clashdaily--2020-09-28--NYT Published Details Of Trump’s Tax Returns–Here’s The 411

We all know this was the REAL reason that NY prosecutors demanded access to Trump ’ s financial records , and demanded it BEFORE the election .
They were looking for ways to weaponize the contents .
To the shock of exactly nobody , we are now seeing the Times publishing the tax returns .
This was a coordinated hit .
Does anyone seriously doubt that this is precisely what Pelosi was sitting on with her creepy ‘ Good morning .
Good Sunday morning ’ , I-know-something-you-don ’ t-know TV glitch ?
The New York Times did not have lawful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Their sources committed a criminal act .
And for them , the risk was worth the potential gain… that gain being the obvious project they ’ ve been working on for 4 years .
Stop Orange Man Bad .
Trending : Christians Show Up In Force To March And Pray For The Nation In National Mall The original piece is behind a membership wall .
But plenty of others are reporting enough of the details to get a general sense of what ’ s in it even without going directly to their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his critics are seizing on are : ( a ) the $ 750 they claim he paid in total taxes one year .
( b ) the claim that he isn ’ t as financially successful as he would have us believe .
The Times story , if based on authentic documents , appears to debunk several conspiracy theories held by Democrats for years .
The tax returns do not “ any previously unreported connections to Russia , ” the Times reports .
Moreover , the Times story appears to confirm Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excuse by Democrats — that he is under audit by the IRS .
And the Times could not find “ any itemized payments to Mr. Cohen , ” ostensibly the subject of the New York investigation .
“ The tax audit looms , ” the Times notes , reporting that Trump is facing future difficulties with losses and loans .
Past exposures of Trump ’ s tax returns have confirmed that he has paid millions of dollars in personal income taxes .

We all know this was the REAL reason that NY prosecutors demanded access to Trump’s financial records, and demanded it BEFORE the election. They were looking for ways to weaponize the contents.
To the shock of exactly nobody, we are now seeing the Times publishing the tax returns. This was a coordinated hit.
Does anyone seriously doubt that this is precisely what Pelosi was sitting on with her creepy ‘Good morning. Good Sunday morning’, I-know-something-you-don’t-know TV glitch?
The New York Times did not have lawful access to the personal information they published. Their sources committed a criminal act. And for them, the risk was worth the potential gain… that gain being the obvious project they’ve been working on for 4 years. Stop Orange Man Bad.
The original piece is behind a membership wall. But plenty of others are reporting enough of the details to get a general sense of what’s in it even without going directly to their article.
Two of the key ideas his critics are seizing on are:
(a) the $750 they claim he paid in total taxes one year.
(b) the claim that he isn’t as financially successful as he would have us believe.
Trump, predictably, calls this ‘fake news’ in a Tweet.
The Times story, if based on authentic documents, appears to debunk several conspiracy theories held by Democrats for years. The tax returns do not “any previously unreported connections to Russia,” the Times reports. Moreover, the Times story appears to confirm Trump’s claim — long treated as an excuse by Democrats — that he is under audit by the IRS. And the Times could not find “any itemized payments to Mr. Cohen,” ostensibly the subject of the New York investigation. “The tax audit looms,” the Times notes, reporting that Trump is facing future difficulties with losses and loans. Past exposures of Trump’s tax returns have confirmed that he has paid millions of dollars in personal income taxes. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was widely mocked in 2017 for revealing a 2005 tax return that showed Trump had paid $38 million in federal income taxes that year. The Times reports more broadly on Trump’s business and personal financial details. Trump has not corroborated the information that the Times is reporting. —Breitbart
Tax avoidance is exactly what qualified Chartered Accountants are paid for… to minimize tax exposure to a business or individual. But this is ‘news’.
President Trump paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the past 15 years through to 2017, the New York Times said, citing tax return data https://t.co/B3nuOfnaIZ pic.twitter.com/3jKOUemV91 — Reuters (@Reuters) September 28, 2020
We would point out just as one for-instance that, since he is in Real Estate, there are laws expressly allowing you to deduct the depreciation of assets against your taxes owed. With the number of buildings Trump manages, this will NOT be an insignificant number.
Others have weighed in on certain failures of his critics’ financial analysis. Including the fact that he is not actually accused of having committed any crimes.
Trump’s tax returns are the lamest story of 2020. What did they tell us that we didn’t know? 1. Trump is rich
2. He plays loose with the facts of his wealth
3. Real estate developers have a lot of tax advantages
4. NYT will always gotcha a Republican at election time — Jeremy Boreing (@JeremyDBoreing) September 28, 2020
Like have any of you fools ever gotten out the checkbook after doing whatever you could with the accountant to reduce the tax burden on your multiple businesses? The rank ignorance is astounding and also pathetic. — Harmeet K. Dhillon (@pnjaban) September 28, 2020
In category of detail most likely to not appear in cable coverage of @nytimes story: From 2005 through 2007, @realDonaldTrump paid a total of $70.1 million in income taxes. NB: Hope your confidential records are better protected by law and ethical standards than those of @POTUS. — Hugh Hewitt (@hughhewitt) September 27, 2020
Democrats are mad at Trump because he followed the tax laws passed by the Obama administration. — Cernovich (@Cernovich) September 28, 2020
The NYT confirms Trump was telling the truth about being under audit. https://t.co/abF9cV8z4A pic.twitter.com/dF0iuA067e — Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) September 27, 2020
Sure seems like the Fake News attack on Trump’s tax returns was a well-timed distraction from rampant voter fraud and bribery in @IlhanMN’s district https://t.co/qlTKopVyTX — Rogan O’Handley ?? (@DC_Draino) September 28, 2020
Everyone involved in leaking Trump's tax returns… if that's true… deserves to rot in prison. — Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) September 28, 2020
Oh look – another Fake News tax return attack on Trump to try and slow down the ACB confirmation It won’t work She’s getting confirmed and he’s getting re-elected — Rogan O’Handley ?? (@DC_Draino) September 28, 2020
To slow down ACB? Probably.
Trying to deep-six his reelection? Absolutely.
There is likely no trick so dirty that they will not stoop to it in their quest for power.


