Skeptics Parse NBC News Statement After Employee Accused Of Tailing Rittenhouse Jurors Bus - Skeptics are accusing NBC News of attempting to mislead in a Thursday statement after police alleged an MSNBC freelancer was following the bus of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial jury. Wisconsin circuit court Judge Bruce Schroeder banned MSNBC from his courthouse on Thursday after police caught and cited a man for a traffic violation claiming to be with the network tailing the jury’s sealed bus. The man said he was under orders from a higher-up at the network in New York, according to authorities. NBC News, a sister network to MSNBC, admitted that the man involved in the incident was a freelancer for MSNBC. NBC News denied that the man was tailing the bus, contrary to what he told police, according to authorities. NBC News also claimed that the freelancer never intended to contact jurors “during deliberations.” “Last night, a freelancer received a traffic citation. While the traffic violation took place near the jury van, the freelancer never contacted or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations, and never photographed or intended to photograph them,” NBC News said in a statement. “We regret the incident and will fully cooperate with the authorities on any investigation.” The “during deliberations” phrase of the statement received attention and criticism online as reporters and others suggested that NBC was trying to mislead and cover for sending a freelancer after the Rittenhouse trial jurors. “*During deliberations*,” said Erielle Davidson, a senior policy analyst at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. “Full intent on seeing the jurors and contacting them after deliberations. Given the media’s generally grotesque coverage of this trial, at what point does such behavior amount to intimidation?” Radio host Vince Coglianese remarked, “NBC promises the guy they had following the jury never intended to do anything related to journalism.” “He said he was told to follow them. This statement doesn’t address that,” Tablet Magazine CTO Noam Blum said, referring to the freelancer’s statement to police. NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for clarification from The Daily Wire. Schroeder announced that he had banned MSNBC from the courthouse on Thursday after receiving a report from police. “The matter is under further investigation at this point, and the media has asked questions about it. That’s the latest I have,” Schroeder said. “He was ticketed for violating a traffic control signal. He is not here today, from what I’m told, and I have instructed that no one from MSNBC News will be permitted in this building for the duration of this trial.” The judge added that the matter would be referred to the “proper authorities” for further investigation. “This is a very serious matter, and I don’t know what the ultimate truth of it is, but absolutely it would go without much thinking that someone who is following a jury bus, that’s an extremely serious matter and will be referred to the proper authorities for further action,” he said.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said that President Joe Biden’s vaccine coercion mandates will effectively “destroy our economy” and put thousands of Americans out of work. “We’re about to destroy our economy if Biden follows through with these vaccine mandates,” Massie said on “The Truth with Lisa Boothe” on Thursday. Massie said one of the industries most affected by this mandate is the trucking industry, which is already suffering a supply-chain crisis created by government-mandated lockdowns and exacerbated by the Biden administration’s economic policies. “I just came from a roundtable in my transportation and infrastructure committee. … We had experts from the industry that deals with the supply chain, trucking experts, the people who unload the shipping containers,” Massie said. “And one of the things they keyed in on, is the contractor mandate kicks in on December 8th … and then there’s this OSHA mandate, that’s going to come out. What I learned is that 37 percent of truckers say they will retire, quit or find another job if they are required to get the vaccine as a result of the federal contractor mandate or the OSHA mandate.” Massie said that even if just a fraction of those follow through and are forced out of their jobs, “this would be a supply chain disaster of epic proportions and we will suffer from inflation shortages.” “We’ll go back to where we were 18 months ago, where they were euthanizing animals because they couldn’t get them processed, you know, livestock for food. It will be a dystopian future if Biden follows through, and people will suffer all across the country if he follows through with these mandates, just on truckers, that’s not even talking about all the other people that are being mandated or about to be mandated,” Massie said. Massie also noted that getting the COVID shot doesn’t prevent virus transmission so even mandating it won’t eliminate the risk of workers contracting it. “This vaccine, nobody is any longer claiming, not even the CDC, and especially not the CDC, that this stops people from giving COVID to other people. In fact, there is a study that shows that the vaccinated are giving it to the vaccinated inside of healthcare settings,” he said. “There is no logical imperative for the government to force that on somebody, unless they are your legal guardian. The only person who could make the decision to take a drug or a treatment is the person themselves or their legal guardian. But the situation we’re in, is the government is pretending that they are our legal guardian now, or that they own us like livestock, and that we’re receiving the treatment, not to protect other people, but to protect ourselves. But they’re the ones prescribing it.” Massie said the government now holds the power and “they own us at that point.” “This is why they changed the definition of vaccination in September. They are slowly boiling the frog by changing definitions in order to meet their mandates because their mandate isn’t ethical, moral, constitutional, or even scientific in the context of your performance of this vaccine. So they have to change the definition, the words, and that’s what they’ve been doing. And they may soon change the definition of fully vaccinated to exclude people who had two jabs,” he said. During a House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure subcommittee hearing this week, Massie questioned whether the Biden administration has directed agencies to grant religious exemptions to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. “Have you received any guidance from the Biden administration on how to process these requests, given that the law requires that religious accommodations be made to the vaccine mandate?” Massie asked officials at the General Services Administration.
