For people who claim to be so reasonable, sane and democratic, self-identified Democrats have a proven record of acting stunningly unhinged.
From threatening to blow up the White House to assaulting children, Democrats have exhibited a loud, endless cacophony of unbridled rage ever since President Donald Trump stepped into the White House as president roughly four years ago.
One would think that their shenanigans would have tapered off once they’d seen that the president wasn’t going to usher in “a new age of darkness,” as the Democrats at The Guardian had put it in a piece published right before the 2016 election.
During an interview with the War Room, Democratic mayor of Carbondale, Pennsylvania Justin Taylor unloaded on former Vice President Joe Biden as he predicted that President Donald Trump will win in a landslide in November.The mayor explained that there will be a "huge victory and huge numbers" for President Trump as he explained how the Democratic party has strayed too far left. “I see a huge turnout, a huge victory, huge numbers for Trump, and I honestly see that across the commonwealth and across the nation,” Taylor said as he noted how "more and more” Democrats feel “abandoned” by their party.
Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to have a knack for saying and doing the worst things at the worst possible time, and with Election Day now two weeks away and millions of Americans already voting, she comes through again. In a repeat of the infamous “Madame President” fiasco, Hills reminded Americans of the one thing that may scare them more than anything else — Kamala Harris’ finger on the proverbial red button as commander in chief.(Video) Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate celebrated her birthday Tuesday and Clinton marked the occasion by sharing a photo of Sen. Kamala Harris.The caption of the kiss of death tweet read: “In two weeks,
President Trump said Tuesday he’s considering posting his interview with Lesley Stahl of “60 Minutes” before its scheduled airtime so viewers can see “what a fake and biased interview is all about.” “I am pleased to inform you that, for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I am considering posting my interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, PRIOR TO AIRTIME!” Mr. Trump tweeted. “Everyone should compare this terrible Electoral Intrusion with the recent interviews of Sleepy Joe Biden!” The interview is set to air on Sunday night on CBS. White House staff also recorded the interview.
President Donald Trump debuted a new feature at his campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania on Tuesday.“Take a look at this clip. We had it made up, and I think you’ll like it. First time I’ve ever done it,” Trump said.The president played a highlight video of Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, criticizing fossil fuels and talking about ending fracking during the Democrat primary.The video was aired on a giant screen set up at the rally location.Since winning the Democrat primary, the former vice president pivoted in August, telling Pennsylvania voters that he would not ban fracking.“The fake news, they don’t do anything about it,
2016 presidential election silver medalist Hillary Clinton will be celebrating her birthday next Monday, and will be provided with yet another reminder that she’s not president, and the consequences that has caused for her party.
President Donald Trump has already confirmed two Supreme Court justices, and Republicans have the votes in the Senate to confirm his third nominee, Amy Coney Barrett. Mitch McConnell announced earlier today that the vote on Barrett will be held on October 26th – which just so happens to be Hillary’s birthday.
Lawmakers are rightly concerned with foreign interference in the election, but what if the call is actually coming from inside our house? Project Veritas reports on allegations of election interference by Google, using its near-monopoly power to warp search-engine results and content on its platforms to favor Democrats. Its latest undercover video features a clearly disgusted technical manager at Google accusing his employer of “playing selective god” with its market domination in order to advance its “leftist agenda.” And speaking of foreign interference, Ritesh Lakhkar also warns PV’s undercover reporter about China’s increasing influence over Google and American politicians, too:

Target Trump Supporters if Biden Wins replies
Members of the professional left are now proposing a ‘truth and reconciliation commission’ to shame Trump supporters if Joe Biden wins. These would be the same people who have spent four years calling Trump an authoritarian, a dictator, a fascist, a cult leader, and worse. Those same people are now proposing Orwellian forms of public shaming for having the ‘wrong’ views.(Snip) Make no mistake about what is being suggested. These people are talking about a vindictive form of retaliation for wrongthink. Tucker Carlson highlighted this on his show last night and included a segment from MSNBC where the subject is discussed.
The FBI is in possession of the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in Ukraine and China, two senior administraiton officials told Fox News Tuesday. The FBI declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.
