Election do-overs

 

After Watching Biden's GA Rally, You'll Get Why 'Can I Change My Vote' Was Trending on Google   . . . "During his speech, Biden told supporters, “A season of protest has broken out all across the nation. Some of it is just senseless burning and looting and violence that can’t be tolerated, and won’t. But much of it is a cry for justice from a community that’s long had a knee of injustice on their neck.”

"Kind of like how the Chinese would have their knee on the neck of the very compromised Joe Biden?"

Mary Beth Brown: Will Christians Regret Voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?  "Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is running television and radio ads touting his faith, trying to convince Christian voters of his devout faith to solicit their votes, but the facts tell a different story." . . .

Parents Of Man Killed By Illegal Immigrant Kicked Out Of Kamala Harris’ Office

RedState  "Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has been an outspoken supporter of DREAMers enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. But it appears that she lacks the same level of sympathy for the parents of Americans killed by immigrants who illegally enter the country. 

"Breitbart News reported that two Angel Parents — people who have lost children to illegal immigrants — attempted to visit Harris’ office on January 15, 2019, but were summarily rebuffed by members of her staff. Sabine Durden and Don Rosenberg told the news outlet that the senator ignored them when they stopped by her office during a visit to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) office. 

"Durden’s son, 30-year-old Dominic, was killed by an illegal alien in 2012 in California. As RedState readers might recall, Rosenberg’s son, 25-year-old Drew, was killed by an illegal alien in 2010 in California.

"When the two angel parents walked by Harris’ Senate office, they saw a sign that read, “DREAMers are welcome here” in Spanish. Durden took a picture of the sign while placing her son’s photo next to it. 

"The two parents told Breitbart that one of Harris’ staffers greeted them when they walked into the office, holding pictures of their sons. “I said ‘They used to have big dreams until they were killed by illegal aliens,’” Durden said.

"Rosenberg said to the staffer, “I see DREAMers are welcome here; what about nightmares?” referring to the killing of his son by an illegal immigrant. “I said, ‘We’re living a nightmare because our kids were both killed by illegal aliens.’” He recalled that the staffer froze after hearing this statement. Durden told the person that they were Harris’ constituents. " . . .

Press ordered not to cover Biden laptop scandal.

NPR says it won’t cover Hunter Biden news because it's a 'waste' of time  "Yes, allegations that the 2020 Democratic nominee may have used the office of the vice president to line his family’s pockets is apparently a nonstory, unlike, say, “binders full of women” or “Seamus the dog.' ” . . .

NPR and USA Today Refuse to Cover Hunter Biden Corruption Scandal  "In addition, op-ed columnist for USA Today Glenn Harlan Reynolds also was refused to run his regular column on Hunter Biden this week.

'Reynolds published it anyway, via another platform:

“SO USA TODAY DIDN’T WANT TO RUN MY HUNTER BIDEN COLUMN THIS WEEK. My regular editor is on vacation, and I guess everyone else was afraid to touch it. So I’m sending them another column next week, and just publishing this one here. Enjoy! This is as filed, with no editing from USAT

Piers Morgan says he was cancelled abruptly by CNN after he nailed networks for burying Biden news  "Piers Morgan claims that he was uninvited by CNN because he accused the Biden-boosting U.S. corporate media during a Fox & Friends interview of hyper-partisanship over efforts to downplay or outright censor the scandal involving Hunter Biden’s overseas business deals that allegedly may implicate Joe Biden." . . . 

Why Big Media Will Never Report On Hunter Biden’s Emails   "The corporate media has refused to cover the substance of the New York Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s recovered laptop and emails, not because there’s nothing to the story or because the emails are fake, but because the story itself is, on its face, harmful to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

"That’s not to say news outlets haven’t been writing about the Post’s reporting. They’ve simply decided to cover the meta-narrative—the story about the story—while studiously ignoring what Hunter Biden’s emails reveal about his family’s overseas business dealings and influence-peddling.