clashdaily--2020-09-28--The Rock Talks Voting With Joe & Kamala — Here’s What They Got Wrong

Dwayne ‘ The Rock ’ Johnson is , for the most part , a likable guy .
That doesn ’ t mean he ’ s right about everything .
Here ’ s what his interview with the Dem ticket got wrong .
He ’ s one of the hardest-working guys in Hollyweird .
He has an unusual commitment to personal responsibility and accountability for someone swimming in that swamp .
He ’ s reputedly a big-hearted guy .
But he can still get things wrong .
Because we ’ re on the right , we still know how to target @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person who shared it .
It ’ s what we used to do before totalitarian ‘ cancel culture ’ came to town .

And for The Rock ’ s part in the opening of the clip , that ’ s what this was .
But once Joe and Kamala started talking , it switched gears into propaganda almost immediately .
By the end of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What went wrong in this interview ?
If she only cared about ‘ helping ’ the voter understand , she would have pointed to a website made for that purpose .
But if you TEXT something to Joe ’ s campaign number ( the same one he was dragged for confusing with a website during the debate , by the way ) you are immediately added to each and every one of the Democrat-friendly database and advertising lists that they are willing to share it with .
You are being monetized .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , isn ’ t it ?
That ’ s the first thing , but not the only thing .
Next is the way they are characterizing how voting — especially voting by mail — is being politicized .
We agree it is being politicized .
But we disagree with WHO is doing it .
From the minute the Chinavirus was locking down cities , the left started pushing HARD for mail-in voting — of a certain kind — while at the very same time pushing hard in courts to remove the very fail-safes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interference .
Why else would Judicial Watch have to take Blue states to courts to force them to purge names from voter rolls if they haven ’ t voted in 20 years , have moved away , or are deceased ?
The simple reason is that the bigger the bloat , the easier it is to hide malfeasance and interference .
For a party that has made such a big stink about ‘ foreign interference ’ in voting for the last few years , you ’ d think that would matter to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s all for show .
Joe and Kamala threw mail-in voting ( unsolicited ) into the mix with absentee voting ( solicited ) , which are very different things , and Trump has clearly distinguished between the two .
They , however , benefit politically from making the waters intentionally murky .
Mailing ballots blindly to people who may or may not even be present at the address in question — almost like mailing out flyers — is a *very* different process from sending them out in response to a specific request .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ custody issues present in the mail .
Beyond the experiment where the news agency mailed 100 dummy ‘ ballots ’ to a location ( twice ) to see how effective it was and found a significant issue of them did not go to their destination in anything like a timely manner , there are growing numbers of reasons to distrust the process .
They range from ballots dumped in a ditch , to envelopes turning up months later , to opened ballots being intentionally thrown away .
There is a more-than-coincidental percentage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one party over another .
Can you guess which party it helps ?
As we ’ ve being saying all along , for the benefit of every voter regardless of party , your vote only counts if it ’ s counted .
So make sure it arrives and gets counted .
In-person voting is the best method , unsolicited mail-outs are the worst .
There is no virtue in ‘ everyone voting ’ if they are voting blindly for the party someone else tells them they should vote for .
The real virtue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media — and sadly , even otherwise decent guys like The Rock — are hindering .
You need some clear understanding of the issues as presented by both parties , weighed against the best criticisms of their opponents ( a job the media steadfastly refuses to do with the Democrats ) and the accomplishments/promises of the candidates themselves .
( When is the last time the ‘ mainstream ’ media acknowledged a policy achievement of any kind in this administration . )
Once you have those things together , you can make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best represent your interests .
If The Rock was truly committed to the voting process , he might give Team Trump a similar block of time to raise his own issues about voting — including the lawyers that Biden bragged about hiring which have been busily tearing down one anti-tampering safeguard after another in the heat of an election cycle .
He might even raise the issue of ‘ why ’ ?
Will The Rock do it ?
Probably not .