The annual inflation rate in the US edged up to a 13-year high of 5.4% in September of 2021 from 5.3% in August and above market expectations of 5.3%. Main upward pressure came from cost of shelter (3.2% vs 2.8% in August); food (4.6% vs 3.7%, the highest since December of 2011), namely food at home (4.5% vs 3%); new vehicles (8.7% vs 7.6%); and energy (24.8% vs 25%). On the other hand, prices eased for used cars and trucks (24.4% percent vs 31.9%); transportation services (4.4% vs 4.6%); apparel (3.4% vs 4.2%); and medical care services (0.9% vs 1%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices advanced 0.4%, above forecasts of 0.3%, with the indexes for food and shelter contributing more than half of the monthly increase. The core index which excludes food and energy went up 0.2% month over month and 4% year over year, the same as in August and in line with forecasts. |Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics|
State School Board Groups Blast National Association For Exploiting Political Disputes To Attack Parents OCTOBER 13, 2021 By Jordan Davidson State school boards associations are condemning the National School Boards Association (NSBA) for mischaracterizing protests in their districts and using them to justify the involvement of federal law enforcement and domestic terrorism laws against concerned parents. Just last month, the NSBA sent a letter to President Joe Biden begging him and his administration to prosecute and punish parents who were fed up with the radical indoctrination of their children in schools. Shortly after, the U.S. Justice Department’s Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the FBI and state attorneys to address “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools.” As of Wednesday, at least 14 state school board associations reported to Parents Defending Education that they were not consulted before the letter was sent to the Biden administration. Particular organizations such as the Georgia School Boards Association said the NSBA even cited incidents in their state as justification for federal overreach without asking them for input first. “The Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) was not consulted about this letter, did not provide information to NSBA, and was not informed that the letter was being sent, even though a Georgia school district was used as an example in the letter,” GSBA noted in its statement to Parents Defending Education. “GSBA supports the constitutional authority of local boards to manage and control the public schools of this state. Elected officials and appointed leadership who are closest to the community are best suited to make those decisions, especially the hard ones. … While we look for support to our state and federal governments, we do not seek the involvement of federal law enforcement or other officials in local decisions.” While a handful of the state associations simply said they were unaware of NSBA’s letter until it was published, most state groups condemned the national association’s request to use domestic terrorism laws to target parents and said the protests they’ve experienced have not warranted law enforcement involvement beyond the local and state level. “The DSBA disagrees, in the strongest possible terms, with parents and citizens protesting school board meetings being characterized as ‘domestic terrorists’ and their protests being likened to ‘hate crimes,’” the Delaware School Boards Association said in a statement. “The DSBA firmly asserts that citizen and public engagement in school board meetings is an integral and vital aspect of school board governance. We also made it clear that any attempt to silence citizens’ voices is a clear violation of their rights to free speech. The DSBA is an apolitical advocacy organization, and we do not engage in partisan politics.” A few of the associations even said they support parents’ rights to protest and publicly express frustration with how their children are being taught. “To this end, we provide extensive resources and training to our members, so school boards not only exceed the legal requirements of the Open Meetings Act, but also authentically nurture school communities where parent and community voices are welcomed,” the Texas School Boards Association wrote. “It’s natural that community members across a state as large and diverse as Texas are going to have different opinions on important K-12 issues. We think this diversity of opinion — and the ability to express it openly — makes us strong.”
