a Joe Biden campaign presser.
Gee, it’s as if they were working together or something.

King County, Wash.—King County Elections seeks to reach record-breaking voter turnout in this year's November general election. Officials predict 90% voter turnout for the general election, which is up from their previous prediction of 86%. The existing record is 85% voter turnout in the 2012 general election. There was an 82% turnout for the 2016 general election, according to a statement from the King County Elections office.(Snip) We’re challenging them to turn their ballot in early,” said King County Director of Elections Julie Wise. “Here at King County Elections, we want to make sure that every voice is heard.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News exclusively on Thursday that the leftist mob that surrounded him on his way out of the White House after President Donald Trump’s Republican National Convention (RNC) speech last week, along with other leftist violence in Democrat-controlled cities, could be a game-changer in this election.Asked to reflect on what happened to him and his wife Kelley Paul last Thursday, video of which Breitbart News captured on scene, Paul said that rioters and people who break the law will continue to do so until they face consequences for their actions.“People who act this way and people who
Where do Portland Antifans rest during the day between riots at night? In a hidden tent city near downtown, paid for and serviced by the city, according to a local citizen journalist. After capturing the encampment on video, the reporter was chased for several blocks by two men, one with a slingshot. The camp is one of several under the auspices of the Joint Office of Homeless Services. “It is entirely funded by the city of Portland, with start-up costs priced at $214,097 and ongoing support for all three sites expected at $155,488 monthly,” said the Portland sleuth.

A report published Thursday by The Atlantic cited anonymous sources claiming that President Donald Trump didn’t want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 because the troops there who died in battle were “losers” and “suckers. The media has largely reported on this story as though it were true or at least likely to be true.“The Atlantic Magazine is dying, like most magazines, so they make up a fake story in order to gain some relevance,” Trump tweeted on Friday. “Story already refuted, but this is what we are up against.

Protesters rallied at the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, following backlash over her recent visit to a San Francisco hair salon. On Thursday, more than a dozen women showed up outside Pelosi’s Pacific Heights mansion wearing smocks and hair curlers.

This came in protest of the video of an unmasked Pelosi walking through a salon with wet hair.

The Fraternal Order of Police on Friday endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election in 2020. The endorsement was made through canvassing the more than 355,000 members throughout the country, according to a release from the union. National President Patrick Yoes said that the endorsement was unanimous.“President Trump has shown time after time that he supports our law enforcement officers and understands the issues our members face every day,” Yoes said in a statement. “The FOP is proud to endorse a candidate who calls for law and order across our nation. He has the full and enthusiastic support of the FOP.”

Trump’s ‘Soul’ replies
Joe Biden’s campaign kicked off a round of questions with the candidate Friday by selecting an Atlantic reporter who asked him to comment on President Donald Trump’s “soul and the life he leads.” Biden, who rarely answers questions from the press, opened the floor to questions immediately after his remarks on the August jobs report, which showed the U.S. economy added 1.4 million jobs in August.He deferred to his staff to choose the reporters who would be allowed to ask questions. The first reporter was Edward-Isaac Dovere of The Atlantic.
At the beginning of the summer, it seemed to many commentators as if the riots flaring across the country were beside the point. It’s obvious why people thought it was more important to talk about the death of George Floyd under the knee of police officer Derek Chauvin than the problems of the shopkeepers in various commercial strips that had been looted or burned. Besides, bringing up the riots was apt to invite fierce criticism from people asking why you were comparing lives to property.
Now of course Black lives matter, and more than any building. But it’s not as if there is some obvious trade-off
Judicial Watch announced on Thursday that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for records that were allegedly destroyed by the Secret Service regarding a 2009 incident between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a Secret Service agent.

As a member of the USA fencing team in 1972, I looked forward to marching in the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Munich, though I had other emotions, too. I’m Jewish; the Games were being held in a country that barely more than a quarter-century earlier had been run by the Nazis. I had misgivings about the “new” Germany being let off the hook so soon after World War II—and so soon, in Olympic years, after Hitler’s display in the 1936 Berlin Games. The Munich Games of ’72 represented an enormous propaganda effort to revamp Germany’s image. But I believed in the Games.

The Biggest Scam in History

Is the new virus the biggest scam in history? There are many doubts about the official version, and skeptics or deniers are emerging all across the planet. Something good had to come from the global village of the internet to fight against the single-mindedness that too many governments are trying to impose. They may hide their smiles with an egalitarian mask, but the mind must fly free and allow itself to doubt rather than accept the new dogma. That is at least the Western tradition that was born in luminous Greece, again at war with a barbarian invasion.
Freedom has been blurred by a propaganda of fear, and government measures
For many years now, we’ve gotten mountains of press about “The Talk,” the rite of passage lecture that black parents feel obliged to give their sons so that they won’t end up getting shot by the police. Apparently, unlike white people who are always fighting with cops and resisting arrest, young black men must be purer than Caesar’s wife. (Snip)Having seen video footage of the arrests of George Floyd (fighting with cops), Rayshard Brooks (fighting with cops) and Jacob Blake (fighting with cops), it looks like at least some black men in America could use a refresher course on “The Talk.”
In the early hours of December 21, 1935, New York mayor Fiorello LaGuardia walked into the Bronx Terminal Market with a cadre of cops. As the police played a horn fanfare, he hopped onto the back of a vegetable truck and addressed the assembled farmers and peddlers. Starting December 26, New York City would institute a total ban on the sale, display, or possession of a commodity that posed a “serious and threatening emergency to the city.” This substance, at the time available in any city market, was controlled by “a monopoly of doubtful legality” (in other words, the mafia).

