I'm a 60 something wife, mom and grandmom who is homebound/disabled by severe hypersensitivity to chemicals. I fill my days with learning, loving and art. My favorite values are truth, generosity and gratitude.
To all the loving tolerant Democrats who are blinded by their hatred,
I have noticed a great many people spreading the ridiculous message that each side is guilty. This is WRONG.
We have not attacked you in stores and restaurants and on the streets.
We have not assaulted your minors or thrown eggs at your children.
We have not torn down statues or vandalized property that is not ours.
We have not blocked traffic or held people hostage in their cars or in their homes.
We have not pulled people out of their vehicles and beaten them senseless on live television.
We have not taken over city blocks, terrorized residents and destroyed businesses.
We have not burned down city blocks or attacked elected officials.
We have not tried to take away your right to protect yourself.
We have not arrested and even murdered people who were simply defending themselves and their property.
We have not condemned all cops or demanded they all lose their jobs.
We have not hunted down innocent cops doing their jobs and shot them in cold blood and then chanted we hoped they died.
While your media has lied to us, we have cried out for truth.
You have responded by screaming at us that your demands must be met.
You have attacked us on-line and publicized our personal information.
You have demanded we lose our jobs for disagreeing with you.
You and those who run your “tolerant” sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have demonetized us, blocked our posts from search engines, and even canceled our accounts.
Throughout this, you have rejoiced in our suffering.
You have been happy to see our churches and businesses closed.
You have been happy to see criminals released to prey on the innocent.
You have been happy to allow riots and looting continue for months.
You have been happy to keep our schools locked despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic is OVER.
And now you tell us that if we don’t vote for your candidates, the madness will not just continue, but even get worse!
BOOTS: [1:07] – In 2018, First Lady Melania Trump wore Timberland boots to visit troops in Iraq. The Fashion Police mocked her “out of touch” footwear.
In 2020, VP wannabe Kamala Harris wore Timberland boots while surveying the devastation left behind by the California wildfires. The Fashion Police praised her for choosing “functional shoes for a busy and important day.”
CANCEL CULTURE: Fail – Last spring, UCLA Professor Gordon Klein was put on mandatory leave for the “tone of an email” he sent to a student, refusing to bend the rules for Black students following the death of George Floyd.
Dean Antonio Bernardo characterized Klein as having “a disregard for our core principles” and called Klein’s email an “abuse of power.” A petition signed by more than 20,000 people demanded he be fired and he had to have a police detail posted outside his home, due to threats.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) went to bat for him and won. “We’re happy to confirm that Gordon Klein is teaching once again, and hope that in the future UCLA will consider its constitutional obligations before throwing educators out of the classroom.” – Katlyn Patton for FIRE
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and sustaining the individual rights of students and faculty members at America’s colleges and universities. These rights include freedom of speech, freedom of association, due process, legal equality, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience — the essential qualities of liberty.
CATHOLIC: My divided church [2:43] – Joe Biden is a baptized Catholic who makes a point of talking about how important his faith is to him.
A Catholic advocacy group has released a 93-page report detailing how his voting record over decades in politics shows support for policy positions contrary to the Catholic faith.
Sadly, some far left members of the Catholic clergy are telling the faithful that it’s okay to vote for Biden.
CLASSICAL MUSIC: Vox’s “Switched on Pop” podcast explains, in detail, how Beethoven’s 5th Symphony is an appalling symbol of elitist, classist exclusionism.
Classical music lovers … google #WalkAway. You’ll be glad you did.
CROW TRIBE: “The Crow Tribe has gone and endorsed Donald Trump for president, a slap in the face to full-blooded Native American Elizabeth Warren, who is a staunch Biden supporter and was certainly hoping her native brothers and sisters would join her and support him as well. You hate to see it. How could they do her like that? Their own flesh and blood?” – Doc Holliday at Not The Bee
FREE SPEECH: College students are learning they can bad mouth President Trump all they want, but BLM is off limits.
FIRE has seen a four-fold increase in requests for help from students who are being being disciplined for exercising free speech on college campuses.
The Young America’s Foundation’s (YAF) Campus Bias Tip Line has received double the number of complaints compared to previous summers.
And university staffers are not immune. A member of the Residential Life team at Berry College in George has been put on administrative leave for posting on his social media that he doesn’t think racism is systemic in the United States.
GINSBURG: RIP – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (87), the second-ever woman appointed to the high court, died Friday night at her home in Washington, D.C., due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer.
May God have mercy on her soul and bless President Trump and the Senate with the wisdom to replace her with His choice.
HISTORY: American – President Trump said he will sign an executive order to establish a 1776 Commission to renew pro-American public education. His move is in response to the 1619 Project pushed by the New York Times which “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of [the United States’] national narrative.”
“Critical race theory, the 1619 Project, and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda — an ideological poison that, if not removed, will dissolve the civic bonds that tie us together,” Trump said. “The only path to national unity is through our shared identity as Americans. That is why it is so urgent that we finally restore patriotic education to our schools.”
HISTORY: Holocaust [1:22] – According to a new poll, 60% of millennials and Gen Z in New York do not know that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust and nearly 20% believe Jews caused the Holocaust.
The results come amid a rise in anti-Semitic incidents around the U.S. in recent years. The Anti-Defamation League said in May that it had recorded an all-time high of anti-Semitic incidents in 2019 since it tracking of such events began in 1979.
MINNESOTA: Minneapolis – In June, Democrat city councilors unanimously voted to defund and disband the Minneapolis Police Department.
