On Sept. 15 the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse received multiple hate/bias incident reports over discriminatory phrases written in chalk around the university. The Racquet Press spoke with three UWL students, who all are choosing to remain anonymous due to concerns with their on-campus job positions.
“This incident felt like an attack on my identity and presence on campus,” said the first anonymous student. The attack they referenced were messages written in chalk throughout parts of the UWL campus. Some of the messages written stated, “UWL college republicans” “UWL backs the blue”
On Tuesday, September 22, President Donald Trump signed a second executive order tackling the spread of ‘Critical Race Theory‘ ideology within federal institutions. The first of the two EOs, signed on September 4, takes aim at federal employee sensitivity trainings using a ‘Critical Race Theory’ curriculum; the President issued the initial EO forbidding federal funding of such trainings after journalist Christopher Rufo exposed the role of CRT in workshops at federal nuclear labs--wherein White male employees were reportedly taught that “virtually all White people contribute to racism” simply by dint of their whiteness.
“I am confident we will have a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 when Donald Trump finishes his second term,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) quipped on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.Cotton addressed the Democrat and left-wing news media allegation that President Trump will refuse to leave the White House if defeated in November’s election. He described the federal government’s ostensible investigation of alleged Russian political interference in 2016’s election as the Obama administration’s sabotaging of the peaceful transition of power to the 45th president. “This is once again the Democrats projecting,” said Cotton. “Barack Obama and his team often lauded George Bush and
With just 39 days until the election, President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden are continuing to campaign in very different ways. On Friday, the Commander-in-chief kept up his frenetic schedule, hosting four campaign events in three different states as Biden continued to lay low. While national polls shows Biden remains favorite to win the White House on November 3, Trump is taking no chances - jetting from Florida to Georgia to Washington, D.C. to Virginia within the space of 12 hours. During his action-packed day, Trump repeatedly mocked Biden for his leisurely style of campaigning, at one point stating: 'This guy never goes out.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Friday lifted all COVID-19 restrictions on businesses, including restaurants and bars, and dropped penalties for not wearing a face mask - sparking a protest among upset residents. DeSantis made the announcements during a noon press conference in St. Petersburg, and quickly drew ire from residents who protested the new protocols.He argued that threat of the coronavirus pandemic - which has surpassed seven million cases and 203,000 deaths - had eased sufficiently to allow the state to enter Phase 3 of its reopening. 'We're not closing anything going forward,' said DeSantis.
A couple were arrested after they were caught on camera assaulting two employees at a putting golf venue in Ohio on Wednesday night. A man and woman, Shaquan Foreman Antoin, 25, and Dekotha Arnold, 20, have been charged with assault and resisting arrest after the punchup at the location in Independence. The incident happened just before 11pm after Antoin's card declined. After settling his bill in cash, he then called a worker at the venue an obscenity. The employee subsequently told the pair that the manager would be brought and they would have to leave the venue as a result of their behavior,
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) praised the “brilliance” of the Black Lives Matter movement and its founders in a conversation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on Friday. Harris, who is Joe Biden’s running mate on the Democratic Party presidential ticket, was asked specifically to respond to claims that Black Lives Matter is a “terrorist” organization, which the interviewer attributed to President Donald Trump. (Trump has referred to “terrorists” in specific demonstrations, but has not called the movement itself a terrorist organization. His new black empowement policy, released on Friday, names the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations.)
Actress Jennifer Anniston is pushing a wild attack on America by leftist documentary maker Matthew Cooke who compares in a five minute video Republicans to Nazis.The star of The Morning Show jumped to her social media to praise Cooke’s screed as a “must watch” video.“This Republican goon squad worships the government,” Cooke says. “We beat you and your masters in the Civil War. We beat you on the beaches of Normandy. We beat you in Birmingham. And we’re going to beat you again.”
ABC’s Jonathan Karl gave an interview to Mediaite and demonstrated the notion of cognitive dissonance. He finds it unfortunate that people think the press acts as the Resistance to Trump, and yet, he wants to reverse his negative take on CNN White House shrieker Jim Acosta in his reporter’s memoir, insisting on reflection that Acosta’s bombastic aggression has been “vindicated.”These concepts merge together about as well as the notion of being a Planned Parenthood-endorsed “devout Catholic.”