Further, Fox News has learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Ratcliffe, on Monday, said that Hunter Biden’s laptop and the emails on it
For the second straight day, a bright light shines through the gloom of a darkening COVID outlook this fall. Yesterday the good news was that fears of schools becoming mass incubators of coronavirus appear to be overblown. Positivity rates across a sample of tens of thousands of students and staff in NYC are minuscule. Maybe we can have safe in-class instruction this fall. Today’s news is even better. As cases explode in Europe and climb towards a new peak in the U.S., a tantalizing mystery has emerged: Why aren’t we seeing the same crushing death tolls in hot spots that we saw in the spring? Deaths *are* rising
How galling it is to see China bouncing back from the global pandemic that it unleashed. While the rest of the world wrestles with fear, mistrust, unemployment, recession, stagnation, non-Covid health catastrophes, countless blighted lives and a ‘second wave’ of the virus, China is set to enter 2021 stronger than it was in January 2020. That was the month when Chinese complacency, deceit and the ruthless diktat of the Communist Party allowed coronavirus to get its first foothold among humankind. The numbers are stark, on both the medical and economic fronts. China, with a population of 1.4 billion, now records around a dozen Covid cases daily. Correction*

A Republican congressional candidate in California shared a video of an epic schooling of black supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.Tamika Hamilton, the GOP candidate for California’s third congressional district, shared a video of a black woman’s fiery message to Biden supporters as she set the record straight on what President Donald Trump has actually accomplished for the black community in his first term. (Video) “Make this go viral,” Hamilton tweeted in the caption to the two-minute video posted Monday.“What do you want?” the woman in the video demanded of African Americans and their “allies,” calling out the hypocrisy over calls for action
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tried and failed to vote the Senate out of session Monday night, as the GOP reversed his last-ditch effort to derail judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court.Late Monday, Schumer announced that he would hold an emergency, near-midnight vote to send the Senate out of session until after the presidential election, effectively ending all votes before November, preventing the Senate Judiciary Committee from electing to send Barrett’s nomination to the Senate floor, and blocking the GOP from seating Barrett on the Supreme Court before the presidential election.
President Trump abruptly cut off an interview with the “60 Minutes” star Lesley Stahl at the White House on Tuesday and then taunted her on Twitter, posting a short behind-the-scenes video of her at the taping and noting that she had not been wearing a mask.Mr. Trump then threatened to post his interview with Ms. Stahl ahead of its intended broadcast date on Sunday evening, calling it “FAKE and BIASED.”The spectacle of a president, two weeks out from Election Day, picking a fight with the nation’s most popular television news program began on Tuesday after Mr. Trump grew irritated
Baltimore — A Maryland man is being held without bond and has been charged for firing a shotgun as Trump supporters drove by in a pickup truck while he put a Black Lives Matter sign in his yard. CBS Baltimore reports the incident happened Saturday afternoon in Kingsville, Maryland, a semi-rural community about 10 miles northeast of Baltimore. Police have booked resident Douglas Kuhn with multiple charges, including assault. Neal Houk and his son said they honked their horn at Kuhn, their neighbour, from their pickup truck, which has a large Trump sign in the back, as he was putting a
Do the Chinese Own Joe Biden?
replies
Americans will need to come to grips with a mounting, deadly serious crisis. The Democrat nominee for the presidency appears saturated with corruption, and worse -- yes, there’s a worse here -- he’s compromised himself to foreign powers, one of which -- the People’s Republic of China (PRC) -- is rightly regarded as an enemy of the U.S. Sly Vlad Putin and whoever runs the Ukraine owns Joe Biden, too. Russia and the Ukraine having the goods on Biden is bad enough, but China is the U.S.’s principal rival for global dominance. The blackmailing of a President Joe Biden is a chilling prospect.

Hindu groups in the US have expressed outrage at a morphed photo of the Hindu goddess Durga with Kamala Harris’s face, after it was shared online by the vice presidential candidate’s niece. Meena Harris, who has been very active on social media with support for her aunt Kamala for the upcoming election, said in a tweet which has now been deleted: “I am speechless, other than to say that the first day of Navratri was LIT.” (Snip) Meena’s image had Kamala Harris’s face photoshopped onto Durga’s body, while the face of her lion had been replaced by the Democrat presidential
A recent study by the social media engagement tracking firm Newswhip found that the New York Post’s recent bombshell story on Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and their alleged deal with Burisma had its reach cut in half by Facebook compared to anti-Trump stories from other publications. This stands in stark contrast to Twitter’s efforts to censor the story, which actually doubled the attention it received according to the MIT Technology Review. Newsweek reports that social media tracking firm Newswhip recently analyzed the engagement that the New York Post’s bombshell story on Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden received across social media.
Hunter Biden’s business associates spoke candidly in emails about Hunter Biden’s role in the business, particularly as it related to foreign ventures, apparently viewing the Biden name as a form of “currency,” and bragging that they had a “direct…pipeline” to the Obama-Biden Administration. In another email, Hunter Biden’s associates touted Hunter’s access to the White House and contrasted his willingness to “take on risk” with that of Chris Heinz—then-Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson and a close friend of Biden and Archer—who was uncomfortable with some of their potential partnerships.
As Andrea Widburg noted in her excellent post here, the left has pulled out all stops to create a miasma of confusing information about the frighteningly sharp and clear Hunter Biden emails found on an abandoned MacBook Pro computer, of a crack addict selling access to his father's office for millions in public gain.
