Pelosi's appeal to the 25th Amendment for help in removing President Trump

 Pelosi Floats Invoking 25th Amendment to Remove Trump for Health Reasons  "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday expressed doubts about President Trump’s health after his coronavirus diagnosis and announced that over the next day she will be discussing the constitutional measure that allows the vice president to take over if the president becomes incapacitated.

“We’re going to be talking about the 25th Amendment,” Pelosi said, referring to the constitutional provision allowing the vice president to take over as acting president if the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

“I think that the public needs to know the health condition of the President,” Pelosi said, adding that, “there’s one question that he refused to answer … when was his last negative test?” . . .

Nancy Pelosi says Congress will discuss using 25th Amendment powers which could REMOVE Donald Trump amid fears COVID steroid treatment is affecting his mental health  . . . "The 25th Amendment's doomsday clause, section four, allowed a president to be removed from office against his will because of incapacity, whether physical or mental.

"But it could only be used to remove Trump with the assistance of Mike Pence and members of his Cabinet, which currently appears unlikely. 

"It does however allow Congress to appoint a body to assess the president's fitness - which gives Pelosi an opening and in the context of an election campaign, a chance to taunt her long-term enemy Trump, who for years has called her 'Crazy Nancy.'

"Pelosi has been sounding the alarm on Trump's mental state for the past few days after he issued a surprising tweet on Tuesday calling off negotiations on a COVID relief bill. His move crashed the stock market. 

" 'I've quoted others to say that there are those who say that when you're on steroids and/or if you've had COVID-19 or both - that there may be some impairment of judgment. But, again, that's for the doctors and scientists to determine, but it was very strange, really surprising and I'm rarely surprised, when the president took to the tweet and saying that he wants the Senate to have full focus on this confirmation of the justice and turned attention away, so we're stopping negotiations,' she told Bloomberg News." . . .

This Won't End Well: Rioters in Wisconsin Invade the Suburbs

PJ Media


"Townhall’s Julio Rosas was on the ground Wednesday night in Wauwatosa, Wisc., filming the not-so-peaceful rioters operating under some new grievance about a police shooting. Frankly, I don’t care what it’s about at this point. There’s no excuse for violence and property damage and I’m tired of giving it any credibility by mentioning whatever today’s grievance is, knowing there will be another one tomorrow. Violence in response to injustice is neither just nor useful.

"This latest “protest” saw a lot of broken windows and skirmishes with police. But it was this second video in Rosas’ thread that stands out. Rioters moved into a residential area and began throwing bricks and stones through windows. It’s a good time to remind these people that Americans just purchased guns in record numbers after a summer of riots and looting. Five million (at last count) new gun owners are packing heat just for this circumstance and there’s no way that this will end well for rioters if it continues." . . . 

But there are those Soros-financed Attorneys General we must remember.

Are Americans Tired of Being Called ‘Racist’ Yet? (UPDATED)

White people are bad, being white is wrong, and only a “right-wing terrorist” would vote for Trump — such is the general sentiment expressed by the Democratic Party’s national platform. The racism of white people is “systemic,” a word repeated 10 times in the Democratic platform . . .

The American Spectator   "What is “racism,” and why do Democrats so relentlessly accuse Americans of it? It is necessary to put scare-quotes around “racism” nowadays, because the word has been quite nearly stripped of meaning by its constant overuse as a political epithet. Depending on the context, sometimes “racist” is merely a synonym for white person (which seems to be the message of Robin DiAngelo and other proponents of Critical Race Theory), but during election season in the United States, it seems that “racist” is synonymous with Republican.

"It is this purely partisan definition of “racist” that former First Lady Michelle Obama demonstrated this week in a remarkable 26-minute video campaign ad for Joe Biden. Mrs. Obama heaped praise on the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as “an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity.” In fact, BLM is an avowedly Marxist revolutionary organization that has inspired the murder of police officers and incited violent riots nationwide. Of course, anyone who points out this fact is immediately subject to denunciation as a “racist,” and the purpose of Mrs. Obama’s video was to point the finger at President Trump. By criticizing BLM’s organized spree of vandalism, looting and arson, Trump was “stoking fears about black and brown Americans,” Mrs. Obama earnestly declared:

Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all. So what the president is doing is, once again, patently false. It’s morally wrong and yes, it is racist, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work…. Racism, fear, division, these are powerful weapons and they can destroy this nation if we don’t deal with them head on.   

 "The “tiny fraction” of BLM-inspired riots that Mrs. Obama dismisses as a trivial statistic inflicted billions of dollars of damage, mostly on small businesses in minority neighborhoods, but you are “racist” — guilty of “stoking fears” — if you express concern about this terroristic campaign of destructive violence. Trump is “racist,” according to Mrs. Obama, and everyone who votes for Trump is “racist.” Thus, what the former First Lady called her “Closing Argument” for the Biden campaign can be summarized simply: Democrats, good; Republicans, racist." . . .

UPDATE: Michelle Obama Brands Trump as 'Racist' in 'Closing' Attack

“I want everyone who is still undecided to think about all those folks like me and my ancestors … the millions of folks who look like me and fought and died and toiled as slaves and soldiers and laborers to help build its country,” Obama said.

Oh Honey, you have that backwards. Every time you are handed a microphone, you resort to lecturing whites about their racism, but you are the racist. You have always run down whites in "entitled" and really disgusting racist rants. 

VIDEO: Pence Presses Harris A Few Time Over SCOTUS Packing, Refuses To Answer…

 Weasel Zippers


Kamala Harris won — if the prize was awarded for the most lies in a debate   "The vice presidential debate is over.  If the winner is the person who quietly dominated the room, fought off two antagonists, never lost focus, and landed one deadly blow after another, then the winner must be Mike Pence, hands down.  However, if the score was for the person who lied incessantly and refused to answer a critical question, Harris is the winner.