The Atlantic issued a correction Thursday to a piece published on Tuesday outlining the apparent rise in tri-parenting arrangements and chronicling the path of an asexual activist in northern California who started a family with another married couple without dating.In an effort to normalize tri-parent cohorts, the piece first misreported that less than half of American children were living in two-parent homes, based on a Pew Research Center study that stated the opposite.“The idea that the default family unit consists of two straight parents and their children is outdated and doesn’t reflect the U.S. today,” New York writer Angela Chen first wrote for the magazine. “One 2014 Pew Research report,
A Gregg County commissioner along with three others have been arrested on charges in connection with an organized vote harvesting scheme during the 2018 Democratic primary election. According to Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, Gregg County commissioner Shannon Brown, Marlena Jackson, Charlie Burns, and DeWayne Ward were arrested. The group targeted young, able-bodied voters to cast ballots by mail by fraudulently claiming the voters were “disabled,” in most cases without the voters' knowledge or consent. The release said in total, the state filed 134 felony charges against the four defendants,
While journalists constantly blame President Trump for dividing Americans, the Democrat-controlled media and Hollywood seem to be the ones truly motivated to make Americans hate each other. Far-left actor Jeff Daniels didn’t even try to hide this fact while on The View Friday, as he rallied Democrats to stop “being nice” to the right because they’re at “war." (Video) The actor was there to promote his starring role in the anti-Trump CBS miniseries called The Comey Rule. Produced by Democrat donors, it’s based off of former FBI Director James Comey’s A Higher Loyalty memoir and Daniels painted a glowing portrait of Comey as
A bipartisan effort from Reps. Collin Peterson and Denver Riggleman seeks to codify the nine-seat Supreme Court panel of justices, and undermine attempts to expand the high court.Mr. Peterson, Minnesota Democrat, and Mr. Riggleman, Virginia Republican, introduced a constitutional amendment this week to limit lawmakers’ ability to reshape the court. The two argued that attempts to “pack the court” will only worsen partisan divisions and lead to retaliation and the deterioration of American institutions down the road.

Singer/songwriter John Legend is sending out his hot takes on the possibility of President Trump’s re-election. He is so traumatized over the mere thoughts of Trump winning four more years in the White House that he is advising Americans to leave the country. See Also: As of late July less than 10 percent of Americans showed signs of coronavirus infectionIn years past, celebrities and public officials that opposed whichever Republican was running for president have been moved to dramatically threaten to move to another country if that person won the election. They usually choose France or some other European country.
If the media unearthed a video of Donald Trump calling our military “stupid bastards,” do you think it would be running 24/7 on every cable news station? You bet it would. What are the chances, however, that this video of Joe Biden doing exactly that will ever get played on CNN? (Tweet/Video) Now, I know what you’re thinking: “That could be doctored.” Sure it could. That was my first thought as well. But then I went searching for the full context and found the whole video. It doesn’t appear doctored in the full video (below at the 1:51 mark). Further, the video was uploaded in January of 2017,
I must admit, it’s a lot of fun when CNN gets taken by surprise and they end up having to report real news rather than just their regular 24/7 anti-Trump narrative.Sometimes a little truth does accidentally slip through on their network, though, as it did today during one of their segments on the election.CNN’s Alysin Camerota was talking with voters who were talking about the key issues that were driving them to vote.But as they began to explain why they were voting for Trump, you can look at her face and she appears to be trying to hold it all together and not lose it. I’ve never seen someone blink
The Department of Justice announced Thursday that more than 300 people are now facing federal charges stemming from the violence that has occurred in cities across the country since May.In a news release, the department said individuals in 29 states and the District of Columbia would face federal charges related to a wide range of crimes.The crimes in question, according to the release, were “committed adjacent to or under the guise of peaceful demonstrations.”The DOJ said more than 40 separate U.S. attorneys’ offices have filed charges over crimes ranging from attempted murder, to arson, to assaulting a law enforcement
Since Labor Day President Trump has entertained over 187,000 supporters at his rallies and speeches.During the same period former Obama Vice President Joe Biden has entertained around 84 supporters at his events. In the 2016 election we kept track of event attendance after the Party Conventions for both candidate Trump and Crooked Hillary. We did this because the future President was setting records at seemingly every venue he visited while Hillary could barely fill half a high school gymnasium. By mid-August we determined that President Trump had 10 times the number of attendees at his rallies than Hillary did during the same time. This year it’s worse.
