Earlier this month , a Michael Bloomberg funded data and analytics firm , Hawkfish , laid the groundwork for the left ’ s war on the legitimacy of November ’ s Presidential election results .
In an interview with Axios , Hawkfish ’ s CEO , Josh Mendelsohn said : “ We are sounding an alarm and saying that this is a very real possibility , that the data is going to show on election night an incredible victory for Donald Trump , ” he said .
“ When every legitimate vote is tallied and we get to that final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after Election Day , it will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that , a mirage , ” Mendelsohn said .
“ It looked like Donald Trump was in the lead and he fundamentally was not when every ballot gets counted.

Democrats Will Not Concede The Election
Bloomberg’s cronies didn’t even try to hide their intentions in their interview, making it clear exactly what this effort was really all about:
“The group is also trying to sensitize state and county elections officials, news and social media organizations, and the courts to the perils of premature results — and to the possibility of Trump and his team applying challenges and political pressure to reject a high share of mailed-in ballots counted after election day.”

Let’s be absolutely crystal clear here: Democrats are trying to pressure government officials and media organizations into not calling states for Trump on election night because they intend to litigate the result – no matter what the numbers say.
The left learned a valuable lesson from 2000. The moment on Election Night that networks called the Presidency for George W Bush – and the moment Al Gore called Bush to concede – Democrats lost a powerful messaging tool.
Instead of a seeking to get to the bottom of an unknown outcome, Democratic challenges to the results in Florida felt more like an opportunistic attempt to steal an election.
Who can forget the Sore-Loserman signs, hats and t-shirts that popped up everywhere between the election and Gore’s second concession in mid-December?
The longer the challenges to the Florida vote went on, the more frustrated Americans became with the challenges and the more they began to sour on Gore.
This is something the left desperately wants to avoid in 2020, which is why they are trying to get out in front of the issue and discourage any outlet from calling the election for President Trump on Election Night.
President Trump Should Declare Victory If He Wins On Election Night
If President Trump is ahead handily, which I expect to be the case, and it appears he will win the Presidency, then President Trump should absolutely declare victory on Election Night.
And right of center news outlets like Fox News and OAN should also declare him the winner.
The most reliable and trustworthy votes are those cast in-person, whether via early vote or on Election Day. The presumption of victory – albeit a rebuttable one – should lie with the most reliable and trustworthy results.
If the results on Election Night, which will be a combination of votes cast that day (which will favor Trump) and those cast in-person and early (which will favor Biden) show an overwhelming victory for President Trump, then that’s exactly what should be called.

This doesn’t mean that Joe Biden cannot win the Presidency on the basis of mail-in votes, but it does mean that the presumption should be in favor of the most-trustworthy ballots: those cast in-person.

“Do I think there’s been true activism that’s been very important and needed? Yes,” Lady Gaga added. “Do I believe Black lives matter? Yes. Do I believe this is going to get louder? Yes. Do I believe it should? Yes.”

Performance activism really seems to bother Lady Gaga, as she added, “I call that the Lindseys: the girls that protest and are taking pictures of themselves like, ‘Look at me protesting!’ ”
She went on to pledge that she would never add social justice elements to her own performances, just for the sake of doing so.
“To say that I would do it to make my show relevant? Absolutely not. I would do it to make my show right,” Lady Gaga said. “I would do it to make my show good.”

Lady Gaga Has Attacked America Before
This is far from the first time Lady Gaga has attacked and shamed America. Back in June, she said that the “racist seeds” of America have become “trees that grew prejudice branches and oppressive leaves and mangled roots that buried and entrenched themselves deep within the soil.”
One month before that, Lady Gaga took to Twitter to post a lengthy attack on President Donald Trump, who she slammed as a “racist.”
The “Chromatica” singer wrote that Trump “offers nothing but ignorance and prejudice while black lives continue to be taken. We have known he is a fool, and a racist, since he took office. He is fueling a system that is already rooted in racism, and racist activity, and we can all see what is happening.”

