Bits & Bytes

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.

RACISM: Even as Black support for Trump increases way beyond anything ever seen before, Democrats continue to take the Black vote for granted.

CLICK [2:19] to hear TV’s dumbest lawyer Sunny Hostin call Black conservatives at the GOP convention “people props.”

She actually brags about Biden having 83% support in the Black demographic. But Trump only got 8% of the Black vote in 2016.

Do the math, Sunny. That means Trump has doubled his support among the “people props.”

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.”

Be Not Afraid

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.

“Yes, it is that serious.”

Wow! A personal 9/11 message from God!

9/11: Never forget – “Saw a pretty amazing thing tonight at the gym. This firefighter was on the stair climber in full equipment, including his mask and oxygen tank. After about a half hour, I saw him finishing and taking his gear off so I went over to tell him how much I respected what he was doing. I figured he was training for a firefighter exam, but when I commented on it, he exclaimed, “110 floors! Took me 30 minutes, 10 seconds.” 110 floors… OMG. It’s September 11 and he had just climbed the equivalent of 110 floors like the firefighters did in the World Trade Center. Apparently, this is a tradition that many firefighters do to honor the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty that day. It’s a helluva tribute!” (From Facebook)

DUBYA: [4:29] – An incredibly special and meaningful moment for those of us who lived through 9/11.

ABORTION: A pro-life group has obtained detailed logs from human tissue harvesters that graphically demonstrate what a Big Lie the “clump of cells” dodge is.

Examples of tissue identified and harvested for researchers from the remains of first trimester, aborted fetuses include: head, eyes, hands, legs, ribs, kidneys, hearts, lungs, and brain.

ALABAMA: Abortionist suspended – The Alabama State Board of Medical Examiners has suspended abortionist Leah Torres because she gave untrue or misleading answers on her application to practice medicine in Alabama.

  1. When asked if her “staff privileges at a hospital or health care facility had been revoked, suspended, curtailed, limited, or placed under conditions restricting your practice,” she said no. Lie.
  2. When asked if she had any medical malpractice claims, she said no. Lie.
  3. When asked if she had any history of mental health conditions, she said no. Lie.
  4. Torres also claimed to have worked as “a locum tenens physician between June 2018 and February 2019” when the Board found that she was actually unemployed.

The Board also accused Torres of committing unprofessional conduct, a charge that is also grounds for license denial.

BIDEN: Answer the damn question! – CLICK [:50] to hear Biden’s national press secretary, J.T. Ducklo, refuse to admit what has been painfully obvious to everyone who is paying attention. (Dontcha just love the irony of his last name?! Duck Low, dodge the question LOL)

CLICK [1:26] to see a montage of evidence that Joe can’t function even with a teleprompter.

CALIFORNIA: Los Angeles – A recording has hit the internet revealing the grossly political nature of California’s COVID rules.

In it, Los Angeles Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer says, “We don’t realistically anticipate that we would be moving either to Tier 2 [of California’s reopening plan] or to reopening K-12 schools at least … until after the election.”

IOW, keeping the state locked down has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with preventing the Trump Economy from restarting in the No-Longer-Golden State as it has elsewhere.

CHINA: This 41 minute documentary tells the story of Joe and Hunter Biden’s questionable dealings with the ChiComs.

COVID-19: Big Pharma has no liability for vaccine injuries [8:15] – “I work in rural America, and I’ve seen three cases in eight months. And one of them was a false positive. You’re going to tell me everybody ought to be vaccinated over a virus that seems to be harming a very, very small proportion of Americans, most of whom were already extremely old or malnourished or extremely sick? That doesn’t hold water.”

DIVIDED AMERICA: [1:40] – Former NFL star Benjamin Watson co-produced and partially funded this film with his wife Kirsten. The movie will become available at SalemNOW on Sept. 17.

Watson says he wants “to unveil the truth about abortion, the laws, the history and where our country is headed. I believe in the sanctity of life, be it in the womb or on your deathbed. That’s my conviction. But with the film, I’ll engage those who disagree and hear their reasoning. The No. 1 thing I’m looking for is empathy on both sides.”

MEDAL OF HONOR: On Friday, President Trump presented the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award of valor, to Sgt. Maj. Thomas Payne, recognizing his conspicuous gallantry and selflessness in rescuing 75 hostages from execution by the Islamic State terror group.

MUELLER TEAM: Destruction of evidence – Newly released DOJ records show that multiple top members of Mueller’s investigative team claimed to have “accidentally” destroyed the memories on at least 15 of the phones used during the anti-Trump investigation.

By “accidentally” they mean that they first locked the phones into airplane mode, so they can never be turned on remotely. Then they inputted the wrong passwords again and again and again and again, until the permanent lock-out function engaged.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE: Two nominations (so far) – A member of the Norwegian Parliament has nominated President Trump for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

A member of the Swedish Parliament has nominated the Trump administration and the two European nations for their “joint work for peace and economic development, through the cooperation agreement signed in the White House.”

