Kamala Harris Wanted to Put Pro-Lifers in Jail Who Exposed Planned Parenthood Selling Baby Parts

 LifeNews  "Did Kamala Harris use her political power as California attorney general to unfairly prosecute a pro-life advocate as a favor to Planned Parenthood? And would she do it again if elected vice president of the United States?

"A new video from the Center for Medical Progress raised questions about Harris’s actions Tuesday ahead of the first vice presidential debate.

"Harris is a U.S. Senator from California and former state attorney general. She also is Joe Biden’s vice presidential running mate on the Democrat ticket.

"The Washington Times reports the new video shows evidence of Harris following Planned Parenthood’s orders when her office raided the home of undercover pro-life journalist David Daleiden in 2016.

"Through the Center for Medical Progress, Daleiden’s investigation exposed a baby body parts trade and other questionable actions inside the largest abortion chain in the U.S., Planned Parenthood. The abortion chain has denied all allegations of wrong-doing.

"Now, Daleiden is facing felony charges and possible jail time for allegedly violating California recording laws, which require the consent of both parties unless they may “reasonably expect that the communication may be overheard.”

“ 'America’s biggest abortion business was desperate and furious, so they turned to their biggest patron, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, for help,” Daleiden said in the new video. “At Planned Parenthood’s special request, Kamala Harris targeted me to punish and silence my message about the abortion industry and fetal trafficking.' ” . . .

Reap What You Sow: Media Who Coddled Biden for Months Now Complain About Mistreatment

 Legal Insurrection

Journalists can’t all but act as lapdogs and apologists for a political campaign for months at a time and then all of a sudden expect the candidate to obediently start honoring media protocols and traditions.

"For the second time in a month, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has snapped at CBS News reporter Bo Erickson.

"The first time it happened was in mid-October after Biden had done some campaign stops in Michigan. As Biden prepared to board his private jet, Erickson stepped up to the plate and asked him about what no other reporter would: The New York Post’s explosive story on Hunter Biden’s laptop and the emails that were discovered on it.

“ 'Mr. Biden, what is your response to the New York Post story about your son, sir?” Erickson inquired of the former Vice President.

“ 'I know you’d ask it,” Biden sneered. “I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.”

"It happened again on Friday. Biden and his vice presidential running mate Kamala Harris held a meeting in Delaware with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to formulate a game plan for their legislative priorities in the event Biden and Harris are certified next month as the winners of the presidential election.

"As is often the case with Biden, press availability was severely limited – 50 seconds, to be exact. Reporters were dismissed not long after the “meeting” started, but Erickson did manage to sneak a question in.

“ 'Mr. Biden, the COVID task force said it’s safe for students to be in class. Are you going to be encouraging unions to cooperate more to bring kids back to classrooms, sir?” Erickson asked.

"Instead of answering, here’s how Biden responded: “Why are you the only guy that always shouts out questions?”

"Pelosi laughed as reporters and photographers including Erickson were herded out of the room like cattle. You could hear one of Biden’s handlers ordering them around as though she was operating a daycare. “Let’s go guys. Out!' ” . . .

Border Patrol reports ‘Biden’ migrant surge along southwest boundary already underway

 BPR  "U.S. immigration authorities say they are beginning to see an uptick in illegal border crossings from Mexico, as it appears as though migrants are anticipating major changes in policy under a potential Joe Biden administration.

"“Border Patrol agents are already seeing a Biden surge in illegal immigration at the southwest border, officials said Thursday, with the numbers surging 21% over the last month alone,” the Washington Times reported."

. . . "Morgan suggested those kinds of policy change pledges are resonating south of the border.

“ 'Make no mistake, that is going to sound the alarm that our borders are open,” he said, according to the Times. “You will see a crisis that makes last year’s crisis look like child’s play. And you can take that to the bank.”

"Biden is also planning to target the Migrant Protection Protocols, which are known as the Trump administration’s “remain in Mexico” policy. Under its provisions, CBP officers were allowed to send tens of thousands of migrants to Mexico where they waited for their U.S. immigration hearing.

"Morgan said that policy alone was responsible for dramatically curbing migrant caravans because it took away a key incentive — gaining a foothold in the U.S." . . .

Can Dems finally repudiate 'The Squad'?

