“What we’re talking about [now] is mailing them to everyone on the voter list, when everyone knows those voter lists are inaccurate,” Barr explained.

Universal Mail-In Voting Is A Huge Risk!

Watching these pro-Antifa mayors and Cuomo flail with their anger is heart-warming. It’s a sign that the President is doing the right thing.

” She said that Melania approved seating arrangements for the inauguration that would keep Ivanka out of the camera shot when her dad was being sworn in as president .
“ Ivanka texted me a photo of Barack Obama ’ s swearing-in , his hand on the Bible , Michelle , Malia , and Sasha standing to his left , ” Wolkoff alleged .
“ She wrote , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is nice to have family with him for this special moment . '
” Instead , Melania and Wolkoff teamed up to launch “ Operation Block Ivanka , ” according to the book .
“ Yes , Operation Block Ivanka was petty .
Melania was in on this mission .
But in our minds , Ivanka shouldn ’ t have made herself the center of attention in her father ’ s inauguration , ” Wolkoff wrote .
She claimed that Ivanka was trying to control the schedule of Inauguration Day and make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was Donald ’ s inauguration , not Ivanka ’ s , ” Wolkoff alleged .
“ But no one was brave enough to tell her that .
Melania was not thrilled about Ivanka ’ s steering the schedule and would not allow it .
Neither was she happy to hear that Ivanka insisted on walking in the Pennsylvania Avenue parade with her children.
” RELATED : First Lady Melania Trump Steals The Show In Second Night Of Republican National Convention Melania has long denied the claims made by Wolkoff , who has admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ First Lady .
“ Anybody who secretly tapes their self-described best friend is by definition , dishonest , ” Melania ’ s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement last week .
“ The book is not only full of mistruths and paranoia , it is based on some imagined need for revenge .
Wolkoff builds herself up while belittling and blaming everyone she worked with , yet she still managed to be the victim .

This comes after Melania’s former best friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff made a number of claims about the First Lady in her memoir “Melania & Me.” Wolkoff, who worked on Donald Trump’s inauguration and acted as an unpaid advisor in the East Wing in the early days of his presidency, alleged that Melania and Ivanka have a tense relationship.
Daily Mail reported that Wolkoff claimed in her book that Melania hatched a plan to block Ivanka out of photos showing President Trump taking the oath of office on Inauguration Day with her “Operation Block Ivanka.” She said that Melania approved seating arrangements for the inauguration that would keep Ivanka out of the camera shot when her dad was being sworn in as president.
“Ivanka texted me a photo of Barack Obama’s swearing-in, his hand on the Bible, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha standing to his left,” Wolkoff alleged. “She wrote, ‘FYI regarding the swearing in. It is nice to have family with him for this special moment.'”
Instead, Melania and Wolkoff teamed up to launch “Operation Block Ivanka,” according to the book.
“Yes, Operation Block Ivanka was petty. Melania was in on this mission. But in our minds, Ivanka shouldn’t have made herself the center of attention in her father’s inauguration,” Wolkoff wrote.
She claimed that Ivanka was trying to control the schedule of Inauguration Day and make it all about herself.
“It was Donald’s inauguration, not Ivanka’s,” Wolkoff alleged. “But no one was brave enough to tell her that. Melania was not thrilled about Ivanka’s steering the schedule and would not allow it. Neither was she happy to hear that Ivanka insisted on walking in the Pennsylvania Avenue parade with her children.”

Melania Denies Wolkoff’s Claims
Melania has long denied the claims made by Wolkoff, who has admitted to secretly taping her conversations with the First Lady.
“Anybody who secretly tapes their self-described best friend is by definition, dishonest,” Melania’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement last week. “The book is not only full of mistruths and paranoia, it is based on some imagined need for revenge. Wolkoff builds herself up while belittling and blaming everyone she worked with, yet she still managed to be the victim. Sadly, this is a deeply insecure woman who’s need to be relevant defies logic.”

“AC360” guest host John Berman brought up the Pelosi incident while turning things over to Cuomo at the change of hour, saying that the House speaker had no proof to back up her claims that the scandal was a “set up,” adding that she should know the coronavirus rules that are in place in her own city.

“But, consider this, the crowds of unmasked and not socially distanced audience members at the president’s speech at the White House on the final day of the Republican Convention or the president’s own mask-less visit to a hurricane relief center in Louisiana last week,” Berman said after reading out a tweet from Trump on the Pelosi situation.
“The state’s own guidelines say masks should be warn when in public indoors and out. So, yes, it is fair to criticize the House speaker, who should have known better,” he added. “But it’s fair to criticize anyone who breaks the restrictions, guidelines, and just plain common sense we all should live by.”

Cuomo, however, could not look past his own Trump hatred long enough to criticize Pelosi.
“Maybe she was listening to the president who said masks are weakness, who’s always encouraging people to take off masks, who held his big speech about how to control the pandemic in front of a crowd that was largely without masks,” he said. “Maybe Pelosi’s falling under the influence.”

