After the WHO announced earlier that it had reached out to the CDC over the guidance change, the agency informed American media outlets that a “draft version” of the guidance had been “posted in error”.
“A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency’s official website,” the CDC said. “CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted.”
Even so, the American media has grown increasingly convinced that aerosols significantly contribute to overall spread of the virus, with ABC News suggesting yesterday that expensive UV-light powered surface cleaners were merely examples of “hygiene theater”.

newswars--2020-09-22--An Obscure Law In Pennsylvania Could Result In 100,000 Mail-In Ballots Being Thrown Out Without Ever

An Obscure Law In Pennsylvania Could Result In 100,000 Mail-In Ballots Being Thrown Out Without Ever Being Counted

We are still more than 40 days away from the election , and already we are seeing huge red flags regarding the integrity of the voting process in some states .
No matter who you support , you should want the upcoming election to be fair .
Every American should be able to vote , all of those votes should be counted , and the decision that the American people make should be respected .
Unfortunately , it appears that this is likely to be the most chaotic election in modern American history , and wrangling over what votes should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be counted is likely to persist long after election night is over .
In the end , it would not be surprising to see the outcome of the election end up at the Supreme Court , and that is a scenario that none of us should want to see .
Ali Alexander breaks down the newest election theft occuring , this time again we take our eyes to Broward country where an unmarked vehicle is caught , this time on camera by Laura Loomer , with piles of election ballots .
Let me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am so concerned .
In Pennsylvania , a recent legal decision requires officials to throw out mail-in ballots without counting them if voters do not return them in “ secrecy envelopes ” … This is a very big deal , because large numbers of votes could be voided in one of our most important swing states .
According to the Washington Times , it is being estimated that “ more than 100,000 mail-in ballots ” could potentially be thrown out… In 2016 , President Trump won the state of Pennsylvania by just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could potentially swing the outcome from one candidate to the other .
And if the national results are very close , whoever wins Pennsylvania could ultimately determine who wins the White House .
Sadly , this is not the only reason to be deeply concerned about the integrity of the vote in Pennsylvania .
Last week , the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided that the deadline for mail-in ballots will be “ the Friday after Election Day ” … So does this mean that countless numbers of voters in the state could potentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have them counted ?
I am just imagining a scenario where one party is barely behind in the state on election night and then makes an all-out push to have more people vote by mail on Wednesday and Thursday .
If the party that is in the lead does not match that late push , that could also be something that flips the outcome of the election .
There are so many things that could go wrong , and I believe that we are headed for a giant mess no matter who wins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up in other states as well .
In Wisconsin , a federal judge just decided that absentee ballots “ can be counted up to six days after the Nov. 3 presidential election ” … Wisconsin is another one of the most critical swing states , and so this is very troubling news .
In so many states , we are going to have to wait for a long time after the election before we get final results , and that period of uncertainty is going to be very bad for our nation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ about what is going to happen in November .
It is being estimated that up to 40 percent of the population will vote by mail , and that number is far , far higher than anything that we have ever seen before .
And we also have millions and millions of people registering to vote without ever having to come face to face with anyone .
In fact , Facebook has announced that they have “ already registered 2.5 million Americans to vote ” … We all know that Facebook has millions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get friend requests from fake profiles constantly .
So who decided that it would be okay for them to register “ millions of people ” to vote ?
And the way that some states are aggressively promoting mail-in voting is making a lot of people really upset .
One of my readers that intends to vote in person told me that in the past five weeks “ my wife and I have received three requests each for mail in ballots !
” Another one of my readers has been very confused by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mail , because they make it seem like voting by mail is not optional… This enormous push for mail-in votes is going to create an unprecedented mess , and the outcome of the presidential election is likely to be contested no matter who is ahead on election night .
Needless to say , a contested outcome is likely to spark even more civil unrest , and that won ’ t be good for our country at all .
This is such a critical moment for America , and the voice of every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the integrity of our voting process is compromised , that could result in someone winning the election that the American people did not choose , and that is something that none of us should want .

