2020: Debate – Kristen Welker, Thursdays presidential debate moderator, comes from a strongly Democratic family that gave enough money to Obama, they were invited to the White House for Christmas.

“Anyone who’s ever dealt with Welker knows she’s an activist, not a reporter. The White House press team views her the same way they would AOC or Pelosi if they walked in the office,” a senior White House official told The Post.

2020: North Carolina – C-SPAN only filmed six people at Kamala’s gig, but there may have been as many as a dozen.

2020: The difference could not be more stark … or more important. One example: The unemployment rate of 10.5% in blue states is 59% higher than the 6.6% rate in red states.

AVENGERS: Six Avenger stars held a fundraiser for Kamala Harris, which Chris “Star Lord” Pratt declined to join. The cancel culture Twitter mob dumped on Pratt. Kudos to Robert “Iron Man” Downey Jr. for tweeting support:

What a world… The “sinless” are casting stones at my #brother, Chris Pratt… A real #Christian who lives by #principle, has never demonstrated anything but #positivity and #gratitude… AND he just married into a family that makes space for civil discourse and (just plain fact) INSISTS on service as the highest value.

If you take issue with Chris,,, I’ve got a novel idea. Delete your social media accounts, sit with your OWN defects of #character, work on THEM, then celebrate your humanness… @prattprattpratt I #gotyerbackbackback

FACEBOOK: Facebook’s algorithm flagged a Babylon Bee (i.e., satire) article.

Okay, fine. It’s a dumb computer. BUT, after a manual review, Facebook decided they would stand by their decision to remove the article and demonetize the Babylon Bee page. Their reason? They say this article “incites violence.”

BTW, the piece was literally a regurgitated joke from a Monty Python movie.

A Black Lives Matter leader said that if change doesn’t happen, they’ll “burn down this system.” That’s allowed on Facebook. You can quote it. You can link to it.

But a Monty Python joke about burning a witch at the stake? That’s unacceptable.

GOOGLE: The Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google. Eleven Attorney Generals, all from Republican states, are joining the lawsuit as plaintiffs. They include Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina, and Texas.

Peterson just made his first new video in 18 months in which he explains that he was fighting through a very serious illness. I found it very interesting that he, a Canadian citizen who supposedly has access to “great” health care for free, chose instead to pay cash at American hospitals.

KANSAS: It never ceases to boggle my mind that these people can be so outrageously abusive, yet continue to say we are the ones causing all the hate.

MEDIA BIAS: Trump tweeted the full 38 minutes of his interview by 60 Minutes with the tag line, “Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS. Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA.”

RUDY GIULIANI: Common Sense 10/21/2020 – More deeply disturbing revelations about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Warning: Child porn.

On Monday, Giuliani delivered to Delaware police a report about possible endangerment and sexual exploitation of children. The report included photographs and texts that were on Hunter Biden’s laptop. The material has been forwarded to the Delaware Department of Justice.

“There are many texts which I gave to them that point out that family was concerned about the safety of the child,” Giuliani said. “I will tell you the evidence I gave them states it was reported to Joe Biden. What did he do about it?”

Also concerning is, What did the FBI do about this? They’ve had a copy of Hunter’s hard drive for a very long time.

SOCIAL MEDIA BIAS: Twitter and Facebook have censored the president’s social media accounts and the accounts belonging to his re-election campaign at least 65 times. Ninety-eight percent of the instances of censorship occurred on Twitter.

In contrast, the companies have not censored former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his campaign accounts. At all.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – The attacks from the left are becoming more relentless, but we don’t have to standby and take the abuse. In the last two days, I have been called delusional and racist for supporting President Trump and those were the nice things I was called.

I personally refuse to stand silently hiding anymore. No one should live in fear because of their political beliefs. In the immortal words of one of our Founding Fathers:

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” – Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776.

2020: I just thought of one up side to Trump’s mic being off. He can needle Joe without being heard. I have a suspicion that Joe is easy to rattle and that his dementia will get worse when he’s rattled.

2020: Crooked Joe – He’s running on a “morals and values” platform. Now we hear from Tony Bobulinski that Joe was secretly been playing footsie with China to line his own pockets.

On Wednesday night, Bobulinski issued a statement in which he confirmed he was a recipient of the May 13, 2017 email on Hunter’s laptop. He described himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Joe’s brother Jim in the China scheme.

He confirmed that “the big guy” (who was supposed to get 10% of the millions) was then-VP Joe Biden, who he said was a willing and eager participant in the scheme to partner with a shady Chinese Communist firm.

ACB: The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12-0 to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court despite the Democratic members of the panel boycotting the hearing.

The nomination will now move to a full Senate vote on Monday. Democrats promise to boycott that vote as well.

BHO: Philadelphia (pop. 1,584,064) – How the mighty have fallen! “Once upon a time, Barack Obama had the world at his feet.

CHINA: Plus, you know, China and the Slimestream Media both LIE A LOT. China wants the world to think its situation is better than it likely is, while Democrats wants ours to look worse, so they can continue to blame Trump.

So who is to say what the actual situation with COVID-19 is in either country?!

I still do not know a single person who caught the disease. I know one person who had a co-worker test positive, but he tested negative. And I know one person who has a neighbor who had a relative that died.

I was at the dentist yesterday and expressed compassion for their discomfort. The tech I was talking to was wearing TWO masks, a plastic face shield, a paper gown and gloves. She said it had gotten easier with cooler weather. I bet!

I asked if she knew anyone who had caught the disease and she said no. Meanwhile, the traffic outside the office was back to normal and the restaurant next door was open. Where exactly are all the people still DROPPING LIKE FLIES due to “Donald Trump’s mismanagement”?

FBI: The FBI has confirmed that (a) it is in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop and (b) both FBI and Justice Department officials concur with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe’s statement that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

IRAN: The FBI has confirmed that Iranian (and also Russian) agents are working to sway voters away from Trump and toward Biden. This one fact alone should be enough to convince PATRIOTS to vote REPUBLICAN this year!