Now they’re bitching that their constituents feel “terrorized” by the steep increase in street racing, carjacking, robberies, assaults, shootings, and murders and that calls to police “go unanswered.”
Meanwhile, twice the usual number of cops have left the Minneapolis force, maybe because they don’t appreciate being unappreciated. The remaining MPD officers say they’re overworked and understaffed.
PENNSYLVANIA: Lancaster – Rioters used yet another justified police shooting as an excuse to assault police officers with glass bottles, rocks, bricks, gallon jugs filled with liquid and plastic road barricades.
A dozen of them were arrested; several had their bail set at $1 million each.
PENNSYLVANIA: Pittsburgh – Three of the Pittsburgh Black Lives Matter protesters who harassed diners at an outdoor restaurant are facing charges of disorderly conduct, conspiracy, criminal mischief, theft, and simple trespass.
Cops identified them in viral videos. One of those arrested is the “non-binary” individual who stole a patron’s beer and smugly drank it down.
MARYLAND: Baltimore – Two of the suspects in a gang slaying of a 16-year-old girl have been released, because Democrats decided that pandering to their party’s pro-illegal immigration policy was more important than upholding federal immigration laws or pursuing justice for the victim.
NEW YORK: Buffalo – The public school system in Buffalo, N.Y. has integrated Black Lives Matter propaganda into its curriculum for elementary school children.
The curriculum has students learning that “All Lives Matter” is a stupid slogan and that the BLM movement is “necessary”, but the nuclear family is an outdated concept.
WALK AWAY: This technically isn’t a #WalkAway story, but it’s close enough to count for today’s excerpt – “In 2016, I never considered voting for Donald Trump. The Johnny-come-lately Republican and his nasty schoolyard jibes seemed to me the worst degradation of American politics. But in 2020, I may be forced to vote for the man. …
“I fear that former vice president Joe Biden would be a figurehead president, incapable of focus or leadership, who would run a teleprompter presidency with the words drafted by his party’s hard-left ideologues. I fear that a Congress with Democrats controlling both houses — almost certainly ensured by a Biden victory in November — would begin an assault on the institutions of government that preserve the nation’s small ‘d’ democracy.
“That could include the abolition of the filibuster, creating an executive-legislative monolith of unlimited political power; an increase in the number of Supreme Court seats to ensure a liberal supermajority; passage of devastating economic measures such as the Green New Deal; nationalized health care; the dismantling of U.S. borders and the introduction of socialist-inspired measures that will wreck an economy still recovering from the pandemic shutdown.” – Danielle Pletka
From “Not the Bee” – “Perhaps the best visual between these two campaigns is the following video, in which a Biden supporter showed up to a Trump boat parade with an itty bitty boat. Even better, however, is that his little boat is starting to sink as the Trump flotilla passes him. The Biden supporter frantically bails out his tiny vessel before waving a white flag to signal his need for help. Even if this whole thing was staged, it’s still the perfect visual for the enthusiasm between these two campaigns.”
CLICK [1:22] … this is really funny. I have no idea if it was staged or not.
BIDEN: The Logan Act bars private citizens from engaging in U.S. foreign policy. During the Obama-Trump transition period and at Joe Biden’s suggestion, the FBI accused National Security Advisor Michael Flynn of violating the Logan Act. As we know, his case is still stuck in a partisan judge’s court.
The latest revelation in the sick tale of Democrat skulduggery stems from a newly leaked 2016 phone call between Biden and then- President of the Ukraine Poroshenko.
During the call, occurred at the very same time Joe was accusing Trump’s NSA of violating the Logan Act, Joe Biden himself violated the Logan Act by slandering the incoming administration and offering to continue to act as Ukraine’s go-to guy with the U.S.
“The truth of the matter is that the incoming administration doesn’t know a great deal about [Ukraine]. I don’t plan on going away. As a private citizen, I plan on staying deeply engaged in the endeavor that you have begun and we have begun.”
BLM: Partnering with ChiComs to destroy America – BLM co-founder Alicia Garza, a trained Marxist, is committed to destroying the American dream and replacing it with a Communist dictatorship. Toward that end, BLM partners with other Marxist organizations, like the Chinese Progressive Association.
CDC: Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is harboring an anti-Trump cabal of scientists responsible for the demonizing of hydroxychloroquine in the name of promoting Democrats at the expense of public health.
There have been nearly a hundred studies on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, most of them peer-reviewed, which indicate that the drug has a positive impact on COVID-19 mortality, particularly when administered early. Yet the CDC still makes specious claims about how allegedly dangerous the drug is.
“There are scientists who work for this government who do not want America to get well, not until after Joe Biden is president.” – Michael Caputo
COVID-19: Proof has emerged that Democrats are hurting people purely for political gain – CLICK [5:15] to hear Tucker out that Nashville’s Democrat Mayor Cooper HIDING the fact that bars and restaurants could reopen.
A woman from the health department actually emailed Cooper’s office asking for clarification. “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?” A senior adviser to the mayor responded, “Correct, not for public consumption.”
DENTAL MALPRACTICE: [1:13] – In addition to the hover board thing, former Anchorage dentist Seth Lookhart has been sentenced to 12 years for Medicaid fraud and dental malpractice. Among other things, he nearly killed several patients by sedating them for longer periods of time than required.
HIGHER EDUCATION: These are the people teaching our kids – For Constitution Day, a professor at Vassar tweeted out a video of herself shredding the Constitution, because “overall I see it as a really oppressive document.”
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: What happened to Fox News? – George Soros has spent millions of dollars influencing American elections. He bears a lot of responsibility for the presence of anti-American, pro-Marxist District Attorneys with pro-criminal tendencies.
