I'm not sure what civil debate we can expect when our own president is the exact opposite of civil in a debate.
    Two things. You just proved my point and missed my point. Be well.

Now hear me out before calling me completely crazy , but there are a small group of oligarchs that control most of the politicians in most if not all countries by way of blackmail. You can call them the puppet masters. Hahaha I know I can hear it now I’m a “Conspiracy Theorist” . Seriously if you keep an open mind and really research there are lots of sources that explain all that is going on and you won’t find it on main streamed media not even fox. There is a reason that they call it programming. They spew out what they want the people to believe and they do it with repetition (why the CIA called it project mockingbird). I know there will be some or possibly lots that won’t believe it and i admit, before my eyes were open I thought it was crazy. But once your eyes have been opened there is no way you can’t unsee what is going on in this world. Not using Hydroxychloroquine is on purpose to escalate the numbers to cause mass panic. I’m not sure about Brazil, but i know i heard about countries like Vietnam where Hydroxychloroquine is given out regularly for malaria that the cases and deaths are near zero. Also, This next vaccine will be an RNA vaccine (which has never been done before) where it will add a new strand of DNA with ours therefore genetically modifying us. They have been working on RNA vaccines for close to 20 years and the results haven’t faired well with the lab animals at all. Not sure how everyone stands on vaccines but I would suggest not taking it. Every vaccine has MRC-5 (human fetal tissue from aborted babies), thermerasol (mercury based preservative), are loaded with aluminum. US is number 1 in the world with our babies dying the very first day after birth because newborn babies get a Hepatitis B vaccine right after birth! Why? I don’t know any newborns that will be having unprotected sex and sharing needles with anyone. babies can get hepatitis B virus from their infected mothers at birth, and children can get it if they live with or are cared for by an infected person, or even if they share
    personal care items (e.g., toothbrush) with an infected person.
    They don’t even have an immune system yet! Wrong!!! Babies are born with immune systems that can fight most germs, but there are some deadly diseases they can't handle. That's why they need vaccines to strengthen their immune system. Vaccines use very small amounts of antigens to help your child's immune system recognize and learn to fight serious diseases.Crazy!
    Early in Trumps presidency he wasn’t keen on vaccines and notice how he always mentions therapeutics now. And if he wasn’t talking about vaccines then the media would say he wasn’t doing anything to get rid of “The Rona”

    I’m really not crazy fellas and we don’t have to agree on everything. Everyone has a right to believe what they want and I’m in no way saying you have to believe what I say. I’m just putting out what I have researched and found. I would just like everyone to keep an open mind and question everything and research for yourself and find answers. Just glad we have a great forum where we can discuss what we like and even some stuff we don’t like y’all have a Great Day Brothers!

    I’m not wading into this but I have to say you don’t honestly think freedom of speech and watching someone get raped are the same thing do you? One is a right. The other is a crime. You can’t convolute the two.

    It's a twitter video so I can't post it here, follow the hotlink in the headline to watch.

    Orthodox Jews Defy de Blasio & Cuomo, Dance in Streets With Trump Flags

    Can't tell from the video if they're Hasidim or Haredim but judging from the number of shtreimels they're wearing I'm guessing Hasidim.

    The same group gathered outdoors two days ago to burn coronapanic masks and the press still hasn't got energetic enough to commit a random act of journalism and learn which flavor of Orthodox Jew they are.

    EDIT:
    HA! Found a copy of the video on YouTube (which I can link to here):



    EDIT II:
    Now WSJ is reporting that the Jews are Haredim. Which WSJ refers to as "ultra-Othodox" Jews. Except that's not how Judaism works. Nor does it accurately describe how the two differ. At any rate, mystery solved.

    Yelling fire in a crowded theater is a crime not protected by free speech.

    Spreading lies that can cause people harm or death is a crime. (or should be...)

    "Accidental Poisonings Increased After President Trump's Disinfectant Comments"

    https://time.com/5835244/accidental-poisonings-trump/


    So... rape is different than lying...

    But they both can cause harm.

    There are consequences to free speech. That if you spew bullshit and lies, you will be called out and ridiculed for it. That's what we are doing. If you feel the need to defend this guy's actions, I don't have much else to say to you either.

    That is all CapeBuffalo said earlier. Trust me... I trust CapeBuffalo although I disagree with him on some matters.
    He has called me out before BUT he was right in doing so.
    The man has morals. (Again... different than mine in some ways but he is a moral man.)

    Now I get it... Beetleguese spews fourth shit... and when we respond to it we get criticized.
    We feel like we are being singled out.
    But we are criticizing too..

    Let's just be civil about it...

    And thanks for backing me up at times...

    I’ll echo what Cape said about rape and free speech, we can dissect it all we want but it will boil down to semantics. Beetle is often called on his rhetoric as well and although I lean right, some of the garbage he puts out there is outlandish (although some of it I do agree with). I just don’t feel like I need to sheriff it is all. It’s so outlandish that by not dignifying it with a response is all that I can do. You’re making the point that my silence only allows the injustice to occur, I respectfully disagree (but I understand what you’re saying).

    Conversely I don’t feel the need to monitor what the “opposition” is saying either because I believe both sides are entitled to their opinions...and that’s exactly what it is most of the time. Opinions.

    Just because someone doesn’t agree with me and calls me names, that doesn’t make it true. I don’t feel the need to defend it. Beetle started the thread here and you have to know exactly what you’re going to get when you step in here. Most of what I come here for borders entertainment rather than “news”.