The winner of the prize for 2021 will not be announced until October of next year. Since the committee gave Barack Obama the prize in 2009 for not being George Bush, I’d put Trump’s chances at slim to none. I’m guessing he doesn’t care, because his work speaks for itself.

OPERATION LEGEND: Chicago – The joint federal and local effort has resulted in 500 arrests and 124 federal charges in the Windy City.

The murder rate has declined 50%.

OREGON: A recent poll shows that Oregon voters are Not Happy.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: On Tuesday, Trump’s Justice Department filed a brief at the Indiana Supreme Court, defending the Constitutional right of an Indianapolis Catholic high school to uphold moral standards. The action supports the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, which is being sued by a teacher whose contract was terminated because of his public, same-sex marriage.

On Wednesday, the Education Department issued final rules to protect religious freedom in higher education. In addition to enforcing free speech and the rights of religious groups at public universities, the rule clarifies that a college with a clear religious mission is exempt from Title IX regulations, which is especially important to Catholic schools and colleges confronted by discrimination lawsuits because of the Catholic understanding of sexuality and marriage.

RHODE ISLAND: The University of Rhode Island recently announced plans to remove two 70-year-old murals depicting the events of World War II, because they accurately portray the participants in the events as having been predominantly White Males.

The issue came under the university’s eagle eyes after students complained that they don’t “feel comfortable sitting in that space” because the murals lacked “diversity.” Get that? URI is going to destroy a venerable piece of its own history to satisfy the snowflaky, fragile egos of people who are supposedly adults.

WALK AWAY: Today’s excerpt is one of my favorites to date – “When I was a ‘progressive,’ I was a snobby douche. I looked down on those dirty, illiterate flyover state types. I scoffed at those fat, NASCAR watching rednecks. I mocked people for their silly faith in things like God, family. sacrifice, hard work and perseverance. I thought anyone who flew the flag on their porch was a rube.

“What I was really consumed with that whole time, was my own self image.

“My need to feel better than you.

“I had nothing of substance to offer, and secretly, I knew it. To compensate for that lack – that emptiness – I put on a shiny badge of unearned moral and intellectual superiority before I left my house every morning.

“Eventually, that badge tarnished.

“One day I looked at myself in the mirror and these words popped into my head: ‘Nah dude, it’s YOU who’s wrong.’”

WOKE: Employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend “training” sessions where they are told that “virtually all White people contribute to racism” or where they are required to say that they “benefit from racism.“

On Friday, President Trump directed agency heads to “cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Just sayin’. 🙂

BIDEN: He looks awful – CLICK [:20] to see Biden request the teleprompter be moved closer so he can read the answer to a canned question. It’s hard to believe he’s really going to show up at any of the scheduled debates.

CCC: Conservative Clergy of Color [3:10] – Four Four black pastors have formed a coalition to vigorously push back against the false and destructive narratives of the Black Lives Matter movement. Their message is resonating nationwide. The group now has more than 500 members.

“The great irony here is that yes, there’s plenty of systemic racism in our country; it’s all wrapped up in the history of the Democratic Party.” – Aubrey Shines of Tampa, Washington Times Op Ed

COVID: More political lies – A group of alleged scientists claimed the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was a “super spreader” event that infected 260,000 people and “generated public health costs of approximately $12.2 billion.”

Apparently, the so-called “study” was so bogus that no reputable journal would touch it, so it was posted at the website of an obscure, left-wing think tank, from whence the Trump-hating media hailed it as proof positive of something or other.

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has actually been linked with 364 new cases in 12 states. One person died.

Hey, intrepid investigative reporters … can we see the coronavirus infection stats for all the riots that have occurred over the past 100+ days in cities across the country? No? Oh golly. Why ever not …

DISNEY: More than a year after Disney’s CEO threatened to boycott the state of Georgia for passing a pro-life “heartbeat” bill, the company filmed a live-action remake of its 1998 animated film, Mulan.

Parts of the movie were filmed in China’s mountainous northwest Xinjiang province – the site of Beijing’s widespread human rights abuses against the Uighur people and other Muslim minorities – and the film’s credits thank eight agencies of China’s communist regime.

FIRST RESPONDERS: On August 26, a guy on a bicycle punched a 60-year-old woman in the face and knocked her down.

Seconds later, four firefighters emerged from the fire station and chased the thug down, pulled him off his bike, and subdued him until the police could arrest him.

One of the firefighters also got a punch in the face. The woman had a cut mouth, but declined medical attention.

The thug, Daniel Biggs (53), didn’t even know his victim. According to the NYPD, Biggs has 18 prior arrests, including for assault and robbery.