Ali Alexander breaks down the newest election theft occuring, this time again we take our eyes to Broward country where an unmarked vehicle is caught, this time on camera by Laura Loomer, with piles of election ballots.
Let me give you an example that shows why I am so concerned. In Pennsylvania, a recent legal decision requires officials to throw out mail-in ballots without counting them if voters do not return them in “secrecy envelopes”…
Philadelphia’s top elections official is warning of electoral chaos in the presidential battleground state if lawmakers there do not remove a provision in Pennsylvania law that, under a days-old court decision, requires counties to throw out mail-in ballots returned without secrecy envelopes.
This is a very big deal, because large numbers of votes could be voided in one of our most important swing states.
According to the Washington Times, it is being estimated that “more than 100,000 mail-in ballots” could potentially be thrown out…
Some 30,000 to 40,000 mail-in ballots could arrive without secrecy envelopes in Philadelphia alone in November’s presidential election, Deeley estimated, and the state Supreme Court’s interpretation of current law forces election officials to throw them out. Statewide, that could mean throwing out more than 100,000 mail-in ballots in the Nov. 3 presidential election, according to some estimates.
In 2016, President Trump won the state of Pennsylvania by just 44,292 votes.
So eliminating 100,000 votes could potentially swing the outcome from one candidate to the other.
And if the national results are very close, whoever wins Pennsylvania could ultimately determine who wins the White House.
Sadly, this is not the only reason to be deeply concerned about the integrity of the vote in Pennsylvania. Last week, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided that the deadline for mail-in ballots will be “the Friday after Election Day”…
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued three rulings on Thursday, extended the deadline for mail-in ballots to the Friday after Election Day, ruled voters could use dropbox to return mail-in ballots, and removed the Green Party’s presidential ticket from the ballot.
So does this mean that countless numbers of voters in the state could potentially cast votes after election day and still have them counted?
I am just imagining a scenario where one party is barely behind in the state on election night and then makes an all-out push to have more people vote by mail on Wednesday and Thursday. If the party that is in the lead does not match that late push, that could also be something that flips the outcome of the election.
There are so many things that could go wrong, and I believe that we are headed for a giant mess no matter who wins.
Signs of trouble continue to pile up in other states as well. In Wisconsin, a federal judge just decided that absentee ballots “can be counted up to six days after the Nov. 3 presidential election”…
A federal judge ruled Monday that absentee ballots in battleground Wisconsin can be counted up to six days after the Nov. 3 presidential election as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. The highly anticipated ruling, unless overturned, means that the outcome of the presidential race in Wisconsin might not be known for days after polls close. Under current law, the deadline for returning an absentee ballot to have it counted is 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Wisconsin is another one of the most critical swing states, and so this is very troubling news.
In so many states, we are going to have to wait for a long time after the election before we get final results, and that period of uncertainty is going to be very bad for our nation.
I just have such a bad feeling about what is going to happen in November. It is being estimated that up to 40 percent of the population will vote by mail, and that number is far, far higher than anything that we have ever seen before.
And we also have millions and millions of people registering to vote without ever having to come face to face with anyone. In fact, Facebook has announced that they have “already registered 2.5 million Americans to vote”…
Facebook says it has already registered 2.5 million Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election, with a goal of registering 4 million total before Election Day. In a blog post in advance of National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, the social-media giant touted its combined registration figures from Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, extrapolating from conversion rates from several states.
Seriously?
We all know that Facebook has millions of fake profiles. In fact, I get friend requests from fake profiles constantly.
So who decided that it would be okay for them to register “millions of people” to vote?
And the way that some states are aggressively promoting mail-in voting is making a lot of people really upset. One of my readers that intends to vote in person told me that in the past five weeks “my wife and I have received three requests each for mail in ballots!”
Another one of my readers has been very confused by the forms that she has been getting in the mail, because they make it seem like voting by mail is not optional…
“A few weeks ago I got a form in the mail about voting by mail. Days later I asked a neighbor about it because I want to vote in person and they said that we can vote in person. In today’s mail I received a letter from my secretary of state asking me why I had not begun the process yet. It doesn’t say that it’s optional, they are just leading us to believe it’s the only way we are going to be allowed to vote.”
This enormous push for mail-in votes is going to create an unprecedented mess, and the outcome of the presidential election is likely to be contested no matter who is ahead on election night.
Needless to say, a contested outcome is likely to spark even more civil unrest, and that won’t be good for our country at all.
This is such a critical moment for America, and the voice of every American should be respected.
But if the integrity of our voting process is compromised, that could result in someone winning the election that the American people did not choose, and that is something that none of us should want.

