"Reminder to Conservatives, police represent the state and its authority over you."
New York law enforcement now entering PRIVATE HOMES. “We came because we had a vehicle parking complaint. Then I look up and I see you have over 10 people in a crowd!” Gestapo at work. Never vote BLUE! They are communists.
At MSNBC and CNN, is there no sense of decency or journalistic integrity?

| “There is absolutely zero, none, zero evidence that Black Lives Matter has ever pushed for anything violent, pushed for anything violent to happen to police,” MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed after the presidential debate" |
"During Thursday night’s presidential debate, President Trump said a number of things that set off MSNBC’s Joy Reid. The one that seems to have triggered her the most, however, was when Trump condemned Black Lives Matters’ hatred and violence towards police officers.
"Before we get to Reid’s comments, here’s the exchange between Trump and debate moderator Kristen Welker, who is also a White House correspondent for NBC News:
Welker:Mr. President, you’ve described the Black Lives Matter movement as a symbol of hate. You’ve shared a video of a man chanting white power to millions of your supporters. You’ve said that Black professional athletes exercising their first amendment rights should be fired. What do you say to Americans who say that kind of language from a president is contributing to a climate of hate and racial strife?
Trump: Well you have to understand the first time I ever heard of Black Lives Matter they were chanting ‘Pigs in a blanket’, talking about police, ‘Pigs, Pigs’, talking about our police, ‘Pigs in a blanket, fry’ em like bacon’. I said, ‘That’s a horrible thing’. And they were marching down the street. And that was my first glimpse of Black Lives Matter. I thought it was a terrible thing. As far as my relationships with all people, I think I have great relationships with all people. I am the least racist person in this room.
. . .
Dontcha just love her packingthecourt face mask?
"Not that this was a surprise to anyone familiar with her penchant for saying and doing stupid things, but Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) did not exactly cover herself in glory during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
"To quickly recap, Hirono actually asked Judge Barrett if she had ever sexually assaulted anyone. Here was her exact question: “Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”
"In another moment that sealed Hirono’s place in the wackadoodle hall of fame, Hirono took issue with Judge Barrett’s use of the term “sexual preference” when talking about gay rights cases. “Sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term, it is used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice — it is not,” Hirono claimed at the time.
“ 'So even though you didn’t give a direct answer I think your response did speak volumes,” the senator stated. “Not once but twice you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community.”
"It was pointed out at the time by conservatives that the term “sexual preference” was actually used by, among other prominent Democrats, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as well as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But Hirono was never confronted about this by the mainstream media because that would mean having to do actual journalism in a way that would reflect badly on a Democrat." . . .
"After five days of intensive subterranean preparation, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was coherent and gaffe-free for the first hour and got to the end without any horrifying blunders, though he trailed off into grammatical chaos and jumbled articulation a couple of times. There were relatively few interruptions and no persistent interruptions and neither candidate was acoustically or behaviorally irritating.
"The moderator, Kristen Welker, was fair and efficient. President Trump skillfully cast himself as an “outsider” who gets and has produced results, facing an insider who has accomplished precious little useful after 47 years paddling and wallowing in the public trough and moving steadily to the left.
"Trump finally gave a spirited and plausible defense of his COVID leadership and gave voice to the national impatience with a policy of panic and defeatism. He exhorted the audience: “Learn to live with it,” and the former vice president, in what presumably he thought was a clever rejoinder, said that “We will have to learn to die with it.” Trump, in turn, referred effectively, but unhistrionically, to his own bout with the coronavirus." . . .
Monica Showalter "Grocery retailer Trader Joe's, which refused to cave in to political correctness in its product names, is experiencing new problems with Black Lives Matter protestors in Seattle, according to Breitbart News:
Black Lives Matter protesters pushed their way into a Seattle Trader Joe’s demanding the company give “15 percent at least.” The group has repeated the tactic of harassing the store’s staff and customers over the past few months.
A video tweeted Thursday night shows a large group of BLM activists entering a Seattle Trader Joe’s store. They chanted and beat drums as they marched through the grocery chain location.
"Seattle has five Trader Joe's locations and Breitbart reports that three of them have been hit in this way. It shows that Trader Joe's, which resisted the demands, remains a target, based on Seattle's failure to send police to protect them." . . .
Hear the juvenile voices in this video:
BLM of course, is led by "trained Marxists" who just happened to have learned their tactics at Hugo Chavez's knee. Here's a piece I did on their pilgrimages to Caracas, where these kinds of shakedowns are what goes on in that hellhole. And don't think the Chavista agenda they embrace isn't to harm the entire U.S. Here's one I wrote from 2019. And Venezuelans have noticed the similarities.
"Will allegations of Biden family corruption ever be properly scrutinized?"
I"t ought to be enough to sink him. Trump knew what he was doing when he did the moderator's job for her, and drew Biden out."
Monica Showalter "President Trump had several good moments in the final debate, as Andrea Widburg noted in her excellent curation here.
"In my own view, the standout moment came last, when Trump just drew out Joe Biden on energy, first on fracking, and then on the entire energy industry, setting him up and then ... letting him keep talking.
"In response to debate moderator Kristen Welker's question about poor communities living downwind of refineries and having health issues, Trump spoke of the jobs that drew them to the area, which had some strength, but he might have added that any such issues were local issues in Democrat-run cities, underlining the importance of not voting for Democrats. It worked well enough, though.
"But what really helped him was when he got Joe Biden talking.
"Like a good probing moderator, Trump drew Biden out on what he really had in mind when he put out maudlin stories of the smokestack era of his youth, and Biden took the bait every time.

