Wow, just called! @TTuberville – Tommy Tuberville WON big against Jeff Sessions. Will be a GREAT Senator for the incredible people of Alabama. @DougJones is a terrible Senator who is just a Super Liberal puppet for Schumer & Pelosi. Represents Alabama poorly.

Is every Democrat out there nuts ?
I ’ ve said this many times and I ’ ll say it again : West of the Hudson River , east of the Los Angeles County line and south of the Cook County line there is a whole country out there about which the political establishment knows very little .
In Washington and New York , the politicos and the media like to call us “ the American People ” as if we are some kind of exhibit in a zoo .
To them , we are .
But if you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all due respect to our great friends at Southwest Airlines , now would be a great time to get in your cars , take your Trump 2020 face masks and drive a lap of America .

Think of it as a circular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your nation up close and personal , there ’ s another benefit .
You ’ ll start feeling much better about President Trump ’ s re-election .
I ’ m not saying he can not lose .
What I am saying is that he is hugely popular among the citizens of Middle America , those people including you and me who have not caught the virus — you know , the Trump Derangement Syndrome virus that the media , the Democrats and other assorted crackpots are trying to spread .
If , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that says that the president is only one percent ahead of Joe Biden in Texas , you don ’ t know Texas ( where , full disclosure , we operate KBDT-AM in Dallas ) .
There is very little appetite in Texas for the Joe Biden platform of killing the energy business .
Unless you believe CNN , the New York Times of cable news outlets .
The truth is that even media outlets you think you can trust — The Wall Street Journal , as an example — can do incredibly stupid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there is no evidence that the president ’ s early shutdown of traffic from China to America helped flatten the curve despite the fact that Biden called the move racist and xenophobic .

The truth is that most of our neighbors don ’ t spend much time or attention on following the news because we already know that it is hopelessly biased against reality .
But every time we see a city smoking from riots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that probably does not help the Biden campaign .
The big question is what happens if and when Trump is re-elected ?
Will the crazies among the Democrats — which seems to be virtually all of them — keep it up ?
Will the president need to send in the FBI — the real FBI — and start arresting the rioters as well as the government officials who let them riot and charge them with violations of civil rights laws ?
Will you see a governor in jail before his term is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city council ( perhaps Minneapolis ) ?
What will happen when people like Bill de Blasio or Lori Lightfoot find out that there are real legal consequences for not doing their jobs ?

westernjournal--2020-07-16--Dan Crenshaw Slams NY Gov. Cuomo for Bragging About COVID Response

For a guy with one eye , Dan Crenshaw sees a lot more clearly than much of the mainstream media .
The Texas Republican who ’ s become one of the rising stars of the party from the congressional Class of 2019 turned that vision Wednesday onto New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo and the ludicrously positive coverage he ’ s been getting for his disastrous handling of the coronavirus crisis in the Empire State .
Crenshaw didn ’ t like what he saw – and neither should the sane part of the rest of America .
Appearing on “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Crenshaw took a question from host Shannon Bream that got to the heart of the media ’ s mass adulation for the governor whose state leads the nation by far in deaths from COVID-19 .
As Bream ’ s question noted , Cuomo has not been shy about bragging about his performance himself .
TRENDING : Victor Davis Hanson : Millions of NFL Fans Are About To Shrug and Change the Channel Sure , his state – and particularly New York City – was the epicenter of the nation ’ s deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the crisis has moved on to the states , Cuomo is claiming victory – despite the fact that its 32,000-plus deaths On Monday night , he was a guest on “ The Tonight Show , ” where , according to the New York Post , host Jimmy Fallon tossed him such hardball questions as “ what phase of dating are you currently in ?
” The same day , Cuomo unveiled a bizarre commissioning a bizarre poster unveiled Monday intended to frame New York ’ s COVID response in a way that would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under the despotism of Kim Jong Un .
The poster wasn ’ t well received in conservative quarters .
It even offended CNN ’ s Jake Tapper , who was one of the rare pundits who called Cuomo out on it .
That was the context of Bream ’ s question Wednesday .
“ We know how bad the situation there was .
It was dire .
It was frightening .
They are past it , ” she told Crenshaw .
“ But what do you make about this idea that the governor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the back , I mean , from a lot of the media and from himself , it appears.
” “ I ’ m always amazed by their ability to spin false narratives , ” he told Bream .
Check out the interview here : Republican governors are currently being hammered in the mainstream media for rising coronavirus infection rates , which are being attributed to their decision to re-open their economies .
Whatever the merits of that argument , the results or Cuomo ’ s decision when his state was in crisis are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the thousands of dead bodies – the elderly who lived in facilities where Cuomo ’ s health department liberally ordered that COVID-19 patients and those who might have been infected with COVID-19 had to be accepted .
Cuomo , Crenshaw said , “ took affirmative action that actually harmed New Yorkers.
” “ He put patients who were infected back in nursing homes .
You can not forget this , ” Crenshaw said .
“ He actually took action that hurt people , and it ’ s responsible for a huge amount of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ curve , the exact curve we were supposed to avoid .
“ And then he goes and makes an artistic poster about it and tries to pretend like it ’ s a good thing .
It ’ s really unbelievable , and I think it really offends a lot of New Yorkers , as it should.
” Of course , taking action that will actually hurt people could leave a civilian liable for prosecution for committing a crime .
Considering that Cuomo is a governor , and a Democratic governor at that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecution , he won ’ t even be accused in the court of public opinion .
Cuomo ’ s administration , of course , denies any responsibility for the nursing home disaster at all – instead blaming , of course , President Donald Trump .
A spokesman told Fox News the state ’ s nursing home deaths weren ’ t caused by infected patients but by infected staff members who weren ’ t aware they ’ d been exposed to the coronavirus .
He even cited a study by the New York state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It might seem obvious that a New York state Department of Health report absolving the New York state Department of Health of responsibility for thousands of deaths might be suspect , and even The Associated Press found reason to ask suspicious questions about the Cuomo administration ’ s whitewash .
But that kind of criticism of the Democratic Cuomo has been rare among a mainstream media that has fawned over the governor for months , while in a state of war with President Donald Trump ’ s administration that ’ s almost four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the coronavirus crisis is just a front in that war — and Cuomo ’ s one of their allies .
Fortunately for the sane part of the country , and the Republican Party he ’ s helping to lead , Dan Crenshaw has been seeing the whole situation clearly .
Clearer than the mainstream media ever will .
We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism .

As Bream’s question noted, the Democrat has not been shy about bragging about his performance himself.
Sure, his state – particularly New York City – was the epicenter of the nation’s deaths in the pandemic, but now that the crisis has moved on to other states, Cuomo is claiming victory – despite the fact that its 32,000-plus deaths dwarf any other state.
On Monday night, he was a guest on “The Tonight Show,” where, according to the New York Post, host Jimmy Fallon tossed him such hardball questions as, “What phase of dating are you currently in?”
The same day, Cuomo unveiled a bizarre poster intended to frame New York’s COVID-19 response in a way that would be familiar to any North Korean living under the despotism of Kim Jong Un.
The poster wasn’t well received in conservative quarters.

It even offended CNN’s Jake Tapper, who was one of the rare pundits who called Cuomo out on it.

That was the context of Bream’s question Wednesday.
“We know how bad the situation there was. It was dire. It was frightening. They are past it,” she told Crenshaw.
“But what do you make about this idea that the governor is sort of getting a pat on the back, I mean, from a lot of the media and from himself, it appears?”
Crenshaw’s answer was dead on.
“I’m always amazed by their ability to spin false narratives,” he told Bream.
Check out the interview here:
Watch the latest video at foxnews.com
Republican governors are being hammered in the mainstream media for rising coronavirus infection rates, which are being attributed to their decision to reopen their economies. Whatever the merits of that argument, the results or Cuomo’s decision when his state was in crisis are indisputable.
They’re proven by the thousands of dead bodies — the elderly who lived in facilities where Cuomo’s health department liberally ordered that COVID-19 patients and those who might have been infected with COVID-19 had to be accepted.
Cuomo, Crenshaw said, “took affirmative action that actually harmed New Yorkers.”
“He put patients who were infected back in nursing homes. You cannot forget this,” the congressman said. “He actually took action that hurt people, and it’s responsible for a huge amount of deaths there. It resulted in this curve, the exact curve we were supposed to avoid.
“And then he goes and makes an artistic poster about it and tries to pretend like it’s a good thing. It’s really unbelievable, and I think it really offends a lot of New Yorkers, as it should.”
Is the media covering for Cuomo's performance in New York? Yes No

