The left lives on “narrative.” In other words, it tells stories. It tells stories about race, gender, criminal violence, and a host of other things. Occasionally, these stories intersect with the facts, but more often than not, they don’t. (snip) Georgia H describes how, as a teacher, she was force-fed the narrative about systemic racism in America. However, when Georgia was actually in the classroom, and again when she was working as a nurse, there was a chasm between what she was told and what she knew to be true – and of course, a chasm between what she knew to be true and what she was allowed to say.

Punish Clinton Charity Fraudsters? 11 replies
Four years ago, Donald Trump's campaign attacked Hillary Clinton for her brazen corruption, deriving personal and political gain from "The Clinton Foundation" in a brutal advertisement as well as on the stump. (snip) A large tree fell in the forest on Oct. 8, 2020, and those of us who expect all charities to organize and operate lawfully will, in time, be pleased once they appreciate the significance of this long-awaited development.
Who are you going to believe – the polls or your lying eyes? With apologies to Groucho Marx, we now have the answer to the question: “What if they held a Biden-Harris rally and nobody showed up?” The answer is a shocked TV street reporter. With nobody visible on the street outside, the reporter said, “Pretty much all the people we saw who pulled into the parking lot about 45 minutes ago were with the Biden-Harris campaign or the pool reporters.” And she noted that because both halves of the ticket were appearing,it was “technically, a big event.”

Are COVID Case Surges

COVID cases are on the rise, or so we are told daily by a hysterical media. (snip) Is a “case” simply a positive test?
The CDC answers this question with a “case definition.” A case is not just a positive test. Instead what is needed is, “Presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence.” Notice the AND, meaning not simply a positive test.
Yet what the media trumpets as “surging cases” are only positive tests. There is no discussion of whether or not any of the individuals with positive tests are showing symptoms or are actually sick
When Breonna Taylor died in a hail of police bullets, she joined the pantheon of Black Lives Matter martyrs, men such as George Floyd, Michael Brown, Jacob Blake, and Trayvon Martin. Initially, she seemed anomalous because she was not engaged in criminal activity or resisting arrest when she died. New evidence, though, shows that, in addition to her relationship with a drug dealing ex-boyfriend (which is what caught the police’s attention), the boyfriend who shot the police was also a drug dealer. Taylor hung out with the wrong people.

There’s a delicate balance between hope and false hope. If we have hope, it’s incredible what we can do. (snip) Democrats are suddenly working hard in Pennsylvania. Or, as a Yahoo report said, “In campaign’s final stretch, Democrats claw their way back in Pennsylvania” – a state in which, according to Real Clear Politics, Biden’s lead averages 7.1%. (snip) If there were a lot of Trump defectors, the media would be profiling them and lionizing them and promoting them 24-7. But I haven't seen a single story about Trump 2016-Biden 2020 defectors.

Is hope lost? 7 replies
Hope. Americans are in danger of losing hope. When I tried to find out when the cause of this despair, COVID, with all its isolation and lockdowns, would be over, here in Idaho, I was told that it would probably be next spring. Our local board of health has just extended the mask mandate another one hundred days. That is past Christmas. It's like the expression from Dante's Divine Comedy: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." We are told to learn to live with a new normal.
But wait a minute. Are we not admonished to "be strong and of a good courage"?

Yesterday, while campaigning in Nevada, Joe Biden behaved spontaneously and demonstrated that he does not really believe masks offer protection against the spread of Covid-19. The mask mandate that Biden proposes is useful for demagoguing President Trump as a “super spreader” because he does not wear them 100% of the time but only when he is in close proximity to others. The governmental mandates and constant drumbeat of propaganda forcing people to wear masks whenever in public serve to accustom us to automatically do what we are told by government authorities, and symbolize our submission to them, while crippling nonverbal communication
Events are hurtling towards the election with strange and disturbing developments every day. Writers are openly discussing the possibility of a violent coup and civil war. 2020 feels like an unprecedented year, and in this context, a recent threat by Nancy Pelosi sounds particularly ominous. Asked about the possibility of President Trump placing Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court, Pelosi replied, “We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now.” What might those arrows be? How much damage will they do?

It seems that each day comes with another well known conservative prognosticator imbibing "doom" shots with "gloom" chasers before breakfast. "Trump is toast." "He's losing by double digits in the polls." "He's got only himself to blame." Quick: Were those 2016 or 2020 opinion ledes? Trick question: The same people who gave up in 2016 faster than Bill Kristol discovered his inner socialist are already in double-time retreat (snip) I think Trump voters are no longer willing to help pollsters figure out how to manipulate them next.
The End of Covid Hysteria

Most of the nation was stunned by the news that Donald and Melania Trump had contracted COVID. (snip) in the likely event he fully recovers, prepare for the beginning of the end to this “COVID-crisis”.
Fact is, most of the country is sick of the hysteria. Most simply want to live their lives, intelligently with caution, and return back to what we all remember was a decent life. (snip)
this has now becoming the issue. A way-too-drunk-on-its-own-power big state/media complex is telling you what you need to do, preventing you from
Presidential pollsters have short memories. It was a mere four years ago that most pollsters faceplanted after predicting a Hillary Clinton landslide victory. Rather than humility and introspection after such wildly inaccurate predictions, they have doubled down and may be falling into the same trap of wishful thinking as they did in 2016.
Opinion polls are only as good as their samples. Assessing President Trump’s popularity in Boulder versus Sturgis would yield vastly different results based on the population being surveyed.