But don’t try to talk about him on Fox News’ “Outnumbered.” On Wednesday, Newt Gingrich said, “The number one problem in almost all these cities is George-Soros-elected, left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up. Just yesterday, they put somebody back on the street who was wanted for two different murders in New York City. Uh — you cannot solve this problem both Harris and Biden have talked very proudly about what they call progressive district attorneys. Progressive district attorneys are anti-police, pro-criminal, and overwhelmingly elected with George Soros’ money. And, they are a major cause of the violence we are seeing because they keep putting the violent criminals back on the street.”
The program’s co-host, Melissa Francis, responded, “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this.”
“He [Soros] paid for it,” Gingrich responded. “Why can’t we discuss the fact that millions of dollars he spent elected these people.”
“No, he didn’t,” Panelist Marie Harf interjected, cutting the former speaker off. “I agree with Melissa, George Soros doesn’t need to be a part of this conversation.”
“So, it’s verboten?” Gingrich said as an awkward silence took over the broadcast.
GET OUT OF JAIL FREE: In June, Kamala Harris urged her followers to contribute to the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF). So much money flooded into the MFF’s coffers that it has been able to bail out some seriously bad guys whose bail was set high to keep them off the streets.
MFF provided bail for a registered sex offender who has been accused of raping an 8-year-old girl and for a twice-convicted rapist who has been accused of kidnapping and sexual assault.
MFF provided bail for another guy who had beat someone up in on a bus. While out on bail, the guy beat someone else so badly, the victim suffered a traumatic brain injury. MFF said the second assault was a failure of the criminal justice system. Riiiight.
MFF provided bail for a guy who was charged with aggravated robbery. While out on bail, he assaulted and robbed a nother man, knocking him to the ground and repeatedly kicking and punching him. Then he stomped on the victim’s head and robbed him.
MFF provided bail for a man who has been accused of burglarizing and assaulting his 71-year-old mother in violation of an active order of protection. The victim says that when she confronted her son about why he was at her home, he grabbed her, threw her down, punching and kicking her in the ribs, back, and right eye. Then he duct taped ankles and wrists together and stomped on her. Then he made himself some food and took a nap on the couch. He has violated his bail terms and is in the wind.
Harris is supposed to be a lawyer. You’d think she’d understand that giving bail money to criminals defeats the whole purpose of bail, which is to make it too costly for a criminal to jump bail. When the MFF posts bail, the criminals not only have zero incentive to show up to court, but have received the clear message that it’s A-OK for them to re-offend, cuz some libtard is sure to let them back out on the street.
MAIL-IN VOTING: Sussex County, NJ, just stumbled across a box containing 1,666 primary votes that were never counted. That amounts to 5.5% of the total ballots cast in the July primary.
PEACEFUL PROTEST: Over the week-end, authorities believe this woman is responsible for the “gifts” of dog poop that Hampden, Maine, Trump supporters found in their mail boxes.
RIOTS: It’s obvious that this is a coordinated, interstate operation. In city after city, the tactics, banners, clothing, weaponry, etc. have been virtually identical. Vans with supplies traveling cross-country have been intercepted. Out-of-state perpetrators have been arrested. Somebody is buying, transporting, and distributing guns, lasers, explosives, military helmets, protective gloves, body armor, and other deadly weaponry.
SPYGATE: FISA abuse – A newly declassified document proves that anti-Trumpers in the U.S. government did not have probably cause to obtain any of the four FISA warrants they filed to get permission to spy on Carter Page and, via the two hop rule, on Candidate Trump and then on President Trump. So they lied.
STANDING DOWN: In Aurora, Colorado, police were called repeatedly about a man who had exposed himself to children, smashed up a lot of property and threatened multiple people with injury.
Things got so bad for the residents of the apartment complex where this man was living that the Fire Department had to come and rescue two people through a window on the second floor using a ladder.
But because the thug was a POC, the police were told repeatedly to leave him alone, lest a confrontation turn violent. One can see their reasoning. Better a few locals have their lives ruined than some thug get shot by a cop and the whole town burn. But if good men do nothing, the bad men will win without lifting a finger.
GRAMMY NOTES: Bootz is doing a letter a week. After he made the play dough shapes, he used markers to turn the A into an angel and the a into an allosaur. They are also doing a treasure hunt each week, featuring items around the house that start with that letter.
IT’S NOT NORMAL: [12:45] – Fr. Robert Altier of the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis discusses the current crisis in our nation and how forces of evil are trying to impose a new normal that is anything but normal.
2020: CLICK [:14] to hear the latest sad blitherings of a man who should be living a quiet life in retirement. In another clip, he mentioned how many troops died in “Iran and Afghanistan” today. In a third, he said that the VA must “remote out veterans over all well-being.”
“This is much more serious that making fun of the fact that the Democrat nominee is clearly suffering from dementia and an inability to process basic thoughts. Elections are not a joke. Policies are not a joke. If Biden can’t be off prompter long enough to articulate something as simple as what he was trying to say here, how is he going to manage a presidency? The simple answer is that he’s not. Hence Kamala Harris basically admitting it’s her administration recently.
“Everyone knows what’s really happening here and it’s one of the most dishonest bait and switches to ever happen in politics. In fact, I’m struggling to think of another comparable situation. Never before have we had a nominee lacking the ability to even do basic campaigning, much less perform the job he’s running for. Democrats think they can just pull the wool over the eyes of voters long enough to spring President Kamala on them down the road, but that’s not how any of this is supposed to work. The person you run is expected to be able to fulfill his term. Biden clearly is not going to do that.