But the more influence they are allowed, the worse it is for Democrats. Thinking ahead to 2022, when they might be facing the usual midterm punishment for the party in charge of the White House, party leaders fear that AOC might deliver control of the House to the GOP. She might not be around to care since many observers believe that she will mount a Senate primary challenge to Schumer.

Jewish World Review

"Not everybody in the Democratic Party is in love with "The Squad."

"Even as they celebrated their apparent victory in the presidential election, some Democrats spent the days after the voting complaining about the role that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and their leftist allies played in reducing their party's numbers in Congress.

"Moderates have made no secret about their resentment over the derailing of what many Democrats expected would be a "blue wave" in 2020. That raises questions about whether or not some of the party's most popular figures will continue to be able to exercise influence that is way out of proportion with their numbers in Congress, as they have in the last two years.

"If so, and that is far from a certainty, it might also mean that pro-Israel Democrats will finally start standing up to and marginalizing these radicals, rather than appeasing them.

"Instead of the Democrats increasing their majority in the House, they suffered a severe setback as Republicans gained what may amount to as many as 12 seats once all the races are finally decided. Moderates like Reps. Conor Lamb (D-Pa.) and Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) believe that their party suffered specifically because of AOC and her followers. Despite what happened at the top of the ticket, Democrats in competitive districts suffered from having to answer questions about whether they shared convictions of "The Squad" about defunding the police, critical race theory and massive spending programs.

"Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), chair of the House Democratic Caucus, was equally blunt. He, too, blamed the "Socialist agenda" of "Internet personalities" on the left for his party's losses." . . .

Ilhan Omar Urges Biden to ‘Reverse’ President Trump’s Middle East Agreements "Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) revealed her ignorance once again when she slammed President Trump’s foreign policy. While most Democrats and left-leaning media outlets largely ignore the president’s peace deals and other successes in the Middle East, Omar thought she would take a crack at it. 

"On Friday, Omar posted a series of tweets lambasting the president for ironing out agreements that were supposedly not “peace deals” but arms deals. In her rant, she called on Biden to reverse these agreements if he becomes the next president. " . . .

Moreover, it seems clear that like her colleagues on other issues, Omar’s objection to Trump’s foreign policy is based more on partisan politics than anything else. Not only did Trump pave the way for even more peace deals for Israel, he has not started any new wars in the Middle East or anywhere else. 

New York Gov. Cuomo says that his word is law, bans gatherings of more than 10 people just in time for Thanksgiving

 

Rich Terrell

Eric Utter  "In response to the recent spread of the coronavirus, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that all social gatherings in the state, including those in private homes, would be limited to a maximum of ten people. That the order is unconstitutional bothered him not at all.

Apparently, it did, however, bother some law enforcement officers, a number of whom have said they will not enforce Killer Cuomo’s decree. Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino was among them. Giardino stated via a Facebook post: “With regard to the Thanksgiving Executive Order, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office will NOT be enforcing it against our County residents.” Washington County Sheriff Jeff Murphy, Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard, and Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo shared Giardino’s sentiments, according to the New York Post." . . .

..."Governors (and mayors) like Cuomo certainly should not be able to renege on their sworn promise to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States without facing the consequences.

Instead, he will be presented with an “International Emmy award“ in recognition of his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic & his masterful use of TV to inform & calm people around the world.”

As someone once said: “Beam me up, Scotty, there’s no intelligent life here.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) to receive award for killing senior citizens

More awards are sure to come.  For masterfully calming people around the world as New Yorkers' loved ones needlessly die while prohibiting family gatherings for this year's Thanksgiving, Cuomo will undoubtedly soon be the recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize, joining such other notables as President Barack Hussein Obama (D) who received it after eight months in office and Yasser Arafat for a lifetime of preaching hate, conducting war.

An Election Without a Mandate

 Anders Koskinen

"Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman somehow contorted the mixed, and yet unresolved, 2020 election results to simultaneously claim that mandates do not really exist, but that Joe Biden nonetheless has one.

"It is important to refute this spurious claim because Biden and Kamala Harris will use any excuse they can to push a laundry list of progressive legislation and executive branch rulemaking. Americans should not allow this, especially under such a false pretense.

"In the first part of his article, Waldman claims that mandates are mostly an artificial political construct. He may be correct in this assessment, but then he states that Republicans “know that if you act like you have a mandate, then you do.” It is far more accurate to make this phrase conditional. Two things are necessary to have a mandate: the votes to push your agenda through and the political will to do so.

