A Miami metro rider has been caught on camera viciously assaulting a lone female traveler in an unprovoked, random attack. Joshua James King, 25, is accused of beating up Andrea Puerta, 29, during the incident on September 4, leaving her with a concussion, a broken rib and bruising. Surveillance footage shows King walking onto the metro before launching the sustained attack on Puerta. The clip shows him kick her, slam her head and punch her more than 20 times.(Snip) King was arrested and is now facing three counts of aggravated battery charges. He was released on a $1,500 bond on September 10
Lindsey Graham put out a statement earlier regarding the open Supreme Court seat the Republicans are currently looking to fill. He cited the treatment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh back in 2018 while also confirming that he supports moving forward this time around. But it was later in the evening on Sean Hannity’s show that he really made news.
Graham announced not only that hearings will be held, but that the GOP already has the votes lined up to confirm whoever the nominee is. This is big news which was largely confirmed by commitments made by Corey Gardner and Chuck Grassley
A woman suspected of sending an envelope containing the poison ricin, which was addressed to the White House, has been arrested at the New York-Canada border and is also suspected of sending similar poisoned envelopes to law enforcement agencies in Texas, officials said Monday.
The letter had been intercepted earlier this week before it reached the White House. The woman was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Peace Bridge border crossing near Buffalo and is expected to face federal charges, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s plan to increase the capital gains tax could lead to a large-scale sell-off of stocks, according to economic analyses.
As part of his $4 trillion tax plan, Biden has proposed increasing the top tax rate for capital gains for the highest earners to 39.6% from 23.8%, the largest real increase in capital gains rates in history. Economic analyses show that capital gains tax hikes cause a burst of stock-selling in advance of the increase, as investors look to lock in the lower existing tax rates before they rise.
A former prosecutor on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team writes in a new book that the group failed to fully investigate President Trump’s financial ties and should have stated explicitly that they believed he obstructed justice, claiming that their efforts were limited by the ever-present threat of Trump disbanding their office and by their own reluctance to be aggressive.

President Donald Trump announced he would nominate a replacement for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday or Saturday, but some on the Left have already taken aim at one of the frontrunners, 7th Circuit Appeals Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett. On Sunday, The Washington Post‘s book critic Ron Charles suggested Barrett’s religious faith makes her a dangerous radical.
“Amy Coney Barrett, the judge at the top of Trump’s list to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has said we should always remember that a ‘legal career is but a means to an end … and that end is building the Kingdom of God,'” Charles tweeted.
Predicting the outcome of any election or political fight is dicey this year. Pre-coronavirus pandemic President Donald Trump and the Republican Senate were looking good. The summer was rough for both. The fall still looked difficult for them.
Now Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a devoted liberal and progressive icon if not idol, likely will help turn those races around for the GOP. Who imagined that she might prove to be a secret weapon for those she most opposed, philosophically and judicially?!
Of course, it seems macabre to discuss the political impact of the death of someone whose body has barely cooled. This is Washington, however. Moreover, her nominal friends are doing the same.RBG
The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg once said that ‘packing the courts’ is problematic and has said it is a bad idea when Democrats have done it in the past.Justice Ginsberg stated, “I have heard that there are some people on the Democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges. I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court. His plan was for every justice who stays on the court past the age of 70, the president would have authority to nominate another justice.
Multiple voters characterized by ABC News as undecided—and selected to pepper President Donald Trump with questions during a network town hall—are longtime Trump critics.