The computer itself is evidence, corroborated by additional emails from Biden's associates, in jail or heading there, while the rapacious Hunter skates. There's additional information the Senate investigative report.

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele said in a video released Tuesday that the 2020 presidential election is a choice between “America or Trump” and that he is choosing America and presidential candidate Joe Biden.(Video) “This ballot is how we restore the soul of our nation,” Steele stated in a Lincoln Project ad promoting Biden’s candidacy. He suggested Americans have a clear choice between “electing a good man, Joe Biden, and a trailblazer, [California Sen.] Kamala Harris and ensure an orderly transfer of power, or plunge our country into chaos. America or Trump? I choose America.”
The ugliness that we have recently witnessed including rioting, billions of dollars of property destruction, assaults, murders, and grossly stupid claims about our nation has its origins on college campuses. Two websites, Campus Reform and College Fix, report on the despicable teachings on college campuses across the nation. Let us look at some of it.In response to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson's tweeting that he supports "citizen soldiers" in Kenosha, Wisc., Tressie McMillan Cottom, a black professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science, declared that "they have deputized all white people to murder us."

An activist group is planning large-scale and widespread ‘disruptive activity’ starting on the night of the election, in an attempt to stop what it predicts will be an “attempted coup” by President Trump in the form of a refusal to accept the election results.(Snip)In a separate document, first reported by The Federalist, the group characterizes its planned movement as an "uprising," and calls for potentially blockading the White House, blocking traffic, shutting down government office buildings and even Amazon fulfillment centers.(Snip)Planned organization is only expected to stop once Trump concedes.
Undergoing the kind of painful research project we wouldn’t wish on our worst enemies, one George Mason University media researcher watched a ton of late night material from two major networks and recorded exactly how many jokes were directed at President Trump versus how many were directed at former Vice President Joe Biden.To no one’s surprise, the study found that Trump was mocked by network late night comedians far more than his 2020 presidential opponent, though looking at the numbers is still surreal. According to Robert Lichter, a researcher at GMU’s Center for Media and Public Affairs, Trump was 97 percent of Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert’s mockery,
President Trump is holding a MAGA rally Tuesday evening at 7 PM EDT in Erie, Pennsylvania after two massive rallies in Arizona on Monday.Supporters lined up as far as the eye can see in rainy Erie, PA on Tuesday several hours ahead of the rally.Meanwhile, Joe Biden called a lid for most of the week and is hiding in his Delaware basement.President Trump is going into overdrive and working around the clock to earn votes with only two weeks to go until Election Day.
First lady Melania Trump canceled plans to attend a campaign rally for President Donald Trump on Tuesday due to a “lingering cough” from her bout of COVID-19, her chief of staff said.Stephanie Grisham said the first lady is still recovering from her illness, nearly three weeks after her diagnosis.“Mrs. Trump continues to feel better every day following her recovery from COVID-19, but with a lingering cough, and out of an abundance of caution, she will not be traveling today,” Grisham said.The event in Erie, Pa., Tuesday night would have been the first lady’s first campaign event since the president’s White House speech
A photograph has emerged showing former Vice President Joe Biden posing with oligarch Kenes Rakishev of Kazakhstan, who once reportedly explored business with Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.The photo (above), first published last year at an anti-corruption website called the Kazhakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery (KIAR), purports to show Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, together with Kazakhstan’s former prime minister, Karim Massimov, at far right.At far left, the photo shows Kenes Rakishev, described as “a relative and junior partner of [oligarch] Timur Kulibayev.” Rakishev’s personal website identifies him as an “international businessman, investor and entrepreneur.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren brought a truly apocalyptic warning to Minnesota in her attempts to get voters to support Joe Biden. The Massachusetts Democrat told students in St. Paul over the weekend that “all life” would be subject to extinction if President Trump wins reelection in November. “What has Donald Trump done for four years?” she asked Sunday. “He not only hasn’t made things better; he has actively made them worse. He withdraws from the Paris Climate Accord; he’s put a coal lobbyist in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency. What could possibly go wrong? He has opened up for offshore drilling, and he has
In June, Senator Kamala Harris called President Trump a "clear and present threat to American democracy." Two months later, former President Obama threatened, "This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that's what it takes to win."
This has become a consistent talking point.
Yet these same critics speak and act as if America were irredeemable and American institutions were inconvenient obstacles.
The message of late is that America is racist, unjust, and built to sustain inequity.
The Biden-Harris campaign believes that America exhibits systemic racism. Something with a "systemic" characteristic is tainted to its core.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the Senate will vote next Monday, October 26, to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

The announcement comes after four days of hearings on Barrett’s nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.
President Trump nominated Barrett to fill the seat on the Supreme Court left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
A well-known Republican pollster on Tuesday characterized President Trump’s campaign as "mis-calibrated" and the "worst" he’s ever seen, during a briefing with British strategic advising company Global Counsel. “I’ve never seen a campaign more mis-calibrated than the Trump campaign. Frankly, his staff ought to be brought up on charges of political malpractice,” Frank Luntz said, The Hill reported.
