Excerpts from Spectator USA’s ‘The Melania Tapes’ reveal she’s even cooler than we thought’ by Amber Athey (Oct 3, 2020) [with commentary by me].
Just a couple of hours before President Trump announced that he and his wife, first lady Melania, had tested positive for coronavirus, the world was exposed to the so-called ‘Melania Tapes’. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former friend of the first lady, released to CNN multiple recordings she took of her private conversations with Melania.
[WTF?! She pretended to be Melania’s friend, while she was secretly taping private conversations that she intended to turn into a book? I pray, most sincerely, that the good Lord grants Mrs. Trump all the graces she needs to honestly forgive this Judas BITCH for such a vile betrayal.]
Leftists who already despise the first lady raged about how she supposedly ‘hates’ Christmas and doesn’t care about migrant children. However, the tapes actually revealed a deeply sympathetic and relatable figure belied by Melania’s somewhat aloof and statuesque public persona.
‘I’m working…my ass off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a fuck about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?’ Melania complains in one recording, capturing the hearts of every suburban mom who dreads dragging the boxes of Christmas decorations out of the attic every December.
[You got that in one, says this mom who refuses to decorate unless at least one of her offspring promises to show up at Christmas-time with some precious grandkids cuz dayum I’m sick of the fuss. Drag it all out. Sort it while ::coughcoughing:: from the dust. Spend hours putting it all up, knowing how long it’s going to take to pack it all away again in January.]
In another clip, Melania shatters the condescending and conspiratorial #FreeMelania meme, which purports that the first lady is secretly a liberal who must be rescued from a loveless and abusive marriage. When she goes off on the ‘liberal media’ and its coverage of the migrant child crisis at the border, Melania makes clear that not only she is not a victim, she is perhaps just as right-wing as her husband. That automatically makes her a hero to conservative women who are routinely accused of betraying their gender and voting Republican because they are subservient to their husbands.
[Yes! I have long suspected that this strong, beautiful woman is one of the reasons that Donald is such a good man and great president. I got my first inkling of her backbone and wit when I watched one of the first episodes of The Apprentice. The winners of one of the daily contests got to go up to the Trump Tower penthouse for a private tour with then-girlfriend Melania. One of them gushed about how gorgeous it all is and said, “You’re so lucky!” Melania replied, “You don’t think he’s the lucky one?” LOL You go, girl!]
Wolkoff and CNN made a major miscalculation. They thought that exposing Melania’s intimate conversations would turn Wolkoff into a folk hero. Instead, it revealed her to be a horrible friend who was willing to abuse Melania’s trust in order to sell books. None of us would want to be held accountable for the things we think or say in our most private moments, but if the worst Melania says behind closed doors is that she gets annoyed with Christmas decorations and can’t stand the media, she sure is a hell of a lot like us.
[Plus, I was not at all bothered to learn that she drops an f-bomb or two when she’s especially pissed off. Like her, I try to behave like a lady in public. But when I’m riled, yeah, I use some language, because that’s what it’s FOR.]
On Saturday evening, POTUS made the video above [4:02]. He is receiving Remdesivir and Regeneron. His doctor feels “the two of those in combination should help clear the virus out of his body much sooner than his body could do it on its own.“
On Sunday, his doctor said he is doing well enough that he might be able to return to the White House on Monday. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=819003185305859 [4:25] to hear the Sunday medical presser.
BET: Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television and life long Democrat, was once a big dollar Democrat donor. But he now supports Trump, because his economic plans are better. He especially likes Trump’s focus on cutting business regulations that prevent small businesses from being successful.
BIDEN: Come on, man! – On September 9, Slow Joe announced the U.S. military had suffered 118,984 infections and 6,114 deaths from COVID-19. The actual numbers on September 9 were 40,026 infections and 7 deaths.
Word Salad in graphic: September 15, 2020, Tampa, Florida.
BIKERS: A touching video of bikers praying is circulating the internet with a nice, but inaccurate description. The title on the video claims the bikers were outside of Walter Reed praying for President Trump’s recovery, but the original video was uploaded on September 12, 2020, weeks before Trump got sick.
CALIFORNIA: Berkley – On Tuesday night, the city council unanimously voted that, starting next year, grocery stores larger than 2,500 square feet will only be allowed to sell “healthy” snacks in the “impulse purchase” zone around check out registers.
CHRISTIE: New Jersey’s former Republican Gov. Chris Christie checked into a hospital on Saturday evening after testing positive for COVID-19.
“In consultation with my doctors, I checked myself into Morristown Medical Center this afternoon. While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure,” Christie wrote on Twitter.
Christie is now the eighth person known to have tested positive out of the approximately 150 who were at the Rose Garden ceremony for Amy Coney Barrett.
The Lame Stream Media, which has totally ignored all the coronavirus spikes in cities where “mostly peaceful protests” happened, is making a thing about the Rose Garden ceremony. But health officials in Cleveland are busy contact tracing the 11 known cases of virus associated with the Sept. 29 presidential debate.
COMMIES FOR JOE: Bob Akavian, leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, has come out in support of Joe Biden for President. The ChiComs also want Biden in the White House
I don’t know anyone who caught it, though I do know someone who works with someone who tested positive.
