Hoax from 2011 returns. Dew bottled water

DEW Bottled Water Fatal Poisoning Hoax (2011)

 . . . "Circulating message warns consumers not to drink any bottled water called “DEW” because it contains a poisonous chemical that has already killed 180 people in Nigeria. A new version claims that the water contains Ebola.  
Brief Analysis
"The claims in the warning message are false. Nigerian authorities have refuted the claims. There are no credible reports of deaths caused by a brand of bottled water called “DEW” in Nigeria or elsewhere. And the claim that people have died from bottled water contaminated with Ebola is utter nonsense. The warning contains false information and should not be forwarded." . . . More...

The Never Trump Response to Joe Biden Exploding and Threatening a Voter Is Just Incredible

Tony Branco

Red State  "As I reported earlier today, Joe Biden lost his mind while interacting with a union worker in Michigan. He managed to curse multiple times at the man, jab his finger in his face, threaten to slap the guy, and challenge him to “go outside.”
"Because he’s a Democrat, the media response was muted. We didn’t see a myriad of op-eds (well, CNN did post one in support of what Biden did) chastising Biden’s temperament or inability to make a coherent point. This follows a pattern of excuse-making for or outright ignoring Joe Biden’s mental decline on the campaign trail.
"But what about the Never Trumpers? Given their previous proclamations about decorum and decency, surely they took Biden to task for losing his cool and threatening to assault a voter, right? 

Read the twit's tweets here.

"Nah, they are either deflecting or outright endorsing what Biden did.

What could Jill Biden be thinking?

"Ah yes, Biden has only “lost his fastball” or something. Conversely, French is making a ridiculous attempt to whitewash how insane what the former Vice President did while making a desperate attempt to deflect to Trump. Biden didn’t just flub a word here and French knows it.
" 'But here’s the thing. The President has never gotten in a voter’s face, yelled cuss words at them, and then challenged them to a fight. That’s something too insane for even Trump to do. Further, it shouldn’t even matter who’s previously done what. If French and others are really as principled as they say they are, they should call balls and strikes here, not rush to point at the nearest squirrel." . . .

CNN's Ana Navarro-Cárdenas

After Biden verbally abuses a voter, the Democrats celebrate him  . . . "What none of these people understand is that Trump always punches either up or against his own weight. That's why his targets are the media, which buy pixels by the barrel, or politicians. Biden punched down. His attacks on a voter were the equivalent of being the big fifth-grader who beats up a kindergartner for lunch money. It wasn’t tough; it was bullying.

"Still, Biden’s campaign spokesman tried his best to spin the event as evidence of Biden’s “no malarkey” promise:" . . . . " Ana Navarro-Cárdenas, a rabidly anti-Trump CNN employee, was very excited about Biden’s words and used them to try to cast shade on Trump." . . .

‘You’re Full Of Sh**’: Biden Gets Into Shouting Match With Auto Worker Over Guns

But Biden has always come out against what he calls "assault weapons". His saying he is wanting to "go outside " with that worker I'd say was a worse thing. TD

Daily Caller  "Former Vice President Joe Biden was videotaped shouting at an auto worker about guns during a campaign stop in Michigan Tuesday.

"The audio in the video is not clear, but at one point the former vice president can be heard yelling about “AR-14’s,” and telling a Michigan voter that he’s “full of shit.”
. . . 
“ 'I support the 2nd Amendment,” Biden said. ” The 2nd Amendment, just like right now if you yell fire, that’s not free speech. I have a shotgun…my son’s hunt. I’m not taking your guns away at all.' ”
. . . 

"The Democratic presidential front-runner has made gun control a signature part of his campaign platform, and falsely claimed during a Democratic debate last month that 150 million people have been killed by guns in the past 13 years.
“ 'One hundred fifty million people have been killed since 2007,” Biden said at the time. “More than all the wars, including Vietnam, from that point on. Carnage on our streets.” . . .

After Joe Biden Threatens to Slap Detroit Auto Worker and the Media Tells Us This Makes Biden Look ‘Terrific’

Bernie and the Democrats: who dares believe a word they say?

Isn't Antifa's stated mission to attack Bernie's beliefs wherever they perceive them to be manifested? What about Bernie working with anti-semites while President Trump honors the Jewish state by placing the US embassy in Jerusalem?