HAIRPOCRISY: CLICK [4:18] to hear Tucker revisit Pelosi’s blow out. “Because you told the truth about a politician violating her own rules, you have to go out of business.” “I’m actually afraid to go back.”

HOLOCAUST: This is what happens when hatred is cultivated and thugs gain control of a nation – Czeslawa Kwoka (14) was one of about 230,000 minors who were executed in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The photographer later testified, “She was so young and so terrified. The girl didn’t understand why she was there and she couldn’t understand what was being said to her.

“So this woman Kapo (a prisoner overseer) took a stick and beat her about the face. This German woman was just taking out her anger on the girl. Such a beautiful young girl, so innocent. She cried but she could do nothing.

“Before the photograph was taken, the girl dried her tears and the blood from the cut on her lip. To tell you the truth, I felt as if I was being hit myself but I couldn’t interfere. It would have been fatal for me. You could never say anything.”

ILLINOIS: Chicago – This is 8 year old Dajore Wilson. She was shot in the back and killed Monday night in Chicago.

BLM is silent. Because black lives don’t actually matter to them.

MILITARY: President Trump’s oft-demonstrated love of U.S. troops was called into question just weeks before a presidential election by four anonymous cowards, and a publicity-hungry editor. Why would anyone believe this?

CLICK [2:30] to hear what Trump has actually said about our military.

NAVY: Masses will continue – Recently, news broke that the Navy was trying to save a few bucks by firing non-military priests who celebrate Mass on Navy bases where no military priest is stationed.

President Trump said it was never going to happen. And Rear Adm. Bette Bolivar confirmed that the Navy “will continue contracted religious ministry programs and services similar to what we’ve had in place previously.”

Do you remember what it was like for Christians in the military under Obama? If not, I’ve provided some links below to refresh your memories.

NEW YORK: Manhattan – On Friday, Sept 4, 2020, 150 “mostly peaceful protesters” caused $100,000 in property damage on behalf of Black Lives Matter. They smashed windows, graffitied storefronts, and set fires.

Smoke grenades and two stun guns were recovered from the thug-rioters. Eight people were arrested and charged with felony rioting; some were additionally charged with weapons and burglary tool possession and misdemeanor graffiti.

The NYPD released the mug shots (above) of seven of the eight, all of them pasty-white, yacht-club-privileged brats.

The New York Post Editorial Board allowed as how “They and their ‘comrades’ who’ve kept the tragic farce going all these weeks in Portland, might as well be the Antifa Committee To Re-Elect the President.”

PROFESSIONAL SPORTS: Get woke, go broke – In the latest Gallup survey of how favorably Americans view 25 major industries, professional sports suffered the biggest drop in support. The 30% to 40% drop occurred across all demographics – gender, race, age, and politics.

Gallup does this poll annually, just asking those surveyed to give their general impression about the industries. Pollsters did not ask anything about protests or activism by pro athletes.

RAGE: Bob Woodward’s new book claims to be based on over a dozen taped interviews with the president. Among other things, it says Trump admitted to him that he had intentionally mislead the public in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Fauci says it never happened. CLICK [1:51] to hear Fox News’ John Roberts interview Dr. Fauci.

Later in the interview, Fauci also denies that he ever said some of the things Woodward attributes to him in the book.

Woodward is a real slug. In his Big Book of Lies, he claimed that President Trump told him that he doesn’t feel a responsibility “at all” to try to have a better understanding of the pain Black Americans feel. Here is what actually transpired.

“Do you have any sense that that privilege has isolated and put you in a cave to a certain extent as it put me and I think lots of white privileged people in a cave and that we have to work our way out of it to understand the anger and the pain particularly Black people feel in this country. Do you,” Woodward started to ask before Trump cut him off.

“No. You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn’t you? Just listen to you. Wow. No, I don’t feel that at all,” the president responded.

SHY VOTERS: I previously reported on a study that found 9% of likely voters were reluctant to say who they were planning to vote for and that the breakdown was 3% Biden voters vs. 6% Trump voters.

This netted a potential 3% hidden poll bump for Trump over Biden. But Rasmussen found this hidden poll bump to be much larger.

Rasmussen asked, “How likely are you to let others know how you intend to vote?” during their regular Presidential Approval polling. Then they broke down the shy voters in two ways. One data set dropped out the middle (approve, disapprove) and compared shy voters among the Strongly Approve and Strongly Disapprove respondents. The other data set compared shy voters by party affiliation.

Strongly Approve (17%) vs. Strongly Disapprove (8%) netted a whopping 9% presumptive bump for Trump, while Republican (16%) vs. Democrat (12%) netted a much more modest 4% bump.

However, the high numbers of Democrats joining Walk Away and BLEXIT, plus the much higher numbers of Blacks and Hispanics claiming they plan to vote for Trump suggests a lot of Democrats are defecting and are actually even more unlikely than Republicans to tell others they’re voting for Trump.