FREEDOM TOONS: Guns, less important than ever [3:19] – The maker of Freedom Toons is a conservative Catholic whose humor runs along the lines of South Park.
H8TERS: An unabashedly left-wing weekly got ratio’d so badly for laughing about the Trumps catching the coronavirus that they actually took it down.
HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: Must Watch! – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1445456392330899 [6:57] to hear Rep. Devin Nunes [R-CA], the ranking member of the committee, NUKE the activities of the committee under Rep. Adam Schiff [D-CA].
ILLEGAL CARAVANS: My how things have changed since Obama was in office! – Roughly 1,000 migrants, primarily from Honduras, recently formed up and headed north. Their numbers swelled to 2,000 as they moved through Guatemala and toward Mexico’s southern border.
That’s as far as they got. The governments of both Guatemala and Mexico stepped up their games and shut the caravan down almost entirely. The vast majority of them were transported back to where they came from. A few small groups made it past the roadblocks, but nowhere near the thousands that might have been on the way had Trump’s policies not gone into effect.
Since Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy is still in effect and being supported by the Mexican government, so they’re not going to get across our southern border either … unless they can find and afford a coyote to smuggle them across in the increasingly scarce places that’s still possible. Cuz The Wall Works!
LA TIMES: LA Times reporter Del Quentin Wilber got some well deserved blow back for his garbage piece comparing Reagan getting shot with Trump catching coronavirus.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1811134922368828 [3:21] to hear Kayleigh McEnany take down the Slime Stream Media for carrying water for Democrats and violent left-wing groups like ANTIFA.
MEDICAL FRAUD: The DOJ has charged 345 people from across the country with submitting more than $6 billion in false and fraudulent claims to federal health care programs and private insurers. The group includes more than 100 doctors, nurses and other licensed medical professionals.
MICHAEL MOORE: I’d call this man a pig, but that would be an insult to pigs.
WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt – I decided to “go onto YouTube and check out some of the President’s speeches for myself. What did he REALLY say that time? Were those his actual words? Much to my surprise, I came across things I knew had been taken out of context at CNN because I had been watching CNN when it was reported.
“I was slowly beginning to see just how brainwashed the leftist media had made me. President Trump DOES love this country! What? He doesn’t even take a salary to do all he does? WOW! And of course I had to go back to the last three years of tax returns and take a gander at our investments to see we were in much better shape financially today that we ever have been in the past. Oh wow! Did he just say he supports law enforcement and is against the taking down of historical statues?
“One by one, I began to learn the issues and look at his record for myself. I began tuning into the YouTube channel to watch the energetic rallies he was holding in cities all over the USA! Then I realized why he’s so disliked: He is NOT a politician! He is a businessman and because of that, the establishment has decided he’s bad for the country.”
WIND POWER: Renewable energy? Tens of thousands of aging wind turbine blades are coming down from steel towers around the world. But they can’t be recycled.
When they wear out, they have to be sawed with a diamond-encrusted industrial saw into three pieces small enough to be strapped to a tractor-trailer. Then they have to be trucked to one of the handful of landfills that take them.
I’d love to see a kilowatt-hours to landfill waste comparison for wind and nuclear.
PRAYING: President Donald Trump has moved to the presidential offices at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he will work, the White House said.
“I’m a former Democrat and I’m here with fellow patriots outside of Walter Reed hospital praying for our president. He is such an incredible strong person and I know he will pull through. America needs him more than ever. It’s interesting how the other side claims “loves Trumps hate” yet they pass by in their cars yelling vile horrible things. It’s one of many reasons I walked away from those virtue signaling, hypocritical bullies. I am on the right side of history and on November 3rd, we will prevail! #WalkAway #Trump2020”
2020: During September, the post-COVID Trump economy added another 661,000 jobs.
While that looks like a slow down over the previous four months (June = 4.8 million; May = 2.7 million; July = 1.7 million; August = 1.4 million), the number needs to be taken in context. In short, we are still experiencing the most dynamic economic recovery in American history.
The monthly high mark for job growth during the Obama-Biden recovery was 540,000 jobs (May 2010).
ABORTION: [4:47] – The Pro-Life Reply to “Abort babies with terminal conditions.” … I’ve never understood why, if one’s child will not survive outside the womb, the parents don’t WANT to let it live as long as possible inside the womb. If your born child were diagnosed with a fatal illness, would you make every moment special or hand him over to be euthanized asap so you can get on with your life?
BODY LANGUAGE: The Body Language Ghost reviewed the first 2020 Presidential debate [19:54] – While watching Biden she says, “If lies were a drinking game, we’d all be dead from alcohol poisoning.” She also points out many signs that he may have been getting help via an ear piece.
DEMOCRAT DIRTBAG: Cal Cunningham (D-NC) has been caught swapping sexts and arranging to meet with the wife of a fellow Army veteran. Cunningham is married, has two children, and has the Democratic nomination to one of the U.S. Senate seats from North Carolina. His paramour’s husband served five combat deployments during his 15 years in the military.
Cunningham has admitted everything. “I have hurt my family, disappointed my friends, and am deeply sorry.” But, he’s not dropping out of the race.
Until now, he’s been leading in the polls over his Republican opponent, Thom Tillis. One hopes the revelation that thought it was okay to carry on with his adulterous affair while he was campaigning for one of the highest offices in the land proves he’s too damn dumb to be given a vote in the U.S. Senate.