"The Washington Post column then lapses into a series of ill-founded assumptions and statistical half-truths seeking to provide a data-driven justification for a Biden mandate, thus marching the opposite direction of the notion that acting like you have a mandate delivers it to you.

"Firstly, there is the claim that Biden won “despite the extraordinary voter suppression effort” of Republicans. Waldman’s own publication contradicts this claim of voter suppression, reporting that the 2020 election saw at least a 63 percent turnout, a rate not seen since the 1960s. The counting process is ongoing, but if the Post is right in its estimate that final vote totals will eclipse a 66 percent turnout rate, this may end up being the election with the highest participation rate in living memory.

"Such a high turnout is a function of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the fact that progressive and liberal causes achieved nearly everything they wanted in terms of extended early voting periods and lower-security mail-in ballot efforts. A projected 161 million Americans voted in the 2020 presidential election, 23 million more than in 2016. Really it makes far more sense to argue that Biden won because of changes to election laws this year than it does to say he won in spite of them." . . .

Beijing Sends Biden a Warning

  Patrick J. Buchanan

"Because of Donald Trump, Vice President Joe Biden thundered during the campaign, the U.S. "is more isolated in the world than we've ever been ... America First has made America alone." Biden promised to repair relations with America's allies. And he appears to have gone some distance to do so in the congratulatory phone call he received from Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga of Japan.

"According to Suga, during the brief call, Biden said Article V of the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty of 1960 covers the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, islands Japan controls but China claims as its own. "President-elect Biden gave me a commitment that Article 5 of the US-Japan security treaty applies to the Senkaku Islands," said a delighted Suga. And what does Article V commit us to?

" 'Each Party recognizes that an armed attack against either Party in the territories under the administration of Japan would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger..." 

"Message: The U.S. will treat a Chinese attempt to take the Senkakus, tiny rocky outcroppings in the East China Sea, as an attack on the USA, and America will fight China to secure Japan's right to keep the islands. Biden has removed any ambiguity that may have existed and given Tokyo a U.S. war guarantee that covers the Senkakus. The response of China's foreign ministry was to angrily lay claim to the islands they call the Diaoyus as "inherently Chinese" and to dismiss the U.S.-Japan security treaty as a "product of the Cold War."    

"This diplomatic clash comes as Henry Kissinger was warning the Bloomberg Economic Forum: "America and China are now drifting increasingly toward confrontation, and they're conducting their diplomacy in a confrontational way. ... The danger is that some crisis will occur that will go beyond rhetoric into actual military conflict." Kissinger continued: "Unless there is some basis for some cooperative action, the world will slide into a catastrophe comparable to World War I." World War I was the worst calamity in Western civilization – until the next war to which it led inexorably: World War II.

"Last week, we also learned that during Chinese military exercises in August, the People's Liberation Army fired two missiles thousands of kilometers from the mainland that struck a targeted merchant ship sailing in the South China Sea. The missiles were the DF-21D and DF-26B. Both missiles are known as "aircraft carrier killers."      

"The U.S. routinely moves its carriers through these waters to underscore our contention that neither the South China Sea nor the Paracel and Spratly Islands within belong to China as Beijing claims." . . .

Megyn Kelly Pulls Her Kids Out of NYC Schools Over Left-Wing Political Indoctrination

 Legal Insurrection

“It’s so out of control on so many levels, and after years of resisting it, we’re going to leave the city”

"Former FOX News host Megyn Kelly recently revealed on her podcast that she has pulled two of her children out of their private New York City school over what she sees as political propaganda. She even says she is leaving the city.

"The document she describes, and claims was circulated to parents and school staff, is the same sort of social justice rhetoric we regularly document in higher education.

"Michael W. Chapman writes at CNS News:

Megyn Kelly Pulls Kids From NYC School, Says Radical Left Racial Ideas Being Promoted

Former NBC and FNC lead correspondent Megyn Kelly, who now hosts the Megyn Kelly Show podcast, said she pulled her two sons from their school in New York City because the school leaders are promoting radical racial ideas that apparently posit that white children are racist and need to be “reformed.”

