(CNN) The Proud Boys hashtag, which members of the far-right group have been using, was trending Sunday after gay men on Twitter hijacked it and flooded the feed with photos of their loved ones and families and with memes.
The Proud Boys recently made headlines by celebrating President Trump's reply at last week's debate, when he was asked to condemn White supremacists. The President instead used his allotted time to blame what he called "antifa and the left" for violence and to tell the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."
But now the gay men of Twitter are making the group's hashtag known for entirely different reasons.

The pledge references Article VI of the Constitution, which explicitly bars any religious tests for office in the federal government.

The effort is organized by the Article III Project, a group dedicated to backing the confirmation of Trump-nominated judges.
"The Constitution guarantees the right to free exercise of religion and bars all religious tests for federal office,” Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, said. “Over the past several years of confirmation hearings, Senate Judiciary Democrats Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Dick Durbin, and Mazie Hirono have clearly demonstrated that the anti-Catholic bigotry lives loudly within them. That is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and we challenge every Democrat on the Committee to sign the Article VI pledge and refrain from any and all attacks on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholicism."

10 days that shook the presidency

Saturday , Sept. 26 , was among the best days of the Trump presidency , or so some of us thought watching the president introduce in the Rose Garden his sterling candidate for Ruth Bader Ginsburg 's seat on the Supreme Court .
The academic and professional credentials of Amy Coney Barrett , 48 , a U.S. appeals court judge , were superb .
Moreover , she was a devout Catholic and mother of seven , two of whom were adoptees from Haiti .
From every standpoint , a 10-strike for Donald Trump .
Ahead was the Tuesday debate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the long-awaited opportunity to expose Sleepy Joe 's visible loss of mental and verbal acuity in the four years since he was vice president .
TRENDING : As tension grips Capitol Hill , report that Amy Coney Barrett already had COVID emerges Sunday , however , The New York Times detonated a bomb directly beneath the Trump campaign .
Declaring that it had Trump 's tax returns , the Times story blared : '' Donald J. Trump paid $ 750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ House , he paid another $ 750 .
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years – largely because he reported losing much more money than he made . ''
Far from being a billionaire , the Times said , Trump was mired in debt with hundreds off millions of dollars in loans coming due in 2021 .
Suddenly , Trump was on the defensive .
And in the Cleveland debate , he began a series of accusations and insults that lasted 90 minutes .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. presidential history .
Moderator Chris Wallace and the media agreed that the descent into chaos was caused by the endless interruptions of Trump .
Believing he accomplished what he had come to do , Trump headed out for the friendly country of Minnesota 's Iron Range .
On the return trip on Air Force One , Hope Hicks , feeling unwell , was quarantined .
She later tested positive for COVID-19 .
At 1 a.m. Friday , came word came that both the president and first lady had tested positive .
By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the White House to Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda .

Chris Christie of his debate prep team , Kellyanne Conway , and Sens .
Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate Judiciary Committee that will vote on Judge Barrett .
Sunday , with a crowd in front of Walter Reed loudly cheering for him , Trump commandeered an SUV and ordered it to drive by his followers so he could wave to them .
In the front seat of the SUV , in masks and protective gear , were Trump 's Secret Service agents .
The cumulative impact of these 10 days has been distracting at best and dreadful at worst .
And the pressure from Trump , to get back to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is his take as well .
The coronavirus and how he has handled it , the contraction of COVID-19 and how Trump got infected , his prior mockery of masks and ridicule of many who wear them , the specter of thousands of maskless Trumpsters at MAGA rallies – all are now the stuff of front-page news and back-page commentary .