A crazed assailant slashed two strangers in the face without warning during a frightening eight-minute span in Greenwich Village, police said Monday.
The mayhem began when the nut came up behind a 39-year-old woman as she was walking near Sixth Ave. and W. 12th St. at 10:22 p.m. Sunday, police said. He tapped her on the shoulder then slashed her face when she turned around before running off. As medics took the woman to Bellevue Hospital with a deep cut to her face her assailant struck again just eight minutes later, attacking a 59-year-old man at the Mobil
The Catholic archbishop of San Francisco led a protest on Sunday criticizing the city's restrictions on reopening churches during the coronavirus pandemic.
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone delivered an impassioned sermon at an outdoor mass at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption after a march through the streets, calling for the right to worship indoors.
Cordileone condemned city leaders for allowing retail to operate indoors before houses of worship. "The City continues to place unrealistic and suffocating restrictions on our natural and constitutional right to worship. This willful discrimination is affecting us all," Cordileone said in his remarks posted by the church online.

Speaking to reporters before heading to Ohio Monday afternoon, President Donald Trump said he prefers the Senate hold a vote on his Supreme Court nominee before the presidential election on November 3. He will announce his choice to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg later this week. “I’d much rather have a vote before the election because there’s a lot of work to be done, and I’d much rather have it. And we have plenty of time to do it. I mean, there’s really a lot of time,” Trump said. “So let’s say I make the announcement on Saturday, there’s a great deal of time before the election
Just when you thought Mitch McConnell couldn’t become anymore of a cult figure, The Washington Post decided to give him another nickname. (Tweet) Do they think that makes him look bad? Ok, maybe calling a man who somewhat resembles a turtle an “apex predator” is a bit much, but there’s no doubt he causes liberals to break out into cold sweats. Though he’s never been a hard line conservative on some policy issues, McConnell has always been a terror for the left when it comes to appointing judges. Now, he’s staring down his third appointment in just four years under President Donald Trump because of the passing
Andrew Weissmann, former top prosecutor for Robert Mueller’s special counsel team investigating the president, lamented in an interview published Monday in The Atlantic that they could not do more.Mueller’s report, which came out in early 2019, said there was no evidence of criminal conspiracy, cooperation, or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, and declined to make a judgment on whether President Trump had obstructed justice.Weissman said that the special counsel was hampered by internal divisions and that Mueller’s integrity allowed Trump to escape accountability. “There’s no question I was frustrated at the time,”
Last year, a political party in Germany provoked controversy when it used the following painting in its election campaign to illustrate one of the reasons it was against immigration. Painted in France in 1866 and titled "Slave Market," the painting was described as "show[ing] a black, apparently Muslim slave trader displaying a naked young woman with much lighter skin to a group of men for examination," probably in North Africa.
The Alternative for Germany party (AfD) put up several posters of this painting with the slogan, "So that Europe won't become Eurabia." Many on both sides of the Atlantic were triggered by this usage; even the American museum
A man in a pickup confronted a woman stealing Trump yard signs, and she launches into a rather bizarre tirade. The passenger in Landon Holland’s truck managed to record the conversation, which they posted days ago on YouTube. The woman, a proud transplant from California in presumably a Blue State — Idaho is mentioned by a commenter — unleashes a strange stream of curse words, crass insults and threatens to call the police. Shocked and bemused, Holland asks if she’s smoking drugs, to which the sign stealer replies: “I don’t have to smoke anything to be stupid.”
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has pulled its updated guidance that the coronavirus is airborne and can travel distances beyond 6 feet – saying a draft version was posted in error on its website.

Shootings in Portland, Oregon, nearly tripled over the summer after Mayor Ted Wheeler disbanded the city’s police gun crimes unit, according to new police data. The city recorded 223 shootings in July and August, up from 77 over the same period in 2019. And a little more than halfway through September the city already had 64 shootings, or double the shootings from the same month last year. The numbers were released last week.

A year ago this month, Democrats began their impeachment crusade against President Trump because he had sought an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden's activities in Ukraine. And the rallying cry then was that any concerns about the Bidens were pure, discredited conspiracy theories.
What a difference a year makes. The GOP-led Senate Finance and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees plan to release a joint report as early as this week disclosing the results of a year-long probe into Joe Biden's stewardship of Ukraine anti-corruption policy while his son earned big money as a board member at the corruption-plagued Burisma Holdings gas firm.

