A federal judge has ruled that Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington , DC , can hold outdoor services despite the COVID restrictions placed by Mayor Muriel Bowser .
Judge Trevor McFadden insisted , “ It is for the church , not the District or this court , to define for itself the meaning of ‘ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together ’ .

A federal judge has ruled that Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC, can hold outdoor services despite the COVID restrictions placed by Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Judge Trevor McFadden insisted, “It is for the church, not the District or this court, to define for itself the meaning of ‘not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together’.”
The Justice Department filed a statement of interest on Oct. 2 in federal district court in DC, arguing the Constitution and federal law require the District of Columbia to accommodate Capitol Hill Baptist Church’s (CHBC) effort to hold worship services outdoors, at least to the same extent the District of Columbia allows other forms of outdoor First Amendment activity, such as peaceful protests.
As CBN News reported late last month, CHBC, a congregation with a 142-year history and more than 850 members, filed a lawsuit against the District and the mayor for the restrictions placed on gatherings of more than 100 people to worship.
“Since its founding in 1878, CHBC has met in-person every Sunday except for three weeks during the Spanish Flu in 1918,” the church said in a statement. “That changed following Mayor Bowser’s first orders concerning COVID-19 on March 11, 2020.”
CHBC notes that Mayor Bowser has permitted mass gatherings and protests over racial equality where hundreds of people assembled, yet her orders prohibit gatherings of more than 100 people for the purpose of worship.
The church even sought a permit to hold outdoor worship services in excess of the 100-person limit but was denied by the city. And CHBC pointed out the importance of in-person worship services since the church does not have an online ministry.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-14--Eyewitness Says Lee Keltner’s Killer ‘Huddled’ With News Producer, BLM Agitator Before Shooting

President Trump is in good spirits following his rapid recovery from COVID-19

Last Updated on February 17, 2022
An eyewitness to Saturday’s slaying of Denver man Lee Keltner by an anti-Trump activist and unlicensed security guard told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Monday that the killer was “huddled up” with a 9News producer and a violent agitator wearing a “Black Guns Matter” shirt moments before he shot Keltner in the face.
Military veteran John Tiegen appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to share his eyewitness account of the shooting, which was carried out by an unlicensed security guard named Matthew Dolloff. Dollofff was allegedly hired to protect a producer of local left-wing media outlet 9News.
Dolloff, who in custody for investigation of first-degree murder, was open about his extreme left-wing views on social media and bragged about harassing Trump supporters in person.
Tiegen told Carlson that a local BLM agitator started harassing the pro-police demonstrators, calling black people in the group racial slurs, and begging to be maced in an attempt to incite violence.
As the demonstration was getting ready to wrap up, Tiegen told Carlson that “the producer, the murderer, and the aggressor were all huddled in the corner having a nice little conversation.”
Carlson asked for clarification, and Teigen reiterated that “they were huddled just before we started exiting.” According to Teigen, the BLM agitator then continued to harass demonstrators and make violent threats, as Dolloff and the 9News producer looked on.
Tucker Exposing 9 News "Why did 9 News hire Pinkerton to hire Dolloff? Turns out that the network itself is also Pro-Antifa, at least some of its correspondents are. Its most prominent anchor Kyle Clark has openly mocked anyone who is concerned about violence from Antifa & BLM." pic.twitter.com/4ysslYoHPn — The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 (@ColumbiaBugle) October 13, 2020
“Everywhere this agitator went, they went,” the eyewitness said, referring to Dolloff and the 9News producer.
A fundraiser for the family of the slain pro-police demonstrator and military veteran Lee Keltner is currently active on GoFundMe, and has raised some $22,000 in donations


thelibertydaily--2020-10-14--Illinois Prosecutors Announce They Will NOT File Charges Against 17-Year-Old American Hero Kyle Ritt

Illinois Prosecutors Announce They Will NOT File Charges Against 17-Year-Old American Hero Kyle Rittenhouse