    Always appreciate your side as well as Tarmy and now TMO’s opinions as well.

    I just appreciate that a bunch of meat heads also have brains. That really is the essence of what I find appealing. Nice knowing we don’t have to be in a box and are capable of more than just one dimension, regardless of its one we don’t all agree with.

    Biden Refuses To Give Position On “Court Packing”

    ...[T]oday, at a campaign stop, Biden said that he would not reveal his position until after the election. He said, “You’ll know my opinion on court packing when the election is over.”
    Sound familiar? "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it."



    The arrogance is palpable.

    Pelosi, Democrats To Hold ‘Event’ To Discuss The 25th Amendment, Suggesting They’ll Try Removing Trump From Office

    Okay, allow me to translate this for you. The demoncrats are frustrated that President Trump outwits them on a continuous basis so they're planning to use the 25th Amendment to have him declared mentally unfit to hold the office on account of side effects from his coronavirus treatments.

    So what they're suggesting is to use parliamentary trickery to have someone declared POTUS who by definition was never Trump's intellectual equal in the first place. It's a deliberate dumbing-down of the occupant of the Oval Office. Zat about sum it up, Sparky?


    Four years of one failed coup attempt after another, one debunked scandal after another, and this is all they're left with. If his re-election isn't already guaranteed, this should about turn the trick.

    Campaign Demands In-Person Debate as Donald Trump ‘Safe Return to Public Engagement’ by Saturday

    White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said Thursday that President Donald Trump would likely be cleared for public engagements by Saturday after his treatment for the coronavirus...

    ... “The commission must stop protecting Joe Biden from this in-person debate and allow the event to proceed as it was agreed to months ago,” Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien said. “The American people can see through this obvious attempt to shield Biden from another shellacking like he got two weeks ago in Cleveland and the CPD must reverse course and let the debate proceed.”

    President Trump indicates AG Barr has enough evidence to charge Obama admin officials — including Obama and Biden — with spying on his campaign

    'We have everything'

    President Donald Trump appeared to indicate on Thursday that Attorney General William Barr has more than enough evidence to indict members of the Obama administration for spying on the Trump campaign in 2016, including former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden.

    What are the details?

    During a lengthy and wide-ranging interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo Thursday morning — in which the headline news was that he would not participate in a virtual debate — the president also dropped the potential bombshell that the Department of Justice has "plenty" of evidence to go after Obama administration officials.

    "These people should be indicted, this was the greatest political crime in the history of our country, and that includes Obama and it includes Biden," the president said.

    "These are people that spied on my campaign — and we have everything — and now they say 'we have much more,' and I say, 'Bill, we got plenty, you don't need anymore,'" Trump continued....

    Another ‘Russia Collusion’ Conspiracy Theory Collapses as Cambridge Analytica Investigation Ends

    Cambridge Analytica did not misuse data in EU referendum, says watchdog

    ... The data watchdog has closed its investigation into Cambridge Analytica, concluding that the controversial data company did not directly misuse data to influence the Brexit referendum.

    Elizabeth Denham, the information commissioner, said her team also found no evidence Cambridge Analytica aided Russian intervention in the UK political process. However, she warned that the company’s data protection practices were lax “with little thought for effective security measures” and its activities raised broader concerns about the influence of technology in politics.

    Cambridge Analytica had repeatedly claimed in its marketing material to have “5,000+ data points per individual on 230 million adult Americans”, suggesting it had incredible power to micro-target individuals with suggestive political messaging using a giant psychographic database.

    However, the investigation concluded that “based on what we found it appears that this may have been an exaggeration” and much of the company’s activities followed “well recognised processes using commonly available technology”....


    The company was driven out of business two years ago on basis of political pressure regarding charges now proved false.

    The Fringe Revolution: Putting the American Way to the Torch

    Most Americans want law and order and the American way, but a far-left fringe rejects that vision.

    Although the entire country seems to be plagued by riots and revolution, most Americans disapprove of the turmoil. In a 2018 survey, only 8% of the population identified as progressive, and of these, only a portion support Marxism, the driving force behind Antifa and Black Lives Matter. But thanks to the media’s complicity, Americans are not informed that the riots are part of a fringe revolution.

    Hidden Tribes

    According to the Hidden Tribes report in 2018, only 8% of Americans identify as progressive, whereas 67% of the population belong to what it calls the “exhausted majority,” a group disengaged politically.

    Nearly all – 99% – of progressives think immigration is unambiguously good, 96% of them identify as feminist, and 95% agree that police brutality toward African Americans is a severe problem. Unsurprisingly, 99% of them strongly disapprove of President Donald Trump.

    Another prominent belief is that government should take more responsibility so that everyone is provided for. They believe that men and whites – and especially white men – start with an advantage and that people’s outcomes are outside their control. They are not proud of American history and don’t regard political correctness to be a problem.

    Fringe Ideology

    These beliefs and values are fueling the ongoing riots. They are not shared by most Americans, either among liberals or conservatives. By any standard, progressivism is a fringe ideology. Despite this, progressives manage to wield considerable influence.

    The reason for this becomes apparent when we see the areas in which progressives are radically overrepresented: academia, the media, and Hollywood. Conservatives have allowed the radical left to own the commanding heights of culture. The result is that progressives appear to dominate.

    An Awakening Majority?