Point being … Biden vs. Trump polls inaccurately favor Biden by at least 3% and maybe by as much as 9%.

WALK AWAY: Civil Rights attorney Leo Terrell was a prominent Democrat who now supports Donald Trump. He cites two major reasons. “One, Joe Biden made the assumption that if you’re not black, that if you’re black you have to vote Democrat. I find that insulting and offensive to every African American because we don’t vote as one group. Secondly, defunding the police is absolutely ridiculous. Ninety-eight percent of all police officers are good. Get rid of two percent but not the entire police force.“

GRAMMY NOTES: Please pray for Dearest. He saw his cardiologist this week. His wonky valve is kaput. We’re looking at heart surgery as soon as possible. Dunno yet if it can be done with the “minimally invasive” method or if they’re going to have to crack his chest.

Bits & Bytes

2A: Gun sales have been breaking historical records – During the past three months, nearly 12% of Democrats and almost 19% of Republicans bought a gun.

The trend was particularly strong in the 18–29 age group (more than 22%), black people (21%), union members (nearly 32%), urbanites (more than 19%), and those earning more than $200,000 (19%).

AUSTRALIA: On Tuesday, the legislature of the Australian state of Queensland passed a law requiring priests to violate the seal of confession to report known or suspected child sex abuse. Failure to do so will be punished with three years in prison.

Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory have also adopted laws forcing priests to violate the confessional seal, while New South Wales and Western Australia have upheld it.

The seal of confession is sacred. Period. Violating it is a mortal sin which incurs the penalty of “automatic excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See.”

A mortal sin constitutes a rejection of salvation and can lead to damnation if a person does not repent before death.

“Automatic excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See” means absolution cannot be granted except by the Pope, the bishop of the place, or priests authorized by them.

IOW, three years in prison is peanuts.

By Canon Law, a priest may not reveal the contents of a confession either directly, by repeating the substance of what has been said, or indirectly, by some sign, suggestion, or action. A priest may not break the seal to save his own life, to protect his good name, to refute a false accusation, to save the life of another, to aid the course of justice (like reporting a crime), or to avert a public calamity.

If a priest needs guidance from a more experienced confessor to deal with a difficult case of conscience, he first must ask the permission of the penitent to discuss the matter. Even in this case, the priest must keep the identity of the person secret.

Even if the penitent himself wishes to discuss the content of a confession later, outside the confessional, the penitent must give the priest formal permission to do so.

BLACK LIVES (DON’T) MATTER: That sign had it right to begin with. While abortion harms families of every race and culture, it disproportionately harms the Black community.

Less than 13% of the U.S. population self-identifies as Black or African-American, yet their women have 36% of the abortions.

In New York City, more Black babies are aborted than are born alive annually.

CALIFORNIA: Hollywood makes the Oscars even more “woke” and even less meaningful – In order for any film to be nominated for Best Picture in the year 2024, at least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors will have to be from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.

DEATH OF A NATION: We watched Dinesh D’Souza’s Death of a Nation the other night. He talks about how the Chicago mobs figured out they could commit crimes legally if they just took over the government.

Barack and Michelle Obama were an integral part of the Chicago government mob. Their grotesque abuses of power while in the White House came as no surprise to anyone who was paying attention.

DEBATES: 2020 – They’re on.

DEFUND THE POLICE: This is worth watching! – CLICK [7:47] to hear Ben Shapiro interview Brandon Tatum, a Black man and former police officer, SWAT officer and instructor, talking about the Left’s claim that police are systemically racist. “They used the amount of force necessary.”

ENVIRONMENT: On Tuesday, President Trump extended the moratorium on offshore drilling near the coasts of Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia.

He said his goal has been to safeguard the environment without sacrificing the economy. The left’s agenda isn’t about protecting the environment, it’s about punishing America. Instead of focusing on radical ideology, my administration is focusing on delivering real results, and that’s what we have.”

Other Trump initiatives include $100 million to fight toxic algae to safeguard coastal areas; more than $500 million to fix the Herbert Hoover Dike around the waters of Florida’s Lake Okeechobee; and increasing funding for Everglades restoration by 55%.

FLORIDA: 2020 – A recent NBC Poll shows the presidential ticket tied at Biden (48%) vs. Trump (48%).

Trump leads by four among Latino voters – Biden (46%) Trump (52%). In 2016, he lost the Latino vote bigly – Clinton (62%) vs. Trump (35%).

Biden leads by one among Senior voters – Biden (49%) vs. Trump (48%). In 2016, Trump won the Senior vote bigly – Clinton (40%) vs. Trump (57%).

GEORGIA: Voter fraud – As many as 1,000 people voted twice in the state’s primary, casting absentee ballots, then voting in person on Election Day.