Last Updated on October 13, 2020
Prosecutors in Lake County, Illinois have announced that they will not be filing weapons charges against 17-year-old volunteer lifeguard Kyle Rittenhouse, who is currently charged with first degree murder by prosecutors in Kenosha. The news comes as a victory for Rittenhouse’s defense team, which is currently fighting attempts to extradite the teen to Wisconsin.
The rifle used by Rittenhouse during the shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin was confirmed by investigators to have been bought, stored, and used in Wisconsin.
According to the Lake And McHenry Counter Scanner, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office revealed that an intensive investigation by the Antioch Police Department found no evidence whatsoever that Rittenhouse acted in violation of Illinois weapons laws:
The investigation revealed the gun used in the Kenosha shooting was purchased, stored and used in Wisconsin. The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office reviewed the investigation and determined no crimes were committed in Lake County. Prosecutors said there is no evidence the gun was ever physically possessed by Rittenhouse in Illinois.
Rittenhouse still faces charges in Winconsin.
On September 22, the Rittenhouse defense team released a mini-documentary that serves as an-depth, multi-faceted record of the shooting and case for the exoneration of Rittenhouse.
READ MORE: Trump Refuses to Disavow Kyle Rittenhouse, ‘They Very Violently Attacked Him,’ And ‘He Would Have Been Killed’
The account that posted the video to video hosting website Wistia was later banned.
On August 31, Rittenhouse attorney John Pierce appeared on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” television program to explain the defense’s case against the charges filed by Kenosha County prosecutors:
Pierce revealed that Rittenhouse, 17, traveled to Kenosha after receiving a phone call from a business owner who had lost two out of three properties to arson and looting and was fearful that his last business would be next. The lawyer also stated that first protester to be shot, convicted sex offender Joseph Rosenbaum, attacked Rittenhouse from behind and tried to take his weapon, forcing the teen to act in self defense. The New York Times report that found Rittenhouse did not fire the first shot was also cited.” Tucker Carlson talks to Kyle Rittenhouse lawyer John Pierce on the state of Kyle’s case. John: “This is 100% self defense Tucker.” John also debunks claim that the rifle Kyle possessed “crossed state lines.” John: “That is a legal firearm in the state of Wisconsin.” pic.twitter.com/c1M5CE3enx — The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 (@ColumbiaBugle) September 1, 2020 “In this warzone, in this chaos that was occurring in the middle of Wisconsin, the only individuals that Kyle shot were the three individuals that were putting him at risk of serious bodily harm or death. This is a 17-year-old kid, this is amazing,” Pierce said.
Public support for Rittenhouse is still forbidden on most – if not all – Big Tech social media platforms, despite the fact that the case is a trending issue on social media, and a significant amount of video footage that Rittenhouse supporters claim exonerates the teen has been released by mainstream media outlets.


thelibertydaily--2020-10-14--Here’s the Video About the 2020 Election That Rush Limbaugh Urges You to See

If there 's one video Americans need to watch before voting in the 2020 presidential race , this is it , says talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh .
It features Thomas Klingenstein , the chairman of the board of the Claremont Institute , Limbaugh said Tuesday of the 17-minute video .
`` It 's not flashy .
It does n't have massive production values .
It 's nothing like that .
It 's just one man and his legitimate reasons for Trump and his deadly , deathful fear of what this country faces if Trump loses , '' he said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ what this election is really all about , what America faces .
One of the most fascinating things that Mr. Klingenstein points out , is he actually says that in normal times he wouldn ’ t even think of voting for this man .
Now , don ’ t take that as a negative , '' Limbaugh said .
`` Do not think you ’ ve got a Never Trumper here who ’ s changed his mind .
It ’ s not that at all .
He ’ s just being honest with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wouldn ’ t think of voting for Trump .
But he believes these are not normal times .
He , in fact , says that in these times , Donald Trump is the only man who can save this country , is the only man who can do what is necessary to preserve the American way of life , '' said Limbaugh .
`` It 's just one man and his impassioned .
...
It ’ s not all that impassioned .
It ’ s pretty cut and dry , straightforward , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an intellectual , obviously , but he ’ s scared to death , folks .
He ’ s literally scared to death like we all are , and he explains why Trump is the only person that has a prayer of saving America . ''
In the video , Klingenstein said the 2020 election is the most important since 1860 .
The choice , he says , is between `` two competing regimes , two ways of life , that can not exist equally together . ''
He calls one `` traditional America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individual rights , the rule of law and a shared understanding of the common good .
Valued are hard work , self-reliance and patriotism .
He says President Trump represents that perspective .
Klingenstein calls the other multiculturalism , which he says has taken over the Democratic Party .
`` It is not like a revolution ; it is a revolution , an attempt to overthrow '' America as it was founded , he says .
That view holds that society is comprised of identity groups based on race and gender oppressed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never-ending redistribution of wealth and power , '' which could be accomplished , he says , only by a `` tyrannical government . ''
`` One where dissenters are silenced , '' he warns .
`` This is just one way to frame the coming election , '' he says .
`` It 's a contest between a man , Trump , who believes America is good , and a man , Biden , who is controlled by a movement that believes America is bad .
`` I do not think it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` We are living in a revolution — an actual revolution , not just the word .
There is an actual revolution taking place , '' Klingenstein said .
`` The American left is revolting against America as founded !
They are not the Democrat Party of old .
This is not the Democrats versus the Republicans .
This is American Marxists and communists conducting a revolution against America , as founded . ''
Limbaugh said : `` I do n't think you can make it any more simple — and I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simple .
That is squarely what this is about .
Trump 'believes America is good . '
You believe America 's good .
I believe America ’ s good . ''
That would be `` good '' as `` in the sense that American is a decent place , '' Limbaugh said .
`` America is a great place for decent people .
It is the home for decent , hardworking , self-reliant people who love family , who love God , who love their country , who revere the Constitution — and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ importance of freedom and liberty . ''
The Biden campaign , however , Klingenstein said , casts America in a bad light .