    The riots and outright attacks on core American values and institutions may have awakened the so-called “exhausted majority.” Although the initial response to George Floyd’s death was a burst of support for Black Lives Matter, the public’s approval of the Marxist organization is now lower than before.

    In a poll conducted by Rasmussen in August 2020, 57% of likely voters said that the riots are mostly criminals taking advantage of the situation. 72% said that they are concerned with the growing level of violent protest nationwide, with 43% saying that they are very concerned.

    Defunding the police – the core issue of Black Lives Matter – is opposed by 66% of voters. The voice of the exhausted majority may be timid, but its opinion is firm.

    Will they Act?

    There is no more potent motivational force than fear. Therefore, concern for the fate of the republic may be driving people out of their dormancy to vote. Although the evidence is still anecdotal, a significant number of liberals and lifelong Democrats are reporting that they will be casting their vote for a Republican president for the first time in their lives.

    They do this, they say, not because they like Trump – but to save the republic. To paraphrase a quote often attributed to George Orwell: In a time of anarchy and chaos, voting for law and order is a revolutionary act.

    Trump has called for many many things...

    Lysol injections...
    Opening up the body and exposing it to UV light...
    White militia and white supremascist violence...
    Forgoing masks...
    More suckers and losers to die for our nation...
    Yet another two weeks for his health care package...
    The pardoning of people who perjure on his account...
    Mexico to pay for the wall...
    More spray tan...


    Shall I go on?

    Funny how on the day that 2 white milita groups try to Kidnap a Democratic Governor and start a civil war...
    The only people he calls out for wrong doing is the former President and the next President.

    But hey... as long as a bunch of insecure folk can have their guns I guess it is alright...
    Meanwhile the insecure had their guns during President Obama and will have their guns during President Biden...
    (Well except these militia that just tried to commit treason.)
    So all the respectable people will keep their guns. Just not anyone trying to end the United States.

In a 2018 survey, only 8% of the population identified as progressive, and of these, only a portion support Marxism, the driving force behind Antifa and Black Lives Matter. But thanks to the media’s complicity, Americans are not informed that the riots are part of a fringe revolution.

    Hidden Tribes

    As Trump Equivocates on White Supremacy, the FBI Warns of Right-Wing Terror
    An intelligence report dated the day of the presidential debate predicts a “violent extremist threat” posed by a far-right militia.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=whit...hrome&ie=UTF-8


    According to the Hidden Tribes report in 2018, only 8% of Americans identify as progressive, whereas 67% of the population belong to what it calls the “exhausted majority,” a group disengaged politically.

    Nearly all – 99% – of progressives think immigration is unambiguously good, 96% of them identify as feminist, and 95% agree that police brutality toward African Americans is a severe problem. Unsurprisingly, 99% of them strongly disapprove of President Donald Trump.

    Another prominent belief is that government should take more responsibility so that everyone is provided for. They believe that men and whites – and especially white men – start with an advantage and that people’s outcomes are outside their control. They are not proud of American history and don’t regard political correctness to be a problem.

    Fringe Ideology

    These beliefs and values are fueling the ongoing riots. They are not shared by most Americans, either among liberals or conservatives. By any standard, progressivism is a fringe ideology. Despite this, progressives manage to wield considerable influence.

    The reason for this becomes apparent when we see the areas in which progressives are radically overrepresented: academia (Now schools are bad???), the media, and Hollywood. Conservatives have allowed the radical left to own the commanding heights of culture. The result is that progressives appear to dominate.

    I guess all the "real" information comes from Breirbart, stormfront, and Q. Makes perfect sense.


    An Awakening Majority?

    The riots and outright attacks on core American values and institutions may have awakened the so-called “exhausted majority.” Although the initial response to George Floyd’s death was a burst of support for Black Lives Matter, the public’s approval of the Marxist organization is now lower than before.

    In a poll conducted by Rasmussen in August 2020, 57% of likely voters said that the riots are mostly criminals taking advantage of the situation. 72% said that they are concerned with the growing level of violent protest nationwide, with 43% saying that they are very concerned.

    Defunding the police – the core issue of Black Lives Matter – is opposed by 66% of voters. The voice of the exhausted majority may be timid, but its opinion is firm.

    Will they Act?

    Yes... They will vote out Trump. Wanna wager a friendly wager?

    There is no more potent motivational force than fear. Therefore, concern for the fate of the republic may be driving people out of their dormancy to vote. Although the evidence is still anecdotal, a significant number of liberals and lifelong Democrats are reporting that they will be casting their vote for a Republican president for the first time in their lives.

    They do this, they say, not because they like Trump – but to save the republic. To paraphrase a quote often attributed to George Orwell: In a time of anarchy and chaos, voting for law and order is a revolutionary act.

    Boss Ray-Gun predicts the rise of the modern demoncrat party ... in 1964



    This man was so brilliant it's a mystery why it took him a further 16 years to get to the White House.

    “The more people I met, the more I detected something deep and unpredictable lurking beneath the surface, something that I wasn’t sure was reflected in the polling data, something that maybe couldn’t even be measured at all. My phone was filling with news: news about wildfires engulfing the West Coast; news about Trump reportedly calling fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers”; news about the death toll from COVID-19 passing 200,000; news of Trump’s admitting to journalist Bob Woodward on tape that he had intentionally downplayed the virus, purportedly to avoid causing a panic. But almost nobody seemed to be talking about these headlines, and when I asked about them, people often didn’t believe them or didn’t care. I felt caught in the chasm between the election as it was being reported by my colleagues in the press and the election as it was being experienced by the voters.”