“Every double voter will be investigated thoroughly. A double voter knows exactly what they’re doing, diluting the votes of each and every voter that follows the law,” Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said. “Those that make the choice to game the system are breaking the law. And as secretary of state, I will not tolerate it. No one gets to vote twice. Everyone gets one vote.”

The fraud was not noticed in time to affect the totals. It is not clear if the cheaters impacted any of the races. Voter fraud is a felony.

GUN CONTROL: The people who want to take guns away from law-abiding citizens are the same people who want to defund police – CLICK [3:30] to hear a Black gun enthusiast school a highly emotional teacher with actual gun facts.

IRAQ: The United States plans to withdraw 2,200 of 5,200 troops from Iraq before the end of September.

“We are continuing to expand on our partner capacity programs that enable Iraqi forces and allow us to reduce our footprint in Iraq,” said Marine General Frank McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command.

“We kept America out of new wars and we are bringing our troops back home. We are bringing them back home from these faraway places,” said President Trump.

NEW YORK: Rochester – Following the latest protest/riots, five of the top cops in Rochester announced they were retiring.

Police Chief La’Ron Singletary said, “For the past two decades, I have served this community with honor, pride, and the highest integrity,” but that he won’t “sit idly” while outside forces try “to destroy my character.”

OPERATION LEGEND: On Wednesday, Attorney General William Barr said the federal initiative to drive down violent crime in major inner cities is working.

Since its launch, the crime-fighting program has led to over 2,500 arrests that led to 592 individuals being charged with federal crimes.

Federal authorities have also seized 1,024 firearms, 241 weapons, more than 17 kilograms of heroin, more than 75 kilograms of methamphetamine, more than 7 kilograms of fentanyl, more than 12 kilograms of cocaine, and about $5.19 million in drug proceeds.

OREGON: Portland – Portland PD has been frustrated by the revolving door that is the Democrat District Attorney’s office. They arrest rioters; the DA declines to prosecute and they go back out to riot some more.

The feds are stepping in. Between this week and last week, eight people have been charged with federal crimes in connection with rioting in Portland.

SERBIA-KOSOVO: In 2008, Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia, a move which Serbia refused to recognize.

On September 4, 2020, the two nations signed a deal, brokered by President Trump, in which they agreed to normalize economic relations between their peoples and their governments.

The agreement reflects President Trump’s belief that trust is built by creating opportunities and futures for young people, rather than by focusing on settling old scores.

During the coming year, the U.S. will be assisting the two nations in implementing the terms of the agreement.

SPIRITUALITY OF BLACK LIVES MATTER: [6:35] – Yes, demon worshipers ARE spiritual people. They pray. They worship. They make offerings.

TRUMP TROLL: He’s the master LOL – Demcorat-run states put severe limits on the number of people allowed to gather for church or Trump rallies, while actually encouraging protesting.

TRUMP ECONOMY: “We’re currently witnessing the fastest labor market recovery from an economic crisis in history—world history,” President Trump said at a Labor Day press conference.

Business confidence and retail sales are up and even setting records. In August, we added nearly 1.4 million jobs, bringing the total to 10.6 million jobs created since May, about 50% of all jobs lost during the pandemic.

WALKAWAY: Today’s excerpt – “I didn’t like how Gavin Newsom was handling things here in California so I started attending Recall Newsom protests and found myself surrounded by Trump supporters that seemed to share a lot of the same values and ideologies as me. I realized the media was SO wrong, Trump supporters weren’t some racist, obnoxious a**holes like they portrayed them to be. They were among some of the best people I’ve ever met. They were super inclusive, kind and loving. I realized I was being lied to by mainstream media.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Dearest built a retaining wall and planting area this summer. It looks SO CLASSY … especially compared to what was there before!

BIDEN: “Why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes? A Black man invented the light bulb, not a White guy named Edison. … We’ve got to give people facts.” – Joe Biden, Sept 3, 2020

Okay, Joe, here are the facts: “A White guy named Edison” invented the first commercially successful, incandescent light bulb in 1879. A year later, Lewis Latimer, a Black inventor who worked with Edison, patented a filament that worked better than the one Edison had invented the year before.

CALIFORNIA: San Francisco – Gym owners in San Francisco are furious that, while they have not been allowed to reopen, gyms in government buildings have been open for months.

NEW YORK: Rochester – Jribs was a locally-owned corner store that offered a variety of products and services, including UHaul rentals.

PENNSYLVANIA: Pittsburgh – A parade of BLM demonstrators marched down Pittsburgh’s streets on Saturday, carrying an “Abolish Police” banner and screaming “F*** the white people that built the system” and “No justice. No Peace.”

Some of the demonstrators detoured into an outdoor dining area along the parade path, shouting obscenities at diners and ordering them to get out while drinking their beverages*, smashing dishes, and overturning the restaurant’s furniture. (There is a video embedded at The Blaze, but I can’t get it to embed here.)

