President Donald Trump has encouraged Americans to gather and offer thanks for the “ the abundant blessings in our lives ” in celebration of Thanksgiving .
In a proclamation ahead of the national holiday , Trump urged Americans to commemorate the country ’ s “ founding traditions of faith , family , and friendship , and give thanks for the principles of freedom , liberty , and democracy.
” It is a custom for presidents to issue proclamations celebrating national holidays .
His comments also called on Americans to “ gather , in homes and places of worship , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for our many blessings , ” which has received scrutiny from the media for contravening public health expert advice and guidance .
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation earlier this month asking Americans not to travel for family gatherings in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 , the disease caused by the CCP ( Chinese Communist Party ) virus .
Most people who get the disease show few or no symptoms and the vast majority , over 99 percent , survive .
“ The tragedy that could happen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is coming to this family gathering and they could end up severely ill , hospitalized , or dying , ” Dr. Henry Walke , the CDC ’ s COVID-19 incident manager , told reporters during a telebriefing .
“ And we don ’ t want that to happen .
These times are tough , it ’ s been a long outbreak , almost 11 months , and we understand people are tired.
” Other health officials have instead recommended virtual gatherings to celebrate the holiday .
Meanwhile , Democratic nominee Joe Biden highlighted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wednesday , telling Americans to prepare for a “ long , hard winter ” and to “ forego many of the traditions that have long made this holiday a special one.
” “ We need to remember we are at war with a virus—not with each other , ” Biden said , according to his prepared remarks .
Trump ’ s proclamation underscored the strength Americans displayed during the pandemic and that the adversity revealed the courage and generosity of Americans .
“ First responders , medical professionals , essential workers , neighbors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and sacrificed for their fellow Americans , and the prayers of our people have once again lifted up our Nation , providing comfort , healing , and strength during times of uncertainty , ” Trump said .
“ Despite unprecedented challenges , we have not faltered in the face of adversity.

Cuomo ’ s order mandated that attendance at religious services remain at 10 people or under in so-called red zones and at 25 or under in orange zones .
“ Stemming the spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it is hard to see how the challenged regulations can be regarded as ‘ narrowly tailored , ’ ” the Supreme Court said in the unsigned majority opinion ( pdf ) .

President Donald Trump has encouraged Americans to gather and offer thanks for the “the abundant blessings in our lives” in celebration of Thanksgiving.
In a proclamation ahead of the national holiday, Trump urged Americans to commemorate the country’s “founding traditions of faith, family, and friendship, and give thanks for the principles of freedom, liberty, and democracy.” It is a custom for presidents to issue proclamations celebrating national holidays.
His comments also called on Americans to “gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings,” which has received scrutiny from the media for contravening public health expert advice and guidance.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation earlier this month asking Americans not to travel for family gatherings in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Most people who get the disease show few or no symptoms and the vast majority, over 99 percent, survive.
“The tragedy that could happen is that one of your family members is coming to this family gathering and they could end up severely ill, hospitalized, or dying,” Dr. Henry Walke, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, told reporters during a telebriefing. “And we don’t want that to happen.

Trump’s proclamation underscored the strength Americans displayed during the pandemic and that the adversity revealed the courage and generosity of Americans.
“First responders, medical professionals, essential workers, neighbors, and countless other patriots have served and sacrificed for their fellow Americans, and the prayers of our people have once again lifted up our Nation, providing comfort, healing, and strength during times of uncertainty,” Trump said. “Despite unprecedented challenges, we have not faltered in the face of adversity.”
He also expressed his gratitude toward U.S. Armed Forces who were unable to return home to their families for this holiday.
As reports of an increase of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, several governors have imposed harsh measures, citing the pandemic, including New York Gov.

Cuomo’s order mandated that attendance at religious services remain at 10 people or under in so-called red zones and at 25 or under in orange zones.
“Stemming the spread of COVID-19 is unquestionably a compelling interest, but it is hard to see how the challenged regulations can be regarded as ‘narrowly tailored,’” the Supreme Court said in the unsigned majority opinion (pdf).
“They are far more restrictive than any COVID-related regulations that have previously come before the Court, much tighter than those adopted by many other jurisdictions hard-hit by the pandemic, and far more severe than has been shown to be required to prevent the spread of the virus at the applicants’ services.”

Virginia: Sheriff’s Office Warns Residents of Holiday Gatherings, Encourages Neighbors to Snitch on Neighbors

In a Thanksgiving Eve press release , the Warren County , Virginia Sheriff 's Office warned residents against holding holiday @

Last Updated on November 26, 2020
In a Thanksgiving Eve press release, the Warren County, Virginia Sheriff’s Office warned residents against holding holiday gatherings in their own homes and even encouraged neighbors to snitch on neighbors caught celebrating with friends and family.
“With the Thanksgiving Holiday upon us, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office wishes our community a happy and safe holiday weekend,” the statement, approved for release by Major J.A. Driskill, read. Immediately following the pleasantries, the office announced that they would “educate” citizens on being “responsible neighbors” over the holidays, apparently by reminding them of Governor Northam’s COVID-19 restrictions outlined in Executive Order #67 and threatening criminal charges against those who violate it.
“Per Executive Order #67, enforcement is the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Health. This shall include public and private in-person gatherings of more than 25 individuals being prohibited. A gathering is ‘defined as but not limited to parties, celebrations, or other social events, whether they occur indoors or outdoors.’ Violations of section B paragraphs 1,2, and 3 of this Order shall be Class 1 misdemeanors…”
Keeping with the Stasi-like tactics encouraged by state and local governments from the outset of COVID-19 restrictions, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office encouraged residents to report suspected violations of the Governor’s order directly to the Virginia Department of Health.
“…concerned residents are directed to report suspected violations directly to VDH online”
The statement didn’t go over well when posted to Facebook, where citizens of the deeply conservative county (over 65% of Warren’s voters supported President Trump’s 2016 election bid) openly mocked the law enforcement agency and Governor Northam’s executive order alike.
“What a joke. This is BS! I will never ever comply with unlawful orders by a tyrant. Sic Semper Tyrannis!” one commenter wrote, while dozens of Warren County residents laugh reacted to the Sheriff’s press release.