Law enforcement agents on Thursday killed an Antifa supporter, 48-year-old Michael Forest Reinoehl, who was a suspect in the fatal shooting of a right-wing activist who was part of a pro-Trump caravan in Portland, Oregon.(Snip)Antifa has been around for several decades, though accounts vary on its exact beginnings. The Merriam-Webster dates the term as far back as Nazi Germany, describing the etymology of ‘antifa’ as “borrowed from German Antifa, short for antifaschistische ‘anti-fascist’, in Antifaschistische Aktion (multiparty front initiated by the German Communist Party in 1932 to counter Nazism) and in other collocations”.
Aaron “Jay” Danielson was fatally shot during rioting in Portland, Ore., last month because he was a supporter of President Trump, his friend Chandler Pappas said Thursday night.The shooting was simply an act of hatred in a nation that needs to eliminate such acts, Pappas said during an appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”“I think this country needs a lot of healing,” he said. “I think everything that's going on downtown for the pawns that are down there destroying the city. I think they're just fueled with hatred.”
New details have emerged in the fatal shooting of Michael Forest Reinoehl, who was accused of gunning down a man during a political rally in Portland, according to reports and authorities.

The U.S. economy added 1.37 million jobs in August and the unemployment rate fell to 8.4 percent, providing reassurance that the labor market has kept up some of its post-lockdown momentum.Economists had forecast an addition of around 1.32 million jobs and a decline in the unemployment rate to 9.8 percent from 10.2 percent last week.
The economy has added around 10.5 million jobs in the past four months. The increase in the ranks of employed workers shows that companies ramped up hiring as the economy reopened and consumers came back to stores, restaurants, and other businesses that had been shuttered in March and April.

Living in Florida, perhaps I watch too much of The Weather Channel, but my own election natural disaster analogy resembles the tracking of a monster hurricane as it moves closer to the U.S. mainland. Based on present conditions, we know at least a Category 3 will strike late on Nov. 3 and gather strength on Nov. 4 or 5. Virtually everyone is aware of the potential for devastation, and millions are taking pro-active precautions — buying guns and ammunition.
It’s never a good sign when you’re watching a scene of street terror in yet another gut-churning YouTube video and you find yourself thinking: ‘Hang on a minute, that’s around the corner from my apartment!’ But there’s a now infamous video from last week where a mob of enraged millennials with their fists pumped in the air surrounded a lone young woman sitting outside a Washington restaurant where I often eat.

Is Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the violent far-left actually giving a massive in-kind contribution to Republicans this election cycle? Maybe. The non-stop rioting in the cities, especially along the Left Coast and now in Kenosha, Wisconsin is starting to show up in the polling. It’s the reason why Joe Biden had to come out of his bunker after the Republican National Convention; the event mentioned the rioting. It’s why CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, who endorsed the violence, said it was now time to settle down because…it was hurting Democrats.

Now that a top Democrat data analytics firm has finally confirmed that Democrats plan to claim victory weeks after the presidential election once enough of their “votes” show up in the mail to be counted, I don’t think any rational observer could view this as anything but a promise to destroy the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

In the throes of a heated national election, cities burn and innocent citizens are beat up and murdered in the street. Who is to blame?
Joe Biden offers two answers to this question.
First, he says, it is all President Trump’s fault. Then he attacks Mr. Trump for politicizing the violence by blaming Mr. Biden’s Democrat cohorts who lead those cities. Only somebody who has spent 48 years in the bowels of the federal government could arrive at that kind of demented logic. And only somebody who has spent a life in partisan politics could be so shameless.
It is true, Mr. Trump is the incumbent in this race.
You might think that people who get paid to write for prestige publications would be better journalists than mere bloggers, but then you encounter people like David Graham, who not only writes for the Atlantic, but actually teaches journalism at Duke University.

It’s tempting to attribute Joe Biden’s plummeting poll numbers in key battleground states to his dilatory denunciation of the riots that still ravage their Democrat-run cities. However, the campaign’s fatal flaw is more subtle than Biden’s tacit approval of mob violence. It is rooted in the classism that resulted in his nomination to be the Democratic standard bearer. Among the progressives who control the party it’s an article of faith that President Trump’s base consists of undereducated working-class whites. Thus, they reluctantly supported Biden’s nomination in the hope that “working class Joe” could peel off enough of Trump’s benighted blue collar support to capture the White House.
Wednesday I wrote about the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, filing a lawsuit against Harris County Clerk Christopher Hollins. His intention is to halt the county clerk’s plan to send a mail-in ballot application to every registered voter in Harris County.

At the end of the post I noted that with early voting beginning in just six weeks in Texas, the Texas Supreme Court would likely rule quickly. They did. Later Wednesday the ruling in favor of A.G.