"Before getting to the lies, the most important moment of the evening was Harris's refusal to answer when asked about packing the Supreme Court.  Pence had cornered Kamala, telling her to answer whether she and Joe would pack the Supreme Court.  It was a question that required a "yes" or a "no" answer.  Instead, Kamala squirmed, lied, smirked, and played the race card, all the while hoping no one would notice she hadn't answered. Pence noticed, though, and he put it on the record:" . . .

Kamala was helped in peddling her lies because Susan Page, the moderator, consistently attacked the Trump-Pence record.  She balanced those attacks by refraining, for the most part, from challenging Kamala on her or Biden's history, asking them only easy hypotheticals about what they would do better than Trump.  I wonder why.

Shameful moderator bias at the vice presidential debate   "One tragedy of this election season, and all modern election seasons, is that the Democrats' radicalism is being hidden from the American people by a complicit media establishment.

"It would have been nice, then, if Wednesday's vice presidential debate could have been a teaching moment where light was shined on Kamala Harris's and Joe Biden's toxic positions.  Unfortunately, moderator Susan Page's bias made this impossible.

"Page, USA Today's Washington Bureau chief, made sure to inquire about how Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court would affect abortion, exhibiting the typical leftist obsession with prenatal infanticide.  She asked Vice President Mike Pence how he thought his state of Indiana should legislate on the matter were Roe v. Wade struck down (I didn't know he was again running for the Hoosier State's governor)." . . .



Amidst Historic Ratings Plunge, NBA Commissioner Says League Likely To Pull 'Black Lives Matter' Messaging Next Year

Zero Hedge  

"It's amazing how when ratings plunge and ad revenue starts to dry up, moral crusades go right back out the window...

"Such is the case for the NBA, which has spent the better part of its shortened season on a political crusade on behalf of Black Lives Matter, leading to a sharp plunge in ratings that we have documented here on Zero Hedge.

"NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared to confirm early this week that Black Lives Matter messaging will be pulled from the court and from players jerseys next year. According to The Blaze, Silver alluded to the messaging being removed despite the league being "completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality." 

"He said implementing the change is "something we're gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss."

"He told Rachel Nichols of ESPN: "I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer. My sense is there'll be somewhat a return to normalcy — that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.' " . . .

Let's hope this will go into the same dumpster as kneeling before BLM.

Kamala Harris's Ratings Plummet As People Realize They'd Have To Listen To Her Voice For Next 4 Years

 Parody from Babylon Bee


"SALT LAKE CITY, UT—Joe Biden's running mate appears to be in deep trouble after speaking in tonight's debate and letting everyone hear what her voice actually sounds like.

" 'This is a disaster for us," said campaign manager Jennifer O'Malley Dillon to anonymous sources. "We really didn't think people were actually going to watch this debate, let alone with the sound on."

Donkey Hotey
"According to polls of citizens who watched the debate, the very thought of hearing Kamala Harris's voice and signature cackle for the next 4-8 years makes 3 out of 4 people want to lay down in front of a steamroller. 

" 'Never thought I'd say this, but maybe my old lady's voice ain't so bad," said Bob Ataboy, a local factory worker.

"The campaign vowed to address this situation and has set up Harris for personal classes with famous likeability coach Hillary Clinton." 

Her record shows her to be a gifted shapeshifter.  . . . "Joe Biden’s running mate had the most liberal voting record in the Senate last year — surpassing even Bernie Sanders — according to government watchdog GovTrack.

"Harris advocates late-term abortion, thinks Catholics are not fit to serve on the Supreme Court, has tried to criminalize climate-change denial and the manufacture of guns, wants to give taxpayer-funded health care to illegal immigrants and, as California’s attorney general, wielded power like a callous autocrat.

"But, if by pragmatic, the Times means this Barack Obama protegé will be whatever you want her to be, it’s correct." . . .

Off limits are words such as “ambition,” “likeability” and “electability.” No photos looking angry because that “perpetuates racist tropes.” So is reporting, “even as asides . . . on . . . looks, weight, tone of voice, attractiveness and hair.” The Democrats are trying to stifle criticism before it begins.

The governor says it, I believe it. That settles it

California governor's office tells diners to wear masks "in between bites"  . . . " 'I'm very confused by this tweet. The image suggests you should only take your mask off once when you begin a meal but the text suggests you should put it back on between bites," journalist Matthew Fuhrman wrote, referring to the graphic shared in the tweet. 

" 'Should we wash our hands after touching our mask each time we remove it between bites? What if I'm eating chips and salsa and I go for a double dip? Is that technically two bites since it's the same chip?" another person asked. ' . . .

Going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? Don't forget to keep your mask on in between bites. Do your part to keep those around you healthy. #SlowtheSpread covid19.ca.gov

Saving California Will Save America  "As proven by the torrent of executive orders issued by King Newsom during this COVID-19 pandemic, during a public emergency, constitutional rights and due process go out the window. In the coming years, with California’s one-party state leading the way, expect climate emergencies, systemic racism emergencies, and new health related emergencies to shred what is left of democracy in America.

"These “emergencies” are enabling the onset of political tyranny in California, with Governor Gavin Newsom as the figurehead. His most significant overseers are the teachers’ unions and Big Tech billionaires. These two blocs spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on political campaigns and lobbyists, along with funding powerful nonprofit groups that agitate for politically useful agendas with respect to the environment, homelessness, social justice, and race and gender equity.

"All this well-funded advocacy is framed as “for the people” and “for the planet,” but in reality, everything Newsom, his predecessors, and his puppeteers have done has failed ordinary Californians, while delivering more power and more profits to California’s ruling elite. ' . . .