Of course, taking action that will actually hurt people could leave a civilian liable for prosecution for committing a crime. Considering that Cuomo is a governor, and a Democratic governor at that, he’ll not only never face prosecution, he won’t even be accused in the court of public opinion.
Cuomo’s administration, of course, denies any responsibility for the nursing home disaster at all — instead blaming, of course, President Donald Trump.
A spokesman told Fox News the state’s nursing home deaths weren’t caused by infected patients but by infected staff members who weren’t aware they’d been exposed to the coronavirus. He even cited a study by the New York state Department of Health that said so.
It might seem obvious that a New York state Department of Health report absolving the New York state Department of Health of responsibility for thousands of deaths might be suspect, and even The Associated Press found a reason to ask suspicious questions about the Cuomo administration’s whitewash.
But that kind of criticism of the Democrat has been rare among a mainstream media that has fawned over the governor for months, while in a state of war with the Trump administration that’s almost four years old. To the liberal media, the coronavirus crisis is just a front in that war — and Cuomo is one of their allies.
Fortunately, for the sane part of the country and the Republican Party he’s helping to lead, Dan Crenshaw has been seeing the whole situation clearly.
Clearer than the mainstream media ever will.

westernjournal--2020-07-16--President Trump Lists 42 Horrifying Things Joe Biden Would Do as President

The number 42 .
It ’ s Jackie Robinson ’ s uniform number , now retired all across the big leagues .
The geekier among us will know it as the answer to life , the universe and everything .
And for Donald Trump , it ’ s the number of horrifying things Joe Biden will end up doing as president .
During a media conference on Tuesday , Trump laid out a panoply of catastrophic errors he said the Democratic Party ’ s presidential nominee would make were he to get into the White House , including putting an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bail and ripping down the border wall .
Trump made most of these remarks in the White House Rose Garden before opening up the floor for questions , which made some in the establishment media a bit unhappy : TRENDING : Victor Davis Hanson : Millions of NFL Fans Are About To Shrug and Change the Channel Actually , Trump was pretty much giving a solid preview of what you could expect from a Biden presidency .
Is Jim Acosta insinuating he didn ’ t like it ?
Over at Breitbart , Charlie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 42 things that could be pulled from the news conference : • • Abolish immigration detention .
No more detention .
You come in here illegally , no more detention .
• Expand asylum for all new illegal aliens .
• Cancel all asylum cooperation agreements with Honduras , Guatemala , with El Salvador .
• Taxpayer-funded lawyers will be given to all illegal aliens .
• Provide taxpayer subsidies and welfare for illegal aliens and new immigrants .
• Sign new immigrants up for welfare immediately .
• End requirement for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
• Abolish law enforcement as we know it .
• Mandate net-zero carbon emissions for homes , offices , and all new buildings by 2030 .
• Mandate zero carbon emissions from power plants by 2035 .
• Mandate all 500,000 school buses and all 3 million government vehicles be changed to zero-emission vehicles within five years .
• Oppose 14 million Americans with education savings accounts and get rid of school choice , having to do with school choice .
• They ’ re going to rip down the wall .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hardly be a surprise from Biden .
In fact , if he didn ’ t completely scrap the travel bans Trump has tried to implement since the beginning of his term , that would actually be the shocker .
Other travel bans , however , should probably last a little bit longer .
If Biden were president , Trump said , “ we would ’ ve had thousands of people additionally die if we let people come in from heavily infected China .
But we stopped it ; we did a travel ban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the streets of Chinatown in San Francisco a month later , and even later than that , and others too .
They all thought what I did was a terrible mistake.
” Also , if Biden didn ’ t rejoin the Paris climate agreement , it ’ s because he forgot .
And yes , yes , that ’ s not out of the question ; that joke ’ s about as old as the Borscht Belt comedians who told it back when Biden was in his 40s .
“ There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than school choice , ” Trump said .
“ And mothers and fathers are going to be very happy to see him be defeated just on that alone : End school choice .
So … Joe Biden wants to end school choice.
” RELATED : Portland Mayor Blames DHS for Violence in His City , Demands Agents Clean Up Rioters ' Graffiti But don ’ t take my word for it .
Take the word of Joe Biden , who says he opposes vouchers : “ No bail .
Just , we let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Look at what ’ s happened to New York : Crime is up , shootings are up at numbers that nobody ’ s ever seen before .
Look at Chicago .
What a disaster .
And we ’ re waiting for them to call us because we ’ re all set to go .
We have the FBI .
We have Homeland Security .
We have everybody ready to go .
We have the National Guard .
They ’ re all ready to go .
End cash bail , releasing dangerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
New York just did that .
Other places have done it .
They haven ’ t turned out to good.
” But again , don ’ t take Donald Trump ’ s characterization of Joe Biden .
Take the Biden campaign ’ s own : “ Cash bail is the modern-day debtors ’ prison , ” Biden ’ s website reads as of Thursday morning .
“ The cash bail system incarcerates people who are presumed innocent .
And , it disproportionately harms low-income individuals .
Biden will lead a national effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pretrial system by putting in place , instead , a system that is fair and does not inject further discrimination or bias into the process.
” “ Everybody gets amnesty .
Mass amnesty .
Think of that .
And this says : Create a roadmap to citizenship for massive , massive numbers , ” Trump said .
While Biden ’ s “ amnesty ” wouldn ’ t involve making illegal immigrants citizens by the stroke of a pen , it would create “ a ‘ roadmap to citizenship ’ for nearly 11 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ July 8 Washington Times report .
“ Those who ’ ve been working illegally in essential services during the coronavirus pandemic would get fast-tracked.
” The roadmap was part of the Biden/Bernie unity platform , which also hit on a few more parts of the 42-point list : “ The platform calls for an immediate 100-day halt to all deportations , and would unleash an army of overseers to police the way the Border Patrol and ICE ’ s deportation officers enforce immigration policy .
A special eye would be paid toward the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” The Times reported .
And this isn ’ t even mentioning how Biden would handle the economy — the one thing that Trump had in his favor before COVID-19 and the one thing on his resume that would give voters confidence he ’ d be a good post-coronavirus president .
“ Joe Biden is pushing a platform that would demolish the U.S. economy — totally demolish it , ” Trump said .
If you want to spot all 42 , here ’ s your chance .
It ’ ll take a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We ’ ve long talked about how Barack Obama wanted to “ fundamentally change ” America .
Compared to Biden , he ’ ll have been a moderate reformer .
Some of the items on this list are debatable .
Some aren ’ t surprises .
All of them are reasons why conservatives should realize there ’ s a lot more at stake this fall than just Trump v. Biden .

