Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander voiced his support for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, after President Donald Trump blasted Fauci on Monday. Trump called Fauci a "disaster," a day after Fauci said in an interview that he was unsurprised that Trump got COVID-19. Fauci said it was because Trump regularly flouted the use of masks "as a statement of strength." Alexander released a statement Monday afternoon praising Fauci. “Dr. Fauci is one of our country’s most distinguished public servants," said Alexander, R-Tennessee. "He has served six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. If more Americans paid attention
Climate change scientists fly more often than any other researchers, a new study has revealed. Researchers at Cardiff University found that scientists specialising in climate take around one more flight a year for work than their contemporaries. The revelation has sparked calls for environmentalists to 'look in the mirror' before preaching about reducing emissions. The study, reported in The Times, found that climate scientists take around five flights a year on average for work while other researchers took just four.
Climate change professors also take around nine flights each year while the average for professors in general is eight.
A Royal Navy officer in charge of the Trident nuclear missiles was found to be drunk whilst on duty when he turned up for a shift with a bag of barbecue chicken. Lieutenant Commander Len Louw, in his 40s, is understood to have been carrying grilled chicken and was 'not in a fit state to be in charge of nuclear weapons' when he turned up to take over the controls. Alarmed crew members of the HMS Vigilant, currently based in the US, notified the 'higher ups' when they realised something was 'seriously wrong' with Lieutenant Louw.(Snip) The latest scandal to hit the £3billion
Uxbridge–A woman charged with assaulting a Vietnam veteran because he supports President Trump was released on $250 bail Monday. Kiara Dudley, 34, was arrested after the weekend incident in Douglas. The 73-year-old veteran and another person were at the intersection of Main and Webster streets just after noon Saturday with Trump flags and signs. Police said Dudley went up to the couple and “began to berate them with insults” and told them to leave. As the couple tried to move away, police said Dudley bumped the veteran with her body and then stepped on his “Veterans for Trump” sign.
The youngest son of former president Ronald Reagan has called president Donald Trump’s family “grifters” and said his father would have been “horrified” by the state of the Republican party today. In an interview with CNN's Ana Cabrera on Sunday, Ron Reagan was quizzed on his opinion of Mr Trump’s children’s involvement in the administration and his campaign. In response the commentator said that he believed the family are “entitled to go and campaign” for their father but then scathing labelled them “grifters”. “I don't mean to be blunt but we've got a bunch of grifters there in the White House,” he said.
A large group of anti-Trump leftists turned violent against Boston police officers at a pro-Trump “Anti-Democrat Violence” rally in Boston on Sunday. They later burned a U.S. flag and an image of President Donald Trump.A group of about 50 members of the pro-Trump “Super Happy Fun America” group gathered in front of the Boston Public Library on Sunday to protest “Democrat violence,” according to the Boston Herald. They were outnumbered nearly three-to-one by anti-Trump counterprotesters who eventually turned violent.Boston police attempted to keep the groups separated with a metal barricade but the leftists eventually removed the barriers.(Tweet/Video)
President Donald Trump’s supporters chanted “Superman!” on Monday as the president recalled his fight with the coronavirus at a rally in Arizona.The president recalled how he took an antibody treatment developed by Regeneron that helped him recover from the virus.“I woke up the next morning and I was like, I felt like Superman,” Trump said. “Get me out of here, I said, ‘Get me out of here.'”The crowd repeatedly chanted “Superman!” causing the president to pause with a chuckle and grin.Trump tested positive for the virus on October 1 but returned to the campaign trail last week after beating it. He spoke to supporters in Tuscon, Arizona
A survey of late-night shows has found that in September two of the main U.S. hosts cracked jokes almost exclusively at the expense of Donald Trump. Ninety seven per cent of the jokes Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon told about the candidates in September targeted Trump, a study released on Monday found. The researchers found 455 jokes about Trump and 14 about Democrat Joe Biden, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University. That does not even count 64 jokes made about Trump's family or administration, the study said.(Snip) Republicans are usually targeted more than Democrats
The New Yorker suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin after he was caught masturbating during a Zoom call last week with New Yorker and WNYC radio members, according to a report.
VICE reports:
Two people who were on the call told VICE separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker’s biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans; Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, (Snip)Both people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, noted that it was unclear how much each person saw, but both said that they saw Toobin jerking off.
It’s the job of journalists to cover the news of the nation. Leftist CNN, however, has regularly neglected this duty in favor of their Democratic partisan agenda. Since, The New York Post broke the story on Hunter Biden’s emails, the network has been noticeably silent on the topic. Like their fellow left-wing media outlets, they do not report on news that could damage their preferred candidate, Joe Biden. This was seen on Monday’s New Day, where the topic was covered for a grand total of 18 seconds – during a three-hour show.This was when correspondent Alex Burns whined: “That the President going out there and