“This is elder abuse at this point. Biden’s wife should seriously think about what she’s putting her husband through. I mean that seriously.” – Bonchie at Red State
BLM: BLM co-founder Patrice Cullors explains something we’ve seen again and again on the harassment videos – i.e., BLM bullies shouting “say their names” over and over at their targets.
This has deep spiritual significance to the demon worshipers in Black Lives Matter. According to Cullors. “When we say the names, right, so we speak their names, we say her name, say their names, we do that all the time that, you kind of invoke that spirit, and then those spirits actually become present with you.”
If you ever get targeted, speak the name of Jesus! (And if you don’t already know how, learn to bind spirits.)
BY THEIR FRUITS: “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matthew 7:20) – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22, 23)
“Which of these fruits of God’s spirit do you see manifested in the necromancy, ancestor worship, summoning spirits of the “dead,” violence, rioting, looting, murder, the avowed Marxist goal of destroying this country and its government, and the unyielding, unrepentant hatred by BLM (and their Antifa partners-in-crime) toward anyone who doesn’t buy into their evil philosophies?
“I support freedom of conscience and equal justice under the law for everyone, but I reject BLM-the-organization on the basis of its true, OPENLY STATED goals, not the phony ones they prefer to present to a gullible public.” – Frankly the Nut

CATHOLIC VOTER GUIDE: The printable, unbiased pdf document (link below) presents every stance as a direct quote from both parties’ official platforms, not a summary by someone favorable to either side.
Because it is non-partisan, it can be freely posted and distributed at churches and 501-(c)-3 organizations without threat to their tax status.
CATHOLIC “APOLOGETICS”: “Apologetics is a theological endeavor in which the truth of the Christian faith, along with its doctrines, is established and defended. Christian Apologetics uses the Bible, evidence, and logic.”
But there is a new form … which is when Catholic church leaders apologize for a member of the clergy upsetting Democrats by telling the truth.
Father Paul Graney, an associate pastor at the Church of the Divine Child in Dearborn, MI, provides one example. He gave a homily in which he warned that the agendas of Black Lives Matter and Antifa were aimed at tearing down America. The things he said are objectively and demonstratively TRUE.
But his boss, Father Bob McCabe, the pastor at Divine Child, publicly disavowed him, saying he didn’t agree with what Father Graney had said and he was “so sorry that a homily given by Father Paul Graney at the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Saturday has brought forth division, anger, confusion, and chaos.”
COVID-19: It looks to me like we’re done with it. Democrats will not figure this out until November 4th, when they will drop the whole subject like a hot potato and move on to the next Orange Man Bad scam.
CLICK [3:38] to hear Jake Tapper get his panties in a bunch because Peter Navarro refuses to give him the sound bite he wants.
Re: Tapper’s claim that we have a much higher percentage of coronavirus deaths –
The CDC and other organizations have admitted they artificially inflated U.S. death counts.
Democrats demonized the cheap and effective drug, hydroxychloroquine, which appears to have prevented COVID-19 from devastating areas of the world where HCQ is used routinely for malaria.
Democrats forced nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients into their most vulnerable populations where it killed thousands.
The Washington Examiner article gives Trump’s response to the question Tapper harped on.
DEMOCRATS: This is insulting. “The virus will go away if Joe wins.” How dumb do they think we are?! … Oh wait. They’re talking to their base. Never mind.
EVIL: “This is happening on Trump’s watch” … but only in Democrat-run communities and with the support and encouragement of Biden’s supporters.
FAKE NEWS: Another Slime Stream Media FAILURE.
MIDDLE EAST: CLICK [:47] to hear Kayleigh McEnany call out the biased media for ignoring, downplaying, or even criticizing the Middle East peace accord brokered by President Donald J. Trump.
Washington Examiner editorial – “Though the media are taking great pains to ignore it, the agreement by Israel and Bahrain to establish full diplomatic relations, coming on the heels of a similar agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, is welcome news.
“It reflects a growing recognition by the Sunni Arab monarchies and Israel that their interests are best served by a partnership, and the Trump administration deserves credit for helping it through. Were President Barack Obama or a President Hillary Clinton presently in the Oval Office, the columnist calls for Nobel Peace Prizes would be deafening.
“It would be a mistake to underplay the significance of and complexity in getting to this point.”
MILITARY: The Obama administration (with some help from Bill Clinton’s presidency) seeded the Pentagon with leftist generals whose allegiance was to the Deep State.
The article at Red State details the situation as it stands today. I’ve still got kids in uniform, so in the interests of my mental health, I’m going to stick my head in the sand on this one.
NEW YORK: [9:20] – What do you do when your policies drive your wealthiest residents to move elsewhere? If you’re Bill DeBlasio, you double down on all the policies that destroyed your city in the first place.
OHIO: Little Miami – Two high school football players carried “thin blue line” and “thin red line” flags onto the field at a 9/11 game.
They had asked and been denied permission to carry the flags to honor 9/11 first responders, but decided to do it anyway. They were suspended from the team for allegedly making an inappropriate political statement.
The story went viral and the internet broohaha brought about a quick reversal. The players were reinstated
It’s not only sad, but also very telling about today’s politics that honoring American heroes with American flags is seen as a partisan political statement worthy of punishment.
PLOT TO OUST TRUMP: [4:30] – Darren Beattie: “What’s unfolding before our eyes is a very specific type of coup called the ‘Color Revolution.'” He says Norm Eisen is the architect behind the Left’s efforts to overthrow Trump.
SEDITION: “Every day in every town, We burn our cities to the ground” – “Mostly peaceful” [:31] – Attorney General William Barr set liberal heads on “explode” when he told the nation’s federal prosecutors to be aggressive when charging violent demonstrators with crimes, including sedition.