Andrea Widburg  "Of late, Bernie has been making a big push about his being Jewish.  He's doing this because of concerns about the anti-Semites with whom he surrounds himself and his hostility to Israel.  On Monday, he undercut his own "I'm a proud Jew" message when he took on Phillip Agnew, a rabid anti-Semite and America-hater, as his newest senior adviser.
"Bernie's efforts to appear philo-Semitic arise from the fact that Judaism, unlike any other religion, has not only doctrinal components, but also genetic and cultural aspects.  Jews are a race because their genes identify them as Jewish.  Jews are undoubtedly a religion, as evidenced by the fact that millions of Jews live their lives to a greater or lesser extent in accordance with the Torah.  And finally, Jews are a culture, one that is distinct from other cultures and that is not dependent on religious worship or even on genetic Jewishness.  (Trump, for example, has a decidedly Jewish sense of humor.)
"Bernie is genetically Jewish.  He and his followers wield like a shield the fact that he had relatives who died in the Holocaust.  Bernie has an accent one associates with Jews raised in Brooklyn, and he undoubtedly is comfortable with some Yiddish expressions and probably likes chicken soup with matzoh balls (but who doesn't?).
"But what Bernie does not have is a religious or cultural affinity for Judaism.  As a socialist, he's hostile to religion.  As a communist, he's hostile to the world's only Jewish state.  During his three months in Israel, he lived on a kibbutz so Marxist and unsupportive of the Jewish state that Bernie, for many years, refused to name it.  Bernie is a Jew in genes only.  Nothing more.
"And like so many Jews who have turned against their lineage and their faith, Bernie is an anti-Semite.  The self-loathing Jew is a stereotype rooted in fact.  Other famous self-loathing Jews are Karl Marx, Noam Chomsky, and George Soros.  They are all dangerous people who use their troubled inner battles to damage other Jews.
"American Jews, even progressive Jews, are beginning to notice Bernie's anti-Semitism, and Bernie needs to win them back.  That's how we get ads like this:  Much more here

Sanders Rally Features Imam Who Claimed ‘Connection’ Between Israel and ISIS

Joe Biden isn’t much better, but the doom of Bernie Sanders’ campaign looms

FWST  "Backstage at a 1999 New Hampshire rally for his son, George H.W. Bush told me he knew two weeks before the 1992 election that he would lose to Bill Clinton. How in the world do you keep going? “Well,” he said, “you can’t just give up. You have to keep trying. And in politics, you never know what might happen.”
"That still holds true today. We don’t know what might happen before this year’s mid-July Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee. However, we’re getting pretty ominous indications of what’s ahead for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign for that party’s presidential nomination.
"It’s in trouble, serious trouble.
"Sanders is an old pro, very old. He’s spent virtually his entire career on a public payroll running for one office or another. And he knows trouble when he smells it.
"Of course, like Bush, he can’t admit the outlook publicly. That’s self-defeating. And being the front-runner, as former Vice President Joe Biden is now, has been a perilous place of late.
"So instead, Sanders talks about how close he and Biden are in delegate counts at this point, which is true. At least before the remainder of this month’s cascade of 1,100 delegate selections. Entering this week, Biden had 664 delegates, a third of what he needs to be the Democrat who faces Donald Trump on Nov. 3. Sanders is only 91 behind.
"But this time, Sanders is running behind his 2016 successes. All along, Sanders has been promising he can “expand turnout in a way that few other Democratic candidates can.' ” . . .

Sanders Responds to Clip of Hillary Trashing Him

Bernie claims to be honest and forthright, but he dodges penetrating questions as well as any other slippery politician, to youthful cheers of his audience.TD

Leah Barkoukis  "Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders responded to Hillary Clinton trashing him in the Hulu documentary, “Hillary”—saying he’s living in the present unlike her.
"Sanders’s response came during a Fox News town hall with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum after the moderators played the clip.

"Bernie just drove me crazy," Clinton says in the documentary. "He was in Congress for years. Years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him. He got nothing done."
"She added: "He was a career politician. He had—he did not work until he was like 41 and then he got elected to something. It was all just baloney and I feel so bad that you know, people got sucked into it."
"As the crowd booed loudly, MacCallum said, “That’s strong stuff. What’s your reaction?”

" 'Unlike Secretary Clinton, I don’t want to relive 2016. We’re in 2020 now," he replied."But, what I would say on a good day is my wife likes me," Sanders added. "But also, if you guys look at some of the polling they do for United States senators, in most cases I turn out to be the most popular senator in the country.' " . . .

Politicizing Coronavirus Will Cost Dems the House

Their rhetoric concerning COVID-19 has been both irresponsible and politically inept.   American Spectator

Politicizing Coronavirus Will Cost Dems the House  . . . "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, for example, issued a joint press release Sunday that included the following fiction: “President Trump continues to manufacture needless chaos within his administration and it is hampering the government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.” Predictably, Pelosi and Schumer fail to provide any objective facts to support this claim.
"This is just the latest in a series of irresponsible assertions by the Democrats. The purported front-runner for their party’s presidential nomination, former Vice President Joe Biden, falsely claimed during a debate in late February that the Trump administration had hampered the federal response to COVID-19 by cutting funding for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH):  . . ."

Yellow Journalism: A dishonest claim about Trump 'storming out' on a coronavirus question  "The press has a lot to answer for in its coverage of the coronavirus — stoking fear, claiming chaos that isn't there, and blaming President Trump, whose response to the pandemic has been exemplary.

"Helps to have some witnesses in the room.  Assuming that Saavedra is right, what a dishonest bit of sensationalism in such "journalism."  And apparently, the Daily Mail has changed the wording since the criticism.