As he wiped off his screen, After makin’ a scene, He asked, “How did you like my oozin’?” The New Yorker has or had a “legal analyst” named Jeffrey Toobin. He was a participant in a recent Zoom videocall with several other people. The conversation evidently didn’t interest him. He pulled his pants down and found something that did. A lot. The object of Toobin’s intense interest proved less interesting to the other participants on the videocall. The New Yorker has suspended him. Which surely is a violation of some sort of special protection to which he’s entitled.
The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks are doing everything they can to avoid investigating the latest Hunter Biden bombshells. Since the morning of October 14 when the New York Post published new evidence of Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings with Ukraine and Joe Biden’s potential knowledge of it the broadcast nets have buried the allegations. For Wednesday, October 14 through the morning of October 19 MRC analysts looked at the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows and their Sunday roundtable programs, plus ABC’s and NBC’s townhall events with Joe Biden and President Trump.
Wow. Talk about a self-own.CNN hall monitor chief media correspondent Brian Stelter, a pseudo-expert in all things media, did a segment during his “Reliable Sources” program Sunday in which he tried to explain why the mainstream media covered President Trump so much more than Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.But in the analogies he used, Stelter again gave up the game on the issue of his network’s blatant anti-Trump bias, comparing Trump to a plane crash while comparing Biden to a “plane that lands safely” (bolded emphasis added): Well, it reminds me of the old saying that plane crashes are news, but all of the planes that land safely
Now he is the talk of the town. The New Yorker writer and CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin didn’t just expose himself during a Zoom work meeting — he was allegedly caught masturbating in the call with some of magazine’s biggest names and has now been suspended from the publication. “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera,’’ the 60-year-old married Harvard Law School grad said in a stunning admission to Vice, which broke news of the cringe-worthy incident Monday. “I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,’’ he said. Correction*
A fire inside an official election drop box in Los Angeles county has damaged voters’ ballots and is under investigation for arson, officials said. The blaze Sunday night in the city of Baldwin Park appeared to be intentional, according to authorities, though the cause and the extent of the destruction were still under investigation. The fire required firefighters to spray water into the box to extinguish the flames, likely causing significant damage. Video from the scene showed dozens of wet and burnt ballots. “The arson of an official ballot drop box … has all the signs of an attempt to disenfranchise voters
The attempt by the social media Masters of the Universe to stop the spread of the New York Post bombshell article about Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s alleged dealings with Burisma, has nearly doubled the level of attention the story gained. What is known as the “Streisand Effect” — a social phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing it instead — went into overdrive after social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter attempted to suppress a NY Post article about Hunter Biden, according to data published in the MIT Technology Review. Social media companies reduced the distribution
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Republican application to stay the decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to grant the Democratic Party’s request to make several changes to mail-in voting that critics have decried as vulnerable to fraud.As Breitbart News reported last month, “The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled … that ballots received three days after Election Day will still be counted — even if there is no evidence they were postmarked on time.”Republicans sought a stay.The Supreme Court, however, split 4-4 on the request, leaving the decision of the lower court in place.