The number 42. It’s Jackie Robinson’s uniform number, now retired all across the big leagues. The geekier among us will know it as the answer to life, the universe and everything. And for Donald Trump, it’s the number of horrifying things Joe Biden will end up doing as president.
During a media conference on Tuesday, Trump laid out a panoply of catastrophic errors he said the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee would make were he to get into the White House, including putting an end to all deportations, ending cash bail and ripping down the border wall.
Trump made most of these remarks in the White House Rose Garden before opening up the floor for questions, which made some in the establishment media a bit unhappy:
Trump soiled the WH Rose Garden with that performance. Presidents do not use the Rose Garden in that kind of naked political fashion. That was not a press conference, as the WH described it. It was a campaign rally disguised as a press conference. It was a bait and switch. — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) July 14, 2020
Actually, Trump was pretty much giving a solid preview of what you could expect from a Biden presidency. Is Jim Acosta insinuating he didn’t like it?
Over at Breitbart, Charlie Spiering came up with a quick list of 42 things that could be pulled from the news conference:
Abolish immigration detention. No more detention. You come in here illegally, no more detention. Stop all deportation. End prosecution of illegal border crossers. Support the deadly sanctuary cities. Incentivize illegal-alien child smuggling. Expand asylum for all new illegal aliens. Cancel all asylum cooperation agreements with Honduras, Guatemala, with El Salvador. Taxpayer-funded lawyers will be given to all illegal aliens. Abolish immigration enforcement against illegal workers. Restore Catch and Release policies for illegals. Grant work permits for illegal aliens. Provide taxpayer subsidies and welfare for illegal aliens and new immigrants. Federal Student Aid and free community college for illegal aliens. Sign new immigrants up for welfare immediately. End requirement for immigrants’ self-sufficiency and maximize their welfare. End all travel bans, including from jihadist regions. Grant mass amnesty. Vastly expand low-skilled immigration to the United States. Increase refugee admissions by 700 percent. Abolish law enforcement as we know it. End cash bail. Abolish completely the death penalty. Appoint social justice prosecutors in order to free violent criminals. End mandatory minimums. Incentivize prison closure. End solitary confinement. Free federal housing for former inmates. Rejoin Paris Climate Accord. Mandate net-zero carbon emissions for homes, offices, and all new buildings by 2030. Mandate zero carbon emissions from power plants by 2035. Mandate net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Mandate all 500,000 school buses and all 3 million government vehicles be changed to zero-emission vehicles within five years. Install 500,000 taxpayer-funded charging stations nationwide. End school choice. End tax credit scholarships serving disadvantaged students in 26 states Oppose 14 million Americans with education savings accounts and get rid of school choice, having to do with school choice. Eliminate school choice in Washington, D.C. Abolish all charter schools. Ban funding for charter schools in poor neighborhoods. Abolish educational standards. Abolish the suburbs with AFFH regulations. They’re going to rip down the wall.
Now, some of these moves would hardly be a surprise from Biden. In fact, if he didn’t completely scrap the travel bans Trump has tried to implement since the beginning of his term, that would actually be the shocker.
Will Joe Biden defeat President Trump in November? Yes No