In a play for Black votes, President Donald Trump vowed to designate the KKK—but also Antifa—'terrorist organizations,' he announced at an event in Atlanta Friday. The president will also increase capital to Black communities by nearly $500 billion, a figure first reported by Fox News. Trump will also push to make Juneteenth, the day slavery officially ended in the United States, a federal holiday. Trump made the promises with less than 40 days before the November presidential election as he spent Friday trying to firm up support with communities of color, who tend to vote heavily Democratic.

"CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King delivered a scolding of sorts to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Friday over what King called Pelosi's "egregious" attacks against President Trump and his administration. King pressed Pelosi on her statements that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden should not debate President Trump. The speaker stood behind her remarks, but stressed that she expected the former vice president ot be "excellent" in the three one-on-one showdowns.

President Trump plans to announce that Amy Coney Barrett will be his nominee to the Supreme Court to fill the seat vacated by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, multiple sources told Fox News on Friday.
The president is expected to make the announcement during a White House event on Saturday. Barrett currently serves as a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Trump, who has a campaign rally scheduled later Friday night in Virginia, declined to say who he will announce when pressed by reporters at Joint Base Andrews. "You’ll find out tomorrow,” he said.
One lawmaker is fighting attempts to change the name of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial monument, after the U.S. Board on Geographic Names fielded at least one suggestion to do so.
A California resident has proposed changing the name of the monument to “Igmu Tanka Paha,” which means “Cougar Mountain,” TribLIVE reported on Friday. It was a name given to the mountain by the Lakota people, who also call it “Tunkasila Sakpe Paha,” meaning Six Grandfathers Mountain.
But a senior researcher for the board told the publication that even if the request for renaming was approved, it would only apply to the mountain – not the monument.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he’s had support from Hispanic-Americans in building the wall, and he likened himself to a wall between the American dream and chaos.“I tell you what, I'm like a wall. We're building the wall on the southern border. It is almost complete. I'm like a wall between the American dream --- I'll say this because it sounds nice, but it is true. Max would agree with it -- between the American dream--. I'm a wall between the American dream and chaos and a horror show. It would be very bad, very bad,” Trump said, speaking at a Latinos for Trump roundtable in Doral, Fla.

Ron Paul, the former Republican representative who ran for president three times, was hospitalized on Friday in Texas for "precautionary" reasons, Fox News has learned.Paul, 85, was speaking about the free market during a livestream on his YouTube channel when his speech began to slur earlier in the day. He is "lucid" and "optimistic," Fox News learned.
"I am doing fine," Paul said in a later statement posted to his Twitter, along with an image of him in a hospital bed. "Thank you for your concern.” (Photo)His son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, did not immediately respond to a Fox News' request for comment. But he tweeted his father was doing
80-year-old Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said President Trump is “trying to have the Constitution of the United States swallow Clorox.” House Speaker Pelosi made this bizarre claim shortly have she once again asserted that Trump told Americans to drink bleach to kill the Coronavirus. We need term limits. Pelosi also backed off and said impeaching President Trump a second time “isn’t worth the trouble at this point.” Watch: (Tweet/Video) Pelosi is not well.She short-circuited on Sunday during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.Pelosi suffered from a bizarre (medical?) episode.
On a late Thursday afternoon conference call of the left-wing group Patriotic Millionaires, group President Erica Payne urged activists to work against a coming Trump Supreme Court nominee by “mak[ing] this an unbelievably painful process for Senate Republicans” and “kick[ing] the f--- out of” Democratic senators who won’t fight hard enough.
