Hillary's back...and planning the Dems' revenge

  Thomas Lifson  "Almost four years of stewing in bitter anger has not softened the edges on Hillary Clinton.  Retreating to long walks in the woods and the comforts of Chardonnay has done nothing to mellow her out.  On the contrary, with her plastic surgery falling apart, her cackle as robust as ever (a model for Kamala Harris), and her voice still able to strip paint, newly available video of her interview yesterday on Sirius/XM is the perfect warm-up for Halloween this weekend."

"If you dare, 4-plus minutes of video is [linked] below, in which she plans on "moving quickly" following the election victory she anticipates, on "the courts" and " everything, election reform, climate change, COVID relief, expanding health care, everything that we care about."

"Amusingly, she manages to forget that Joe Biden is the Dems' candidate:

But, you know, I've told the Obama campaign, I mean, the Obama — I've told the Biden campaign and the Biden transition, that they're going to have to move really fast because let's assume we take back the Senate.

Vietnamese Baptist Church Burned in Philadelphia During Black Lives Matter Riots

Vietnamese Baptist Church burns amid Philadelphia unrest

"PHILADELPHIA (BP) – The building of Vietnam Baptist Church in Philadelphia was burned Tuesday night (Oct. 27) during the second night of unrest in the city after the police shooting of a Black man Monday (Oct. 26).

"Pastor Philip Pham received a call Tuesday night from a church member whose friend had seen the flames and seven fire trucks surrounding the church.

“I have no idea why they attacked our church,” Pham said. “They burned it from the roof. They threw flammable chemicals on the roof and [flames] burned through the roof” and down through the rest of the building. He said the facility is a “total loss.”

Of primary concern to Pham were three hard drives. Since before purchasing the building in 2005, Vietnam Baptist Church has served as something of a community center each weekday, providing help with immigration paperwork, taxes and even marriage counseling.

“ 'I prayed right away: ‘God, please protect the hard drives,'” Pham recalled. “Other stuff can be recovered. But those files will never be recovered.”More than 15 years’ worth of information about hundreds of clients is on hard drives kept at the church. Pham said when he got the call about the fire, he immediately began praying that the hard drives would be spared.When firefighters finally let him in after the blaze was extinguished, Pham said he was amazed.

“ 'I saw the routers and modems and things surrounding the hard drives all burned, melted,” he said. “But that piece of hard drive, no harm. No harm at all. Just two feet above that, all melted. … That is amazing how God knows our needs and answers our prayers. He is an almighty God. He granted our prayer.” . . .

Girl Scouts deletes social media congratulations to Amy Coney Barrett on Supreme Court seat after angry backlash

Do you not fear for this nation yet?

CNBC

"And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

"The Girl Scouts on Wednesday night deleted social media posts congratulating conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett for her controversial appointment to the Supreme Court hours after the posts sparked a wave of angry comments — and some praise.

“Shame on Girl Scouts for promoting this. She represents the exact opposite of what we instill in our girls!” one woman wrote in reply to Girl Scouts’ Facebook post.

" 'The backlash began right after the Girls Scouts Twitter and Facebook feeds featured an image showing photos of Barrett and the only four other women who have served as justices on the high court. Those women included Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the liberal whose death last month opened the door for President Donald Trump to nominate Barrett for her seat.

“ 'Congratulations Amy Coney Barrett on becoming the 5th woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789,” the post said, ending with an emoji of hands raised up.

"The post was replicated on the group’s Facebook page, followed by a note saying, “Girl Scouts of the USA is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan organization.”

“ 'We are neither red nor blue, but Girl Scout GREEN. We are here to lift up girls and women.' ” . . .  Hat tip to Harley Standlee; Hangtown, CA

But I love to do it for the kids! Never Buy Girl Scout Cookies Again

. . . "Reader NinaBR comments:

I agree that you shouldn’t buy their cookies. As a former Girl Scout leader, I was shocked at how little of the money the girls make actually goes to the local troop. Most of it goes straight to the GSUSA national office. When one of those cute kids asks if you want to buy cookies in January, give them a cash donation to their troop instead. Yes, GSUSA national office is caving to wokeness, but they do not represent many of the leaders, parents, volunteers, and girls who are in their program–and it is still a good program, on the local level. MANY Girl Scout families are not happy with the direction the GSUSA has taken in the past 10 or so years. When I was a leader, I was part of several FB groups of others leaders who are at wits’ end with all of this.

Cookies are a fun part of Girl Scouts, but believe me, they’ll be just as happy when you hand them a crisp $20 bill that their troop can keep for themselves. . . .

Trump campaign unveils five-minute video compilation showing '38 times he has condemned racism and white supremacy'

UK Daily Mail  "The Trump campaign has released a video of the 38 times it says the President has denounced white supremacy.

"Donald Trump's disavowals date back to 2000 and include statements made during his 2016 campaign, as well as in the recent debates against Joe Biden.

"But in the first presidential debate, Trump last month provoked fury for a fumbled condemnation of Proud Boys – an alleged white supremacist group – who he told to 'stand back and stand by.' "

"Biden claims the reason he decided to run against Trump was because of his infamous line that there were 'very fine people' on both sides after a white supremacist killed a woman in Charlottesville in 2017 during violence between right-wingers and counter protesters."

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." . . .