"Here’s how it works. Instead of aggressive follow-up reporting on the content of Hunter Biden’s emails, which is what you’d expect from news organizations, we’ve gotten a wave of process stories about the “anatomy” of the Post’s “dubious” reporting, censorship stories about Twitter and Facebook, and wild conspiracy theory stories about a rumored Russian disinformation plot." . . .

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Tony Bobulinski is must-see TV

 Andrea Widburg

(As an aside, and separate from the Bobulinski interview, a former CIA operations office believes it’s entirely possible that Biden was already doing China’s bidding in 2012, when the Obama administration gave China free rein in the South China Sea.)

"On Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson did something he’d never done before: He dedicated his entire show to a single interview. The person he interviewed was Tony Bobulinski, an experienced international businessman who found himself working with Hunter Biden, James Biden, and others on a deal between the Biden group and CEFC, a Chinese energy company with ties to the Communist government and the military. Bobulinski powerfully confirms that Joe Biden was deeply involved in the transaction, which had its beginnings when Joe was still Vice President.

"Fox News has not yet uploaded (and may never upload) the interview in its entirety. However, the four videos below bring together almost everything from the interview.

"Tucker opened by making the point that he was dedicating his show to the Bobulinski interview because the rest of the American media are assiduously ignoring the story, downplaying it, or claiming it’s a Russian smear. The leader of the Russian smear approach is, naturally, Rep. Adam Schiff, a man who has all the hallmarks of a conscienceless psychopath. Ironically, it was Schiff’s smear about Hunter Biden’s hard drive that led Bobulinski, a Democrat, to go public with his story." . . .

. . . "If we had a decent media, this story would be on every front page and at the top of every news hour. Instead, Bobulinski is trying desperately to get Americans to know that he is not a Russian agent and that Joe Biden was in bed with the Communist Chinese government, starting when he was Vice President and continuing after he left the White House. This screenshot from Memeorandum shows that none of the legacy media outlets are touching the story:


SF DA Chesa Boudin surveys crime victims on how to make life easier for their attackers

Well, there's crime reduction, and then there is crime reduction. TD

Stilton's Place

Monica Showalter  "Chesa Boudin, the radical left-wing San Francisco District Attorney on whose watch San Francisco has become a crime-infested Caracas-like hellhole, is starting to draw criticism from crime victims for his unwillingness to prosecute crimes. And adding insult to injury, he's now using them as fodder for a survey on how to make their attackers' lives better. " . . .

What's 'restorative justice'? Well, rather than put criminals in jail, the victim and criminal are supposed to talk it out, and apologies are not required of the offenders. Which is pretty much why every hoodlum on the street in San Francisco, is ... still on the street. Felonies, not petty theft, are solved through "other actions."

And with few ever prosecuted, cops are refusing to apprehend violent criminals: Why stick your neck out when the DA just throws the cases out or calls you the problem?

That's why young Chesa is busy touting crime in the city being down as a result of his defund-the-police, zero-incarceration, restorative justice philosophy and now trying to snooker the victims into saying they support him." . . .

But not a problem for young Chesa, a lily-white leftist male whose father is in prison for murdering a black cop in the infamous Weathermen Brink's robbery of 1981, who now shows similar disregard for the lives of women. Call it communist family values, and hope to heaven this guy never gets elected to any office beyond San Francisco.

The spirit of Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue remains for all Jews


 Ethel C. Fenig   "Yesterday was the second anniversary (on the secular calendar) of the massacre of 11 unarmed congregants at the Tree of Life synagogue by a non Jewish, weapon bearing, white supremacist  in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Based on the Jewish calendar, which, as a lunar calendar, is slightly different, the Jewish anniversary of this event will be next week, Thursday, November 5. .  It was the deadliest attack against Jews in the U.S. in American history.  

"The name Tree of Life metaphorically refers that for Jews,  the Torah (loosely, the Jewish "Bible"),  as stated in Proverbs, 18th verse,  "She is a tree of life to those who hold on to her."   At the time the synagogue building also hosted several smaller congregations,  which met separately, in addition to the named one.  Although the building remains closed, the other congregations continue, renting space in other synagogues in the area.
 