“It’s so out of control on so many levels, and after years of resisting it, we’re going to leave the city,” Kelly said on her Nov. 16 podcast. “We pulled our boys from their school, and our daughter is going to be leaving hers soon, too. The schools have always been far left, which doesn’t align with my own ideology, but I didn’t really care. Most of my friends are liberals; it’s fine. I come from Democrats as a family.”

Kelly then explained that administrators at her sons’ school — which she did not name — were promoting an article to the faculty by Nahliah Webber, executive director of the Orleans Public Education Network. In the article, Webber promotes myriad racist ideas about “white children” who grow up to snuff out “Black life.”…

She continued, “White children are left unchecked and unbothered in their schools, homes and communities to join, advance and protect systems that take away Black life. … I’m tired of White people reveling in their state-sanctioned depravity, snuffing out Black life with no consequences….”

US Army seizes Dominion servers in Germany, Trump lawyer vows, ‘I’m going to release the Kraken’

 US Army seizes Dominion servers in Germany, Trump lawyer vows, ‘I’m going to release the Kraken’   November 14, 2020/in Courts & Law, Elections, Must Read, Policy, Politics 

"The evidence for massive voter fraud continues to pile up, and these two new developments could break the whole thing wide open. The Dominion servers may reveal just how extensive the fraud was — they could be the gamechanger. And Trump lawyer Sidney Powell says it’s “irrefutable” that Trump won in a landslide. The media’s desperate attempts to discredit all claims of fraud, dismissing them with hasty and shoddy rationalizations, and to shut down all discussion of the matter shows how close the Trump team is to exposing the entire massive enterprise. Freedom, and the future of the nation itself, hang in the balance.

. . .  “‘I’m Going to Release the Kraken.’ Trump Attorney Declares War on Voter Fraud,” Todd Starnes, November 13, 2020:

This is a must-watch interview between Lou Dobbs and Sidney Powell, a member of the Trump legal team.

The allegations of voter fraud in the presidential election are staggering, folks.

“President Trump won this election in a landslide,” Powell said. “It’s irrefutable.”

There needs to be a massive criminal investigation and it’s going to affect millions of voters, she said.

“I’m going to release the Kraken,” she declared. “It is indeed a very foul mess. It is farther and wider and deeper than we ever thought. But we are going to after it and I am going to expose every one of them.”…

What Does Sidney Powell Mean by Release The Kraken?  "Release The Kraken phrase simply means revealing the dark truth, or revealing the big dark secret. Kraken is a legendary cephalopod-like sea monster of a gigantic size that terrorizes nearby sailors and believes to be strong and capable of destroying heavy and strong things like Boats and Ships. (Source: What is Kraken? Michael Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell threatens to 'release the Kraken' against Dominion vote fraud) So, if someone saying they are going to Release The Kraken, then that means they are going to reveal some wrong-doing of someone which is making a huge impact. For example:-

• OMG, she is with another man and still, her husband doesn’t know about it. I think I should Release The Kraken.
• He is playing a double game. We should Release The Kraken and show his real face to everyone.
• There are lots of voter fraud conspiracy theories these days. But why don’t they Release The Kraken if what they are saying is true?  . . .

What is Kraken? Michael Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell threatens to 'release the Kraken' against Dominion vote fraud    "In modern terms, the phrase 'release the Kraken' also means to kick someone's a** or to take a dump, is that what Michael Flynn's attorney meant?"

Los Angeles Area Sheriffs Refuse to Enforce Gov. Newsom’s Ridiculous Coronavirus Curfew

 RedState

"Well, that didn’t take long. 

"Less than a week after the Sacramento County Sheriff announced that his office would not be enforcing California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID curfew, more departments followed suit. In fact, most law enforcement agencies in southern California have indicated that they have no intention of looking for people violating the curfew. 

"Reporter Bill Melugin with Fox’s Los Angeles affiliate, KTTV-11, posted a series of tweets announcing that a slew of sheriff’s offices have told the news outlet they will not enforce Newsom’s orders. 

“ 'We’ve now heard from every Sheriff in our SoCal viewing area. San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura, & Riverside Counties will not actively enforce the curfew order. LA Sheriff will take a voluntary compliance/education first approach, will not make any arrests related to order @FOXLA,” he wrote.

"It appears that the only police agencies who will enforce the order are those of Costa Mesa and Irvine. It seems that these Orange County cities don’t mind a little Marxism in their lives. " . . .