On the weekend after the Trump-Biden debate , a Wall Street Journal poll found that Trump had fallen 14 points behind Biden , and , in an average of national polls , Biden now led him by 8 points .
Trump has four weeks to turn it around .
And his task , while easy to describe , is not so easy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and soft Biden voters that Joe is simply not up to the job of president .
Assuming he is well enough to campaign as he used to , Trump has to convince the country that Joe Biden is too big a risk to take .
He has two more debates to do what he failed to do in the first debate .

wnd--2020-10-05--This black law prof is the poster girl for victimology

Thankfully , many persons of color are realizing that it 's not the so-called `` white man '' that is out to get them , nor are so-called `` white police officers '' the threat to persons with a different skin pigmentation .
But , I get ahead of myself .
Sadly , there are still a number of Americans , claiming to be African because at some time in the past , Africans who had been hunted , trapped and captured by other Africans on the Ivory Coast , specifically the Ashanti and Dahomey Tribes , sold them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Somehow that fact gets overlooked , and whites are blamed exclusively for the evil of slavery in America , slavery that could not have taken place without Africans and Muslims .
Thus , despite the long record of accomplishment , contributions and inclusion of all peoples in America , there remain those claiming to be American with the prefix `` African '' who behave like feral Palestinians , i.e.
, they live and breathe to be acrimonious victims .
This brings me to Danielle M. Conway who is a Penn State University @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Center and a Donald J. Farage Professor of Law .

Today , I am a member of that vulnerable group .
And while I would do anything to shield you from this pain , it is likely that you may one day be vulnerable too .

Thankfully, many persons of color are realizing that it's not the so-called "white man" that is out to get them, nor are so-called "white police officers" the threat to persons with a different skin pigmentation. But, I get ahead of myself.
Sadly, there are still a number of Americans, claiming to be African because at some time in the past, Africans who had been hunted, trapped and captured by other Africans on the Ivory Coast, specifically the Ashanti and Dahomey Tribes, sold them to traders, chief of whom were Muslims. Somehow that fact gets overlooked, and whites are blamed exclusively for the evil of slavery in America, slavery that could not have taken place without Africans and Muslims.
Thus, despite the long record of accomplishment, contributions and inclusion of all peoples in America, there remain those claiming to be American with the prefix "African" who behave like feral Palestinians, i.e., they live and breathe to be acrimonious victims. This brings me to Danielle M. Conway who is a Penn State University dean at the school's Dickinson Law Center and a Donald J. Farage Professor of Law.
Penn State University President Eric J. Barron shared a message with the university community, denouncing hate-filled speech and urging solidarity against racism in the face of nationwide unrest. His letter is dated June 3, 2020.
The Penn State president, in what ostensibly guilted white people for everything but sunrise and sunset, concluded his gurgitation with a letter of victimology by the aforementioned Conway that would have brought me to tears if I were: weak, mindless, historically illiterate and willing to accept as fact every statement of abject stupidity her kind spews.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Following is Conway's letter:
Dear Dickinson Law Community, I will disclose to you what I am experiencing as a Black woman living through a pandemic that is killing our brothers and sisters, and yes, disproportionately killing our Black brothers and sisters. I will disclose to you what I am experiencing as a wife to an African man and mother to a Black son, fighting the paralysis that handcuffs me when they leave my sight. I will disclose to you what I am feeling as a veteran who has served her country for 27 years because I am a patriot, but hearing a president discount me for my race and my gender. I will disclose to you what I am feeling as the daughter of a dead father who was a police officer who bled blue and perpetrated many of the ills we rebuke in this very moment. I will disclose to you what I am experiencing as a Black woman leading at Penn State Dickinson Law where students, staff, faculty and administrators are working at this very moment to act to support vulnerable members of our community. Today, I am a member of that vulnerable group. And while I would do anything to shield you from this pain, it is likely that you may one day be vulnerable too. I am exasperated, disconsolate and infuriated by seemingly never-ending acts of overt and covert racism as well as near impenetrable institutions in American society that build their foundations on the degradation of black bodies and psyches. Racism is an incessant malady and a scourge to all of humanity. In this way, not one of us is safe. Does systemic racism exist in the United States?

I stand with allies who use their privilege to place a human shield between justice and injustice. I stand up and speak out, knowing that it places me and my beloved family within the sights of those who have lost their humanity. I stand and persevere because to do otherwise would be to give up on humanity and the power and the promise of the rule of law. I will disclose this last truth: I believe in each one of you and your individual and collective abilities to use this moment and the skills you are learning as law students to banish injustice, inequality, racism and sexism. You are the reason I can compartmentalize my fears and bracket my breaking heart. We have the power to stop killing Black people. We have the power to stop weaponizing white privilege against Black people. We have the power to protect Black mothers from the constant assaults on their psyches that come from knowing their Black sons' bodies can be snatched from their arms. We have the power to love one another, to respect one another, and to be decent to one another. We now need the will. I remain always in service to you, to my country, and to the rule of law.