In other words, Trump would be way ahead on Election Night only to have the results swing wildly towards Biden as mail-in ballots come trickling in.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-03--George Floyd Officers Want Case Dropped After Minneapolis Police Training Manual Comes To Light

A document alleged to be the Minneapolis police training manual appears to show that the “ knee on the neck ” tactic to subdue suspects is standard operating procedure .
Attorneys for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin are calling on the charges against him to be dismissed after presenting what one Court TV analyst described as the “ absolutely shocking ” new evidence .
The manual shows officers the proper technique involved in such a scenario – by placing a knee on the suspect ’ s upper back area .
It includes an image eerily reminiscent of the scene @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s death .
“ From coast-to-coast everyone , absolutely outraged , especially by that fact , the knee on the neck , ” former attorney and host Vinnie Politan points out .
“ Well , guess what folks , take a look at what you ’ re looking at right here .
That is from the police training manual.
” An image of the page referencing the use of the knee is then shown on screen , side-by-side with video from the Floyd arrest .
RELATED : Court Docs Show Medical Examiner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Fentanyl ’ In His System The Technique Used By Chauvin Appears To Be Standard Politan explains that the evidence is part of a motion to dismiss filed by Chauvin ’ s lawyers .
“ This one is absolutely shocking .
I mean , this is what the whole story is about , ” Politan announces .
“ This is what outraged millions and millions of people , this is what caused the protests.
” “ It was the knee on the neck … and now the defense is saying dismiss the charges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right there in the police training manual , ” he continued .
One of the more obvious rebuttals the prosecution will employ is to point out that the officer kept his knee on Floyd ’ s neck for over 8 minutes and that Floyd became unresponsive .
To that end , attorney Michael Ayala explains something called “ excited delirium ” by which a suspect on drugs may exhibit “ superhuman strength.
” “ That picture shows how you are supposed to restrain people when you are afraid for excited delirium , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game-changer … it ’ s going to be tough to overcome this training instruction picture that shows exactly how [ Chauvin ] was doing it by the book.
” Medical Examiner : Floyd Had A Lethal Dose of Fentanyl In His System That ‘ excited delirium ’ argument is buoyed by court documents that were filed last week showing the medical examiner ’ s opinion that Floyd had a potentially fatal level of fentanyl in his system .
A memorandum of a conversation between a court attorney and Andrew Baker , the Hennepin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ latter allegedly stating that Floyd had , in his system , a “ fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.

” A court document argues that there is a white spot on Floyd ’ s tongue in the body camera video of him resisting arrest that later disappears .
Lane ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 milligrams of fentanyl , a lethal dose.
” Floyd , prior to becoming unresponsive , exhibited bizarre , erratic behavior , as can be seen on the police bodycam footage .
Factors such as the drugs in his system and Chauvin following his training make it clear that this case is a lot more complicated than the media wanted you to believe .
But then , why would they wait for facts to come out when they have a nation to tear apart ?

Politan explains that the evidence is part of a motion to dismiss filed by Chauvin’s lawyers.
“This one is absolutely shocking. I mean, this is what the whole story is about,” Politan announces. “This is what outraged millions and millions of people, this is what caused the protests.”
“It was the knee on the neck … and now the defense is saying dismiss the charges because the knee on the neck is right there in the police training manual,” he continued.
One of the more obvious rebuttals the prosecution will employ is to point out that the officer kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for over 8 minutes and that Floyd became unresponsive.
To that end, attorney Michael Ayala explains something called “excited delirium” by which a suspect on drugs may exhibit “superhuman strength.”
“That picture shows how you are supposed to restrain people when you are afraid for excited delirium,” Ayala states. “This is a game-changer … it’s going to be tough to overcome this training instruction picture that shows exactly how [Chauvin] was doing it by the book.”

Medical Examiner: Floyd Had A Lethal Dose of Fentanyl In His System
That ‘excited delirium’ argument is buoyed by court documents that were filed last week showing the medical examiner’s opinion that Floyd had a potentially fatal level of fentanyl in his system.

A memorandum of a conversation between a court attorney and Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County chief medical examiner, showed the latter allegedly stating that Floyd had, in his system, a “fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.”
George Floyd’s body contained a lethal dose of fentanyl at autopsy, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner. pic.twitter.com/OQcHCFBFRS — Kyle Hooten (@KyleHooten2) August 26, 2020
Baker said, according to that document, that “if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he would conclude that it was an overdose death.”
A court document argues that there is a white spot on Floyd’s tongue in the body camera video of him resisting arrest that later disappears. Lane’s attorney claims it looks like “2 milligrams of fentanyl, a lethal dose.”
Floyd, prior to becoming unresponsive, exhibited bizarre, erratic behavior, as can be seen on the police bodycam footage.
Factors such as the drugs in his system and Chauvin following his training make it clear that this case is a lot more complicated than the media wanted you to believe.
But then, why would they wait for facts to come out when they have a nation to tear apart?