LOVE TRUMPS HATE: North Korean dictator and the man Trump calls “Rocket Man” sent a gracious note saying he “sincerely hopes” that President and Mrs. Trump both recover as soon as possible.
The fact that a Communist dictator has more decency than the Left tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic Party in 2020.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: [5:40] – Less than an hour after Trump announced he caught COVID-19, the Washington Post published “Opinion: Imagine what it will be like to never have to think about Trump again.”
Trump’s tweet announcing he had tested positive to the coronavirus has received 1.8 MILLION “hearts.” Leftist disgust me.
MICHIGAN: Unlocked – On Friday, the Michigan Supreme Court declared the state’s World War II-era “emergency powers” law unconstitutional.
For the past several months, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has been using this law to impose draconian regulations and keep her state economy locked down.
Whitmer, who sadly for Michiganders has two more years in office, issued a statement in which she accused the justices who ruled in the majority of playing politics and made it clear she has no intention of complying one minute before she has to.
“It is important to note that this ruling does not take effect for at least 21 days, and until then, my emergency declaration and orders retain the force of law.”
BABYLON BEE: Governor Gretchen Whitmer is refusing to throw the Ring of Power back into Mount Doom, despite the Michigan Supreme Court ordering her to return it into the fires whence it came.
“Throw it into the fire! Destroy it!” shouted a judge sitting on the court, after leading Whitmer to the Cracks of Doom. “We can end this all right now!“
“Nooo! Not my precious!” Whitmer screamed as the state Supreme Court handed down the order to destroy the Ring. “Nasty, nasty Constitution! We don’t likes it! Nasty, fat Founding Fathers!” She turned and left.
MILITARY: Power napping – The U.S. Army has updated its health and fitness plan for the first time in 8 years. One change that jumps out is the recommendation to take naps.
“Soldiers can use short, infrequent naps to restore wakefulness and promote performance. When routinely available sleep time is difficult to predict, soldiers might take the longest nap possible as frequently as time is available.“
SCOTUS: MSNBC’s Chris Hayes tweeted about Amy Coney Barrett – “Call me crazy, but it seems to me that to be a good judge, you need to have good judgment? Participating in a super spreader event that contravenes local DC law and CDC guidance doesn’t strike me as good judgment.”
Never mind that Barrett is in good health and nowhere near the age range most at risk of getting a serious case.
Also never mind that another Supreme – Ruth Bader Ginsburg – officiated at a wedding in August 2020, despite being squarely inside BOTH of the top risk categories. She was 87-years-old AND suffering from pancreatic cancer.
But, yeah, Chris. Tell us some more about how unqualified you think ACB is…
WALK AWAY: Jenny Uebbing (aka, Mama Needs Coffee) wrote a really wonderful piece about why she reluctantly voted for Trump in 2016, but is now eager to vote for him again in November. Here are a few bits to whet your appetite:
In 2016, “the American people were supposed to reject Trump resoundingly. Because the moral elite, fatally impaired in most of the actual virtues but prodigies in the art of virtue signaling, insisted that we do so, because Trump was yucky.”
But “Hillary Clinton was – is – demonstrably one of the more (most?) corrupt politicians in recent American history. Never mind that her stance on every issue under the sun was about as far left as the Golden Gate bridge, never mind that her husband was an actual sexual predator who carried on his philanderings in the actual White House, I was expected to – nay, commandedto – throw my support behind Clinton based largely upon her proud possession of a uterus. Because feminism!”
“I don’t know about you, but I am sick to death of being moralized and preached to by a corrupt, spineless, and utterly compromised media who literally say the opposite of what is true.”
PRAYERS: POTUS and FLOTUS have tested positive for COVID-19. Let us flood Heaven with prayers for their swift recovery.
2020: “Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are thugs.” [2:59] – Trump has been condemning hatred since long before he became president. My word to Joe Biden and all the lying Left goes like this: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
ABORTION: [3:34] – The Pro-Life Reply to “I’m personally opposed but…”
ACB: Barrett’s nomination has caused pro-abortion feminists to roll out their most “compelling” arguments. And by compelling, I mean “really stupid.”
Wandy Felicita Ortiz says ACB “hates your uterus” because she believes that the scientific fact that human life begins at conception means that the unborn should have the same rights as the born.
And Christine Grimaldi was just furious that ACB brought her husband and children to the White House for Trump’s announcement. According to her, “Trump and Barrett using her black children and child with Down Syndrome to score political points” was “appalling.”
ANTIFA: Biden refused to condemn ANTIFA, claiming it is not an organization, but an idea – “It’s no wonder Biden and the left want to point the finger of violence and fascism at Trump. They have 3 other fingers on the same hand pointing right back at themselves.” – Brandon Tatum
BIDEN: During the first debate, President Trump went after Joe Biden HARD on his corrupt drug and sex addicted son Hunter. Joe Biden accused Trump of lying about Hunter (except he wasn’t).
Since the debate, Google searches for “Hunter Biden” shot up TEN-FOLD.
CALIFORNIA: Gov. Newsom (D) really, really HATES his constituents – On the 197th day of “15 days to slow the spread,” California’s Democrat governor has moved the reopening goal posts AGAIN.