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is, for the most part, a likable guy. That doesn’t mean he’s right about everything. Here’s what his interview with the Dem ticket got wrong.
He’s one of the hardest-working guys in Hollyweird. He has an unusual commitment to personal responsibility and accountability for someone swimming in that swamp. He’s reputedly a big-hearted guy.
But he can still get things wrong.
Because we’re on the right, we still know how to target an idea without trying to destroy the person who shared it. It’s what we used to do before totalitarian ‘cancel culture’ came to town.
Ostensibly, this was supposed to be a conversation about voting. And for The Rock’s part in the opening of the clip, that’s what this was.
But once Joe and Kamala started talking, it switched gears into propaganda almost immediately. By the end of it, Dwayne was repeating those points.
What went wrong in this interview?
Let’s start with Kamala’s open lie about ‘helping’.
If she only cared about ‘helping’ the voter understand, she would have pointed to a website made for that purpose. But if you TEXT something to Joe’s campaign number (the same one he was dragged for confusing with a website during the debate, by the way) you are immediately added to each and every one of the Democrat-friendly database and advertising lists that they are willing to share it with.
You are being monetized.
Such a kind courtesy Kamala is offering, isn’t it? That’s the first thing, but not the only thing.
Next is the way they are characterizing how voting — especially voting by mail — is being politicized. We agree it is being politicized. But we disagree with WHO is doing it.
From the minute the Chinavirus was locking down cities, the left started pushing HARD for mail-in voting — of a certain kind — while at the very same time pushing hard in courts to remove the very fail-safes that protect your voting franchise from outside interference.
Why else would Judicial Watch have to take Blue states to courts to force them to purge names from voter rolls if they haven’t voted in 20 years, have moved away, or are deceased? The simple reason is that the bigger the bloat, the easier it is to hide malfeasance and interference.
For a party that has made such a big stink about ‘foreign interference’ in voting for the last few years, you’d think that would matter to the Left. But no, that’s all for show.
Joe and Kamala threw mail-in voting (unsolicited) into the mix with absentee voting (solicited), which are very different things, and Trump has clearly distinguished between the two.
They, however, benefit politically from making the waters intentionally murky. Mailing ballots blindly to people who may or may not even be present at the address in question — almost like mailing out flyers — is a *very* different process from sending them out in response to a specific request.
A second reason is the chain of custody issues present in the mail. Beyond the experiment where the news agency mailed 100 dummy ‘ballots’ to a location (twice) to see how effective it was and found a significant issue of them did not go to their destination in anything like a timely manner, there are growing numbers of reasons to distrust the process.
They range from ballots dumped in a ditch, to envelopes turning up months later, to opened ballots being intentionally thrown away.
There is a more-than-coincidental percentage of these ballots that just happen to advantage one party over another. Can you guess which party it helps?
As we’ve being saying all along, for the benefit of every voter regardless of party, your vote only counts if it’s counted. So make sure it arrives and gets counted. In-person voting is the best method, unsolicited mail-outs are the worst.
There is no virtue in ‘everyone voting’ if they are voting blindly for the party someone else tells them they should vote for.
The real virtue part of voting is the same thing the media — and sadly, even otherwise decent guys like The Rock — are hindering.
You need some clear understanding of the issues as presented by both parties, weighed against the best criticisms of their opponents (a job the media steadfastly refuses to do with the Democrats) and the accomplishments/promises of the candidates themselves. (When is the last time the ‘mainstream’ media acknowledged a policy achievement of any kind in this administration.)
Once you have those things together, you can make an informed choice as to who should best represent your interests.
If The Rock was truly committed to the voting process, he might give Team Trump a similar block of time to raise his own issues about voting — including the lawyers that Biden bragged about hiring which have been busily tearing down one anti-tampering safeguard after another in the heat of an election cycle.
He might even raise the issue of ‘why’?
Will The Rock do it? Probably not. He’s been plugged into the Hollywood echo chamber for a very long time.