I’d like you to find 17 minutes you can spend uninterrupted and listen to this video from the Chairman of the Board of the Claremont Institute in CA.

The choice, he says, is between "two competing regimes, two ways of life, that cannot exist equally together."
He calls one "traditional America," in which people believe in individual rights, the rule of law and a shared understanding of the common good. Valued are hard work, self-reliance and patriotism.
He says President Trump represents that perspective.
Klingenstein calls the other multiculturalism, which he says has taken over the Democratic Party.
"It is not like a revolution; it is a revolution, an attempt to overthrow" America as it was founded, he says.
That view holds that society is comprised of identity groups based on race and gender oppressed by white males.
The cost is "never-ending redistribution of wealth and power," which could be accomplished, he says, only by a "tyrannical government."
"One where dissenters are silenced," he warns.
That system teaches Americans are "irredeemably sinful."
"This is just one way to frame the coming election," he says. "It's a contest between a man, Trump, who believes America is good, and a man, Biden, who is controlled by a movement that believes America is bad.
"I do not think it is any more complicated than that."
See the video:
Limbaugh cited Klingenstein's comments last week.
"We are living in a revolution — an actual revolution, not just the word. There is an actual revolution taking place," Klingenstein said. "The American left is revolting against America as founded! They are not the Democrat Party of old. This is not the Democrats versus the Republicans. This is American Marxists and communists conducting a revolution against America, as founded."
Limbaugh said: "I don't think you can make it any more simple — and I don’t mean simplistic. I mean simple. That is squarely what this is about. Trump 'believes America is good.' You believe America's good. I believe America’s good."
That would be "good" as "in the sense that American is a decent place," Limbaugh said.
"America is a great place for decent people. It is the home for decent, hardworking, self-reliant people who love family, who love God, who love their country, who revere the Constitution — and, above all, who revere the importance of freedom and liberty."
The Biden campaign, however, Klingenstein said, casts America in a bad light.

Gait and Rigidity
Parkinsonian gait (postural instability) is a difficulty in walking that occurs as Parkinson’s disease progresses. Slow and small steps are a sign of this. Rigidity is the stiffness and inflexibility of the limbs and is a primary motor symptom of Parkinson’s. Particularly, rigidity is usually found in the arms and legs. It is essentially a tightness of the limbs and can cause a decreased range of motion. This tightness can cause a person with Parkinson’s feet to seem as if they are “stuck to the floor.” Postural instability/gait and rigidity are parts of the TRAP parameter recognized by the medical community and covered in the video forensic evidence above.

I wonder why that might be ?