Saying that Democrats are showing such weakness as to be “utter bull***t,” Payne acknowledged that the nominee almost certainly will be confirmed, but “the question is whether we can extract any flesh and bone in the process.”
On Thursday, South Dakota GOP governor Kristi Noem blasted MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow after Maddow had cited coronavirus statistics to attack Noem. Maddow had targeted Noem after Noem had tweeted a picture of herself shooting, captioned, “This is how we do social distancing in South Dakota.” (Tweet/Video) Maddow, quoting the Argus-Leader, tried attacking Noem, tweeting, “South Dakota has just set new records in the number of people hospitalized, new cases, and overall active cases.

Ron Paul, the Republican ex-congressman who thrice ran for the White House, suffered some kind of medical emergency in the midst of a livestreamed event Friday.
Disturbing video of the event shows Paul talking about the free market and then his speech suddenly turns to gibberish as another participant on the video call asks if he's OK. A number of people sharing the video suspected Paul had a stroke. The former presidential candidate's Twitter account sent out a 'message from Ron Paul' Friday afternoon to his more than 600,000 followers.
Hunter Biden’s Millions
replies
Last year Joe Biden made it crystal clear that his son Hunter’s myriad business dealings were not a topic of conversation between father and son.When Peter Doocy, a Fox News reporter, asked the former vice president about Hunter’s business deals, the elder Biden replied: “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”He continued: “I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him why he is on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader. You should be looking at Trump.”
President Donald Trump seems confident, despite the polls, that he will be re-elected to a second term. But whether he leaves office in 2021 or 2025, Trump has brought several unique qualities to the presidency that his successors ought to emulate.I explore these qualities — these virtues — in a new e-book, available Tuesday for Amazon Kindle: The Trumpian Virtues: The Lessons and Legacy of Donald Trump’s Presidency.I begin by reviewing the history of Trump’s presidency — so far! — in a step-by-step account, organized 100 days at a time.Then I turn to the Trumpian virtues themselves, the unique approaches that our 45th president has brought to
Joseph R. Biden declared last year on the campaign trail that he began his academic career at Delaware State University, a historically Black college, a claim that the school refutes. Carlos Holmes, director of news service for Delaware State, said that Mr. Biden was never a student, although he has made appearances twice on campus for commencement speeches at the public university in Dover, one of the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). “Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” said Mr. Holmes in a Thursday email.(Snip) “I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State—now, I don’t want to hear anything negative
Left-wing activist Al Sharpton had a “message” for social justice demonstrators who have been protesting after a Kentucky grand jury’s decision on the case of Breonna Taylor.The MSNBC host urged activists to “continue protesting” during an interview Thursday with anchor Hallie Jackson, but as downtown Louisville descended into a second night of protests, sometimes turning violent, Sharpton suggested that people keep the demonstrations “nonviolent.” (Video) “My message to the protesters, and many of them I worked with, is to continue protesting but keep it nonviolent,” Sharpton responded when Jackson asked for his message to those demonstrating in Louisville, where two officers were shot during riots Wednesday
An FBI agent who worked on the investigation of Michael Flynn and Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into “Russia collusion” told investigators that prosecutors had a “get TRUMP” attitude that distorted their inquiry into the facts.The Department of Justice released the record Thursday of a recent FBI interview with Special Agent William Barnett as part of its motion to drop the charges against Flynn. Judge Emmet Sullivan has resisted efforts by the DOJ to drop the charges. Flynn originally pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, but withdrew that plea as exculpatory evidence emerged. A review of the case by U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen uncovered more exculpatory evidence,
The national and Michigan Republican parties filed suit Thursday against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel in an effort to stop the counting of late ballots prohibited by law and changes to the rules governing ballot collection. The complaint filed by the Republican National Committee — headed by Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel of Northville — and the Michigan Republican Party asks state Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens to uphold the constitutionality of both laws. Stephens ruled last week that ballots received after Nov. 3 but postmarked by Nov. 2 could be counted.