Other travel bans, however, should probably last a little bit longer.
If Biden were president, Trump said, “we would’ve had thousands of people additionally die if we let people come in from heavily infected China. But we stopped it; we did a travel ban in January. Nancy Pelosi was dancing on the streets of Chinatown in San Francisco a month later, and even later than that, and others too. They all thought what I did was a terrible mistake.”
Also, if Biden didn’t rejoin the Paris climate agreement, it’s because he forgot. And yes, yes, that’s not out of the question; that joke’s about as old as the Borscht Belt comedians who told it back when Biden was in his 40s.
As for school choice?
“There is nothing that the African-American community wants more than school choice,” Trump said. “And mothers and fathers are going to be very happy to see him be defeated just on that alone: End school choice. So … Joe Biden wants to end school choice.”
But don’t take my word for it. Take the word of Joe Biden, who says he opposes vouchers:
When we divert public funds to private schools, we undermine the entire public education system. We’ve got to prioritize investing in our public schools, so every kid in America gets a fair shot. That’s why I oppose vouchers. #Espinoza — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 23, 2020
Ending cash bail?
“No bail. Just, we let you right out,” Trump said.
“Look at what’s happened to New York: Crime is up, shootings are up at numbers that nobody’s ever seen before. Look at Chicago. What a disaster. And we’re waiting for them to call us because we’re all set to go. We have the FBI. We have Homeland Security. We have everybody ready to go. We have the National Guard. They’re all ready to go. End cash bail, releasing dangerous criminals onto our streets. Cash bail. New York just did that. Other places have done it. They haven’t turned out to good.”
But again, don’t take Donald Trump’s characterization of Joe Biden. Take the Biden campaign’s own: “Cash bail is the modern-day debtors’ prison,” Biden’s website reads as of Thursday morning.
“The cash bail system incarcerates people who are presumed innocent. And, it disproportionately harms low-income individuals. Biden will lead a national effort to end cash bail and reform our pretrial system by putting in place, instead, a system that is fair and does not inject further discrimination or bias into the process.”
Mass amnesty?
“Everybody gets amnesty. Mass amnesty. Think of that. And this says: Create a roadmap to citizenship for massive, massive numbers,” Trump said.
While Biden’s “amnesty” wouldn’t involve making illegal immigrants citizens by the stroke of a pen, it would create “a ‘roadmap to citizenship’ for nearly 11 million illegal immigrants,” according to a July 8 Washington Times report.
“Those who’ve been working illegally in essential services during the coronavirus pandemic would get fast-tracked.”
The roadmap was part of the Biden/Bernie unity platform, which also hit on a few more parts of the 42-point list: “The platform calls for an immediate 100-day halt to all deportations, and would unleash an army of overseers to police the way the Border Patrol and ICE’s deportation officers enforce immigration policy. A special eye would be paid toward the ‘racial underpinnings’ of Trump policies,” The Times reported.
And this isn’t even mentioning how Biden would handle the economy — the one thing that Trump had in his favor before COVID-19 and the one thing on his resume that would give voters confidence he’d be a good post-coronavirus president.
“Joe Biden is pushing a platform that would demolish the U.S. economy — totally demolish it,” Trump said.
If you want to spot all 42, here’s your chance. It’ll take a while:
The point is this: We’ve long talked about how Barack Obama wanted to “fundamentally change” America.
Compared to Biden, he’ll have been a moderate reformer.
Some of the items on this list are debatable. Some aren’t surprises.
All of them are reasons why conservatives should realize there’s a lot more at stake this fall than just Trump v. Biden.

Accidents happen , especially in a sport like NASCAR where sheer speed is important .
Bumpers can get clipped , pit crews can miss something in their haste and garage door pull ropes can be mistaken for nooses .
Given that Bubba Wallace Jr. , NASCAR ’ s only black driver , personally experienced that “ noose ” mistake , you ’ d think he would be a bit more understanding when it comes to accidents .

The All-Star Open is the race that immediately precedes the actual All-Star Race , and some drivers can use the former to qualify for the latter .

His car was totaled , he didn ’ t finish the All-Star Open , he couldn ’ t compete in the All-Star Race proper and he ’ s missing out on the chance for that race ’ s $ 1 million purse .
What ’ s not nearly as understandable is how Wallace felt compelled to mock the faith of Michael McDowell , the driver who clipped him .
“ Oh , just disrespect .

Wallace responded with a message to “the next generation and little ones following my foot steps.”