newswars--2020-09-22--“Defund Police” Activist Alyssa Milano Calls Cops To Report Armed Gunman – Turns Out to Be Teen Shoo

“Defund Police” Activist Alyssa Milano Calls Cops To Report Armed Gunman – Turns Out to Be Teen Shooting Squirrels With Airsoft Gun

Actress and far-left activist Alyssa Milano betrayed her calls to defund police over the weekend when she phoned cops to defend her from what she believed was an armed gunman .
The incident unfolded Sunday when Milano , 47 , reported spotting a “ male , 40-year-old , with long rifle ” outside her $ 2.5 million Bell Canyon mansion in Ventura County .
Neighbors reported noticing a large police presence in the neighborhood , along with a police helicopter patrol circling the area .
“ Just drove by about 12 armed officers on Bell Canyon Road , ” one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to DailyMail.co.uk .
“ They are responding to a call reporting a man with a gun in the neighborhood !
!
This was also the cause of the helicopter .
Stay inside , stay safe !
” A neighbor told the Daily Mail police later discovered the suspect was merely a teen who was shooting squirrels with an air soft gun , leading residents to dub the issue , “ Squirrelgate.
” “ It turned out it was a neighborhood teen with an air gun shooting at squirrels , ” a resident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alarm follows months of “ defund police ” activism from Milano in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests and riots .
At least one of Milano ’ s neighbors reportedly slammed the actress ’ s hypocrisy in calling for defunding the very police she called to save her .
“ She can tweet those things because at the end of the day she lives behind gates in a gated community .
She knows the police will come to save her .
But what about all those people who don ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?

Actress and far-left activist Alyssa Milano betrayed her calls to defund police over the weekend when she phoned cops to defend her from what she believed was an armed gunman.
The incident unfolded Sunday when Milano, 47, reported spotting a “male, 40-year-old, with long rifle” outside her $2.5 million Bell Canyon mansion in Ventura County.
Neighbors reported noticing a large police presence in the neighborhood, along with a police helicopter patrol circling the area.
“Just drove by about 12 armed officers on Bell Canyon Road,” one neighbor wrote in the NextDoor app, according to DailyMail.co.uk. “They are responding to a call reporting a man with a gun in the neighborhood!! This was also the cause of the helicopter. Stay inside, stay safe!”
A neighbor told the Daily Mail police later discovered the suspect was merely a teen who was shooting squirrels with an air soft gun, leading residents to dub the issue, “Squirrelgate.”
“It turned out it was a neighborhood teen with an air gun shooting at squirrels,” a resident confirmed to the Mail.
The false alarm follows months of “defund police” activism from Milano in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests and riots.
At least one of Milano’s neighbors reportedly slammed the actress’s hypocrisy in calling for defunding the very police she called to save her.
“She can tweet those things because at the end of the day she lives behind gates in a gated community. She knows the police will come to save her. But what about all those people who don’t have that luxury and live in unsafe neighborhoods? She obviously doesn’t care,” the unnamed neighbor is quoted saying by the Mail.

newswars--2020-09-22--Macron: Europe ‘Will Not Compromise’ With Washington on Iran Sanctions

French President Emmanuel Macron called for a “ modern new consensus ” on tackling global challenges in his speech to the 75th UN General Assembly on 22 September .
Europe will not compromise with the United States on Iran sanctions , French President Emmanuel Macron told the UN General Assembly by video .
“ We will not compromise on the activation of a mechanism that the United States is not in a position to activate on its own after leaving the agreement .

He continued on by saying that US maximum pressure on Iran is not working .
“ The maximum pressure strategy , which has been underway for several years , has not at this stage made it possible to end Iran ’ s destabilising activities or to ensure that it will not be able to acquire nuclear weapons .
This is why France , along with its German and British partners , will maintain its demand for the full implementation of the 2015 Vienna @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committed by Iran ” , he stated .
On 21 September , US President Donald Trump signed an executive order greenlighting severe economic penalties against foreign nations , corporations , and individuals that violate the UN arms embargo on Tehran .