President Trump’s plan for Black America designates the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations and calls for making lynching a national hate crime, while pledging to increase access to capital in Black communities by nearly $500 billion, Fox News has learned.
The president on Friday is expected to roll out details of what the campaign is calling the “Platinum Plan,” which details “opportunity,” “security,” “prosperity,” and “fairness” for the Black Community.
WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the first woman to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol Friday. She may also be the only person to lie in state who has had a mourner do calisthenics in front of their casket. Bryant Johnson, Ginsburg's longtime trainer, dropped and gave the Justice a quick trio of push-ups when it was his turn to approach the flag-draped coffin shortly after 10:30 a.m. ABC7 spoke with Johnson last year about his relationship with Justice Ginsburg, who he trained for more than 20 years. He said in November that she was back to
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday doubled down on her argument that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden should not debate President Trump, claiming the Republican incumbent and his "henchmen" have no "fidelity" to facts or the truth.
Asked during an interview on "Morning on CBS" whether she still believed the former vice president should skip the three scheduled debates, Pelosi said: "Oh, I do. Not that I don't think he'll be excellent. I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth and, actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States."
A door-to-door COVID-19 testing survey has been halted due to multiple incidents in outstate Minnesota of residents intimidating and shouting racial and ethnic slurs at state and federal public health survey teams. (snip) Frustration with the state’s pandemic response “is totally understandable,” said Dr. Ruth Lynfield, state epidemiologist, “but that is distinctly different than taking out frustration on another human being who is trying to help and is especially galling when there is a taint of racism. There is no justification for this — the enemy is the virus and not the public health workers who are trying to help.”
You sit in London Airport at one o'clock and eat a leisurely lunch of roast English beef and Yorkshire pudding; soon, your flight is called. You enter a long, pencil-slim fuselage. You buckle your seat belt. After 15 minutes-and 140 miles-of flight, you pass through the sound barrier, although you hear nothing. And, since the engine noise never catches up with you, you cruise silently 12 miles above the Atlantic; each second, you travel nearly half a mile.

This isn’t the first time the Biden team has called a lid super early.(Snip)If anything, this is a time when Joe should be out there talking about SCOTUS and of all things, paying his respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Without fail, Wisconsin remains one of the drunkest places in America. The beer-and-brandy soaked state consistently leads or places among the top contenders in America’s Drunkest States round-ups, and this past January, the Badger State clocked in with 12 of the top 20 entries of the Nation’s Drunkest Cities as compiled by 24/7 Wall Street. Overconsumption of alcohol is a serious matter and can be problematic on many fronts, and most states might try to quickly bury such headlines from the daily news cycle, but Wisconsinites wear this black eye like a badge of honor after a bar fight.

Well, son of a bitch. It turns out that there was plenty of concern within the Obama-Biden administration in respect of the dealings of the Vice President’s son, Hunter, in Ukraine. Not to mention the younger Biden’s dealings with Communist Chinese nationals.

Several outlets identify 11th U.S. Circuit Court Judge Barbara Lagoa as a leading contender to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. President Trump has described her as “highly thought of . . . I don’t know her but I hear she’s outstanding.”

Quite a bit of attention today to a release of information by Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham [LINK HERE]. However, missed in most reviews is a duplicitous motive for Graham to claim “the primary source for the Steele dossier was likely a Russian agent.”In essence, Graham is promoting a defense previously explored by James Comey that investigative elements of the FBI were duped by a Russian disinformation campaign; and as a consequence their investigative efforts were done under the most honorable of motives, but they were just tricked by Russians. Ergo, see the Russians did interfere in the election.

A few days before the 2016 presidential election, when all signs pointed to a Hillary Clinton victory over Donald Trump, Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett offered a few thoughts on how the winner of the race could shape the Supreme Court. After commenting at length on the type of justices Clinton might nominate, Barrett finally said to her audience, “What would we have in a Trump court? With a chuckle, she answered her own question, “Who knows?” Four years after Barrett’s lecture at Jacksonville University’s Public Policy Institute, we now know.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democrats in of the House of Representatives will introduce a bill next week to limit the tenure of U.S. Supreme Court justices to 18 years from current lifetime appointments, in a bid to reduce partisan warring over vacancies and preserve the court’s legitimacy.