“It is the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching them since 1980," he said, according to The Hill, adding that Trump’s advisers have “their heads up their a--es” if they think Hunter Biden allegations will win them the race. Luntz pointed to polls showing voters care less
HOUSTON, Texas – Police have yet to identify an ex-gang member who Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo called a “hero” for helping one of two officers shot at an apartment complex Tuesday morning.
Sgt. Harold Preston, a 41-year veteran of the department was killed. He had plans of retiring from the force soon.
Acevedo said Sgt. Preston suffered multiple head wounds during the shooting and was also shot in the spine. Another officer, Sgt. Courtney Waller was shot in the arm and is expected to survive. The good Samaritan helped Sgt. Waller by wrapping his arm in a tourniquet and pulling Preston out of the line of fire.
Senator John James of Michigan?
replies
We've been focusing so much on Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina that we may be forgetting that John James has a shot at flipping the U.S. Senate seat in Michigan.
This is from Ed Kilgore:
James was a Republican strategist's dream candidate, especially in the Trump Era: a Black entrepreneur and Iraq veteran who didn't run away from his party and managed to attract robust financial backing. So it wasn't surprising that he launched a comeback campaign against Michigan's other Democratic senator, Gary Peters, who was famous for being not very famous among his constituents.
With no clear end in sight to the pandemic, there is an urgent need for a cure to COVID-19. As scientists around the world work to develop possible vaccines, one 14-year-old girl from Texas has made a new discovery that could lead to a potential treatment. On Wednesday, Anika Chebrolu from Frisco, Texas was named the winner of the 3M Young Scientist Challenge after discovering a molecule that can selectively bind to the spike protein of the SARS-COV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
The competition opened in December 2019 and invited students in grades five to eight to find a unique solution to an everyday problem.
New satellite imagery of California reveals not just the extent of its wildfire damage, but the depth of the loss.
The maps derived from the satellite data show how far two major fires spread as well as how badly each region burned. Darker colors represent near-complete loss — charred landscapes with little to no living vegetation left. Lighter tan regions represent areas where the fire was severe, but some trees and plants still survive.
The satellite data was collected by Landsat 8 on Sept. 26, during a clear day after weeks of smoke that blanketed the Bay Area.
Donald Trump is going to win reelection.
There, I said it.
If all you read is the headline poll numbers, you could be mistaken for believing that Joe Biden has insurmountable leads in all the traditional Blue states, has a lock on most swing states, and is so popular around the world that other countries are petitioning for statehood just so they can vote for Good Old Joe.
Well, that last part is kinda-sorta true, if we’re talking about Communist China and Russian/Ukrainian oligarchs. But that’s a story, and one I’m sure you already know far too well.
Just so we’re clear, here it is one more time: Donald Trump is going to win.
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — Growth slowed Monday for the Cameron Peak Fire, which has grown to 205,004 acres with 51% containment – down from 62% containment on Sunday.
The wildfire, which started Aug. 13 near Cameron Pass and Chambers Lake, is the largest wildfire in Colorado's recorded history after a surge east over last week prompted new evacuations.(Snip)There's a small threat of the fire pushing into Estes Park, fire officials said. There's been ongoing communication with town officials, but evacuations are not an imminent issue.
Firefighters said fire activity could increase due to three consecutive days of dry weather and poor overnight humidity recovery.

The destructive California wildfires are a reminder of Francis Bacon’s observation that “nature to be commanded must first be obeyed.” When political environmentalism tries to impose its will on nature, it will make you pay. (Snip) The costs required to keep the forests from ever burning are potentially huge. “Year after year, environmentalists litigated and lobbied to stop efforts to clear the forests through timber harvesting, underbrush removal, and controlled burns. … What happened among California’s tall stands of Redwood and Ponderosa Pine also happened in its extensive chaparral. Fire suppression along with too many environmentalist-inspired bureaucratic barriers to controlled
Investors are having second thoughts about which election outcome may be best for the financial markets, according to JPMorgan.
Wall Street, which typically likes gridlock in Congress since it thwarts major regulatory changes, now fears a Democratic and Republican split will delay stimulus efforts the economy badly needs. (Snip) Traders on the betting platform PredictIt say there is a 58% chance that Democrats sweep control of the presidency, House and Senate.
Expectations of a so-called blue wave have Democrats feeling confident over the possibility they will be able to ram through a hefty stimulus package in early 2021.
Bevan Cooney is a former business partner of Hunter Biden who is serving prison time for his involvement in a 2016 bond fraud investment scheme.