. . . "In fact, that's the single most disturbing aspect of the entire incident, and one that has no doubt caused many of us to be stricken with a new phobia: the fear of getting on Zoom meetings."
P.F. Whalen . . . "For clarity, and contrary to Ms. Lazarus's suggestion, it seems obvious that Toobin's race has had no role in his employers' disinterest in discipline or the media's lack of accountability. Toobin is getting a pass not because he is white, but because he is a leftist who hates Donald Trump and conservatives, and who works for CNN. If a non-white person had behaved similarly, he would likely be treated the same as Toobin, provided he were on the left. Imagine if an identical incident happened with a conservative legal pundit from Fox News. Would the media be satisfied with an explanation of "my mistake was not that I was playing with myself during a business meeting; I just screwed up by allowing my laptop's camera to show it"? We all know the answer.
"The larger tale is how this mindset continues to infect the entire left and its media. When email messages from Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and other Democrats at the DNC became public knowledge in 2016, the focus of Democrats and the mainstream media was not on the content of those emails, some of which was highly damaging to the Clinton campaign. No one from the DNC disputed their authenticity, but all the media wanted to talk about was how they were acquired. Those mean old Russians did this, and how dare they let the American public know the truth about how we operate?" . . .

Final thoughts on the debate: The moderator Kristen Welker was far better than the prior debate and town-hall moderators, in avoiding the scripted stuff like the Charlottesville distortions and ‘when did you stop beating your wife’ questions. That said, she interrupted Trump far more than she did Biden, and focused more on Biden-friendly questions. But most importantly, Trump kept his cool, was deferential to Welker, and was tough but not cruel to Biden.

Victor Davis Hanson "There was a low bar for Joe Biden in the first debate, given his cognitive challenges. Because he exceeded that pessimism, he won momentum.
"In opposite fashion, there was similarly an expectation that a disruptive Donald Trump would turn off the audience by the sort of interruptions and bullying that characterized the first debate.
"He did not do that. He instead let a cocky Biden sound off, and thus more or less tie himself into knots on a host of topics, but most critically on gas and oil. So likewise Trump will gain momentum by exceeding those prognoses.
"But far more importantly, the back-and-forth repartee will not matter other than Trump went toe to toe, but in a tough, dignified manner and beat Biden on points. Biden did not go blank — although he seemed to come close, often especially in the last 20 minutes. Had the debate gone another 30 minutes, his occasional lapses could have become chronic.
"What instead counts most are the days after. The debate take-aways, the news clips, the post facto fact checks, and the soundbites to be used in ads over the next ten days all favor Trump. In this regard, Biden did poorly and will suffer continual bleeding in the swing states.
"We will know that because by the weekend Biden will be out of his basement and trying to reboot his campaign and actually be forced to campaign.
"So we are going to hear over the next week that Biden simply denied the factual evidence of the Hunter Biden laptop computer, the emails, the cell phones, and the testimonies from some of the relevant players as a concocted smear, a Russian disinformation attack. That denial is clearly a lie. It is absolutely unsupportable. And Biden will have to drop that false claim.
"Biden will suffer for unequivocally denying what is now a demonstrable fact: there is evidence that his family ran a systematic shake-down operation to peddle inside access and influence for millions of foreign dollars in profits. In the debate, Biden seemed bewildered why anyone could ever conclude the obvious." . . .
. . . "I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to “the Big Guy” in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden." . .
"If the media and Big Tech companies had done their jobs over the past several weeks I would be irrelevant in this story. Given my long standing service and devotion to this great country, I could no longer allow my family’s name to be associated or tied to Russian disinformation or implied lies and false narratives dominating the media right now."
"I would ask the Biden family to address the American people and outline the facts so I can go back to being irrelevant," he wrote.
Sister Toldjah "Of all the post-presidential debate hot takes from Democrats last night, perhaps the most idiotic of them all was the one posted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the wee hours of the morning, over two hours after the debate between President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had concluded.
"Anyone who watched the hour and a half event knows that a wide range of topics were discussed, from fracking to Obamacare, to the Hunter Biden email scandal.
"But as per the norm, “Squad” leader AOC was narcissistically hellbent on not just making the debate about her, but also about yet again proclaiming herself to be a victim of sexism or something.
"Why? Because during the debate, President Trump had the nerve to call her by the name she uses on Twitter and in the hallways of Congress – AOC – rather than call her Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez." . . .
Mr. Trump explains the meaning of "coyote" to liberals
Democrats have left this nation a third-world country. TD
"It looks like the 130 nights of looting, rioting, and hell in downtown Portland were just a prelude to the kind of fury the Left will unleash if Joe Biden isn’t elected on November 3. The Resistance has promised a violent, nationwide hissy fit because “Trump must go. It’s as simple as that.”
"My advice is to vote early, stock up on boxed wine, and pop the popcorn.
"The Federalist first reported that the folks we last saw rioting outside the White House, setting the “president’s church” on fire, attacking people leaving a White House event, all while being given the tacit approval of the D.C. government, have left instructions for massive civil unrest if their candidate, Joe Biden, doesn’t win.
"Antifa, rioters, and other members of the Left are urged to swarm elections offices.
Find out where the votes will be counted where you live. Make a plan with others to get there and stay until all the votes are counted. And come up with a plan to create serious disruption if Trump really tries to steal the election!
"What they mean by if “Trump really tries to steal the election” is if he wins.
"The “Shut Down DC” group, which is disappearing its web content faster than you can say antifa, implores its followers across the country to vote on “November 3rd. After You Vote, Hit the Streets!” It appears that unrest, riots, and arson will happen anyway, regardless of what the polls say on Election Day. Just like every day in Portland." . . .