I hope you are done wiping your eyes after reading Conway's jeremiad. This woman is: a) a pernicious liar; b) the winner of the Helen Keller award for being blind to reality; or c) she has found that by embracing victimology she can avoid factual reality and at the same time be a celebrated crayon by those crayon types she claims to fear.
She and LeBron James must have compared notes; both he and Conway expulse the same damnable woes of blacks being afraid to leave their house because there's a white cop waiting at the local Starbucks to kill them.
Everything Conway claimed in her letter undermines her fitness to be a professor. She is inculcating malleable minds that have already been brainwashed with the toxic alchemy of "white police bad" and "white people have a genetic abundance of privilege just because they're white."
Conway either purposefully ignores factual reality or she is a perennial winner of the aforementioned Helen Keller award for blindness to reality.
Here are a few facts that prove it isn't the white police she should worry about killing her and/or her family, nor are they responsible for, as she put it, "the paralysis that handcuffs me when they leave my sight."
Facts:
Over an 86-year period, spanning from 1882 to 1968, there were 3,446 blacks lynched in the America.
Today approximately 1,876 black babies are murdered by abortion every day. That means that the total number of blacks lynched covering an 86-year period is surpassed by abortion approximately every 45 hours.
Between 7,000 and 8,000 blacks are murdered by other blacks annually.
Between 1976 and 2011, 279,384 blacks were killed, with 262,621 of them being killed by another black person. That means 94% of all blacks murdered were murdered by another black person.
Blacks make up 13% of the population and yet account for more than 50% of homicide victims.
Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is 6 times that of whites, and in some cities it is 22 times higher than that of whites.
As Dr. Walter E. Williams has noted: The aggregate number of black soldiers killed in military combat in the Korean War, The Vietnam War and every war since 1980 totals 18,515. That means black males are safer on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan than they are on the streets of Philadelphia, Camden, Oakland, New York, Chicago, or any other streets one wants to include.
17.3 million black children have been murdered before they were born by the barbaric practice of abortion, since the allowance and encouragement of child killing was legalized.
Abortion is responsible for reducing the aggregate black population in America by 30% in just 44 years.
36.3% of all abortions are black women murdering their children.
It is a stunning reality that at the time the Civil Rights Act was signed, 87% of black homes were married two-parent households. Forty percent of blacks were business owners. Today, blacks lead the known world in every quantifiable negative statistic regarding family and personal responsibility. (See: "How I Respond To Bigoted Black People," Feb. 26, 2019)
The fact that Conway lauds her military service does not make her a patriot, as she tries to claim; it makes her a discredit to the uniform she wore as she profiteers by fomenting discord, divisiveness and disrespect for authority based upon melanin content and/or lack thereof. Perhaps she would like to consult the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and how it views disrespect of authority.
The Sept. 21, 2020, Chicago SunTimes newspaper reported that the weekend ending that date: "Eight people were wounded in two separate shootings less than an hour apart Saturday in West Englewood and West Pullman. Forty-five people were shot, 10 of them fatally, between 5 p.m. Sept. 18 and 5 a.m. Sept. 21, 2020, in Chicago."
Maybe, if Conway can dispense with the phony "I'm so afraid a white 'poe-lees-man' gonna kill my child" she could answer the question: How many of these people were shot by a white police officer? The answer is none! The weekend prior there were 42 shootings with 12 dead in Chicago.
It's safe to say that Conway is worried about the wrong people killing her family and/or her.
Let me direct this bipedal miasmas of lies guilt, and inculcated victimology to my good friend and colleague James (Jim) Simpson. Jim wrote a powerful article for Accuracy in Media titled, "Black Criminals, White Victims, and White Guilt."
Jim points out unpleasant truths for people like Conway and those like Barron, the university president. His article notes that in a 10-year period blacks, who comprise 13% of the population, were responsible for 46% of police deaths. Jim points out the instances of white police fatally shooting a black person and a white person: The ratio is approximately 3 to 1, comparing white to black perpetrators fatally shot.
I'm disgusted by bigoted illiterates prostituting lies and acrimony under the guise of social justice. If this woman is so afraid that every time her family leaves the house without her she suffers episodes of PTSD, I suggest she reposition her head, because clearly it is in position that is depriving her brain oxygen. (Sarcasm intended.)
And let me close with this: President Trump isn't spreading hatred as Conway parrots from the neo-Leninist talking points. President Trump is spreading increased jobs, increased salaries, increased retirement benefits, increased home ownership, prison reform, money to Historic Black Colleges and Universities, ad nauseam.
I suggest Conway let me know if it's necessary for me to provide that data for her and Barron. She is free to cry about my being neither politically correct nor nice; but I don't have to be either to be factual and right.