Twitter has reversed their decision to censor the website of attorney Sidney Powell, claiming the link was mistakenly marked as unsafe.
Users were blocked from sharing links to Powell’s website earlier today after she filed lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia on Wednesday challenging the results of the presidential election and alleging “massive election fraud” and foreign influence.
Powell has argued that the election was “rigged” for Joe Biden, citing numerous witnesses, expert testimony, documentation, and statistical improbabilities.
The lawsuit claims that in Georgia alone 96,600 mail-in ballots “were fraudulently cast” and a further “136,098 ballots were illegally counted as a result of improper manipulation of the Dominion software.”
In Michigan, Powell claimed there were “additional categories of ‘traditional’ voting fraud and Michigan Election Code violations, supplemented by healthy doses of harassment, intimidation, discrimination, abuse and even physical removal of Republican poll challengers to eliminate any semblance of transparency, objectivity or fairness from the vote-counting process.”
According to Powell, the software used in the process was designed to make ballot-stuffing hard to detect by a simple audit.
“Smartmatic and Dominion were founded by foreign oligarchs and dictators to ensure computerized ballot-stuffing and vote manipulation to whatever level was needed to make certain Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez never lost an election,” she argued.
Powell has said there are enough ballots affected for the courts to set aside the results of the 2020 election in each state.

Supreme Court Rules Against Democrat Andrew Cuomo, Upholds Constitution’s Guarantee of Religious Liberty in Slim 5-4 Ruling — Turncoat John Roberts Sides With Libs

A gigantic victory for religious liberty late Wednesday night at the U.S. Supreme Court .
In a 5-4 ruling , the justices told New York Governor Andrew Cuomo he can ’ t discriminate against religious groups when it comes to Covid-19 restrictions .
Newest justice Amy Coney Barrett gave the majority in this ruling its fifth vote .
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices in dissent .
‘ Even in a Pandemic , the Constitution Can not Be Put Away & Forgotten ’ The ruling said , “ Members of this Court are not public health experts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of those with special expertise and responsibility in this area .
But even in a pandemic , the Constitution can not be put away and forgotten .
The restrictions at issue here , by effectively barring many from attending religious services , strike at the very heart of the First Amendment ’ s guarantee of religious liberty.
” The religious liberty defense group Becket represented Orthodox Jews asking for relief from Cuomo ’ s restrictions .
Becket Senior Counsel Luke Goodrich reacted , stating , “ Biggest takeaway : The Court resoundingly rejects @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Instead , all governments must recognize the Constitution still controls during a pandemic.
” The Court labeled the restrictions Cuomo has slapped on attendance at religious services “ very severe , ” pointing out “ In red zones , no more than 10 persons may attend each religious service , and in orange zones , attendance is capped at 25.
” The justices said the Covid-19 restrictions certainly aren ’ t neutral towards religion , “ Because they single out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment.
” While religious gatherings in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or fewer worshippers , the Court pointed out , “ Businesses categorized as ‘ essential ’ may admit as many people as they wish .
And the list of ‘ essential ’ businesses includes things such as acupuncture facilities , campgrounds , garages , as well as many whose services are not limited to those that can be regarded as essential.
” In a concurrence , Justice Neal Gorsuch wrote , “ It is time – past time – to make plain that , while the pandemic poses many grave challenges , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tolerates color-coded executive edicts that reopen liquor stores and bike shops but shutters churches , synagogues.
” The Court ruled , “ There can be no question that the challenged restrictions if enforced , will cause irreparable harm.
” The justices acknowledged some worshippers could view services on television .
But they wrote , “ Such remote viewing is not the same as personal attendance .
Catholics who watch a Mass at home can not receive communion , and there are important religious traditions in the Orthodox Jewish faith that require personal attendance.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ New York could have tied attendance to the size of the building rather than imposing a hard cap.
” The ruling spoke about how most of the churches or synagogues involved in this case can seat at least 400 people , in a couple of cases , more than 1,000 .
“ It is hard to believe that admitting more than 10 people to a 1,000-seat church or 400-seat synagogue would create a more serious health risk than the many other activities that the State allows , ” the ruling stated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Jewish plaintiffs in this case .
He said after the ruling , “ Governor Cuomo should have known that openly targeting Jews for a special COVID crackdown was never going to be constitutional .
But treating synagogues and churches worse than the pet stores , liquor stores , and department stores also just didn ’ t make any sense . ''
Rassbach added , `` The Supreme Court was right to step in and allow Jews and Catholics to worship as they have for centuries.
” The Heritage Foundation ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of religious liberties , said on Twitter , “ I ’ m thankful that we have a Supreme Court that won ’ t allow politicians to ignore the Constitution ’ s protections of religious liberty.
” Fitting this Ruling Came Just as Americans Celebrate Those Who Fled here for Religious Freedom “ The Court sent a clear and important signal : a global pandemic does not give lawmakers license to discriminate on the basis of religion , ” stated Ashley McGuire , senior fellow at The Catholic Association .
“ How fitting that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the day we celebrate those who first came to America in search of this basic freedom .
Countless Americans whose right to worship has been unjustly curtailed by policy makers singling out churches during this pandemic have reason for an extra measure of gratitude today.
” “ Today , as Americans gather around altars and dining room tables and give thanks to God for the blessings that He has showered on us , we can add thanks for a Constitution that protects religious liberty in our country and a Supreme Court which refuses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commented Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie , also of The Catholic Association .
“ The Constitution forbids government officials from treating religious Americans like second-class citizens , ” remarked Ryan Tucker , Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel .
“ As the court made clear , New York Gov .
Cuomo ’ s executive order singled out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment , barring many from attending religious services .
In light of this ruling , we call on all elected officials to amend any religious discriminatory orders .
The First Amendment requires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its religious communities.
” Becket ’ s Goodrich summed up , “ This is a HUGE win for religious freedom .
All governments are now on notice that they won ’ t get a free pass when they treat worship worse than secular businesses .
Neither the Constitution nor the Supreme Court will sleep through the pandemic.