Cooney was sentenced on July 31, 2019 to serve 30 months in prison for “defrauding a Native American tribal entity and various investment advisory clients of tens of millions of dollars in connection with the issuance of bonds by the tribal entity and the subsequent sale of those bonds (Snip)Cooney, who had a one-time stint working with Biden and his business partner Devon Archer, recently leaked emails revealing the vice president’s son and colleagues used Obama-Biden administration connections to “arrange private meetings for potential foreign clients
It didn’t surprise the informed, and understandably a bit cynical, to hear that the FBI sat on Hunter Biden’s laptop instead of seeking justice. The bureau was previously involved in an illegal plot to take down Donald Trump, after all, and its Deep State elements would assuredly love to see Joe Biden succeed him in January. So why would they reveal damning information on their establishment hope? Yet suppressing Huntergate perhaps provided a secondary benefit:
The information could be used against Biden once he was in office.
This wouldn’t be anything new. It’s believed that longtime, legendary FBI director J. Edgar Hoover used “dirt files” on politicians for leverage;
There are no secrets in Washington. Democrats knew in July 2019 that Ukraine finally was investigating the company that bribed Hunter Biden. Democrats knew that Rudy Giuliani was investigating.(Snip)
Democrats knew that President Donald John Trump was not playing around. (Snip)
His opponent's 50-year-old son collected bribes for his father, snorted cocaine, and abused underage girls provided by Red China. Democrats have known about this since last fall because a computer repairman handed the FBI a laptop filled with incriminating evidence. Whatever the FBI knows, the Democrat Party knows because the FBI works for the Democrat Party. Americans just pay for it.
Military flyovers are a time-honored tradition that are greeted with roars from throngs of patriotic fans at NFL stadiums all over the country. However, given that there are virtually no fans at any NFL stadiums during the pandemic, flyovers over near empty stadiums don’t make a ton of sense. That fact was grasped, discussed, and recorded–unknowingly–by Fox broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on Sunday as the pair were caught panning the flyovers on a hot mic.(Snip) Buck: “That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work.” Aikman: “That stuff ain’t happening with [a] Kamala-Biden ticket
On Monday, rapper 50 Cent took to social media to make his official presidential endorsement. The rapper defied Hollywood and decided to endorse President Donald Trump over former Vice President Joe Biden. 50 Cent's decision to endorse President Trump came after the rapper saw Biden's proposed tax plan.Fox News reports: The star shared an image from what appeared to be a news broadcast, displaying the "top tax rates by state under [the] Biden tax plan." Among the states mentioned was New York, which the broadcast said would be taxed at a rate of 58% while New York City would be taxed at 62%.
The Trump administration has proposed a $1.8 trillion compromise, including another round of $1,200 stimulus checks and a $400 boost in weekly unemployment benefits, as part of an ongoing negotiation surrounding a second COVID-19 stimulus bill.That is still not good enough for Pelosi, however, as she’s chosen to reject the deal — and her party might pay the price on Election Day.
According to a YouGov survey conducted between Oct. 9 and Oct. 11, more Americans blame Pelosi for the lack of progress than blame President Donald Trump.When asked which political figure “is more to blame for the failure to agree on a stimulus bill,” the poll found 43% of respondents
Director Of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday debunked the latest Democrat/media conspiracy theory, saying there is no intelligence that supports the idea that Hunter Biden’s emails are linked to Russian disinformation.
Multiple media outlets on Friday ran anonymously sourced stories claiming that the FBI was investigating the emails as part of a Russian effort to spread disinformation ahead of the 2020 election.
“Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign and I think it’s clear the American people know that,” Ratcliffe said (Snip) one particularly damning email showed that Hunter Biden had introduced his father, then President Barack Obama’s vice president, to a top executive at Burisma
For anyone with any perspective on American elections, it is clear that the polls do not entitle us to predict with any confidence the outcome of the current campaign. Many of the polls included in the average of polls on aggregator sites are really just the products of Democratic Party front organizations, such as Vox, Politico, Quinnipiac, Monmouth, and others whose chief function is to facilitate the Democratic media locker room cry that they’ve already won and the counting of the votes is practically superfluous. Open the beer kegs! The Trump tyranny is already over.
Trafalgar, the only poll that showed Trump winning four years ago, shows him winning again this year.
The highest earners in the states of New York, New Jersey and California could end up facing a combined state and federal tax rate of 62% under Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's tax plan, in what would be the highest tax rate implemented in more than 30 years.The high rate would affect those earning more than $400,000 whilst those earning below that level would likely receive tax cuts, according to the Tax Foundation, a low-tax advocacy group.The analysis does not reflect what people pay in reality, because it does not include any tax dedications, offests or credits, which people all routinely claim and which lead to the effective tax rate.