..."So far, sheriff’s offices in Sacramento and most of southern California have publicly stated that they will not go along with Newsom’s onerous COVID-19 restrictions. This trend is also occurring in other states like New York. 

"Democratic governors have been responsible for some of the worst restrictions under which Americans have had to live since the outbreak began earlier this year. Now, it appears even other government officials have grown weary of the restrictions, which have resulted in severe economic problems. The more people that push back against these mandates, the harder it will be for these governors to intrude in the lives of their citizens. Let’s have more of this, please." 

A word with Elise Stefanik, Parts 1 and 2

How the Pink Wave Turned Red

Power Line Blog  . . . "I asked Rep. Stefanik whether singling out women candidates for support was a function of identity politics. She said the depleted ranks of Republican women in Congress did not reflect the party’s support by women voters. She looks for strong conservative Republican women candidates and stays out of races where they are lacking or where the Republican man is the superior candidate to a woman. She thinks that her emphasis on quality represents a recipe for success. “You can look at the proof,” she said, citing the number of seats flipped by outstanding women candidates in targeted races this year.

She gave President Trump “huge credit” for his work in broadening the Republican coalition and energizing voters of all stripes to turn out to vote this year, but pointed “number 1” to the quality of the candidates. She noted their fire in the belly and will to serve. She emphasized the sexist abuse directed at Republican women from the Pelosi PAC and others on the left as sexist smears are heaped on them.

Such smears are indulged on the left when aimed right, she said, and she was speaking from personal experience. She was the target of a smear campaign originated by George Conway during the impeachment proceedings. Conway called her “lying trash.” See the unedifying exchanges documented here by USA Today.

"I’d like to save the rest of my notes for a concluding post tomorrow. Please check back for more in the morning."

A word with Elise Stefanik part 2  . . . "I mentioned to Rep. Stefanik how much I admired women standing up to run for office on our side because of the abuse to which they subject themselves. Unlike their Democratic counterparts, the abuse won’t be offset by features glamorizing them in the fashion magazines. We’re not holding our breath for Stefanik’s 2020 class to be featured by Glamour in a shot like this one, for example.

“You need a thick skin,” she said, “and it’s not just women.” She cited Senator Tim Scott. “They are vicious and vile” — you know who “they” are — “and they can get away with it because the media allow them to.”

She noted that Nancy Pelosi’s super PAC devoted special attention to fending off Republican women candidates. This is the subtext of the Politico story “Pelosi-aligned super PAC adds $18M to fall ad buys.”

POLITICS NOV. 12, 2020 How the Pink Wave Turned Red  ..."The GOP did indeed have a historic Election Night: There will be at least 13 Republican non-incumbent women in the freshman class of the House of Representatives in 2021, surpassing the party’s previous record of nine such candidates in 2010. This brings the total number to 26 — woefully behind Democrats, who will have 88 women in the House in 2021 (down one from 2018), but Republican women — who helped flip at least six seats — are being touted as an emergent force."...

Actor Ricky Schroder Helped Get Kyle Rittenhouse Out Of Jail

The son of Obama's friend Bill Ayers is unhappy. Perhaps killing a policeman would have been more to their liking.

"Via NY Post:

Actor Ricky Schroder and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell both helped get Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse out of jail on a $2 million bond Friday, according to a report.

The baby-faced gunman — who faces murder charges in the Aug. 25 shooting during Black Lives Matter protests in the Wisconsin city — posed for a pic with the “NYPD Blue” actor after the bond was posted by his lawyers on Friday, CBS affiliate WBBM-TV reported.

Lin Wood, one of Rittenhouse’s lawyers, posted the photo on Twitter shortly before 9 p.m.

“FREE AT LAST!!!” Wood wrote on the post, which shows a smiling Rittenhouse standing between Schroder and attorney John Pierce.

 San Fran DA Slings Biggest Bunch of Bull Against Kyle Rittenhouse  "San Francisco was a once beautiful city that I enjoyed visiting.

"But with Democrats in charge, it has since descended into a needle and poop-infested pithole.

"It’s also going to get even worse with the San Francisco District Attorney now responsible for prosecuting crime in the city since he was voted in last year. Chesa Boudin ran on a platform that he would eliminate criminal prosecution for “quality of life” crimes.