*CIA Director Burns met with Taliban leader in Kabul: US official* It is the highest-level meeting between the Biden administration and Taliban since the fall of the Afghan capital By Jennifer Griffin , Ronn Blitzer | Fox News CIA Director William Burns secretly met with Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in Kabul on Monday, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Fox News. First reported by the Washington Post, the rendezvous was the highest-level in-person meeting between the Biden administration and the Taliban since the group took control of Afghanistan's capital earlier this month. BIDEN FACES PRESSURE FROM ALLIES ON AFGHANISTAN DEADLINE PRIOR TO G7 MEETING, TALIBAN ISSUES WARNING The meeting took place as the U.S. continued to evacuate Americans still remaining in Afghanistan and Afghan allies who had assisted U.S. forces before their government fell to the Taliban. France, the UK and Germany have all mentioned extending the Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline in order to carry out an orderly exit, the BBC reported. "We are concerned about the deadline set by the United States on August 31," Jean-Yves Le Drian, France’s foreign minister, told the network. "Additional time is needed to complete ongoing operations." "The British position is we want to stay longer if it is possible to do so," U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said, according to The Associated Press. STATE DEPT. DENIES RELYING ON TALIBAN PLEDGE TO ALLOW SAFE PASSAGE FOR EVACUEES: ‘THIS IS NOT ABOUT TRUST’ Wallace, however, told Sky News that he is pessimistic about the U.S. extending their timeline. "I think it is unlikely," he told Sky News. "Not only because of what the Taliban has said but if you look at the public statements of President Biden I think it is unlikely." The Pentagon said in a Monday briefing that it will consider leaving American troops in Afghanistan past Aug. 31, in consultation with Biden and allies, but dismissed the idea of the U.S. military taking back Bagram Airfield to speed up evacuations. Meanwhile, Taliban officials told Reuters that they are unwilling to extend the deadline and the "occupation" by U.S. forces. The group warned about "consequences" if the deadline is extended. The U.S. ramped up its evacuation efforts in recent days, getting roughly 21,600 people out of Afghanistan in a 24-hour period that ended early Tuesday morning. A senior U.S. official is describing it as "an historic operation in scope and scale." According to Gen. Stephen Lyons, who is in charge of U.S. Transportation Command, a C-17 is taking off from Kabul every 48 minutes. Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said the progress has been aided by cooperation from the Taliban. "Thus far, and going forward, it does require constant coordination and deconfliction with the Taliban," Kirby said. "What we’ve seen is, this deconfliction has worked well in terms of allowing access and flow as well as reducing the overall size of the crowds just outside the airport." Fox News' Edmund DeMarche and Cameron Cawthorne, and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Jennifer Griffin currently serves as a national security correspondent for FOX News Channel .

Dr. Anthony Fauci is admitting that the coronavirus could have come from a “lab leak” — as emails released through the FOIA show he was told of “unusual features of the virus” at the beginning of the pandemic — but is blaming criticism of his shifting positions on “people out there” who “resent” him. “There is no doubt that there are people out there who, for one reason or another, resent me for what I did in the last administration, which was not anything that was anti-Trump at all,” Fauci, a top adviser on the coronavirus to President Biden, said on MSNBC’s “Deadline” Wednesday evening. Fauci admitted that he “can’t guarantee everything that is going on in the Wuhan lab” in the wake of criticism after a trove of his emails were published Tuesday. “It was just trying to get the right information, to try and get the right data. What they didn’t seem to understand, I guess that it is understandable that they didn’t understand it, is that science is a dynamic process,” continued Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert.
It's easy to see that the Deep State is in PANIC mode. The Communist bought and paid for mainstream media makes that abundantly clear. Lest we forget that they (the media) protect the Deep State. No matter the depth of evil the Deep State is mired in, the media are all too often willing participants in guarding state secrets and covering up crimes against humanity. The gig is up. God, the military and Trump are in control. Hence the reason for the full blown meltdowns on MSNBC and the like. They have their backs up against a wall and are panicking like never before. Soon and very soon their lies and crimes will be exposed for all to see. The journey toward the light of truth is not for the faint of heart. Ridiculed, smeared and abused (physically and verbally), patriots continue to fight. Under the direction of God from on high, quitting is not an option. It takes great courage to forge ahead amid the myriad attacks perpetrated by those not aligned with truth. The panic is real, which means patriots are over the target. We must not give up. Where we go one we go all! We are in it to win it, and we shall do just that. Keep your heads up. Things are happening. Always remember "God's timing is perfect."
