MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said to Rice, “Let me just ask you about something else about which you’ve been really outspoken, and that is what we should sort of expect over the next 83 days and that ‘small d’ democratic threat that the president will try to delegitimize the election, that he will try to mess with people’s ability to vote, that he will defy the results of the election if it turns out he loses his office.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-15--NBA Fires Longtime Photographer For Sharing ‘Offensive’ Kamala Harris Meme On Facebook

The NBA just fired a veteran photographer who had worked with the Houston Rockets for over thirty years for posting an offensive meme about Kamala Harris on Facebook .
Right after Joe Biden named Harris as his running mate , Houston-based freelance photographer Bill Baptist took to Facebook to post a meme that mocked the Biden campaign and his running mate with a logo that read , “ Joe and the Hoe.
” Former WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes then came upon Baptist ’ s post and shared it to her own page as she demanded the NBA fire the photographer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ works for the NBA but covers the Houston Rockets .
Has been around for a while .
Even worked for the Houston Comets .
It ’ s amazing how people will smile in your face but eventually their true colors will show .
@ NBA and Houston Rockets he needs to GO !
!
!
So disrespectful .
Bill Baptiste ( sic ) shame on you !
!
!
” The NBA responded by immediately cutting ties with Baptiste , telling KPRC-TV in a statement , “ The photographer is an independent contractor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used in Orlando.
” Baptist also released a statement of his own , saying that he had made “ a horrible mistake ” in posting the meme .
“ I deeply regret posting on my Facebook page a phrase that I saw and copied from others as a sample of some people ’ s reactions to Biden ’ s selection of Senator Harris as his choice for VP , ” he wrote .
“ The phrase I posted does not reflect my personal views at all .
I should not have been so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I sincerely apologize to all of those who have rightfully been offended and I have taken the post down from my FB page .
It was a horrible mistake on my part.
” It seems that cancel culture has claimed yet another victim .
Had Baptist posted any kind of “ offensive ” meme about President Donald Trump , he undoubtedly would have suffered no repercussions .
Since he went after a Democrat like Harris , however , the liberal outrage mob did not hesitate to come for his head .

Barack Obama Falsely Claims That President Trump Is Attempting To Discourage Voting By Trying To ‘Actively Kneecap The Postal Service’

There ’ s a longstanding tradition in this country in which former presidents refrain from publicly attacking their successors .
Unfortunately , Barack Obama has not been following this precedent at all .
He has not only constantly attacked President Donald Trump over the past few years , but also made it his personal mission to ensure that he is not reelected .
While appearing on the “ Campaign HQ with David Plouffe ” podcast on Friday , Obama used more lies to go after President Trump .
This time , he criticized Trump for attacking mail-in voting , despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to back up the assertions that he has made about the possibility of fraud with this practice .
“ What we ’ ve seen in a way that is unique to modern political history is a President who is explicit in trying to discourage people from voting , ” Obama said , according to .
“ Usually , the Republican Party for quite some time has actively tried to discourage people ’ s votes from counting in all kinds of ways , whether its voter ID laws or blatant gerrymandering , making it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find their polling places.
” “ All that stuff is contrary to American democracy , but I think the Republicans ’ view has been it ’ s all fair game as long as it helps us gain power , ” he added .
“ What we ’ ve never seen before is a President say , ‘ I ’ m going to try to actively kneecap the postal service to encourage voting , and I will be explicit about the reason I ’ m doing it.
’ That is sort of unheard of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama targeted Trump directly once again , later in the podcast .
“ You now have the President throwing in this additional monkey wrench trying to starve the postal service , ” he said .
“ My question is , what are Republicans doing where you are so scared of people voting that you are now willing to undermine what is part of the basic infrastructure of American life ?
” Obama was ignoring the fact that there is good reason to be skeptical about mail-in voting , given the fact that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 28 million mail ballots “ went missing ” over the past ten years .
“ Putting the election in the hands of the United States Postal Service would be a catastrophe .
Over the recent decade , there were 28 million missing and misdirected ballots , ” PILF president and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said .
It ’ s clear at this point that Obama is willing to resort to lying and cheating in order to get Trump out of the White House .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-14--DOJ: Yale University Discriminates Against Whites And Asians Seeking Admission

