Sinema Leads McSally By Six In Arizona Senate Race

Say it ain't so, Arizona!

. . . "I say this race has bad vibes because, apart from two weeks earlier this month, Sinema has led basically the whole way. A poll taken during the Kavanaugh saga found McSally ahead by six, then another survey in mid-October put her ahead by two. That raised the possibility that Arizonans were coming home to the GOP in the final weeks of the race and/or that the “Kavanaugh effect” was starting to bite Sinema like it had Heidi Heitkamp and/or that the drumbeat of old video of Sinema dumping on Arizona’s politics had caught up to her. But the last two polls, each taken this week, have her back up by three and six points, respectively. Overall she’s led in nine of the last 11 polls taken, occasionally by margins as large as six or seven points. If there were any Kavanaugh-related backlash to the Democrat or any umbrage taken at her Arizona remarks, it appears to have worn off.

"Or maybe it was blunted by other forces?

The last week has been driven by Trump's response to the mail bombs and Pittsburgh, and now he's leaning into birthright citizenship. His Gallup approval has dropped 4 points and there are new discouraging polls for the GOP this AM. We'll see if this proves a bigger trend, but...

"The polls this morning are indeed bad for the GOP, especially in the House. (There are posts coming up about that.) It’s easy to pin that on Trump, but NBC’s data suggests another possibility in Arizona:" . . .

CNN face plant trying to blame Trump for synagogue massacre

Fortunately for CNN, some of their allies showed up at a Blackburn rally to ruin a moment of silence for the shooting victims

Carol Brown  "You have to hand it to CNN -- sometimes. Yesterday, Alisyn Camerota asked her guest probing questions about hate: “Can hate be cultivated?” “What lights the match of hate?”

"Unfortunately, her guest wasn’t Robert Spencer and she wasn’t trying to expose the root cause of jihad.

"Instead, she was interviewing Rabbi Jeffery Myers of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh and baiting him without relent to blame President Trump for the carnage. But the rabbi wouldn’t have it and she looked the desperate fool."

Video

. . . "The media has one thing and one thing only that is aims to achieve: advance leftist goals and pummel conservatives at every turn. And they will say whatever it takes to get the job done – even if it means baiting a Rabbi to blame President Trump for the behavior of a nutcase anti-Semite.

"What a loathsome lot.!"

Why does the media let Obama get away with such bald faced lying on the stump?

 Let's hope James Woods keeps working in Hollywood.*

Jack Hellner

During Obama’s eight years, he repeatedly ginned up racial hate and derision towards cops. The best example was Ferguson, Missouri, where so many, especially journalists, pushed the fictional “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative”. How much violence and shootings of law enforcement have occurred because of the fictional narrative?

Right off the top of my head, I can think of five policemen here in the Dallas area. Perhaps CNN can name us more: CNN? CNN? . . .

"When I see former President Obama and others lecturing Trump about lying, bragging that no one got charged in the Obama administration, blaming Trump for political and racial division and claiming credit for the booming economy, I long for journalists who will correct the record. Sadly, there aren’t many out there so I will try to do their job.

"The first thing that needs to be corrected is when Obama is given credit for bringing us out of the 2008 recession. The truth is that the economy came out in June 2009, 110 days after Obama took office -- before any of his policies could have had an effect on the economy. Three main things brought the economy out. 1. TARP where banks and others were loaned money (that they mostly paid back) to shore up their capital base.  2. The Federal Reserve rapidly dropping interest rates and injecting massive amounts of liquidity into the markets. 3. Rapidly dropping oil prices. Obama had little or nothing to do with those policies or actions.

"In the summer of 2008, gasoline prices shot up to over $4 per gallon for no justifiable reason. The price rise acted as a massive tax hike on all individuals and businesses. In the fall of 2008, Bush opened up drilling and by the time Obama took office, the price had collapsed to under $2 per gallon, reinvigorating purchasing power. One of the first things Obama did was to again block the drilling, reversing the positive effects.

"Obama’s policies actually gave the U.S. the slowest economic recovery in seventy years, despite massive government spending increases, punishingly low interest rates and running up almost $10 Trillion in debt." . . .

Tell us again: So why did Congressman Joe Wilson of Arkansas get in trouble for yelling "You Lie!" at Obama during his State of the Union address?

Heard of the term "False Flag"?

Genghis Gary.

