The strategist pointed out that demographic changes can not be stopped and asserted that the GOP ’ s decision to embrace the type of politics represented by Trump and others will backfire .
Stevens noted that the majority of Americans under 15 are not white , suggesting that he expects most of them to vote Democratic .
“ They ’ re non-white when they turn 18 and start voting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican Party as we know it .
So you could deny gravity , but when you jump out of a window , gravity is going to win , ” he said .

inquisitr--2020-10-31--Big Tech Will Likely Shift 15 Million Election Votes ‘Without Anyone’s Awareness,’ Researcher Says

In a Friday appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight , Dr. Robert Epstein , the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology , sounded the alarm on the potential influence of Big Tech companies on the forthcoming 2020 presidential election .
Per Breitbart , the claim came after Carlson pressed the researchers on what effect these companies will have on the results of the election .
“ Based on the data that we ’ re collecting , I would say that if what we ’ re seeing is present nationwide they are probably shifting this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without anyone ’ s awareness , except for what I ’ m doing , without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace , ” the doctor said of the possibility .
The researcher claimed that “ bias in search results ” is a primary method of influencing votes in a covert manner and said that 600 of AIBRT ’ s field agents have been measuring this effect in swing states .
According to Epstein , based on just the first 150,000 searches the team has examined , there is a “ substantial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ten-of-ten search results on Google ’ s first page .
However , he noted that Bing and Yahoo do not follow the same pattern .
Although Big Tech companies have been accused of favoring left-wing politics for years , not all of them appear to fit the pattern .
As reported by NPR , data scientists with access to Facebook ’ s metrics claimed that no evidence exists of such a prejudice on the platform .
In addition , Salon reported that the platform is under fire for doing the opposite — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alternatives .
According to a company spokesperson , the purportedly one-side effects of the algorithm tweak believed to be behind the shift were not intentional .
“ We did not make changes with the intent of impacting individual publishers , ” they said .
As Salon noted , Mother Jones was affected more than Facebook allegedly planned .
Notably , the site ’ s Editor-in-Chief , Clara Jeffery , pointed out that a list of top Facebook pages on October 16 was dominated by conservative sources like Breitbart , Fox News , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Google continue to face scrutiny from researchers like Epstein , who previously warned of the threat to election integrity posed by Big Tech .
According to the researcher , the tactics he has thus discovered are probably not the only ones that are being employed by the technology giants .

In a Friday appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Dr. Robert Epstein, the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, sounded the alarm on the potential influence of Big Tech companies on the forthcoming 2020 presidential election.
Per Breitbart, the claim came after Carlson pressed the researchers on what effect large technology companies will have on the results of the election.
“Based on the data that we’re collecting, I would say that if what we’re seeing is present nationwide they are probably shifting this year in this election about 15 million votes without anyone’s awareness, except for what I’m doing, without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace,” the doctor said of the possibility.
The researcher claimed that “bias in search results” is a primary method of influencing votes in a covert manner and said that 600 of AIBRT’s field agents have been measuring this effect in swing states. According to Epstein, based on just the first 150,000 searches the team has examined, there is a “substantial pro-liberal bias” in anywhere from nine-of-ten to ten-of-ten search results on Google’s first page.
“And we’re seeing that bias in every single demographic group, in fact in one report we generated recently we saw more liberal bias in Google content going to conservatives than going to liberals.”
However, he noted that Bing and Yahoo do not follow the same pattern.

inquisitr--2020-10-31--Donald Trump & Republicans Snuck ‘Secret’ Middle-Class Tax Increase In Legislation, Economist Says

In a Saturday op-ed from The New York Times , Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz warned that Donald Trump and the Republican Party is planning to raise taxes on many Americans with a new “ secret ” provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act .
“ President Trump and his congressional allies hoodwinked us , ” he wrote .
“ The law they passed initially lowered taxes for most Americans , but it built-in automatic , stepped tax increases every two years that begin in 2021 and that by 2027 would affect nearly everyone but people at the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ income groups with incomes of $ 75,000 and under — that ’ s about 65 percent of taxpayers — will face a higher tax rate in 2027 than in 2019.
” Stiglitz claimed that the provision is essentially a tax increase that is “ dressed up ” as a reduction .

The economist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joint Economics Committee , which allegedly estimated that people with an income between $ 20,000 to $ 30,000 will pay an extra $ 365 next year .
But by 2027 , when all of the provision ’ s laws are in place , the bill will split the country into two groups : people making over $ 100,000 — who will get an average tax cut — and those earning under $ 100,000 , who will get hit hardest .
The columnist also claimed that Trump ’ s taxation bill thus far has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said most of the savings from the proposal went to stock buyback that was funneled into executive payments .
According to Stiglitz , Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ’ s plan would reverse most of the purported damage done by Trump ’ s tax plans .
If the Democratic Party is not elected , he said this harm will wreak even more havoc on U.S. citizens who are struggling .

In addition , the cuts decreased the corporate taxation rate by 40 percent .

This finding ran contrary to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ’ s claim that the legislation would provide America with a permanent economic boost .