"Whether it was from a desire for clicks, leftist bias, or just having nothing to report and making things up, it's not an honest characterization of the events." . . .

While the media are riveted by coronavirus, the Greece-Turkey border is exploding
"Even as Americans are obsessed with whether Trump is controlling the Wuhan Virus or whether Costco will have more toilet paper, unnerving things are happening on the Greece-Turkey border.  Turkey has unleashed tens of thousands of Muslim refugees who are headed to Europe, an invasion that, if successful, could destroy Europe's economy and will advance the demographic change started in 2015." . . .

This May Shock You: The Electoral College Is Essential For Our Politics

Forbes   "Critics of the much-maligned Electoral College overlook one of its fundamental virtues: tamping down dangerously divisive politics. Advocates of replacing this “18th-century anachronism” with a straight popular vote implicitly assume the current two-party system would remain intact and that the candidate with the most individual votes—instead of electoral votes—would win the White House. That’s the way things work for every other elected office in the U.S.; why wouldn’t it be so for the most important one of all? 

"But the basic two-party arrangement we take for granted exists only because of the Electoral College. To win the presidency, a candidate has to appeal to people across the country. A nationwide coalition is essential to gaining a majority in the Electoral College. A narrow sectional or special-interest base simply won’t cut it. That’s why our parties are collections of many diverse interests and backgrounds, reflecting the character of this continental nation whose citizens, or forebears, have come from all corners of the world and reflect a wide array of cultures and beliefs. It’s why supporters of the Democratic and Republican parties are so often uneasy with one another. GOP voters in the Northeast, for instance, who tend to emphasize economic issues such as low taxes, are put off by social conservatives. 

"The system puts a premium on moderation. Yes, candidates can advocate bold programs, but they have to do so in ways that don’t alienate more tepid members of their party, not to mention independent voters. A radical idea usually goes through what might be called a marinating process, during which time people become accustomed to the notion, and even then it has often become a watered-down version of the original." . . . More...

California Is a Cruel Medieval State

Victor Davis Hanson

The Golden State has become a cruel and unusual place because callousness and narcissism were redefined as caring and compassion.

     "One way of understanding California is simply to invert traditional morality. What for centuries would be considered selfish, callous, and greedy is now recalibrated as caring, empathetic, and generous. The current ethos of evaluating someone by his or her superficial appearance—gender or race—has returned to the premodern values of 19th-century California when race and gender calibrated careers. We don’t pay medieval priests for indulgences of our past and ongoing sin, but we do tweet out displays of our goodness as the penance price of acting amoral.
     "A paradox ensues that Californians both have a high, indeed smug, view of themselves and yet do a lot of damage to their fellow human beings. Their haughtiness is based largely on the reality that Silicon Valley, sandwiched between Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley, became the birthplace of the global computer, internet, social media, and a high-tech revolution. For progressives who deprecate the capitalist lifestyle, having a lot of money still allows one to say one thing and live out the opposite.
     "The state’s multi-trillion-dollar companies have hired tens of thousands of seven-figure, mid-level executives and computer experts who assume that life in the California coastal corridor is a birthright paradise.
     "The resulting tax revenue bonanza to the state allows one-party-rule to rid California of the old bothersome Reagan-Deukmejian-Wilson working- and middle-classes by embracing not-in-my-backyard zoning, identity politics, anal-retentive regulations, steep tax rates, utopian green agendas, open borders, and decriminalization of things that used to be felony offenses.
     "Indeed, the bigger and wealthier California became, the more the rich sought to privatize their lives and to give up on public services, the more the middle classes left the state, the more the poor from Mexico and Latin America crossed the southern border illegally, the more its schools deteriorated, and the more its infrastructure ossified and became decrepit, from century-old power transmission towers to pot-holed and jammed highways." . . .  More...

CNN “Religion Commentator” Edward Beck Slanders Christians: Throws the Body of Christ Under a Bus

Sarah Watching

"Have you ever had someone tell a lie about you? It’s a pretty helpless feeling.”

So begins a chapter on “Slander” by CNN Religion Commentator “Father” Edward Beck in his book Soul Provider: Spiritual Steps to Limitless Love. He continues:

You can dispute the lie, but once it is uttered, it cannot be taken back. It takes on a life of its own. Even if shown to be untrue, the lie exists in memory, at times destroying reputations and lives. Perhaps this is why slander has been seen as such a major offense by religious traditions.

Adamant that “no good can come from slander,” Beck next describes the disturbing root of slander and the necessary resolve to combat this “world of unrighteousness” (James 3:6):

Whether we torch a reputation for our own purposes or we find ourselves maligned for the sake of someone else’s designs, there is no good that comes from slander. Rooted in insecurity and detached from reality, slander begins as words uttered and ends in lives destroyed. The surest way to prevent that destruction is to imprison malicious words with utmost diligence…” . . .