I wonder why that might be? New York Times epidemiology reporter Donald McNeil offers readers a “dose of optimism” after months of gloom reporting on the spread and impact of COVID-19. In a lengthy analysis, McNeil lays out how he predicted the course the disease would chart, both in the US and around the world, and how little could be done to deflect it.
Lately, though, McNeil has begun to see light at the end of the tunnel:
Since January, when I began covering the pandemic, I have been a consistently gloomy Cassandra, reporting on the catastrophe that experts saw coming: that the virus would go pandemic, that Americans were likely to die in large numbers, the national lockdown would last well beyond Easter and even past summer. No miracle cure was on the horizon; the record for developing a vaccine was four years. Events have moved faster than I thought possible. I have become cautiously optimistic. Experts are saying, with genuine confidence, that the pandemic in the United States will be over far sooner than they expected, possibly by the middle of next year.
What changed? In part, Americans got better at social distancing, isolation, and hygiene, including mask-wearing. Higher-risk people learned to stay out of dangerous situations, at least when governors weren’t ordering them into such conditions. Transmission has picked up of late, but the average age of the infected has dropped dramatically, into age ranges which seem much more resistant to developing into acute and serious cases. The development of therapeutic options — in significant part by discovering what was already at hand — has helped lower the mortality rate as well.
However, what really has McNeil feeling cheerier is that the “cavalry” is coming — vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. And the main reason that the pandemic will end much sooner than expected is because of Operation Warp Speed — even if it doesn’t end on its author’s preferred timeline:
Despite the chaos in day-to-day politics and the fighting over issues like masks and lockdowns, Operation Warp Speed — the government’s agreement to subsidize vaccine companies’ clinical trials and manufacturing costs — appears to have been working with remarkable efficiency. It has put more than $11 billion into seven vaccine candidates, and the F.D.A. has said it will approve any one that is at least 50 percent effective at preventing infection or reducing its severity. Moncef Slaoui, Operation Warp Speed’s chief scientific adviser and a former pharmaceutical executive who has overseen the development of 14 vaccines, has said repeatedly that he expects some of the candidates that he picked to have 75 to 90 percent efficacy and at least two to win approval by early January. By then, Dr. Slaoui has estimated, the factories under contract will have produced enough vaccine for 30 to 40 million people, and then another 80 to 90 million people every month after that. Assuming nothing goes wrong, he said, there will be enough doses for all 330 million Americans to be vaccinated by next June. Bill Gates, who is not part of Operation Warp Speed but works with it to develop vaccines for the world’s poor, has agreed with that timetable. There will inevitably be distribution problems, but the military is standing by to help. The chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed is General Gustave F. Perna, a logistics specialist.
How momentous is this? McNeil notes in his analysis that the previous record for successfully producing an effective and safe vaccine was four years. Without the financial commitments made in Operation Warp Speed, pharmaceuticals would have had to weigh all sorts of fiscal implications before going full steam on development and testing. By purchasing hundreds of millions of doses up front whether they worked or not, the Trump administration took a position akin to wartime procurement of weapons systems. That strategy is about to pay off, McNeil notes, in what may well be several vaccine options and an already-maximized production rate on all of those lines.
McNeil doesn’t offer much explicit credit to Trump for these developments. In fact, McNeil only mentions Trump to describe his treatment for COVID-19 and his disparagement of mask-wearing, a fair criticism but hardly the whole story. Operation Warp Speed helped accelerate both the vaccines and the therapeutics that McNeil touts, and shortened the timeline considerably for the pandemic — and in doing so, will have saved many thousands of lives. McNeil points out that the “Spanish” influenza had to run its course and produce herd immunity to finally peter out after two years, but that it cost 675,000 lives — equivalent to 2 million in today’s population, which is very close to the worst-case estimates for COVID-19 back in March.
With that in mind, Trump deserves some credit for accelerating the medical-science “cavalry” to the front lines. National Hotline’s Josh Kraushaar wonders why Team Trump isn’t making it their home-stretch pitch:
The Trump campaign would be wise to cite this NYT story as part of its closing message — particularly the success of Operation Warp Speed. pic.twitter.com/cSN8vYlkxT — Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) October 13, 2020
The Trump administration has made its share of mistakes in this pandemic. The White House and CDC should have been more forthcoming on the virus and masks, and testing capacity is still far short of where it should be to properly manage hotspots and eruptions. But it also has its share of successes, and by far the most momentous will be the “cavalry” arriving years ahead of schedule.


thelibertydaily--2020-10-14--Democrats’ Emoluments Clause Lawsuit Against President Trump Is Dead