He makes millions of dollars .
And while we 're at it , why is it , just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moscow 's wife gave your son $ 3.5 million .
What did he do to deserve it ?
What did he do with Burisma ? ''
Biden fired back : `` None of that is true , '' insisting it had been `` totally discredited . ''
The Republican-led Senate Homeland Security and Finance committees released an 87-page interim on Sept. 23 of their findings after investigating Hunter Biden 's work with Burisma .
The report said `` officials within the Obama administration ignored the glaring warning signs when the vice president ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ company owned by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch . ''
Hunter Biden , according to the report , `` received $ 3.5 million in a wire transfer '' from Elena Baturina , regarded as Russia 's richest woman .

If , indeed , 760 million have been infected at some point during the outbreak and the number of confirmed deaths is about 1 million , the infection fatality rate is only 0.13 % .

Last month, the Centers for Disease Control issued new estimates that showed people under 50 years infected by COVID-19 have nearly a 100% survival rate. It broke down to a 99.997% survival rate for 0-19; 99.98% for ages 20-49; 99.5% for 50-69; and 94.6% for those over 70.
Those who died of coronavirus, according to the CDC, had an average of 2.6 comorbidities, meaning more than two chronic diseases along with COVID-19. Overall, the CDC says, just 6% of the people counted as COVID-19 deaths died of COVID-19 alone.
The CDC's overall count shows a significant downward trend from a peak of 17,054 deaths on April 18.
A recent study by researchers at the Houston Methodist Research Institute raised concerns about coronavirus mutations as the fall season begins. Among more than 5,000 genetic sequences of COVID-19 they found more than 90% of samples contained a mutation.
Significantly, however, the Houston researchers found the mutations did not make the virus deadlier.
Florida opens up
The CDC's latest survival-rate figures were cited by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis late last month at a roundtable he hosted with health experts from Harvard and Stanford prior to his decision to reopen bars and restaurants in his state to 100% capacity.
DeSantis said that along with lifting state restrictions on restaurants and bars, the state is also barring local governments from shutting down businesses or implementing restrictions without any economic or health justifications.
At his roundtable, DeSantis asked Stanford professor of medicine Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya about the studies showing 90% of the COVID-19 testing is too sensitive.
"We're quarantining across the country probably hundreds of thousands or millions of people who aren't even contagious, and I think that obviously has a huge cost to society that doesn't seem to be getting a lot of discussion now," the governor said.
Bhattacharya agreed that "what is being amplified" in the testing is "something that is not going to pose any risk to you or to others."
"It's not a false positive in a technical sense," he said, "but in a functional sense it's a false positive."


wnd--2020-10-05--If it were Trump vs. Pence, which would evangelicals choose?