In this episode of the podcast the truth is laid bare for all to see. Unbeknownst to most of the public, a satanic hierarchical structure has been running our world for thousands of years. Satan is of course at the top of this dark structure. Below him are other demons who direct the world's elite like puppet masters. This elite are known as the Illuminati. They are evil Freemasonic political, financial, and religious/spiritual leaders. The American CIA, British MI6, Israeli Mossad, and other nations' intelligence agencies are all subgroups who operate as arms of the Illuminati. They in turn control the mainstream media and entertainment industry. As we all know, Satan is the ultimate liar. He and his secretive international network have deceived and continue to deceive the majority of the world's population. They refuse to embrace veritas, because it is a threat to the concealment of their lies and crimes. People are finally waking up to the elites' rejection of veritas. We can see this Great Awakening going on all around us in the present moment. We are all called to be veritas men and women. This means that it is important we open our eyes to the signs of our times to know veritas and identify those who are liars and deceivers.
Stay faithful to the Lord God your Father. It's Game Over for the Evil Cabal, and they that are left are discovering just that. Have no fear, for the satanic people of this world among us are being totally annihilated. It's time to wake up! The end is near, but if we remain faithful, that end will not be for us. Joe Bidan is not our leader. Do not listen to him. He is an actor. Your refusal to recognize this is only temporary, for all will eventually be revealed to the masses, especially those who do not yet believe. The world is undergoing a transformation unlike any we have seen in human history. The greed and graft of our current financial system is being washed away for the sake of goodness and an equitable standard of living. President Kennedy once warned us of the secret satanic societies of our world. This is exactly why he lost his life. Take heed. Wake up! The darkness will eventually become light. As President Trump told us at his 2021 State of the Union Address at CPAC, it is up to good people to right the wrongs of our society. Voter fraud on November 3rd was real, and the International Satanic Freemasonic Cabal who made it happen are being dealt with via continuing military tribunals. Wake Up! Be optimistic! For this is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad! The corporate structure of evil that has ruled over us and has milked us for our wealth since the time of Sumer is passing away. Steer clear of those who desire bad things. Trust in the Lord your father, His only son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit! Wake Up!
Change is hard. Change is difficult. In a world wrought with evil and wringing of that which is grotesque and sinister, know that this change is different. Forget about your past and your present lives. They will soon be going away to usher in the most dazzling, tantalizing experience ever beholden to mankind. Forget about your worries and your strife. Know that God is exactly who you know him to be. You can trust Him with your whole heart and all of your soul. Your healing begins now. If you seek truth, you have come to the right place. This is the Great Awakening! Nothing at all can stop what is coming. Where we go one we go all. Feel the mercy of God within you as you arise to a new day; as you rise to a new era. The storm is upon us, but it will all be over soon. Welcome God back into your life, for he hath vanquished inequity and evil forever. Eternal bliss abounding in a degree of happiness the likes of which we have never seen is here. the time is NOW! It is yours for the taking. May the blessings of Almighty God be upon you, now and forever. AMEN.
Dennis Montgomery knows everything. He has the power and the wherewithal to bring the whole rotten house of cards down on their heads. The communist mainstream media is working overtime in a desperate and futile attempt to discredit our movement. Ignore them. Their interests are the same interests of Satan himself. There are even patriotic Americans who do believe any of this. Unfortunately, they are unable to absorb the shock of this constitutional disaster that democrats have created. Unable to access tried and true information in our current media blackout, they likely favor a Donald Trump concession. Ignore them. This is the end of the line. How it all ends prior to Inauguration Day will dictate the future of this country for decades to come. This is our fight, and we must take it to the enemy. Dennis Montgomery is Democrats' kryptonite. He is a man of truth. Like puzzle pieces, his story connects perfectly to our present reality. In other words, he predicted all of this, and every time he spoke truth to power, the American communist media trashed him. Montgomery knows what it feels like not to be believed, but he presses on. He does so because he knows exactly what is at stake. He cannot be bullied. He cannot be destroyed. Truth is a powerful thing. There is nothing more genuine on God's green earth than one's ability to be honest in the midst of a barrage of propaganda and lies. Dennis Montgomery is Democrats' kryptonite, because he tells the truth.
