Ginsburg died on Friday from pancreatic cancer at the age of 87. Many have questioned why she did not step down under former President Barack Obama, especially prior to 2015 when Obama was working with a Democrat-controlled Senate. Ginsburg’s dying wish was, reportedly, that “I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” according to her daughter, Jane.
Ginsburg continued to sit on the court through 2016 in part because she did not believe President Trump would win the election, Jane told The New York Times.
“I think that Mother, like many others, expected that Hillary Clinton would win the nomination and the presidency, and she wanted the first female president to name her successor,” she said in an email. Jane also said her mother never voiced regret over her decision to stay on the court after Trump won.
Many of Ginsburg’s fans, supporters, and friends disagreed with the judge’s decision to stay on the court for so long, especially after several bouts of serious illness and cancer. Few, if any, of them ever spoke publicly of their “dismay” at Ginsburg’s decision, however, according to former New York Times editorial writer Dorothy Samuels. Samuels began interviewing friends and acquaintances of the justice in 2018 in preparation for a book on Ginsburg’s life.
“I was struck by how many people I spoke with, including friends, acquaintances and former clerks, felt she should have resigned at the time and that her staying on was terribly self-centered — a view I share,” Samuels told The New York Times. “I was also struck that normally forceful advocates I spoke with would not express their dismay on the record while she was alive.” While she was alive, Ginsburg dismissed assertions that she should have retired under Obama and allowed a Democratic president to pick her successor. In a 2014 interview with Elle Magazine, she claimed that Obama could “not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court” because of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees, which would require 60 votes for confirmation. Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had scrapped the rule for lower-court federal judges in 2013, but it technically remained in place for the Supreme Court. Ginsburg’s death has ignited a political battle in Washington, D.C., as President Trump and Senate Republicans prepare to nominate and confirm a justice to fill her empty seat ahead of the election. After days of uncertainty over whether Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could pull together the votes to confirm another justice, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) announced that he would support a vote on a nominee, all but assuring that a qualified nominee from the White House will be confirmed. “My decision regarding a Supreme Court nomination is not the result of a subjective test of ‘fairness’ which, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It is based on the immutable fairness of following the law, which in this case is the Constitution and precedent,” Romney said in a statement on Tuesday. “If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications.”

Thank you so much to the Brooklyn Center Police Department, Minnesota for helping us get our family out of the house, and a special thanks to officer C. Jordan and another officer and firefighters for saving our dogs. He said it was so hot they almost had to leave them. Thank you God we are alive and safe, and pray that justice is served.”
Dennis Molla, an immigrant who moved to the U.S. from Ukraine, told the Star Tribune: “I think things have gotten way out of control. I’m not one of those confrontational people. … I just feel very sorry for my parents, just because they wanted to leave the USSR for us to have a better future and life in America. … For them to see me express my beliefs as a Republican, it’s crazy to think it came down to this.”
Deana Molla recalled another troubling incident that allegedly happened a couple of weeks ago while Dennis was working downtown at a construction site. Someone reportedly drove by and took pictures of his vehicle, which was displaying a Trump flag, and feces were later left in the vehicle.
A Twin Cities family believes they were targeted for having a "Trump 2020" sign outside their home. An investigation is underway after police say someone spray painted "Biden 2020" on their garage and burned it down." | https://t.co/nyx7XcstcG pic.twitter.com/ZkZFJgKEZm — WCCO – CBS Minnesota (@WCCO) September 23, 2020
The Brooklyn Center Police Department in Minnesota released the following statement on Wednesday:
Just before 4:00 am, Brooklyn Center police officers and firefighters were dispatched to the report of an explosion and fire in the area of 69th Ave N and Morgan Ave N in Brooklyn Center. Officers located a fire at a residence in the 6900 block of Morgan Ave N. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, but not before a detached three car garage and three vehicles were destroyed. There was minor damage to the house. There were no injuries during this incident. Officers and firefighters were able to save the three dogs in kennels and four puppies located in the garage.* This fire is considered suspicious and our investigation remains extremely active. The home occupants had a fairly large “Trump 2020” sign that was destroyed, and our officers observed what appeared to be fresh spray paint on the garage before it burned down. The spray paint included “Biden 2020”, “BLM” and capital letter “A” with a circle around it. Our Brooklyn Center Police and Fire Departments were, and continue to be, assisted by the following: North Memorial Ambulance, Hennepin County Crime Lab, Hennepin County Fire Investigation Team, MN State Fire Marshall Office, ATF, and FBI. The Minnesota Arson Reward Project – IAAI – is offering rewards of up to $5,000 for information leading to the identification of persons responsible for this fire.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-09-25--Solid Majority Of Americans, Including Democrats, Want Supreme Court Hearings During Election Year,