One doctor took the question in a different direction.
Will our non-exposure to the regular viruses our bodies quietly battle all the time change the danger levels of the one virus that has so many people running scared?
Here is Dr. James Todaro in his own words:
1/ An unknown side effect of lengthy lockdowns may be decreased crossover immunity to COVID-19. Research on SARS-CoV-1 suggests that lack of exposure to the common cold coronaviruses could actually worsen morbidity and mortality in those who do eventually get COVID-19. — James Todaro, MD (@JamesTodaroMD) September 18, 2020
3/ The difference in mortality was astounding. 100% of the mice infected with the general coronavirus first, then with SARS-CoV-1 survived (black circles at top). Whereas 0% of the mice infected w/ only SARS-CoV-1 survived (black boxes). (Significant difference with P<0.0001) pic.twitter.com/YPe68ZTR7I — James Todaro, MD (@JamesTodaroMD) September 18, 2020
5/ If lockdowns and social distancing are indeed decreasing the spread of common cold coronaviruses, our immune systems may be losing their "priming" over time. This may actually result in increased morbidity/mortality from COVID-19 down the road. — James Todaro, MD (@JamesTodaroMD) September 18, 2020
Is he pulling ideas out of thin air? Nope.
This is based on empirical scientific observations. The National Center for Biotechnology Information study link can be found here.
Is that science-y enough for ya?
This brings us to the obvious policy question.
With such a wide disparity of regional practices and results both within the US and outside of our borders, what do we REALLY mean when we say our policy ‘believes the science’?
There is an old axiom that you cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is’.
When we try to make policy determinations ‘based on the science’, we’re fudging the numbers more than a little. We aren’t making, in the strictest sense, scientific decisions at all.
They are policy decisions.
The only way policy decisions can be arrived at is in the same way any other policy can be arrived at — by an informed consideration of the known variables in play, balancing them against each other, weighing the importance of mutually exclusive benefits or goals against their known trade-offs and taking your best shot in moving forward.
In other words — policy decisions are, as these things must necessarily be — a political decision.
Let’s all keep this in mind the next time someone wags his finger at us while lecturing about ‘the science’.
We can ask him which experiment, precisely, indicates which sort of policy response best covers all the competing variables and outcomes under consideration.

clashdaily--2020-09-28--Why Did The New York Times Bury THIS Detail In Their ‘Trump Taxes’ Hit Piece?