Originally counties had to meet metrics aimed at ensuring adequate rates of testing and the availability of hospital/ICU beds/ventilators. When those were met, he enacted by gubernatorial fiat a tiered system that completely ignored those metrics and instead focused on daily new cases and positivity rate.
Now that more counties are set to move out of the most restrictive tier, Newsom has again changed the game. Now counties with a population of greater than 106,000, the county must ensure that test positivity rates in their most disadvantaged neighborhoods are not significantly behind the overall county.
Newsom has signed more than 100 executive orders during the pandemic and spent billions of dollars without specific authorization. And the Democrat supermajority is letting him.
CONTRIVED: Sept 30th tweet above by ABC’s Kyra Phillips, who is engaged to to Fox News’ John Roberts – CLICK https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1311721584089067521 [1:58] to hear Kayleigh McEnany slap down Fox News’ jerknalist John Roberts on October 1st.
Afterwards, conservatives hammered Roberts on Twitter, including McEnany who forwarded the Phillips tweet above to Roberts saying, “I would refer you to your wife’s reporting from 21 hours ago… accurate reporting I cited in the White House Press Briefing.”
Meanwhile, I’m waiting to hear anyone in the Slime Media or Democrat Party give a toot if Biden denounces BLM and ANTIFA. But I’m NOT holding my breath.
COVID-19: Among the nasties hoping the Trumps die is Zara Rahim (Hillary’s 2016 national campaign spokeswoman), Zach Graumann (Andrew Yang’s campaign manager), MSNBC’s Joy Reid, and actor John Cusack. Keep this in mind the next time someone on the Left says Trump lacks the necessary empathy to be president.
The New York Slime said Trump should drop out of the race and MSNBC fantasized about a President Pelosi, even though POTUS only has mild symptoms and VPOTUS tested negative. And other totally reasonable Democrats think Judge Barrett’s Senate hearing should be postponed.
DEBATE: Slow Joe will have another babysitter – C-SPAN’’s Steve Scully – moderating the second debate on Oct. 15. Not only did Scully once worked as an intern for then-Sen. Joe Biden, but in March, 2016, he retweeted an Op Ed in the New York Slime entitled “No, Not Trump, Not Ever.”
DISNEYLAND: Walt Disney Co. Executive Chairman Bob Iger is fed up with California’s Uber Democrat governor’s refusal to allow theme parks to reopen. He abruptly resigned from the governor’s COVID-19 economic task force.
It doesn’t sound like Newsom was listening to Iger or anyone else who actually knows or cares about California’s rapidly failing economy. So maybe now Iger can do something more productive, like watch paint dry.
FIREFIGHTER: Last month, 5-year-old Carver from Oregon sent a Baby Yoda doll to firefighters. Baby Yoda has made the rounds from fire to fire in multiple states – including Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah – giving moral support to firefighters on the front lines. A Facebook page called “Baby Yoda fights fires” has tracked his journeys.
GUN NUTS: Last month, an El Paso County, Colorado, on-line school teacher saw a 12-year-old’s neon green, plastic toy gun, complete with orange tip and the words “Zombie Hunter” etched on the barrel. Rather than questioning the child, or asking to speak to his parents, the teacher alerted a school admin, who in turn called the cops who then came to the boy’s home and traumatized him. Having ascertained that the “gun” was a toy, the school decided to suspend him for five days. His parents are looking for a new school.
A couple of weeks later, a Harvey, Louisiana, on-line school teacher saw an unloaded BB gun in the video frame of a fourth grader. The school suspended the boy for six days, citing a “no guns” policy written for in-class instruction. Except the boy wasn’t IN class, was her? ::smh:: The parents hired a lawyer who says, “It’s not ending here.”
HYPOCRISY: “If this is persecution, I want some.” – Candace Owens – LeBron said, “We’re literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes!” He just purchased the Hollywood mansion once owned by Katherine Hepburn for $36.8 million.
NEW YORK SLIME: The Fishwrap of Record – The New York Times criticized Trump for using legal tax avoidance methods to reduce his tax liability. These included investing in money-losing businesses, paying his daughter a salary, and writing off as business expenses costs — including fuel and meals — associated with the aircraft he used to shuttle between his businesses.
The Times ought to know how it’s done. The New York Times Company and the Ochs-Sulzberger family that control it have done all of the same things.
PANTS ON FIRE: His “not my plan” is a distinction without a difference. His plan proclaims his support for the central principles of the Green New Deal, if not every thorny particular of it.
PENNSYLVANIA: Philadelphia – On Thursday, the Trump campaign filed court papers arguing that Philadelphia officials are preventing campaign representatives from watching people registering to vote or fill out mail-in ballots in election offices in Philadelphia.
Also, memory sticks that are used to program Philadelphia voting machines have been stolen from a city warehouse. But it’s cool. A spokesman from the city commissioners office says they are “confident that this incident will not in any way compromise the integrity of the election.”
Yeah. No. Philadelphia is the city whose Democrat politicians refused to respond to repeated allegations of health code violations made against abortionist and Kermit Gosnell. The appalling conditions inside Gosnell’s clinic were only revealed after the DEA raided because he had been selling narcotics illegally.