Solid Majority Of Americans, Including Democrats, Want Supreme Court Hearings During Election Year, Poll Finds

( Ryan Saavedra ) A solid majority of Americans across the political spectrum support holding hearings for Supreme Court nominees during a presidential year , according to a poll conducted just a few days ago .
A new Marquette Law School national survey found that solid majorities of Republicans , Democrats , and Independents indicated that if a seat was vacated during an election year that hearings should take place .
“ In this poll , conducted in the days before Ginsburg ’ s death , a substantial majority of respondents of both parties say that if a vacancy occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate should hold hearings on a nominee , with 67 percent saying hearings should be held and 32 percent saying they should not be held , ” Marquette Law School said .
“ Views on holding hearings do not vary much by partisanship.
” The poll found that 68 percent of Republicans , 71 percent of Independents , and 63 percent of Democrats indicated that there should be hearings held if a seat became vacated during a presidential election year .
This is bad news for Democrats as they desperately try to stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mitch McConnell ( R-KY ) from filling the seat vacated by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , who died last week at 87 years old .
Democrats and leftists in the media have responded to the vacancy by threatening acts of violence and even threatening to undermine the legitimacy of the nation ’ s highest court by packing the court with judges that suit their ideology .
Ginsburg allegedly told her granddaughter that her dying wish was that she would “ not be replaced until a new president is installed.
” However @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats were trying to fill a seat during an election year — that only having eight justices on the court was “ not a good number.
” “ That means no opinions and no precedential value ; an equal division is essentially the same as a denial of review , ” Ginsburg said on the issue of the Supreme Court only having eight justices .
“ Eight , as you know , is not a good number for a multi-member court.
” Trump gave a classy statement upon learning about Ginsburg ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of reporters with Elton John ’ s “ Tiny Dancer ” playing in the background .
“ She just died ?
Wow , ” Trump said .
“ I didn ’ t know that .
You ’ re telling me now for the first time .
She led an amazing life .
What else can you say ?
” “ She was an amazing woman .
Whether you agreed or not , she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life , ” Trump continued .
“ I ’ m saddened to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guard by news of Ginsburg ’ s death , says he was ‘ saddened ’ https : //t.co/xKHVByOzl4 pic.twitter.com/pcunzNe4Vv “ Trump ’ s comments come after Democrat Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer ( D-NY ) completely skipped over honoring Ginsburg in his initial statement following her death , and instead jumped straight into politics , ” The Daily Wire reported .
“ In his first tweet on Ginsburg ’ s passing , Schumer wrote : ‘ The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ filled until we have a new president.

Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.

“The coronavirus cases on lower Broadway may have been so low that the mayor’s office and the metro health department decided to keep it secret,” FOX 17 News Nashville reported Wednesday. The alleged revelation was made in emails between a senior adviser to the mayor and a health department official.
“The discussion involves the low number of coronavirus cases emerging from bars and restaurants and how to handle that and most disturbingly how to keep it from the public,” the station said. “On June 30th, contact tracing was giving a small view of coronavirus clusters. Construction and nursing homes were found to be causing problems with more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22 cases.”
Health department official Leslie Waller asked senior adviser Benjamin Eagles: “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?
Eagles responded: “Correct, not for public consumption.”
A month later, Tennessean reporter Nate Rau asked the health department, “The figure you gave of ‘more than 80’ does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?” Health department official Brian Todd allegedly forwarded the email to five other officials and asked for help answering how he should respond. One official responded: “My two cents: We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site. … We could still release the total though, and then a response to the over 80 could be ‘because that number is increasing all the time and we don’t want to say a specific number.’” The local station said that neither the mayor’s office nor the health department would confirm the authenticity of the emails, but one city council member did.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-09-25--Dismantling the Electoral College Means Destroying America

( Joseph MacKinnon ) Democrats plan to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court with radical judges .
These changes would give the left license to radically transform the nation .
There is , however , another threat they ’ ve dusted off ahead of the Nov. 3rd election that—if executed—wouldn ’ t just be transformative , but totally destructive .
They want to abolish the Electoral College .
Destroying this institution will mean the end of national campaigning ( and the engagement , negotiation , and localized promises that go along with it ) .
What politician will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
What will a vote get you in Idaho or Montana ?
It will mean fewer crucial checks on voter fraud .

