” “ Well , Leader Schumer and I said it earlier at our availability with the press , we all have agreed that we need to have an agreement , ” Pelosi began .
“ We have to have an agreement , though , that faces the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe that the White House has not really accepted the gravity of the situation , and that ’ s why they ’ re thinking in smaller ways than they need to.

We have to know what we ’ re talking about ; that ’ s why we have to be precise about what we say and the impact it has .
And really , we have a different point of view than the Republicans on this.
” Pelosi went on to place all of the blame for American coronavirus deaths on Republicans , suggesting that Democrats have only been trying to help the situation .
In reality , it ’ s Democrats who have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sending COVID-19 aid to the American people , as they continue to politicize this crisis in the hopes that it will destroy Trump ’ s chances in the November election .
“ There ’ s no in-between .
The fact is that since we passed our bill , which was eleven weeks ago tomorrow , 3.3 million more people have gone on to the infected list , ” Pelosi said .
“ Of those infected , 70,000 more people have died , and the Republicans said they were going to push the pause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then last week , they came up with some piecemeal thing.
” “ Their piecemeal , meager approach that doesn ’ t even recognize the gravity of the situation , ” she added .

We do believe that the White House has not really accepted the gravity of the situation, and that’s why they’re thinking in smaller ways than they need to.”
Not stopping there, Pelosi continued:
“We have a situation where we’re trying to save the lives, the livelihood and the life of our democracy. We are making some progress. We are understanding each other better, exchanging paper to see in writing. Chuck Schumer and I– Leader Schumer and I are legislators for many years. We understand when we have a challenge to face, and we want to have a legislative solution. We have to know what we’re talking about; that’s why we have to be precise about what we say and the impact it has. And really, we have a different point of view than the Republicans on this.”
Pelosi went on to place all of the blame for American coronavirus deaths on Republicans, suggesting that Democrats have only been trying to help the situation. In reality, it’s Democrats who have been dragging their feet when it comes to sending COVID-19 aid to the American people, as they continue to politicize this crisis in the hopes that it will destroy Trump’s chances in the November election.
“There’s no in-between. The fact is that since we passed our bill, which was eleven weeks ago tomorrow, 3.3 million more people have gone on to the infected list,” Pelosi said. “Of those infected, 70,000 more people have died, and the Republicans said they were going to push the pause button, and they did. And then last week, they came up with some piecemeal thing.”
“Their piecemeal, meager approach that doesn’t even recognize the gravity of the situation,” she added. “If they had recognized it, we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in,” she said, then repeated, “Since our bill passed eleven weeks ago tomorrow, 3.3 million people, again, have gone on to the list of those infected, 70 thousand more have died. That didn’t have to happen.”
Pelosi can keep trying to play political games with American lives all she wants, but the majority of us see right through it. The American people are far smarter than Pelosi thinks we are, and she may end up learning that the hard way…come November.

There is a huge array of challenges that President Trump must overcome.
He’s dealing with the worst viral pandemic in over 100 years. That has caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, and many working Americans losing their homes and getting evicted.
Many powerful politicians are demanding all mail-in voting.
He’s dealing with a crooked, biased media that lies about him constantly, and Big Tech that censors him. 2016 proved that the political polling industry is either corrupt or incompetent.
On top of that, the House of Representatives has been overrun with socialist, un-American radicals.

So what do you think? Will the silent majority show up again in 2020 and put President Trump over the top?

New York And DC Attorney Generals File Suit To Shut Down NRA – Pro Second Amendment Group Fights Back