A gigantic victory for religious liberty late Wednesday night at the U.S. Supreme Court. In a 5-4 ruling, the justices told New York Governor Andrew Cuomo he can’t discriminate against religious groups when it comes to Covid-19 restrictions.
Newest justice Amy Coney Barrett gave the majority in this ruling its fifth vote. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices in dissent.
‘Even in a Pandemic, the Constitution Cannot Be Put Away & Forgotten’
The ruling said, “Members of this Court are not public health experts, and we should respect the judgment of those with special expertise and responsibility in this area. But even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten. The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty.”
The religious liberty defense group Becket represented Orthodox Jews asking for relief from Cuomo’s restrictions.
Restrictions ‘Very Severe’
Becket Senior Counsel Luke Goodrich reacted, stating, “Biggest takeaway: The Court resoundingly rejects blind deference to Covid-related restrictions on worship. Instead, all governments must recognize the Constitution still controls during a pandemic.”
The Court labeled the restrictions Cuomo has slapped on attendance at religious services “very severe,” pointing out “In red zones, no more than 10 persons may attend each religious service, and in orange zones, attendance is capped at 25.”
The justices said the Covid-19 restrictions certainly aren’t neutral towards religion, “Because they single out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment.”
Churches: Limit of 10; ‘Essential’ Businesses: Unlimited
While religious gatherings in a red zone are limited to 10 or fewer worshippers, the Court pointed out, “Businesses categorized as ‘essential’ may admit as many people as they wish. And the list of ‘essential’ businesses includes things such as acupuncture facilities, campgrounds, garages, as well as many whose services are not limited to those that can be regarded as essential.”
In a concurrence, Justice Neal Gorsuch wrote, “It is time – past time – to make plain that, while the pandemic poses many grave challenges, there is no world in which the Constitution tolerates color-coded executive edicts that reopen liquor stores and bike shops but shutters churches, synagogues.”
‘Will Cause Irreparable Harm’
The Court ruled, “There can be no question that the challenged restrictions if enforced, will cause irreparable harm.”
The justices acknowledged some worshippers could view services on television. But they wrote, “Such remote viewing is not the same as personal attendance. Catholics who watch a Mass at home cannot receive communion, and there are important religious traditions in the Orthodox Jewish faith that require personal attendance.”
Goodrich pointed out the justices suggested, “New York could have tied attendance to the size of the building rather than imposing a hard cap.”
Why Restrict a 1,000-seat Church to 10 Worshippers?
The ruling spoke about how most of the churches or synagogues involved in this case can seat at least 400 people, in a couple of cases, more than 1,000.
“It is hard to believe that admitting more than 10 people to a 1,000-seat church or 400-seat synagogue would create a more serious health risk than the many other activities that the State allows,” the ruling stated.
Becket senior counsel Eric Rassbach works with the Jewish plaintiffs in this case. He said after the ruling, “Governor Cuomo should have known that openly targeting Jews for a special COVID crackdown was never going to be constitutional. But treating synagogues and churches worse than the pet stores, liquor stores, and department stores also just didn’t make any sense."
Rassbach added, "The Supreme Court was right to step in and allow Jews and Catholics to worship as they have for centuries.”
The Heritage Foundation’s Ryan T. Anderson, a leading defender of religious liberties, said on Twitter, “I’m thankful that we have a Supreme Court that won’t allow politicians to ignore the Constitution’s protections of religious liberty.”
Fitting this Ruling Came Just as Americans Celebrate Those Who Fled here for Religious Freedom
“The Court sent a clear and important signal: a global pandemic does not give lawmakers license to discriminate on the basis of religion,” stated Ashley McGuire, senior fellow at The Catholic Association. “How fitting that this injunction protecting the faithful comes on the day we celebrate those who first came to America in search of this basic freedom. Countless Americans whose right to worship has been unjustly curtailed by policy makers singling out churches during this pandemic have reason for an extra measure of gratitude today.”
“Today, as Americans gather around altars and dining room tables and give thanks to God for the blessings that He has showered on us, we can add thanks for a Constitution that protects religious liberty in our country and a Supreme Court which refuses to abandon that first freedom,” commented Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, also of The Catholic Association.
Constitution & Court Won’t ‘Sleep Through the Pandemic’
“The Constitution forbids government officials from treating religious Americans like second-class citizens,” remarked Ryan Tucker, Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel. “As the court made clear, New York Gov. Cuomo’s executive order singled out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment, barring many from attending religious services. In light of this ruling, we call on all elected officials to amend any religious discriminatory orders. The First Amendment requires the government to protect the rights of its religious communities.”
Becket’s Goodrich summed up, “This is a HUGE win for religious freedom. All governments are now on notice that they won’t get a free pass when they treat worship worse than secular businesses. Neither the Constitution nor the Supreme Court will sleep through the pandemic.”