On Thursday , the U.S. Department of Justice ( DOJ ) charged that Yale University discriminates against white and Asian applicants in its admissions process .
This factor is yet another example of the pervasive racism that infects liberal institutions like the Ivy League .
And what does the elite education do for graduates of its hallowed halls ?
A recent incident showcases the Marxist indoctrination taking place on Ivy League campuses .
Two Ivy-trained lawyers in New York City are facing decades in prison after allegedly firebombing a police car during recent riots in the Big Rotten Apple .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ vicious leftwing racism that leads to violence .
Hence its charges on Thursday .
“ Yale grants substantial , and often determinative , preferences based on race to certain racially-favored applicants and relatively and significantly disfavors other applicants because of their race , ” said a DOJ attorney in a letter to the school .
The attorney continued : “ Yale ’ s race discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants , including in particular Asian American and white applicants… The likelihood of admission for Asian American and white applicants who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than for African American and Hispanic applicants to Yale College .
For the great majority of applicants , Asian American and white applicants have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials.
” Yale , with typical sanctimony and obfuscation , responded , “ We are dismayed that the DOJ has made its determination before allowing Yale to provide all the information the Department has requested thus far .
Had the Department fully received and fairly weighed this information , it would have concluded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with decades of Supreme Court precedent , ” said a spokeswoman for Yale , in a statement.
” Though Yale insisted that it intends to continue its racist admissions policies for the “ foreseeable future.
” The double talk proceeded : “ We take into consideration a multitude of factors , including their academic achievement , interests , demonstrated leadership , background , success in taking maximum advantage of their secondary school and community resources , and the likelihood that they will contribute to the Yale community and the world.
” Is Yale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ students demonstrate far lower achievement in the above areas ?
If so , why haven ’ t they provided data to back up their claim ?
But Yale doesn ’ t rely on data .
It buttresses its racism on the tired PC orthodoxy that whites are responsible for all the ills of the world .
Which is interesting , as the vast majority of the Yale staff is white .
As such , cultural masochism plays much more of a role in the Yale admissions process than does any analysis of secondary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is likely Yale and other Ivy League campuses resent the strong sense of traditional family and cultural practices in the Asian community and have decided to make them pay a price for their apostasy from the Ivy League Marxist-infused company line .

“Yale’s race discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, including in particular Asian American and white applicants… The likelihood of admission for Asian American and white applicants who have similar academic credentials is significantly lower than for African American and Hispanic applicants to Yale College. For the great majority of applicants, Asian American and white applicants have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials.”
Yale, with typical sanctimony and obfuscation, responded, “We are dismayed that the DOJ has made its determination before allowing Yale to provide all the information the Department has requested thus far. Had the Department fully received and fairly weighed this information, it would have concluded that Yale’s practices absolutely comply with decades of Supreme Court precedent,” said a spokeswoman for Yale, in a statement.”
Though Yale insisted that it intends to continue its racist admissions policies for the “foreseeable future.”
The double talk proceeded: “We take into consideration a multitude of factors, including their academic achievement, interests, demonstrated leadership, background, success in taking maximum advantage of their secondary school and community resources, and the likelihood that they will contribute to the Yale community and the world.”
Is Yale saying that white and Asian high school students demonstrate far lower achievement in the above areas? If so, why haven’t they provided data to back up their claim? But Yale doesn’t rely on data. It buttresses its racism on the tired PC orthodoxy that whites are responsible for all the ills of the world.
Which is interesting, as the vast majority of the Yale staff is white. As such, cultural masochism plays much more of a role in the Yale admissions process than does any analysis of secondary school achievement.
As for Asians, it is likely Yale and other Ivy League campuses resent the strong sense of traditional family and cultural practices in the Asian community and have decided to make them pay a price for their apostasy from the Ivy League Marxist-infused company line.

Hollywood star and radical liberal Mark Ruffalo just brought his leftwing craziness to a whole new level when he claimed that air pollution hits minority communities the hardest. Not stopping there, he went on to warn that racism and “discriminating health system based on income” are combining to greatly harm people of color.
The “Avengers: Endgame” star took to Twitter to attack the American fossil fuel industry, broadcasting his radical environmental beliefs to the world.
“This is where racism intersects with health care and the environment. Air pollution is disproportionately found in BIPOC communities. Whether they are on the front lines of fossil fuel extraction like LA or North Dakota or fossil fuel production and refinement like Oakland or Long Beach,” Ruffalo tweeted (BIPOC is a new radical lefty term that stands for “black, indigenous, and people of color.”

Ruffalo’s tweet is similar to the conclusion of a study that was carried out last year and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study alleged that white people contribute more to pollution than black and Latino people, who end up being hid hardest by the problems that are caused by the white polluters.
Ruffalo wrote his tweet alongside a link to a Guardian article about a British study that found that long-term exposure to air pollution may increase the risk of death from the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this year, Ruffalo said in an interview that the world should designate President Donald Trump as “public enemy no. 1” because of what he has done to the environment.
“I think the world should consider my president as public enemy no. 1 at this point,” the actor replied. “What we do probably in the next ten years will probably be crucial to the future of the planet. This will only become more and more evident to us. We’re not going backwards from here.”