Cancer-stricken talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh provided listeners a somber update on his condition Monday after recent scans showed “some progression of cancer,” which he said is “not dramatic” but still a step in the wrong direction. Limbaugh announced in February that he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and had missed several shows this month to undergo treatment. “From the moment you get the diagnosis, there’s a part of you every day, OK, that’s it, life’s over, you just don’t know when,” Limbaugh said. “So, during the period of time after the diagnosis, you do what you can to prolong life
Pilot Dan Alpiner started his flight on Oct. 11 without a co-pilot, gained one mid-air for about 10 minutes, and then completed the rest of his flight alone.Sound odd? Alpiner thought so, too.Alpiner was helping drop water on the Creek Fire in Fresno, California, when an owl somehow flew in a 16-inch square open window in the side of the helicopter and landed on the co-pilot seatback.The pilot’s first thought was that the owl might go after him. If it was gutsy enough to fly into a helicopter mid-air, taking on a human pilot would be child’s play.

For those of you who haven’t listened to our latest “Three Whisky Happy Hour” podcast where “Lucretia” and I ponder Bari Weiss’s Tablet article “Stop Being Shocked,” we summarized and extended her case that the post-liberal progressivism now clearly ascendant in the Democratic Party represents an existential threat not just to Jews, but eventually to everyone who dissents from woke-progressive-social justice orthodoxy.
This in turn sent me back to Leo Strauss’s famous “autobiographical preface” to a new edition of his early book Spinoza’s Critique of Religion, where he explains in profound detail the dilemma of Jews in a liberal democracy, specifically Weimar Germany
A 73-year-old woman was pushed onto Brooklyn subway tracks by a stranger Monday after her grandson and husband demanded he stop smoking pot on the platform, police said. The family encountered the man puffing on a joint on Manhattan-bound C train platform at the Clinton/Washington Aves. station in Fort Greene about 1:45 p.m. The grandson told the smoker to put it out. An argument erupted, and the pot smoker punched and kicked at the straphangers, according to police. At some point in the ensuing melee, the grandmother was knocked onto the subway bed. She was pulled to safety before
Governor Andrew Cuomo is threatening to withhold a COVID-19 vaccine from New York until his team of doctors deem it safe because he doesn't trust the FDA or CDC, raising serious questions about how and when it will eventually become available and who will be the arbiter of it.Cuomo said during an interview with Good Morning America that the American people will be 'skeptical' about a vaccine because of how the federal administration has handled the pandemic and that he won't rush to recommend it. It's unclear if, once the FDA approves it, Cuomo will have the power to stop it

On Monday, House Republicans formally requested that Attorney General William Barr appoint a special prosecutor to investigate allegations arising from a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. In a letter released Monday morning, eleven Members of Congress urged Barr to initiate an investigation into whether the younger Biden used his father, Joe Biden’s, position as Vice President to gain the upper hand in international business deals. The Post story, as The Daily Wire reported last week, claims that emails, found on a computer allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden, substantiate such allegations.
Malcolm X used to slap white girls around to get back at the white race for the discrimination that his father went through, a landmark biography of the civil rights firebrand claims. In his teens a lawless Malcolm was ‘very, very cruel to white girls’ because of the treatment of his dad Earl Little. Malcolm watched as racists firebombed his family home and grieved Earl's death aged six after he was run over by a streetcar in an incident rumored to have been a murder by a group of white supremacists.
Amazon employees are pushing for the company to make Election Day a paid holiday.

France plans to expel over 200 radical foreigners after the killing of a French school teacher in what French president Emmanuel Macron called an "Islamist terrorist attack," Fox News reported Sunday.
The 231 alleged radicals were identified by the File of Alerts for the Prevention of Terrorist Attacks, which French media say is a primary tracker of terrorism within the country.
Of the individuals identified, 180 are currently detained, and French authorities plan to soon arrest the other 51. Paris already had plans to expel all the radicals listed, but the attack on the French citizen and school teacher accelerated those plans, Macron’s government confirmed.
President Trump signs historic peace deal with Israel, Bahrain and the UAE at the White House. President Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in early September. It should have happened years ago.

A pro-Trump super PAC is spending millions of dollars on a new ad push in battleground states. The group, Preserve America, has reportedly vamped up their campaign with $10 million to run the TV ad in seven states, including Florida, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. On Friday, their most recent ad initially launched with a $2.5 million dollar ad buy. The ad argues that Biden has shipped American jobs overseas throughout the course of his political career, “digging a hole for American workers” over 47 years. (Video) Preserve America has noted it plans to spend $2 million to run the ad online as well.