MEDICARE: Average Medicare premiums have dropped by 34% since President Trump took office. Some states have experienced price reductions of over 50% or more. Medicare prescription drug prices have also declined, with premiums down 12% on average.

TUCKER: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=657037178510940 [10:02] – Voters are stupid and need to be protected from information that might encourage them to not vote for Democrats. Also, Chris Cuomo is a pompous hypocrite. (Tucker is amazing at dead pan mockage.)

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – My sister, who I love and respect, wrote on Twitter today that anyone who votes for Trump is dead to her. The hate from the left is so intense, yet they keep saying Trump and Republicans are the ones spreading the hate. I have not once attacked anyone for their beliefs.

Are my beliefs, are my fears, are my hopes for this country not as important as theirs? Am I just supposed to be okay with censorship and being told I am a bad person because I am white? I was walking in NYC Sunday night and a man told me to go f*** myself and spit on me. I didn’t do a thing to him.

I will never vote Democrat again. I made that decision when Nancy ripped up the speech, but the nail in the coffin were the riots and looting and the screams to defund the police and the mainstream media and friends and family denying it.

This American will always support our police. I will always stand for our flag and I will always respect the Constitution of the greatest country on earth!! I am exhausted I am sad, but I am also pissed and I will stay strong!!!

BIG TECH BURNED BY BIDEN BLUNDER

By Glenn Harlan Reynolds [aka, Instapundit]

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 emails, some of which have been confirmed as genuine with their recipients, show substantial evidence that Hunter Biden used his position as Vice President Joe Biden’s son to extract substantial payments from “clients” in other countries. There are also photos of Hunter with a crack pipe, and engaging in various other unsavory activities. And they demolished the elder Biden’s claim that he never discussed business with his son.

That’s a big election-year news story. Some people doubted its genuineness, and of course it’s always fair to question a big election-year news story, especially one that comes out shortly before the election. (Remember CBS newsman Dan Rather’s promotion of what turned out to be forged memos about George W. Bush’s Air National Guard service?)

But the way you debate whether a story is accurate or not is by debating. (In the case of the Rather memos, it turned out the font was from Microsoft Word, which of course didn’t exist back during the Vietnam War era.) Big Tech could have tried an approach that fostered such a debate. But instead of debate, they went for a blackout: Both services actually blocked links to the New York Post story. That’s right: They blocked readers from discussing a major news story by a major paper, one so old that it was founded by none other than Alexander Hamilton.

I wasn’t advising them — they tend not to ask me for my opinion — but I would have advised against such a blackout. There’s a longstanding Internet term called “the Streisand effect,” going back to when Barbara Streisand demanded that people stop sharing pictures of her beach house. Unsurprisingly, the result was a massive increase in the number of people posting pictures of her beach house. The Big Tech Blackout produced the same result: Now even people who didn’t care so much about Hunter Biden’s racket nonetheless became angry, and started talking about the story.

As lefty journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote in The Intercept, Twitter and Facebook crossed a line far more dangerous than what they censored. Greenwald writes: “Just two hours after the story was online, Facebook intervened. The company dispatched a life-long Democratic Party operative who now works for Facebook — Andy Stone, previously a communications operative for Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, among other D.C. Democratic jobs — to announce that Facebook was ‘reducing [the article’s] distribution on our platform’: in other words, tinkering with its own algorithms to suppress the ability of users to discuss or share the news article. The long-time Democratic Party official did not try to hide his contempt for the article, beginning his censorship announcement by snidely noting: ‘I will intentionally not link to the New York Post.’”

“Twitter’s suppression efforts went far beyond Facebook’s. They banned entirely all users’ ability to share the Post article — not just on their public timeline but even using the platform’s private Direct Messaging feature.”

“Early in the day, users who attempted to link to the New York Post story either publicly or privately received a cryptic message rejecting the attempt as an ‘error.’ Later in the afternoon, Twitter changed the message, advising users that they could not post that link because the company judged its contents to be ‘potentially harmful.’ Even more astonishing still, Twitter locked the account of the New York Post, banning the paper from posting any content all day and, evidently, into Thursday morning.”

This went badly. The heads [of] Facebook and of Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, are now facing Senate subpoenas, the RNC has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, arguing that Twitter’s action in blacking out a damaging story constituted an illegal in-kind donation to the Biden Campaign, and most significantly, everyone is talking about the story now, with many understandably assuming that if the story were false, it would have been debunked rather than blacked out.

CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted: ”Congrats to Twitter on its Streisand Effect award!!!” Big Tech shot itself in the foot, and it didn’t stop the signal.

Regardless of who wins in November, it’s likely that there will be substantial efforts to rein in Big Tech. As Greenwald writes, “State censorship is not the only kind of censorship. Private-sector repression of speech and thought, particularly in the internet era, can be as dangerous and consequential. Imagine, for instance, if these two Silicon Valley giants united with Google to declare: henceforth we will ban all content that is critical of President Trump and/or the Republican Party, but will actively promote criticisms of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

“Would anyone encounter difficulty understanding why such a decree would constitute dangerous corporate censorship? Would Democrats respond to such a policy by simply shrugging it off on the radical libertarian ground that private corporations have the right to do whatever they want? To ask that question is to answer it.”

“To begin with, Twitter and particularly Facebook are no ordinary companies. Facebook, as the owner not just of its massive social media platform but also other key communication services it has gobbled up such as Instagram and WhatsApp, is one of the most powerful companies ever to exist, if not the most powerful.”

He’s right. And while this heavyhanded censorship effort failed, there’s no reason to assume that other such efforts won’t work in the future. Not many stories are as hard to squash as a major newspaper’s front page expose during an presidential election.

As I wrote in The Social Media Upheaval, the best solution is probably to apply antitrust law to break up these monopolies: Competing companies would police each other, and if they colluded could be prosecuted under antitrust law. There are also moves to strip them of their immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects them from being sued for things posted or linked on their sites on the theory that they are platforms, not publishers who make publication decisions. And Justice Clarence Thomas has recently called for the Supreme Court to revisit the lower courts’ interpretation of Section 230, which he argues has been overbroad. A decade ago there would have been much more resistance to such proposals, but Big Tech has tarnished its own image since then.

Had Facebook and Twitter approached this story neutrally, as they would have a decade ago, it would probably already be old news to a degree — as Greenwald notes, Hunter’s pay-for-play efforts were already well known, if not in such detail — but instead the story is still hot. More importantly, their heavy handed action has brought home just how much power they wield, and how crudely they’re willing to wield it. They shouldn’t be surprised at the consequences.

2020: A new IBD/TIPP presidential poll was released on Tuesday showing Biden 48.1% vs. Trump 45.8%. With a difference of 2.3 points and an MOE of +/- 3.2, Trump and Biden are statistically tied.

Biden’s lead in this poll has dropped steadily from its peak of 8.6 points on Oct. 13.

2020: Biden is hiding out in his basement during the home stretch – “How outrageous it is for Biden to be so smug and secure in his victory, so smug and secure the national media will campaign on his behalf, that he thinks he can sit it out, hug the ball, run out the clock, while President Donald Trump is out there doing two and three events a day — while being president.” – John Nolte

ALASKA: Homer – CLICK https://twitter.com/Not_the_Bee/status/1317822833653960705 [:32] to see a moose with mad soccer skillz.

BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://twitter.com/Not_the_Bee/status/1317925507900579840 [1:06] to see body cam footage of white cops saving a suicidal black man. After the man was safely pulled back from the ledge, the cops said, “I just could just hear it in his voice, he started crying. You could hear him weeping and I just remember telling him I loved him. I thought he needed to hear that. I had so much compassion and so much love for the man that I wanted him to know that people care about him. I never met him ever in my life. I believe that I was put there in that moment of time for that reason. I know in my heart that man will succeed in life.”

CALIFORNIA: Baldwin Park – On Sunday night, a drop-off box for filled-in ballots was set on fire. Many of the more than 200 ballots that were inside the ballot box were destroyed.

FLORIDA: Clearwater [1:12] – Brian Kahrs calls this his “blue collar limousine.”

GUN CONTROL: It looks like the Left’s long-time efforts to disarm Americans is one of the victims of the coronavirus. Between mid-March and mid-July, 110,000 guns were sold in California. Nearly half of these (47,000) were sold to first-time gun owners.

HUNTER: CLICK https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1318537680926494720 [:30] to see Trump’s hard-hitting new ad.

The Biden campaign’s non-denial denials and the Slimestream Media’s “Russian disinformation” baloney are absurd and, frankly, insulting. The hard drive contains thousands of actual emails that other people on the email chains have confirmed. The hard drive also contained thousands of private pictures and text messages which further prove authenticity. And now we have a signed and dated receipt.

Donald Trump was quite literally impeached on less evidence than this. But don’t hold your breath waiting for Thursday’s debate moderator, Kristen Welker, to ask Joe a single question about it. She’s an anchor at NBC.

MICHIGAN: CLICK https://twitter.com/Not_the_Bee/status/1317814537479925762 [:13] to hear Joe Biden call Gretchen “Jackboots” Whitmer the “best governor in America.”

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE COMMISSION: It’s supposed to be bipartisan, but all the Republicans are Never Trumpers, which explains why, as soon as the Hunter Biden scandal broke, the debate commission changed the subject of Thursday’s debate. It was supposed to be about foreign policy. Oops. They also decided they’re going to mute Trump’s mike when they feel like it.

QANON: The article linked below explains the so-called Q movement. If it’s real, it reminds me a lot of Deep Throat from the Watergate era.

According to the author, “QAnon” doesn’t actually exist. It’s shorthand for the anonymous tweets posted by nobody-knows-who about deep state corruption. No one in the general public even knows who Q is or if s/he is a single person. Some believe Q is a group of nine individuals, 6 military intelligence and 3 civilians. There appears to be some coordination between Q and Trump, which would make sense, since he has long promised to drain the Swamp.

At Trump’s town hall last week, moderator Savannah Guthrie pressed the president to condemn QAnon, which she called a fringe conspiracy cult. But there is no group. There is no charismatic leader, no official website, and no membership roster.

And unlike BLM and Antifa, “it” neither organizes rallies nor supports violence. So why did Guthrie lump it with white nationalism? Why has the Slimestream Media published numerous articles critical of it? And why are social media groups dedicated to discussing it banned?

Maybe, just maybe, the Left is so twitchy about QAnon, because Q is real and the information he/she/they drip out through anonymous internet posts are a genuine threat to the Swamp.

We can hope.

RUSH: Basically, Savage was suggesting that Limbaugh should go off somewhere now and die quietly instead of sharing his journey with his millions of loyal radio listeners. What a jerk.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook and Twitter tried to squash the New York Post’s blockbuster story on Hunter Biden’s emails. It kinda sorta backfired on them … BIG TIME.

The Post’s story generated 2.59 million interactions (likes, comments, shares) on Facebook and Twitter last week — more than double the next biggest story about Trump or Biden.

Five of the 10 biggest stories were about the Hunter Biden story, the fallout, or how Facebook and Twitter reacted.

It was the 6th-most engaged article this month, trailing pieces like Trump testing positive for COVID-19 and Eddie Van Halen’s death.

Eighty-three percent of the interactions happened on Facebook, with the other 17% on Twitter.

SOROS: Democrats love to decry billionaires dumping big, dark money into Republican campaigns, but nobody on our side can hold a candle to George, the Nazi Jew.

He has poured $68.5million into trying to defeat Republicans this year. He only spent a paltry $22 million during the last presidential cycle.

TOOBIN: Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended by the New Yorker. He has also been granted some time off from his gig as CNN’s Chief Legal Analyst to deal with “a personal issue.”

Brian “Dumbest Man on Television” Stelter reported for the “Most Trusted Name in News” that “Jeffrey Toobin has been sidelined at a pivotal moment in the run-up to the presidential election. The reason: He exposed himself during a Zoom call with New Yorker colleagues in what he says was an accident.”

Sidelined? Accident? Way to minimize the fact that your network’s jerk-off legal analyst subjected his colleagues to graphic and unwanted sexual abuse. He should be fired, not suspended.

“If you can’t get through a conference call without jerking off you need help.” – Dana Todd

VOTER FRAUD: According to an analysis by Judicial Watch, 353 counties in 29 U.S. states have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. This is a slight improvement over last year, when a similar study found 372 such counties.

In addition, eight states have statewide registered voter totals that exceed 100 percent of eligible voters. These include Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Of these, Michigan is the only one considered to be a swing state for 2020.

States are required under a federal law approved in 1993 to make all reasonable efforts to maintain updated voter registration rolls, but enforcement of the statute was almost nonexistent until recent years when Judicial Watch began suing individual states.

RE: The graphic above – When I googled “voter fraud memes” looking for something to illustrate this story, MY graphic popped up … in the top row. How cool is that! 🙂

WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Women’s March – The Left condemns Trump supporters not as people who disagree with them about policy, but as deplorable people who must be unhinged and brainwashed to support a fascist like Donald Trump.

CLICK https://twitter.com/ChuckModi1/status/1317499588975230976 [:20] to see the irony. Or maybe just leave it at trying to unsee that banner …

WHISTLEBLOWER: Two Americans have published evidence that the U.S. government agreed to let Osama bin Laden and more than 100 of his top guys to shelter in Iran with their families in exchange for not targeting the U.S. again after 9/11.

The whistleblowers say that top people in both the Bush and Obama administrations – including Presidents Bush and Obama, VP Joe Biden, SecState Hillary Clinton, CIA Director John Brennan, and FBI Director Robert Mueller – all knew about it.

They say Obama’s $150 billion Iran deal was about buying Iran’s silence about the deal and that it was Hillary Clinton who arranged to move bin Laden to Pakistan for a “trophy kill” to ensure Obama’s reelection.

Bin Laden was never meant to survive his “arrest”, because nobody at the top wanted him alive to testify that two administrations – Republican and Democrat – had arranged for him to continue operating his terror organization in safety, just so long as he didn’t order any hits inside the U.S.

I feel sick.

GRAMMY NOTES: It’s an odd fact that total strangers feel comfortable asking personal questions of and offering unsolicited advice to pregnant women.

One very common question is, “Do you want a boy or a girl?“

I absolutely refused to answer that to anyone, even my husband, because I never ever wanted my kid to have someone say years later, “You mother wanted [what you aren’t].”

I’m not good at being rude, so instead of saying, “None of your business,” I’d say, “I’m really hoping it’s not a puppy or a kitten.”

One person stuttered and said, “Oh right. Just so long as it’s healthy.“

“Well, even if it’s not, we’re not going to leave it at the hospital.”

I could almost hear that person’s jaw hit the ground.

CALIFORNIA: San Francisco – On Saturday, a large, predominantly white Antifa crowd showed up to disrupt a small Free Speech Rally and Protest that had been organized by Philip Anderson.

At one point, a white guy from Antifa punched Anderson in the face while his cohorts yelled “Back up, n****r, back up!” https://twitter.com/livesmattershow/status/1317692771084324865 [:31].

The Antifa mob got so unruly that LEOs packed the Free Speech protesters into a police van and drove them away in a high-speed escape https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1317579700965879808 [:45].

Anderson tweeted an image of the damage the punch did to his face (above). “Antifa attacked me for no reason. These people are racist terrorists.”

He also tweeted, “I have a question for you, Joe Biden. Do you still think Antifa is just an idea? This is what the ‘idea’ you’re talking about, Antifa, this is what they did to me.”

Twitter suspended his account.

COVID-19: Democrats have criticized President Trump’s campaign rallies are “superspreaders” of the coronavirus. State health officials responsible for maintaining such data say that Covid-19 numbers do not support this claim.

FEMINAZIS: On Sept. 28, the Kappa Delta national organization tweeted its pride in alumna Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

“While we do not take a stand on political appointments, we recognize Judge Coney Barrett’s significant accomplishment. We acknowledge our members have a variety of views and a right to their own beliefs.”

When Feminazis blasted the organization, they deleted the tweet and actually apologized and thanked the thuggish speechmeisters for “holding us accountable.”

FLORIDA: On Monday, The Donald appeared in Florida to a packed auditorium. More than 120,000 people watched via live stream.

On Tuesday, Joe appeared in Florida where an estimated 60 people attended IRL. But only ten of them were audience. The rest were journalists, Biden staff, and technicians. An additional 1,700 viewers watched via live stream.

Biden is supposedly ten points ahead of Trump in the polls. ::snork:

HUNTER: So far, the MSM coverage of the Biden scandal has been limited to criticizing the fact that the scandal is being reported. Their focus has been on Rudy Giuliani being Trump’s lawyer and how “some intelligence sources” claim the whole thing is a Russian disinformation campaign.

Meanwhile, Real Clear Investigations reports that virtually all the jobs that Joe’s wastrel son ever listed on his resume came courtesy of Joe’s political donors, lobbyists and allies.

JEFFREY TOOBIN: The New Yorker has suspended its legal analyst after he was seen pleasuring himself during a Zoom call that included notables from New Yorker notables and WNYC.

He thought he’d turned his camera off. Oops.

It wasn’t the first time the Toobin Schlong got him into the headlines. In 2008, it came out that he had fathered a child while engaging in an adulterous affair with a fellow employee at CNN.

But yeah, Jeff … you go right ahead and make snarky remarks about the allegedly “credible” (NOT) accusations of sexual misconduct that Republican SCOTUS nominees have had thrown at them.

MASSACHUSETTS: Boston – An Anti-Trump rally in this historic city got really weird. Or maybe Satanic. https://twitter.com/ElijahSchaffer/status/1318106416834629633 [1:17]

NEW YORKER: There’s a new game on the internet. It’s easy to play. Just find an old New Yorker cartoon and replace the caption with “Jeffrey Toobin took his dick out on a Zoom call.”

RIDING THE DRAGON: Worth watching [41:19] – The full documentary revealing the secret world of Joe Biden and his family’s relationship to China and the sinister business deals that enriched them at America’s expense.

“Someone told me — I think this is good advice, may be helpful — the only thing that any of us are certain of is right now, today. That’s why I thank God every morning when I wake up. I thank God that I did. I try to make it the best day I can no matter what. I don’t look too far ahead. I certainly don’t look too far back.”

TRANS: Ben Shapiro says genetic males cannot be females and an mtf trannie sneers, “You don’t know anything about genetics” then lays hands on him and threatens him with a beat down if he says it again.

TWITTER: The New York Post reviewed the personal tweets of Twitter’s senior execs and found a litany of venom and vitriol directed at President Trump. Samples include:

“GET HIM OUT.”
“What a f–king baboon.”
“crush [Trump] in the election”
Hoping the president would “be utterly humiliated while also suffering greatly from #COVID19.”
Fantasizing about the president being put on a ventilator.
Calling Trump “a f–king idiot” and the voters who elected him — “hysterically f–king stupid people.”

There’s a lot more, but you get the gist.

VIRGINIA: The Democrat majority currently in charge of the formerly great State of Virginia has passed a bill that, with the addition of Democrat Governor Northam’s signature, will make it illegal for law enforcement officers to enforce a whole host of vehicle safety laws.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “I’m a Post Op Transgender woman, who was originally convinced that the only hope for a decent life was to vote Democrat. I guess I started waking up with the happenings of the weeks and months after the 2016 election, when I saw the most ridiculous actions from the left being supported by the media. It was so plain to see what was going on, yet people I knew in the LGBT community bought right into it.

“I knew then, that I couldn’t be a part of that party anymore. But where was I to turn? After all the Republicans hated people like me. RIGHT?? I started talking with people in conservative groups and was met with nothing but kindness, acceptance and support. Meanwhile I was seeing people on the left turning on each other. My mind was made up. I walked away for good.

“Today I took the day off so I could vote on the first day of early voting here in Florida. Today my vote was not based on guilt, shame, or a sense of loyalty to the LGBT community. It was based on my love, loyalty, and commitment to the country I love.”

WASHINGTON: Sammamish – Police in this city just east of Seattle said Friday that numerous mail ballots have been stolen from people’s mailboxes and placed or discarded elsewhere.

YEMEN: The two Americans, Sandra Loli and Mikael Gidada, and the remains of a third, Bilal Fateen, were released in exchange for the return of about 250 of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels from Oman. Loli had been held by the Houthis for about three years and Gidada was held captive for about a year. Fateen died in captivity.

GRAMMY NOTES: Dearest tells me the Tompkins County Republicans who were forced by thuggish Leftists to abandon their little street-side rally had the last laugh.

After said thugs danced off to celebrate their “win over fascism”, the little group of Republicans took their signs back outside. They said they got a lot of honks and thumbs ups from commuters who drove by during rush hour.

Hunter’s Laptop

We now know for certain that the laptop that computer repair guy, John Paul Mac Isaac, turned over to the FBI did belong to Hunter Biden.

We know this because Hunter Biden’s attorney called the computer repair shop a few days ago and asked for Hunter’s computer back. Then he followed up with a letter.

Too bad for the Biden Crime Family that, under Delaware law, the laptop and its contents became the property of the repair business 90 days after it was abandoned there.

And it’s not like the repair guy ever tried to cheat Biden. He tried for four months to contact Hunter Biden about paying his bill and retrieving his property. Biden never answered nor paid for the repair work.

Nor did Mr. Mac Isaac ever attempt to profit from the explosive material on the hard drive. He never approached any media outlet or tabloid. Rather, as soon as he realized the laptop contained material relevant to the security of our nation, he contacted the FBI and cooperated fully.

But, when he realized the FBI was sitting on material which would have contributed to President Trump’s impeachment defense, Mr. Mac Isaac gave a copy of the hard driver to the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who shared it with the New York Post which broke the first piece of the story on October 14th.

Twitter promptly locked the Post out of its own Twitter account and blocked tweeters from sharing a link to the story on the Post’s web site. Twitter got considerable blow back and unblocked the story, but is still locking the Post out of its Twitter account with demands it delete tweets of its own reporting of the story that Twitter claims is no longer being blocked.

The New York Times published a story critical of the Post for having published the story about Hunter’s email. But who are they kidding? The doddering Gray Lady published Trump’s tax returns! At least the Post said exactly how they came into possession of the laptop’s contents, which is more than the Slime did about Trump’s tax returns.

One interesting point about the Fish Wrap of Record’s complaint is that it did not in any way dispute the authenticity of the emails. In fact, no one has … not Hunter Biden, not Joe Biden, not the Biden campaign. They’re just mad the truth is being reported.

Meanwhile, outlets like Fox News have started to confirm their authenticity … which means that Joe Biden – the man who claims to be the only one who can “Save the Soul of the Nation” from Orange Man Bad – really has been selling out his country for decades.

Yesterday, Biden again refused to answer any questions about the scandal https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1317946492003508224 [:04].

This morning, Rudy Giuliani said more emails and information will be coming out. “There’s more money. There’s some pretty … disgusting things this family was involved with. Really disgusting.”

He did not elaborate, but word is that many of the 25,000 photos on the hard drive document Hunter’s depraved, sex-and-drug-soaked lifestyle that would have opened a President Biden up to major blackmailing by whoever had it.

Also this morning, Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller said the president plans to challenge Biden about the revelations at the debate on Thursday.

2020: Catholic Vote ad for Trump [1:07] – According to Catholic Vote, Al Gore was the only presidential candidate to win the Catholic vote, but lose the election. And as those of us who are old enough to recall “hanging chads”, that was a very close election.

2020: Biden – Still lying. It boggles the mind that Delaware voters kept sending him back to the Senate after his first failed performance on the presidential campaign trail.

Clearly Lying Joe hasn’t changed a whit. He just falsely claimed that the boilermakers union endorsed him for the November election. The union hasn’t endorsed any presidential candidate for 2020.

BLEXIT: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1621761648026534 [17:17] to hear some wonderfully thoughtful testimonies from folks who came to a BLEXIT march for Trump.

CALIFORNIA: San Francisco – The super woke PTBs in Nancy’s district have decided that at least 44 of its schools need a name change due to perceived “connections to slavery, genocide, or oppression.”

The list of unacceptable names includes Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Garfield, Monroe, McKinley, Franklin Roosevelt, Paul Revere, Alamo, Francis Scott Key, Balboa, El Dorado, Sanchez, Lowell, Mission, Presidio, Webster, and Jose Ortega.

Even a school named after Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) may be renamed, apparently due to the fact that Feinstein replaced a vandalized Confederate flag that was one of several historic flags on display outside city hall when she was mayor in 1986.

The proposed changes would affect more than a third of the schools in the district, all of which continue to be closed. As one parent noted, “We’re not actually helping disadvantaged children by changing the name of the school they can’t attend.”

DEMOCRATS: Thaddeus G. McCotter explains at American Greatness that the Dem’s Biden/Harris ticket is part of a cynical gaslight campaign.

LAMESTREAM MEDIA: I was amused this week to hear the same tone of angry outrage from both Pelosi and Biden when asked a prickly question by one of the journalists they usually only get fluffy Nerf balls from.

Trump is used to the abuse and knows how to deal with it. They haven’t got a clue.

NEVADA: Henderson – A Nevada man has been sentenced to six months in federal prison to be followed by one year of supervised release for opening mail while he was employed as a contract mail carrier by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). He says he was looking for cash.

NEW YORK: Ithaca – More images of the anti-Trumpers and the damage they did at the rally.

It makes me sad how cute those young people in the lower photo obviously think they are.

PRAGER U: Red States vs. Blue States [5:46] – This is well worth your time.

Twitter has used the bogus excuse that the material the New York Post has published was “hacked.” It wasn’t.

Someone believed to be Hunter Biden dropped off a laptop at a computer repair shop to have its hard drive content recovered. That customer never paid and never returned for the device or its contents. As per the repair agreement, ownership of the laptop transferred to the repair person.

Disturbed by the laptop’s content and fearing for his safety, the new owner turned the hard drive over to the FBI in December 2019. When the FBI failed to follow up on the disturbing contents, the repair guy gave his copy of the hard drive to former federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliani. 

Giuliani, in turn, released the material to the New York Post.

“How does a personality-free bag of farts like Mitch McConnell actually win elections?”

“I’ve never donated to a presidential campaign before, but I just gave $100 to Hillary for America. We can’t fuck around anymore.”

Twitter has justified squashing the Hunter Biden emails with some allegedly high-minded baloney. The Federalist (link below) exposes their hypocrisy by listing eleven different stories of the same ilk that Twitter did not throttle.

One guess what the difference is.

WASHINGTON: Seattle – Bags of stolen mail were were found by the roadsides and in ditches. All of the ballots among the mail were unopened.

The two families merged their germs for the pandemic, because the kids were going nuts and they’ve all become great friends. This is the family that came up this summer and camped in our back yard.

They were being home schooled before the coronavirus, which has been a blessing for Mama Buzz. Blossom’s mom has been a huge support to her adjusting to having the kids schooling from home. They also have been swapping kids for one class per day. Mama Buzz does Arts & Crafts. Blossom’s Mom does Science (I think).

2020: Trump ripped the Biden Crime Family in this speech to senior citizens in Fort Myers, Florida.

2020: Trump vs. Biden town halls – I didn’t watch either one and, after blogging about the local rally, I find I have no appetite for listening to clips.

So far as I can tell, the tweet above summed them up accurately. No surprise. (Stephanopolous moderated Biden’s; Guthrie did Trump’s.)

2020: Joe Biden is a serial liar – Many of the lies he has spewed have been boastful exaggerations about his own past. E.g., claiming he was first in his law school class when in fact he had been at the bottom.

But at least one of his lies demeans the reputation of a good man who isn’t even alive to defend himself. According to Joe Biden, his first wife and infant daughter were killed by a drunk driver.

“A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly — and I never pursued it — drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly and killed my daughter instantly and hospitalized my two sons.”

This is not true. In December of 1972, Biden’s first wife, Neilia, caused the accident when she drove into the path of Curtis Dunn’s tractor-trailer. Dunn overturned his rig trying to avoid the Biden vehicle. Police filed no charges against Dunn and said alcohol had not been involved.

ACB: Inspiring testimony [2:15].

BACK THE BLUE: “Saying somebody in the leg is just wrong and shows an incredible lack of understanding of defensive firearms.” [6:22] – At Thursday’s town hall, Joe Biden said that when confronted with deadly force, police officers should “shoot ’em in the leg.”

The reasons given in the video for not aiming for a leg include that it’s very hard to hit such a small target, especially when it’s moving. Even if you do hit someone in the leg, it rarely stops them. And if you hit the femoral artery or shatter the femur, they’re very likely to die anyway.

If it’s serious enough to shoot someone, then a high center mass shot is the best option.

CATHOLIC: [7:13] – Bishop Athanasius Schneider says, “Today the Church of Rome finds herself in a similar situation of spiritual collapse, due to the spiritual torpor of a majority of the Shepherds of the Church, the excessive absorption of the Pope himself in temporal affairs, and his efforts to bring about the rebirth of a universal aspiration to a this-worldly and naturalistic fraternity.”

The full interview is posted at the link.

CHILD ABUSE: At Thursday’s ABC News town hall, Joe Biden was asked what he would do to protect people like her daughter, an 8-year-old who thinks she’s a boy.

Biden answered, “There should be zero discrimination.”

Psychologist Debra Soh has written, “Waiting until a child has reached cognitive maturity before making these sorts of decisions would make the most sense. But this is an unpopular stance, and scientists and clinicians who support it are vilified, not because science—which should be our guiding beacon—disproves it, but because it has been deemed insensitive and at odds with the current ideology.”

COOKIE SURVEY: A Pennsylvania bakery that makes candidate-specific cookies say their sales have predicted the presidential winner in the past three elections.

“Trump 2020” cookies are three times as popular as “Biden 2020” cookies.

CORNELL: Far above Cayuga’s waters, there’s an awful smell … of putrid wokeness. The overly educated, never-had-real-jobs libtards “teaching” at Cornell University have decided that “English Department” is extremely racist, so they’re renaming it the “Department of Literatures in English.”

I took a graduate course in education while I was attending the Home of the Big Red. The professor was reputedly a leader in the field. I’ve never forgotten the day he told us, “If schools had ever done their jobs properly, they’d all be closed by now.”

I wanted to pass the damn class, so I didn’t say what I was thinking, which was that schools graduate the students they’re done with. But the schools themselves need to stay open because there are always new, younger students who need what they have to offer.

But hey, I didn’t have a Ph.D. in Education like he did … so maybe there was some subtle point I missed about his position. Or not.

HUNTER BIDEN: The New York Post revealed another piece of their Hunter Biden email stash showing that while Joe was Obama’s VP, his son pursued lucrative deals with a Shanghai-based conglomerate called CEFC China Energy Co.

One email sent to Biden on May 13, 2017, with the subject line “Expectations,” included details of “remuneration packages” for six people involved in an unspecified business venture. (Graphic above.)

Another email — sent by Biden as part of an Aug. 2, 2017, chain — involved a deal he struck with then-chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, for half-ownership of a holding company that was expected to provide Biden with more than $10 million a year.

Biden wrote that Ye had sweetened the terms of an earlier, three-year consulting contract with CEFC that was to pay him $10 million annually “for introductions alone.”

At the ABC News town hall on Thursday, moderator George Stephanopoulos did not ask Joe “Pops” Biden a single question about the controversy. But on Friday, a CBS News reporter asked him for a response to the New York Post story.

“I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask,” Biden snapped.

MANSPLAINING: Remember when the Slime Stream Media got all hot and bothered about Mike Pence interrupting Kamala Harris at the VP debate.

Gee, big surprise (not), they have a double standard on the subject when the woman being interrupted in a conservative.

MORE EMAILS: Breitbart is breaking news about Hunter Biden emails obtained from a former business associate, Bevan Cooney, who turned them over to Breitbart reporter Peter Schweizer.

The emails lay out in detail how the Vice President’s son and his colleagues used their access to the Obama-Biden administration to arrange private meetings for potential foreign clients and investors at the highest levels in the White House. Among these meetings was a private, off-the-books meeting between then-VP Biden and a delegation of Chinese investors and Communist Party officials.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’m so thankful for my dear Hubby, who was born 71 years ago today.

Uncivility

Yesterday, about 20 Trump supporters held a little rally on the sidewalk in front of our headquarters on Meadow St. (aka, Rte 13) in Ithaca.

Approximately 60 anti-Trumpers staged a counter-rally that started out on the sidewalk across the street. At some point, they swarmed across the street, getting right up in the faces of the Republicans and blocking traffic during rush hour on the city’s major artery.

Some jerk posted on Facebook that “A planned political rally being held by Tompkins County Republicans in the 300 block of South Meadow Street is blocking the right lanes of Route 13 northbound.”

So typical to leave out the rather important detail that it was NOT the Republicans who were blocking traffic!

The Ithaca PD parked a couple of radio cars across on-coming traffic to protect the protesters, who apparently swarmed them too.

At least one of the Lefties was carrying a sign featuring a hammer smashing a piggy bank and saying, “Defund Police” so, in the cops’ defense, maybe they left because they were scared. Or maybe the far-left, deep blue PTBs running Ithaca told them to leave.

In any event, they were clearly not prepared for the little GOP rally to turn into a nasty mess. They did nothing to protect the Republicans from the snarling mob screaming “Fascists Go Home”, not even when the thugs stole and set fire to Trump signs, flags, and hats.

The anti-Trumpers shouted “You’re not welcome here” and “Go inside” at the Trump supporters, while pushing and shoving them until they retreated inside the Republican storefront. Towards the end of the rally, several protesters tore down the “Vote Republican” banner.

After over two hours, the thugs declared “victory” and marched to the Commons through the streets, blocking traffic and garnering cheers and waves. There, they celebrated and discussed future plans.

“Today was a tremendous victory for the forces of anti-racism,” their spokesman said. “It was a spontaneous and almost joyful display of, not only disgust with racism and fascism, but also a positive affirmation of an alternative politics, celebrating human dignity.”

Dearest was at this thing for a while. He told me after he got home that it got scary enough that his heart started racing. Since he’s scheduled for heart surgery next month, he left early.

I am profoundly grateful that he and all our GOP friends stayed calm and got out of this thing without injury. The photo below is a screen grab I did from video that one of our GOP friends took. It scared the bejeebers out of me.

We’re not holding our breaths for the Ithaca police or District Attorney’s office to give a crap about the well documented fact that far-from-peaceful protesters blocked traffic, menaced peaceful protesters, and destroyed many dollars worth of private property.

2020: Trump jokes, Leftist heads explodes – CLICK https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1315826510020968448 [:20] to hear The Donald joke about how powerful he feels now that he’s conquered COVID-19. If you can be bothered, you can click to read the Ludicrous Left’s reactions. Or you could watch paint dry, which would leave you far more fulfilled as a human being and spare you losing any IQ points.

2020: Creepy Uncle Joe – Joe Biden’s law school roommate says Biden admitted to him that he is sexually attracted to children. The roomie says Biden “used to say it was his ‘civic responsibility’ and that if he didn’t ‘choke the chicken’ or ‘clean the hosepipe’ before spending time around children he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off them.”

ACB: “How low can you go?” [1:28] – Criticizing white Americans for adopting kids out of poverty in third world nations is so offensive. Would these buttheads prefer those kids stayed in their dirt poor orphanages where they are unlikely to get anything good … nutrition, education, health care, opportunities?

When asked by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-MN, if Roe v. Wade was a “super-precedent” of the Court, Barrett indicated that it was not. She said super-precedents are cases like Brown v. Board of Education, which ended segregation in public schools, that virtually no one wants to repeal. “And I’m answering a lot of questions about Roe, which I think indicates that Roe doesn’t fall in that category,” Barrett said.

CNN’s John King said Judge Amy Coney Barrett “would be getting 70 votes or more in the United States Senate” if she had been nominated by “another Republican president in another age.”

BORDER: Federal customs officers working at a border crossing between California and the Mexican city of Tijuana seized 3,000 pounds of meth from a commercial truck. This bust was the second-largest bust of its kind in history.

CATHOLIC: [3:55] – In a devastating appraisal of Pope Francis’ latest encyclical Fratelli Tutti (All Brothers), Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò called out its failure to take abortion seriously.

“This deafening silence concerning the most odious crime in the eyes of God – because it is committed upon an innocent and defenseless child depriving it of life – betrays the twisted vision of this ideological manifesto that is in the service of the New World Order.”

Archbishop Viganò says that the encyclical’s apparent hope to bring hope to all men of the earth is misguided since, “in order to truly desire the good of modern man it is necessary to wake him out of his hypnotic spell of do-goodery, ecologism, pacifism, ecumenism, and globalism. In order to want the good of sinful and rebellious man, it is necessary to make him understand that by distancing himself from his Creator and Lord he will end up being a slave of Satan and of himself.”

Archbishop Viganò spells out “the only hope to foster peace and harmony among men” is “by conforming to the will of God.”

CCP: A series of leaked documents shows that patients in China with symptoms similar to COVID-19 were hospitalized months before the regime’s official timeline, throwing into question when exactly the CCP virus began spreading in Wuhan, China’s epidemic ground zero.

At least one patient started experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms in September 2019. Dozens more were hospitalized over the following month. And Wuhan hospitals reported several deaths in October 2019 due to severe pneumonia, lung infections, and other symptoms similar to COVID-19 patients.

ECONOMY: [21:12] – When Obama left office, the Congressional Budget Office projected fewer than 2 million jobs would be created during the next three years. Because of tax cuts and removal of burdensome government regulations, the Trump economy created SEVEN million jobs.

FACEBOOK: When Sandra Merritt and David Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of aborted baby body parts, Kamala Harris was California’s Attorney General. Rather than going after Planned Parenthood, Harris went after Merritt and Daleiden for making the undercover videos in the first place.

But the journalists had carefully researched what was and was not allowed in California when it came to recording other people without their knowledge or consent. The undercover videos that exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal activities did not violate California video recording law. But Harris didn’t care about that any more than she cared that Planned Parenthood was routinely lying to patients, altering abortion procedures, and violating the law to harvest and sell fetal tissues and organs at great profit.

LifeSite News exposed Harris’ prosecutorial misconduct in August. Because Harris is running for VP, the article has been getting a lot of hits. So Facebook ginned up a false fact check to justify squashing it. LifeNews has posted a “part 2” to the story (third link below) that repeats the original story and refutes Facebook’s fake fact check.

The federal government provided Facebook (and other social media sites, like Twitter) protection from lawsuits by designating them “platforms”, not “publishers.” Their politically-biased blocking of right-wing material violates by election law and this “platform” designation.

NEW MOM: Call her Esquire – This lady’s water broke as she finished the first of four, 90-minute sections in her online bar exam.

Hill finished the third and fourth parts of the exam while at the hospital, nursing her baby in between.

ORTHODOX JEWISH VOTE: A new national poll commissioned by @Ami_Magazine, shows Trump 83% vs. Biden 13% vs. Undecided 4%.

This marks a 29% swing in favor of Trump since 2016.

The poll was conducted with 1,000 Orthodox Jews from 22 states and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

PROJECT VERITAS: A Democratic party activist in Colorado has been sayinghe will lie, cheat, and steal to win. He called this all “morally acceptable.” The video is embedded at the link.

RUDY’S COMMON SENSE: [16:01] – Giuliani talks about how the Biden “crime family” raked in millions from Iraq, Ukraine, Russia, and China, while Joe was Obama’s Vice President.

Among other things, he presents a text message, allegedly from Hunter Biden to his daughter, Naomi, in which he says that his father (“Pop”) took half of his “salary.”

TWITTER: Twitter locked the Trump Campaign’s account for tweeting the New York Post article about Joe and Hunter Biden’s collusion with Burisma.

Then the Biden campaign said the collusion story must not be true, because Twitter had blocked it.

Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Constitution Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote the letter above to Twitter’s CEO, Jack Dorsey, demanding answers for this flagrant and egregious violation of the public’s trust.