#CatholicsforTrump denounces Kamala Harris as Biden's #VPPick. Her Anti-Catholic bigotry is a matter of public record. If the more than 50 million Catholics in America want to preserve their faith and religious liberty, they can't in good conscience support this ticket. — Catharine O’Neill (@cathponeill) August 11, 2020
Though demographically diverse, Catholics in this nation are predominantly made up of those of Irish and Italian heritage. Starting out in America in the 19th century, discriminated against and at the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder, these Catholics did more than whine about it and blame others.
Over generations of hard work and education they clawed their way out of the tenements and out of the Democratic Party. At present both groups are by and large prosperous and generally vote Republican.
The hard left and its acolytes like Harris will never forgive their success or political apostasy and target Catholics much more than they do all other religious groups combined.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich understands their bigotry:
“Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s choice as his vice presidential running mate — Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.— is the most openly anti-Catholic bigot to be on a national ticket in modern times. Harris’ record is perfectly clear. She is openly anti-Catholic in confirming federal judges, wanting to prosecute the Little Sisters of the Poor, closing Catholic Hospitals that don’t join her union allies, and favoring taxpayer-paid abortions up until birth.”
Harris is a know-nothing in more than her mental capacity.
Gingrich also wrote, “The most explicit example of Harris’ anti-Catholic bigotry was her treatment of now-U.S. District Judge Brian Buescher during his Senate confirmation hearing.”
Alexandra DeSanctis followed up on the Buescher story in conservative flagship journal National Review, “Buescher eventually was confirmed…but the fact remains that Harris was guilty of reprehensible anti-Catholic bigotry, and there’s no reason to believe her views have changed.”
The Wall Street Journal also noticed Harris’ loathing of Catholicism: “Ms. Harris’s embrace of religious intolerance is especially significant because in two years she could be the next U.S. President. What does it say about today’s Democrats that no one in the party of Al Smith and JFK sees fit to rebuke her?”
And Catholics have not been spared the hatred of Democrat-sponsored groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter. “In recent weeks, several Catholic churches have faced attacks and acts [of] desecration. Last month, [a] church in Ocala, Florida was set aflame while parishioners inside prepared for morning Mass.
A California mission founded by St. Junipero Serra was also burned in a fire and is being investigated as an arson case, while several statues of Serra have also been pulled down. A statue of the Virgin Mary was beheaded at a parish in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In Boston, a statue of Mary was set on fire, and in Brooklyn, a statue was tagged with the word ‘IDOL’ in black spray paint,” reported the Catholic News Agency.
While anti-Catholic bias is not totally reserved for the right, in conservative circles it is an aberration promoted by ahistorical cretins. On the Left it is pervasive and part of the very fabric of the ideology. Though one must admit, the current pope does not do the church’s reputation any favors.
Gingrich bats clean up: “The consequences of Harris’ openly anti-Catholic bias will be felt as other anti-Catholics draw encouragement from her bigotry to increase the activism and intensity of their assaults on Catholic institutions and Catholic personalities. If left unchecked, it will doubtlessly spread to attacks on other religious people and organizations that don’t hold to radical Democratic ideology.”
In overall analysis, no Catholic with a clear conscience can support a Democrat ticket that openly advocates against their moral, historical, and cultural foundations.
As Americans as a whole are a people who believe in the constitutional rights of all faiths to practice unencumbered, they should reject Biden, Harris, and all the anti-religious hate they would bring to the White House.