    Turning the Tables on Democrats’ Russia Hoax

    Director of National Intelligence declassifies startling info about Obama, Hillary and Brennan.

    ... In July of 2016, U.S. intelligence had learned, a foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton proposed that she smear candidate Donald Trump by claiming interference by Russian security services. The notes of CIA boss John Brennan show that he briefed President Obama on the information.

    The declassifications also show that in September of 2016, U.S. intelligence learned that Hillary Clinton approve “a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections.” Intelligence officials referred that information to FBI director James Comey and FBI deputy assistant director of counterintelligence Peter Strzok.

    The FBI pair ignored Hillary Clinton’s violations of intelligence laws and instead launched operation Midyear Exam against candidate Trump and Crossfire Hurricane against President Trump. During both operations, the Democrat-media axis demanded that legislators listen to the intelligence community. In 2020, that has all changed...

    ... This is what happens when a president picks his successor and deploys the upper reaches of the CIA, DOJ and FBI to attack political opponents.

    A Harris-Biden administration would turn back the clock to those dark days. As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens....

    Here We Go: Pelosilly Will Re-Unveil 'How to Remove a President Without an Election' Legislation Friday

    ...This gambit isn’t really intended to pass and become law. Everyone who ever watched Schoolhouse Rock knows how that works. It would have to get through both the House and the Senate and land the signature of one Donald J. Trump, the very target of Pelosi’s scheme. That’s not going to happen, nor does Pelosi even intend for it to happen.

    It’s intended to create doubt that Trump is fit to serve, right now, less than a month before the election, because he contracted and then evidently Trumpinatored the Wuhan virus. It also may be a shiny little laser point for the malevolent media to chase around so they don’t notice Pelosi is the one standing in the way of the next round of stimulus cash. If those airline layoffs happen, it’s on Pelosi, but only if the media reports it accurately. We all know how that will go...

    ... It’s a deeply cynical and somewhat deranged ploy now matter how you look at it. It’s impeachment by another name, at this point.

    It may also suggest which way Pelosi believes the dice will land on Nov. 3 or in the days and weeks after. Are all those swing state gun buyers Biden voters?

    As Allahpundit puts it over at our sister site Hot Air, it’s the swift unraveling of the republic we’re seeing here. Congress doesn’t meet to pass real budgets or laws all that much anymore. Presidents say things, congressional leaders say other things, Twitter gets stirred up with the blue checkmarks and ratios, there’s a lot of sound and fury and the odd executive order, and then the courts do most of the heavy lifting. That’s not how things are supposed to be, but it’s how they are and it’s why Democrats such as Pelosi are treating the perfectly ordinary nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court as if it’s Armageddon....

    Friday News Roundup: Another October, Another FBI Scam to Influence an Election

    Another October, another bit of “right-wing terrorist” horse manure from the FBI. – It’s amazing how this always seems to happen in the runup to a major election, isn’t it?

    The FBI announced yesterday that it had made arrests of a dozen “right-wing terrorists” who were supposedly plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and “overthrow” the government of Michigan. The announcement and arrests of these people, who are actually anarchists – left wing terrorists, not right wing – of course come just in time for the media to use them as a tool to try to influence the upcoming election in favor of the Democrats, which of course is always the agency’s goal.

    Here’s a video of one of the ringleaders, calling President Trump a “tyrant” and “an enemy”, but you are supposed to believe he and his fellow anarchists are actually Trump supporters:


    [sorry, it's a Twitter video that can't be linked to. Click here to watch it.]

    Who are you gonna believe – the FBI or your lyin’ ears and eyes?

    Thus, the sorry trail of FBI efforts to act as a tool of the Deep State to influence every major election cycle since 2016 remains intact, from the FBI-led Spygate effort in 2016 to the transparently mispresented case against registered Democrat Cesar Cayoc and agency coordination with the Mueller-led coup effort in 2018, and now to this. As a political tool, the FBI is first rate. As a law enforcement agency, it is as worthless as a coronavirus mask or an airport x-ray machine.

    The absolute destruction of this once-great American institution will forever be the legacy of Robert Mueller, James Comey and Christopher Wray....

    Democrats Want You to Pay the Media’s Bills

    Daniel Greenfield October 08, 2020

    The media is dying. Its business model is defunct. Its bias has alienated most of the country. In the latest Pew survey, the only group that still trusts the media are Democrats.

    And while so many millions are out of work, Democrats are bailing out the media.

    The wave of consolidations and bankruptcies is sweeping like a fire through major papers. Cable news will be a casualty of demographics and the end of bundling. The end of network television is less than a decade away. Brand names like CNN and MSNBC will soon be where Time, Newsweek, and other news magazines ended up once subscriptions collapsed.

    The media is dying, but it’s not about to die gracefully. It just needs to find money. Lots of it.

    Big Tech billionaires have bought classic newspapers and magazines like Time, The Washington Post, and The New Republic, but those are vanity projects and even Jeff Bezos doesn’t have enough money to subsidize the entire ossified infrastructure of the media.

    But the only people who have more money than the Amazon CEO are the American people.

    The media’s Plan A has been sponging off Big Tech companies like Google and Facebook, pressuring them to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into its operations. Its Plan B is blurring the line between lefty activist non-profits and its newsrooms with organizations like Report for America being funded by Facebook and Google to embed activists into local newspapers.