The massive groundswell of prayer support for President Trump as he battles COVID-19 reminds us of just how strong his conservative Christian base remains .
Yet his performance at the first presidential debate was so unchristian that the question remains : Why are so many so loyal ?
This illustration will help to explain .
Let 's say that you and your spouse are committed Christian conservatives , raising your four children to honor the Lord and live by biblical principles .
Included in those principles are the words of Jesus , who taught that the meek and the peacemakers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason you eschew violent entertainment , from violent video games to blood-and-gore movies to extremely violent sports .
You live in the suburbs , and your next-door neighbor became famous years ago as the toughest bar fighter in the region , cracking open many a skull in the process .
He then transitioned to cage fighting where he has made an excellent living .
And while he is a good neighbor , he is not a good role model for your kids .
He uses all kinds of profanity .
He still drinks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One day , two of your kids come home from school quite shaken .
They were cursed out by some older teens who mocked their Christian faith .
They were spat on , and they were threatened .
They were also told , `` Just see what our dad is going to do your parents !
He hates Christians even more than we do .
There 's a good reason they call him Crazy Sam ! ''
Later that night , to your shock , Crazy Sam shows up at your door with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them looking ominous and angry .
They begin to scream threats against you , and you can see they have tire irons and knives in their hands .
TRENDING : As tension grips Capitol Hill , report that Amy Coney Barrett already had COVID emerges Before you can respond , your cage-fighter neighbor comes running over , ripping into Crazy Sam and his cronies , getting stabbed and struck in the process , but beating them up even worse until they are subdued and disarmed .
Then , as the police arrive to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the attackers with a threat : `` If you ever come near this family – and that includes your kids coming near their kids – I will tear you apart with my own hands . ''
How would you now feel about your neighbor 's violence ?
Would you see it a different light ?
Would you recognize that God just used this profane character , who makes his living beating people up , to save your lives ?
You still might not approve of the way he makes his living , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gratitude and even loyalty toward him .
Your whole perspective would change .
Of course , this is meant as an illustration rather than a precise analogy , but the application is clear .
It is not just that Trump fights .
It is not even that Trump fights back .
It is that Trump fights for us .
That 's how many Americans feel in general .
Trump is fighting for them .
( Of course , the left paints this quite differently , claiming that it is a matter of racist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country white .
In reality , such people represent a very small minority of the whole . )
Trump is willing to expose the lying media .
Trump is willing to take on the political establishment .
Trump is willing to confront the radical leftists who want to disfigure our nation .
Trump is willing to call out Big Pharma .
So what if he lies too .
So what if he 's nasty in the process .
So what if he creates deeper divisions along the way .
There will always be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outweighs the bad .
When it comes to Christian conservatives , the feelings run just as deep .
There are hostile forces that want to wipe us out .
They despise our beliefs .
They want to silence us in the public square .
They want to indoctrinate our children in the schools .
They want to steal our most fundamental liberties .
They also stand for the most egregious sin in our nation , namely , the slaughter of the unborn .
At last , we have someone fighting back for us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last we have someone tenacious enough to keep his word , no matter what .
Yes , he is the last person we would have chosen for the job , just like the cage-fighting neighbor was the last person we would have looked to for help .
But these are existential issues Trump is fighting for , from the life of the unborn to our religious liberties , and from standing up to Communist China to facing down Islamic terrorism .
We appreciate him fighting on our behalf .
( For my 5-minute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on this subject , go here . )
To underscore this train of thought , what if , after Trump , Mike Pence became our president ?
He is known as a committed Christian .
He shares our convictions on many key issues .
And he is anything but Trump in terms of his own personality and demeanor .
What would be the concern that many Christian conservatives would have ?
`` He 's not tough enough !
He 's too nice !
He does n't have enough backbone ! ''
I trust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure , I would gladly vote for a Mike Pence should he be the Republican candidate in the future , given the current state of the Democratic Party .
But my sense is that many , if not most conservative Christian voters would vote for Trump today rather than Pence , simply because we need a street fighter right now , and Trump is that proven man .
Where we cross a dangerous line is when we become apologists for Trump , when we defend his indefensible and even destructive behavior , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Lord , when we are better known as Trump supporters than as Jesus followers .
That 's a major reason I wrote Evangelicals at the Crossroads : Will We Pass the Trump Test ? ''
And by `` the Trump test '' I meant two things .
First , can we vote for him without destroying our Christian witness ?
Second , can we unite around Jesus even if we do n't agree about Trump ?
I believe we can and must pass both aspects of the Trump test for the good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our reputation .
But part of passing that test ties in with our ability to explain why , despite Trump 's offensive personality , we so strongly support him .
He fights for us , getting battered in the process .
We now feel a loyalty to him .