Gov. Ralph Northam co-wrote a letter Monday to the Virginia Military Institute ordering an investigation into the school’s “clear and appalling culture of ongoing structural racism.” “Black cadets at VMI have long faced repeated instances of racism on campus, including horrifying new revelations of threats about lynching, vicious attacks on social media, and even a professor who spoke fondly of her family’s history in the Ku Klux Klan,” the letter states. The letter was sent to the VMI Board of Visitors President John Boland, and it was co-written and signed by Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, Attorney General Mark Herring and eight state delegates.
Big Tech Burned by Biden Blunder
replies
In my 2019 book, The Social Media Upheaval, I warned that the Big Tech companies — especially social media giants like Facebook and Twitter — had grown into powerful monopolists, who were using their power over the national conversation to not only sell ads, but also to promote a political agenda. That was pretty obvious last year, but it was even more obvious last week, when Facebook and Twitter tried to black out the New York Post’s blockbuster report about emails found on a laptop abandoned by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
The Department of Justice on Tuesday will file an anti-trust lawsuit against Google, claiming it uses its unprecedented power unfairly to preserve its 'monopoly' over the internet. Senior justice officials cited by The Wall Street Journal say the complaint will allege that Google plays favorites with businesses, shutting out any possible competitors, and also uses the billions it makes in ad revenue to boost its own presence on Apple an Android devices by ensuring they become the go-to search engine on smartphones.
Is the average American voter really thinking about all the ways to get back at voters who voted for President Trump? [Tweets] Well, it's what certain influential Democrats want, full blown show-trials and purges, same as the communists pioneered. Seems that equality and redistribution, don't really motivate them in the promises of socialism -- purges, show trials, Gulags and re-education camps are what get them going.
And it makes sense. Socialism has failed everywhere it's ever been tried, every time, every place, every place it's ever been practiced, people are poorer,
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Donald Trump are statistically tied in Pennsylvania, a Restoration PAC/Trafalgar Group survey released Monday — nearly two weeks out from the presidential election — revealed.
The survey, taken October 13-15 among 1,041 likely voters, showed Trump narrowing the gap in Pennsylvania, with Biden leading by just 1.1 percent — 47.5 percent to the president’s 46.4 percent. As has been the emerging theme in several recent surveys in key Rust Belt states, Biden’s lead is within the margin of error, which is +/- 2.96 percent.“The poll included only one day of the existence of explosive new emails

TikTok is the latest social media company to go after the QAnon conspiracy theory. The mega-popular video app is now deleting accounts that post QAnon-related content, NPR reports, an escalation from its previous policy of reducing the visibility of the posts. “Content and accounts that promote QAnon violate our disinformation policy and we remove them from our platform,” the company told NPR. “We’ve also taken significant steps to make this content harder to find across search and hashtags by redirecting associated terms to our Community Guidelines.”(Snip) TikTok’s move comes less than a week after Google-owned YouTube announced that it would ban
Years ago, a young man told me that his generation doesn't care about Rush Limbaugh or Rachel Maddow. Instead, they get their cultural and political information from podcasts and videos. And in the world of podcasts and videos, one of the biggest political stars is 36-year-old Ben Shapiro — who refused to vote for Trump in 2016. This time around, Shapiro has given Trump an enthusiastic thumbs-up, both because of Trump's proven history of conservative governance and because the Democrats have become insane.
In a statement that lasted less than nine minutes, Shapiro opened by succinctly stating the three reasons why he supports President Trump in 2020:
President Trump will be silenced during the second and final presidential debate Thursday night if he tries to raise any issues that might be too uncomfortable for Joe Biden or the swamp that backs him. There can be no question that the Commission on Presidential Debate is doing its utmost to defeat him, further exposing that extent of insider D.C. swamp forces conspiring against him by limiting the access of the American people to relevant information.
Two recent actions by the Commission on Presidential Debates reveal the outrageous information control strategy being implemented.

This time around, Shapiro has given Trump an enthusiastic thumbs-up, both because of Trump's proven history of conservative governance and because the Democrats have become insane.
Ranking modern presidents, from first to worst, is an entirely subjective matter. That said, we’re quite sure Joe Biden will be, if elected, the most destructive president of our lifetimes if not of all time.
At I&I we tend to look at Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama as being the worst presidents from our lifetimes. Carter saw himself as the caretaker of the country’s inevitable decline rather someone who would lift it from its malaise. Obama managed the worst economic recovery in our post-war history, allowed ISIS to grow into a terrorist power, and rolled over for Iran’s mullahs. His
There is no shortage of polls or pundits predicting the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. But “outcomes” include more than simply election results. Who is gaming out how America — and the world — will respond? We are.
While national polls suggest an edge for former Vice President Joe Biden, the winner isn’t determined by national polls. It is determined by who wins the Electoral College. Victory is won in the states.