*Re: That t-shirt … keep in mind that the Left defines all Trump supporters as Nazis.

TAXES: “They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, ‘You work and toil and earn bread, and I’ll eat it.’ No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.” – Abraham Lincoln, October 15, 1858 Debate at Alton

TEXAS: 2020 – A new Dallas Morning News-University of Texas-Tyler poll has Trump leading by two in the Lone Star State (48% to 46%). In early July, Biden was ahead by 5.

WALKAWAY: Today’s excerpt – “Because of the hateful way politics were discussed in my family, I shied away from getting involved in watching anything political on TV. It was too stressful for me. I voted for Trump in 2016 but NEVER watched him on TV. Why? Because I would see the snippets and headlines on the mainstream media and thought he was a loose cannon. Then came Covid. I started watching his town hall meetings…the first one I watched I was on the edge of the couch ready to run out of the room because I just knew..any minute it was all going to go sideways. The whole time I was watching him I thought, wow he is intelligent…he has a sense of humor…he makes sense…what the hell am I missing? Well….the epiphany for me was when I saw the clips the mainstream media would show the following day. Completely taken out of context to fit their narrative! OMG! It was a Running Man moment for me. If you have watched that movie you will remember that the whole thing started with an edited version of the truth. Mind blowing and eye opening.”

GRAMMY NOTES: As I’ve mentioned a number of times, our Lil Buzz is autistic. He’s highly intelligent, but has a very, very difficult time speaking. This is one of the tools they use to help him. Mama says, “If I can verbalize for him what he’s feeling, he always feels better.”

The Coming Coup

The following is adapted from “The Coming Coup?” by Michael Anton at American Mind. The links below are to the full article, which you’re encouraged to read cuz I left out a bunch of stuff in the interests of brevity. Below that link are links to the articles Anton included.

Democrats and their ruling class masters are openly talking about staging a coup if Trump wins in November.

It started with the military brass, many former generals, and even Trump’s own SecDef indicating that the military would defy any attempt by him to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell the riots.

Hillary Clinton has declared publicly that Joe Biden should not concede the election “under any circumstances.”

Joe Biden and Al Gore have both said publicly that, if Trump should refuse to leave the White House, the military will “escort him from the White House with great dispatch.”

Two former Army officers wrote an open letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs claiming Trump is “threatening to remain in office in defiance of our Constitution” and urging the military drag Trump out of the White House on January 20, 2021.

Over the summer, George Soros funded a summit of 100 Democratic grandees, anti-Trump former Republicans, and other ruling class apparatchiks who decided that, if Trump wins, Biden should refuse (a) to concede, (b) pressure states Trump won to send Democrats to the formal Electoral College vote to vote for him, and (c) urge the military to intervene if he refuses to leave the White House.

The results of the Soros summit was leaked to The New York Times.

Streams of stories are appearing proposing that, even if it looks like Trump won, Democrats should insist Biden won, because all the mail-in ballots haven’t been counted.

The complicit media is planning to do what they did with every other anti-Trump effort, which is to preach the Democrats’ Big Lie that for as long as possible. In other words, crank the propaganda to ear-drum shattering decibels, fill the streets of every major city with “mostly peaceful protesters” all demanding Trump leave office.

What can we all do?

First, everything we possibly can to ensure Trump wins by such a landslide that the Left simply can’t pull this off.

Second, support alternative social media sites, because once the Democrat ruling class gives word that the narrative is “Trump lost,” all the president’s social media accounts will be suspended and the MSM will refuse to cover anything he says. He’s going to need a way to talk to us.

Third, raise awareness about the likelihood that the Left will not just continue, but actually escalate all the crap they’ve been doing since November 2016.

Fourth and fifth from CtH: These two aren’t in Anton’s article, but I think they’re important. Arm yourself, stock up on ammo, take lessons, practice, and know your local laws so you can defend your homes and businesses from rioters. And stock up on survival stuff like food, solar batteries, water filters, and the like. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Bits & Bytes

ABORTION: The only place in America where “white privilege” actually exists is in the womb.

BLACK LIVES MATTER: Researchers at Princeton University have determined that, between May 24 and Aug 22, only 7% of the demonstrations linked to BLM involved violence.

So, see?! MOSTLY peaceful! Ha!

Of course, those that were not peaceful involved hundreds of people committing enough violence against persons and property to cause millions of dollars in damages.

So there’s that.

CALIFORNIA: The Socialist Paradise has announced yet more rolling blackouts.

CLINTON: CLICK [:20] and watch Slick Willy listen to Shrillary who is STILL ranting about how unfair it was that she lost in 2016.

I was wondering why he hasn’t strangled her in her sleep yet, but then I remembered two things. They haven’t slept together in decades and he still has Secret Service agents parked at his door.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY: This is real – You can see close ups of the image at the first link and what the “social justice warrior” teaching this seminar is all about at the second one.