The Medi ( D ) is atrocious in its job at reporting “ just the facts ” but excellent as activists and propagandists for the Democratic Party .
Relevant facts related to the “ bombshell ” report by the New York Times was buried way down deep into the article .
It ’ s much easier to push the anti-Trump agenda that the President is a “ tax cheat ” if the actual details are fuzzy and The Times refuses to publish the actual documents , just their interpretation of them .
Trending : Christians Show Up In Force To @ @ @ @ @ @ @ National Mall That way , it can be glommed onto by any journo hack who can ’ t be bothered to read .
In an Editorial Note , rabid anti-Trumper , Dean Baquet said that it was totes kewl that the Paper Of Record™ publishes the private tax documents illegally leaked to them from a third-party because…First Amendment .
Ah , yes .
The First Amendment that protects The Times from penalties for printing a clear violation against U.S. Code § 7213 is ironically the same one that protects Senator Tom Cotton ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in said newspaper about invoking the insurrection act in the opinion section .
Clearly , the staff over at The New York Times who had their hair on fire and demanded the ouster of their Op-Ed editor didn ’ t quite understand the concept of “ free speech.
” Anywho , as mentioned , The Times has published a “ bombshell ” all about Trump ’ s taxes in order to discredit him .
The tax returns that Mr. Trump has long fought to keep private tell a story fundamentally different from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public .
His reports to the I.R.S .
portray a businessman who takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet racks up chronic losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes .
Now , with his financial challenges mounting , the records show that he depends more and more on making money from businesses that put him in potential and often direct conflict of interest with his job as president .
Let ’ s back up for a second to the “ bombshell ” in paragraph 1 : Then you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 79-81 ( Emphasis Added ) : Each time , he requested an extension to file his 1040 ; and each time , he made the required payment to the I.R.S .
for income taxes he might owe — $ 1 million for 2016 and $ 4.2 million for 2017 .
But virtually all of that liability was washed away when he eventually filed , and most of the payments were rolled forward to cover potential taxes in future years .
To cancel out the tax bills , Mr. Trump made use of $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least some of which related to his renovation of the Old Post Office hotel , which qualified for a historic-preservation tax break .

The Medi(D) is atrocious in its job at reporting “just the facts” but excellent as activists and propagandists for the Democratic Party.
Relevant facts related to the “bombshell” report by the New York Times was buried way down deep into the article.
Are you surprised?
It’s much easier to push the anti-Trump agenda that the President is a “tax cheat” if the actual details are fuzzy and The Times refuses to publish the actual documents, just their interpretation of them.
That way, it can be glommed onto by any journo hack who can’t be bothered to read.
Watch: Things just got heated on CNN when anchor Poppy Harlow lost it when White House Deputy Press Secretary Brian Morgenstern dared to criticize The New York Times… ? pic.twitter.com/ZZIg5BvAt9 — TV News HQ (@TVNewsHQ) September 28, 2020
In an Editorial Note, rabid anti-Trumper, Dean Baquet — who held a staff meeting on how to cover Trump after accidentally printing a positive headline abou the President — said that it was totes kewl that the Paper Of Record™ publishes the private tax documents illegally leaked to them from a third-party because…First Amendment.
Some will raise questions about publishing the president’s personal tax information. But the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the First Amendment allows the press to publish newsworthy information that was legally obtained by reporters even when those in power fight to keep it hidden. That powerful principle of the First Amendment applies here.
Ah, yes. The First Amendment that protects The Times from penalties for printing a clear violation against U.S. Code § 7213 is ironically the same one that protects Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) when he writes an op-ed in said newspaper about invoking the insurrection act in the opinion section. Clearly, the staff over at The New York Times who had their hair on fire and demanded the ouster of their Op-Ed editor didn’t quite understand the concept of “free speech.”
Anywho, as mentioned, The Times has published a “bombshell” all about Trump’s taxes in order to discredit him.
The tax returns that Mr. Trump has long fought to keep private tell a story fundamentally different from the one he has sold to the American public. His reports to the I.R.S. portray a businessman who takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet racks up chronic losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes. Now, with his financial challenges mounting, the records show that he depends more and more on making money from businesses that put him in potential and often direct conflict of interest with his job as president.
Let’s back up for a second to the “bombshell” in paragraph 1:
Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
Then you get halfway through the article to paragraphs 79-81 (Emphasis Added):
Each time, he requested an extension to file his 1040; and each time, he made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe — $1 million for 2016 and $4.2 million for 2017. But virtually all of that liability was washed away when he eventually filed, and most of the payments were rolled forward to cover potential taxes in future years. To cancel out the tax bills, Mr. Trump made use of $9.7 million in business investment credits, at least some of which related to his renovation of the Old Post Office hotel, which qualified for a historic-preservation tax break. Although he had more than enough credits to owe no taxes at all, his accountants appear to have carved out an allowance for a small tax liability for both 2016 and 2017. When they got to line 56, the one for income taxes due, the amount was the same each year: $750.
So, President Trump used available tax credits and didn’t do anything illegal.
President Trump has basically said this in 2016 during the First Presidential debate:
The New York Times has obtained tax-return data extending over more than two decades for Mr. Trump and the hundreds of companies that make up his business organization, including detailed information from his first two years in office. It does not include his personal returns for 2018 or 2019. This article offers an overview of The Times’s findings; additional articles will be published in the coming weeks… …In response to a letter summarizing The Times’s findings, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate” and requested the documents on which they were based. After The Times declined to provide the records, in order to protect its sources, Mr. Garten took direct issue only with the amount of taxes Mr. Trump had paid. “Over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015,” Mr. Garten said in a statement. With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Mr. Garten also asserted that some of what the president owed was “paid with tax credits,” a misleading characterization of credits, which reduce a business owner’s income-tax bill as a reward for various activities, like historic preservation. Source: New York Times
There is no “bombshell”–it’s a dud.
They didn’t even discover “any previously unreported connections to Russia” in the 17 years of tax docs that they looked at. Because… of course they were looking for that. That was the main purpose of trying to get their grubby little mitts on his taxes in the first place.
As Ryan Ellis summed up over at The Federalist:
The bottom line is that the Trump business empire is basically a closed circuit — profits from business A are used to prop up business B and acquire business C. That creates a lot of deductions that offset the profit, which in turn means that in some years, very little tax is owed… …Here is where the story really falls down. It does not inform the reader about the crucial distinction between tax evasion (illegally misrepresenting income and deductions to fraudulently lessen tax liability) and tax avoidance (legally using available deductions and other tax benefits to legitimately lessen tax liability). This difference is the axle upon which the entire story turns. Unfortunately for the New York Times, all it has managed to uncover is a very aggressive taxpayer working with a very talented team of tax professionals pushing every legal tax avoidance strategy they can muster. God bless them for it… …Businesses can and should deduct all ordinary and necessary expenses against business revenue to arrive at business profit — period, end of story. To deny this is to implicitly endorse a gross receipts tax on business income, something tax experts of all persuasions will tell you is the singularly most unfair way to tax businesses.