Philadelphia is also the city that is still NOT inspecting abortion clinics, despite the horrors uncovered in Gosnell’s clinic which was followed by his conviction on three counts of murder and one count of manslaughter.
TOLERANCE: U.S. cyclist Quinn Simmons (19) has been suspended from his team for posting statements on Twitter that the sponsor considered “divisive, incendiary, and detrimental to the team.”
His horrible, awful, no-good HATE SPEECH consisted of admitting he supports President Trump.
2020: Trump won the debate, says Andrea Widburg at American Thinker – “It wasn’t an apparent victory, but it was a real one: He showed his base and ordinary Americans that he will always fight while forcing Biden to disavow both his hard-left base and the last of the old-fashioned Democrats who still support him.”
ABORTION: [5:03] – The Pro-Life Reply to “Abortion will stop overpopulation.” China has aborted 400 Million babies and they brag about it, all in the name of population control. Yet the real problem is under, not overpopulation.
ACB: “She represents the true feminist agenda. We embrace the gifts God gives us, especially the gift of having babies as that is something that only women can do. We can have a career, children , Faith, and family. This is the true feminist creed not the abomination that today’s ‘feminist’ movement is.” – Colleen Earley Garson
CANADA: Google searches for terms like “how to move to Canada,” “move to Canada,” and “how to apply for Canadian citizenship,” all shot up on the search engine both during and after the debate. I’m just guessing here, but I doubt those people were Trumpers.
DEBATE: According to the Washington Post, Trump refused to condemn white supremacists and militia members during the presidential debate. The transcript (above) proves their lie.
Meanwhile, Biden refused to condemn Antifa, saying it was “an idea, not an organization”, which isn’t even close to true. Then, Wallace tried to end the argument.
FLIP FLOP: FLIP Prez-candidate Joe says he believes funds need to be directed away from the police, but FLOP he does not support defunding police.
FLIP Then VP-candidate Joe promised 2008 to fully fund the COPS program, but FLOP while he and Obama were in office, their administration slashed COPS funding dramatically … from $1.55 billion to just $222 million.
OBAMACARE: Obama’s repeated statements – “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” – were voted the Biggest Lies of the Year.
For Julia’s family, they were the Biggest Tragedy of the Year. Julia was born with a rare muscle and bone condition. In 2010, her family was paying about $1,000 per month for health insurance. Within three years of President Obama signing the mis-named “Affordable Care Act” those premiums had risen to $3,000 each month with higher deductibles. Eventually, Julia and her family lost their plan altogether.
Joe Biden supported Obamacare. He still thinks it’s the best plan for American. Vote for Trump.
GRAMMY NOTES: I remember having mine on when I was standing next to an electric garage door. When the door went up, I discovered that my poncho was snagged on it. Some choking and panic ensured. Obviously, I survived. My poncho did not.
2020: These things have never happened before, but since this is 2020, we might as well be prepared.
Technically we are each voting for a slate of electors, not a specific candidate, so if a presidential candidate withdraws or dies before Election Day, the party will simply replace the candidate.
If a candidate withdraws or dies between Election Day and the Electoral College meeting, things get more complex, because different states have different rules. The Supreme Court will likely come into play.
If the President-elect dies or is unable to assume office on Inauguration Day, the 20th Amendment says the Vice President elect shall act as President.
ABORTION: [4:45] – The Pro-Life Reply to “Babies with disabilities are better off aborted.”
ACB: [2:48] – Read the inspiring testimony of one of her former law students, a blind woman, who personally experienced the grace of Judge Barrett’s faith walk
ALABAMA: Tuscaloosa [3:54] – Hundreds of University of Alabama students were forced to sit through a so-called “inclusion” seminar delivered by far-left speaker Jane Elliott. In it, the speaker disparaged and lied about Conservatives and President Trump.
For example, she claimed Trump “has admitted to being racist, sexist, ageist, homophobic, and ethnocentrist” (none of which Trump has actually admitted), and said his supporters backed him anyway “because he is opposed to abortion.”
She also claimed Trump sleeps in bed with Hitler’s “speeches and manuscripts”, said “religious people need to get over abortion,” “evangelical Christians are terrible,” “George Washington was a terrible person,” “race doesn’t exist,” and the terms “gay” and “straight” are both “offensive.”
Meanwhile, the University of Alabama is busy rolling out their new OneUA initiative, the slogan for which is “Hate doesn’t roll here.”
Note: The video above is not part of the seminar. It’s just the shortest example of her presenting her nasty ideas that I could find on YouTube.
Her rants bear absolutely NO relationship to any piece or part of my 18 years of formal education. In fact, I complained to my kids’ elementary school about how they were spending time every year, year after year, talking about this, that, and the other brown civilization.
I asked when my kids would get to study their own heritage. “They’ll get that in high school.” Great. They won’t hear one good thing about their own ancestors until they’re obsessed with their hair and their hormones. ::smh::
BIRDS OF A FEATHER: Chris Wallace has been added to my “do not click” list.
CALIFORNIA: Yorba Linda – Brian Rokos tweeted about a confrontation between BLMers and pro-Trumpers last Saturday. “The counter-protesters call BLM protesters ‘criminals’, yet it is the counter-protesters who are breaking the law today by jaywalking across Imperial Highway to engage the BLM people.” Oh noes! Jaywalking! Say it isn’t so!