"In accordance with Jewish law and custom, the city's Jewish community commemorated the anniversary in a positive manner  
 with volunteer service projects and public Torah study sessions.
 
"But because of the coronavirus, those Torah studies will take place on Zoom. A public commemoration sponsored by the 10.27 Healing Partnership will also be virtual, livestreaming at 7 p.m. on the anniversary.

"May the victims' souls be bound up in the bond of eternal life and their memories be for a blessing. " 
 

Flashback: Remember When Obama Wanted NASA To Make Muslims 'Feel Good'?

 Aside from the Muslim controversy, Obama’s handling of NASA was a massive failure in the eyes of many of those who helped to make the United States the world’s leader in space.

Western Journal  . . . "Whatever you think of Trump’s Space Force plan, it makes a heck of a lot more sense than the bizarre space policy put out by his predecessor just over eight years ago.

"Former President Barack Obama told his NASA chief that the agency’s “foremost” goal was to improve relations with the Muslim world and make Muslims “feel good.”

"In an interview with Al-Jazeera on June 30, 2010, Charlie Bolden said that when he took over as NASA administrator, Obama “charged me with three things.”

" 'One,” Bolden said, “he wanted me to help reinspire children to want to get into science and math.

“ 'He wanted me to expand our international relationships."

“ 'And third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering.”

"Needless to say, the idea that Obama wanted NASA — the illustrious space agency of the greatest nation on earth — to focus its energies on making Muslims “feel good” didn’t go over very well." . . .   Full article...

Barack Obama Reminds Republicans Why They Can't Stand Him

 Obama isn’t dumb. He knows what he’s saying are lies in this instance, and he also knows not a single media “fact-checker” will dare call him out for them. Thus are the perks of being a Democrat. One thing is for though. Barack Obama made sure to remind every Republican exactly why they so opposed him for eight years.

 RedState  "There’s an odd phenomenon when it comes to politicians who leave office. Typically, due to their exiting of the spotlight, even the most reviled figures end up becoming liked by a large majority of the population. Of course, that depends on the politician deciding to hold up their part of the bargain by fading away gracefully. George W. Bush, once routinely compared to Hitler by the left-wing during his two terms as president, is an example of someone who’s largely done it right and has seen his reputation rebound.

"But Barack Obama is taking a different path, apparently deciding that he wants to remind everyone who once opposed him exactly why they can’t stand him. That happened in the context of a campaign rally for Joe Biden this morning in Florida.

"Here are some of the highlights."

OBAMA: "When Russia puts bounties on the heads of our soldiers in Afghanistan, the commander-in-chief can’t be MIA: missing in action. Joe Biden would never call the men and women of our military suckers or losers."
https://twitter.com/i/status/1321127548177338369

Obama’s delivery is as jarring and annoying as ever. He always comes across like a schoolmarm, chastising those who would dare to disappoint him, and that attitude existed in spades during this speech. But what’s most noteworthy here is just how transparent of a liar he is.

. . . "Both stories he references here have been proven false (see That Bombshell Russian Bounty Story Was Just Officially Shown to Be Garbage). There is no actual intelligence, and the Pentagon has actually come to the opposite conclusion, that the Russians were paying bounties for the deaths of American troops in Afghanistan. The story itself never made any sense anyway, as the Taliban didn’t require motivation to try to kill Americans. Yet, Obama repeats that fake news story without even a hint of care that what he’s saying is blatantly false." . . .


     



New Trump Ad Reminds Voters the Biden Team Bailed Out Rioters

 Katie Pavlich  "The Trump campaign is out with a new campaign ad exposing former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris as enablers of rioting across the country. In fact, the ad features headlines about a rioter bail fund that was promoted on Twitter by Harris and Biden staffers. Worse, Biden staffers took part in the rioting. "




 . . . "Riots over the summer were the most expensive in U.S. history, totaling more than $2 billion in damages." . . . 