thelibertydaily--2020-11-26--Leftist Lunatic Joy Behar Faces Backlash After Calling Strong Christian Faith a ‘Mental Illness’

'It ’ s one thing to talk to Jesus ; it ’ s another thing when Jesus talks to you' High profile Christians like Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Vice President Mike Pence have been subject to attacks for their faith .
But after `` The View ” host Joy Behar took aim at Pence , the backlash proved Christians are not taking abuse in silence .
The tipping point was when Behar trashed Pence for his faith during a 2018 segment .
“ It ’ s one thing to talk to Jesus ; it ’ s another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Behar said .
Pence was prompted to reply on behalf of all Christians .
“ It ’ s an insult not to me , but to the vast majority of the American people who like me cherish their faith , ” he said on C-SPAN , according to The Washington Post .
“ It demonstrates how out of touch some in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people .
That you could have a major network like ABC permit a forum for invective against religion like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a campaign led by the Media Research Center to hold such liberal-hosts accountable for spreading “ anti-Christian bigotry.
” The movement proved colossal as ABC received over 30,000 calls after the MRC started its campaign .
“ Make no mistake , the slurs against the Vice President ’ s faith insult millions of Christians and are unacceptable , ” MRC President Brent Bozell wrote in an open letter .
“ If there are no on-air apologies after this deplorable episode , Christians will tune out ABC programming across the board .
And we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ I am sure the advertisers of ‘ The View ’ will be just as appalled as I am about the anti-Christian remarks made on the show.

High profile Christians like Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Vice President Mike Pence have been subject to attacks for their faith.
But after "The View” host Joy Behar took aim at Pence, the backlash proved Christians are not taking abuse in silence.
The tipping point was when Behar trashed Pence for his faith during a 2018 segment.
“It’s one thing to talk to Jesus; it’s another thing when Jesus talks to you,” Behar said.
“That’s called mental illness if I’m not correct.”
Pence was prompted to reply on behalf of all Christians.

“It demonstrates how out of touch some in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people. That you could have a major network like ABC permit a forum for invective against religion like that.”
Pence’s response fueled a campaign led by the Media Research Center to hold such liberal-hosts accountable for spreading “anti-Christian bigotry.”

He added:
“I am sure the advertisers of ‘The View’ will be just as appalled as I am about the anti-Christian remarks made on the show.”
The fierce backlash forced Behar to apologize.
But two years later, nothing seems to have changed in the left-wing media's attacks on Christians.
Barrett was lambasted for her Catholic faith before she was confirmed as CNN hosts like Don Lemon regularly took shots at 'white Christians.'
Royal Alexander penned an Op-Ed for the Louisiana-based Natchitoches Parish Journal in which he joined the wave of Christians fighting back.
“National media and the cultural elite often mock and ridicule Americans who worship and strive to live out their faith. They view faith, religion, and the worship of God in much the same way the atheist, communist Karl Marx did, as ‘the opiate of the masses.’ The New York Times has admitted, in a rare and striking moment of candor, ‘we don’t get religion,'” he wrote.
“Judge Barrett is now accused of being an “extremist” because she has been a part of People of Praise, a closely-knit religious group that encourages its members to strive together for a greater holiness in their lives,” Alexander added.
“She’s also begun to be attacked for a comment she made in a speech she gave years ago that ‘a legal career is but a means to an end … and that end is building the Kingdom of God.’ This is a typical, ordinary expression of a sincerely held religious belief that any believer — Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, or Muslim — would identify with as the purpose of their faith.”


thelibertydaily--2020-11-27--GOP Rep. Mo Brooks: Biden Did Not Win the Electoral College if Vote Limited to ‘Lawful Votes Cast’

According to Rep. Mo Brooks ( R-AL ) , there is still cause for skepticism about Joe Biden being declared the winner of the presidential election earlier this month .
During an interview with Mobile , AL radio FM Talk 106.5 , there is a possibility the decision on the next president could go to Congress because neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden will have reached the required majority in Electoral College , which he said could be the case if there were a way to determine votes Brooks said were not legal cast in the election .
“ [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is not a majority of the congressmen that elect the president of the United States if no candidate got a majority of the Electoral College votes , ” he explained .
“ It is a majority of the state delegations .
And in the House of Representatives , there are 26 , maybe 27 delegations that have a majority Republican congress [ members ] , and there are about 20 delegations that have majority Democrat members of Congress .
So , that ’ s the breakdown , with three or four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got one undecided race in Iowa that could flip that from the undecided column to the GOP .
I can ’ t speak for any other senators or any other congressmen .
But in my judgment , having been involved in politics now for a number of decades , and having seen the things that I have seen — in my judgment , Joe Biden did not win the Electoral College , if there was some way we could limit the determination of the winners of the Electoral College to lawful votes cast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am persuaded that given the systemic problems with our election system and given the anecdotal ‘ steal a few votes here , steal a few votes there ’ problem that we ’ re witnessing in the media — Donald Trump won the Electoral College , again if we had some way of divining these are the legal votes cast by eligible American citizens , and they are the only votes that are going to count , ” he added .
“ But how you correct for these three major systemic problems that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if not millions of votes illegally to Joe Biden ’ s camp — you can ’ t get that done in a court of law .