    Is that going to pay the media’s bills? No. That’s why there’s Plan C. And Plan C is you.

    H.R. 7640: The Local Journalism Sustainability Act was introduced in Congress, backed by a coalition that includes Report for America and the National Newspaper Association, and would offer tax credits for newspaper subscriptions and tax credits for paying the salaries of the radical activists working there. There's also a $5,000 tax credit for advertising in newspapers.

    At a time when millions of Americans are out of work, when families are faced with losing their homes and businesses, Democrats have decided that they should aggressively subsidize a dying industry at the expense of everyone else whose jobs are seen as “non-essential”.

    The countless stores, gyms, bars, salons, and other small businesses going out of business in the epidemic of Democrat lockdowns and lootings could use this kind of bailout. But the Democrats insist that their media messaging operations are vital and should be subsidized.

    While Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who introduced the bill, claims that it will fund “local newspapers”, those local newspapers are largely owned by national operations and hedge funds. While actual local businesses go out of business, Democrats are proposing a bailout for media investors....

    Noted Pollster John Zogby sees pro-Biden bias in other polls

    "...[S]ome of the polls that have come out, I find troubling,” he said, citing CNN, Fox, and YouGov. They give an average 15-point advantage to Democrats. CNN had it a 16-point lead.

    “I’m a Democrat,” he said, but “I just don’t don’t think the sampling is accurate.”

    While the elder Zogby didn’t cite a reason other pollsters are showing a bigger Biden lead, his son Jeremy did — Biden bias.

    “To me, it’s only two things. It’s deliberate, or it's a projection of bias, and I would go with the latter,” he said in their weekly conversation, The Zogby Report. (emphasis added)

    “If you live in an area, and you live in an echo chamber, and most of your friends think a certain way, a lot of times the echo chamber effect is that you tend to project, ‘How could people think such a certain way, clearly, for example, the president is out of mind, and he’s bad for this country, he’s bad for the world, so of course people are going to turn out in droves for Biden.’ I’m afraid that that’s what’s happening, a projection of bias in the data,” he said....

    1. Repair historic harms and end systemic racism

    = Reparations (non-victims extorting non-offenders) and institutionalized reverse-racism

    2. Help everyone get and stay well, and support workers, families, and small businesses as long as it takes.

    = Government-subsidized Covid lockdown until WE tell you otherwise

    3. Working people can’t wait years for jobs to come back, we need millions of jobs now.

    = welfare by another name (= print money now your grandchildren will still be paying back)

    4. Address the deficiencies in how our government cares for us that the pandemic has revealed.
    Guaranteed minimum income
    Free universal health care
    Guaranteed "afforable housing" for all
    Increase the power of labor unions
    Cancel all student debt
    Tax major corporations to death

    = Yet more welfare and entrenchment of Marxist ideology into the American ecosystem

    5. Act now to make us all more resilient to challenges we know we have to confront.
    The Green New Deal (never mind it outlaws 35 Bn kWh of energy production without a plan to replace it,
    and will cost 20x the current federal budget to implement)
    Return of the government-ordered NINJA loans (no income, no job, no assets)
    Environmental justice, however the fuck they care to define it
    Businesses receiving federal loans or bail-out money lose sovreignty (how very Soviet of them)

    "Much more secure" than voting in person ...

    In 1960, Nixon only lost Illinois by 9000 votes and Texas by 45,000. And taking those two additional states would have put him over the top. Which means Nixon could have won with the change of 27,001 votes. So small-scale vote-rigging can have a YUGE impact, even in a nation-wide election.

    ABC's coverage of the Wauwatosa riots omits the fact that the man a black police officer killed was armed and had in fact fired at him first

    They also aired footage of random of individuals (of unsubstantiated identity) claiming it was "murder" and that the criminal was shot in the back while lying on the ground, then conveniently failed to provide any fact-checking, counter-viewpoints or refutation.

    The truth is the only things Officer Joseph Mensah did "wrong" was electing to become a peace officer and learning to shoot better than Alvin Cole could.

    The best way to deal with would-be cop-killers is for the policeman in question to survive the attack and return fire effectively (which actually was one of the founding principles of Second Chance body armor, who pioneered concealable IBA).

    Here Are The Secrets Of Antifa That Undercover Reporters Revealed

    Not a long read. Describes a very sophisticated and cynical operation with one objective: to give the impression that the government no longer can provide for the general population's safety and security.

    You know how in some sports (I'm thinking particularly football, hockey and perfeshnul wrasslin') it seems like the referee never see the first blow, the one that started the fight, but they rarely fail to catch the counter-puncher in the act? That is a principle the rioting "peaceful protesters" seek to exploit at every opportunity. Strike at the police when no one is looking, then be sure to Instagram the video of the police retaliating ... and seemingly overreacting.

    Every one of these people is an armed insurrectionist (whether they're carrying a weapon or not) and needs to be treated accordingly.

    Most of these details might as well have been ripped from today's headlines. This is an even more refined plan than the one the USSR disseminated in the 1970s and 80s (primarily with the aid of their Cuban puppets), resulting in Marxist revolutions throughout primarily the poorest and most poorly-educated countries in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. And even back then it was damned effective.