So what is this thing Joy Behar wants us to destroy ?
The United States of America is a representative [ federal ] republic .
It qualifies as an indirect democracy , but this isn ’ t justly reflected in the revisionist histories and stump speeches popular today or in the emulations exported to conquered third-world nations around the globe .
In fact , “ democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Independence nor in the Constitution .
Erik Maria Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn pointed out that the noun “ republic ” is also missing from the aforementioned documents .
On this matter , the Constitution only states that “ member states of the Union should have a republican form of government.
” A republic is a state wherein power is held by the people and their elected representatives who choose as their head-of-state a president rather than a monarch .
The relationship between the people and their elected representatives—where choosing the president is concerned—is tied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The EC is comprised of intermediaries .
We cast our votes , and these intermediaries—called ‘ electors ’ —then cast theirs reflecting our majoritive will .
There are 538 of these electors .
An elector is chosen at the state level .
Electors are nominated during the parties ’ state-level elections .
A party ’ s central committee , with ethical standards and criteria in mind , then chooses the electors .
Altogether , 538 electors decide who will become president .
270 or more votes are required to clinch the win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can make a big difference one way or the other—far bigger than any they could hope to make based on the popular vote .
The number of each state ’ s electors corresponds with that state ’ s membership in the Senate and House .
California has fifty-five electors .
Texas : thirty-eight .
New York : twenty-nine .
Florida : twenty-nine .
Illinois : twenty .
And so forth .
If a candidate wins the plurality of votes , they receive all of the state ’ s electors ( Maine and Nebraska @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with congressional districts weighing in ) .
So if Joe Biden won a majority in California , he ’ d get fifty-five towards the required 270 votes .
Last election , President Trump beat never-president Clinton by seventy-seven electoral votes .
Clinton had won the popular vote , but it didn ’ t matter .
California and New York couldn ’ t translate numbers into additional electors .
Though the renewed antipathy for the EC may solely concern power and obstacles to gaining more ( I don ’ t think that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ messaging now echoes philosophical differences older than this nation .
We won ’ t discuss direct democracy in ancient Greece , though it is precisely that concept which is and has always been at war with American republicanism .

They don ’ t care that direct democracy is a fleeting thing ; that tyranny of the majority would quickly produce a regionally focused , though nationally all-powerful , ruling class and a hapless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run roughshod over ; or that a nation where forty-eight states have their future and policies determined by two coastal powers would not be free .
Power is the Democrats ’ highest aim , regardless of what system of politics and governance they enjoy it in .

The foundations will , however , hold so long as patriots rally to protect them .
Most Americans do not think that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are outmoded parchment .
They instead recognize these foundational works as living documents that guarantee the rights , liberties , and destiny of people across America ; in small towns , on remote farms , in quiet villages , and in bustling cities , all originally granted by a living God ( not by the state ) .
They recognize that the Electoral College buttresses these guarantees .
Thankfully , there is a sufficient number on the right as well as some moderates who will not dare forsake that great nation bequeathed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the blood of patriots .
It is essential that they vote for those who will protect what protects our regional agency , which is precisely why the Dems are doing everything they can to confuse and suppress the Republican vote .
To dismantle the Electoral College is to dismantle America .
This election is about more than personalities ; about more than taking on the genocidal CCP , onshoring manufacturing jobs , making citizenship mean something again , or reifying America ’ s borders ; it ’ s about more than protecting the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as individuals as opposed to constituents of deplorable collectives ; it ’ s about more than making America great again .
It ’ s about making sure that this country remains America in more than just name .