In a move that is a shot at the Second Amendment and a first step towards potential Biden administration moves to severely restrict gun ownership , the attorneys general of New York state and the District of Columbia are suing the National Rifle Association ( NRA ) to force its dissolution .
The NRA is fighting back with a lawsuit of their own .
President Donald Trump was quick to comment .
“ I think the NRA should move to Texas and lead a very good and beautiful life .
And I ’ ve told them that for a long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Texas – Texas would be a great state or to another state of their choosing – but I would say that Texas would be a great place and an appropriate place for the NRA , ” said President Trump .
The NRA was ready for the lawsuit and filed suit themselves .
The NRA claims NY state Attorney General Letitia James “ made the political prosecution of the NRA a central campaign theme ” when she was running for office in 2018 , and has been biased against the organization since then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rules would procure a just outcome , the NRA has not been treated fairly by James ’ s office .
The New York Democratic Party political machine seeks to harass , defund , and dismantle the NRA because of what it believes and what it says , ” an NRA statement explained .
Nevertheless , James breathlessly insists the group has “ a culture of self-dealing , taking millions of dollars for personal use and granting contracts that benefited leaders ’ family and associates… For nearly three decades , Wayne LaPierre has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the NRA and has exploited the organization for his financial benefit , and the benefit of a close circle of NRA staff , board members , and vendors , ” the massive civil complaint alleges .
D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said in his suit , “ Charitable organizations function as public trusts — and District law requires them to use their funds to benefit the public , not to support political campaigns , lobbying , or private interests.
” The New York state lawsuit charges that LaPierre , former chief of staff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Woody ” Phillips , and general counsel John Frazer , involved themselves in self-dealing and turned a blind eye to conflicts of interest .
Supposed conflicts included giving millions in contracts to companies like technology firm HomeTelos , whose CEO had a close relationship with Phillips .
It also records personal expenses for which LaPierre was allegedly reimbursed by the organization .
These include personal air travel for him and his family and presents to friends .
Added were millions of dollars for personal and home security .
The lawsuit also claims that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Frazer “ despite their lack of skills or experience for their respective roles and responsibilities.
” In addition to asking for the NRA to be destroyed , James ’ office seeks to have LaPierre and Frazer ousted from their roles , and a declaration from the court saying “ that directors or members in control of the NRA have looted or wasted the NRA ’ s charitable assets , have perpetuated the corporation solely for their personal benefit , or have otherwise acted in an illegal , oppressive or fraudulent manner.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets , ” James said in a statement to the press .
“ The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse , which is why , today , we seek to dissolve the NRA , because no organization is above the law.
” NRA President Carolyn Meadows called the lawsuit “ a baseless , premeditated attack… You could have set your watch by it : the investigation was going to reach its crescendo as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Meadows said the NRA “ will not shrink from this fight – we will confront it and prevail.

In a move that is a shot at the Second Amendment and a first step towards potential Biden administration moves to severely restrict gun ownership, the attorneys general of New York state and the District of Columbia are suing the National Rifle Association (NRA) to force its dissolution.
The NRA is fighting back with a lawsuit of their own. President Donald Trump was quick to comment.
“I think the NRA should move to Texas and lead a very good and beautiful life. And I’ve told them that for a long time. I think they should move to Texas – Texas would be a great state or to another state of their choosing – but I would say that Texas would be a great place and an appropriate place for the NRA,” said President Trump.

The NRA was ready for the lawsuit and filed suit themselves. The NRA claims NY state Attorney General Letitia James “made the political prosecution of the NRA a central campaign theme” when she was running for office in 2018, and has been biased against the organization since then.
“Despite hopes that playing by the rules would procure a just outcome, the NRA has not been treated fairly by James’s office. The New York Democratic Party political machine seeks to harass, defund, and dismantle the NRA because of what it believes and what it says,” an NRA statement explained.
Nevertheless, James breathlessly insists the group has “a culture of self-dealing, taking millions of dollars for personal use and granting contracts that benefited leaders’ family and associates… For nearly three decades, Wayne LaPierre has served as the chief executive officer of the NRA and has exploited the organization for his financial benefit, and the benefit of a close circle of NRA staff, board members, and vendors,” the massive civil complaint alleges.
D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said in his suit, “Charitable organizations function as public trusts — and District law requires them to use their funds to benefit the public, not to support political campaigns, lobbying, or private interests.”
The New York state lawsuit charges that LaPierre, former chief of staff Joshua Powell, former CFO Wilson “Woody” Phillips, and general counsel John Frazer, involved themselves in self-dealing and turned a blind eye to conflicts of interest.
Supposed conflicts included giving millions in contracts to companies like technology firm HomeTelos, whose CEO had a close relationship with Phillips.
It also records personal expenses for which LaPierre was allegedly reimbursed by the organization. These include personal air travel for him and his family and presents to friends.
Added were millions of dollars for personal and home security. The lawsuit also claims that LaPierre brought on board Phillips, Powell, and Frazer “despite their lack of skills or experience for their respective roles and responsibilities.”
In addition to asking for the NRA to be destroyed, James’ office seeks to have LaPierre and Frazer ousted from their roles, and a declaration from the court saying “that directors or members in control of the NRA have looted or wasted the NRA’s charitable assets, have perpetuated the corporation solely for their personal benefit, or have otherwise acted in an illegal, oppressive or fraudulent manner.”
“The NRA’s influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets,” James said in a statement to the press. “The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law.”
NRA President Carolyn Meadows called the lawsuit “a baseless, premeditated attack… You could have set your watch by it: the investigation was going to reach its crescendo as we move into the 2020 election cycle.”
She added:
“It’s a transparent attempt to score political points and attack the leading voice in opposition to the leftist agenda. This has been a power grab by a political opportunist – a desperate move that is part of a rank political vendetta. Our members won’t be intimidated or bullied in their defense of political and constitutional freedom.”
Meadows said the NRA “will not shrink from this fight – we will confront it and prevail.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-06--Pelosi Falsely Claims Republicans Don’t Give ‘A D*mn’ About Minorities