    Is Biden Coming For Your Guns? To Quote Beto, ‘Hell Yes’ — It’s Right There On His Website

    From his website:

    It’s within our grasp to end our gun violence epidemic and respect the Second Amendment, which is limited. As president, Biden will pursue constitutional, common-sense gun safety policies. Biden will:

    Hold gun manufacturers accountable. In 2005, then-Senator Biden voted against the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, but gun manufacturers successfully lobbied Congress to secure its passage. This law protects these manufacturers from being held civilly liable for their products – a protection granted to no other industry. Biden will prioritize repealing this protection.

    Get weapons of war off our streets. The bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that Biden, along with Senator Feinstein, secured in 1994 reduced the lethality of mass shootings. But, in order to secure the passage of the bans, they had to agree to a 10-year sunset provision and when the time came, the Bush Administration failed to extend them. As president, Biden will:

    Ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Federal law prevents hunters from hunting migratory game birds with more than three shells in their shotgun. That means our federal law does more to protect ducks than children. It’s wrong. Joe Biden will enact legislation to once again ban assault weapons. This time, the bans will be designed based on lessons learned from the 1994 bans. For example, the ban on assault weapons will be designed to prevent manufacturers from circumventing the law by making minor changes that don’t limit the weapon’s lethality. While working to pass this legislation, Biden will also use his executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons.

    Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act. Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.

    Buy back the assault weapons and high-capacity magazines already in our communities. Biden will also institute a program to buy back weapons of war currently on our streets. This will give individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.

    Reduce stockpiling of weapons. In order to reduce the stockpiling of firearms, Biden supports legislation restricting the number of firearms an individual may purchase per month to one.

    We notice it doesn’t say what will happen to someone who says that they do NOT want to participate in a government buyback....


    Biden's website doesn't have to because Eric LwalWell already figured that out for him (see below)


    __________________________________________________ __________________________

    If Biden Wins, This Congressman has a Plan for Gun Confiscation

    Under a bill Eric Swalwell already wrote (the Freedom from Assault Weapons Act) the government will take your ARs forcibly if you don't want to sell them for whatever they decree to be a "fair price."

    And what they choose to label an "assault weapon" (completely ignoring that fact that EVERY FUCKING WEAPON EVER MADE WAS MADE FOR ASSAULTING) is even more limiting and drastic than Klinton's silly AWB was.

    Democrats Don’t Want to Build a Strong America They Can’t Control

    Democrats destroyed the record-shattering 2019 economy and now a Democrat thinks he is going to fix it? Hard pass.

    By Angela Kelley, October 9, 2020

    Apart from the military, the government builds nothing. Citizens and citizen’s companies build things—Obama’s infamous, “You didn’t build that,” Obama quote notwithstanding. Sure, the government, using your hard-earned money, can fund building projects directed at its preferred citizen group and friends of its political campaigns, but by itself government builds absolutely nothing.

    When the government gets out of the way, the economy flourishes and real builders build. That is what President Trump has been doing these past four years for businesses small and large—getting red tape and regulations out of their way so businesses can grow, hire more people, and pay them better wages. He understands businesses and how to make them thrive. The very opposite of what Democrats do and believe.

    Democrats love to regulate. It’s what they live for. They have never met a rule or regulation they didn’t like. They love taxes too. They would like you to believe that the more taxes they impose on working people, rich people, and businesses, the better off everyone will be. Unfortunately, that theory has been tried again and again throughout the history of the United States, and it has never worked—indeed, quite the opposite is true. Higher taxes mean more unemployment, higher prices, and overall economic downturn.

    Democrats know what high taxes and more regulation mean to the American people, and yet they promote it anyway. If you have hardships, they count on you turning to them for help. That’s a win to their way of thinking. A self-sufficient American people doesn’t need them, and those Democrat leaders would quickly find themselves out of power. An aggrieved people tends to blame someone or something for its problems, and Democrats are masters at manipulating that conversation.

    With national media nearly 100 percent behind them and the hateful narrative of the kooky Left, Democrats have successfully divided the country into two very agitated groups. The group on the Left are happily burning down the very cities the group on the Right built, and the group on the Right is furious about it.

    Local Democratic governments, having been tasked with deciding what is best for their citizens during this time of pandemic, have allowed multiple city blocks to devolve into violence and chaos in this “summer of love.” Arson fires flourish during “fiery but mostly peaceful protests,” and Democratic governors have killed multiple thousands of people by.

    Low (and heading lower with the advancement of our treatments) COVID-19 mortality rates put many of these Democratic leaders in an awkward situation. Heavy-handed lockdowns in states having some of the lowest mortality rates from the virus have left people questioning the sincerity of those leaders and whether they actually care about saving lives or if it is more important to them to win a presidential race in November.

    The idea that any modern Democrat really wants to build a strong economy and a peaceful nation is one that requires you to deny your lyin’ eyes. Campaigning on “building back better” is absurdly insulting and arrogant given that the economy has been torn down by Democratic governors and mayors across the country.

    Democrats destroyed the record-shattering 2019 economy and now a Democrat thinks he is going to fix it? Hard pass.

    This is a very short excerpt of a very lengthy article but it's one hell of a read.

    Cultural Marxism's Origins: How the Disciples of an Obscure Italian Linguist Subverted America

    You may have heard the terms “Cultural Marxism,” “Critical Theory” or “Frankfurt School” bandied about. And while you might have an intuitive approximation of what these terms mean for America in the 21st century, there’s a good chance that you don’t know much about the deep theory, where the ideology comes from and what it has planned for America – and the world.