Unmasking Antifa

A new book exposes the origins , nature , tactics , and aims of this dangerous “ idea.
” Mark Tapson is the Shillman Fellow on Popular Culture for the David Horowitz Freedom Center .
The other day on Facebook a friend posted something critical of the domestic terror group known as Antifa , and someone came to its defense by echoing Clueless Joe Biden ’ s recent , bizarre declaration that Antifa is not an organization but “ an idea.
” It is true that Antifa is not an organization in the strict sense , but Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a weak attempt to deflect criticism from its masked militant members .
I ’ m betting on the latter , because Democrat leaders have been curiously reluctant to condemn Antifa ’ s strategy of violence and intimidation toward the purportedly “ fascist ” supporters of President Trump .
To educate the Facebook commenter and Biden supporter who believes Antifa actually opposes fascism , I recommended the new book Unmasking Antifa : Five Perspectives on a Growing Threat , edited by the Center for Security Policy and featuring FrontPage Mag contributor Matthew Vadum , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the origins , nature , tactics , and aims of this anarchic “ idea ” and its dangerous adherents than this compact exposé .
As the subtitle suggests , Unmasking Antifa consists of five essays from a variety of experts about the movement that the book ’ s editor Kyle Shideler calls “ a growing threat to the fabric of the American way of life and the inalienable rights of all citizens enshrined in our Constitution.
” First up is Shideler himself , whose testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ideology , organization and structure , and network of material support before answering the question , is Antifa a terrorist organization ?
Shideler concludes that it most certainly is , that “ Antifa ’ s violent attacks against demonstrators , political rally participants , and journalists with the explicit purpose of intimidating and coercing them are clearly terrorism.
” He states that the movement ’ s single-minded purpose is to use violence to “ terrorize the general public into silence and inaction ” politically .
As former professor Mark Bray writes approvingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ We may not always be able to change someone ’ s beliefs , but we sure as hell can make it politically , socially , economically , and sometimes physically costly to articulate them.
” Antifa is not a new movement , Shideler explains , but a reincarnation of the Anti-Fascist Action organization established by the Soviet-controlled German Communist Party in 1932 , and rekindled among Europe ’ s communist urban guerrillas of the 1960s and ‘ 70s .
“ The young followers of radicals from [ that era ] are now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of young radicals in 2020 , ” he writes .
“ They have worked their entire lives for this moment.
” The next contributor is Gabriel Nadales , a former Antifa-member-turned-conservative-activist who offers a riveting insider perspective in his essay , “ Not an Organization , But a Movement.
” Antifa is more easily understood , he explains , “ not as a noun but as an adjective and a verb.
” The adjective applies to a leftist group when it embraces “ anti-fascism ” ; the verb refers to its willingness to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ you are not truly a part of the Antifa movement unless you take that violent step toward ‘ fighting fascism.
’ ” “ Antifa does not stand for anything , ” Nadales continues .
It “ is instead defined by what it stands against , ” which is whatever its adherents choose to define as “ fascist.
” But it “ was never about fighting an oppressive ideology .
Antifa has always been about fighting to destroy capitalism and establish communism.
” As for the organization ’ s diffuse leadership structure , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national thought leaders like Mark Bray or former Rep. Keith Ellison who help legitimize Antifa ’ s ideology ; the regional leaders like unhinged Bay Area activist Yvette Felarca who organize large protests ; and locally-organized independent leaders .
Nadales ’ insights into the workings of these different levels , and into Antifa ’ s funding and methods of recruitment , are very enlightening .
“ The Tactics of Antifa ” follows , by Northern California GOP activist Erin Smith .
Smith echoes much of Shideler ’ s and Nadales ’ points , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ directly engage with its political opponents… to make their continued presence impossible .
They are not interested in winning a political debate or achieving a legislative objective.
” ( Conservatives , take heed ; we are engaged in a war , not a debate , and Antifa is out to win by any means necessary . )
“ Their secondary objective , ” Smith continues , “ is to provoke disproportionate , high-intensity violence from their opponents , which can then be exploited for propaganda purposes.
” Thanks to the assistance of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an almost uncontested ability to cast any right-leaning opposition as literal Nazis.
” Smith goes on to describe in fascinating detail Antifa ’ s organizing units – “ affinity groups ” and “ black blocs ” – and their street warfare tactics and training , including with firearms .
Not that they have any special reverence for the Second Amendment ; as Smith points out , “ In their world… you only accrue a right to bear arms if you agree to use them to advance collective class interests and the revolution.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FrontPage Mag contributor , explores “ The Murky Money Trail ” of Antifa , pointing out that “ we know surprisingly little about who fills Antifa ’ s coffers.
” While Antifa ’ s activities are individually low-budget , “ the sheer number and scale of the riots and violent protest actions Antifa was involved in throughout 2020 across the United States makes it difficult for many to believe Antifa militants act without significant financial backing.
” Vadum notes that the movement receives direct funding through sources such as crowdfunding , and indirect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic Socialists of America and especially the National Lawyers Guild , which has been called Antifa ’ s “ unofficial legal arm.
” Predictably , the name of billionaire plutocrat activist George Soros comes up , as his Open Society Foundations funds Antifa indirectly .
Finally , J. Michael Waller looks at the international nature of Antifa and its place in the history of violent leftist groups in “ Antifa : An International Insurgent Network.
” “ Antifa has borrowed tactics from Cuban-backed armed clandestine organizations , radical Palestinian groups that waged the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Muslim Brotherhood to Turkish-backed jihadis , ” Waller concludes .
Ideologically a hybrid of anarchism and Marxism , it is “ of foreign origin , is networked internationally , and is targeted at representative democratic governments and their constitutional foundations.
” That sounds like more than just an “ idea , ” as Biden would put it .
Antifa is not merely an idea any more than it is anti-fascist .
It is , as the book ’ s editor Shideler warns , a subversive and violent extremist international movement… fundamentally committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the violent overthrow of the United States Constitution.
” All patriots need to arm themselves with the clear-eyed truths about the movement that are compiled in Unmasking Antifa .
We misunderstand Antifa , or underestimate it , at our nation ’ s peril .