If you can’t stand Trump here is our reply: If you are liberal and can’t stand Trump and can’t possibly fathom why anyone would vote for him, let me fill you in. We can’t stand you. You’ve done everything in your power by trying to destroy this country by tearing down our police, our borders, our history, systematically destroying our schools and brainwashing our kids into thinking socialism is the answer to everything.

Facebook and Twitter have censored President Trump and his campaign accounts at least 65 times in the last two years, while Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden and his camp have never been dinged, according to a report released Monday. The conservative Media Research Center’s Techwatch department found that the tech giants had a decidedly lopsided approach to the presidential candidates and their campaigns when it comes to flagging and axing their content. The biggest discrepancy came with Twitter, which accounted for 98% of the censorship incidents against the Trump camp from May 2018 to Oct. 16, 2020. The analysis did not include ads

Wikipedia has decided to restrict its editors from expressing opposition to same-sex marriage on its platform — a decision that comes months after co-founder Larry Sanger said the site’s neutrality policy was “dead.”
Volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia’s articles can no longer include on their profile page any “userbox” — a badge expressing their beliefs — that is against gay marriage. For example, one such userbox states, “This user believes marriage is between one man and one woman.”
The decision was made after a recent discussion where “predominantly left-wing editors” argued such a stance was “discriminatory” and against site policy, according to Breitbart.

You can’t talk about the art-market boom of the 21st century without talking about Francis Bacon and his triptychs. When “Three Studies of Lucian Freud” went under the hammer at Christie’s in 2013, the three-piece work became the most expensive ever sold at auction at a staggering $142.4 million. Other three-panel works from the painter have fetched similar headline-making figures: $86.2 million for “Triptych” in 2008 and $84.6 million for “Triptych Inspired by the Oresteia of Aeschylus” just this summer.
Those hammer prices are a product both of Bacon’s signature style and the seemingly steroid-infused market, but the scope of the works — essentially three paintings in one

Donald Trump may still sit in the White House, but America seems increasingly submissive to the rule of the Democrats. The Party now enjoys predominant influence over mainstream media, rising influence among wealthy elites, a stranglehold over education and entertainment industries, and the domination of the burgeoning non-profit world. Remarkably the self-styled “party of the people” now accommodates the big Wall Street firms and tech oligarchies alongside the progressive, neo-socialist, activist base and an ever-diminishing remnant of traditional working-class voters.
This powerful coalition is also a fundamentally unstable one—a three-headed hydra whose heads, particularly after Trump leaves, will soon be biting each other furiously.
On the clear, cool morning of November 13, 1963, a convoy flanked by blue Air Force police cars with flashing lights turned off the tarmac at Kelly Air Force Base, southwest of downtown San Antonio. It wound its way carefully across Interstate 410 and into the neighboring Lackland Air Force Base’s Medina Annex, slowly passing a neighborhood made up of new ranch homes.
At the center of the convoy, an ungainly vehicle called a straddle carrier, whose driver sat in a cab high above the roadway, held precious cargo slung between its four wheeled legs. The vehicle resembled a giant spider protecting its eggs.

Yes, that title doesn’t make much sense, but neither does a group that promotes banning firearms starting a national organization called Gun Owners for Safety. Nonetheless, The Hill recently reported that the anti-gun group Giffords is doing just that. This effort is being sold as an expansion of the group’s campaign to fool gun owners at the state level into supporting an agenda that is clearly against their own interests.
Giffords has been working on establishing what it calls Gun Owners for Safety State Chapters since at least January 2019, and claims to have three under its wing. The states it mentions, Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas, all have groups
Artists gathered to paint a Black Lives Matter mural along Woodland Street in East Nashville on Saturday. Monday morning, at least one set of tire tracks could be seen running the length of the bottom half of the mural. The 200-foot mural sits between Interstate Drive and 1st Ave. on Woodland Street, near Nissan Stadium and the Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center. Organizers said they purposefully chose that spot because it is highly visible to Titans fans on game days, and also may offer a glimpse of hope for youth on their way to the detention center.