The Media’s Smear Job Campaigning for Joe Biden

"The media must answer for the most egregious smear job in the history of the democratic world."

Conrad Black  "As the national political media have conducted practically the entire Democratic presidential election campaign, the credibility of the media is entirely implicated in the election result. In the latest revelations about the financial activities of the Biden family while presidential candidate Joe Biden was the vice president, the national political media and the principal social media companies have sandbagged another large media company, News Corporation’s New York Post, and have tried to impose online silence on the White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. 

"The media either had to suppress the story to maintain support for their candidate and continue to make his campaign for him, or give normal attention to such a well-attested story and probably sink his candidacy—effectively their joint candidacy. If they had chosen the second course of action and treated Biden as they would have treated Trump or any previous presidential candidate mired in such allegations, the Biden candidacy almost certainly would be doomed. In going full metal jacket to ignore the story and to maintain Biden in their candidate protection program, the major media and the executives behind them are putting the credibility and ultimately the value of their franchises on the line.

"If Biden is elected, his premeditated lie that he had never discussed his son’s business dealings in Ukraine or other foreign countries will be evident and undeniable, but not significant. There will be no further legal proceedings and while a couple of Senate committees may continue to poke the question, even that will stop if the Democrats emerge from the election with the majority of the Senate. Similarly, the Durham special counsel investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russian collusion allegations, which has been inexcusably prolonged, will also undoubtedly be swept under the carpet no matter what Durham’s findings are. Even though it is now clear that the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, knew when she was circulating the Steele dossier that its chief
source was a Russian government agent, these facts appear not to matter. 

"Similarly, while there is a bipartisan consensus about some aspects of the unhealthy influence social media has on public opinion formation in the United States, if Biden wins, the post-electoral examination of the role of social media will be comparatively gentle. That is the least the Democrats could do for these immensely influential executives who have carried water on both shoulders for their unfeasible candidate." . . .

The Shocking Bias and Incompetence of Our Public Schools

 Power Line Blog  "With an election impending, the public schools are teaching our children about the issues and the candidates. One of their primary tools is Scholastic Magazine, which I think is read by millions of school children and is the basis for instruction in countless classrooms. A friend alerted me to the fact that the current issue includes profiles of President Trump and Joe Biden and describes their positions on several issues.

"This is what our children are being told about President’s Trump’s position on “Racial Justice”:

The long history of unjust treatment of Black people in America is a major focus of this election.

This past spring, in the wake of police killings of Black Americans, huge protests erupted across the country in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Meanwhile, the coronavirus pandemic has seriously underscored the widespread problem of racial inequality in the United States. Data show that people of color are contracting and dying of the virus at the highest rates, largely because of the wealth gap that exists between white people and people of color. Many Americans of all races are now demanding an end to police violence and other injustices toward Black people in this country.

"That’s the preface. This is an issue, according to Scholastic Magazine, on which there is only one possible perspective.

In June, President Trump signed an executive order encouraging police departments to change how they train officers and use force. But overall, he has defended law enforcement…

High stakes: Netanyahu, Israelis closely watching U.S. election with nervous hearts

 Washington Times

 President Donald Trump welcomes visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House 

. . . "In a country where President Trump is broadly popular, Mr. Netanyahu may be among the foreign leaders with the most at stake — and the most to lose — in U.S. elections next week. 

"Mr. Trump’s image in Israel got another boost Friday when Sudan became the third Arab country in two months to announce plans to move to normalize relations with Israel, the latest fruit of U.S. diplomacy aimed at ending Israel’s isolation in the region and building up a coalition to confront strategic foe Iran.

"By moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, renouncing the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and radically scaling back U.S. opposition to Israeli settlements in Palestinian-claimed land, the Trump administration has forged a strong bond with Mr. Netanyahu, who had an often prickly relationship with President Obama." . . ."