The other day on Facebook a friend posted something critical of the domestic terror group known as Antifa, and someone came to its defense by echoing Clueless Joe Biden’s recent, bizarre declaration that Antifa is not an organization but “an idea.”
It is true that Antifa is not an organization in the strict sense, but Biden’s vague description is either stunningly uninformed or a weak attempt to deflect criticism from its masked militant members. I’m betting on the latter, because Democrat leaders have been curiously reluctant to condemn Antifa’s strategy of violence and intimidation toward the purportedly “fascist” supporters of President Trump.
To educate the Facebook commenter and Biden supporter who believes Antifa actually opposes fascism, I recommended the new book Unmasking Antifa: Five Perspectives on a Growing Threat, edited by the Center for Security Policy and featuring FrontPage Mag contributor Matthew Vadum, because there is no better dissection of the origins, nature, tactics, and aims of this anarchic “idea” and its dangerous adherents than this compact exposé.
As the subtitle suggests, Unmasking Antifa consists of five essays from a variety of experts about the movement that the book’s editor Kyle Shideler calls “a growing threat to the fabric of the American way of life and the inalienable rights of all citizens enshrined in our Constitution.”
First up is Shideler himself, whose testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on the Constitution lays out Antifa’s history and ideology, organization and structure, and network of material support before answering the question, is Antifa a terrorist organization? Shideler concludes that it most certainly is, that “Antifa’s violent attacks against demonstrators, political rally participants, and journalists with the explicit purpose of intimidating and coercing them are clearly terrorism.” He states that the movement’s single-minded purpose is to use violence to “terrorize the general public into silence and inaction” politically.

Antifa is not a new movement, Shideler explains, but a reincarnation of the Anti-Fascist Action organization established by the Soviet-controlled German Communist Party in 1932, and rekindled among Europe’s communist urban guerrillas of the 1960s and ‘70s. “The young followers of radicals from [that era] are now among the organizers, funders, leaders of young radicals in 2020,” he writes. “They have worked their entire lives for this moment.”
The next contributor is Gabriel Nadales, a former Antifa-member-turned-conservative-activist who offers a riveting insider perspective in his essay, “Not an Organization, But a Movement.” Antifa is more easily understood, he explains, “not as a noun but as an adjective and a verb.” The adjective applies to a leftist group when it embraces “anti-fascism”; the verb refers to its willingness to promote its ideas with violence – and “you are not truly a part of the Antifa movement unless you take that violent step toward ‘fighting fascism.’”
“Antifa does not stand for anything,” Nadales continues. It “is instead defined by what it stands against,” which is whatever its adherents choose to define as “fascist.” But it “was never about fighting an oppressive ideology. Antifa has always been about fighting to destroy capitalism and establish communism.”
As for the organization’s diffuse leadership structure, Nadales identifies three different fronts: the national thought leaders like Mark Bray or former Rep. Keith Ellison who help legitimize Antifa’s ideology; the regional leaders like unhinged Bay Area activist Yvette Felarca who organize large protests; and locally-organized independent leaders. Nadales’ insights into the workings of these different levels, and into Antifa’s funding and methods of recruitment, are very enlightening.
“The Tactics of Antifa” follows, by Northern California GOP activist Erin Smith. Smith echoes many of Shideler’s and Nadales’ points, and adds that “Antifa seeks to directly engage with its political opponents… to make their continued presence impossible. They are not interested in winning a political debate or achieving a legislative objective.” (Conservatives, take heed; we are engaged in a war, not a debate, and Antifa is out to win by any means necessary.) “Their secondary objective,” Smith continues, “is to provoke disproportionate, high-intensity violence from their opponents, which can then be exploited for propaganda purposes.” Thanks to the assistance of the leftist news media, Antifa has “an almost uncontested ability to cast any right-leaning opposition as literal Nazis.”
Smith goes on to describe in fascinating detail Antifa’s organizing units – “affinity groups” and “black blocs” – and their street warfare tactics and training, including with firearms. Not that they have any special reverence for the Second Amendment; as Smith points out, “In their world… you only accrue a right to bear arms if you agree to use them to advance collective class interests and the revolution.”
Investigative reporter Matthew Vadum, a frequent FrontPage Mag contributor, explores “The Murky Money Trail” of Antifa, pointing out that “we know surprisingly little about who fills Antifa’s coffers.” While Antifa’s activities are individually low-budget, “the sheer number and scale of the riots and violent protest actions Antifa was involved in throughout 2020 across the United States makes it difficult for many to believe Antifa militants act without significant financial backing.”
Vadum notes that the movement receives direct funding through sources such as crowdfunding, and indirect funding through support organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America and especially the National Lawyers Guild, which has been called Antifa’s “unofficial legal arm.” Predictably, the name of billionaire plutocrat activist George Soros comes up, as his Open Society Foundations funds Antifa indirectly.
Finally, J. Michael Waller looks at the international nature of Antifa and its place in the history of violent leftist groups in “Antifa: An International Insurgent Network.” “Antifa has borrowed tactics from Cuban-backed armed clandestine organizations, radical Palestinian groups that waged the Intifada, and Islamist movements ranging from the Muslim Brotherhood to Turkish-backed jihadis,” Waller concludes. Ideologically a hybrid of anarchism and Marxism, it is “of foreign origin, is networked internationally, and is targeted at representative democratic governments and their constitutional foundations.” That sounds like more than just an “idea,” as Biden would put it.
Antifa is not merely an idea any more than it is anti-fascist. It is, as the book’s editor Shideler warns, a subversive and violent extremist international movement… fundamentally committed to the abolition of the U.S. government and the violent overthrow of the United States Constitution.” All patriots need to arm themselves with the clear-eyed truths about the movement that are compiled in Unmasking Antifa. We misunderstand Antifa, or underestimate it, at our nation’s peril.