This one was an epic hit-piece fail.
Congrats, New York Times. You deserve an award for that. It’s not the Pulitzer Prize, but it’s well-deserved.

O.J. Simpson And Leo Frank

This Saturday ( October 3 , 2020 ) will be the 25th anniversary of when O.J .

In the aftermath of the trial , several African-Americans expressed their opinions that although they believed O.J .
Simpson was guilty , he should not be punished because of past racial injustices ( e.g .
blacks being lynched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quotes : • “ I think he did it .
But I don ’ t think he ’ s guilty .
There is an unpaid debt in black history , and we pulled for O.J .

But there is one murder trial in which a black man ( who was the likely killer ) get did away with it- the murder of Mary Phagan .

This Saturday (October 3, 2020) will be the 25th anniversary of when O.J. Simpson was acquitted for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
And whether or not O.J. did do it, the trial put race relations in the spotlight back then just as several tragic incidents have done so this year.
In the aftermath of the trial, several African-Americans expressed their opinions that although they believed O.J. Simpson was guilty, he should not be punished because of past racial injustices (e.g. blacks being lynched). Here are a couple of quotes:
“I think he did it. But I don’t think he’s guilty. There is an unpaid debt in

black history, and we pulled for O.J. because of past injustices to blacks.” “So many black men have been hung, lynched, and killed for things they
didn’t do, that it’s time for a black man to get off for something he did do.”
It is likely that there have been cases in American history of black men being acquitted when they were guilty of committing crimes. But there is one murder trial in which a black man (who was the likely killer) get did away with it- the murder of Mary Phagan.
Mary Phagan was a thirteen-year-old girl working at the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia in 1913. On April 26, she went to the factory to collect her pay.
The following day, a night watchman named Newt Lee at the factory found her body in the basement. She had been beaten, raped, and strangled. Lee called the police, and was arrested as a suspect during the course of the investigation. He was later released.
The other suspects in the case consisted of James “Jim” Conley (an African-American who worked as a janitor at the factory) and Leo Frank (the superintendent of the factory and president of the Atlanta Chapter of the B’Nai B’rith- a Jewish fraternal organization).
Conley would convince the authorities that Frank had raped and murdered Phagan, and told him to dispose of the body. So Frank was arrested and brought to trial based on Conley’s testimony.
Frank’s trial is ironic since the testimony of a black man was used to convict a Jew for a crime that blacks were lynched. And during the course of the trial, crowds had gathered outside the courthouse and called for Frank’s conviction. Some of the people even chanted “hang the Jew.” Thus, the trial had set off a wave of Anti-Semitism throughout Atlanta (as well as the rest of Georgia).
Frank was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. All appeals by his attorneys were unsuccessful.