The Supreme Court on Tuesday put an end to a lawsuit brought by congressional Democrats that accused President Donald Trump of violating anti-corruption provisions in the U.S. Constitution with his business dealings .
The justices refused to hear an appeal by 215 Senate and House of Representatives Democrats of a lower court ruling that found that the lawmakers lacked the necessary legal standing to bring the case that focused on the Republican president ’ s ownership of the Trump International Hotel in Washington… In the case brought by congressional Democrats , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of Congress have limited ability to litigate questions affecting the legislative branch as a whole .
One more little tidbit worth noting here .
Guess which judge was all for letting this case go forward initially : The congressional case reached the D.C. appeals court after Judge Emmet G. Sullivan cleared the way for lawmakers to issue 37 subpoenas seeking financial information , interviews and other records , including ones related to Trump Tower and his Mar-a-Lago Club in South Florida .
But that request was put on hold after the appeals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Trump ’ s request and with Sullivan ’ s consent — to consider the untested separation-of-powers issues .
If that name sounds familiar it ’ s because Judge Sullivan is the same judge still refusing to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn .
In order to really appreciate this win , it ’ s necessary to walk back through the entire history of emoluments clause lawsuits .
It began even before Trump was inaugurated when Richard Painter took over a position held by David Brock as Vice-Chairman of the board for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ethics in Washington ( CREW ) .
Painter and board chairman Norm Eisen co-wrote a piece for the Atlantic headlined “ Trump Could Be in Violation of the Constitution His First Day in Office.
” In January 2017 , days after Trump ’ s inauguration , CREW announced plans to file a lawsuit along these lines , alleging that , in particular , Trump ’ s hotel put him in violation of the emoluments clause forbidding the acceptance of payments from foreign dignitaries .
Here ’ s a bit of what the NY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behind the lawsuit .
Right away there was a potential problem with the lawsuit : The plaintiff in the lawsuit is a liberal group known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington , which until recently was controlled by David Brock , a Democratic Party operative and fervent supporter of Hillary Clinton ’ s campaign… The lawsuit may run into trouble , other legal experts said , given that CREW , as the organization is known , must demonstrate that it would suffer direct and concrete injury to give it standing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did have a problem with standing , so in April 2017 CREW announced it was expanding the lawsuit : Then in June 2017 , Democrats jumped on the bandwagon announcing they would file their own version of the lawsuit .
Their hope was that Congress would be able to establish standing : “ We ’ ll be suing to stop his violations of the emoluments clause , ” senior House Judiciary member Jerry Nadler ( D-N.Y. ) confirmed in an interview .
The lawsuit won ’ t be filed until next week at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both sides of the Capitol have already signed on in support , Nadler said… Sen. Richard Blumenthal ( D-Conn. ) , who is spearheading the emoluments effort in the upper chamber , told POLITICO that “ there have been extensive discussions ” recently on moving forward with legal action… “ Members of Congress we say have standing because the emoluments clause says without the permission of Congress , you can ’ t accept any gift , etc.
, etc.
, from a foreign state , ” Nadler said .
“ We are injured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on this , that ’ s our standing.
” So here we are nearly 3 1/2 years later and despite the best efforts of Rep. Nadler , Sen. Blumenthal , Judge Sullivan and dozens of other elected Democrats , the Supreme Court just let the air out of this balloon once and for all .
The Democrats ’ case is done but there are still two similar lawsuits , one brought by two attorneys general and the CREW lawsuit .
That lawsuit was dismissed back in December 2017 but was reinstated in 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wins re-election next month , we ’ ll probably see a surge of renewed interest in the case .

One more little tidbit worth noting here. Guess which judge was all for letting this case go forward initially:
The congressional case reached the D.C. appeals court after Judge Emmet G. Sullivan cleared the way for lawmakers to issue 37 subpoenas seeking financial information, interviews and other records, including ones related to Trump Tower and his Mar-a-Lago Club in South Florida. But that request was put on hold after the appeals court stepped in midstream and intervened — at Trump’s request and with Sullivan’s consent — to consider the untested separation-of-powers issues.
If that name sounds familiar it’s because Judge Sullivan is the same judge still refusing to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn.
In order to really appreciate this win, it’s necessary to walk back through the entire history of emoluments clause lawsuits. It began even before Trump was inaugurated when Richard Painter took over a position held by David Brock as Vice-Chairman of the board for a left-leaning group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Painter and board chairman Norm Eisen co-wrote a piece for the Atlantic headlined “Trump Could Be in Violation of the Constitution His First Day in Office.”
In January 2017, days after Trump’s inauguration, CREW announced plans to file a lawsuit along these lines, alleging that, in particular, Trump’s hotel put him in violation of the emoluments clause forbidding the acceptance of payments from foreign dignitaries. Here’s a bit of what the NY Times reported back then about the people behind the lawsuit. Right away there was a potential problem with the lawsuit:
The plaintiff in the lawsuit is a liberal group known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which until recently was controlled by David Brock, a Democratic Party operative and fervent supporter of Hillary Clinton’s campaign… The lawsuit may run into trouble, other legal experts said, given that CREW, as the organization is known, must demonstrate that it would suffer direct and concrete injury to give it standing to sue.
As predicted, the lawsuit did have a problem with standing, so in April 2017 CREW announced it was expanding the lawsuit:
The revised complaint by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, is an effort to address what some saw as a critical weakness in the group’s original lawsuit: the lack of a clear victim who could claim injuries resulting from Mr. Trump’s failure either to sell off his business holdings or to place them in a blind trust.
Then in June 2017, Democrats jumped on the bandwagon announcing they would file their own version of the lawsuit. Their hope was that Congress would be able to establish standing:
“We’ll be suing to stop his violations of the emoluments clause,” senior House Judiciary member Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) confirmed in an interview. The lawsuit won’t be filed until next week at the earliest but dozens of Democrats on both sides of the Capitol have already signed on in support, Nadler said… Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who is spearheading the emoluments effort in the upper chamber, told POLITICO that “there have been extensive discussions” recently on moving forward with legal action… “Members of Congress we say have standing because the emoluments clause says without the permission of Congress, you can’t accept any gift, etc., etc., from a foreign state,” Nadler said. “We are injured by being denied our right to vote on this, that’s our standing.”
So here we are nearly 3 1/2 years later and despite the best efforts of Rep. Nadler, Sen. Blumenthal, Judge Sullivan and dozens of other elected Democrats, the Supreme Court just let the air out of this balloon once and for all.
The Democrats’ case is done but there are still two similar lawsuits, one brought by two attorneys general and the CREW lawsuit. That lawsuit was dismissed back in December 2017 but was reinstated in 2019 and is still ongoing. If Trump wins re-election next month, we’ll probably see a surge of renewed interest in the case.