Madame Tussauds Threw Donald Trump’s Wax Figure In The Trash As ‘Preparatory Measure’ Ahead Of Election Day

Madame Tussauds removed a wax figure of U.S. President Donald Trump from its show floor in Germany as a “ preparatory measure ” — and initially put it straight in the trash .
As People magazine reported , the Berlin wax museum wheeled away the figure representing the 74-year-old president ahead of Election Day .
Video footage showed employees wheeling it away in a trash bin alongside bags of garbage and signs with some of his favorite slogans , including “ You are fired !
” and “ Fake News !
” A museum official said they were preparing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second term .
Polls have shown his Democratic opponent , Joe Biden , pulling ahead both at a national level and in a series of key battleground states .
Biden has even pulled ahead in some traditional Republican strongholds , such as Georgia , and has been polling evenly with Trump in normally deep-red Texas .
In case Trump is not able to overcome the polls and the surge in early voting , the attraction is getting a jump on moving his figure out from their show floor .
“ Today ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ahead of the elections in the United States , ” the organization ’ s marketing manager , Orkide Yalcindag , told Reuters .
The decision could reflect the feelings of the German people .
A poll released this week found that Europeans overwhelmingly support Biden ahead of Election Day .
As Newsweek reported , the survey of 11,000 residents across five countries — Germany , Italy , Spain , France , and Great Britain — found that Trump had just single-digit support in four of them .
In Germany , only 8 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they could vote in the U.S. election .
This is not the first time that Madame Tussauds has drawn attention for removing some of its statues .
As The Inquisitr reported , the popular attraction decided to remove the figures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the royal section of its floor after the pair announced that they were taking a step back from their duties with the family and would be moving away from England .
The decision came under fire and led to some viral attention on social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying they were simply reflecting their new status within the family .

Joe Biden Slams Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Response As ‘Almost Criminal’ In Final Pitch To Black Voters

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden spent his Sunday in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , making a final pitch to Black voters in the key state , Fox News reported .
During a fiery speech , the Democrat took aim at President Donald Trump , slamming him for mishandling the federal government ’ s response to the coronavirus pandemic .
He described Trump ’ s handling of the crisis as “ almost criminal , ” noting that the pandemic has disproportionately affected the Black community .
Biden said that he would , if elected , develop a plan for “ full and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and also “ a plan to address the disproportionate way this virus has been hitting and devastating the Black community across America.
” The Democratic nominee cast Trump as a demagogue who seeks to divide Americans by the color of their skin .
Biden then went on to describe the Tuesday election as “ the most important election of our lifetimes.
” “ We ’ re at an inflection point , so we have to vote like we never did before , ” he said , proceeding to quote the late Rep. John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Lewis reminded us , freedom is not a state , freedom is an act .
We have to defend it , ” he stated .
As Fox News noted , the Philadelphia rally was part of the Biden campaign ’ s final push to drive Black turnout .
African-American voters have long been the backbone of the Democratic coalition , so Biden and his allies are looking to reach out the Black community in critical areas .
On Monday , the Democrat will pay a visit to Cleveland , Ohio and Pittsburgh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , former President Barack Obama will hit the campaign trail in Georgia .
More than 91 million votes have already been cast , so both Biden and Trump seem focused on galvanizing their respective bases .
Even though early voting records have been shattered , data reportedly suggests that turnout has remained low in communities of color , especially in critical battlegrounds such as Florida , Arizona and Pennsylvania .
This has allegedly alarmed some Biden campaign officials , who fear a repeat of 2016 , when then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton lost several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ color .
Trump has tried to make inroads with Black voters .
As reported by The New York Times , the president seems to have focused on wooing Black men , who are an important voting bloc in some must-win states .
Making marginal gains among Black men would be enough to help Trump in close races .
In 2016 , Trump won 13 percent of the Black male vote , but his advisers believe he could win as much as 20 percent this time .

The news comes shortly after reports that Trump plans to declare himself the winner on election night if it looks like he is leading , as The Inquisitr previously reported .
If Trump were to win in states like Florida , North Carolina , and Ohio , reports suggested that he might declare himself the winner rather than wait for all votes to be tabulated .

Ahead of his rally in North Carolina on Sunday evening, President Donald Trump said that he was planning to head in with a team of lawyers as soon as the polls close on Tuesday, saying that it’s necessary to know who won the election right away or else fraud could take place.
Trump spoke with reporters at a local airport — video of which can be viewed here — about counting ballots on election day.
He explained that he felt that in this modern era with computers, all votes should be counted and the results tabulated by midnight on November third.
He said that it would be a “terrible thing” if any ballots were collected after election day, as sometimes happens when ballots are postmarked prior to the election but not able to be counted until after.
He said that counting ballots after the election could lead to “very bad” things, but he didn’t say exactly what those things were.
He went on to say that it is “dangerous” if the ballots aren’t counted on election night as the rest of the world waits to hear who the winner is. He said that’s how fraud and “misuse” happens.
“I think it’s a terrible decision by the Supreme Court, a terrible decision. I don’t know if that’s going to be changed,” Trump continued. “We’re going to go in the night of, as soon as that election is over, we’re going in with our lawyers. But we don’t want to have Pennsylvania where you have a political governor, a very partisan guy, and we don’t want other states like Nevada where you have the head of the Democratic clubhouse as your governor, we don’t want to be in a position where he’s allowed every day to watch ballots come in.”
It wasn’t exactly clear how he felt counting ballots the days following the election led to fraud.
The president added that he was doing well in Nevada and Arizona, though polls show that the race is tighter there than it was in 2016 before saying that if people want their voice heard, they should have mailed out their ballots long before, at least a month, before the election.
Previously, Trump has slammed mail-in voting as fraudulent.

If Trump were to win in states like Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, reports suggested that he might declare himself the winner rather than wait for all votes to be tabulated.