Detroit Police Chief James Craig just fired back after Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) called for disarming “every police department” of a variety of weapons including “tear gas, rubber and plastic bullets, and bean bag rounds.”
Markey Wants To Disarm Police
Markey stated in a news release on Monday:
“Our streets are not meant to be battlefields, and law enforcement shouldn’t be using weapons of war against protesters and other Americans. Law enforcement’s use of tear gas also compounds the effects of structural racism, because we know communities of color are already suffering disproportionately during this global respiratory pandemic. It’s time we stop using these potentially lethal weapons against our own people.”
“Portland police routinely attack peaceful protesters with brute force,” the Democratic senator added on Twitter. We must disarm these officers, and every other police department in America, of weapons of war, and enact a nationwide ban on tear gas, rubber and plastic bullets, and bean bag rounds.”

“You know what I find fascinating, Martha, and even Rashida Tlaib here out of my state here in Michigan who is calling for me to resign, let me just say this,” the police chief said. “When are we going to start talking about disarming criminals? I’ve been on the record. I support law-abiding citizens to be armed, but criminals?”
“And so it’s OK to attack police officers and then everyone always says one thing. ‘These were peaceful protesters.’ So I guess when you throw Molotov cocktails, railroad spikes, other projectiles, using green lasers, I guess that constitutes being peaceful,” Craig added. “We have never tried to stop folks from their right to free speech. We’ve been dealing with this for in excess of 100 days. Six instances where we’ve had to use force because they were either attacking us or they resisted a lawful arrest.”
Craig Has Shut Down Democrats Before
This isn’t the first time that Craig has shut down a Democratic lawmaker. Last month, he responded after some Democratic politicians called for an investigation into what they say is the use of “excessive force” on protesters.
“The lack of accountability and urgency to investigate claims of excessive force and constitutional violations, coupled with a dismissive attitude of the movement for racial justice, has eroded public trust and community relationships,” they wrote in an open letter. “Internal investigations by the Detroit Police Department cannot fix this.”
Craig did not mince words with his response.
“It’s unfortunate that these representatives have chosen to repeat a number of false claims in their letter without verifying the facts,” he said. “What really disturbs me is that when the protesters assaulted Detroit Police Officers with rocks, railroad spikes, and fireworks, never once did these representatives ask for an independent investigation into their violent criminal activity.”

The Hollywood actor and director Rob Reiner had yet another deranged political meltdown on Friday , this time going so far as to say that November ’ s presidential election will determine “ whether we live or die.

This came after McConnell announced that Trump’s nominee “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate,” which is controlled by a Republican majority. This would be the third Supreme Court justice of Trump’s presidency, and would cement a strong conservative majority on the highest court in the land.
Reiner Often Claims Election Is Life Or Death
Reiner, who might just be the most anti-Trump personality in Hollywood, has often argued that removing the president from office is a matter of life and death. Last month, he nonsensically argued that the GOP platform for the 2020 presidential election is based on allowing Trump to promote “white supremacy” and to “lett[ing] Americans die.”
“The GOP has finalized its 2020 platform: Allow Donald Trump to continue to promote White Supremacy, reject Science, cozy up to Dictators, commit Federal Crimes, and let Americans die,” he wrote back in August. “Oh, and yes continue to be a fucking Sociopathic Ignoramus.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-21--Trump Responds To Ginsburg’s Dying Wish – Questions If It Actually Came From Her

After Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Friday evening , it was widely reported that her final wish had been that no replacement be named to fill her vacant seat until after the election .
President Donald Trump responded to this wish on Monday , questioning if it actually came from Ginsburg herself .

“ That sounds like a Schumer deal , or maybe a Pelosi or Schifty Schiff that came out of the wind .

“ Look , the bottom line is , we won the election .

Immediately after Ginsburg died on Friday at the age of 87 , NPR published a statement reportedly given by Ginsburg to her granddaughter Clara Spera that she dictated in the days before her death .