WantToKnow.info  "False flag terrorism" occurs when elements within a government stage a secret operation whereby government forces pretend to be a targeted enemy while attacking their own forces or people. The attack is then falsely blamed on the enemy in order to justify going to war against that enemy. Or as Wikipedia defines it:

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.

"The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy's flag was hung instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, it was called a "false flag" attack.

9/11 Note: For those wanting to explore the possibility of 9/11 as a false flag operation, click here.

"Historical False Flag Attacks

"There are many examples of false flag attacks throughout history. For example, it is widely known that the Nazis, in Operation Himmler, faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. And it has now been persuasively argued — as shown, for example, in this History Channel video — that Nazis set fire to their own parliament, the Reichstag, and blamed that fire on others. The Reichstag fire was the watershed event which justified Hitler's seizure of power and suspension of liberties." . . .

Vandals Shot Up a Republican Headquarters Office in Florida

Yes, that's what this press called the shooting: "vandalized"! Nothing to see here, folks; keep moving on.
Wonder how many acts of vandalism occurred overnight on the streets of Chicago.  TD

Legal Insurrection
“It’s a small strip center and no other business was vandalized, so it was obviously politically motivated.”

Can everyone CALM DOWN? Those who work and volunteer at the Volusia County’s Republican Party headquarters, located in Florida, discovered their office vandalized.

Vandals shot out the windows and people discovered four bullet holes inside the office.

From The Daytona Beach News-Journal:

Inside, volunteers pointed to bullet holes in the walls and ceiling.

“We have never had any kind of vandalism before at a Republican Headquarters,” Tony Ledbetter, the chairman of Volusia County’s Republican Party, said in an email Monday morning. “It’s a small strip center and no other business was vandalized, so it was obviously politically motivated.”

Ledbetter said he was the last to leave the GOP headquarters at 4 p.m. Sunday and workers in the adjacent businesses, including an e-cigarette store, a restaurant and a massage business, had closed by 10 p.m. No one heard shots fired and there were no injuries.

That means the incident took place after 4PM on Sunday. Police Captain Mark Cheatham said law enforcement has determined “at least four rounds were fired into the building” and they’re still tracking down video. They do not have any witnesses.

A master smackdown for Kamala Harris on Twitter

On the Ellen Show, Kamala Harris Jokes about Killing Trump, Pence, Sessions  

Democratic senator Kamala Harris joked about killing President Trump and members of his administration in a Thursday appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show.“If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?” DeGeneres asked Harris during a series of random, mostly cheery questions she read from cards.Harris made a displeased face and asked Ellen, “Does one of us have to come out alive?”

Craziness: Bomb Suspect Cesar Sayoc And Stormy Daniels Worked at the Same Strip Club

Beth Baumann

"In a really strange turn of events, it has been discovered that bombing suspect Cesar Sayoc worked at Ultra Gentleman's Club in West Palm Beach, FL, the same strip club that Stormy Daniels performed at back in April, WPTV reported. 

"Sayoc worked as a DJ at the club on Thursday afternoon and was arrested on Friday. 
"According to the club's manager, Stacey Saccal, Sayoc had worked as a DJ for the past two months. She had received no complaints about him from other staff members and he seemed like a "nice guy."

" 'I never knew that his van was covered in political stickers. I thought it was an ice cream truck," Saccal told WPTV, noting that he parked far from the club. 

"Saccal also said her employees had no idea that Sayoc was political. He never talked about politics at work and no one noticed the stickers on his van because of how far away he parked when he had a shift.

" Fellow DJ Scott Migs said Sayoc brought two duffle backs and a cooler to work with him on Thursday night. He stashed them behind the DJ booth. Migs said he's unsure if any weapons were in the duffle bags. 

"According to Saccal, employees were shocked when they learned about Sayoc's actions. Everyone felt he was a nice guy and they all thought they knew him. 

"Stormy Daniels performed at the same strip club back in April, which just so happened to coincide with President Donald Trump's visit. Interestingly enough, this strip club sits across the street from Trump's golf course.

" Is all of this mere coincidence or a coordinated attack against President Trump?

