It should get easier to get the Dem circus back into the clown car

Democrat** Debate Gets Personal As Candidates Go For The Jugular  "The Democratic presidential debate Thursday night quickly turned personal, as candidates took turns hammering each other on their vulnerabilities.
"Joe Biden’s memory, Elizabeth Warren’s expensive plans, and Bernie Sanders’s socialism all turned into political footballs over the course of the debate.
"Andrew Yang’s proposal in his opening statement to give 10 Americans $12,000 each drew laughs from his fellow Democrats. “It’s original, I’ll give you that,” Pete Buttigieg said with a smirk.
"Biden went on the offensive against Warren early on, saying she “has not said how she would pay for [her health care plan].”
"Amy Klobuchar slammed the Medicare for All bill supported by Sanders and Warren, flipping one of Sanders’s go-to lines back on him. Sanders may have written “the damn bill, but I read it,” the Minnesota senator said, noting that their plan would cause Americans to lose their private health insurance.

Here it gets personal for millions of American voters:


Buttigieg also linked Trump supporters to racism, following a question from left-wing Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. “Do you think people who support President Trump and his immigration policies are racist?” Ramos asked. "Anyone who supports this is supporting racism,” Buttigieg said. ...
Truck Circles Dem Debate With Searing Message: ‘Abortion Separates Children From Their Families’ . . . "The Democratic Party hit its most extreme nadir on abortion during the first presidential debate, when former HUD secretary Julian Castro publicly pushed abortion rights for "trans females.' " . . .

Thin the Herd Further, DNC 



"There’s an old joke often expressed well into banquets and conferences, where a speaker says, “We’re at the point where everything that needs to be said has been said, but not everyone has said it.” We’re already at that point with the Democratic primary debates. Tonight was a three-hour ordeal, and candidates largely repeated the arguments they made in the previous two debates. There’s not much reason to expect tonight will generate any dramatic swings in the polling in the coming days or weeks. The conventional wisdom will remain that this is a three-person race, with Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders having far and away the best shots at the nomination." . . .



Trump Anti-Socialism Banner Flies Over Houston Before Dem Debate


Transgenderism conquers science at Canadian Cancer Society

Thomas Lifson
"We live in a moment where the urge to be politically correct has conquered the major institutions of society, driving them to abandon common sense and even science.  Writing at PJ Media, Megan Fox documents the auto-beclowning of the Canadian Cancer Society, which one would normally expect to be a sober, scientifically based organization fighting one of mankind's chief scourges today.  In place of this critical mission, promotion of transgenderism has taken priority.

A new ad campaign to fight cervical cancer is dominated by a transgender person who is a biological male and has no cervix. Look at the absurdity of the ad under the caption "Transwomen and Cervical Cancer Screening."

"Fox skillfully debunks the nonsense:

The site goes onto [sic] claim that the risk of cervical cancer for a person with no cervix is very low. "If you're a trans woman, you may not have given much thought to Pap tests and cervical cancer. And if you haven't, that makes a fair amount of sense. After all, in order to get cervical cancer, you need to have a cervix." But don't be fooled by the seeming clarity of this statement. They go on to talk themselves out of it.
If, however, you're a trans woman who has had bottom surgery to create a vagina (vaginoplasty) and possibly a cervix, there's a very small risk that you can develop cancer in the tissues of your neo-vagina or neo-cervix. The risk depends on the type of surgery you had, the type of tissue used to create your vagina and cervix and your personal health history. Talk to your healthcare provider to figure out your specific cancer-screening needs as part of your overall pelvic health following surgery.
A "neo-cervix" is a fake cervix. It's not a working body part. It's a false representation of a cervix created on an operating table. Calling it a "cervix" or even a "neo-cervix" doesn't make it an actual cervix. And because it is not a cervix, there is no way in hell it can contract cervical cancer. A "cancer" society should know that.

"You really have to read the whole thing to grasp the level of absurdity embraced by this organization.  And, as Fox notes, encouraging people without cervixes to be screened for cervical cancer in a single-payer health system inherently denies medical resources to people who have a genuine need for them.
"I have never seen a national poll on public acceptance of the notions that underlie transgenderism.  My guess is that most people agree with me that it is a fantasy to believe that a male can become a female (or vice versa) by merely thinking or wishing it to be so, but pollsters have been deterred from asking such questions.