NEW YORK: Rochester – Black Lives Matter held a “mostly peaceful” protest during which at least two police officers were injured.

CLICK [:49] to see Steve Lysenko, one of the participants, bitching about how the “f***ing police” hit marchers with pepper spray. Lysenko’s Twitter profile says, “Husband. Father. Child. Advocate for Social Justice. Educator. Child of God.” His video went viral, resulting in parents filing multiple complaints with his employers at Spencerport High School, where he is (was?) a teacher and assistant principal. (Spencerport is a suburb of Rochester.)

CLICK [2:20] to see BLMers winning hearts and minds to their cause by invading an outdoor restaurant, chanting “If you don’t give us our sh—, we shut sh— down” at fleeing diners (one guy had a bull horn) and throwing dishes, food, and furniture. Comments on the video: “These are Biden supporters”, “The diners are rushing home to remove their BLM yard signs”, and “Making more Trump voters than they realize.”

NORMALIZING PEDOPHILIA: Pink News is an LGBT news outlet. Apparently, they think allowing adult pervs get their rocks off by watching children bump and grind is a good thing.

NORTH KOREA: Yeonmi Park is one of several hundred North Koreans who have managed to escape to the United States. Now a human rights activist, she says of her former home, “North Korea is … not like other countries like Iran or Cuba. In those countries, you have some kind of understanding that they are abnormal, they are isolated and the people are not safe.

“But North Korea has been so completely purged from the rest of the world, it’s literally a Hermit Kingdom. When I was growing up there, I didn’t know that I was isolated, I didn’t know that I was praying to a dictator.”

Park describes growing up eating insects to survive and blames the ruling Kim family for letting their people starve to death. Both her uncle and grandmother died from malnutrition.

“You’d see so many people just dying. It was something normal for us to see the dead bodies on the street. It was a normal thing for me. I never thought that was something unusual,” she said.

NOT THE BEE: “How is this not satire?” [3:10] – Adam Ford “unpacks” this “unintentionally satirical masterpiece” at the link.

“Everyone involved deserves an Oscar. If we could produce videos like this we’d be bigger than Netflix in a week.”

OREGON: Portland – The mayor of Portland has apologized to his “neighbors” for putting them at risk with his presence. And by “neighbors”, he means only the people who live in my high rise condo.

But everyone in Portland is his neighbor. If he really cared about keeping them safe, he would have stopped the rioting on day one.

TRUMP ECONOMY: “May, June, July and August have been the four biggest months of job creation in the history of the United States. We’ve regained over 10 million jobs in four months ” – Stephen Moore, economist and author of Trumponomics

In other news, leaders of several public and private sector unions are threatening to organize walkouts this fall for teachers, truck drivers and service workers in an effort to protest “police killing Black people, of armed white nationalists killing demonstrators, of millions sick and increasingly desperate.”

Translation: “Despite our best efforts to prolong the COVID lockdowns, the damn Trump economy is bouncing back, which is making us increasingly desperate about November.”

TEXAS: The state may be red, but Austin is blue. And the all-Democrat Austin City Council voted unanimously to cut one-third of the Austin PD’s budget.

Republican Gov. Abbot announced on Thursday that he is considering a legislative proposal that would place the Austin Police Department under the control of the State of Texas.

WALKAWAY: Today’s excerpt (I hope you find these as encouraging as I do!) – I love that we are breaking all stereotypes of red voters as “old white rich men,” “gun-obsessed rednecks” and “fifties-style housewives!” You guys are such a smart, free thinking, diverse and kind crowd!

I’m a Russian immigrant of 13 years, belly dancer, mom, healthy lifestyle advocate, essential oil & crystals lover, and a naturalized USA citizen that was leaning right on economic policies and left on social policies, but never voted before. It was beat into my brain from living in the phony post-socialist Russian “democracy” that our votes don’t matter.

Until Trump got elected! I just KNEW he wasn’t “meant” to win, but he did. Sure he was rough around the edges, everyone thought he was dumb when he spoke in code, and his mannerisms triggered me, but he was a breath of fresh air, and there HAD to be a reason the corrupt establishment and the lying media hated him so passionately. This year has been so eye-opening as to WHY!

And this year, I’ll be casting my first vote in America, for America!

BLACK AMERICA: CLICK [8:30] to hear Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro discuss the problems in Black communities, who needs to solve them, and who needs to butt out.

CALIFORNIA: San Francisco – It’s ironic that the city named after the saint God called to “Rebuild my church” is currently persecuting people of faith for wanting to worship Him.

Fancy Nancy’s All-Democrat-All-The-Time district currently restricts church gatherings to 12 people and only out of doors.

Meanwhile, restaurants may operate at 25% capacity, retail stores may operate at 50% capacity, and the city has encouraged unlimited attendance at organized local street protests. There have already been dozens of these, attended by thousands of unmasked participants, and more are planned.