Nearly two months after Frank’s sentence was commuted, a lynch mob broke into the prison where he was held, kidnapped him, drove him to Marietta (Mary Phagan’s hometown), and hanged him.
Thus, the story was tragic. Mary Phagan had been murdered, Leo Frank had been lynched, and those who lynched him were never brought to justice.
The story was also ironic given Conley’s testimony, not to mention that Conley was almost certainly the killer. And if that was the case, then a black man did get away with a crime he had committed.
Alfred Uhry (a Jewish-American playwright whose scripts included the film Driving Miss Daisy) believes that Conley was probably the killer.
Perhaps Morgan Freeman (who had starred in Driving Miss Daisy) should do a documentary on the murder of Mary Phagan.

clashdaily--2020-09-29--Rush Limbaugh Breaks Down How Pollsters Might Be ‘Ethically’ Padding Biden’s Numbers

If they get the predictions wrong because they ’ ve been oversampling Republicans , that could hurt their future credibility .
But there ’ s a way to tip the scales for the Dems discretely .
Rush explains how… Trump ’ s election threw a wrench into what everyone thought they knew about politics .
Aside from a couple of polls , almost everyone got 2016 wrong .
The credibility of polling was at risk , especially when people started to look a little more carefully at practices like oversampling of Democrat voters , or using general population rather than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But for someone with a political ax to grind , it is helpful for energy and momentum purposes to favor a candidate you prefer… in the Media , this typically works out to be the Democrats .
Trending : Why Did The New York Times Bury THIS Detail In Their ‘ Trump Taxes ’ Hit Piece ?
El Rushbo has an interesting explanation for how pollsters can have their cake and eat it too .
RUSH : But the one thing , the one thing , folks , remains these polling units @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rasmussen , who , as I said , have it dead even or even Trump ahead , in key states , in key battleground states .
And you go back to 2016 , they had much better records , much better performance than all the other polling units in 2016 .
Now have Trump down , if you go to the Real Clear Politics average of polls , five of seven , Trump ’ s down some places 10 .
[ Side conversation about uncanny parallels between 2016 and 2020 ’ s election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ]
RUSH : Let ’ s go to back to the polling for a moment , because in the polling it ’ s almost identical .
The polling of 2016 had Hillary winning by landslide margins .
There were just a couple of polling units that had Trump , eh , holding steady , maybe even eking out a win .
Same now .
Every reputable polling unit you ’ ve ever heard of has Joe Biden winning in a landslide — plus 10 , plus 12 , plus eight .
Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on and maybe winning .
One is Rasmussen .
The other is Trafalgar .
Which takes me to the polling and a theory .
A friend of mine had a fascinating conversation with an off-the-record pollster .
And this off-the-record pollster , meaning the pollster did not want to be known , did not want to be identified .
He was content to share with my buddy how they are doing this , but he didn ’ t want his name mentioned .
And I don ’ t know the name .
My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But here ’ s the theory .
This is the theory to explain the polling discrepancies .
The polls are deliberately oversampling mushy , suburban Republicans to cover charges that they are shorting Republicans overall and deliberately under-sampling rural and small-town , conservative Democrat zip codes .
All of this to prove that they are not oversampling Democrats .
Then , they announce that they are scientifically fair on party affiliation , when they know in Trump ’ s case he has far more support from Reagan Democrats than from Bush suburbanites .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ when this was explained to me — and I got the note here during a commercial break about 20 minutes ago — I beat myself upside the head .
No wonder .
This makes perfect sense .
This is exactly how they ’ re doing it .
They ’ re oversampling Republican suburbs .
Who lives in Republican suburbs ?
White , educated women who hate Trump .
White , college-educated Millennials who literally despise Trump .
And the fact that they are Republican is all the better for the polling units because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re not shorting Republicans .
Our sample is not short of Republicans.
” In fact , in one sense , they ’ re oversampling , to a degree , and they are shorting Republicans where the true Trump support is .
So me run through this again and again explain to you .
A friend of mine had a conversation with an off-the-record pollster who clarified how these popular nationwide known , these nationally known polling units are doing it and showing Biden plus eight and plus 10 .
The first thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican voters .
That would be largely women .
The word here is “ mushy.