(Joseph MacKinnon) Democrats plan to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court with radical judges. These changes would give the left license to radically transform the nation. There is, however, another threat they’ve dusted off ahead of the Nov. 3rd election that—if executed—wouldn’t just be transformative, but totally destructive. They want to abolish the Electoral College. Destroying this institution will mean the end of national campaigning (and the engagement, negotiation, and localized promises that go along with it). What politician will ever again stump in Kenosha or Breckenridge? What will a vote get you in Idaho or Montana? It will mean fewer crucial checks on voter fraud. It will mean tyranny by the coastal hives; by California technocrats and by Wall Street corporatists. It will mean a nation highly susceptible to one-party rule and inevitably totalitarianism, which, if still called America, would be America in name only.

There are innumerable articles arguing for and against this institution, yet given the present state of the Democrat Party—majoritively made desperate and hysterical by their upset four years ago, the failure of their Russian collusion hoax (advanced by their acolytes in the mainstream media), bad post-modern thinking, a disastrous Obama administration, and the inefficacy of their deep state coup—it seems prudent to raise the matter once more. After all, it is better to discuss this now when only parts of America are on fire rather than when all is set ablaze by the Dems’ guerrilla fighters upon their realization late November that Trump has won 362 electoral college votes despite losing the popular vote. Plus, if that oracle of daytime-programming wisdom Joy Behar is calling for the Electoral College’s diminution, clearly someone needs to respond.
There have been a few occasions where the popular vote did not secure for a candidate the presidency. In 1824, Andrew Jackson lost to John Quincy Adams. Rutherford B. Hayes beat Sam Tilden in 1876. Grover Cleveland got steamrolled by Benjamin Harrison for an Electoral College (EC) win in 1888. In 2000, George W. Bush’s EC win over Al Gore made the Dems susceptible to the derangement that set the stage for 2016, where Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but nevertheless got thoroughly trounced by Donald Trump 304 to 227. When the EC worked in their favor in 2008 and 2012, the Dems were silent on the subject.
Recognizing that Trump is transformative and that conservative populism is sweeping over once-solidly blue states, the Dems are petrified that they won’t be able to sooner take advantage of their imported voting bloc via amnesty and resettlement—that total power has been once again set beyond their reach.

The Founders were actually quite suspicious of pure democracy. John Adams suggested that democracy would inevitably evolve into oligarchy and into despotism. In The Works of John Adams (Vol. 6), he claimed that:
The people, when they have been unchecked have been as unjust, tyrannical, brutal, barbarous and cruel as any king or senate possessed by an uncontrollable power. The majority has eternally and without anyone exception usurped over the rights of the minority.
Much later, Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (1884-1951) echoed these sentiments and the suspicions of the Founders when he stated that:
The government of the United States is a representative republic and not a pure democracy. The difference is as profound today as it was when the foundations of the Constitution were set in the ages…We are a representative republic. We are not a pure democracy…Yet we are constantly trying to graft the latter on the former, and every effort we make in this direction, with but few exceptions, is a blow aimed at the heart of the Constitution.
Not all in the thirteen colonies shared Vandenberg’s and Founders’ antipathy for pure democracy, and this ideological schism contributed to the polarity within the early government. The essential historical struggle between the chief American political parties, dating back to Andrew Jackson, ostensibly has been, on the one side, to conserve and preserve the republic, and on the other side, to assimilate and promote democratic elements within it. The latter pursuit has not been in vain or without fruit; the expansion of the meaning of the prefix demo has since been modified to include women, blacks, and other groups previously denied involvement and a say in the process. In fact, assuming the essential structure of America remained in place, this give-and-take wouldn’t necessarily be ruinous. Unfortunately, we live in a moment of extremes, bereft of nuance, and hostile to compromise.
Even though the two parties have changed a great deal (the Democrats have maintained their fidelity to racism, eugenics, and bigotry), the alignment on this issue remains the same.

To dismantle the Electoral College is to dismantle America. This election is about more than personalities; about more than taking on the genocidal CCP, onshoring manufacturing jobs, making citizenship mean something again, or reifying America’s borders; it’s about more than protecting the unborn from Democrat butchers or treating Americans as individuals as opposed to constituents of deplorable collectives; it’s about more than making America great again. It’s about making sure that this country remains America in more than just name.