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) just showed once again that she will say absolutely anything to attack Republicans , regardless of how false and ridiculous it is .
In a new interview on Thursday , Pelosi stooped so low as to say that Republicans don ’ t give “ a d*mn ” about minorities .
While Pelosi appeared on CNBC ’ s “ Squawk Box , ” host Jim Cramer asked her : “ Why can ’ t you go across the aisle and say , ‘ Representative Lewis , civil rights legend , would have loved it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ totally disenfranchised in the country .
No matter what .
Can we give — can we give a huge chunk of money to the people who are disenfranchised , to minorities who want so badly to stay in business and can ’ t , and to people who are trying to go to college or have student loans , who are minorities , who are the most affected because they had the least chance in our country ?
’ That ’ s got to be something both sides can agree to.
” Pelosi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race-baiting question and running with it .
“ Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn for what you just described , ” Pelosi said of Republicans .
“ That is the problem .
See , they don ’ t believe in governance .
They don ’ t believe in governance.
” “ That requires some acts of government to do that .
But just what you describe is what Mr. Schumer , Chuck Schumer , is proposing that we do with some of the resources in the bill , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schumer ’ s proposal exactly.
” “ If we are going to juggle this money lets focus it where it is going to do the most good , ” Pelosi added .
“ And basically , economists tell us spend the money , invest the money for those who need it the most because they will spend it and it will be a stimulus or at least a stabilization.
” This came one day after Pelosi claimed President Donald Trump and Republicans have not “ really accepted the gravity of the situation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pelosi ’ s deranged hatred for everyone who thinks differently than she does politically is beyond disturbing at this point .

Pelosi wasted no time in taking this sickeningly race-baiting question and running with it.
“Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn for what you just described,” Pelosi said of Republicans. “That is the problem. See, they don’t believe in governance. They don’t believe in governance.”

This came one day after Pelosi claimed President Donald Trump and Republicans have not “really accepted the gravity of the situation,” referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pelosi’s deranged hatred for everyone who thinks differently than she does politically is beyond disturbing at this point.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-06--The Only Cognitive Test Biden Needs to Take: Debate Trump

Joe Biden ’ s cognitive ability and mental state are once again front and center as the status of the Presidential debates have come into question .
In what can only be described as one of the former Vice President ’ s most bizarre and rambling interviews ever ( and that ’ s a hell of a high bar ) , Biden put the issue on full display : Former Vice President Joe Biden balked at the idea of taking a cognitive test and revealed that he has not taken one , following ongoing charges against his mental acuity from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ No , I haven ’ t taken a test , ” Biden said during a panel interview hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists , to be aired in full on Thursday… “ Come on , man , ” he said .
“ That ’ s like saying you , before you got on this program , you take a test where you ’ re taking cocaine or not .
What do you think ?
Huh ?
Are you a junkie ?
” RELATED : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Earlier Due to Main-In Voting Did Biden Lie About Being Tested ?
This Biden response was quite different than the first time the former VP was asked about the issue : The good news for Joe Biden is that there is only one cognitive test that he needs to take : a debate against Donald Trump .
If Biden wants to put an end to the speculation about whether or not he is mentally fit for the job of President , he should stand on a stage with President Trump and go toe-to-toe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issues facing the country .
Joe Biden can ’ t hide in his basement forever .
He must prove to the American people that he is up to the task .
It is clear that the media will not make Biden answer any of the difficult questions .
It is clear that they won ’ t hold Biden accountable for his constant missteps , mistakes , and misremembering .
Hell , even Hillary Clinton was occasionally asked tough questions .
Uncle Joe gets nothing but softballs from the media – and he whiffs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for the Biden campaign , a debate is the absolute last thing they want .
Biden supporters can count on the media to only treat Joe with kid gloves .
They know that a series of debates with President Trump will see Trump landing haymaker after haymaker on their candidate .
This is precisely why high-profile Biden supporters , like Joe Lockhart , Bill Kristol , and Thomas Friedman have all advocated that Biden skip the debates altogether .
The Trump campaign , recognizing the desperate political catch-22 that Biden and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to debate and the knowledge that it would end in utter humiliation for the former VP – have smartly leaned into the issue .
This week , the Trump campaign urged the addition of a fourth debate in early September : President Trump ’ s re-election campaign is formally asking that a fourth debate between the president and Democratic challenger Joe Biden be added and that the showdown be held early next month , before many states start sending out absentee ballots to voters .
In a letter sent Wednesday to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Trump campaign urged that if a fourth showdown can ’ t be added , then the date of the first debate – scheduled for Sept. 29 – be moved up to the first week of September .
So far , the Biden campaign has resisted efforts to add an additional debate , but at the same time has attempted to assure voters and the media that Biden will actually show up for the three already scheduled .
Only time will tell if Biden ’ s campaign will actually roll the dice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump for a series of debates .
One thing we absolutely do know , under no circumstances should any individual even be considered for the office of President if they aren ’ t willing to go face-to-face with their opponent .
As a Trump supporter , I urge Joe Biden to take this singularly important cognitive test , the only test that matters , and debate our President .