For eleven years the Obama Administration used a supercomputer called The Hammer to spy on American citizens. It is this, the most powerful surveillance tool in the history of man, that has caused the extreme political tumult of the past four years. As a government contractor, Dennis Montgomery created the Hammer in 2003. As you can imagine, it quickly became a highly effective tool for the US in its War on Terror. Created and built to protect the American people, it was eventually turned on them for illegal domestic surveillance. In February 2009, the Hammer was commandeered by the Obama Administration for massive domestic surveillance and hacking of American citizens. Not even president yet for a whole two months, Obama had obviously made his administration's theft of the Hammer a priority. With the help of the then FBI Director Robert Mueller, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and CIA Director John Brennan, it was moved to Fort Washington in Maryland.
Today is Tuesday, November 3, 2020, and it is Election Day. You may not know this, but this election is the most consequential election in this nation since 1864. It was in that election that Abraham Lincoln was running for a second term. His victory at the ballot box would guarantee a Union victory in the Civil War. Furthermore, our constitutional republic would now have a future that had seemed at times outside the realm of possibility during so many dark days in recent times. The guarantee of freedom would live on, and the destruction of the bonds of slavery would endure. At present, our beloved nation finds itself at a crossroads just as it did so many years ago in 1864. A vote for America is a vote for Trump. A vote for Marxism is a vote for Biden. Given the massive corruption of the Democrat Party and Joe Biden himself, it is so important that as many Democrats as possible are voted out of office. Unable to muster up the courage necessary to call out those within their own party who are corrupt, quality Democrat leadership in the White House is quite hard to fathom. Given Joe Biden’s mental decline, his fitness for office is somewhat laughable, but so too is his lack of enthusiasm out on the campaign trail. The Trump Campaign and the Biden Campaign are vastly different from one another. They are both a reflection of two different Americas, one that is hopeful and optimistic and another that is dark and dreary. Joe Biden has no solutions for America’s problems. Quite frankly, a Biden presidency would be disastrous for this country. Feeble and old, he is apt to be strong-armed by the Socialists within his own party. They crave power and will stop at nothing to gain it. This is why a vote for Trump is a vote for the preservation of America as we know it.
Joe Biden is thoroughly corrupt and should drop out of the presidential race now. He is unworthy of the Office of President of the United States. Furthermore, the American people all know now more than ever that his pathetic policy agenda would be a disaster for the United States. Biden is completely uninterested in American exceptionalism and would rather sell us all out in the name of greed. This man is a pathological liar and an extremely fake person. Forget what you thought about Joe Biden. He is not who he wants you to think he is; far from it. The things discovered on the laptop from Hell are terrifying. This man and his family are implicated in numerous crimes throughout the information contained on said laptop. Were Joe Biden to be elected President of the United States, he could never be trusted. The former Vice President is likely compromised by multiple foreign nations and has subjected himself to potential blackmail. Throughout this exclusive podcast episode, the grotesque and highly incriminating evidence discovered on the Biden laptop from Hell is on full display. At the center of the content featured within this episode is an incredible interview of Rudy Giuliani conducted by Dan Bongino. Giuliani spills the beans on years of Biden family corruption. From Ukraine to China to Kazakhstan to Russia and Iraq, Hunter Biden plays the role of bag man for his family. In exchange for payments in the millions (sometimes billions) of dollars, access to Joe Biden is granted. In other words, Joe has been for sale for approximately the past thirty years. As a senator from Delaware and then as Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden raked it in. For the right price he was willing to do almost anything. This would typically include throwing America and her self-interests under the bus.
They are who we thought they were. The Democrat Party is going to suffer mightily from the disastrous effects of the news cycle of these past two weeks. Biden, Burisma and Hillary are on millions of Americans' minds. Despite multiple media outlets' refusal to cover these massive stories of corruption, the American people are discovering the truth. This, to me, is evidence of the fact that the Fake News Liberal Media has been rendered illegitimate. In all honesty, President Trump's victory at the ballot box four years ago put their illegitimacy on full display before our entire nation. Rome wasn't built in a day. These media hacks and their fake news networks will not fade overnight, but they will indeed fade. There will come a day when the number of American Truthers will reach a climax. At this max out point, liberal media networks and newspapers will stand at a decision-making precipice. The choice will be between the continuation of reporting lies and a transformation toward reporting the truth. They'll choose the former, and this will back them into a corner. Their self-inflicted damage and harm at that point will be fatal. I call it "media suicide." In death, they'll have no resurrections, second chances or opportunities for redemption. Their only hope at that point will be to exist as salacious tabloids and shows. There is also the chance that they'll cease to exist altogether. The American people will not continue to support a lying media. It's within our DNA to resist encroachments upon our freedom and liberty. We showed this to the rest of the world in the lead up to, during, and after the Revolutionary War. Politicians would be hard pressed to change those characteristics of our political makeup. In that vein, media propaganda is an egregious affront to the liberty of the American people they will not tolerate. Its deception violates every norm we as Americans hold dear. It is a dangerous usurpation of power that sends a message to the American people. That message is that only certain people are worthy of transparency and truth. This elitist mentality is the stuff of power hungry communist and fascist regimes. Moreover, it's the stuff of a cult of personality that marches in lockstep behind its corrupt party leadership and poisonous media sycophants. Our knowledge of the truth is not a privilege. It is a right! Biden, Burisma and Hillary are only the tip of the iceberg for America's most unethical political party ever-- The Democrat Party. There is still so much to learn about all of the attempted presidential coup d'etats that have occurred over the past four years. Moreover, we have Barack Obama's malfeasance, especially when it comes to his administration's use of FBI contractors' access to the National Security Agency's database for illegal domestic espionage. Obama also supervised the creation of an I.R. (intelligence report) that falsely gave the impression that Russia was extremely involved in shaping the outcome of the 2016 Election for President Trump. And finally, we have a political prisoner in Michael Flynn. An innocent man, whose case, the Asshole Judge Emmet Sullivan, is refusing to drop. And why? Because that's how Barack Obama wants it.
Norm Eisen is at the center of a color revolution here in the United States that is slated to reach its apex sometime between Election Day and Inauguration Day or shortly thereafter. Eisen's American Color Revolution aims to strip President Donald Trump of his executive powers and drive him from office. This coup d'etat strategy is designed to take advantage of a chaotic vote count situation propagated by mass mail-in ballots. Simultaneously, frivolous lawsuits from within the Democrat National Committee (DNC) and/or the Biden Campaign shall be numerous and ongoing. The Biden Campaign has more than 600 lawyers at the ready for court proceedings across the country. The combination of chaos within the electoral system as well as lengthy judicial litigation from the Biden Camp serve one purpose. That purpose is to get people mobilized and out in the streets in record numbers. This is what we are currently seeing now and have been seeing since the end of May. Eisen's American Color Revolution was designed to begin in response to some type of societal trigger. In this particular situation, it appears as though that trigger was the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. By day, protesters would march peacefully, but each night brought violence, looting and arson. It didn't take the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security long to identify the organizational networks that were fueling the nightly madness. The biggest culprits are ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter. Both of these groups are self-proclaimed Communists, and it's for this reason that many Americans are questioning the Democrats' seemingly close ties to them.
The democrats are hell bent on making sure President Trump is not inaugurated to a second term. But just how far will they go? Unfortunately, they’re likely to go further than the law allows. Shocker…right? Isn’t that exactly what they did in the lead up to, during and after the 2016 election? Why yes. Yes it is. Just when you think there’s no possible way they could be successful in such a radical undertaking, I give you the past four years. Will those responsible for the illegal Russia Hoax that weaponized the US Intelligence Community against a presidential candidate, his transition and his administration ever pay for their sins? Skepticism abounds due to years of inaction by the FBI and the Department of Justice as a whole. So while Judge Emmett Sullivan plays politics with the liberty of an American hero in Michael Flynn, the likes of Hillary Clinton, James Clapper, John Brennan, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, etc., remain free men and women. As frauds like The Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg dishonestly trash the President, disgraced anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok hocks his new book on the Today Show.
Nolte: America Assaulted for 88 Days, and Joe Biden Said Nothing — He Believes She Had It Coming While America was violently assaulted, Joe Biden remained silent for 88 days because he believes the racist bitch had it coming. by John Nolte, Breitbart News Picked up my concealed carry permit this week. I carry a gun now. Me. Had you told me last year that this year I’d carry a gun, alarm my home, and stash firearms (with more on order) all over the house, I would have laughed in your face. I don’t like guns. Never have. Big believer in the Second Amendment, yessir. Just not a gun guy in the same way I’m not a car guy. Bought a 9MM thirty years ago. Figured that was all I’d ever need. Kept it under the bed. Now there’s a gun and boxes of ammo in most every room. Not gunna tell you which rooms. Let me put it this way: even if my pants are down, you still won’t catch me. What’s happening in our country is no joke. This is not a drill. And yet… It’s not the domestic terrorists in Black Lives Matter and Antifa who worry me. The masked thugs, the marauders, the violent revolutionaries, the gangsters, the assholes with the guillotines… They don’t worry me. Our country’s seen plenty of rioting. Violence in the streets is as old as our republic. In a country of 330 million, things happen. Nothing new about any of that. You can’t wet your pants over human nature. No, what worries is that it took Joe Biden, the leader of one of this great country’s two major political parties, 88 days to condemn the violence. Eighty-eight. In my lifetime, in your lifetime, in the lifetime of anyone alive today, this is unprecedented. It should put a chill up your spine and a gun in every one of your own rooms. Dozens of cities burned. Dozens. Dozens of people died. Dozens. Countless numbers of small businesses burned to the ground. Countless numbers of innocent people assaulted. Countless numbers of police officers attacked. American streets rang with violence and looting and marauding, and… The man who wants to be our president said nothing. Violence raged for 88 days before Joe Biden finally emerged from his Delaware bunker and said it was wrong. That is, without question, the greatest moral failing of my lifetime. Even Neville Chamberlain condemned the invasion of Poland. Biden said nothing. For 88 days, the leader of one of our two major political parties said nothing. This is unprecedented. It doesn’t feel unprecedented because ever since the George Zimmerman Hoax, Democrats and the political media have been slow-boiling the normalization of political violence, have been getting us used to domestic terrorism. After the Zimmerman Hoax, the slow boil moved to the “mostly peaceful” riots in Baltimore and Ferguson. Then came the “mostly peaceful” and — according to CNNLOL — the “right” and “peaceful” and “moral” Antifa. Well, look at us now. Look at Joe Biden now. Sitting in his basement waiting to become president and saying nothing as his country burns. The same people burning our cities tell us silence is complicity… Well, the leader of one of America’s two major political parties said nothing as violence broke out in Los Angeles; Minneapolis; Fayetteville; Atlanta; New York; Nashville; Seattle; Portland; Philadelphia; Chicago; Milwaukee; Salt Lake; Washington, DC; Detroit; Indianapolis; San Francisco; Kansas City; Houston; Charlotte; Cleveland; Pittsburgh; Denver; Dallas; Phoenix; Tampa; Baltimore; Oakland; and Louisville broke out into violence… And now, in a little place called Kenosha. That’s not exactly fair. Biden did say stuff. All kinds of stuff that justified and encouraged the violence. He applauded terrorists as “protesters” and assured them their future president stood with them and against law and order. Even as people of every color and background guilty of nothing more than opening a small business lost everything, Joe Biden sided with, championed, and encouraged those who took that everything.