In July, San Francisco’s City Attorney Dennis Herrera sent a “cease and desist” letter to Catholic Archbishop Cordileone, who wanted parishes to resume public indoor Masses. The letter said that, if the Masses were held, the City would issue a restraining order … allegedly “to protect your parishioners and the broader community.”

On Sunday, September 6th, there was a George Floyd Memorial Sunset Beach Stroll on San Francisco’s prettiest beach. But if more than a dozen people attempted to worship God right there on the beach, alongside those honoring a drug addict as some kind of heroic martyr, they would likely have been arrested.

CANADA: Alberta – When a 12th grade Canadian student refused to wear a face mask, his school called the police. They came, but the student agreed to leave school without a fuss.

His mother made the incident public on her Facebook page. She said her son had told the principal, “You know what? I’m not scared of COVID. I’m healthy. I’m fine. If you are scared of it, you wear a mask. You protect yourself if that is what you feel is right, but I have my right not to wear one.”

The school’s policy requires masks except for those students and staff who are unable to wear a mask due to medical or other needs.

NETFLIX: Pray this abomination is a huge flop. It’s not possible for me to describe just how awful it is without using Garden-Unfriendly language. You can read about it if you have a barf bag handy.

NORMALIZING PEDOPHILIA: This is the Left’s latest disgusting stop on the slippery slope to damnation – CLICK [6:20] to hear how the New York Times Magazine pitied convicted pedophiles because they allegedly had “no victims.”

NOT THE BABYLON BEE: I searched Twitter and found the original of this tweet. This is NOT a photoshop. The burning photo is what Chris Cillizza (CNN Editor-at-large) actually included with that message and it is the photo that illustrates the linked article. Un-freaking-believable.

OREGON: Portland – They were throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails. Where is the money coming from the feed, house, and provide these thugs with equipment and weapons for 100 days?!

PRANKING BIDEN: For a while, @antifa.com redirected to a Joe Biden for President site. Apparently, this was a prank. (I tried repeatedly to load it and got nothing but a spinning dial.)

The real ANTIFA website is @ antifainc.com. IMO, the home page (pictured above) is worse than a redirect to Biden’s campaign!

VIRTUE SIGNALING: Tweeting hashtags isn’t virtuous. It’s lazy and prideful. Jesus said that real virtue is about helping others without letting anybody else know.

WASHINGTON: Seattle – On Friday, September 4, this message appeared in Seattle’s on-line schools. Even first-graders got this top-of-the-line “educational” messages that All White People And All Cops Hate Black People.

WALK AWAY: Trump ad reaches out to frustrated Democrats [3:10] – Excerpt from a recent Walk Away story: “I have had a lot of time on my hands [because of the coronavirus], and have done a lot of research and watched a ton of videos. It angers me that the MSM always twists Donald Trump’s words around and makes him out to be this monster that he obviously isn’t.

“I started to dig into my own research more and more and I realized that the major problem of our world has most always been the Democratic Party. The Democrats are filled with lies, hate, cults, deceitfulness, racism, and many, many more things that I am against. I decided to walkaway for good and to not trust the news, which is highly deceitful and dishonest to our president and all of the good people in our world.

“We need to vote President Donald Trump into office again.”

Gold Star Husband Pushes Back

From Just the News: Retired Army officer Joe Kent, a gold star husband whose wife Shannon Kent was killed in 2019 in Syria, writes in an OpEd that President Trump respects troops and showed it when he visited with Kent as he waited for his wife’s body to arrive at Dover Air Force Base.

“I’m so sorry for your loss. Shannon was an amazing woman and warrior,” Kent quoted the president as saying. “Shannon was the real deal, we are lucky to have people like her willing to go out there and face evil for us,” Trump told him.

The widower said that the president spoke with him and expressed genuine care: “Together, as we waited for the plane that would bring Shannon home, we spent another 20 minutes talking about my wife, our children and what an amazing mother, wife, and soldier she was,” Kent wrote. “It was clear to me that President Trump truly cared — not just that Shannon and three others had been killed in Syria, but about who Shannon and the three others were as people.”

Kent also said that Trump solicited his opinion about the U.S. military’s involvement in Syria.

“Then the president did something that I did not expect: he asked me what I thought about Syria and what we were doing there. He talked to me — a Green Beret and a combat veteran, not some expert at the Pentagon or a think tank — about the wisdom of leaving troops in harm’s way once ISIS’s territorial caliphate had been destroyed. It was clear to me that he was deeply conflicted about whether staying in Syria was worth the lives lost — Shannon and her three colleagues — on that day in January,” Kent wrote.

He said that at a later date he went to an event with the president and spoke to “members of his staff and family about foreign policy and Gold Star family issues, such as the casualty assistance officer program and changing Defense Department regulations in Shannon’s honor.“