'Respond to Hate With Love': Muslim Organizations Raise Thousands to Benefit Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Victims

'Respond to Hate With Love': Muslim Organizations Raise Thousands to Benefit Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Victims  "As Pittsburgh continues to reel from a tragic weekend, a Muslim-led effort has begun a crowdfunded campaign to raise money for the victims of Saturday’s synagogue shooting.
"Posted on LaunchGood, a Muslim-focused crowdfunding site, the effort aims to help support the short-term needs of victims and their families by raising money for medical bills, funeral costs and other expenses after a gunman stormed services at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue, killing 11 and wounding 6 before being captured by police.
"The charity drive has already been a success, with organizers claiming to have raised an average of $2,000 per hour since launching the effort on Saturday. Within six hours, the campaign had already reached its initial goal of $25,000. In less than 24 hours, it had broken $50,000.
"Two Muslim-led nonprofits, CelebrateMercy and MPower Change, organized the fundraising drive in partnership with the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh and the Tree of Life Synagogue, which will work together to distribute the funds to victims and their families." . . .

Republican Jewish Coalition calls for resignation of 7 Democrats over 'ties' to Farrakhan

ABC News

"The Republican Jewish Coalition is calling for the resignation of seven Democratic members of Congress whom it claims are "connected" to controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. The group describes him as a "known anti-Semite.' "
"Farrakhan has routinely spoken disparagingly about Jews over the years, as well as white people, in general. He was thrust into the mainstream spotlight again this week after excerpts from a speech he gave last week on the Nation of Islam's Saviour's Day surfaced online. During the speech, he once again described Jewish people -- who he says "are my enemy" -- in a pejorative manner.
"The lobbying group on Tuesday called for the following lawmakers to step down: Reps. Keith Ellison, D-Minn.; Barbara Lee, D-Calif.; Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; Danny Davis, D-Ill.; Andre Carson, D-Ind.; Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y.; and Al Green, D-Texas." . . .

Shep Smith vs Chris Wallace brouhaha

On-air spat gets uncomfortable: Chris Wallace tries to fix testy Trump-blaming Shep Smith  "Following the arrest of suspected package bomber Cesar Sayoc Jr.,  Shepard Smith argued that the president bears responsibility for Sayoc’s actions.
"Most Fox News fans were not at all shocked. The big surprise came when one unexpected colleague tried to talk him down from that ledge … while they were on air.
" 'You just can’t ignore the politics of this, even if you wanted to,”  Smith opined while speaking with political commentator Chris Wallace about Sayoc’s arrest in Florida." . . .
"Wallace promptly pushed back, noting that attributing the suspect’s actions to Trump would be as misguided as blaming the near-fatal shooting of several congressmen last year to Democrats.
"“I don’t think you can draw any particular link or any responsibility on the part of the president for this action,” he said. “I mean, as Sarah Sanders said … a Bernie Sanders supporter shot up the congressman at the baseball practice. Is Bernie Sanders responsible for that?”
"“Nobody is saying he’s responsible,” Smith replied, before again aiming criticism at President Donald Trump for his allegedly “divisive” rhetoric. “When you talk like this the concern is that one crazy one might get empowered.”
"It’s unclear why the self-described Fox News “reporter,” who’s repeatedly displayed a notable aversion for the president and his supporters, neglected to highlight the media’s own increasingly angry and divisive rhetoric." . . .

" 'It’s a twisted individual and to hold President Trump responsible …,” Wallace tried rebutting, presumably referencing Sayoc’s lengthy criminal history, which includes having threatened in 2002 to detonate a bomb that would be “worse than September 11.”
"Smith ignored this point, doubling down on his argument that the president’s rhetoric — particularly his criticism of the demonstrably left-wing media — has ginned up tension in America.
" 'I think that it’s really incorrect to somehow hold the president, either by implication or directly, responsible in any way for the misdeeds of someone who’s a psychopath or a sociopath,” his counterpart again tried to point out before being interrupted again.
"'Nobody did that, Chris. Don’t say I did. All I said is when the rhetoric gets loud, the crazies come out sometimes,” Smith said, again suggesting that rhetoric alone inspires violence.
"The debate eventually concluded with Wallace again trying to remind Smith that connecting heated political rhetoric to the actions of the clinically insane is never wise." . . .

Maxine Waters would agree with Shep, don't you know?

"Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) published a video on Thursday placing the blame for the bomb threats to her office — and to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — squarely on President Donald Trump's shoulders, despite his clear and repeated condemnation of the attacks. Waters avoided any mention of her own efforts to incite protest, or the similar statements from Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, and Cory Booker." . . .

In Pittsburgh, a Holocaust survivor was four minutes late to synagogue, escaping death a second time

At the same time, Samet dismissed the notion that President Donald Trump bears responsibility for inciting anti-Semitic violence. He supports the president.
"I don't fall in love with people, except my family, but I love him for what he's doing," Samet said. "Our economy is fantastic. Obama was a jerk and hated Israel."  . . .