Move over Boaters for Trump, here come the Amish! The Amish/Mennonite community held a pro-Trump parade in Fredericksburg, Ohio, on Saturday — replete with horses and buggies, cows, wagons, and maybe a few chickens thrown in for good measure. The parade was organized by Bikers for Trump in an effort to help “energize” Amish/Mennonite support for Trump and provide the traditionalist Christian sects a more visible voice in the 2020 election. From horse-drawn carriages to wagons decorated with Trump-Pence banners, to two guys riding steers, it was a sight to behold. “All of the enthusiasm was on Trump’s side,” one

One thing I will grant American blacks: Despite the overwhelming historical evidence to the contrary, they still seem to believe that white people are their biggest threat and that if blacks were simply to separate from white people, they’d be capable of tremendous achievements.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will lie in repose at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday after a private ceremony for family, friends and members of the court, according to a statement from the high court’s spokeswoman on Monday.
Ginsburg, who died on Friday, will lie in repose under the portico at the top of the stairs of the Supreme Court building so that mourners can pay their respects, said spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg.
On Friday, Ginsburg’s casket will lie in state in the National Statuary Hall of the Capitol on Friday, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

President Trump said Monday he would probably announce his nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court by Friday or Saturday.
“I think it’ll be on Friday or Saturday,” Trump said during an interview on “Fox & Friends,” adding that he wants to show respect for Ginsburg, who died last Friday.
“We will have probably services on Thursday or Friday, as I understand it. … We should wait until the services are over, for Justice Ginsburg, and so we’re looking probably at Friday, or maybe Saturday,” he continued.
Trump also said he is making up his mind among up to five nominees, when asked who was on his short list.
It’s 2020, so naturally a nation already beset by bitter political divisions now faces yet another Supreme Court confirmation fight, thanks to the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg at 87.
Ginsburg had a landmark legal career even before moving to the Supreme Court, where she served 27 years until her death Friday: She was a feminist hero who greatly advanced legal recognition of women’s rights.
Now the prospect that her replacement will be chosen by a Republican president and Senate has the left even more exercised than the right was when President Barack Obama nominated a moderate liberal, Judge Merrick Garland, to fill the seat of conservative great Antonin Scalia.
The mouth-frothing rage of Democrats over the possible filling of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court before Inauguration Day is shocking, but predictable, after the “Summer of Love” we’ve endured.
Now they’re threatening to “burn it all down” if Republicans fill the vacancy soon.
Hysterical RBG cultists holding vigil in Washington on Saturday night warned of a “civil war.”

President Trump pushed back when asked if he was going against Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish by appointing someone before the Nov. election, questioning if she even personally made the alleged remarks.
Speaking to Fox News’ Monday morning, the commander-in-chief made the claim while discussing why he was moving forward with a nominee to replace the liberal icon, who passed away Friday night at the age of 87.

Outside of the friendly confines of Utah, Mitt Romney is not a very popular figure in the Republican Party just at the moment.

When the New York Times published an interactive version of their 1619 Project online in August 2019, they included the bold claim that the year 1619 is the United States’ “true founding.” At some point in the last year, while defending their project from the disputes of respected historians and issuing corrections for other central claims, the paper of record quietly omitted the controversial “founding” claim from its description.

A while back, I wrote an essay suggesting that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg should make a deal with President Trump: retire in exchange for a say (some say—but only some) in whom the president would nominate to replace her, with that someone being a nominee other than Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Mr. President, it’s time to start telling the raw truth to the American people. You know it. I know it. Most voters who don’t suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” know it. Anyone with a brain and common sense knows it. If you think your choice in this election is Trump versus Biden, you’re blind, deaf, or really dumb. Biden’s not the candidate. Biden is just a placeholder. A brand name at the top to scam voters. But he will never serve as the actual president. Who’s dumb enough to not see that? The real behind-the-scenes winners will be Kamala Harris as president and Nancy Pelosi as VP.