One of the BLM-supporters showed how “peaceful” her organization is by jumping into her car and plowing through the crowd of pro-Trumpers. Two people suffered serious injuries and the driver was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder.
CANCEL CULTURE: Prager U says, “Never apologize to the mob.” [5:34] – Paris Dennard describes the problem and offers a solution.
CINO JOE: During an interview on Sept. 28, Burke explained why Joe Biden is an apostate who should not receive Holy Communion, then said, “I don’t understand why Catholics who are involved in politics can’t get this straight in their heads, but they should.”
COVID-19: An Italian doctor makes a common sense point. “If the virus is no longer as strong as it was, if it is no longer capable of causing pathologies, then what is the problem of seeing it spread faster?”
FREEDOM TOONS: [3:09] – Black Lives Matter lies to you.
INSHALLAH: When debate moderator and Fox News anchor Chris Wallace asked Trump when Americans could expect to see his tax returns, Trump replied, “You’ll get to see it.”
Biden replied, “When? Inshallah?”
According to the Washington Post, Biden also used the word “inshallah” at a New Hampshire campaign event earlier this year when speaking about Medicare for All. “It’s going to take at least four years to pass it. Inshallah. You’re not going to pass it.”
Inshallah means “God willing” and is associated with Islam, though my friend who used to be married to a Muslim says both Christian and Muslim Arabs use it.
What it means in conversation depends on the context. When used formally or in earnest, it means the speaker is hopeful for a certain end result.
However, it can also be said sarcastically, as Biden has done, it means the speaker doesn’t think the end result will ever happen.
Some folks saw Biden’s use of the Arabic word as evidence of a cultural awareness that Trump lacks. Others saw it as pandering to the pro-Muslim, anti-Israel Left.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: Conservative radio show host Hugh Hewitt interviewed CNN’s Brian Stelter about his new book, Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth.
During the interview, Hewitt said his main problem with the book was that the Steele dossier has been completely discredited.
The Steele dossier, as anyone who has been paying even a little bit of attention knows, was the sole foundation upon which the Democrats’ based their dishonest FISA warrants, illegal spying operation, and lengthy Mueller investigation.
Stelter claimed he didn’t know anything about the Steele dossier.
Hmmmm … maybe it would be okay if we all skip reading his book, ya think?
PANTS ON FIRE: At the debate, Biden accused Trump of not doing anything to lower pricing on medicines. It simply isn’t true.
Senator Grassley, who is one of the leading figures in the Senate’s efforts to lower the drug prices, said President Trump has taken several actions to reduce prices. And Americans have noticed.
Tweet: “Biden is a liar, my wife’s medication went from $186 a month to $26. I know first hand Biden was lying.”
Tweet: “My Daughter In-laws friend is on insulin. Thanks to our @POTUS @realDonaldTrump her insulin went from $900 a month to $8 a month. She can afford to feed her family now.”
Tweet: “Joe Biden could’ve done this during his 47 years in government, but he didn’t.”

PEOPLE OF PRAISE: Hacked – On September 21, 2020, somebody hacked the website of the Charismatic group to which ACB belongs. The hack breached the membership database of the charismatic community.
SPYGATE: On Tuesday, Lindsey Graham released a letter from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. In it, Ratcliffe wrote that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were both involved in originating the Russia hoax and that former CIA director John Brennan pushed the investigation.
Andrea Widburg writes at American Thinker, “The Trump Department of Justice has known about this for a long time but hasn’t brought indictments because the administration is playing a long game. The D.C. federal judicial system is controlled by the Democrats, from the courtroom to the jurors. …
“This is why Trump and Mitch McConnell have been working to change the federal Judiciary from district courts up to the Supreme Court. The only way to get a fair trial is with judges who believe in the Constitution and the laws flowing from it. One of the things a fair judicial system will do is allow the administration to remove the trials from D.C. to a more neutral location.
“Until then, Trump is using the month before the election, a time when people are finally paying attention, to put the facts before the American public. We’ve finally entered the final phases of the power struggle in D.C., and Trump is playing to win. There was, therefore, a tone of real menace during Tuesday night’s debate, when Trump said loudly and clearly that he had absolute evidence of a coup against him.”
TWITTER: Mega fail – Twitter hasn’t removed the tweet or put any warning on it yet, even though they’ve banned other users for simply criticizing islam or using biologically accurate pronouns.
But, you know… calling for mass executions of Conservatives is totes okay.
GRAMMY NOTES: We’re in peak foliage week here in central New York State. In 1979, Dearest and I enjoyed leaf peeping during peak foliage while we were on our honeymoon in the third week of October. I’m no climate scientist, but it kinda sorta seems to me that if the climate had warmed, like AT ALL during the last 41 years, peak leaf week would be later, not three weeks EARLIER.
OVERALL: Dearest went to a watch party while I stayed home and went to bed early. Dearest said he wished he had opted for my choice. Just the News said the debate was rancorous, with no winner or new policy insights. The Washington Examiner called it acrimonious, starkly personal, and chaotic. I’m thinking I had the better evening.
HISPANIC VOTERS: For some reason, the Spanish-speaking audience that watched the debate on Telemundo felt 2:1 that Trump won the debate. This is amazing, considering that Hillary won the Hispanic vote 66 to 34 percent in the 2016 election.