In my household, the nightly self-administered dose of anxiety commences at dinnertime when my wife switches on MSNBC. As the president blunders through a press briefing leaving behind a trail of disinformation, my spouse invariably delivers an impassioned stream of expletives at the screen. Then we listen to the pundits, who have lately spent a worrisome amount of time commenting on the many devious ways in which our commander-in-chief could lose the election but remain president anyway. Frankly, I simply cannot deal with this possibility. I’m already on anxiety meds and there’s probably no medication in existence that can take the edge off

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann slammed President Donald Trump as a “terrorist” in a shocking rant calling for the president to be “expunged.”The liberal pundit, who announced his exit from ESPN this week, unloaded on Trump on his YouTube channel Thursday, even calling for the president’s supporters and conservatives including Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be “prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society.” (Video) In announcing his departure from ESPN this week to allow him to do more political commentary, Olbermann launched what he described as a “new live, daily commentary series with YouTube, focused on the presidential election.”

Amy Coney Barrett will praise her mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia, and tell senators courts 'should not try' to make policy during her opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee.A transcript of the remarks Barrett intends to deliver the first day of her confirmation hearing on Monday was released to the media on Sunday. Barrett, 48, will speak to the Republican-led panel about how Scalia, whom she clerked for after law school, shaped not only her philosophies about the law, but also about family.'Justice Scalia taught me more than just law,' her statement reads. 'He was devoted to his family,
Joe Biden reportedly wants to make New York Governor Andrew Cuomo his Attorney General if he wins the November election. Sources familiar with the situation have told Axios that the National Governors Association is looking into contingencies to replace Cuomo, 62, as chair because he would no longer be able to chair the organization if he becomes AG. According to the report published Sunday afternoon, 'the governor is being pushed for the job and Biden would consider him based on their long friendship.'
Teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“I never engage in party politics. But the upcoming US elections is above and beyond all that,” Thunberg tweeted. “From a climate perspective it’s very far from enough and many of you of course supported other candidates. But, I mean…you know…damn! Just get organized and get everyone to vote #Biden”(Snip for tweet) Thunberg has become an outspoken figure, drawing much media attention since leading school strikes in her home country of Sweden in 2018. She won Time’s Person of the Year award and was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2019.
A Louisiana pastor caught filming himself in a sexual act with two women on a church altar has been denounced by the New Orleans Archbishop, who called his actions "demonic."
Archbishop Gregory Aymond said on Friday that he has ordered the altar to be "removed and burned" and that the pastor, Travis Clark, will "never again" serve in Catholic ministry.
A new report says that President Trump wanted to show he was superhero-strong when he left the hospital after being treated for coronavirus. The New York Times is reporting that while he was at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center receiving coronavirus treatment, President Trump expressed a desire to stage a release-day stunt. The newspaper reported that, on several photo calls made from inside the hospital's presidential suite during his three-day stay, Trump toyed with the idea of likening himself to Superman.
Portland’s indigenous faction of Antifa militants toppled statues of Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on Sunday, before vandalizing the Oregon Historical Society. The destruction was part of a “Day of Rage” promoted by the militants, who said that no cameras or livestreamers would be allowed. The extremists urged people who attended to wear all black. /snip for Tweet/ Using heavy chains, they pulled the statues down without any interference from city leaders or law enforcement. /snip for Tweet/ The leftists celebrated and cheered the destruction.One of the activists involved, Tracy Lynn Molina, posed for photos with the vandalized and destroyed Roosevelt statue.
Senate Judiciary Committee member Chris Coons (D., Del.) on Sunday said that Republicans’ push to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett ahead of the November 3 election “constitutes court packing” and called the judge’s views “not just extreme,” but “disqualifying.”

Coons’s comments came during an appearance on Chris Wallace’s “Fox News Sunday,” in which he defended Democrats’ calls to add additional seats to the Supreme Court in retaliation for the Senate going forward with Barrett’s confirmation hearings only weeks before the election.

Washington–Pressure is mounting on the leaders of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—from inside and outside the agency—to speak publicly against the White House’s manhandling of CDC research and public health decisions, with career scientists so demoralized they are talking of quitting if President Donald Trump wins re-election. The situation came to a boiling point last week when William Foege, a giant in public health who led the CDC under Democratic and Republican presidents, called for its current director, Dr. Robert Redfield, to “stand up to a bully”—he meant Trump—even at the risk of being fired. “Silence becomes complicity,”
In mid-2016, the FBI got word that Russian intelligence believed Hillary Clinton’s campaign was planning to frame Donald Trump as colluding with Russia’s Vladimir Putin to hack her computers. Yet somehow, the crack agents never connected the dots when handed the Steele “dossier” commissioned and paid for by the Clinton campaign that claimed Trump was colluding with Putin.
Instead, the Justice Department used that dossier as a pretext to spy on at least Trump aide Carter Page as it investigated the clearly spurious charges. Justice also distorted the facts about Page’s past relations with the CIA