Earlier this month, he noted that there is no question that Antifa is a seditious movement. “They have websites. They are organized…Anyone who has spent a moment at these things and heard their chants and what they’re calling for can see right away that they are, they say they are, revolutionaries, that this is a revolution.”
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tweeted, “The attorney general has gone off the deep end. This is nuts.”
The “Biden/Harris War Room” tweeted, “Racism is so deeply entrenched in society that when you protest it, those that benefit from it consider it sedition. While one candidate doesn’t recognize the existence of systemic racism and tries to maintain it, Joe Biden will fight to eliminate it.”
Matthew Miller, who was director of the Washington Post‘s Justice Department’s public affairs office from 2009 to 2011, tweeted, “Sedition is the bad penny that shows up at some of the worst moments in our history. Barr is going to play every authoritarian card he can to help Trump hang on to power.”
Nick Arama at Red State remarked about the tweeters: “I don’t think liberals get what they look like when they appear to defend things like this and the related violence as mere ‘protesting‘.”
THIN BLUE LINE: One of these officers is dead [15:56] – The video inspired Amy Swearer, a senior legal policy analyst for Heritage, to compose a Twitter thread in which she noted she was “tired of the one-sided conversations on policing.”
The thread is reproduced at the Red State link. The numerous tweets include links, so I’ll ask you to go there to read it all.
VACCINE: Matthew Hanley writes that a vaccine is not necessary before life can return to normal. – “The overall survival rate for those exposed to the coronavirus is likely somewhere north of 99.6 percent. COVID-19 mortality has largely run its course in a great many places (as viruses tend to do). And no vaccine has ever been successfully developed for any virus in the corona family.”
I’m guessing Democrats will suddenly lose all interest in the alleged lethality of COVID-19 on November 4 and the kids will all go back to school without the Slime Stream Media paying more than a minute or two notice.
GRAMMY NOTES: I voted twice for my hubby in the 2020 village election … but they were both legal. I vote by absentee ballot and, being excited to vote for my Dearest, I filled out the village ballot as soon as it came and mailed it back. Then the shut-down hit and the election was postponed until this week. So I got to vote again. He seems less bothered about having lost the election than he is about the number of his signs that got disappeared by local loser Democrats.

BRAINWASHING: On the first day of school, an 11th-grade teacher at Westlake High School in Westchester County in New York gave his students a hand-out entitled “European Colonization of America” that featured the cartoon above. The school administration says they are investigating.
The controversy comes just weeks after the Wylie Independent School District in Texas (where school starts earlier) presented the same cartoon to eighth graders. During the uproar, Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott called for the teacher who assigned the lesson. The cartoon was removed and the district said they’d try to do better.
Somehow teachers in New York and Texas ended up with the exact same inflammatory cartoon? Hmmmm …
CATHOLIC LEFT: Complicit clergy busily earn their eternal millstones – “Were the Republicans to run a Catholic for president who supported, say, segregation, the bishops wouldn’t hesitate to condemn that figure and warn their congregations not to vote for him. But the bishops apply no such condemnation or warning to Joe Biden, who is a dissenter in favor of abortion rights and gay marriage. Even Biden’s officiating at gay marriages, an egregiously disobedient act for a Catholic, is met with silence from most bishops.” – George Neumayr
CATHOLIC RIGHT: The faithful have a powerful ally in Mary [5:00] – A while ago, I posted Father Altman’s powerful homily “You cannot be Catholic & a Democrat. Period.” His bishop has since threatened to impose “canonical penalties” for his video, even as public support for the priest has surged among rank-and-file Catholics around the country. To view Father Altman’s homilies, go to YouTube and put “Fr. Altman Homilies” in the search box.
CHINA: The Trump administration has moved block the import of products made with forced labor in detention camps in the Chinese province of Xinjiang.
More than 1 million Uygurs are currently held in concentration camps in the province, and numerous reports by human rights groups and governments have identified instances for forced labor, torture, and other abuses.
COVID-19: It should not be necessary to use false data to prove something that is actually true. So why have so many government agencies inflated the number of coronavirus deaths?
FAKE NEWS: The headline suggests that teaching children in person poses a deadly threat to teachers. The problem is that the teachers featured in the article did not get sick while teaching.
Four of them got sick before school opened. Another caught the virus at church. And one was working in a district that has not yet gone back to in-person learning.
HARRIS: With Biden failing, it’s the logical ploy. Methinks if they get elected, Biden will be shuffled off to a home, Kamala will swear in as POTUS, then appoint herself a compatible VPOTUS.
OSCARS: “Art by quota. There’s no future in it.” [4:23] – “We used to mock the commies for doing stuff like this.” – Mark Steyn
PENNSYLVANIA: Lancaster – After an officer-involved shooting death, the predictable violent rioting broke out in Lancaster. Fires were started, bricks were thrown at a local police station, and fireworks were randomly set off.
Eight rioters were arrested, their bail set at one million dollars each. When word got out that Lancaster was not going to be a “catch and release” city like Portland, the protesters left town.
WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “I was a lifelong Democrat because I care about people and our society. Now, I’m NOT a Democrat because I care about people and our society. As a Democrat I trusted the media, my teachers and Hollywood elitists that taught me that the Left had the moral high ground. I believed it all but they lost me when they demanded that I ostracize everyone that didn’t think like me. They lost me when they incorrectly changed the definitions of such words as ‘racist’ and ‘homophobe.’ They lost me with their hypocrisy. And eventually, they lost me with their policy.”