    The underlying theory here is a variant of Marxism, pioneered by early-20th-century Italian Marxist politician and linguist Antonio Gramsci. Gramscian Marxism is a radical departure from Classical Marxism. One does not need to endorse the Classical Marxism of Marx, Engels and others to appreciate the significant differences between the two. He is easily the most influential thinker that you have never heard of.



    Whereas Classical Marxism located what has been called “the revolutionary subject” (the people who will overthrow capitalism and usher in socialism) within the broad working class, primarily in what is now the First World, Gramscism takes a very different approach. This approach underpins most of the social unrest that is gripping America and the West today. In a sense, we are living through the endgame of a Gramscian revolution.

    There are two important diversions that Gramscism has from more traditional Marxist thought: First, that economics was the base of culture and politics. Second, philosophical materialism in the Marxist sense where reality is effectively formed by the means of economic production.

    For Gramsci, culture was more important than either economics or politics. This was what needed to be changed for there to be a revolution. As such, the weapon to be used for revolution was not the economic might of an organized working class, but a “long march through the institutions” (a phrase actually coined by German Marxist Rudi Dutschke), whereby every institution in the West would be subverted through penetration and infiltration.

    Throughout this article, we will use the term “Cultural Marxism” as a catchall to refer to this phenomenon, because it is the most all-encompassing and does not limit us to discussing any one specific variation (Gramsci, the Frankfurt School or what have you). Finally, we should briefly mention that, the claims of Dr. Jordan Peterson notwithstanding, Cultural Marxism is ideologically distinct from postmodernism and deconstruction, both of which are hostile toward Marxism. We will not touch on either postmodernism or deconstruction in this article, though they certainly have been influential on the international left....

    Follow the Science: Health Professionals Say Lockdowns Were a Massive Mistake

    According to the “Great Barrington Declaration,” signed by thousands of health professionals, shutdowns overreached by a mile.

    President Trump caused a bit of a commotion this week when he didn’t die from the coronavirus. Much to the dismay of many folks on the left, he seems to be making a nice recovery from his illness. Perhaps what has offended people more than his continued life is the bravado that he is projecting post-hospitalization at Walter Reed. On Monday, he tweeted in part, “Feeling really good. Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.” You can almost imagine the blood vessels popping in folks’ eyes over at CNN and MSNBC. In these politically polarized times, while half the country mourns the commander-in-chief’s apparent survival, perhaps it’s worthwhile for all Americans (and indeed, folks all around the world) to reconsider the level of pure panic and fear that our governments and the media have instilled in us.

    Trump shoots from the hip and often pisses people off. No shock there. Of course responsible citizens should be concerned about contracting SARS-CoV-2, but should they be irrationally afraid of it?

    Coronavirus is certainly deadly in a small percentage of people who become infected, primarily those with advanced age and comorbidities (i.e. folks like Donald Trump). No one is denying that fact, and no serious medical professional would do so. With time comes data, and with data comes a responsibility for the soothsayers to gaze backwards for a change. True, some said early on that unfocused, unilateral lockdowns were detrimental, but those opinions were mostly viewed as outliers. Not so anymore.

    The “Great Barrington Declaration” came to be after a of world-renowned epidemiologists, economists, and journalists, sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research. The original signers and co-signers are an impressive group of academicians, including well-respected professors from Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, to name a few. As I write this, 5,201 public health scientists and 10,217 medical practitioners have signed this petition. The petition calls for what the authors call “focused protection.” Per the declaration:

    The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk.

    As the authors point out,

    vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.

    It’s worthwhile to read the full document. Until now, politicians have sanctimoniously scoffed at those of us who didn’t support drastic lockdowns because we supposedly weren’t “following the science.” Well, this is a declaration from many of the world’s leading epidemiologists who recognize that lockdowns were a mistake.

    This document with its ever-growing list of co-signers has important implications for the future. We have to decide what kind of world we are going to live in. Most states still have shutdowns of various flavors in place. Already, Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, is starting the second wave of shutdowns in that city in response to a spike in cases. What does case number even matter if most everyone who contracts the virus survives it? And isn’t there a certain amount of risk that living a free life requires? The notion of locking down completely and going into hiding in response to a virus has never been attempted (at least not to this scale), and it’s important that those of us who value liberty and life stand firm in our assessment of government’s actions over the past year: they have been terribly misguided, they have harmed our lives and livelihoods greatly, and we should never allow this to happen again. Never.

    It turns out that President Trump was mostly (but not entirely) correct in his recent Twitter escapade. COVID-19 can be serious and, in very rare cases, unpredictably so. We should all have a reasonable level of fear concerning this virus. We should all take reasonable precautions to prevent spreading this illness. We should not, however, ruin our lives and continue to destroy the engines of the world. It isn’t warranted. The morbidity and mortality rates don’t support it, and a focused approach is far less destructive to the economy and to our overall emotional and physical health. It’s nice to see that increasing numbers of the world’s preeminent public health scientists are finally starting to look at the data and come down on the side of common sense for a change. A bigger challenge will be convincing the bureaucrats and others who are hell-bent on politicizing this situation indefinitely to reconsider. More and more people (scientists and non-scientists alike) will continue to understand just how ridiculous and immoral these shutdowns really are. Logic will eventually triumph. I believe that it always does.

    COVID lockdown debate – Dems want science, they should look at the Great Barrington Declaration

    The Great Barrington Declaration recommends allowing people to live normally despite the virus

    If Democrats truly want to follow the science – rather than the politics -- in the fight against COVID-19, they might want to take a closer look at “The Great Barrington Declaration.”