Latin machismo is a thing, so maybe this voting group cued in on and applauded the fact that Trump looked stronger. Steven Hayward talked about this at Powerline: “[I watched] some of the post game show on several news channels, and I was struck by how uniformly glum the liberal network news types were. The subtext here was that Biden was weak in the face of Trump’s boorishness. The fact that so many media figures are saying the next two debates should be canceled is quite telling. I’m guessing they know Biden is going to wilt under the onslaught.
“About which: it is hardly a news flash that Trump can be a bully. But there may be a method to his seeming madness. Remember how Biden manhandled Paul Ryan in the 2012 debate by constantly interrupting and ridiculing Ryan? Ryan’s mistake was that he came prepared to debate policy ideas—silly wonk that he is—while Biden wanted to make Ryan look young and inexperienced. And he was successful at doing that with Ryan. Trump wasn’t about to let that happen, but along the way he did induce Biden into making several mistakes, such as refusing to answer about court packing, and getting Biden to back away from the Green New Deal. And ask yourself a simple question: who looked like the stronger person on that stage? That isn’t a close call.”
CHRIS WALLACE: Reportedly, Biden performed better than many of us expected, maybe because the so-called moderator, Chris Wallace, was actually pinch hitting for him. ‘Trump War Room’ said Wallace interrupted Trump 76 times, but only interrupted Biden 15 times.
“Joe Biden turned out to be the third wheel in tonight’s debate. For most of the night, it was Chris Wallace debating the president. Wallace claimed that President Trump called the white supremacists very fine people. Chris Wallace knew it was a lie but he agreed with Joe Biden. Wallace also claimed that Trump ended sensitivity training, which also is a lie.” – David Harris
WILL YOU PACK THE COURT? – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=625946731437150 [1:34] to hear Joe refuse to answer, get challenged by Trump, then tell the President of the United States to “shut up” and “stop yapping.”
CATHOLIC: “Shut up” and “stop yapping.” These are the same responses Joe Biden has given the Little Sisters of the Poor.
DO YOU SUPPORT BLM’S CALL TO DEFUND POLICE? – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3575821182442198 [5:38] to hear them interrupt, insult, and talk over each other. I’m so glad I skipped this thing.
HANNITY and DON Jr.: [10:01] – Their after-debate commentary was refreshing.
2020: Pants on fire – CLICK https://twitter.com/TCPigott/status/1188208476583026688 [:14] to hear Joe Biden pander for Black votes by claiming he attended Delaware State, an Historically Black College or University (HBCU).
He didn’t. He attended the University of Delaware (Class of 1965). He was a commencement keynote speaker at Delaware State a couple of time and the school awarded him honorary doctoral degree.That’s a far cry from getting his start at an HBCU.
2020: Trump’s taxes … yawn – The New York Times recently published a Super Big Story about President Trump’s tax returns (which they have no right to see).
If you have a favorite TDSer in your life, consider gifting a bottle of wine and a pan of marijuana brownies to the poor slob who no doubt needs a break from the realization that the Fish Wrap of Record found absolutely no evidence of any kind of wrongdoing in Trump’s tax returns (which they have no right to see).
CROSSFIRE HURRICANE: Aka, Russiagate: The FBI used the (fake) Steele dossier as its excuse to spy on the Trump campaign and White House. The “Primary Sub-Source” cited by the Steele dossier was a man the FBI suspected was a Russian spy and considered a “threat to national security.” And the FBI agents who investigated “Russia! Russia! Russia!” KNEW it. (In reality, the Russian spy was not a source, because Christopher Steele’s dossier was totally made up.)
FLYNN: Last week, Mike Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, revealed newly obtained documents showing that, in January 2017, FBI agents who were being forced to work on Comey’s bogus “Get Trump” investigation got worried enough about their back sides to buy professional liability insurance. They wanted themselves and their families to be protected if the truth came out and they got personally sued for the illegal crap Comey was making them do.
FRANCE: This guy has had his entire body, face and tongue covered in tattoos and had the whites of his eyes surgically turned black. He’s a primary school teacher who is no longer allowed to teach kindergarten, because he gives the wee kiddies nightmares.
As someone who has suffered from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities for most of my adult life, I can’t look at that photo and wonder when his immune system is going to say “ENOUGH!”
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: USA Today actually fact checked this Babylon Bee piece. Among the 14 resources they consulted in their in-depth debunking of this piece was the 9th circuit court’s website.
Incredibly, the USA Today piece acknowledges right up front that the source of the claim is a satirical article published on a known satire site.
MUELLER’S TEAM: Their goal was “Get Trump” – FBI Agent William Barnett played a lead role in the agency’s investigation into Michael Flynn. He was interviewed by DOJ prosecutors earlier this month.
Barnett told the Justice Department there was never any evidence of wrongdoing by the retired general or of Russian collusion by President Trump. He said the Mueller probe was kept open because the goal was not national security or justice, but hurting the Trump administration.
RATIO: Getting “ratioed” is tweet-speak for a tweet that is so ridiculous that it got lots of comments but very few hearts.
“Journalist” Christine Grimaldi won the trifecta of ratios with her nasty, three tweet screed. Favorite tweet comments: “whackadoodles gonna whackadoodle” and “get help.”