Scaring Voters into Mail-In Increases Election Uncertainty
Due to the political stoking of fears of contracting COVID-19, a massive push has been made, mostly by the left, to encourage voting by mail. This significantly alters the calculus on Election Day
To put it mildly, 2020 has been one weird year. And these presidential campaigns are no exception. A most striking difference in the current presidential campaigns of President Donald Trump and Joe Biden is the stark contrast in the efforts put forth by these two men in their 70s. [Snip] Some suspect Biden is no longer up to the truly grinding schedule of a real presidential campaign. If that’s the case, is he honestly up to real presidential pressures? The ex-vice president is certainly playing the political version of football’s prevent defense
President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is set to air a new line up of advertisements at midnight tonight targeting Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden on a variety of issues ranging from policy to the growing controversy that he is facing regarding his son. The new ad buy—five ads in all—centers on Trump’s “Promises Made, Promises Kept” campaign theme and casts Biden as someone who has achieved little over his nearly five decades in public office. In a nearly 2-minute ad, the Trump campaign highlights a powerful speech that was given by UFC Champ Jorge Masvidal—a key advocate in Fighters Against Socialism,

Isn’t it odd that Joe Biden and the Democrats have somehow forgotten to use their ultimate weapon against President Donald Trump in this campaign?
How to describe this super weapon? A Chicago Democratic political crook pardoned by Trump might say Joe has thing and it’s bleepin' golden:
Trump’s impeachment in December 2019, making him only the third president in the nation’s history to be impeached by House vote. Wouldn’t you think Biden and the Democrats would be raising that issue, relentlessly, in the battle for Trump’s reelection? Democrats accused Trump of a quid pro quo — that he threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine unless it investigated various Biden family dealings there.
Something strange is going on. People in the media are convinced that Joe Biden is going to win the election. They point to all the polls that were wrong in 2016 and cling to the belief that Trump will lose.Yet they don’t behave like people who believe they are winning.Take Whoopi Goldberg of The View. She recently claimed that she’s in a depression over Trump.The Washington Examiner reports: Whoopi Goldberg says she’s fallen into a ‘depression’ because of Trump: ‘Everything he says is pi**ing me off’ The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg said President Trump’s words on the campaign trail has caused her to sink into a “depression.”
Jeff Bridges has revealed that he’s battling lymphoma. The iconic actor, 70, made the announcement on Twitter Monday night, writing, “As the Dude would say … New s–t has come to light.”“I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good. I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.”“I’m profoundly grateful for the love and support from my family and friends,” Bridges continued.
A federal appeals court on Monday issued a ruling upholding a U.S. District Judge's earlier decision to make public Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued the ruling that upheld a previous decision by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska to permit the release of documents related to a 2015 lawsuit from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. The lawsuit was settled in 2017.
Jeffrey Epstein was discovered dead in jail 2019. His death was ruled a suicide.
The Commission on Presidential Debates has decided to mute microphones to allow each candidate the opportunity for uninterrupted remarks during this week’s final forum.The mute button will be featured at the start of each 15-minute segment during opening comments, according to the commission. After that time, both mics will be turned on without a mute option to enable debate. The rule change follows the first debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden that devolved into a frequently interrupted shouting match.
A federal appeals court ruled in favor of the Texas government Monday, saying mail-in ballots are more prone to voter fraud and blocking a lower court decision that could have upended the state’s signature-match requirement for those ballots.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that under Texas law, in-person voting is the norm and voting by mail is the exception, reserved for special cases such as the elderly and disabled.
And requiring those ballots to be accompanied by a valid signature is not an undue burden, given the state’s interest in preventing voter fraud, the court ruled.
There are conservatives who lie, and there are liberals who lie, but both conservatism and liberalism hold truth to be a supreme value.
This is not true for leftism.
Truth is simply not a left-wing value.
Lying is to the left what breathing is to biological life. That is why the father of modern leftism, Vladimir Lenin, named the Soviet communist newspaper "Pravda," the Russian word for "truth." Truth is what a leftist says it is. It is not an objective reality.
The left has always relied on lies to gain and retain power. This is as true today in the United States as it was in the Soviet Union.
The greatest significance of the Republican wave election of 2010 was not the new majority it produced in the U.S. House. Even greater was its effects down ballot.
Prior to that election, Republicans had controlled only 37 of the nation's 99 state legislative chambers (including Nebraska's unicameral Legislature, whose members are nonpartisan in name only). When the dust settled, they controlled 55. This didn't just create the possibility of making conservative policy at the state level. It also ended decades of Democratic dominance in the all-important redistricting process.
The 2010 election was so important because, for the first time in living memory, it gave Republicans the upper hand in shaping
Starting with the 2016 election, Scott Adams said that Donald Trump is the ultimate showman, and that he understands how to create a narrative. Adams is correct and I knew that, in 2020, it was always going to be Trump who controlled the October surprise. After all, since they subjected Trump to a daily colonoscopy for the last four years, the Democrats have no arrows left in their quiver.