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed legislation to withhold state funding for municipalities that defund the police .
The “ Combating Violence , Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act , ” was proposed by DeSantis on Monday , and was created in response to the violence seen across the country .
“ Boldest And Most Comprehensive ” Legislation Of Its Kind The bill is part of a growing push back against the recent riots and the left-wing movement to defund the police .
DeSantis said that the bill is the “ boldest and most comprehensive ” legislation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear and predictable penalties ” for anyone in the state of Florida who participates in “ violent assemblies.
” Simply participating in these “ violent assemblies ” would count as a third degree felony .
Anyone who tears down a monument could be charged with a second degree felony , and obstructing traffic in roads would also count as a third degree felony .

It seems like DeSantis has been taking inspiration from the Justice Department. New York City, Portland and Seattle have been labelled as “anarchist jurisdictions” by the Department on Sunday, and have been targeted to have their federal funding removed.
The move is also reminiscent of Texas legislation that sought to defund sanctuary cities. That law was recently upheld by the U.S. Fifth Court of Appeals.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-21--Michael Moore Calls On Pelosi To Shut Down Government To Stop Republicans From Filling SCOTUS Seat

The radically liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore is calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) to stop President Donald Trump and Republicans from filling the Supreme Court seat that has been left open after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg .
Moore Wants Pelosi To Shut Down The Government To Stop Trump Moore spent much of his podcast on Sunday urging Democrats to do whatever it takes to stop Trump from filling Ginsburg ’ s seat .
He ended the show by addressing Pelosi directly , urging her to pass the government ’ s budget to prevent the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” to continue operating .
“ You have to do something that the Republicans have been doing for decades , ” Moore said , addressing Pelosi .
“ For the first time… you have to block the continuing resolution that funds the government and just let it shut down.
” “ Shut the whole damn thing down , ” he added .
“ Shut the government down , so they do not have the funds to try to ram through this person they want to get on the Supreme Court before Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Issues Warning To Dems About Biden ’ s Campaign In Michigan – ‘ It ’ s Actually Worse Than Hillary ’ s ’ It should be noted that Moore doesn ’ t even know who “ this person ” is yet , as Trump has not nominated anyone to fill Ginsburg ’ s seat at this time .
The specific identity of “ this person ” doesn ’ t seem to matter to Moore , however , as he is already against anyone chosen by Trump and the GOP .
“ Just take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ runs the halls of Congress , ” Moore continued .
“ Or , make it contingent on Mitch McConnell signing a pledge , in writing , that he will put no Supreme Court nominee in front of the Senate before inauguration day.
” Despite what Moore said , the House of Representatives has no role whatsoever in picking or approving a Supreme Court nominee , so McConnell has no obligation to listen to anything that Pelosi has to say on this subject .
“ I know , some people won ’ t like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but we ’ re all going to have to sacrifice here , a little bit , for a week or two — or whatever it is — to make sure that the Republicans… can not do the job that they ’ re going to try to do , to not pull off another one of their crimes.
” Moore opened up more about this in an interview with MSNBC that same day .
“ We are going to stop any effort on the part Trump , McConnell , the Republicans , to try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ —literally , it ’ s going to be in the days before the majority of Americans show up to throw Trump out of the White House , ” the filmmaker said .
“ This is not going to happen .
And it ’ s not going to not happen on its own , though , ” she added .
“ What I ’ m encouraging people to do this weekend is , umm , we need to be out in the streets .
We need to be in front of the local offices @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senators have their local offices .
We need protests out there every single day.

Moore spent much of his podcast on Sunday urging Democrats to do whatever it takes to stop Trump from filling Ginsburg’s seat. He ended the show by addressing Pelosi directly, urging her to pass the government’s budget to prevent the U.S. Senate from “having the funds” to continue operating.
“You have to do something that the Republicans have been doing for decades,” Moore said, addressing Pelosi. “For the first time… you have to block the continuing resolution that funds the government and just let it shut down.”
“Shut the whole damn thing down,” he added. “Shut the government down, so they do not have the funds to try to ram through this person they want to get on the Supreme Court before Trump’s gone.”