WILDFIRES: Arson is not caused by climate change – The National Weather Service says that 36,383 of the 41,599 wildfires that have ripped through the U.S. in 2020 were started by humans. That’s 87%. Some were due to carelessness; many were set on purpose. They’ve burned a total of 2,510,743 acres so far.
WILDFIRES: Politicization [15:17] – Tucker talks about the vile politicization of the incredible devastation.
On Monday, Biden said, “Donald Trump’s climate denial may not have caused these fires and record floods and record hurricanes, but if he gets a second term, these hellish events will continue to become more common, more devastating and more deadly.”
BIDEN: Was Slow Joe trying to woo voters by calling them racists? – CLICK [:27] to hear Joe Biden slander Democrats who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, then voted for Trump in 2016.
Ed Morrissey notes that Tapper actually pushed Biden hard on NAFTA and USMCA. Biden had no answer.
TAPPER: I’m a blue-collar guy sitting in Macomb County, Michigan, if I were that person.
BIDEN: Yes.
TAPPER: And I’m sitting here listening to your pitch, and I’m thinking, I like what he has to say, but he’s part of the establishment that’s been selling my jobs down the river. He supported NAFTA. He supported most favored nation status for China. And Trump did renegotiate NAFTA, and Obama and Biden didn’t.
BLACKOUT: [3:10] – Multi-millionaire NBA superstar turned law enforcement expert LeBron James said on ESPN, “We are scared as Black people in America. … Black men, Black women, Black kids. We are terrified.”
Candace Owens slammed him for pandering on Mark Levin where she was promoting her new book, “Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape From the Liberal Plantation.”
CALIFORNIA: Los Angeles – Authorities in Los Angeles are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man who walked up to a police car and opened fire on two L.A. sheriff deputies without warning or provocation.
CARDI B: I had no idea what “WAP” was, so I googled, learned it was a Cardi B song, read (some of) the lyrics at the link below. I had to stop after a few stanzas and I am NOT going to copy any of them here. This is a family-friendly site!
FOREST MANAGEMENT: There’s a big, BIG difference between environmentalism and conservationism. The first is a left-wing, human-hating, activist position that rails against whatever issue is in their faces. The second seeks to find common sense solutions to balance the wants and needs of ALL who live on this planet.
The Trump administration has been trying to prevent the deadly wildfires that plague the West every year by putting in place forest management practices. Environmental activists keep blocking these efforts. They don’t care that a managed, healthy forest is one that doesn’t turn into an inferno that kills everything in its path.
Predictably, Democrats are blaming climate change for the current rash of horrific wild fires.
FUNDRAISING: In recent months, the Biden campaign has been bringing in more money than Trump’s, but his totals have been inflated by megadonors. Trump has more small donations coming in and (ideally) each donor gets only one vote.
GEORGIA: Atlanta – Students at Georgia Tech pay mandatory student activity fees which the Student Government Association uses to fund club events on campus. But when the student pro-life club sought funding to bring Alveda King to campus to give a talk, the student government said no.
According to them, Alveda King wasn’t welcome, because she has been involved in religious ministries, therefore her life was “inherently religious,” and thus could not be separated from the civil rights, anti-abortion message her talk would present.
By that standard, Alveda’s uncle, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., would not have been welcome either.
Students for Life sued the university and won. George Tech has to revise its policies to treat all student organizations fairly, regardless of viewpoint, and to pay $50,000 to Students for Life for damages and attorneys’ fees.
IMMIGRATION: Judges appointed by President Donald Trump’s deputies are filling up the immigration courts, and they have reversed the anti-deportation trend caused by President Barack Obama’s judges.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: CLICK [1:40] to hear Terrence K. Williams express his outrage that Facebook allowed a death threat to be posted, but is threatening to shut down his page, because they don’t like his political commentary.
CLICK [6:00] to hear Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino talk about the difference between the Left’s attempts to shut down conservative social media.
MICHIGAN: Detroit – BLM has been an epic flop in Detroit, thanks largely to Mayor Mike Muggan (a Democrat!) and Police Chief James Craig who have practiced zero-tolerance for thugs and looters posing as demonstrators.
“I am not going to let any group set up a Seattle zone of lawlessness here in the city of Detroit,” Craig said. “That is non-negotiable.“
Craig knows firsthand that the worst thing you can do when faced with radical lawlessness is agree to negotiate. He grew up in Detroit, where he witnessed the 1967 riots, then he was an LAPD officer for the 1992 Rodney King riots. He also knows that BLM’s agenda doesn’t have widespread support from Detroiters.
“The vast majority of the people who attend these protests are from outside the city.”
PENNSYLVANIA: Pittsburgh – A federal judge has struck down Gov. Tom Wolf’s pandemic restrictions that required people to stay at home, placed size limits on gatherings and ordered “non-life-sustaining” businesses to shut down, calling them unconstitutional.
The plaintiffs included hair salons, drive-in movie theaters, a farmer’s market vendor, a horse trainer and several Republican officeholders who sued as individuals.
Stickman, an appointee of President Donald Trump, wrote in his ruling that, while the governor’s efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus “were undertaken with the good intention of addressing a public health emergency … even in an emergency, the authority of government is not unfettered.”
PEW POLLS: If you’re a real poll geek, you will find this article interesting. It deep dives into demographic statistics from 2016 and 2018. Ed Morrissey at Hot Air then looks at what the Pew findings might mean for 2020.
TRANSITION INTEGRITY PROJECT: A faux-bipartisan group run by individuals linked to leftist mega-donor George Soros and the Chinese Communist Party-affiliated Berggruen Institute.