Of course, President Donald Trump is headed for another election victory on Nov. 3. Why should anyone be shocked? Trump is proving once again why he's the GOAT (the greatest economic president of all time). He created perhaps the greatest economy in U.S. history before COVID-19. And now he's doing it again! Who's gonna vote against that? Remember the brilliant wisdom of Democratic strategist James Carville: "It's the economy, stupid."

As the attacks on the Electoral College continue, we can see how important the Electoral College is from the 2016 presidential election results. Many observers have noted that Clinton's margin in California was greater than her plurality nationwide. Many observers have also argued that without the Electoral College, a couple or a few large states would dominate elections. What few if any have noticed is that in 2016, the Electoral College prevented 3 out of 3,141 counties with about 5% of the electorate and population from picking the president.

Prince William County’s jail released an illegal immigrant late last month despite a federal criminal warrant for his arrest, marking what federal officials see as an escalation of sanctuary policies. Edras Onel Vasquez-Perez, 25, had been deported before. When he was found in the U.S. again, federal authorities persuaded a magistrate judge to issue a felony warrant for his arrest. Prince William County police arrested Mr. Vasquez-Perez on Sept. 28 on charges of assaulting a family member, but the jail released him a day later, apparently ignoring both the criminal warrant and a detainer request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The owner of the computer repair company handed over Hunter’s laptop to the FBI last December. The FBI hid this evidence from congress and the executive branch during the Pelosi impeachment hearings.

Much of the push to ignore The Post’s drop of Hunter Biden’s e-mails centers on the charge that it’s all “unverified.” The claim is more excuse than truth.
First, a host of media outlets have now interviewed the computer-repair guy who provided the data at the heart of these exposés — and he’s said exactly what we’ve reported from the start about how the laptop came into his possession.
Second, neither Hunter nor Joe Biden has even questioned the fact that the drive is real — they merely dismiss the entire line of questioning, while charging that The Post has an agenda in presenting it to the world.
One would have to be intellectually obtuse to think former President Barack Obama was unaware his Vice-President, Joe Biden, was raking in tens-of-millions from his use of Hunter Biden as family bagman while lobbying foreign governments.
With that in mind; and considering all of the downstream consequences from the original selection of Joe Biden as the VP candidate; and considering how those in power now have the tool of the NSA database to control political offices; how long has the intelligence apparatus been involved in selecting the U.S. presidential candidates?Obama paid-off Joe w/ VP position (knowing he would use it for $$$) as a pay-back for Joe's work covering the
Four years ago, supporting Donald J. Trump for president was controversial. Today, backing the president is downright risky. People are losing their jobs, children are being kicked out of class and businesses are boycotted because their owners support President Trump. Imagine.
Hitting back at the Democrats' assault on Candidate Trump in 2016, I wrote a piece for the Fiscal Times titled: “Five Reasons a Sane Person Might Still Vote for Trump.” The arguments I highlighted hold up well, and are perhaps even more persuasive today.
First up: Education.
If you believe in equal opportunity, you want all youngsters to receive a decent education.
President Trump may want to replace “YMCA” as the closing song for his rallies with Bachman Turner Overdrive’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.” Joe Biden has gone into hiding for the next four days (“to prepare for the debate”) as the social media censorship of information on Hunter Biden’s hard drive fails to force it down the memory hole. (snip)
We can safely speculate that that’s exactly how it will playout now that we know that Steve Bannon was given a copy of the hard drive and is orchestrating the rollout
Momentum is building… all across social media platforms the MAGA movement is pushing back against censorship… Massive boat parades; incredible vehicle parades; both replete with flags and banners supporting our President. Yard signs are now going out in force and the MAGA gear is visible everywhere. In the past week the latest viral platform videos are of Trump dancing, Trumpy dance and Tik Tok duets. Good stuff.
The biggest single attribute connecting all of these visible events is joy, fellowship and the visible spirit of a patriotic movement happy to stand with President Trump. Tens-of-thousands for rallies and events; and even surrogates for President Trump
Hunter Biden is a truly pathetic human being. He’s an addict who’s rolled in and out of rehab because of his serious drug and alcohol abuse. The recently released emails reveal a man with horrifically low self-esteem. They also indicate that his father pimped Hunter to foreign governments to act as a bagman for bribes. However, it’s possible to be both pathetic and evil. In this case, the evil may exist, not just because Hunter sold out his country, but also because there are increasingly credible rumors that Hunter’s hard drive holds child pornography.
The first reference to child pornography on Hunter’s hard drive came from Chanel Rion, of OAN.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday said that Hunter Biden’s laptop “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” amid claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff suggesting otherwise. Ratcliffe, during an exclusive interview on FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria,” was asked about the allegations from Schiff, D-Calif., who over the weekend said that the Hunter Biden emails suggesting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had knowledge of, and was allegedly involved in, his son’s foreign business dealings.
The polls are once again delivering feel-good boosts to Democrats: Joe Biden beats President Trump by 10, 11 or 12 points nationally, depending on the day. His edge in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin averages eight. Propeller-heads promise better than 4 in 5 odds of a new president next year. But then the partisans remember they have been here before, four years ago this week. The conflicting emotions can be overwhelming. “I am feeling anxious and trapped between a sense of unbridled optimism and sheer dread,” said Abington Township, Pa., Commissioner Bill Bole, who like many Democrats never thought Trump could
For weeks, Joe Biden has played coy about whether he’d pack the Supreme Court with liberals should he win the White House and Democrats take control of the Senate. The media has largely ignored the issue, as they have anything that might harm Biden’s chances.
So what else isn’t Biden, or the press, telling us? What else will voters learn after they’ve cast their ballots? We can think of five things that, had voters known about them before Nov. 3, would have no doubt sapped support for Biden.
1. Biden is a far-left liberal with a big agenda. In his
Senate lawmakers will begin consideration of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett after they revote a narrow coronavirus aid package and send a subpoena to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled last week the Senate will begin consideration of Barrett’s nomination on Oct. 23, one day after her expected approval from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Barrett’s confirmation hearing this week appeared to reinforce the already significant enthusiasm for her nomination from Senate Republicans, who are expected to vote nearly unanimously to confirm her by the end of October.