Under the cloak of the coronavirus and national quarantine, Biden essentially had shut down his campaign from late March to the present. Ostensibly, his handlers believed that any downside of appearing to play-rope-a-dope and to avoid unscripted events was more than outweighed by not putting a sometimes frail 77-year-old man with apparent

The news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing on Friday certainly ratcheted up the 2020 crazy by several orders of magnitude, didn’t it? I was heading out to meet some friends when I saw the news on Twitter and my first thought was, “This might be the last time I can get out and have fun before ‘peaceful protests’ begin again.” The lefties wasted little time in confirming my suspicion that RBG’s death was going to do the seemingly impossible: make them even more unhinged.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed that a vote on President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court would be held in the Senate and one key lawmaker just backed him up. McConnell secured a key swing vote in the upcoming Senate confirmation hearing of Trump’s nominee to fill the seat of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on Friday. Sen. Lamar Alexander agreed that the president should move forward with his nomination and said he is ready to vote ahead of November’s election.
The left has pounced on late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s “fervent wish” that her seat isn’t filled until after the election as though it’s law that must be followed. But what they seem to have forgotten is what she said in 2016 about filling a vacancy during an election year. When the Republican-controlled Senate blocked former President Obama’s pick of Merrick Garland to fill the late Antonin Scalia’s seat, Ginsburg instructed them to proceed with reviewing the nomination. “That’s their job,” she told The New York Times in an interview. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.”

Of course, the squish squad was going to announce its intentions at the outset of this fight. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away. There’s a vacancy. President Trump wants that vacancy filled. He’s reportedly narrowed the list of candidates. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said a vote will happen. Sen.

Now that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed, the focus has shifted to filling her seat on the Supreme Court. Whether or not Republicans should move forward with this play – while they have both the Senate and the White House – is being called into question, mostly from the mainstream media and the left.

Amy Coney Barrett isn’t the only jurist on President Trump’s list of potential successors to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, but she is certainly the most feared by the left. This became clear in 2017, when Trump nominated her for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. During her Senate confirmation hearing, Democrats on the Judiciary Committee subjected her to a de facto inquisition, complete with outrageous inquiries concerning her Catholicism. Barrett’s response was eminently judicial: “It’s never appropriate for a judge to impose personal convictions, whether they derive from faith or anywhere else, on the law.”

Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, explained that “these types of ‘trainings’ not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce.”
CNN anchor Brian Stelter credited City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo for bringing this issue to the administration’s attention through his investigative journalism, featured prominently on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Working with whistleblowers,
On September 16 the editorial board of the New York Times did the impossible. It said something nice about President Trump. “The normalization of relations between Israel and two Arab states, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, is, on the face of it, a good and beneficial development,” the editors wrote. They even went so far as to say that the “Trump administration deserves credit for brokering it.” I had to read that sentence twice to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Perhaps the world really is ending.
On Saturday night, an antifa mob of about 200 people marched in Portland, smashing windows at a Starbucks and a Chipotle, forcing a truck driver to make a black power salute, and at one point burning a “Thin Blue Line” flag, chanting “blue lives splatter.”
“F**k you, pigs!” one rioter shouted as a group of rioters lit the flag on fire. Another hinted at violently attacking the police by chanting, “Black lives matter! Blue lives splatter!”(Snip for tweet) The Portland Police Bureau reported that a march of roughly 200 people began around 9 p.m. on Saturday evening.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar recently announced the nation has made “incredible progress” in combating the coronavirus, thanks to the vigilance of the American people. On Sunday, he emphasized how well the American people have responded to the President’s call to action and taken individual responsibility during the pandemic.
He reported cases and hospitalizations are down by 50%, while deaths have declined by even greater rates.
Azar also highlighted the progress the administration has made to develop a vaccine.
Though often lost in the debate over the Electoral College, Article II in our Constitution created a system in which the people of each state actually vote for a slate of electors representing each presidential candidate. The presidential candidate whose slate wins the popular vote in each state then gets to cast its ballots to elect the president. Each state gets electoral votes equaling the number of representatives and senators. That is why the only number that truly matters on Election Day is the number of electoral votes each candidate will receive when the electors meet and vote over a month later.
The world’s rich and famous traveled to and from Jeffrey Epstein’s island in the Atlantic for years. Today the AG for the US Virgin Islands demanded the logs on all flights to and from the island for the past few decades.
The Attorney General for the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a home, has demanded logs for his four helicopters and three planes, from 1998 to his suicide last year.
Here is the latest from Joe Biden: he misread his teleprompter, and pronounced that by the time his speech was over, 200 million Americans–two-thirds of our population!–will have died from COVID-19, and it is all President Trump’s fault:
If you need more proof that Joe Biden is a teleprompter puppet, here it is.
"It’s estimated that 200 million people will die, probably by the time I finish this talk."
He just said 2/3 of the US will die by the time he’s done talking & blamed Trump. pic.twitter.com/t1sl3vSF58