thelibertydaily--2020-10-14--Communist “Medicare For All” Touted as ‘Common Sense’ and ‘Fair’ on Kal Penn Election Show

Last week , Freeform ’ s Kal Penn Approves This Message made the rare decision to invite an actual conservative on to discuss political issues .
From there , I was hoping for the show to actually keep its word on being a “ non-partisan ” election series .
Unfortunately , all that ended with its latest effort to shill for Medicare For All .
The October 13 episode “ Kal Penn Approves Healthcare ” has Kal Penn discussing healthcare issues in the United States .
While he ’ s correct in addressing it as a serious issue for voters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from what could be considered “ non-partisan.
” He starts off by describing the Republican and Democrat position on healthcare but then not-so-subtly introduces the value of universal healthcare : Citizens in a lot of wealthy countries have suffered major job losses .
But most of them are not losing their health insurance because they have a publicly funded universal healthcare system .
They have a card that they show when they go to the doctor or a hospital and most of their basic medical needs are covered .
They almost never see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paid for through taxes .
And even if they lose their job , they keep their insurance .
So these countries have voted for and chosen these systems .
They 've decided that equal access to healthcare is a major priority .
Following that , he introduces a comedy sketch ( and I use that term loosely ) featuring Rehka Shankar diving into healthcare costs .
In the sketch , she interviews various people and decides that someone needs to take “ the best parts of a government healthcare plan and expand [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether they want it or not .
She takes her idea to famous businessman Mark Cuban who informs her that the idea already exists under Medicare For All .
Rehka : This all got me thinking : Why has n't anyone ever taken the best parts of a government healthcare plan and expanded it to cover everyone ?
Not just for those who want it , but for all ?
I needed support to get this program off the ground .
So I went to one of America 's leading businessmen .
Um @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PowerPoint I sent you .
I know it was long .
But , um , you took a look ?
Mark Cuban : I 'm just gon na be honest .
While I really appreciate your enthusiasm , I do n't understand what you 're talking about .
Rehka : Okay .
[ Chuckles ] Sorry if I was n't clear , but I 'm solving our healthcare crisis , Mark .
It 's a GoFundMe for All .
Instead of everyone randomly paying for healthcare crowdfunding , we are setting up a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so healthcare costs decrease overall .
Mark Cuban : So basically Medicare for All ?
Rehka : What is that ?
What 's Medicare for All ?
To top that all off , the episode ends with Kal interviewing progressive activist and ALS patient Ady Barkan .
For those unfamiliar with him , Barkan came into the spotlight after confronting Senator Jeff Flake on a plane for voting for the Trump tax bill in 2017 .
Since then , he ’ s been pretty open about his politics and what he thinks of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” president .
Even for this interview , he ’ s still clear on his liberal beliefs by directly pushing for Medicare For All .
Kal : Um , this episode is especially about healthcare reform and healthcare even just broadly .
How can young people get involved in healthcare reform ?
Ady Barkan : That is an excellent question , but the embarrassing truth is that we do n't have enough good youth organizations focused on healthcare .
There are definitely groups in your town or college , and you can find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weakness of our movement that I ca n't point you to one great place to get started .
Kal : Do local and state politics have an impact on healthcare ?
Ady : State and local governments play a really important role in providing healthcare .
So it 's definitely important to elect people who believe that healthcare is a human right and will fight to make sure everyone gets the care they need regardless of their ability to pay .
Kal : Why is Medicare for All important to you ?
Ady @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commonsense , simple , and fair way to pay for healthcare and to guarantee that everyone gets the care that they need .
When you 're sick , you should not have to worry about how to pay the doctor or the ambulance company .
For a show that wants to address both sides , it seems like the only solution Kal Penn can come to is universal healthcare .
Since Medicare For All also happens to be the plan of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders , it doesn ’ t take a genius @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Although Medicare For All is mentioned or alluded to no less than three times in this episode , we get none of its downsides .
There ’ s no mention of the inevitable drop in healthcare quality or the potential for rationing healthcare .
They do n't want to talk about how everyone with private insurance would lose their plan or how the astronomical expense would bankrupt our budget .
There ’ s not even a hint of the observable fact that nations with universal healthcare like Italy and China performed terribly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Perhaps the U.S. could do better regarding healthcare , but Medicare For All is hardly the best answer .
Kal Penn may approve of this message , but he can ’ t change facts , no matter how much he wants Trump out of office .