Our Fixed Income CIO Sonal Desai unveils the first insights from the new Franklin Templeton–Gallup research project on the behavioral response to the COVID-19 pandemic and implications for the recovery: we find a gross misperception of COVID-19 risk, driven by partisanship and misinformation, and a willingness to pay a significant “safety premium” that could affect future inflation. The first round of our Franklin Templeton–Gallup Economics of Recovery Study has already yielded three powerful and surprising insights: Americans still misperceive the risks of death from COVID-19 for different age cohorts—to a shocking extent; The misperception is greater for those who identify as Democrats, and for those who rely more on social media for information; partisanship and misinformation, to misquote Thomas Dolby, are blinding us from science; and We find a sizable “safety premium” that could become a significant driver of inflation as the recovery gets underway. MISPERCEPTIONS OF RISK Six months into this pandemic, Americans still dramatically misunderstand the risk of dying from COVID-19: On average, Americans believe that people aged 55 and older account for just over half of total COVID-19 deaths; the actual figure is 92%. Americans believe that people aged 44 and younger account for about 30% of total deaths; the actual figure is 2.7%. Americans overestimate the risk of death from COVID-19 for people aged 24 and younger by a factor of 50; and they think the risk for people aged 65 and older is half of what it actually is (40% vs 80%). These results are nothing short of stunning. Mortality data have shown from the very beginning that the COVID-19 virus age-discriminates, with deaths overwhelmingly concentrated in people who are older and suffer comorbidities. This is perhaps the only uncontroversial piece of evidence we have about this virus. Nearly all US fatalities have been among people older than 55; and yet a large number of Americans are still convinced that the risk to those younger than 55 is almost the same as to those who are older. SHARE OF COVID-19 DEATHS BY AGE: BELIEFS VS. DATA Estimates of the distribution of COVID-19 deaths reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Sources: US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), as of July 22, 2020; Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Study. Results from this study are based on self-administered web surveys from an opt-in sample provided by Dynata of 10,014 US adults, aged 18 or older.
Opinion: Black people didn't trust Kamala Harris, and they were wise not to | Ricky L. Jones | Courier Journal What happened to Kamala Harris? The once-celebrated presidential candidate recently called it quits, and mainstream pundits struggled to explain why. Some argued Harris never articulated a clear and consistent message distinguishing her from competitors. Others believed she irreparably damaged herself by supporting “Medicare for All” (albeit offering several confusing iterations), which many see as a political non-starter. Some said Harris’ campaign was simply poorly run. Others opined she was the victim of a racially stacked primary deck. Even though Barack Obama surprisingly won Iowa in 2008, Harris struggled to gain support in the small, mostly white state whose African American population is a whopping 3.8%. All that may be true, but it misses the most important part of the story. It was one thing for Harris to receive little to no support from whites in Iowa, but how could the fact that blacks in South Carolina (and beyond) weren’t excited about her either be explained? Indeed, Harris was quick to showcase her racial bona fides early in her candidacy. She is a graduate of Howard University, a legendary historically black school that has yielded American icons from Thurgood Marshall to Toni Morrison to Chadwick Bozeman. She is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a blue blood black sorority with a socio-political network supposedly so extensive that CNN’s Maeve Reston called it Harris’ “secret weapon.” Harris even announced her candidacy on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2019. That and her blindside of Joe Biden on his busing record made it clear she was attempting to lure African American votes by wrapping herself in the cloak of black struggle. It didn’t sell. While some members of the self-involved black bourgeoisie nauseatingly praised her, younger blacks and black progressives were taking deeper, dispassionate dives into Harris’ real-world record. They didn’t like what they found. To the chagrin of her supporters, close examinations of the woman who took pride in the title of California’s “top cop” by writers like Lara Bazelon, C.J. Ciaramella, Sarah Lustbader, Vaidya Gullapalli, Joe Garafoli and others revealed that Harris had been nothing close to the civil rights warrior she claimed to be. In actuality, she had spent much of her professional life prosecuting and persecuting poor people and minorities. Bazelon wrote that Harris “opposed or stayed silent” on multiple aspects of criminal justice reform. She “laughed” when a reporter asked her about decriminalizing marijuana before reversing course years later as public opinion changed. She opposed a bill requiring her office to investigate police shootings. She also opposed statewide police officer body-camera regulations. Her record on police reform was so troubling for many that Garafoli cited former Harris supporter and California activist Phelicia Jones lamenting, “How many more people need to die before she steps in?” Harris didn’t stop there. She even fought for a law that would prosecute parents of “habitually truant” elementary schoolers, “despite concerns that it would disproportionately affect low-income people of color.” When Harris released her memoir, “The Truths We Hold,” Ciaramella reviewed it and wrote, “Kamala Harris’ new book tries to massage her record as a prosecutor, but the facts aren’t pretty.” In the book, Harris claims, “America has a deep and dark history of people using the power of the prosecutor as an instrument of injustice.” She goes on, “I know this history well — of innocent men framed, of charges brought against people without sufficient evidence, of prosecutors hiding information that would exonerate defendants, of the disproportionate application of the law.”