The Covid-19 Election
replies
Three elections ago — all the way back in 2008 — Joe Biden talked a lot about “kitchen table issues,” the questions that faced American families that were so important that they talked about them around the kitchen table. They are the questions, Biden told us, that decide presidential elections.
The 2020 election presents us with the mother of all kitchen table issues, the Covid-19 pandemic, because it directly affects everyone’s lives. How much danger do we have of getting the disease or even dying from it? Does dad or mom — or both — still have a job? If not, how can we pay our bills?
The 2020 Emmys gave host Jimmy Kimmel and presenters an unusual challenge. Thanks to the pandemic, the ceremony had to proceed with none of the usual pomp and circumstance of a live audience. Here’s a breakdown of what worked — and what flubbed — during the 72nd Emmy Awards. Best: The screen room Host Jimmy Kimmel, 52, opened the ceremony by delivering his monologue to an apparently full audience sans masks or social distancing that confused viewers at home. However, he soon revealed it was old footage (with the real audience being a mix of empty chairs and cardboard cutouts),

United States Postal workers who deliver mail in some of Chicago’s more violent neighborhoods are threatening to halt their services after a mail carrier was shot in the city’s South Side earlier this month.
The carrier, a 24-year-old woman, was left critically and injured after being shot multiple times at 91st Street and Ellis Avenue while delivering mail on September 10. Police said the worker did not appear to be the target and had been caught in the crossfire during a drive-by. Chicago’s WSL-TV reported that she was the second mail carrier wounded by gunfire on that route. Another mail carrier, also caught in the middle of gunfire,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi left some viewers scratching their heads after what seemed like a brief communication issue during a Sunday morning news show.
During an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Pelosi, D-Calif., was asked whether she and House Democrats would move to impeach President Trump in an effort to stop his U.S. Supreme Court pick from being confirmed to the bench -- following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now, but the fact is we have a big challenge in our country,” Pelosi said.
Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined forces in Brooklyn on Sunday to issue a “fervent plea” that Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court remain vacant until after the November presidential election.Speaking from the late justice’s alma matter, James Madison High School in Midwood, Ocasio-Cortez said Dems need to use “every tool at our disposal” to block a Senate confirmation hearing for any potential replacement nominated by President Trump.“We need to make sure we mobilize on an unprecedented scale to ensure this vacancy is reserved for the next president,” she said.

Classes in Marxism have long been compulsory in Chinese universities, normally welcomed by tired students as an excellent chance to catch up on their rest. But now, in 2018, students and workers alike are suffering a new imposition: the need to study Xi Jinping Thought. The ideas of Xi, China’s most personally powerful leader since Mao Zedong, are increasingly mandatory and have even been enshrined in the country’s ever-changing constitution Correction*