SFGate "Twice now, Judah Samet has almost paid with his life for being Jewish.
"More than 70 years ago, he narrowly escaped death in Germany's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Again Saturday, he looked death in the face - not in his native Hungary, where nationalism is resurgent, but in the country where he found sanctuary after the Second World War.
"Samet, 80, almost died in the parking lot of Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue, his place of worship, when a gunman who "wanted all Jews to die" killed 11 people during morning services. It was the deadliest attack against Jews in U.S. history.
" 'I survived the second time yesterday," he said in an interview on Sunday. The question put to him repeatedly following the attack, he said, was whether memories of the Holocaust had flashed before his eyes as he watched anti-Semitic violence convulse his adopted home. "And I said, 'it never stops,'" he told The Post.
"The octogenarian's recollections are particularly noteworthy as more information emerges about the victims of Saturday's massacre. They ranged from 54 to 97, ages that made them more conscious than most of the ghastly outcome in the previous century of anti-Jewish hatred.
" 'I used to say, 'I can't look back,'" Samet said. "But then, about seven or eight years ago, I looked around and noticed that most survivors were in their 90s, and that pretty soon there wouldn't be anyone else in Pittsburgh to talk."
"Samet, who owns a downtown jewelry shop he inherited from his father, has been a member of the Conservative congregation for 54 years. For four decades, he was a part-time cantor, chanting prayers and helping to lead worship.
"On Saturday morning, he did what always does on the Sabbath - he went to synagogue. Services start at 9:45 a.m. Yet that morning, Samet was delayed.
" 'I was talking to my housekeeper here; she comes once a week," he said in a phone conversation from his apartment, where he lives alone. He needs only a few minutes to drive the leafy streets to his synagogue in Squirrel Hill, the nucleus of Jewish Pittsburgh. "I was four minutes late. Instead of 9:45, I got there about 9:49, maybe 9:50."
"Those four minutes may have saved his life." . . .

Hollywood's Michael Moore will be searching for some way to blame Trump, I'm sure.
Speaking of Moore, here is a friend of his with Jew-hating Farrakhan:

9 Democrat Lawmakers with Ties to Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.

Below, the statement issued by Republican Jewish Coalition executive director Matt Brooks: 

. . . Seven long-serving Democrats have close ties with Louis Farrakhan. Each of them should resign.They include former Nation of Islam employee, Congressman Keith Ellison, who is Deputy Chair of the DNC. Ellison has tried to excuse his 2013 meeting with Farrakhan, while ignoring his more recent meeting with the NOI leader in Farrakhan’s hotel room, in 2015. At least six other Democrats are known to have embraced Farrakhan. These members of Congress - Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Danny Davis, Andre Carson, Gregory Meeks, and Al Green - have all, while in office, sat down with Farrakhan for personal meetings.There can be no question about how abhorrent it is for these Democrats to be connected to Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan is first and foremost a preacher of hate. He preaches about Jewish “control” over the government and media and has claimed to have “pulled a cover off of that Satanic Jew,” saying “your time is up, your world is through.” And those were just the comments from last week.

#WalkAway movement urges disgruntled Democrats to leave the party behind

Fox News  "A newly created political movement urging liberals to leave the Democratic Party held a march in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
"The five-month-old #WalkAway movement advocates that those who feel disillusioned with the party -- which some say uses scare tactics and identity politics -- to come out publicly against it." . . .

Oct. 27, 2018 - 4:24 - What started as a 6-minute YouTube video has surged onto the national stage with countless former Democrats deciding to leave their party; WalkAway campaign founder Brandon Straka explains.

‘Phony liberalism’: #Walkaway campaign founder urges to abandon Democrat ideals

. . .  “People are fed up with what’s happening on the left,” he said, adding that interest skyrocketed after the hearings into sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. “These were really the kind of die-hard loyalists. People in their 60s and 70s who had been Democrats their whole life who said ‘This was the final straw for me.’”

"Scores of video testimonials posted to the #WalkAway Campaign Facebook page give a variety of reasons for switching political allegiances.

"Some said the Democratic Party has become hate-filled and hostile to opposing points of view while moving further to the left. Others say they were tired of the party’s "politically correct" culture.

"The movement caught President Trump's attention. He tweeted about the event before it began." . . .