John Thompson, a Democrat who is running for State House in Minnesota, just suggested that the Minneapolis suburb of Hugo be burned down. He said this while ranting outside the home of Minneapolis Police Federation President Bob Kroll during a Black Lives Matter protest on Saturday.
The protesters gathered outside of Kroll’s home to demand his resignation, accusing him of “fostering a toxic culture within the Minneapolis Police Department,” according to KSTP-TV. One of the most intense speakers was Thompson, who won the Democratic primary for the Minnesota House of Representatives District 67A last week.
“I didn’t come here to be peaceful,” Thompson said, going on to accuse Kroll of being a member of the Ku Klux Klan, even going so far as to claim that he was the Grand Wizard.
“Why the f*** is we so peaceful in this [homophobic slur removed] neighborhood,” Thompson shouted. “F*** your motherf***ing peace, white racist motherf***ers!”
When Thompson saw a neighbor holding a Blue Lives Matter flag, the Democrat told him to “stick it up his a**.” He then suggested that the entire town should be burned down.
“This whole god***n state burned down for $20 goddamn dollars, you think we give a f*** about burning Hugo down?” he said. “Blue lives don’t mean s*** to black people. F*** Hugo, Minnesota!”
Tuscon Morrison, another activist at the protest, spoke out to say, “Here in Hugo, Minnesota, I’m going to take a wild guess and take it you don’t have to fear for your life as much as you do in Minneapolis with Bob Kroll and his gang of thugs hunting down black and brown bodies like they’re getting paid for it because they are.”
Two months ago, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) officially endorsed Thompson.
“I’ve known John for years His fierce advocacy and commitment to his community is exactly what’s needed in the state legislature right now,” Walz said. “I look forward to working with him as the next State Representative for 67A.”

In an unprecedented action on Friday , the largest NYPD police union comprising roughly 24,000 cops , the NYC Police Benevolent Association ( PBA ) , formally endorsed President Donald Trump for reelection .

Meanwhile, a far-left teachers union endorsed radical socialist candidates for Congress throughout the state of New York, including Bowman.

“With incumbent New York Rep. Eliot Engel out and his Squad-backed progressive challenger Jamaal Bowman in following a primary election upset, a powerful union in the Empire State is formally changing its endorsement.

New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), which represents hundreds of thousands of teachers, nurses and other workers and retirees in education and health care, issued its 2020 general election endorsements on the same day.

“This family has faced unimaginable pain because of this senseless act of violence,” Gwen wrote. “We are asking for your donations to assist with anything that may be needed for expenses related to his services. We offer our sincerest appreciation in this extremely difficult time.”
“There are no words or no amount of money that’s going to bring him back,” said Lee Parker, Cannon’s stepfather. “He just loved everything. Everybody.”
Cannon was reportedly shot dead last Sunday by his neighbor, Darrius Sessoms, after riding his bicycle into his yard. The murder was witnessed by another neighbor as well as by Cannon’s two sisters, who are ages seven and eight. Sessoms, 25, has since been arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
“That’s evil,” the boy’s grandfather, Merrill Race, said. “I never met this guy in my life, but that is one evil dude. He’s [in jail] where he should be.”
A candlelight vigil to honor Cannon’s life was scheduled to take place on Friday night, but it was postponed to give the family more time to mourn and heal, according to WSOC-TV. Despite the fact that the event was cancelled, dozens of people still showed up at the Wilson County Courthouse for the vigil.
“I don’t know the family, but I want to say to the family that we love you. We’re praying for you and we’re standing with you,” a pastor told WNCN-TV.
“I’ve never been to a candlelight vigil before but I just felt compelled to come tonight,” one woman said, with another adding, “I have a little grandson almost the same age and it could happen to anyone.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-17--Maxine Waters Calls Trump ‘Deplorable,’ Insists Congress Can Remove Him Using 25th Amendment

Representative Maxine Waters called President Trump a “ deplorable human being ” and suggested her congressional colleagues implement the 25th Amendment to remove him from the White House .
Waters , whose knowledge of the Constitution can only be viewed through a microscope , made the comments during an interview with MSNBC this past weekend .
The California Democrat took issue with media claims that the President called into question the eligibility of Senator Kamala Harris to run as Vice President .
As he is known to do , Trump simply took the reporter ’ s question about her eligibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I have no idea if that ’ s right .
I would have assumed the Democrats would have checked it before she gets chosen to run for vice president , ” he replied .

” The reporter tossed it out there , Trump replied , and somehow it ’ s the President who is the birther and not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Trump Using Federal Law Enforcement In Portland : ‘ Trial Run ’ For When He Refuses To Accept Election Loss Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller has since shut down any conversation over Harris ’ eligibility to run for national office saying , “ In our opinion , it ’ s case closed.
” Waters , fed the false narrative by the MSNBC reporter despite that fact , expressed her dismay with the President .
“ The President of the United States of America is unbelievably divisive .
The president lies , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ This is a president that is the most deplorable human being that I have ever encountered in my life , ” she added , “ and he ’ s undermining our democracy.
” Whoa , wait a minute .
Undermining our democracy ?
Where is she going with this one ?
Turns out , Waters used the Harris conversation as a jumping point to claim President Trump is trying to steal the election by allegedly destroying the United States Postal Service .

She further advised that the matter should “go directly to the courts” in an effort to stop “any more movements” by the President.