They are receiving an avalanche of positive press coverage from the Slime Stream Media for their dishonest attacks on the Trump campaign and calls to Biden supporters to riot if Trump wins.
UNITED AIRLINES: Two flight attendants at United, one Black (28) and one Jewish (34), are suing the airline for allegedly excluding them from the plum flights chartered by professional sports teams.
By rights, the more senior attendants should get first dibs on these plum flights where the crews earn more, are provided with premium accommodations, and also sometimes get valuable infield passes and tickets to games, including playoff and Super Bowl games.
Apparently, all those “woke” athletes pimping for BLM prefer young, blonde women on their charter flights. And United gives them what they want.
UNITED NATIONS: The U.N. has tapped South African Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, a former abortionist and an advocate for teen prostitution, to its top post of expert on health and human rights.
Anti-human trafficking organizations denounced Mofokeng’s call for the normalization of prostitution as merely another occupation
WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “[After] I received some devastating news … I took it upon myself to write a FB post requesting for everyone to send … good thoughts, love, positivity and prayers. … My childhood best friend put me on blast for everyone to see saying that I do not deserve good thoughts, love and prayers because of my political beliefs. Needless to say, it got heated, and downright ugly.
“Sadly, she is no longer my friend and we will never speak to each other again because she truly feels that my family and I are going through this devastating time because it’s our karma [from] our political beliefs. This is coming from someone who my family and I were there for when no one, not even her own family were. …
“I joined this group back in July because I truly love reading everyone’s stories. [They] give me hope.
And if there’s ever a time that I need hope and reassurance, it’s today. Thank you all for reading my story. It felt good getting this off my chest and hopefully this time I can get some good, positive feedback from all of my fellow patriots.”
GRAMMY NOTES: From Mama Buzz – Hey, Polinators! We got our Veggie Tales puzzles back when Buzz was just a little guy. Bootz is following in his brother and sister’s footsteps with a love for puzzles.
CALIFORNIA: Then there’s this … “On Saturday night two Sheriff’s deputies including a 31-year-old mother of a six-year-old were ambushed and shot in their car in Los Angeles. Video shows a very short man or child stalking the sitting car and then shooting the two deputies several times in the head. When the deputies were brought to St. Francis Hospital in Los Angeles by ambulance Black Lives Matter activists swarmed the hospital and blocked the entry and screamed, ‘We hope the bitch dies!’”
COVID: Be cautious about COVID-19 vaccines – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a law called the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which provides immunity to vaccine companies if something (side effects, permanent injuries, deaths) goes wrong.
PENNSYLVANIA: Lancaster – When BLM rioters swarmed the police station and ignored eight orders to back off, police used CS gas, stun grenades, mace, and rubber billets to clear them out.
A Lancaster Black Lives Matter militant called for people to shoot police in retaliation.
The excuse for the Lancaster riot was the shooting of Ricardo Munoz. His sister called the police to report that he was aggressive and attempting to break into their mother’s home. When officers arrived, he lunged at one of them with a knife.
Munoz liked knives. In 2019, he stabbed four people. It’s not clear why he was walking the streets in 2020, free to menace his mom, sister, and police officers with a knife. But he’s not any more.
PRIVILEGE: Aka, bad manners – A black, female airline passenger was video’d refusing to move so a white the flight attendant could get past her. It made the internet, but probably not the MSM news, since the colors of the two didn’t support their narrative of a Raaacist America.
Rude woman who happened to be Black: “Don’t push me.”
Flight attendant who happened to be White: “I need to get to the back.”
Rude: “She put her hands on me! She wants to go to jail! You all see how she’s antagonizing me?”
When a passenger who also happened to be White attempt to aid the flight attendant, she gets a face full of the rude woman’s mask-less ire.
“Are you my boss? You are white privilege, you’re not my boss. Sit down! “You have white privilege and it’s not here, it’s over with, it’s 2020, wake up. You need to understand, you don’t run America no more sweetheart,” she spewed at the White woman, going on to explain how she once “slapped the shit” out of a “white bitch” for disrespecting her on a bus back when she was 14 (when it was not 2020). It’s unclear what happened after the clip ended.
Way back in the sixties, two Black girls tripped me as I was coming through a school door and laughed about it. I whirled around, fully intending to kick the witch, until I saw she had white tights on and I thought, “My dirty shoe will ruin her tights”, so I didn’t. Then my eyes scanned up and I realized it was probably a good thing I’m anal about dirt, because there were two of them and one of me, and they were Black … or did we call them African-American or People of Color that year. I get so confused.
I don’t know for a fact that the two twits tripped me for Walking while White, but it seems likely, since that was the year the armed Blacks took over the student union building at Cornell University in my home town of Ithaca, NY. I got off easy with just one minor incident. Some of my White classmates were beaten.
This was my first experience with racism. I only learned much later that there were parts of America that were overtly racist against Blacks in the ’60s. Liberal Ithaca was the opposite. In fact, when I was in elementary school, I had a playmate who apparently had brown skin. I didn’t pay attention. She was just Chloe to me. I overheard some woman say, “Isn’t that sweet? Black and White playing so nicely together.” And I distinctly remember thinking the woman was an idiot, because why wouldn’t we?
URUSHIOL: The oily substance produced by poison oak, Chinese lacquer tree, poison ivy, poison sumac and in parts of the mango tree that causes an itchy, red rash.
At the link is a video I don’t know how to embed here. In it, a skin specialist explains (and demonstrates) FOR FREE how to avoid getting a urushiol rash.
The oil doesn’t cause the rash instantly. It has to be on your skin for hours. So he key is to wash thoroughly with hot water, a grease cutting detergent AND a wash cloth without missing any spots, like between the fingers, on the underside of the arms, behind the ears, etc.
He demonstrates using black motor oil, which behaves like urushiol but is easier to see.
WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – “I don’t talk about President Trump to other people because I’m not supposed to be a Republican. I’m black! I’m a woman! I shared something with my family one day about us as Christians needing to show respect to the President because of his office. That’s what the Bible tells us to do.
“Well that didn’t go over too well. I was told that I was being oppressed by the oppressor. I was told that there was nothing presidential about him so they would not respect him. I got quiet again. But I could feel the need to stop hiding. Everyone gets to talk about how great Obama was, how great Biden and Harris will be, and here I sat quietly not saying anything for fear of rejection.
“And then today I stumbled upon this group and read some of the posts. Story after story, I realized there were more people out there like my husband and me!! And if they could share their stories, well so could I! So here I am!!”
GRAMMY NOTES: Our granddaughter was missing us so much on Grandparents Day that we attempted a Zoom chat. We couldn’t get the video working on our side. We got to see her do her new gymnastics moves, but she almost cried about not being able to see us, so we tried to take a Selfie. As you can tell, it was our first attempt. LOL
Today’s To Do List includes “Learn how to use Zoom.” I may also look into “How in blazes do you hold the stinking phone steady to take a decent Selfie?” I may need to reword that second one before putting it into my search engine.
ACLJ: The Chief Counsel for The American Center for Law and Justice is Jay Sekulow. He wrote this autobiographical article that is posted at Jews for Jesus. I thought it was very interesting.
ANTI-POLICE CULTURE: [5:50] – Former police officer Brandon Tatum has strong words for the rioters who tear up our communities, terrorize people, and support “scum of the earth” like rapist Jacob Blake.
CALIFORNIA: Sacramento – The “Let Us Worship” rally last week-end drew an estimated twelve thousand Californians to worship in defiance of Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s attempt to restrict religious services in his state.
NEW HAMPSHIRE: Clown politics – The current incumbent in the race for Cheshire County Sheriff is Sheriff Eli Rivera, a popular, five-term Democrat. He is considered such a shoe-in for another term that nobody else even bothered to put their name on the ballot … except for Aria DeMezzo, who just won the Republican nomination.
Aria is a transgender anarchist who ran on the simple, three-word campaign slogan, “F*** the police.” He is also a worshiper of Satan. Shockingly, neither the county nor state Republican parties have been offering much in the way of support for his candidacy.
Jazz Shaw at Hot Air notes, “Is there some lesson to take away from all of this? Perhaps. If you’re involved in politics at the local level, even in a casual way, you should probably make sure to put someone’s name on the ballot even if your party is vastly in the minority.”
NFL: I’m so glad I never cared about professional sports – On the eve of 9/11, these pampered princess (who are paid millions to play a game) ignored our first responders and continued with their disrespect for our nation and their support for rapist Jacob Blake.
According to a recent poll, 47% of those with a “very favorable” opinion of President Trump said they were “less interested” in the 2020 NFL season.
TRUMP: 2020 – We need him for four more years. And he needs a supportive Congress!
VOTING: 2020 – For absentee voting, a voter has to request a ballot and explain why they qualify for it. Absentee voting is allowed for voters who will be out of the county during the voting period, for disabled or ill voters, for voters who are age 65 or older, and for voters who are eligible, but incarcerated.
Democrats want to move to universal voting by mail, whereby all registered voters would automatically receive a ballot at their last known address. Since many areas are really sloppy about keeping their voter rolls up to date, this will inevitably lead to ballots going to people who registered, but have since died or moved.
Democrats lost their bid to require the Sate of Texas to expand mail-in voting to all eligible registered voters. They claimed that denying universal mail-in voting was age discrimination and alower court granted a preliminary ruling in their favor. But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has just overturned it. But it looks like the County Clerk in Harris County (who has been in office all of 2 months) wants to go ahead with mail-in for his county … even though they’ve never done it before and there’s no guarantee they can handle the work load it will create.
I am relieved that New York State has merely offered the opportunity for people to request an absentee ballot on the basis of “sickness” due to COVID. So, it’s a one time only expansion of the absentee excuse list, NOT a permanent change to mass mailings.
WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt is from another person whose alarm rang during the quarantine because she watched the Task Force briefings and compared them to what the Slime Stream Media said Trump said that Trump never said – “I started researching…..and researching. The more I read the further away from the democratic party I got. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe the extent to which the media and the dems will go to bring this man down. A man that gets shunned, bashed, threatened, and ridiculed his every waking second and does it all for FREE. What kind of greedy power hungry person does this?? None that I know of. I have never witnessed so much love for our country than what I have seen from our President.”
You MUST find a half our to watch this video! [29:59]
Steve Jalsevec wrote at LifeSite, that this “video by Dave Cullen, the Irish Internet blogger whom I consider to be one of the more well-informed, brilliant, and bluntly honest research analysts on the Wuhan virus crisis … is a half-hour blockbuster. You absolutely MUST take the time to watch it.
“Cullen astutely takes viewers through a series of charts, text excerpts, and video statements by various notable persons related to the pandemic. In the process, he presents what I consider to be a very solid case for the title of this blog post [People behind COVID scam are ‘deeply cruel, evil, and psychotic people’]. …
“Folks, if you continue to believe the lies that you are being fed by most of the media, liberal political leaders, and by your governments and health ministries, then we are heading for a never-in-history level of grief, loss of freedoms and tyranny all over the world that you cannot now even imagine.