    Organized by infectious-disease experts Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University, Dr. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, it recommends allowing people to live normally despite the virus while protecting the most vulnerable elements of the population so as to avoid the lockdowns’ devastating physical, mental, economic, and educational impacts.

    The mainstream media has essentially ignored the Declaration, but to date over 5,500 medical and public health scientists and 11,000 medical practitioners have signed it. That numbers continue to grow.

    The Declaration expresses “grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies,” pointing out that the “heaviest burden” is falling on “working-class and younger members of society.”...

    Biden squeezes two insults and a lie into 45-second exchange about packing the courts



    But the short answer is no, the voters don't deserve to know.


    __________________________________________________ __________________________

    Democrat Court-Packing Plans ‘Closer Than a Lot of Republicans Want to Admit and You Should Be Worried About It’

    CARLSON: For a guy who has been in politics all of his life, Joe Biden has never learned to lie very well. You think he would have picked up some flair over the years, given the extensive practices had, but no. Biden still tells whoppers like a child, like that insecure fat kid in your sixth-grade class who was always bragging about how his dad was a secret agent, when actually he worked in insurance.

    So there was a scary gang guy called Corn Pop, he was going to kill me. So I beat him with a chain, then I went to South Africa to free Nelson Mandela from jail, but a bunch of Nazis arrest me at the airport, but I fought them off and — okay, Joe, you say to yourself.

    You’re kind of embarrassed for the guy. It’s just so transparent and dumb. But Biden isn’t embarrassed. He assumes you believe him or maybe he is so deep in his internal fantasy world, he doesn’t care what you think.

    Either way, he keeps going tall tale after tall tale. And then I went to a segregated black college, top of my class. The guys there love me.

    The whole thing is weird, it’s a little sad. What’s interesting, though, are those moments in which Joe Biden doesn’t lie, when instead he decides to tell the truth in the face of criticism. That’s not an easy thing to do for a man who is desperate to be loved. So you’ve got to ask yourself, why is he doing it? It’s happening right now. It’s interesting.

    Repeatedly, Biden has been asked in recent weeks whether he plans to pack the Supreme Court with partisan Democrats if he is elected. The answer is obvious. Of course, I would never do that. I’m not a radical. I’m moderate. I’m from Scranton. You can trust me.

    And in fact, that’s essentially the answer Biden has given on a bunch of different issues like a fracking ban or the Green New Deal. He used to support those things. Now, he claims he doesn’t support them. It’s an election year, he wants to win, he’ll say anything.

    But again, what’s weird is that Biden isn’t trying to reassure you that he won’t pack the Supreme Court. Most Americans don’t want them to do that. They don’t want to destroy an entire branch of government and turn into a political judiciary. They know that’s a bad idea.

    But again, Biden is refusing to reassure them. What does that tell you? It tells you that packing the Supreme Court is the one thing Joe Biden is certain to do if he is elected.

    Listen to his answer on the question from yesterday. Notice, he doesn’t even bother with a colorful story. Here it is....

    Putin: Democrats Insulting Trump ‘Enhances Our Prestige,’ Plays ‘Into Our Hands’; Trump’s Been Hard On Us; Communists And Democrats Have ‘Common Values’

    ... Putin said, “By the way, when anyone tries to humiliate or insult the incumbent head of state, in this case in the context you have mentioned, this actually enhances our prestige, because they are talking about our incredible influence and power. In a way, it could be said that they are playing into our hands, as the saying goes.”...

    OMG! NO ONE Is Showing Up to Biden-Harris Events and NO ONE Is Watching Online – Biden-Harris Have Only 3% of President Trump’s Online Viewership

    The 2020 campaign is shaping up to become one of the most lopsided elections in history.
    The media wants us to believe Biden is ahead in the polls but the President Trump is crushing Biden in events and viewership, in person and online.


    The Democrats and their media continue to force their garbage polls down Americans’ throats. But the reason we know their polls are garbage is by looking at the data...

    ... Since Labor Day the President has entertained more than 250,000 supporters at his events compared to Biden with a little over 300 supporters at his events.

    And this is despite President Trump’s recent illness!...




    The demoncrats are trying to lay this off to their constituents fear of going out due to the coronapanic but goes nowhere near explaining why Biden only draws 3% as many viewers online and on TV as Trump does.

    Unless you're entirely politically tone-deaf you can't possibly look objectively at the lopsidedness of those numbers and NOT smell the stench of a dead candidacy.

    You can’t even fact check your post. How desperate must you be to keep posting this stuff. You are resorting to completely made up stuff, not that is something new.

    “Hundreds of protestors clashed over lockdown measures in Dublin city centre on Saturday with gardaí at times struggling to contain violent exchanges between both sides.

    A protest by anti-mask and anti-lockdown groups, including the right-wing National Party, was organised to take place outside Leinster House at 1pm on Saturday. However, scuffles quickly broke out when the demonstration was met with a group of counter-protestors.”

    I find it strange how these politicians keep refusing to answer this question. Especially Kamala’s answer to this question when Pence respectfully asked Harris (who actually said her running mate Joe Biden was a racist in 2016) to tell the people yay or nay , then started to make up a story about Abraham Lincoln lol (which was proven false btw).

    So far im not liking the democrats too well, i know Trump talks about how good he is and i dont like that either but so far democrats havent done anything to sway my vote and deliberately not asking questions really pisses me the fuck off