” So you could have some Republican men thrown in there , but you ’ ve heard the old saw here , that Trump is just doing horribly , horribly in the suburbs .
Suburban women hate Trump .
How many of you have heard that college-educated suburban women , they despise Trump .
Well , it turns out that these voters are being deliberately oversampled for two reasons .
A , they ’ re being oversampled because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump , but also oversampling Republican suburbanites allows them to beat back allegations that they are shorting Republicans and deliberately under-sampling them .
So who are they under-sampling ?
They are deliberately under-sampling people that live in small towns and rural conservative Democrat zip codes .
And they ’ re doing that to prove that they are not oversampling Democrats .
So they ’ re doing two things here that are producing massive anti-Trump results , and they are ignoring voters who would be massively for Trump .
And they ’ re doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re not shorting Democrats or Republicans , and they ’ re not oversampling Democrats .
In other words , they have found where to go to find Republicans who hate Trump — suburbanite dwellers , suburban dwellers , mainly women .
They have also found where not to go to avoid Democrat support for Trump .
And that would be rural , small town — think swing districts .
Think places Trump won in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania .
They are not going to those places where conservative Democrats are .
And they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they can prove that they ’ re not over-sampling Democrats .
They love to be able to tell people questioning their work , “ Oh , we ’ re not over-sampling Democrats .
In fact , we ’ re over-sampling the Republicans in suburbs and we ’ re under-sampling some of these rural Democrat areas.
” And then after they do all of that , then they announce that they have been scientifically fair on party affiliation .
They are doing it this way to refute allegations that they are under-sampling Republicans .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we have analyzed or looked at for the last number of years , you dig deep into the polling data , and you will find that the Democrats are massively oversampled .
Thirty-eight percent Democrats , 24 % Republican , 39 % independent or whatever it is .
And so people always say , “ See ?
See ?
No wonder they ’ re getting all these favorable results for Democrats , because they ’ re not sampling enough Republicans.
” Well , that ’ s what this is meant to counter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a right down the middle in finding participants in the poll , proper party affiliation but they know in Trump ’ s case that he has a lot more support from Reagan Democrats than he does from Republican suburbanites .
So if they oversample Republican suburbanites and undersample where conservative Democrats live , then they ’ re gon na get results like they ’ ve got .
And they can say all the while that their results are right on the money based on their sample .
They can say they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re not fudging anything .
And so if Trump ends up winning again , they say , “ You know , well , we must have picked the wrong sample.
” But they ’ re not gon na admit that anything was done on purpose .
They ’ re gon na stand by their sample as what they thought was the best cross-section of the voting public that they could find , poll after poll after poll .
When in fact what they ’ re doing is over-sampling Republicans that hate Trump .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ group — if it ’ s true , and it is , that suburban , white women , Republican women don ’ t like Trump , if you can find a number of them to poll , you kill two birds with one stone .
You go out and find a bunch of who hate Trump who happen to be Republicans .
Oh , my God .
We found a way to make sure we don ’ t have to short shrift Republicans in the sample .
Then as an added bonus , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump are and you don ’ t sample them .
You sample other Democrats where you know they hate Trump .
And that ’ s how you end up with what they ’ ve ended up with .
Now , this all comes from a pollster admitting all this to a friend of mine , who is then passing it on to me for interpretation and analysis and eventual repetition to you .
They don ’ t have to LIVE with any integrity .
They just need the appearance of having some integrity @

They’re gonna stand by their sample as what they thought was the best cross-section of the voting public that they could find, poll after poll after poll. When in fact what they’re doing is over-sampling Republicans that hate Trump. Can you imagine if you find that group — if it’s true, and it is, that suburban, white women, Republican women don’t like Trump, if you can find a number of them to poll, you kill two birds with one stone. You go out and find a bunch of who hate Trump who happen to be Republicans. Oh, my God. We found a way to make sure we don’t have to short shrift Republicans in the sample.
Then as an added bonus, you find out where Democrats who love Trump are and you don’t sample them. You sample other Democrats where you know they hate Trump.