DEEP STATE DIRTY TRICK?! Attorneys for Whitmer-Kidnapping Plotter Claim ‘One of the Most Active Leaders’ Was an FBI Informant Who ‘PUSHED’ the Rest Group to Engage in a ‘Crackpot’ Scheme

A new study released by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released the findings of a new study , in which the overwhelming number of new coronavirus cases came from people who religiously wear masks .
The study , which was released in September and ignored by mainstream media and politicians found that masks are ineffective at the prevention of viral infections .

In the 14 days before illness onset , 71 % of case-patients and 74 % of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public , ” the report stated .
In addition , over 14 percent of the case-patients said they “ often ” wore a face covering and were still infected with the virus .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the case-patients became sick with the virus even though they “ never ” wore a mask or face covering .
This more than proves that face masks are ineffective at stopping COVID-19 , so why does the CDC still recommend them ?
Is there something more sinister going on ?
That ’ s up to you to decide , but I would personally say it is more than a possibility .
The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci , and many political authorities are still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

A new study released by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released the findings of a new study, in which the overwhelming number of new coronavirus cases came from people who religiously wear masks. The study, which was released in September and ignored by mainstream media and politicians found that masks are ineffective at the prevention of viral infections.
Read the entire study here.
The study, which was conducted in the United States in July found that when the CDC compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from the same health care facility who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask.
In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public,” the report stated.
In addition, over 14 percent of the case-patients said they “often” wore a face covering and were still infected with the virus. The study also demonstrates that under 4 percent of the case-patients became sick with the virus even though they “never” wore a mask or face covering.
Despite over 70 percent of the case-patient participants’ efforts to follow CDC recommendations by committing to always wearing face coverings at “gatherings with ≤10 or >10 persons in a home; shopping; dining at a restaurant; going to an office setting, salon, gym, bar/coffee shop, or church/religious gathering; or using public transportation,” they still contracted the virus. –The Federalist
This more than proves that face masks are ineffective at stopping COVID-19, so why does the CDC still recommend them? Is there something more sinister going on? That’s up to you to decide, but I would personally say it is more than a possibility.
Are Face Masks & COVID Rituals Occultist Symbols For Submission?
The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci, and many political parasites authorities are still encouraging people to wear masks as well. Several states, cities, and other municipalities have even mandated face masks, citing them as one of the main tools to “slow the spread” of coronavirus and keep case numbers in their area down.
The mainstream media is deliberately ignoring this information, to obviously lay cover for tyrannical politicians seeking more power and control.


thelibertydaily--2020-10-15--Smoking-Gun Email Reveals How Hunter Biden Introduced Crooked Ukrainian Businessman to His Vice Pres

Smoking-Gun Email Reveals How Hunter Biden Introduced Crooked Ukrainian Businessman to His Vice President Dad, Joe Biden . . .

Hunter Biden discussed leveraging his connection to his father in ...

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.
The computer was dropped off at a repair shop in Biden’s home state of Delaware in April 2019, according to the store’s owner.

Other material extracted from the computer includes a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.
The customer who brought in the water-damaged MacBook Pro for repair never paid for the service or retrieved it or a hard drive on which its contents were stored, according to the shop owner, who said he tried repeatedly to contact the client.
The shop owner couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden, but said the laptop bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, named after Hunter’s late brother and former Delaware attorney general.
Photos of a Delaware federal subpoena given to The Post show that both the computer and hard drive were seized by the FBI in December, after the shop’s owner says he alerted the feds to their existence.