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on 19 September that the US would continue its “maximum pressure campaign” against Iran until a comprehensive agreement is reached.
US-China Power Struggle
Macron also mentioned that world leaders cannot let themselves be governed by the power struggle between the United States and China.

newswars--2020-09-22--Diabetes Dramatically Reduces Kidney’s Ability to Clean Itself

The kidneys often become bulky and dysfunctional in diabetes , and now scientists have found that one path to this damage dramatically reduces the kidney ’ s ability to clean up after itself .
The natural cleanup is called autophagy , which literally means “ self-eating , ” and it ’ s a constant throughout our bodies as debris , like misfolded proteins and damaged cell powerhouses called mitochondria , get packaged into a double-membrane sack , then destroyed by enzymes to help keep cells and organs functioning at a premium .
Autophagy tends to increase in the face of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scientists have found a pathway that then quickly decreases autophagy in both animal models and humans with varying stages of this chronic condition , leaving the kidneys more vulnerable , Dr. Zheng Dong and his colleagues report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation .
“ This is the first time we understand there is a novel pathway that leads to autophagy ’ s dysfunction in a chronic kidney disease condition like diabetes , ” says Dong , cellular biologist and Leon H. Charbonnier Endowed Chair in the Department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Augusta University .
“ I think it also suggests that we have a targeted pathway to prevent or slow progression of kidney failure , ” says Dong , the study ’ s corresponding author , who is also a senior career scientist and director of research development at the Charlie Norwood Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Augusta .
Dr. Zhengwei Ma , MCG research associate , is first author .
Diabetes affects about 100 million adults in the United States , diabetic kidney disease is a major complication of diabetes and is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kidney failure , according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
Scientists like Dong studying the hazardous intersection of diabetes and the kidneys were giving conflicting reports on the state of autophagy : Some saying it went up , others finding it went down .
Dong and his colleagues have now found both were correct .
They found autophagy levels naturally , initially increase in response to the stress of diabetes , but quickly drop off as a protein best known as a tumor suppressor activates a microRNA not normally involved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unhealthy overgrowth — of individual cells and the organ — called hypertrophy , scarring , inflammation and protein spilling into the urine , a classic sign the kidneys are failing .
“ This helps us not just understand the phenomenon — that there is initial activation , then it comes down — but we understand what actually causes that down-regulation in a disease state , ” Dong says .
The known tumor suppressor is p53 , the microRNA is miR-214 and the autophagy gene this pair conspires to suppress is ULK1 , one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this important metabolic function .
To measure the impact of this path on autophagy , they used levels of the protein LC3 , found in the membranes of those sacks where cell parts gets piled for elimination , which is considered a reliable biomarker of autophagy levels .
They consistently found , in both animals and humans , higher activity of p53 and miR-214 and lower ULK1 and autophagy over a relatively short period of time .
In a mouse model of type 1 diabetes , for example , at age nine weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biomarker compared to healthy controls .
Two weeks later the biomarker was somewhat lower in the diabetic mice , and by age 11 weeks , it was significantly lower .
The diabetic mice were smaller overall but had larger kidneys because of hypertrophy and signs of renal tubule damage , including scarring and inflammation .
“ Initially there is an increase , then a decrease and it keeps going down , ” Dong says , noting the apparent link between less autophagy and greater hypertrophy .
By 20 weeks , there was protein @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kidney cells incubated in high glucose also show this initial increase then , as little as a day later , an autophagy decrease , Dong says .
When they knocked out the autophagy gene , both kidney failure and hypertrophy got even worse , and when they activated the gene it prevented the downward progression .
They found in this dynamic pathway that autophagy went down because levels of the autophagy activating gene ULK1 went significantly down , and that ULK1 went down because miR-214 went way up .
There are about 30 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ULK1 most consistently down in their diabetes models and in kidney biopsies from patients with diabetes .
So they backed up a step to find what was regulating miR-214 and found p53 , the known tumor suppressor that is also known to regulate the cell cycle and which they also think is a stress responder , likely to help eliminate bad cells .
When they knocked out or suppressed miR-214 from the cells of the long tubules right off the kidneys ’ filtering units , where a lot of the resorption of valuable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happens , ULK1 expression and autophagy activity did not decrease in diabetes .