The new bill, seen by Reuters, would allow every president to nominate two justices per four-year term and comes amid heightened political tensions as Republican President Donald Trump prepares to announce his third pick for the Supreme Court after the death on Sept. 18 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with just 40 days to go until the Nov. 3 election.
Well, this MUST READ INTERVIEW should bring all efforts against Flynn to a halt.
U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, Jeff Jensen, has been conducting an ongoing review of the FBI investigation that led to charges in the case against Michael Flynn.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office Middle District of Pennsylvania released a statement on the situation on Thursday: On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of potential issues with a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.
WILMINGTON, Del. — The final stretch of a presidential campaign is typically a nonstop mix of travel, caffeine and adrenaline. But as the worst pandemic in a century bears down on the United States, Joe Biden is taking a lower key approach. Since his Aug. 11 selection of California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, Biden has had 22 days where he either didn’t make public appearances, held only virtual fundraisers or ventured from his Delaware home solely for church, according to an Associated Press analysis of his schedules. He made 12 visits outside of Delaware during that period
DENVER -- College students at Regis University are complaining about conditions during a mandatory quarantine. Last week, the university announced a two-week quarantine for students at Residence Village that affects 137 students. The decision came after the school and the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment(DDPHE) found that 57% of cases at the university could be traced to the townhome village. "The fact that we’re paying so much money and being treated like this, I don’t think it’s OK," said Caitlin McFarlane, a junior at the school. (Snip) "I keep questioning why I’m in isolation because I tested negative
It was already obvious comparing the two conventions: Even though the Democrats own the actors, they don’t own the true creative talent in Hollywood. That all seems to have crossed to the Republican side of the aisle. The Democrat convention was drab and oppressive; the Republican convention was bright and open. It’s the same thing with ads and memes. As far as I know, there are no incredible, knock-it-out of the park Democrat videos. The Republicans, though, are killing it. Here are four of the best.
When President Trump announced his intention to quickly nominate a successor to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and requested an expeditious confirmation vote in the Senate, the Democrats responded with predictable hysteria. They loudly protested Trump’s alleged violation of historical precedent and all but pronounced the republic dead if the GOP Senate supports his pernicious plot. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden brayed, “That’s the cycle Republican senators will continue to perpetuate if they go down this dangerous path … a constitutional crisis that plunges us deeper into the abyss.” In reality, neither prompt nominations nor quick confirmations are unprecedented or even unusual.
Serbia and Kosovo agreed on Thursday to name a lake in a disputed territory after President Donald Trump.The lake, known to Kosovars as the “Ujman” and to Serbians as the “Gazivoda,” is the subject of dispute between the two countries, with around 80 percent of its waters located in Kosovo and 20 percent in Serbia. A banner appeared over the lake on Thursday, however, reading “Lake Trump.”The Gazeta Express has learned that both Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic have expressed their willingness to accept the name moving forward.
New Yorkers should take special note of one part of the Senate report on Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings — because one of his wealthy patrons got “economic development” tax breaks from our own Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Yes, the main implications are national: Hunter got millions from foreign sources while his dad was veep, and though Obama officials feared conflicts, they did nothing. Records “show potential criminal activity between Hunter Biden, his family and his associates” and Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh and Chinese nationals, the report says.
Joe Biden continues to duck appearances where he might have to make unscripted comments or answer even softball questions. But a new congressional report, “Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns,” may change that in the upcoming debates: It asks, did Vice President Biden use his global political influence to help his son Hunter bag lucrative deals in Ukraine and China? Americans deserve an answer.
The GOP-led investigation charged that the Bidens’ efforts to cash in on Joe Biden’s clout became so flagrant that U.S. officials became alarmed at what they saw. It
President Trump has said the health of the American people is his primary concern when considering new FDA guidelines on a vaccine. On Wednesday, the President announced the White House may not approve tougher guidelines on the emergency use authorization of a coronavirus vaccine.