thelibertydaily--2020-11-27--Democrats Meltdown on Twitter After Amy Coney Barrett Makes Historic Ruling

On Thursday , the US Supreme Court ruled against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and in favor of religious freedom after Cuomo targeted religious groups with extreme restrictions .
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was one of the five justices who voted against Cuomo 's harsh restrictions which immediately sent liberals on Twitter into all our meltdown mode as they gave her the nickname , `` Amy Covid Barrett . ''
***Help Us TAKE DOWN The Liberal Media With Our TRUMP News Mobile App !
*** '' I promise I will call her Amy Covid Barrett for the rest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' whined screenwriter Randi Mayem Singer .
`` I want to laugh that Amy Covid Barrett is trending but can ’ t stop thinking of the thousands and thousands more deaths she just handed us , '' cried Twitter user Q. Allan Brocka .
Ironically , none of these whining leftists seemed to care about the coronavirus when their people were rushing to the streets to protest or celebrate Joe Biden 's alleged victory .
Check out what the Daily Wire reported : Two similar cases had come before the court when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s predecessor , served on the Court ; the Court had ruled 5-4 in both decisions in favor of the governors imposing the restrictions , not in favor of the religious organizations .
In May and July , the Court had ruled on restrictions placed on churches in California and Nevada .
In the two previous decisions , justices in the minority had written powerful dissents .
In South Bay United Pentacostal Church v. Gavin Newsom , Chief Justice John Roberts , writing for the majority , wrote in May , “ Although @ @ @ @ @ @ @ places of worship , those restrictions appear consistent with the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
” In his dissent , Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the following : `` I would grant the Church ’ s requested temporary injunction because California ’ s latest safety guidelines discriminate against places of worship and in favor of comparable secular businesses .
Such discrimination violates the First Amendment .
In response to the COVID–19 health crisis , California has now limited attendance at religious worship services to 25 % of building capacity or 100 attendees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ constitutional problem is that comparable secular businesses are not subject to a 25 % occupancy cap , including factories , offices , supermarkets , restaurants , retail stores , pharmacies , shopping malls , pet grooming shops , bookstores , florists , hair salons , and cannabis dispensaries . ''
He continued , “ In my view , California ’ s discrimination against religious worship services contravenes the Constitution .
… What California needs is a compelling justification for distinguishing between ( i ) religious worship services and ( ii ) the litany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ subject to an occupancy cap .
California has not shown such a justification.
” Back in July , in Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v. Steve Sisolak , Governor of Nevada , Justice Samuel Alito dissented the following as he wrote for the minority : The Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion .
It says nothing about the freedom to play craps or blackjack , to feed tokens into a slot machine , or to engage in any other game of chance .
But the Governor of Nevada apparently has different priorities .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ rights during the COVID–19 pandemic , he has issued a directive that severely limits attendance at religious services .
A church , synagogue , or mosque , regardless of its size , may not admit more than 50 persons , but casinos and certain other favored facilities may admit 50 % of their maximum occupancy— and in the case of gigantic Las Vegas casinos , this means that thousands of patrons are allowed .
That Nevada would discriminate in favor of the powerful gaming industry and its employees may not come as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ willingness to allow such discrimination is disappointing .
We have a duty to defend the Constitution , and even a public health emergency does not absolve us of that responsibility .