There was less unhealthy overgrowth of the kidney and better kidney function , indicated by less spilling of protein .
So they went back one step again , this time blocked p53 and saw miR-214 levels did not go up and the downstream benefits of blocking its action were essentially the same .
When they compared human samples of patients with diabetes to biopsies of healthy kidneys , none of the normal samples had signs of p53 but it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of patients who had diabetes and varying stages of related kidney problems .
There were similar findings about miR-214 .
The healthy kidneys showed high levels of ULk1 as they should and diabetes biopsies had low levels of this well-established frontline autophagy gene .
“ We have a signaling pathway that is very important to hypertrophy , for cell death and inflammation in diabetes that finally leads to kidney failure , ” Dong says , and interfering with that pathway could make a big difference in the lives of patients whose kidneys are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 10 to 12 years into kidney failure , we may be able to slow it down to 20 or 30 years or prevent it from happening , ” he says .
miR-214 is a logical intervention target because it clearly stands in the way of autophagy in the face of diabetes and normally has no obvious role in kidney function , Dong says .
p53 is likely not a good target for a chronic problem like diabetic kidney disease because of its clear function as a tumor suppressor , he says , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possibility .
Hypertrophy is part of the pathogenic process that leads to kidney failure , Dong says , as tubular cells have to work harder and get bigger as a result , like an arm muscle responding to weight lifting , but at some point it results in dysfunction .
Autophagy is activated to protect those renal tubule cells .
“ This helps the cell combat stress to enable it to still survive , ” Dong says .
And it may be a key difference in the resilience of kidneys following an acute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implies , indicates some sort of sudden damage to the kidneys like a blockage of blood flow or a serious burn .
“ We know in patients with acute kidney injury , the outcome is very different in different people , ” Dong says .
The kidneys of generally healthy people tend to recover with proper care , while those with existing health problems that affect the kidneys , like hypertension and diabetes , or who are simply over age 75 , may proceed to kidney failure , which requires dialysis or an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known that autophagy is protective and activated in an acute kidney injury and Dong got the idea that maybe in diabetes that protection is lost or at least impaired .
A subsequent study by another investigator showed that people with obesity related type 2 diabetes did have impaired autophagy , which matched what they were seeing in the lab , so he decided to focus on why the decrease .
Metabolic changes occur in diabetes , like high levels of glucose , inflammation and oxidative stress ; cell powerhouses , called mitochondria , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where proteins are properly folded , can be disrupted .
The kidney can grow larger , initially likely to accommodate the challenging work environment , but if it continues , the kidney , much like a heart in failure , may become enlarged , and its function diminished or destroyed , Dong says .
Patients with diabetes who develop hypertrophy are more likely to develop end stage renal disease , the scientists write .
While he is not certain impaired autophagy completely explains the unhealthy growth , he is confident it contributes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instigator of the low , so-called basal , level of autophagy that is going on all the time throughout the body .
Problems with autophagy already are associated with diseases from cancer to Alzheimer ’ s and heart disease , and it ’ s also implicated in diabetes .
Some cells need more rigorous autophagy , like high-functioning neurons that are supposed to last a lifetime , and the podocytes that wrap around tiny capillaries in the approximately 1 million filtering units inside each kidney .
“ You need to keep them in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Dong says of the podocytes that keep a tight grip on capillaries with little foot-like extensions and are essential to the essential filtering role of the kidney , like keeping proteins from being lost in the urine .
Renal tubule cells , which were the focus of the study , and carry urine out of the filtering units toward the bladder , filtering salt and water along the way , are the most prominent kidney cell type and they normally function well with relatively low levels of autophagy , Dong says .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been found in the tubule cells of the kidney , and there is a consensus that autophagy is impaired in this common kidney condition , Dong says .
Both type 1 and 2 diabetes tend to be lifelong conditions and the kidneys an early target of high levels of glucose in the blood which damages blood vessels , which can drive up blood pressure , which causes more damage .

newswars--2020-09-22--Lindsey Graham Says Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee Already Has the Votes