According to reports, the FDA was gearing up to announce the stricter standards ahead of the election. As part of the new guidelines, manufacturers seeking authorization would have to follow trial participants for at least two months after a second vaccine shot.
Who can fail to be attracted to the Tesla? That sleek, silent-running electric vehicle seems more common on the road every day. The introduction of the Model 3 has put this fascinating, tech-heavy brand of car into the same price category as the more expensive nonluxury conventional vehicles. As a result, Tesla can barely build them fast enough to keep up with demand.
Nor is Tesla the only make of electric car generating broad interest. Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, and other automakers are all expected to come out with new fully electric models in the next year or two.
Even so, there are limits to this revolution.
What’s Really at Stake in 2020
replies
The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has clarified what is at stake in the 2020 election. It is not, as some believe, democracy itself. Nor is it, as others assume, our continued existence as a nation. Democracy will survive Donald Trump, and the United States of America will outlast Joe Biden. The question that 2020 will help to answer is what sort of democracy, and what sort of nation, America will be as it prepares to enter the second quarter of the 21st century.
The reaction to Ginsburg’s death, and to Republican plans to fill her seat on the Supreme Court, underscores the choice before the electorate:
Revolution 2020
replies
Understanding what drives the revolution that is destroying the American republic gives insight into how the 2020 election’s results may impact its course. Its practical question—who rules?—is historically familiar. But any revolution’s quarrels and stakes obscure the question: to what end? Our revolution is by the ruling class—a revolution from above. Crushing obstacles to its growing oligarchic rule is the proximate purpose.
But the logic that drives the revolution aims at civilization itself.
What follows describes how far along its path that logic has taken America, and where it might take us in the future depending on the election’s outcome.
If there’s one thing you can say about President Donald Trump on the campaign trail for reelection, it’s this: He sure is comfortable.
So comfortable, in fact, he gives all appearances of enjoying himself. Having fun, even.
Joe Biden, on the other hand — painful. Painful and slow, awkward, stilted. Stifled? Probably. His handlers are afraid of what he might say, and have no doubt scripted his appearances down to the facial expression. Cue “Smile Joe!” Card. Cue “Squint Like A Wise Man Joe!” card.
With the fight brewing over a new Supreme Court justice, it’s helpful to understand the danger American faces because of Ginsburgian judicial activism. (snip) o reach this preferred outcome, Ginsburg engaged in open intellectual dishonesty. She was so dishonest that the majority opinion politely took her to task for confusing “discrete” acts of discrimination, which are the statute’s explicit focus, and a generally hostile work environment. (snip) The majority also politely castigated Ginsburg’s intellectual dishonesty
The myth of the ‘stolen country’
replies
Last month, in the middle of the COVID panic, a group of freshmen at the University of Connecticut were welcomed to their campus via a series of online ‘events’. At one event, students were directed to download an app for their phones. The app allowed students to input their home address, and it would piously inform them from which group of Native Americans their home had been ‘stolen’.
We all know the interpretation of history on which this app is based. The United States was founded by a monumental act of genocide, accompanied by larceny on the grandest scale.

Concluded Russia Favored Hillary replies
Former CIA Director John Brennan personally edited a crucial section of the intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and assigned a political ally to take a lead role in writing it after career analysts disputed Brennan's take that Russian leader Vladimir Putin intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump clinch the White House, according to two senior U.S. intelligence officials who have seen classified materials detailing Brennan’s role in drafting the document. The explosive conclusion Brennan inserted into the report was used to help justify continuing the Trump-Russia “collusion” investigation, which had been launched
Black Man Murders Four-Year-Old White Child

in Targeted Attack. Does Anyone in the Media Care? replies
The media reacts quickly and with righteous indignation when a black person is shot by police, or by someone white, no matter what the facts of the case are.
But far too often, even in the most heinous of cases, when the perpetrator is black and the victim or victims happen to be white, the headlines and reporting are not anywhere near the same.
We have seen it in the case of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant, who was executed by a black man in August, and we are seeing it again in the death of a 4-year-old white child in a targeted attack by a black man, WKBN reported.