Re: Grimaldi’s snarky remark about Barrett’s “whopping three years” – The Obama-nominated Justice Elena Kagan served a whopping zero years as a judge. In 1999, she was nominated by President Clinton to fill a seat on the D.C. Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals, but the Senate Judiciary Committee declined to hold a hearing, which effectively ended her nomination.
SCOTUS: File this under stupid talking points – Barb McQuade (NBC/MSNBC legal analyst and University of Michigan law professor) tweeted the above, which was echoed by another U-Mich law professor.
The only problem is … she’s wrong. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito were both nominated by President G.W. Bush in 2005, which was the first year of his second term. He had won the (meaningless) popular vote the previous November.
UKRAINE: In March 2016, then-VP Joe Biden forced the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden’s employer, Burisma Holdings, to step down.
Newly disclosed documents reveal that VP Joe’s actions came on the heels of intense pressure from Hunter and representatives of Burisma Holdings to convince the Obama administration to use its considerable influence to halt the Ukrainian prosecutor’s investigation into the corrupt firm.
WORD NERD: Despite its pronunciation, just deserts is the proper spelling for the phrase meaning the punishment that one deserves. You can remember this two ways.
The deserts that is spelled like arid land, but is pronounced like an after dinner treat comes from the same root as deserves.
It is being denied, not receiving an after dinner treat that is a punishment.
GRAMMY NOTES: Buzz is doing awesome work with his home keys, keeping his fingers in place to type and (mostly) not looking at his hands!
“The rule in debate is that if your only argument is to call your opponent a Nazi, you have no argument at all. Instead of engaging in a debate on policy, Joe Biden has descended to name-calling and Holocaust references.
“There is no place in political discourse for Holocaust imagery or comparing candidates to Nazis. It’s offensive and it demeans the memory of the Holocaust, the suffering of the victims, and the lessons we must learn from that terribly dark chapter of history. Joe Biden has been in politics long enough to know this. To diminish the horrors of Goebbels and the Nazis by trying to attack the president with that comparison is, as we say, a shanda.*
“We call on Joe Biden to retract and apologize for that egregious comment.”
*Shanda (pronounced SHAWN-deh) is Yiddish for something scandalously shameful.
ABORTION: [3:32] – The Pro-Life Reply to “Abortion in cases of rape.”
BABYLON BEE: “In a move to prevent Californians from fleeing by the millions, Gavin Newsom announced a ban on gasoline automobiles this week. The law will make it so that Californians can’t drive away and escape the state in a matter of hours, forcing them to instead form migrant caravans and make the treacherous trek across the blistering deserts of the Southwest.”
In all seriousness, given the state’s inability to produce enough electricity for its current needs, the above is the only sensible conclusion one can come to for Newsom’s determination to increase demand by mandating electric cars.
CATHOLIC: LifeSite presented Father Altman with a copy of the petition asking his bishop to support rather than bring canonical penalties against him. More than 71,000 people signed it. Father Altman was “stunned and overwhelmed by the voice of solidarity amongst faithful Catholics around the world
“There are no words to express the joy of receiving and reading page after page of signers to the Petition. Let us continue to keep the Faith, no matter what challenges may come from those who actively seek to undermine our Faith. We know the Truth is unchanged and unchangeable, and it remains the Truth even when people do not like to hear it.
“I cannot thank LifeSite and all the signers enough for letting me know I am not alone. God bless you all, and fill you with Grace to fight the good fight, all for the glory of God.”
CHINA: A textbook published by the ChiComs for use by a government-run vocational school includes this in a section on ethics and law:
“The crowd wanted to stone the woman to death as per their law. But Jesus said, ‘Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone.’ Hearing this, they slipped away one by one. When the crowd disappeared, Jesus stoned the sinner to death saying, ‘I too am a sinner. But if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.’”
CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD: New Age heresy – The first in what is now a nine book series came out in the mid-90s. The author, Neal Donald Walsch, claims to be a “channel” for God’s true messages to the modern world. If he was literally hearing a voice, it was not from any HOLY spirit, that’s for sure!
Chief among the false teachings seems to be that there is no such thing as right or wrong. Satan wants everyone to believe this, because without sin, there is no need for the cross of Jesus. And without the cross, Satan owns your soul.
COVID-19: Researchers at Wayne State University say viral loads from patients are continuing to decrease as the pandemic progresses and as the death rate drops.
MINNESOTA: Minneapolis [16:42] – Thank God for genuine journalists like James O’Keefe and brave folks like Omar Jamal who brave the vicious Left to get the truth out.
Liban Mohamed (the guy exposed in this video) actually bragged on-line about how many ballots he had harvested on behalf of the Somali candidate who was paying him. He also committed voter fraud on behalf of Ilhan Omar.
These crooked Democrat politicians hire workers to collect empty ballots. They pay people to fill out their ballots. And they’re bringing people in from outside to vote under false addresses.
“If American people don’t pay attention to what’s happening, the country will collapse.”
GRAMMY NOTES: I’ve had a lot of blood tests done in the past four years, but this week, for the first time ever, she wanted a photo ID. So now I need a photo ID to get a blood test … but my deep blue state still does NOT require one to vote!