The next few weeks may prove some of the most tumultuous in recent American political history .
Americans are voting in a presidential election amid a global pandemic , after a summer of violent leftist riots , and amid a rough-and-tumble Supreme Court battle after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg .
Vote-by-mail schemes have faced numerous legal challenges , and the Supreme Court term begins next month .
President Donald Trump will name a female nominee later this week and the Senate will vote on her — as Democrats fight tooth and nail to prevent it .
Only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ( D-Nev. ) chose the “ nuclear option ” and confirmed Barack Obama ’ s judges with a mere majority of the U.S. Senate , he opened the door for Republicans to do the same .
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham ( R-S.C. ) , himself in a close reelection battle , announced on Tuesday that the Republicans already have the votes to bring Trump ’ s nominee to a vote before the November 3 election , whoever she may be .
“ We ’ ve got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s replacement before the election , ” Graham told Fox News on Monday .
“ We ’ re going to move forward in the committee , we ’ re going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the United States Senate so we can vote before the election .
Now , that ’ s the constitutional process.
” In order for the full Senate to vote on Trump ’ s nominee , she has to make it through the Senate Judiciary Committee .
The Democrats on that committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judicial nominees — especially those with firm religious convictions .
Sen. Dianne Feinstein ( D-Calif. ) notoriously berated Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett ( now a likely frontrunner for the nomination ) , claiming that “ the dogma lives loudly within you.
” Sen. Kamala Harris ( D-Calif. ) , now Democratic nominee Joe Biden ’ s running mate , has launched witch hunts against Trump ’ s nominees because they belonged to the Catholic fraternal order the Knights of Columbus .

Are you tired of safety and normalcy ?
Then vote in Democrats !

The next few weeks may prove some of the most tumultuous in recent American political history.
Americans are voting in a presidential election amid a global pandemic, after a summer of violent leftist riots, and amid a rough-and-tumble Supreme Court battle after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Vote-by-mail schemes have faced numerous legal challenges, and the Supreme Court term begins next month.
President Donald Trump will name a female nominee later this week and the Senate will vote on her — as Democrats fight tooth and nail to prevent it.
Only, they can’t. When then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) chose the “nuclear option” and confirmed Barack Obama’s judges with a mere majority of the U.S. Senate, he opened the door for Republicans to do the same. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), himself in a close reelection battle, announced on Tuesday that the Republicans already have the votes to bring Trump’s nominee to a vote before the November 3 election, whoever she may be.
“We’ve got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg’s replacement before the election,” Graham told Fox News on Monday. “We’re going to move forward in the committee, we’re going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the United States Senate so we can vote before the election. Now, that’s the constitutional process.”
In order for the full Senate to vote on Trump’s nominee, she has to make it through the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Democrats on that committee are notoriously vicious to Trump’s judicial nominees — especially those with firm religious convictions. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) notoriously berated Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett (now a likely frontrunner for the nomination), claiming that “the dogma lives loudly within you.”
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), now Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s running mate, has launched witch hunts against Trump’s nominees because they belonged to the Catholic fraternal order the Knights of Columbus. She has also cited the scandal-plagued far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center to attack nominees with ties to organizations falsely branded as “hate groups.”
It seems Graham wants to rush Trump’s nominee through the Judiciary Committee, and he has the votes. He probably would not be able to do so without holding at least one hearing, and a hearing would tie up the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee, exposing her bigotry against traditional Christians in public.
President Trump has signaled his intention to choose either Barrett, now a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, or Barbara Lagoa, a Cuban-American judge on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Trump met with Barrett at the White House on Monday and he will make his announcement in Miami, where Lagoa is based. Conversations between the White House and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) office have focused on Barrett and Lagoa, the Associated Press reported.
Biden has insisted that the Senate should wait until after the election to vote on Trump’s nominee. “If I win… I should be the one who nominates Ginsburg’s successor,” he said. Some Democrats have suggested that if Trump nominates and the Senate confirms Ginsburg’s successor and if Democrats take the White House and the Senate, they will pack the Supreme Court, adding new justices to swing the balance of the Court. Tragically, Democrats have shown an increasing willingness to get rid of American constitutional norms in order to advance their agenda, from abolishing the Electoral College to ending the Senate filibuster.
Many Democrats seem to think the Senate cannot confirm Trump’s nominee before the election, but Graham has reason to be optimistic on that score. President Trump will announce his nominee on Saturday, 38 days before Election Day.
If the Senate confirms Trump’s nominee in that time, that will not be a record for the fastest Supreme Court confirmation. The Senate confirmed Justice John Paul Stevens a mere 19 days after his nomination. The Senate confirmed Justice Sandra Day O’Connor 33 days after her nomination. The Senate confirmed Ruth Bader Ginsburg 42 days after her nomination.
Especially if the results of the 2020 election will be delayed, as many observers warn, the Senate may have enough time to confirm Trump’s nominee before the final results are known.
It may prove particularly vital for the Senate to confirm a justice as soon as possible, given the court challenges to vote-by-mail schemes and the expected uncertainty in the final results of the election. A nine-member Court is better positioned to decide tense cases and to set precedents.
Graham says he has the votes to usher Trump’s nominee right up to a full vote of the U.S. Senate before Election Day, but Democrats are likely to pull out the stops to accuse her of anything they can and stall the process by whatever means necessary.
Get ready for a bumpy ride.