At the time Hunter Biden’s laptop reportedly sat unclaimed at a Delaware repair shop, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden was living a tumultuous life, including facing a paternity lawsuit from an exotic dancer.
The repair shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, told The New York Post a man who he cannot identify left the MacBook Pro in April 2019. He never returned, and Mr. Isaac eventually took custody. He gave a download of the contents to the FBI and President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, who provided the data to the Post.
The chain of events raises the question of how someone —
Sometimes when Joe Biden offers yarns about his childhood, I think of a Woody Allen bit from his stand-up days in which the comic tells the story of being invited to a Halloween party while visiting the Deep South in the early 1960s. Allen decides to dress-up as a ghost, and throws on a white sheet and sets off. Soon, a bunch of men also in white sheets drive up and order him to get in a car. A naïve Allen, assuming the group of people are also going to the party as ghosts, obliges.
Allen, of course, ends up at a Klan rally, where he gives himself away
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a woman of considerable power joins a man of considerable power onstage for a televised debate. The woman is cool, composed. She knows her stuff—she’s “done the homework,” let’s say. The man, meanwhile, is somehow both wicked and aloof. He lies without finesse, which doesn’t stop him from guzzling the available air time as if it’s his right. Their encounter is a Pyrrhic victory for womankind, a pluckable symbol for women who believe that their best selves could flourish in the professional sphere, if only men would stop intruding.