Check out what the Daily Wire reported:
Two similar cases had come before the court when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Barrett’s predecessor, served on the Court; the Court had ruled 5-4 in both decisions in favor of the governors imposing the restrictions, not in favor of the religious organizations. In May and July, the Court had ruled on restrictions placed on churches in California and Nevada. In the two previous decisions, justices in the minority had written powerful dissents. In South Bay United Pentacostal Church v. Gavin Newsom, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, wrote in May, “Although California’s guidelines place restrictions on places of worship, those restrictions appear consistent with the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.”
In his dissent, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the following: “I would grant the Church’s requested temporary injunction because California’s latest safety guidelines discriminate against places of worship and in favor of comparable secular businesses. Such discrimination violates the First Amendment. In response to the COVID–19 health crisis, California has now limited attendance at religious worship services to 25% of building capacity or 100 attendees, whichever is lower. The basic constitutional problem is that comparable secular businesses are not subject to a 25% occupancy cap, including factories, offices, supermarkets, restaurants, retail stores, pharmacies, shopping malls, pet grooming shops, bookstores, florists, hair salons, and cannabis dispensaries.”
He continued, “In my view, California’s discrimination against religious worship services contravenes the Constitution. … What California needs is a compelling justification for distinguishing between (i) religious worship services and (ii) the litany of other secular businesses that are not subject to an occupancy cap. California has not shown such a justification.”
Back in July, in Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v. Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada, Justice Samuel Alito dissented the following as he wrote for the minority:
The Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion. It says nothing about the freedom to play craps or blackjack, to feed tokens into a slot machine, or to engage in any other game of chance. But the Governor of Nevada apparently has different priorities. Claiming virtually unbounded power to restrict constitutional rights during the COVID–19 pandemic, he has issued a directive that severely limits attendance at religious services. A church, synagogue, or mosque, regardless of its size, may not admit more than 50 persons, but casinos and certain other favored facilities may admit 50% of their maximum occupancy— and in the case of gigantic Las Vegas casinos, this means that thousands of patrons are allowed. That Nevada would discriminate in favor of the powerful gaming industry and its employees may not come as a surprise, but this Court’s willingness to allow such discrimination is disappointing.

thelibertydaily--2020-11-27--The Ideology Now Running the Democrat Party Looks Like a Classic Cult

Every camera phone these days has a feature that can flip the focus from “ selfie ” to the outside world for a more conventional shot .
All of it done with a quick touch to the screen .
That ’ s as good a high-tech explanation as any of projection in the psychological sense .
Apart from deliberate projection , which is regularly used as a political tactic as per Saul Alinsky , there is the more classic and unconscious projection that happens among true believers of the same ilk .
Take a look at what happens when one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth about what he ’ d like to do to Trump voters : DNC member David Atkins openly suggesting that 75 million Americans need to be “ deprogrammed.
” While Atkins wonders how anyone could be a Trump supporter , many of us wonder how a leftist who may have been initially attracted to feel-good ideas like “ tolerance ” and “ diversity ” could publicly advocate forceful “ deprogramming ” of 75 million of his fellow citizens ( in refugee camps ?
concentration camps ? )
for the sin of disagreeing with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does that happen ?
Here ’ s a little of how projection works : Most of us are capable of powerful emotions .
We also have emotions about our powerful emotions , which complicates matters even further .
This can terrify people , especially if they already have trouble distinguishing between thoughts , feelings and actions .
How could I have such horrible , evil , hateful thoughts ?
Does that make me evil too ?
Among the variety of responses possible when emotions become too intense or painful for a person to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focus — just like that camera .
The subject disowns his uncomfortable or embarrassing feelings and quite unconsciously attributes them to others — often to the person or group on which he has already been so intensely focused .
It ’ s much easier to feel justified in advocating full-blown persecution of those he hates if he can view himself as a victim .
To add insult to injury , this is all in the name of “ tolerance.
” What happens when true victims of a paranoia-fueled vendetta are themselves called paranoid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe ?
Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha and the McCloskeys in St. Louis know firsthand how the propaganda media works full-time to confuse the public about who are the criminals and who are the law-abiding citizens .
The inability to distinguish or accept the origins of one ’ s rage is a building block of paranoia and persecution complexes .
A culture that positively values personal responsibility rather than collective guilt is infinitely healthier not just politically but psychologically .
Atkins goes on to project another charge against Trump supporters , claiming they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ & basic decency.
” If ever there were an ideology that resembles a classic cult , it is the leftism , socialism and communism of today , which now control much of what used to be the Democratic Party .
In 2017 , I outlined some of the more obvious comparisons in an article about how liberalism is like a cult .
Cults feed and grow off collectivism and groupthink .
That is why they must always demonize dissent , individuality and personal responsibility .
Remember when the left lectured us ( when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hate , hate — we have to root out hate !

Leftist Lunatic Keith Olbermann Goes Full Nazi: ‘You’re God D**n Right, We Want to Criminalize Policy Differences!’

Speaking of biased media and the press ’ s war on the American people , one of the biggest mouths on the progressive left media is Keith Olbermann , who was too much of a misogynist to stay on air at MSNBC but is still spewing from a bunker somewhere .
He ’ s the outside voice version of what CNN and the rest are already thinking ( and trying to accomplish ) without quite spelling it out .
In this case , he ’ s saying what the Democrats and left and Obama and Biden and Brianna Keiler and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Bald Guy and Steve Schmidt ’ s NeverTrump Club and the rest have been trying to do for decades : outlaw wrongthink .
Watch the blasphemous language , which of course Satan can ’ t resist .
“ G– d**n it !
When the policy differences are between maintaining American democracy and substituting racist , one party rule .
You ’ re G– d**n right , we want to criminalize policy differences that might exist between the outgoing administration and the administration that is about to take over.
” That ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loud , it ’ s giving the whole thing away .
Not that it was any big secret .