newswars--2020-09-22--$3.3 Trillion Added to National Debt Since March

The 2020 budget deficit surged passed $ 3 trillion in August even as the US government continues to borrow and spend at a torrid pace .
Since March , the federal government has added $ 3.3 trillion to the national debt .
That is on top of the $ 1.4 trillion in debt Uncle Sam piled on in the 12 months through February 2020 .

The 2020 budget deficit surged passed $3 trillion in August even as the US government continues to borrow and spend at a torrid pace.
Since March, the federal government has added $3.3 trillion to the national debt. That is on top of the $1.4 trillion in debt Uncle Sam piled on in the 12 months through February 2020.
So, who is buying all of this government debt?
There are a lot of buyers out there, but when you boil it all down, the US government wouldn’t be able to maintain this level of borrowing and spending without the backstop of the Federal Reserve.
The Fed was the biggest buyer of US Treasuries in July, adding $89 billion worth of bonds to its balance sheet, according to the most recent Treasury International Capital data. That brought its total holdings of US debt to $4.9 trillion as of the end of July. The Federal Reserve now holds a record 16.2% of the total government debt. It has monetized $2.18 trillion in US debt over the 12-month period through July.
Keep in mind, the Fed has bought these Treasuries with money created out of thin air.
Buy buying trillions in US Treasuries, the central bank effectively puts its thumb on the market for bonds, creating artificial demand, holding bond prices up and pressing yields down. This allows the US government to borrow far more than it could if it had to depend on the open market to service its debt.
With the Fed buoying the market, US commercial banks were the second-biggest buyer of Treasuries in July behind the Fed, adding $66 billion in July. Of course, commercial banks can always offload Treasuries to the Fed if need be.
Foreign investors are also buying Treasuries. Foreign central banks, companies, funds, and individuals bought $48 billion in Treasuries in July. Japan was by far the biggest buyer, adding $32 billion. Notably, China shed US Treasuries in July, continuing a trend. Since July 2019, the Chinese have sold $37 billion in US bonds. The Chinese recently hinted that they may whittle down holdings even further.
Japan is the biggest foreign holder of US debt with China trailing behind. Combined, China and Japan hold 8.9% of US government debt.
The Social Security Trust Fund, pension funds for federal civilian employees, pension funds for the US military, and other government funds shed $15 billion in July and $21 billion over the 12-month period.
US investors piled into Treasuries as a safe-haven at the height of the coronavirus lockdowns, but have started to trim their holdings. US private investors and institutions shed $93 billion worth of Treasuries in July.
The Federal Reserve isn’t the biggest holder of US debt, but it is the motor that makes the engine run. Without the central bank’s commitment to monetize debt, the US government would find it impossible to borrow and spend at its current rate. It would be constrained by the market demand for its bonds.
Our political climate has levied a lopsided justice system to the point that Jake Gardner, a Nebraska bar owner chose to commit suicide rather than face prison for defending his life, liberty, and property.