Even the Wuhan virus is proving to be a failure when it comes to destroying Trump. The economy is rebounding; voters understand that China, not Trump, is to blame; Americans have been repulsed by the Democrats’ embrace of covid despotism,
I’ve been writing for American online magazines for over a decade now. One of the critical comments I occasionally receive has to do with the fact that I am Canadian. What right, some of my detractors seem to think, does a Canadian have to meddle in American culture and politics? I usually respond in two ways. (1) I am fascinated by the U.S. and have studied its history for some considerable time. And (2), America is like a great ocean liner and Canada is like a kayak paddling beside it; if America founders, the kayak goes down in its vortex.
Joe Biden, like his mentor Barack Obama, seems to get off on talking tough to Israeli leaders. In this guest post, Stephen Silbiger recalls an early instance of such behavior. He goes on to call out American Jewish leaders for their self-interested disregard of what a Biden administration would mean for Israel and its supporters.
Stephen Silbiger was the chief legislative aide to Congressman Stephen J. Solarz of Brooklyn. He also was the lobbyist for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and was the Washington Representative for the American Jewish Congress. He currently is practicing law in Washington, D.C.
Before the Democratic Party’s lurch to the Left
To prevent Donald Trump from winning a second term, Joe Biden has to reach two goals that Hillary Clinton never approached in 2016. First, he must turn out minority voters in numbers comparable to the historic benchmarks set by former President Obama. Second, he must garner about 94 percent of the Black vote and roughly 72 percent of the Hispanic vote. Not even the implausible polls paid for and promoted by the media show Biden generating anywhere near the level of enthusiasm needed to produce the high turnout required. Nor do they show him reaching the vote percentages he needs among Black and Hispanic voters
Alan Howell Parrot is an unusual character with a flowing gray beard and wizard’s turban who looks like he popped out of a movie. Born in Maine, he followed his fascination with falcons to the Middle East, serving as Chief Falconer to the Shah of Iran and organizing falconry hunts for the royal families of Saudi Arabia. His falconry skills often brought him into Iran, where he says he met Osama bin Laden six times. Parrot claims that both George W. Bush and Barack Obama were fully aware that bin Laden and more than 100 of his top Al Qaeda fighters were sheltering in Iran
Now that a new Mayor is on the way to City Hall in Baltimore, Charm City will soon put its unpleasant history of corrupt elected officials behind them and begin a new era of honesty and transparency in politics. Gone will be the days of Mayors and other top municipal officials going to prison for racketeering, embezzlement, and tax evasion. And once that’s accomplished, they’ll be able to focus on quashing their massive gang violence and murder problems. Trust me. It’s going to be glorious. Oh, wait… there might be a couple of final wrinkles to iron out of this plan. It seems that the city’s top prosecutor,
Joe Biden is the most cosseted presidential candidate in memory.
He has run a minimalist campaign that has avoided the press as much as possible, while the press hasn’t been braying for more access and answers, but eager to avoid anything that could be discomfiting to the campaign.
Never before have the media been so openly fearful of asking or reporting something that might hurt a presidential candidate. What are supposed to be the animating values of our adversarial press — informing the public, getting answers, holding the powerful to account — have all been subordinated to the protection racket that is coverage of Joe Biden.
Oregon’s 4th District congressional race has turned into a competitive and high-spending affair, as a Republican anti-terrorism hero takes on a 34-year Democratic incumbent.
Alek Skarlatos, 28, a former Oregon National Guardsman, and political novice, was one of three Americans who famously thwarted a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train back in 2015. He now appears to be giving Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, a run for his money.
“There’s a sleeper race bucking the trend in southwestern Oregon, where a bona fide anti-terrorism hero is running against 34-year Democratic incumbent and Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Rep. Peter DeFazio (OR-04),” The Cook Political Report stated earlier this month.
Donald Trump's reelection campaign accused Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer of "encouraging assassination attempts" targeting the president on Sunday afternoon, amid escalating conflict between the two political leaders.
Trump's campaign, which uses the handle "Trump War Room" on Twitter, based its allegations against Whitmer on a token with the numbers "8645" clearly visible. The token appeared behind her during an interview with NBC News host Chuck Todd on Meet the Press Sunday morning.
"Governor Gretchen Whitmer displayed an '86 45' sign during her TV appearance. 86 can be shorthand for killing someone," the Trump campaign tweeted, alongside a screenshot
A man hacked to death by a machete-wielding Grindr date was a loyal, trusting friend—and excited about meeting his new love interest, devastated loved ones said Monday. It took three weeks for authorities to determine it was Carlos “Carlitos” Algenis Jimenez, 26, who was killed in a Bronx apartment last month after hooking up with a man he met on the popular dating app. Sources said the victim and the suspect, Juan Alonso, 50, got into a fight about what kind of sex to have.(Snip) The crazed suspect was wearing a dress, bra, panties and fingernail polish, police sources said.