"Meanwhile, nonprofits, cultural institutions, advertisers, and the schools have all leaped to embrace this nonsense.  Sometimes I wonder if the ghost of Jonathan Swift is laughing at us."

CNN: The most infamous name in news, endorsed by the California schools

Fake News, Fake Polls – CNN Edition  "It’s been a tough few weeks for CNN. Who knew pushing fake news could be so challenging?

"First, they tried to turn President Trump into a rube for suggesting that Alabama could be in the path of Hurricane Dorian. It turns out that CNN suggested the same thing, a few days before Trump did, warning Alabama to “be on the lookout”.

"Then came the fiction that Trump outed a Russian informant. Instead the reality was that the decision on any outing or exfiltration occurred before Trump became president. We know whose watch this occurred on, but CNN chose to instead blame the current president.

"Now it’s an opinion poll. CNN’s story of the week is, ”6 in 10 say Trump does not deserve a second term.” Well, that settles it. If CNN says so, it must be true. Get ready for President Beto or Pete." . . .

Another Week, Another Ratings Collapse at Far-Left CNN, MSNBC  "Far-left MSNBC and CNN lost nearly a third of their respective primetime audiences when compared to this same week last year, reports TVNewser.
"While Fox News only lost five percent of its already mammoth primetime audience last week, MSNBC collapsed by an incredible 31 percent, while CNNLOL lost more than a quarter of its viewers, 26 percent.
"In total day, Fox lost just eight percent of viewers, compared to MSNBC’s collapse of 27 percent and CNNLOL’s 19 percent crater.
"Obviously, the big news around Hurricane Dorian did not convince people to tune into two news outlets that have lost all of their credibility, even among tens of millions of Democrats who do not support President Trump.
"What’s more, as you will see in the numbers below, Fox News is attracting almost as many viewers as CNNLOL and MSNBC combined." . . .

CNN's soulmate New York Times: Airplane violence caused the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001

If Democrats and their left supporters rule this country and control our information, we must learn to read between the lines of 1984-ish language.

. . . "In other words, some act of senseless plane violence, perhaps by the planes' pilots who aimed so carefully?  Or perhaps accidentally?  Who knows?  As Rep Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) so memorably expressed it, "some people did something."  Some people...could have been anyone, perhaps some privileged American white folks who flash Benjamins.  And anyway, what they did was just...something.  No big deal.  
"WRONG!  Apparently, there are millions of people still alive who not only remember the horror of 9/11, but know that someone has to "aim" the planes, and those who aimed the planes were not the pilots.  They were...Muslims.  Al-Qaeda Muslims.  Al-Qaeda Muslim terrorists, financed by Muslim nations, perhaps Saudi Arabia, perhaps others, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, who hated America and all it stood for.  And so, after many protests and just plain angry mockery, the N.Y. Times felt compelled to delete the original tweet that apparently didn't fill the need for truth in all the news millions require and replaced it with with a slightly more accurate version. " . . .


Raheem Kassam: The Media Has A Problem Covering 9/11

The New York Times began its 9/11 coverage this year with an avian appeal. The 9/11 tribute lights, they claim, are putting 160,000 birds at risk every year.
. . . "Imagine a right-wing website marking the far less deadly Charlottesville attack with a tweet that read, “A car took aim at Heather Heyer.”
No, a car didn’t take aim. A frenzied neo-Nazi did.
"No planes “took aim” on 9/11. Frenzied Islamic terrorists did.
"The Times was forced to back down, issuing a tweet that reads: “We’ve deleted an earlier tweet to this story and have edited for clarity. The story has also been updated.” The changes made to the story are unlisted, and the New York Times has not responded to my request for clarity at the time of publication.
"The paper also saw fit to publish an opinion-editorial by Omer Aziz, about how hard 9/11 made it to be a Muslim." . . .
. . . "On Aug. 5, 2019, he published what CNN laundered as a think-tank article by New America, titled: “Right-Wingers Are America’s Deadliest Terrorists.”
. . . 

"This is not to say that domestic terrorism related to Neo Nazism or ethno-nationalism is non-existent. But using 9/11 — as CNN has — to foster fears of a clearly less significant threat on a symbolic day is indicative of a deep-seated problem America’s media has with the day that shook the world."
"Avlon closed his two minutes of fear-mongering about “right-wing” terror by demanding, “To truly learn the lessons of 9/11 is to resolve not to let hate win or fear define us.”

"Between birds and” whataboutery,” America’s establishment journalists reveal who really has amnesia: them.