Chuck Todd interviewed Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this morning and turned to the recent decision of the Michigan Supreme Court that ruled that she had violated the Michigan Constitution in her extended pandemic orders. Todd did not challenge Whitmer stating falsely that the opinion was a “partisan” decision. It was not. The “Democrat justices” agreed that Whitmer violated the Constitution. They only disagreed on the remedy. However, that untruth was quickly lost in what was a flagrantly untrue statement by Todd himself. He told NBC viewers that the justices did not cite any law to support their decision against Whitmer.
With the 2020 Presidential election a few weeks away, opinion polls dominate the news, unlike real news of one of the candidates and his family involved in a massive pay-to-play scandal, selling US interests to hostile foreign governments, dutifully ignored or censored by cable news and social media giants.Polls show Joe Biden ahead by double digits, portending a landslide victory the likes of which we haven’t seen since the electoral tsunamis of Nixon and Reagan decades ago. If the polls are to be believed, Trump should be packing and preparing for life as a private citizen come late January.Here are a few examples
Look around you at the smoldering ruins of American society, and it’s clear that you owe our garbage Establishment nothing.
Not loyalty.
Not respect.
Not obedience.
Nothing.
It has failed you. And now it is dead to you.
Tear it all down.
Rip out its rotten foundations.
Burn the poisonous debris.
Rebuild it on a foundation of the Constitution.
There was once a social contract out there that we all thought we all signed on to. You know the outlines of the implicit deal. We agreed to give up certain prerogatives and to provide prestige and prosperity to those people – who became the Establishment – who would run our institutions for us. For example, we outsourced our right
If you believe the media, Joe Biden is heading toward a landslide of such historic proportions that even Texas may tip into the Democrat’s column. Of course, no intelligent person actually believes this, but the propaganda organs of our national media are so devoted to Team Joe that the possibility of turning Texas “blue” continues to be the subject of allegedly serious reporting.
A well-informed source in Texas tells me GOP internal polls show a tighter-than-usual contest there, and Democrats are bombarding young Texans with get-out-the-vote text messages, but this is a state Trump won with a comfortable margin of more than 800,000 votes in 2016. Nevertheless, the media

The latest state polling by the Trafalgar Group predicts another win for President Trump in the upper 270’s to low 280’s in the Electoral College, but the CEO highlights a couple of big cautions for Republicans.
In an lengthy interview on the National Review “The Editors” podcast, the Trafalgar Group CEO Robert Cahaly told NR’s Rich Lowry that he predicts Trump will win the battleground states of Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Texas. He said things are tighter in Wisconsin and Arizona, though Cahaly says Trump has the lead and will “probably win” in Arizona.
For three days, Joe Biden refused to say a word about The Post’s exclusive stories last week linking him to his son Hunter’s business deals in the Ukraine and China.
It wasn’t till 7:45 p.m. Friday, at the Detroit airport that the former vice president briefly stopped for questions and CBS reporter Bo Erickson asked about the damning e-mails found on Hunter’s laptop, which was abandoned last April at a Mac repair shop.
“I have no response,” snapped Joe. “Another smear campaign. Right up your alley.”
A video of Joe’s remarks on Erickson’s Twitter account has been viewed 6 million times.
Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who now serves on Joe Biden's transition team, suggested Sunday that President Trump’s supreme court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, poses a threat to his marriage.
"There are all kinds of interesting questions about the future of the American judiciary, but right now, as we speak, the preexisting condition coverage of millions of Americans might depend on what is about to happen in the Senate with regard to this justice," Buttigieg told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. Buttigieg, who married his husband in 2018, then suggested that the Obama-era same-sex marriage ruling could be considered
The Biden campaign is facing renewed criticism over its deep connections with Big Tech after both Twitter and Facebook censored a story from The New York Post detailing allegedly corrupt business deals by Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden. The move prompted fresh criticism on social media over the Biden transition team’s hiring of top Facebook executive Jessica Hertz, which reportedly came days after the 2020 Democrat’s campaign penned a letter to the social media giant urging them to censor President Trump’s posts.
Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden revelations also came days after the company’s director of public policy, Carlos Monje, reportedly left his post

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) threatened to “rebalance” the federal judiciary under a potential Biden presidency should Senate Republicans confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Coons appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper on Sunday to comment on Barrett’s ongoing confirmation process in the Senate. Coons said that if former Vice President Joe Biden beats President Trump in November, the Delaware senator would be “open” to packing the Supreme Court in response to Barrett’s confirmation.“Like Joe Biden, I’m not a fan of expanding the court, but we have a few weeks here to see whether there are four Republicans who
President Trump said the US would be in the throes of a “massive depression” if he had “totally” heeded advice from scientists on coronavirus-related lockdown measures. Trump made the economic prediction at his Sunday rally in Carson City, Nevada, adding that the country would endure another Great Depression if Joe Biden is elected president. “He’s gonna lock down. This guy wants to lock down,” Trump said of Biden, referring to the coronavirus lockdowns for public safety.
“He’ll listen to the scientists. If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression.”