The criminal law is not designed to address every human tragedy. That is the lesson of the tragic death of Breonna Taylor. It was also the theme repeatedly struck by Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron on Wednesday, in announcing the indictment of one of the three officers involved in the raid that lead to her death.
The charge will not satisfy the mob. Neither the peaceful protesters nor the radical rioters, who have taken to the streets since shortly after Ms. Taylor was killed on March 13, are interested in the facts of the case. They could not care less how the law applies to the evidence
You remember “Where’s Waldo?” This election season, voters are asking: “Where’s Joe?”
On Thursday, just a short 40 days before the election, the Biden campaign called a “lid” at 9 a.m. — no more questions, no more appearances for the rest of the day. That’s after The Post found that President Trump has answered five times the number of questions from reporters in the two months from mid-July to mid-September, 1,141 to a scant 274.
Americans deserve to hear more from the man who wants to be president, and who is willing and able to face tougher questioning.
The Hunter Biden Problem
replies
Joe Biden likes to say that Donald Trump’s intemperate behavior is “corrupting” America’s children. It is a curious charge coming from a pol whose own son, Hunter, is a walking display of corruption. Lost on Biden is the irony that while he worried about the bad “example” Trump might set for America’s children, his own child was self-destructing. It appears that Joe and his lobbyist brothers James and Frank didn’t set a particularly good example for Hunter. They taught him early in his career that he could make easy money off the family’s political connections. Long before Hunter cashed in on his father’s last name in China and Ukraine,
Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris made a misleading claim while campaigning in Michigan on Tuesday regarding the supposed disparities in COVID-19 relief funds to Black restaurant owners, according to a report.
While visiting Flint and Michigan, Harris claimed that out of the hundreds of restaurants in Michigan that received relief funds from the Paycheck Protection Program, only one was Black-owned, The Detroit News reported. “(Joe Biden) and I feel very strongly that you have to speak truth, you cannot deny fact and where there are disparities, they need to be addressed,” Harris told a WDIV reporter.
While PPP has been criticized for its treatment of minority-owned businesses, Harris’ claim
A media campaign has erupted against Amy Coney Barrett, even though President Trump hasn’t actually nominated her to the Supreme Court.
Barrett is clearly the front-runner, having spent a second straight day at the White House as the president moves toward his Saturday announcement. And of course there should be substantial scrutiny of her record if she’s picked, given that replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a lifetime appointment.
But there are early signs this is going to be ugly, and that her religion will be front and center. That subject came up in 2017 when the Senate approved her as a federal appeals court judge in Chicago.

President Barack Obama gave out his 'phone number' to the American people, asking that they send him a text. 'All right, let's try something new. If you're in the United States, send me a text at 773-365-9687 - I want to hear how you're doing, what's on your mind, and how you're planning on voting this year,' Obama tweeted and posted to Instagram Wednesday. He also promised to write back. (Photos) 'I'll be in touch from time to time to share what's on my mind, too,' Obama said.The post includes a picture of Obama in a baggy button down shirt
The Department of Justice on Thursday ordered Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, to modify its practices after several military ballots were found discarded.Fox News reports: The issue surfaced earlier in the day when the DOJ announced that it had recovered a small number of discarded ballots. While the Justice Department would not say where they had found the ballots, they did say there were nine recovered — seven of which were cast for President Trump, while the other two were sealed by Luzerne County before the FBI recovered them. In his letter to Luzerne County officials, U.S. attorney David Freed indicated that additional ballot materials were found in a dumpster.
Though there were no sarcastic references to “Handmaid’s Tale”, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did include a pretty sweet dunk on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in his latest floor speech lecturing Democrats on their panicked hysteria over the upcoming SCOTUS confirmation battle.
Fresh off of his Wednesday smackdown of Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. McConnell spent most of today’s speech reminding people of how the playbook is the same for Democrats every single time the issue of a Supreme Court nominee comes before the Senate. Without fail, they immediately declare each and every Republican nominee for the Supreme Court