But before turning over the gear, the shop owner says, he made a copy of the hard drive and later gave it to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello.
Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Trump, told The Post about the existence of the hard drive in late September and Giuliani provided The Post with a copy of it on Sunday.
Less than eight months after Pozharskyi thanked Hunter Biden for the introduction to his dad, the then-vice president admittedly pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk into getting rid of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin by threatening to withhold a $1 billion US loan guarantee during a December 2015 trip to Kiev.
“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,” Biden infamously bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018.
“Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”
Shokin has said that at the time of his firing, in March 2016, he’d made “specific plans” to investigate Burisma that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”
Joe Biden has insisted that the US wanted Shokin removed over corruption concerns, which were shared by the European Union.
Meanwhile, an email dated May 12, 2014 — shortly after Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board — shows Pozharskyi attempting to get him to use his political leverage to help the company.
The message had the subject line “urgent issue” and was also sent to Hunter Biden’s business partner, Devon Archer, who also sat on the Burisma board at the time.
Pozharskyi said that “the representatives of new authorities in power tend to quite aggressively approach N. Z. unofficially with the aim to obtain cash from him.”
N.Z. isn’t identified in the email but appears to be a reference to Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, whose first name is a Ukrainian version of “Nicholas.”
When the alleged shakedown failed, “they proceeded with concrete actions” in the form of “one or more pretrial proceedings,” Pozharskyi wrote.
“We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions,” he added.

Hunter Biden responded by saying he was with Archer in Doha, Qatar, and asked for more information about “the formal (if any) accusations being made against Burisma.”
“Who is ultimately behind these attacks on the company? Who in the current interim government could put an end to such attacks?” he added.
The exchange came the same day that Burisma announced it had expanded its board of directors by adding Hunter Biden, who was put in charge of its “legal unit and will provide support for the Company among international organizations,” according to a news release that’s since been scrubbed from Burisma’s website.
Hunter Biden actually joined the board in April 2014, according to multiple reports.
His lawyer said last year that Hunter was “not a member of the management team,” adding, “At no time was Hunter in charge of the company’s legal affairs.”
About four months after Hunter Biden’s correspondence with Pozharskyi, Archer forwarded Hunter Biden an email chain with the subject line “tax raise impact on Burisma production,” which included Pozharskyi saying that the Ukrainian cabinet had submitted new tax legislation to the country’s parliament.

“If enacted, this law would kill the entire private gas production sector in the bud,” Pozharskyi wrote.
In the Sept. 24, 2014, email, Pozharskyi also said he was “going to share this information with the US embassy here in Kyiv, as well as the office of Mr Amos Hochstein in the States.”
At the time, Hochstein was the State Department’s newly appointed special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs.

In December 2017, the Naftogaz Group, Ukraine’s state-owned energy company, announced that Hochstein had joined the company as an independent director, but on Monday he announced his resignation.
“The company has been forced to spend endless amounts of time combating political pressure and efforts by oligarchs to enrich themselves through questionable transactions,” Hochstein wrote in an op-ed published by the Kyiv Post.
In addition to denying that’s he’s spoken to Hunter Biden about his overseas business dealings, Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any conflict of interest or wrongdoing by either of them involving Burisma.
Last February, he got testy during an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show when co-host Savannah Guthrie questioned whether it was “wrong for [Hunter] to take that position, knowing that it was really because that company wanted access to you.”
“Well, that’s not true. You’re saying things you do not know what you’re talking about,” the elder Biden responded.

Last December, Joe Biden also lashed out during a Democratic primary town hall event in Iowa, where a man accused him of sending Hunter to Ukraine “to get a job and work for a gas company, he had no experience with gas or nothing, in order to get access to . . . the president.”
“You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true and no one has ever said that,” Biden fumed.
Biden then continued berating the man as he stepped forward, called the man “fat” and challenged him to “do push-ups together, man.”
The FBI referred questions about its seizure of the laptop and hard drive to the Delaware US Attorney’s Office, where a spokesperson said, “My office can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer refused to comment on the specifics but instead attacked Giuliani.
“He has been pushing widely discredited conspiracy theories about the Biden family, openly relying on actors tied to Russian intelligence,” the lawyer, George R. Mesires, said of Giuliani.
Pozharskyi and the Joe Biden campaign did not return requests for comment. Hochstein could not be reached.