Joe Biden’s cognitive ability and mental state are once again front and center as the status of the Presidential debates have come into question.
In what can only be described as one of the former Vice President’s most bizarre and rambling interviews ever (and that’s a hell of a high bar), Biden put the issue on full display:
Former Vice President Joe Biden balked at the idea of taking a cognitive test and revealed that he has not taken one, following ongoing charges against his mental acuity from President Donald Trump and his allies. “No, I haven’t taken a test,” Biden said during a panel interview hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists, to be aired in full on Thursday… “Come on, man,” he said. “That’s like saying you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?”

Did Biden Lie About Being Tested?
This Biden response was quite different than the first time the former VP was asked about the issue:
At a news conference in June, when Fox News’ Doug McKelway asked if he’d been tested for his mental acuity, Biden responded that he’s “been tested and I’m constantly tested.”
The good news for Joe Biden is that there is only one cognitive test that he needs to take: a debate against Donald Trump.
If Biden wants to put an end to the speculation about whether or not he is mentally fit for the job of President, he should stand on a stage with President Trump and go toe-to-toe with the Commander-in-Chief on all of the issues facing the country.
Joe Biden can’t hide in his basement forever. He must prove to the American people that he is up to the task. It is clear that the media will not make Biden answer any of the difficult questions.
It is clear that they won’t hold Biden accountable for his constant missteps, mistakes, and misremembering. Hell, even Hillary Clinton was occasionally asked tough questions. Uncle Joe gets nothing but softballs from the media – and he whiffs on those half the time.
Biden’s Free Pass Not Enough
Still, for the Biden campaign, a debate is the absolute last thing they want.
Biden supporters can count on the media to only treat Joe with kid gloves. They know that a series of debates with President Trump will see Trump landing haymaker after haymaker on their candidate.
This is precisely why high-profile Biden supporters, like Joe Lockhart, Bill Kristol, and Thomas Friedman have all advocated that Biden skip the debates altogether.
The Trump campaign, recognizing the desperate political catch-22 that Biden and his campaign are in – caught between a need to debate and the knowledge that it would end in utter humiliation for the former VP – have smartly leaned into the issue.
Trump Amplifies Need for Debates
This week, the Trump campaign urged the addition of a fourth debate in early September:
President Trump’s re-election campaign is formally asking that a fourth debate between the president and Democratic challenger Joe Biden be added and that the showdown be held early next month, before many states start sending out absentee ballots to voters. In a letter sent Wednesday to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), the Trump campaign urged that if a fourth showdown can’t be added, then the date of the first debate – scheduled for Sept. 29 – be moved up to the first week of September.
So far, the Biden campaign has resisted efforts to add an additional debate, but at the same time has attempted to assure voters and the media that Biden will actually show up for the three already scheduled.
Only time will tell if Biden’s campaign will actually roll the dice and let Biden stand on stage with President Trump for a series of debates.

As a Trump supporter, I urge Joe Biden to take this singularly important cognitive test, the only test that matters, and debate our President.
Watch my interview with Brett Smith about the need for Biden to debate:
