AOC vows to push Biden to far left if elected, says Democrats should abandon 'this idea of bipartisanship'

AOC vows to push Biden to far left if elected , says Democrats should abandon 'this idea of bipartisanship' 'And @ @ @ @ @ job to push the Democratic Party ?
Absolutely '

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) promised Sunday that if Joe Biden wins election, she will push him to become even more liberal.
What did she say?
Speaking with CNN host Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," Ocasio-Cortez explained why she will hold Biden's feet to the far-left progressive fire if he becomes president.
"Frankly, I think it would be a privilege and it would be a luxury for us to be talking about what we would lobby the next Democratic — and how we will push the next Democratic administration. But, in terms of my role, I believe that that has been my role," she said. "And my role is consistent, in making sure that we push the Democratic Party to have a larger vision for our future."
She continued, "And, so, is my job to push the Democratic Party? Absolutely. And that has been my job since and that has been a part of my role since I have been elected."
According to Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Party has the opportunity to win the Senate, White House, and maintain their majority in the House — and they have an "obligation" to demonstrate the liberal agenda.
In fact, Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats should move away from "this idea of bipartisanship."
She explained:
If we have an opportunity, if we work hard enough to elect folks like Jaime Harrison, to make sure that we protect seats like Gary Peters', and to make sure that we unseat Republicans like Joni Ernst, and we have the unique, frankly, once-in-a-generation opportunity to have the White House, the Senate, and the House majorities Democratically controlled, then I believe we have an obligation to the American people to show what a Democratic administration can actually accomplish, and that we can govern, and that we can truly have leaps in policy that people can feel in their everyday lives that makes voting Democratic worth — not just worthwhile, but a memorable shift from just a flatline of this idea of bipartisanship, which often just becomes Republican manipulation.
Ocasio-Cortez said the central goal of a Biden administration should be to implement a progressive vision.
"I believe that it's critically important that the Biden administration appoint progressive leaders," she said. "This is about making sure that we're not just going back to how things were and rewinding the tape before the Trump administration."
Anything else?
As Election Day nears, Ocasio-Cortez has publicly warmed to the idea of Biden becoming president.
During the Democratic primary, she ardently opposed Biden, supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders instead. But now, recognizing the circumstances, Ocasio-Cortez is galvanizing progressive Democrats to back Biden with the mindset that any Democrat is better than President Donald Trump.
"Young people right now have a very disciplined activist mindset. And they are not here with the intent of voting for their favorite person or voting for someone that they think is perfect as president," Ocasio-Cortez told Tapper.
"They want to vote for a president that is at least going to be receptive to their advocacy, activism and protest," she added. "There's no question that Joe Biden is a much better person in that position."

Joe Biden seems to forget he 's running against President Trump during softball interview : 'Four more years of George @ @ @ @ @ ' ' I honestly think he was referring to George Washington , ' one observer @

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had some more slow-pitch softballs lobbed at him during a virtual interview Sunday night conducted by comedian George Lopez and CNN analyst Ana Navarro.
There's a lotta love in the room
The hosts are bothvehementhaters of President Donald Trump — and they underscored that sentiment by wearing "Biden-Harris" T-shirts. Even Navarro's dog was wearing one.
Image source: YouTube screenshot
Certainly it must have been a comforting sight to the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, as they sat in their home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Getting things off to a fawning start was Navarro, who asked Jill Biden, "What is it that made you fall in love with Joe Biden?"
Yup, it seemed clear Navarro had zero interest in outdoing Lesley Stahl or Savannah Guthrie.
The mood now quite jovial, next up was Lopez with a question actually related to the election: "If someone is undecided or maybe thinking about not voting, why should they vote, and why should they vote for you?"
'Four more years of George, uh, George, uh, he, uh ...'
Biden then began talking, saying voting is imperative because it's "the most consequential election in a long, long, long time. And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot. What kind of country are we gonna be?"
Then came yet another apparent case of temporary amnesia for Biden: "Four more years of George, uh, George, uh, he, uh ..."
Jill Biden did a good job of holding it together, and Joe Biden seemed to find a way to weave back to the target, adding that we're going to "find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected ... we're gonna be in a different world."
Here's the clip:
Anna Navarro, George Lopez, Amy Schumer endorse & campaign for Joe Biden youtu.be
Which George was in his head?
Did Biden have former President George W. Bush in mind during the awkward moment? Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush? Or did the fact that the question came from Lopez — yet another George — cause confusion?
Commenters on the Trump War Room's tweet about the incident were full of observations:

'A miracle': Doctors said actor would live the rest of his life as a vegetable — if he survived at all. Now, he's starring in a new movie.

' A miracle ' : Doctors said actor would live the rest of his life as a vegetable — if @ @ @ @ @ Now , he 's starring in a new movie .
'They did the best thing @ @ @ @ @ they prayed '

Doctors weren't sure if Luke Benjamin Bernard would make it after a serious car accident in 2013 left him near death. Bernard suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, blood clots on his brain, and an emergency craniotomy and was ailing in the ICU amid a cloud of uncertainty.
Fast-forward to 2020, and Bernard has defied all expectations, telling "The Pure Flix Podcast" about his unlikely story of survival, his harrowing journey to recovery, and his starring role in "The Favorite," a movie now streaming on Pure Flix.
"Medically, you have almost no chance of survival," he said of his initial condition. "It would be a miracle if you lived in vegetative state — a miracle."
Listen to Bernard discuss his miraculous recovery:
Bernard had what medical experts call a GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) of 3 with dilated and fixed pupils, which generally yields a grim prognosis.
"The doctor ... told [my family], 'I can't tell you what's going to happen with him. You just need to get here right away,'" Bernard recalled, noting that it was clear he might not survive.
Despite facing the unthinkable, Bernard's family refused to give up, turning with fervency to faith and prayer.
"Basically, they did the best thing they could for me ... and the only thing they could have done was — they prayed," he said. "They read scriptures, they sang praise ... at my bedside again and again and again."
The grieving parents firmly believed God would heal their son, and they decided to combat the negative possibilities by intensely appealing to hope.
"[My dad's] mindset was, 'This is a fight — I'm in a fight right now for my son's life and Satan's trying to take my son and I'm not going to let it happen,'" he said, noting that their prayers weren't just for survival, but also for "complete healing."
And the Bernard family got their wish. Against all odds, he fully recovered, and they now attribute it all to God.
"It's just remarkable with God's grace and mercy, with his healing power over me," he said.
And that was only part of the story, as Bernard, who was an actor prior to his accident, later ended up writing and performing in "The Favorite," a touching new film about two rival brothers who face tragedy — a traumatic event that mirrors what happened to Bernard in real life.
The idea and plot line for "The Favorite" came to Bernard as he was recovering from his accident.

"One night I fell into this deep sleep and I had this very vivid dream ... a dream that you feel like you're really there," he recalled.
Bernard said he saw two brothers in that dream who had a car accident, with one of the men facing the same injuries, recovery, and healing that Bernard faced. The dream was so stirring that Bernard started writing what he saw, turning it into a script, and the rest is cinematic history.

Kamala Harris laughs nervously at suggestion that Biden 's a Trojan Horse for her socialistic policies

Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) appeared to laugh nervously and struggle to formulate an answer when asked about her far-left political views during a recent "60 Minutes" interview, which aired on Sunday.
What happened?
"You're very different, in the policies that you've supported in the past," CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell said to Harris about her policy differences with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
"You're considered the most liberal United States senator," O'Donnell stated bluntly, to which Harris replied, "I — somebody said that and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage," as she laughed uncomfortably.
"Yeah. Well, actually, the nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator," O'Donnell interjected. "You supported the Green New Deal; you supported Medicare for All; you've supported legalizing marijuana. Joe Biden doesn't support those things. So are you going to bring the policies — those progressive policies that you supported as senator — into a Biden administration?"
Harris countered by saying she has promised Biden she will always share with him her "lived experience" and "perspective" on any issues their potential administration may confront.
"And is that a socialist or progressive perspective?" O'Donnell asked.
"No. No," Harris answered, laughing even more uncomfortably than before. "It is the perspective of a woman who grew up a black child in America, who was also a prosecutor, who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from India. Who also, you know, likes hip-hop. Like, what do you want to know?"
At this point, O'Donnell plainly stated what it was she had been trying to get at with her previous questions.
"Well, I want to give you the opportunity to address this, because at the Republican National Convention, President Trump made the case that Joe Biden is gonna be nothing more than a Trojan horse for socialist policies for the left wing of the Democratic Party," she said. "Are you going to push those policies when you're vice president of the United States?"
Harris again countered with a vague answer, saying, "I am not going to be confined to Donald Trump's definition of who I or anybody else is. And I think America has learned that that would be a mistake."
Why does it matter?
Eventually, Harris came around to articulating that she would not have joined the ticket if she didn't support Biden's proposals, but it was arduous to get there.
The liberal senator's difficulty in fielding basic questions about her record likely did not do anything to assuage moderate Democratic voters who may be concerned about the party's progressive movement.
The Trump campaign has made it a point to to alert voters to the possibility that Harris may in fact be the guiding hand in a Biden administration, especially given Biden's age and questions regarding his mental and physical acuity.


theblaze--2020-10-26--Photos appear to show NFL wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins giving Trump supporters two middle fingers

Photos appear to show an NFL player giving Trump supporters the middle finger as he drove past in a sports car on Arizona's I-10 highway Sunday.
Multiple reports indicate that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, 28, appeared to flip off a miles-long caravan of Trump supporters as he drove past in his Ferrari on the way to State Farm Stadium for Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
According to KSAZ-TV, a caravan of people supporting President Donald Trump for re-election rallied that day on several Arizona highways, including I-17, Loop 101, 202, and I-10.
Hopkins was reportedly seen driving past the caravan, making obscene gestures along the way, around 1:30 p.m. According to the Arizona Republic, Hopkins was wearing a distinctive shirt that he was seen wearing when he arrived at the stadium later that afternoon.
Members of the pro-Trump caravan accused Hopkins of driving recklessly, speeding and swerving in and out of the caravan line.
"It's scary when they are coming up fast and swerving into you," April Garcia, one of the drivers in the caravan, said. She also noted other "intolerant" people threw water and other objects at the Trump supporters.
Others on social media called out Hopkins for his behavior.
So far neither the Cardinals nor the Arizona Department of Public Safety have released a statement about the incident, KSAZ reported.
The Cardinals beat the formerly undefeated Seahawks Sunday night 37-34. Hopkins, one of the NFL's best wide receivers, ended the game with 10 receptions for 103 yards, scoring one touchdown.
Hopkins is a vocal Black Lives Matter supporter and critic of President Trump.
In June, Hopkins starred in a video along with other NFL stars including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Cleveland Browns receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, and others condemning police brutality after the death of George Floyd.
"How many times do we need to ask you to listen to your players? What will it take? For one of us to be murdered by police brutality?" the players asked the league.
"I am George Floyd," Hopkins and the others said.
Back in 2018, Hopkins, then playing for the Houston Texans, said Trump is too "closed-minded" to understand the NFL national anthem protests.
"I think Trump is more closed-minded and he thinks the reason that we're kneeling is because of the flag," Hopkins told TMZ Sports. "When that's like not at all the reason we're kneeling. I kneeled last year and one of my best friends is a Purple Heart veteran and my uncle is a Purple Heart veteran and they understand that it's not about the flag."


theblaze--2020-10-26--Report: President Trump will 'immediately' fire FBI director, other senior gov't officials if he win

Report: President Trump will 'immediately' fire FBI director, other senior gov't officials if he wins re-election

Report : President Trump will 'immediately ' fire FBI director , other senior gov't officials if he wins re-election 'Advisers @ @ @ @ @ wait until after the election '

If President Donald Trump wins re-election next month, he will move to "immediately" dismiss at least three senior government officials, according to a new report from Axios.
The three officials include FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
What are the details?
According to Axios, Wray will be first on the chopping block.
Two sources who reportedly have discussed the plans personally with Trump told Axios that Wray and Haspel are "despised and distrusted almost universally in Trump's inner circle." One source told Axios that Trump would have fired both officials already, but did not want to instigate another political headache before Election Day.
Trump is reportedly angry that Wray has not opened an investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, which have come under intense scrutiny this month after the New York Post obtained a hard drive that reportedly belonged to Hunter Biden. According to Axios, Trump was also angry when Wray told Congress last month that he has not seen evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly angry that Haspel has opposed declassifying documents that would aid U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.
"The view of Haspel in the West Wing is that she still sees her job as manipulating people and outcomes, the way she must have when she was working assets in the field," one source told Axios. "It's bred a lot of suspicion of her motives."
Another source, however, said Haspel is considering leaving her post "regardless of who wins the election."
And as for Esper, Trump was reportedly not happy with the defense secretary for not supporting a plan to send active-duty military units into American streets as a response to the racial unrest that plagued cities nationwide in the early summer.
Anything else?
Fox News confirmed that Wray likely will be fired if Trump wins re-election.
"Advisers have consistently told POTUS to wait until after the election if he wants to replace Wray," a senior administration official told Fox News.
The same official rebuffed news that Haspel's relationship with the president has soured.
"Haspel isn't going anywhere, " the official told Fox News. "POTUS has a good relationship with her."
Regarding Esper, the administration official told Fox News that Esper was also on his way out, although it remains to be seen whether Esper will resign or Trump will fire him.
It is not yet clear who might succeed Wray, Haspel, or Esper.


theblaze--2020-10-26--Horowitz: Why is Deborah Birx pushing lockdown on behalf of this administration?

Horowitz : Why is Deborah Birx pushing lockdown on behalf of this administration ?
Why does she continue to pressure @ @ @ @ @ that the president himself has already rejected ?

One thing is certain if Joe Biden wins the election: There will be intractable pressure put on states to impose lockdown policies on the citizenry. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris keep promising to pressure the states to maintain strict mask mandates indefinitely. But unfortunately, those policies are already being promoted under this administration by Dr. Deborah Birx. The vexing question of the day is how — and why — she continues to pressure governors to impose failed policies that the president himself has already rejected.
Every week, White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx picks a new state to terrorize with her panic pornography. While Dr. Fauci is the more notorious face of lockdown panic policies in the media, Birx is traveling the country demanding that states follow Joe Biden's policies.
On Saturday, Birx visited local health officials in Rochester, Minnesota, to warn them of rising cases. Minnesota has a liberal governor who has promoted restrictions and mask-wearing as strongly as anywhere in the country, yet the fact is lost on Birx that her own policies have failed to stop the spread. She claimed that the early cold weather drove people indoors and is causing the virus to spread in recent weeks. Well, given that Minnesota has a mask mandate, why should that matter? Ooops, I forgot, masks actually don't work.
"We can see the increase in cases coming and continuing unrelentingly unless together as a community of individuals we do things we know will stop the spread of this virus," said Birx.
So, what exactly are the things "we know" will stop the spread? What has ever worked anywhere in the world to stop the natural progression of a respiratory virus that has taken over the flu for this year?
In comes Birx with the maniacal idea of mass testing for asymptomatic individuals. "What we're asking people is to empower their communities by coming forward even when you don't have symptoms to get tested," she said.
Earlier this month, she said in Rhode Island that "asymptomatic, silent spread in the community" is driving the pandemic (at the 4:30 mark).
First, this is not a new idea. We are testing around 1 million people a day, nearly as many as we test for the flu in an entire flu season. It's not stopping the spread. Isn't it time to take ownership for the results?
Moreover, the president just said that we need to stop using "cases" that are overwhelmingly mild (and frequently asymptomatic) as pretext to shut down our lives. Why is she opposing the president's position? There is no fourth branch of government headed by Birx.
Birx, just like Biden, is trying to avoid using the word lockdown, but the idea that we are going to test every person in this country and have super-sensitive tests — rather than symptoms and hospitalizations — driving our policies is a recipe for shutting down every aspect of life. When asymptomatic individuals are included, this virus will likely target a large share of the 330 million people in the country. Remember, there is a lot of academic literature suggesting that a large chunk of the country gets the flu asymptomatically every year, possibly accounting for as many as 50% of those infected. There is nothing new about this virus. Were we to randomly test everyone for the flu every day and propose lockdowns in response, we would never survive as a civilization.
The reality is that despite all the hype and fear surrounding asymptomatic spread, every study that has actually examined transmission has failed to discover widespread asymptomatic transmission that could account for a meaningful percentage of community spread. A contact tracing study of 3,410 close contacts of 391 SARS-CoV-2 cases in a Chinese province near Wuhan during the peak months of the virus found that transmissibility seems to increase commensurately with the severity of symptoms presented by the infected individual. Of the 127 secondary infections that were traced to the original 3,410 cases, just eight were from individuals confirmed as asymptomatic.
The World Health Organization said in May that asymptomatic spread was "very rare." Then, like any time a major scientific figure reveals the truth, the WHO suddenly recanted that position when the media raised a howl.
A U.S.-based study from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Department of Biostatistics, observed similar low rates of transmission among the asymptomatic. Researchers found symptomatic individuals transmitted the virus at rates 28 times higher than asymptomatic individuals. Another Chinese study from May found very weak transmission capability among asymptomatic infections.
Early on, when he was still motivated more by science than politics, Dr. Fauci said emphatically, "Even if there is some asymptomatic transmission, in all the history of respiratory viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. He added that "the driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person."
According to Birx, not only would combating coronavirus necessitate endless lockdowns, but we'd never be able to function even after COVID-19 is eradicated. Given that this virus, especially in recent months, has a fatality rate close to that of the flu, if this is the new threshold for civilization lockdown and government control, then we'd have to do the same for the flu. Taking her position to its logical conclusion, given the pervasiveness of asymptomatic flu, you could be killing elderly people every single year and not even realizing it. And unlike with COVID-19, kids are actually strong vectors for the spread of the flu. Schools would be closed all year and kids perpetually kept away from adults unless they test every day during flu season.
The perplexing question is why is Dr. Birx is still able to tour the country as a Trump administration official and propagate panic that directly conflicts with the espoused views of her boss.
The tragic reality is that focusing on universal lockdowns and testing of the healthy hasn't helped save a single life, even as it has destroyed millions of lives from collateral damage. Nobody contextualized this insanity better than the left-leaning Daily Beast. While noting Italy's strong second wave of cases, the outlet observed that "the country has done everything experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have been advising." These ideas include the following: "Face masks in public places have been compulsory for months, social distancing is strongly enforced, nightclubs have never reopened, and sporting arenas are at less than a third of capacity. Children who are back at school are regularly tested and strictly social-distanced, and yet, the second wave seems completely unstoppable."
In other words, after destroying a generation's mental and emotional health, they have nothing to show for it but a spreading virus. Yet shockingly, Dr. Birx said in August, "I wish that when we went into lockdown, we looked like Italy." She extolled Italy's totalitarian policies of ensuring that "people weren't allowed out of their houses."
Sadly, while our lockdown wasn't as bad as Italy's, it still needlessly prolonged the epidemic and killed a great many people.
Indeed, the results of Fauci in this country are terrible. It's enough that we have to endure his ego because of his past reputation, but do we really need to be ruled by this no-name attention seeker who sits on the board of Bill Gates' Global Fund?
The president has been moving in a better direction ever since he brought on Dr. Scott Atlas. But if he wins a second term, he must speak consistently with one voice. Unless there is a policy shake-up, Birx will continue to promote Biden's worldview even after he is defeated.

Hillary Clinton still fuming : ' I was born ' to be president ; it makes me 'literally sick to @ @ @ @ @ of another Trump win

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is apparently still fuming over her loss to President Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
During a recent appearance on Kara Swisher's New York Times Opinion podcast, "Sway," the former secretary of state alleged that she was "born" to be president and that it literally makes her "sick" to her stomach to think of another Trump win.
What did she say?
At one point during the lengthy interview, Swisher asked Clinton if she thought a woman president would handle the coronavirus pandemic more ably.
Clinton quickly responded by tooting her own horn, saying, "I have no doubt, especially if it were me."
I was born for that. I mean, that's why I knew I'd be a good president. I was ready for crises and emergencies, and I would have done what you see these women leaders doing. You listen to the science. You bring in people in an open, inclusive way. You communicate constantly, you make the case by explaining why what you're doing is in the long-term interests, not only of health, but also, of the economy. Yeah, I have no doubt in my mind at all that I would have stepped up to that crisis.
Later in the interview, when the topic of Trump's re-election chances came up, Clinton jumped in, saying, "I can't entertain the idea of him winning."
"It would cause cognitive dissonance of a grave degree," she said before adding that even thinking about a potential Trump win would also make her physically ill.
It makes me literally sick to my stomach to think that we'd have four more years of this abuse and destruction of our institutions, and damaging of our norms and our values, and lessening of our leadership, and the list goes on. But there's no doubt that he would do everything he could to attack and punish anyone who was, in his view, an adversary ...
... I don't think he has any boundaries at all, Kara. I don't think he has any conscience. He's obviously not a moral, truthful man. So he will do whatever he can to lift himself up. And remember, as I said, he lives with this specter of illegitimacy. He knows more about how he got really elected than we still do. Hopefully, we'll learn more in the years ahead.
Clinton, who has since endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden, last year reportedly considered running for president again in 2020. Clinton has had a difficult time getting over her 2016 loss, allegedly thinking about a rematch with Trump "all the time."
What else?
Yet despite exuding obvious bitterness about the result of the election four years ago — even alleging that it was illegitimate — Clinton wanted listeners to know that it's Trump, not her, who remains plagued by the outcome.
"Well, I think I live rent-free in his head," she said. "He does not live rent-free in my head, because I have very little regard for him."
But Clinton seemed sure that, this time around, Biden would do what she couldn't do and seal an Electoral College win over Trump. Part of the reason for that, she said, is that "most Republicans are going to want to close the page" on the Trump era.
"They have been cowards, spineless enablers of him," she added. "They want to see him gone as much as we do, but they can't say it publicly."

before they detained him

A passenger in a rapper's vehicle was arrested Saturday on weapon charges after being accused of pointing a gun at a person amid a rally supporting President Donald Trump in Beverly Hills, California.
What are the details?
Beverly Hills police said they received a report just after 5 p.m. of an individual saying someone in a vehicle pointed a gun at him near South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Beverly Drive — and that he took note of the license plate. A vehicle with a matching plate was stopped after driving past the pro-Trump rally, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The vehicle's driver was rapper Offset, the Times said. Offset is the husband of famed singer Cardi B, known far and wide for the sexually charged song "WAP," which glorifies woman as prostitutes.
Offset recorded part of the interaction with police on Instagram Live.
"You just watched somebody beat my car up with a flag!" Offset tells an officer who repeatedly asks him to shut off the vehicle. But Offset insists on keeping his hands on the steering wheel and threatens to sue cops.
"Y'all know who I am?" he asks police.
Soon officers unlock the driver-side door and pull Offset out. Here's the clip. (Content warning: Language):
What happened next?
Offset was released after questioning, the Times said. But passenger Marcelo Almanzar, 20, was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded firearm in public, police said. Almanzar remained behind bars in lieu of $35,000 bail, the paper said, citing jail records.
There were multiple reports that Offset was arrested, but police denied those accusations.
Almanzar is reportedly a cousin of Cardi B, who also arrived at the scene at one point, the Times said, citing videos posted to social media.
The individual who told police a gun was pointed at him declined to press charges for that, police said.
'Aggressive Trump supporters'
An Offset publicist, Derrian Perry, told the paper in a statement that the rapper was detained "following an attack by aggressive Trump supporters."
BET, citing videos posted to Twitter, said just prior to the police stop, Offset and Cardi B. were seen making their way through a crowd where several people were waving Trump flags.
"Offset thanks his fans for their support and wishes everyone peace and safety during these trying times," the statement added, according to the Times. "He encourages everyone to get out and vote because nothing changes if nothing changes."
The paper also reported that Offset's representatives emphasized he was not the aggressor and that he complied despite having guns drawn on him and receiving conflicting directions from police.
"Offset's current focus is encouraging younger voters to get to the polls in order to keep incidents like this from continuously happening," a representative said, according to the Times.
Police estimated that more than 2,500 people attended the pro-Trump rally.

Despite having sold himself as a "moderate" Democrat for decades, Biden has consistently shown that his views on globalism and America's place in the world are far from mainstream.
This argument is best proven by examining Biden's close ties to the World Economic Forum, which is now pushing for a remarkably troubling "Great Reset" of capitalism, and the many statements Biden has made over the past several years echoing Great Reset ideology.
The Great Reset movement has been widely adopted by numerous world leaders, including the head of the United Nations, Prince Charles, the International Monetary Fund, international trade unions, and CEOs of major corporations.
Using the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change as the justifications for a fundamental transformation of the world's economy, the Great Reset movement aims to destroy modern capitalism and replace it with a system that embraces numerous left-wing social programs, such as basic income systems and the Green New Deal, as well as force all corporations around the world to adopt leftist social justice causes.
In an article published on the World Economic Forum's website, WEF founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab — who is spearheading much of the Great Reset movement globally — wrote that "the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions."
"Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed," Schwab also wrote. "In short, we need a 'Great Reset' of capitalism."
Schwab and other supporters of the Great Reset blame many of the world's problems on the perceived failure of the existing "social contract" and what they call "shareholder capitalism" — the current economic system in much of the Western world.
Under "shareholder capitalism," individuals can buy shares of companies, which are then expected to produce goods and services they can sell to customers for a profit. (Sounds terrible, I know!)
Although Biden, to my knowledge, has never been asked directly about whether he supports the Great Reset, he has made numerous comments echoing similar talking points. For example, in July, Biden called for the end of the "era of shareholder capitalism."
Additionally, just like the World Economic Forum and supporters of the Great Reset, Biden has said government should use the coronavirus pandemic as a justification to "rewrite the social contract" of the United States.
Biden's "Build Back Better" plans also come straight out of the Great Reset movement's playbook. For many years, supporters of the Great Reset at the World Economic Forum and elsewhere have talked about "building back better" by dramatically expanding the power of government, pursuing costly "green" infrastructure plans, and substantially increasing the authority of international institutions.
Biden's proposals would do just that, and the "Build Back Better" name is just too similar to what others affiliated with the Great Reset movement and/or the World Economic Forum have said to be a mere coincidence.
For example, in 2016, a development specialist at the World Bank, discussing climate change-related natural disasters, wrote for the WEF, "The pressure for governments now is not to wait until a disaster strikes to 'build back better.' Instead, the urgent need is to build better now, and to thoroughly assess current risks to industrial infrastructure."
In May 2020, the World Economic Forum posted to its website an article titled "'Building Back Better' — Here's How We Can Navigate the Risks We Face After COVID-19," in which the writer argued, "We have looked at ways to 'build back better' and it's very clear that investing in greener economies is going to be a huge part of recovery efforts."
On July 13, 2020, less than a week after Biden called for an "end to the era of shareholder capitalism" while promoting his own "Build Back Better" plan, the World Economic Forum published a piece titled "To Build Back Better, We Must Reinvent Capitalism. Here's How."
And these examples are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many others showing the WEF using the "build back better" slogan prior to and following Biden's release of his Build Back Better policy proposals.
Biden also has close ties to numerous Great Reset advocates and leaders at the World Economic Forum, where Biden has on multiple occasions delivered keynote addresses.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry — the co-chair of Joe Biden's climate change "Unity Taskforce" and a man many believe could serve in Biden's administration — has publicly backed the Great Reset and called for reforms to the American "social contract."
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has been named to Biden's transition team, is a member of the WEF's Forum of Young Global Leaders. Buttigieg's climate policy adviser, David Victor, is affiliated with the World Economic Forum and authored in June 2020 a lengthy article for Yale University titled "Building Back Better: Why Europe Must Lead a Global Green Recovery."
Further, Biden has close relationships with at least three World Economic Forum board members who support, to varying degrees, the Great Reset platform: Al Gore, David Rubenstein, and Laurence Fink, the chairman and CEO of BlackRock, whom many Democratic donors have reportedly pushed to be Biden's choice for treasury secretary.
Additionally, WEF board member and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is a longtime supporter of Kamala Harris, Biden's 2020 running mate.
More evidence of Biden's intimate relationship with Great Reset advocates can be found in the launch of the Biden Institute, which is based at the University of Delaware. In 2017, when the Biden Institute first started, Biden said he wanted to model some of the new organization's activities after the World Economic Forum, and he even met with the WEF's leader and the world's biggest advocate of the Great Reset, Klaus Schwab, to help develop a plan for the future of the Institute.
Taken together, Biden's policy plans, campaign messaging, and connections with key Great Reset figures seem to point toward a very troubling conclusion: Joe Biden is likely an advocate of the radical Great Reset, a proposal that, if enacted, would completely overhaul the world's economy in favor of more collectivism and the centralization of power in the hands of international elites.
That might sound unbelievable, but when there's smoke, there's almost always fire.


theblaze--2020-10-26--Biden cuts off reporter, lashes out when confronted with question about Hunter Biden controversy

Biden cuts off reporter , lashes out when confronted with question about Hunter Biden controversy

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was confronted about the Hunter Biden email controversy over the weekend, and the former vice president responded by once again snapping at the reporter who questioned him.
Biden was first questioned about the growing controversy by CBS News campaign reporter Bo Erickson just days after it began. At the time, Biden responded by calling the story a "smear campaign" before scolding Erickson for questioning him.
"I knew you'd ask it. I have no response, it's another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask," Biden said.
What happened this time?
During a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Saturday, a reporter attempted to ask Biden about the story — but Biden cut off the reporter, lashing out before the reporter could even finish his question.
"There is no controversy about my son," Biden claimed. "It's all a lie. It's a flat lie because the president has nothing else to run on. If you noticed, while the American people are talking about what's happening to their families, he has no plan, and at the debate, he has no plan. Everything from the Wall Street Journal, every other major news outlet has said what he's saying is simply not true about my son."
"But it's classic Trump, classic Trump," Biden continued. "Because he doesn't want to talk about how manufacturing has gone into recession, how our economy's in a hole, how we're approaching a bleak winter. It's estimated 200,000 more people will die of COVID if we don't act more rapidly in terms of dealing with rational basis of social distancing, wearing masks, etc."
"And what's he do? He's going around the country holding these great spreaders of more virus," Biden added. "So, he has nothing to say. Think about it: What is his plan for the next four years, except more of the same? Failure."
Despite calling the stories a "lie," neither Biden nor his campaign have pushed back against the material facts asserted in the Hunter Biden email stories.
Meanwhile, Democrats maintain the stories are part of a Russian propaganda campaign meant to disrupt the election. However, top intelligence officials have rebuffed such claims.
In fact, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe revealed last Monday that there is no evidence to support Democrats' claims.
"Let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that, because there's no intelligence that supports that, and we have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden's laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign — it's simply not true," Ratcliffe said.
As TheBlaze reported, the Justice Department and FBI concur with Ratcliffe's assessment: The Hunter Biden stories are not Russian propaganda.

Newark mayor imposes curfew amid coronavirus spike , prompting some residents to worry about second shutdown

Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark, New Jersey, announced on Monday that nonessential businesses across the city would be required to close by 8 p.m. local time beginning on Tuesday.
What are the details?
According to WCBS-TV, Baraka said that the move is due to a sharp spike in COVID-19 cases in Newark residents.
"Even though Newark's population accounts for a third of Essex County, Mayor Ras Baraka tweeted that the number of COVID cases there is more than every other city in Essex County combined," the station reported.
Indeed, Baraka took to Twitter with the dire statistic on Sunday, writing, "Today Newark had more COVID-19 cases than every other city in Essex County combined! We are witnessing a serious spike and tomorrow we will begin taking serious measures. Wear your mask!"
Baraka announced the new curfew during a Monday press conference as the station reported that the city's East Ward has a startlingly high positivity rate — more than 25 percent.
In his announcement, Baraka also canceled all sports activities and recreation facilities.
According to the station, "All stores must close by 8 p.m., except supermarkets, pharmacies, and gas stations. Restaurants and bars must close indoor service by 8 p.m., outdoor service by 11 p.m."
Further, barbershops and beauty salons must now conduct business on an appointment-only basis.
"Large gatherings are still happening," he said, "and restaurants and indoor places have to be strict with the numbers that they're allowing [to come in]."
Baraka added that all residents must strictly follow social distancing and business capacity measures.
'People are gonna struggle'
One Newark resident told the station that he is concerned about COVID-19, but also about the impact another shutdown will cause for residents.
"We're taking it real serious," Jose Olaya said. "I've lost family to COVID. ... [A] lot of people are going to have no jobs again. People are gonna struggle a little bit again."
Dr. Shereef Elnahal, who is president and CEO of University Hospital Newark, said that the second wave has arrived in the city.
"The mayor is right to sound the alarm," Elnahal said. "We're now at almost 20 hospitalizations, which is a sharp increase just from last week. We have a community clinic positivity rate approaching 6%, past our 5% threshold for beginning our surge plan."
Elnahal added that larger gatherings are dangerous.
"We're concerned that an increasing number of indoor gathering and large gatherings in general at people's homes are contributing to this," he added.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said that a statewide lockdown may take place if conditions persist.
"If we can't get a hold of this thing, that's probably something that, as a consideration, is going to have to become more meaningful," he said.

Police investigating viral video showing a man pointing a gun at anti-Trump protesters in Washington state

Trump protesters said that he had been hit with a bucket of dirty water

Police are investigating a heated incident in Washington state during a pro-Trump protest and a counterprotest where a man pulled a gun after allegedly being assaulted.
Video of the altercation appeared on Tik Tok and quickly went viral. It was recorded at a pro-Trump demonstration where anti-Trump protesters showed up in the city of Woodinville.
The video shows a man in a Trump cap pointing his gun at protesters while yelling at them and then other Trump supporters drag him away.
Witnesses admit that the man was assaulted before they were able to record on their cellphones. They said that someone came up and splashed him with dirty water from a bucket, and then tossed the bucket at him.
"He threw like this bucket of dirty water on one of the Trump supporters," Mandy Luttinen said to KING 5 News.
Luttinen said she immediately jumped in between the man and the other protesters, many of whom were teenagers.
"There wasn't a lot of thinking. I've been in a couple tense situations and you do act more than you think," she explained. "It was just like, don't let the kids get hurt."
A Trump supporter told KING 5 that he knew the man who pulled the gun and said that he was a military veteran who served in Afghanistan. He added that the counterprotesters were yelling at them, saying they were racists despite the fact that many of the supporters were not white.
"We don't embrace acts of violence," he said.
Police still investigating
Woodinville police are still trying to sort out exactly how things spiraled out of control.
"We're not really sure of what's happened at this point," said Woodinville Police Chief Kathleen Larson.
"There are two sides to every story, and in this particular case, in this video, we don't see what precipitated the man pulling out his firearm, and he was assaulted prior to that," she added.
Here's the video of the alarming incident:

Muslims around the world are boycotting France after President Macron refuses to condemn cartoons of Muhammed

Muslims around the world are calling for a boycott of products made in France after the president said he would affirm free speech rights of his citizens, including that of depictions of the Islamic religious figure Muhammed.
The clash in cultures came after Samuel Paty, a French teacher, was beheaded by a Muslim immigrant after he showed controversial cartoons of the Islamic figure to his students near Paris.
The killing sparked protests by French citizens defending free speech but also a boycott by Muslims who are demanding French President Emmanuel Macron denounce the cartoons.
Some took to social media to show support for the boycott of French products.
One restaurant in Kuwait reportedly invited customers to step on images of Macron to show their disrespect for him and the country of France.
Macron declared at a ceremony for the murdered teacher that France would not denounce the controversial cartoons despite the anger expressed by Muslims.
"He was killed because Islamists want our future," Macron said. "They will never have it."
Law enforcement officials took 15 people into custody over the murder of the teacher, and they have performed dozens of raids of suspected Islamist extremists in the country, according to the BBC. Investigators said that Paty had told Muslim students that they could leave the classroom if they felt that they would be offended by the cartoons.
On Monday, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League Mohammed al-Issa said that Muslims were not against free speech but against hatred.
"We are not against legitimate freedoms, but we are against employing those freedoms for material gain, undermining their value," said al-Issa to Al Arabiya.
"We are also against the consequential spread of hatred and racism," he added.
Al-Issa went on to say that insulting Muhammed should not be tolerated, even as free speech.
News video from Kuwait showed that grocery stores were clearing their shelves of French products in support of the worldwide boycott.

Amy Coney Barrett sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas in White House ceremony ' I pledge to you and to @ @ @ @ @ will discharge my duties to the very best of my ability . '

Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in as the newest justice of the U.S. Supreme Court by its longest-serving member, Justice Clarence Thomas, on Monday night, less than two hours after she was confirmed to the high court by the U.S. Senate.
The Senate confirmed the nomination of Barrett by a vote of 52-48.
What are the details?
President Donald Trump praised his third successful nominee to the Supreme Court in a speech, telling his audience on the South Lawn of the White House that Barrett "is one of our nation's most brilliant legal scholars, and she will make an outstanding justice on the highest court in our land."
After thanking a number of Republican leaders who were influential in moving forward Barrett's nomination, the president also acknowledged Barrett's husband, Jesse, who was in attendance. Trump then recognized the Barretts' seven children, who watched the ceremony from their home in Indiana, saying the kids had "become very, very popular in this nation."
"I speak to everyone when I say that the Barrett family has captured America's heart," he added. "It is highly fitting that Justice Barrett fills the seat of a true pioneer for women, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
The president noted that Barrett, 48, is the fifth woman to serve on the Supreme Court, and the first mother of school-age children to be confirmed.
Justice Thomas administered the Constitutional Oath to Barrett before the crowd of 200 following the president's speech. Chief Justice John Roberts is slated to administer the Judicial Oath to the newest associated justice on Tuesday, after which she will be able to begin her work in the lifetime position.
After being sworn in at the White House, Barrett took to the lectern, thanking the cheering audience, the president, and the Senate, saying, "I thank you for the confidence you have expressed in me, and I pledge to you and to the American people that I will discharge my duties to the very best of my ability."

How did the Democrats respond?
Several congressional Democrats vowed reform and revenge immediately following Barrett's confirmation, after the minority party in the Senate failed to stop Republicans from pressing forward with Trump's latest nominee ahead of Election Day.
Far-left progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) led calls on Twitter to "expand the court."
Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) declared, "Today Republicans denied the will of the American people by confirming a Supreme Court justice through an illegitimate process — all in their effort to gut the Affordable Care Act and strip health care from millions with pre-existing conditions. We won't forget this."

Update:
Police were able to locate the baby, who was identified as Jaylen Mojica, after issuing a community alert. He had been described as an "endangered missing person" in the alert but few other details were divulged.
Original story:
A Chicago mother was horrified to find that her car was stolen with her 7-month-old baby inside. Police later found the car without the baby miles away.
The alarming incident unfolded Monday in the Marquette Park neighborhood in Chicago.
The 30-year-old woman left the car and the baby boy unattended at about 12:46 p.m., with the car ignition on. She walked into a convenience store and when she walked back the car was gone.
The car was a silver Honda CR-V and was found abandoned hours later in a neighborhood about nine miles away.
The car was found near an alley and a small playground park.
A witness told WBBM-TV that she heard the woman screaming after the abduction.
"I just heard a young lady hollering about somebody took her car with her baby in it," the witness said. "And it's really scary that you can't leave your car and somebody just jumps right in."
Police dogs are being used to help try to locate the missing baby.
Reporter Charlie De Mar of WBBM noted that police had not activated an Amber Alert for the child.
The mother of the child is working with the police to find her baby. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 312-747-8380.
According to the Polly Klaas Foundation, the vast majority of missing children cases are runaways who are eventually found or reunited with their families. A small proportion, about 3%, are cases where the child has been kidnapped by a family member or someone familiar to the child. Less than 1% of those cases are kidnappings by a complete stranger previously unknown to the child.
Here's a local news report about the abduction:


theblaze--2020-10-28--Daily Beast embarrasses itself with entirely false story on court packing

Daily Beast embarrasses itself with entirely false story on court packing The outlet apparently took the word of a co-host @ @ @ @

The Daily Beast published a completely false story on Tuesday in an attempt to slam a former New York Times columnist, apparently taking the word of a co-host from "The View" in pushing Democrats' newly manufactured definition of court packing.
What are the details?
Daily Beast senior writer Matt Wilstein wrote an article titled, "'The View's' Sunny Hostin Schools Bari Weiss on 'Court Packing.'" But it wasn't Hostin who did the schooling. In fact, Weiss is the one who gave "The View's" entire panel a lesson.
Wilstein did not explain what court packing is for The Daily Beast's readership, so TheBlaze reminds everyone that the term "court packing" goes back to when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D) attempted to add justices to the high court in order to push through his agenda after the Supreme Court had determined parts of his New Deal were unconstitutional.
The concept of adding justices is considered highly controversial. In fact, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the past called Roosevelt's attempt to pack the Supreme Court "a bonehead idea" that "put in question" the Supreme Court "for an entire decade." Biden now refuses to say whether he will make the same move if he wins the White House.
During "The View" episode, Hostin, a legal analyst, argued, "We all know the Republican Party has been packing the Supreme Court for decades. They've been packing the judiciary for decades. [President Donald] Trump has put now three justices on the Supreme Court and just dozens and dozens of judges on the federal judiciary. So I think what we're going to see is perhaps the Democrats unpacking the Supreme Court so that there's more of a balance."
Weiss explained, "Packing the Court is about adding more justices to the bench, which is something that people like [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)] and [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-Minn.] are advocating for. Packing the court doesn't mean appointing justices that some people don't like."
"I think where the conversation is right now, is about whether or not the Democrats — if they win the Senate and if Joe Biden wins — if they're going to fundamentally change the nature of the court as Roosevelt once tried to do," Weiss continued, noting that the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also voiced opposition to packing the court last year when she told NPR that "nine is a good number."
Weiss went on to call out Biden for refusing to "stand up to the left-wing flank of his party."
"The fact that he has refused on the record to say whether or not he will pack the court I think is very suspicious to some people, and the fact that journalists aren't forcing him to ask that essential question ... is pretty ridiculous as far as I'm concerned," Weiss said.
Hostin insists new definition of court packing means 'balancing'
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg tried to provide cover for Hostin by stepping in and saying the legal analyst was referring to lower courts being packed. But Hostin stood firm, correcting Goldberg and saying, "I was talking about the Supreme Court."
Hostin insisted this new definition of court packing actually meant "balancing" out the court for Democrats, pointing to a Newsweek article from another legal expert who also completely ignored where the term came from and what it means.
She explained to Goldberg:
"I was in particular talking about the Supreme Court being packed and I used those words very specifically. In order to unpack the Supreme Court, meaning unpack the culture, unpack the values that are on the Supreme Court—in order to do that you would have to add either term limits, age limits, or you would have to add justices, which would then balance the Supreme Court, which would lead to an unpacking."
But Weiss was right. She and Hostin sparred over whether or not Biden should provide an answer on whether or not he would add justices, but Weiss was certainly not schooled, and she maintained the same opinion of others in the media, such as CNN's Jake Tapper, who have said Biden should tell voters his plans on the issue before Election Day.
The Daily Beast failed to show Weiss was wrong
Not only did The Daily Beast article fail to explain court packing, it failed to show any evidence of how Weiss was wrong or "schooled," and folks on social media took notice.
In response to the outlet's Twitter post of the story, one person wrote, "When I first heard of the new rhetorical strategy to make up a new definition for court-packing I thought 'there is absolutely no way anyone is stupid enough to buy this.' I was wrong. Daily beast writers and readers are stupid enough to buy it. Fair enough."
Another responded, "Makes the case for Civics Education in schools. And apparently, a badly needed requirement for snarky Daily Beast boys."
Someone else added, "Here's the thing-- the lingo that Hostin is using is WRONG. Bari Weiss is describing it correctly. 'Packing' means adding more judges to the court. 'Un-Packing' doesn't mean anything. It's sad that he uses it as an opportunity to smear @bariweiss for getting it right."
Someone else concluded, "Yeah.... Saw the segment. @bariweiss was correct. Perhaps you guys should change the title to your article. Sunny Hostin perhaps should go back and get 'schooled' on using terms with correct definitions. She looked foolish for it."

Two sisters allegedly stabbed a Chicago store employee 27 times after he told them to wear masks and use hand @

Chicago police say that two sisters held down a store employee and stabbed him 27 times after he told them to wear masks and use hand sanitizer provided by the business.
The startling incident unfolded on Sunday at Snipes, an athletic clothing store, in the North Lawndale neighborhood.
Police allege that 21-year-old Jessica Hill and her sister 18-year-old Jayla Hill entered the store at about 6 p.m. and were asked to put on masks and apply hand sanitizer over the coronavirus pandemic.
The two refused and began to argue with the 32-year-old man, according to police spokeswoman Karie James.
James says that the altercation became violent when one of the sisters punched the employee in the chest, and then Jayla Hill grabbed him by the hair as Jessica Hill stabbed him.
The man was stabbed 27 times in the chest, back and arms, and was later sent to Mount Sinai Hospital. Police say the sisters also struck him with a trash can and kicked him as he fell down.
The two women were arrested at the scene and treated for minor lacerations.
Prosecutors say that surveillance video and statements from witnesses show that the victim did not provoke the attack by striking or pushing the women.
The victim was hospitalized and received treatment, prosecutors said, noting he did have puncture wounds "all over his body," WTTW-TV reported. Another report said the man was in critical condition.
The women were charged with attempted murder and held without bond. A defense lawyer for the two women said in court that they had never been in trouble with the law, and were planning to attend college.
Cook County Judge Mary Catherine Marubio said she initially believed it was a domestic violence incident because of the unusual number of stab wounds.
"It's the complete randomness of this," Marubio said. "That's terrifying for a community."
Here's a local news report about the incident:

Joe Biden says much of the protest violence is a 'cry for justice ' in speech to supporters The tone-deaf @ @ @ @ @ of violence erupts in Philadelphia

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden told supporters that much of the protest violence was a "cry for justice," even as protests were starting up for a second day in Philadelphia.
Biden was speaking to supporters Tuesday at a voter mobilization event in Atlanta when he made the comments.
"A season of protest has broken out all across the nation!" Biden said.
"Protesting though, is not burning and looting. Violence can never be a tactic or tolerated, and it won't, but much of it is a cry for justice from a community that has long had the knees of injustice on their necks," he added.
"The names of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake will not soon be forgotten, not by me, not by us, not by this country," Biden continued. "Folks, we're going to inspire a new wave of justice in America."
Biden appeared to confuse the case of Jacob Blake, who was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but survived, with the other two cases of lethal police shootings.
In contrast to Biden's statement, President Donald Trump has been forceful in his opposition to the goals and narratives of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In August, the president blasted "Democrat-run cities" for not opposing violent protests enough and said that greater force should be used against "thugs" in contrast to peaceful "friendly protesters."
Philadelphia erupts in protest
Biden's comments might not be welcome among those suffering in the violent rioting in Philadelphia after 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr., a black man who was shot and killed by police Monday afternoon when he reportedly charged at them with a knife.
The neighborhood community erupted after startling video of the deadly encounter went viral on social media. The violence quickly escalated out of control in many parts of the city on Monday.
Police cars were set on fire and officers were assaulted as the crowds swelled. Video posted to social media showed police retreating as crowds attacked them. At least 30 people were arrested on the first night of the violence.
Here's the video of Biden's comments:

"60 Minutes" correspondent Norah O'Donnell pressed Sen. Kamala Harris on her reputation of being considered "the most liberal United States senator."
In this clip, Pat Gray discussed the interview, and how O'Donnell pushed Harris about being a socialist.
"As we've said multiple times, [Kamala Harris] is the most liberal person, the most progressive senator we had in all of the Senate," Pat said, "including Bernie Sanders, including Elizabeth Warren."
O'Donnell sought clarification on whether Harris would support the policies of running mate, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Harris noted that Biden did not share her support for socialist policies, including the Green New Deal and legalizing marijuana.
"Are going to bring those progressive policies — that you supported as senator — into a Biden administration," O'Donnell asked.
In Harris' response, she claimed part of a deal she made with Biden was to share her lived experience and give an honest perspective on policy matters.
"And is that a socialist or progressive perspective?" O'Donnell asked.
Harris said she would not bring a socialist perspective to the table. Harris added that she would not have joined the Democratic ticket if she didn't support Biden's vision for America.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," has broken the record for the highest-rated monthly viewership in the history of cable news, drawing in an average nightly audience of nearly 5.4 million, according to Nielsen Media Research ratings for October.
What are the details?
The Washington Examiner reported that the program, which airs at 8 p.m. EST, "averaged 5,359,000 viewers nightly, including 1,003,000 in the key 25-54 age demographic that marketers covet," according to the Nielsen ratings, noting that "while the total ratings made cable news history, [Carlson] also became the first prime-time host to reach 1 million viewers in the 25-54 demo since September 2008."
Fox News also broke a ratings record. According to TheWrap, "the network delivered the highest primetime averages in cable news history, too."
But Carlson was not the only Fox News host to put eye-popping numbers on the board for this month.
Fox News pointed out that fellow primetime hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham also saw staggering viewership, reporting that "'Hannity' finished with its highest-rated month across both categories since the program launched in 2009," and "'The Ingraham Angle' also made cable news history, finishing as the most-watched female host in history."
Fox News further noted that it "finished with its second highest-rated total day viewership in the history of cable news, coming only behind its own coverage of the Iraq War in April 2003. With the victory, FNC has now beaten MSNBC and CNN in both total day and primetime viewership for 226-straight months."
Anything else?
Tuesday's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" show is slated to feature Tony Bobulinski, who says he is a former business partner of Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Bobulinski claims to have in-depth knowledge and documented evidence of the explosive allegations linking Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to foreign deals involving his son, which were first reported by the New York Post and dismissed by several mainstream outlets.
Carlson tweeted Tuesday afternoon, "Tony Bobulinski says he met with Joe Biden about China. The media have suppressed the story, but it's real and it matters. Voters have a right to know the details."
President Donald Trump's oldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., wrote in response, "Eight words that the corrupt partners of the Chinese Communist Party over at Joe Biden's campaign are dreading: 'Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight.'"

Trump campaign official confronts Chris Cuomo for giving his governor brother a pass on coronavirus in combative interview '' You @ @ @ @ @ the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Hour ''

The communications director for the Trump 2020 campaign slapped down CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on his own show for going easy on his governor brother on the coronavirus in a combative interview on Monday.
Tim Murtaugh confronted Cuomo and cited an interview where he joked with his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, while the coronavirus ravaged New York City.
"Your own brother, the governor of New York said that every time he turned to the administration, the federal government was there with everything that he needed, and with everything that he asked for," Murtaugh said.
"He did not say that, and that is not what happened," Cuomo replied.
"Yes, he absolutely did, every time, yes!" interjected Murtaugh.
"No," said Cuomo. "He said I went to the federal government, they helped me with things, they did not help with everything, they're still not helping."
"Your brother..." interrupted Murtaugh.
"My brother what? Keep talking about it," said Cuomo, visibly upset at the line of questioning.
Murtaugh went on to remind Cuomo about how his brother falsely predicted a vast shortage of ventilators in New York City that would lead to many deaths. Cuomo tersely admitted that was true.
"You're gonna ask me these self-righteous and talk about people taking it seriously, does this look like a couple of guys who were taking it seriously?" Murtaugh asked and then held up an image from Cuomo's show where he held up a large Q-Tip cotton swab as a joke.
"You had your brother on for the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Hour, joking about the size of the Q-Tip that you would need for his nose to take the test," Murtaugh said.
"Yeah, I did. It was funny as hell," responded Cuomo defensively.
"Does this sound like somebody who is taking it seriously?" added Murtaugh.
"Now, you took your swing," said Cuomo later on in the interview. "It missed. So now let's discuss. Is that all you got? That my brother didn't take COVID seriously? Are you kidding yourself? That I made fun with him at a time of such acute distress?"
Murtaugh went on to call out Cuomo for a report that said he had broken quarantine after he had tested positive for the coronavirus, and mocked him for the CNN show where viewers watched him come up from his quarantine in the basement living quarters.
"And you came home and you pretended to rise up from your basement, like Lazarus, even though you had already broken quarantine while you were COVID positive!" said Murtaugh.
Cuomo accused Murtaugh of mocking him for getting sick and denied ever breaking quarantine. He apparently doesn't remember the confrontation with a bicyclist while looking at some undeveloped property he had recently purchased.
Here's part of the fiery interview with Murtaugh on CNN:

Washington Post's lefty writer Dana Milbank says only John Roberts can save the Supreme Court — and he'd better do it ... or else

Washington Post 's lefty writer Dana Milbank says only John Roberts can save the Supreme Court — and he 'd @ @ @ @ @ else Wants the chief justice to 'lean ' on Amy Coney Barrett to recuse herself

Since the moment Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed, the American left has been in panic over the makeup of the court.
When President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left after Ginsburg's death, the cries became more shrill.
Now that the Senate has confirmed Barrett to the high court and she is firmly ensconced on the bench, the left has increased their threats to pack the court by any means — including nuking the filibuster in the Senate — and find whatever ways they can to rein in a conservative court.
The New York Times even ran a special feature on "How to Fix the Supreme Court." It included creating a new court, term limits for justices, preventing the court from choosing its cases, increasing the threats to pack the court, actually packing the courts, and expanding the lower courts.
But one famous liberal writer is pretty sure he knows exactly who needs to come to the rescue: Chief Justice John Roberts.
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank's column Monday night declared, "It's up to John Roberts to save his court."
What did Milbank say?
After recounting and lamenting what he called the "pell-mell scramble" to get Barrett on the court, the liberal Milbank said Barrett's confirmation "shreds whatever remained of the high court's integrity and independence" — even though Barrett has yet to hear, much less rule on, a single case.
No matter, though, for Milbank. Only Roberts can save the U.S. now.
So, how should he do it? Milbank has ideas:
● Play the heavy.
He can lean heavily on Barrett to recuse herself from any case arising from the presidential election next week.
● Save Obamacare like he did before.
He can use his influence to make sure the court upholds the Affordable Care Act after it hears arguments next month — not a legalistic punt on technical matters of “severability" but a ruling that puts an end to the constant assaults on Obamacare.
● Reject religious freedom when it clashes with Obergefell.
He can persuade his conservative colleagues to join him in upholding the rights of LGBTQ Americans as established in the 2015 Obergefell case, by rejecting a challenge to it by Catholic Social Services that will be argued the morning after the election next week.
● Make Trump hand over his financial records.
He can forge a majority to reject Trump's latest tired attempt to use the Supreme Court to further delay handing over his financial records to New York prosecutors.
● Uphold Roe at any cost.
And he and his colleagues can agree to hear one of the many challenges to Roe v. Wade now making their way through lower courts — and vote to uphold Roe for now. That would be the surest sign that the Roberts Court is not going to turn (immediately at least) into the reactionary caricature that most expect.
If Roberts can't get the conservatives on the court to back the Milbank agenda, then, according to the writer, "they can count on being joined next year by a whole batch of new colleagues" nominated by President Joe Biden.

Mike Lee, furious, calls on fellow senator to take back the 'worst' thing any Democrat has said about Amy Coney Barrett

Mike Lee , furious , calls on fellow senator to take back the 'worst ' thing any Democrat has said @ @ @ @ @ all the irresponsible and inflammatory statements I 've heard over the last few weeks , @ @ @ @ @ doozies , this might well be the worst '

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) lambasted one of his Democratic colleagues Tuesday for calling the originalist judicial philosophy racist, sexist and homophobic.
Ahead of the Senate vote confirming Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court Monday, Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) bashed Barrett's originalist judicial philosophy on Twitter, accusing originalism of being "just a fancy word for discrimination."
Markey, who is up for reelection this year, also demanded that the Senate abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.
Lee, in an interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," said Markey's comments were "patently irresponsible" in a rare show of anger.
"Of all the irresponsible and inflammatory statements I've heard over the last few weeks, and I've heard some doozies, this might well be the worst," Lee said.
"If you think about what he is really saying there, Senator Markey has essentially said that our Constitution is racist. And an effort to understand it, understand its words at the time they were written, is itself racist and bigoted. I can't think of a statement that has a greater tendency to undermine the foundation of our constitutional republic. I hope, expect, and demand that Sen. Markey retract his statement. It's irresponsible; he can't defend that," Lee said.
Watch:
Earlier in the interview, Lee said he attended the swearing-in ceremony for Justice Barrett.
"It was a fantastic moment," Lee said, praising President Trump for nominating her.
"This was the SCOTUS trifecta that he managed to pull off, in his first term alone having put three justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. That doesn't happen very often, and I'm glad it did, and I think he might well have saved the best for last, Justice Barrett is going to be terrific."
Going on to explain why he supports Barrett's originalist philosophy, Lee said the reason she is "making the heads of Democrats explode everywhere" is because "they don't want the courts to be limited to judging institutions. They want them to be institutions of social change, of social policy, they want them to take debatable matters beyond debate.
"They want something much bigger, much grander than what the Constitution actually allows. Justice Barrett sees the elegant simplicity of the fact that you want judges to interpret the law based on what it says," he continued.
Responding to Democratic calls to pack the Supreme Court, Lee said such an effort is "threatening serious damage to the judicial independence of the Supreme Court."

President thanks 'anonymous tree climber ' who puts Trump 2020 flags where only rabid leftists would dare go to steal @

Leftists stealing and vandalizing all manner of campaign materials for President Donald Trump — signs, flags, hats, you name it — is a phenomenon that never seems to let up.
It is, after all, an emotional issue for them:
So when Trump heard that his campaign signs were being stolen in Lufkin, Texas, and that an "anonymous tree climber" replaced them by putting 30 Trump 2020 flags in spots where only ultra-devoted leftists would venture to rip them off, the president was appreciative.
Here's what Trump tweeted Tuesday:
"Love it, thank you!" he added.
U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) tweeted that he "took this picture in Lufkin & sent it to [White House Chief of Staff] Mark Meadows this morning. Pure East Texas can do ingenuity! Now the world has seen it. Gotta love it."
Who's behind the Trump flags atop trees?
KIII-TV called attention to a Facebook page created to promote the so-called "Flag Fairy" of Angelina County:
"The Flag Ninja of Angelina County strikes again!!" one Facebook user wrote. "It's not every day that I get a call that says 'Trump and his posse complete with secret service and limo will be at this secret location to hoist an American Flag and spread some patriotic pride... you in?' I. AM. IN!!!!! What a fun way to start my week!"
Additional photos in the above Facebook post indeed show a tree climber dressed in a Trump costume and carrying a Trump campaign flag with pole — and using ropes and harnesses to hoist himself atop a tree.
How are folks reacting?
While Trump's tweet attracted its share of nasty reactions, many commenters were happy about the turn of events:
"Brilliant. Love how patriots never give up. There's always a way!!" one commenter wrote.
"Oh my word!!!! Have you ever seen this kind of support for a president??? Something is happening," another commenter noted.
"This is great! Can't you just hear the 'Come and take it?!'" another user exclaimed.
And, of course, there was the familiar Lone Star State battle cry:

Transgender activist with male genitalia files human rights complaint after being rejected by a female-only beauty pageant The activist is @ @ @ @ @ dignity and feelings '

A Canadian transgender activist has filed a human rights complaint against Canada Galaxy Pageants after not being selected by the female-only pageant because she still has male genitalia.
What are the details?
Jessica Yaniv, formerly known as Jonathan Yaniv, filed the complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario this week alleging "discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression and sex, in violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code," according to a news release from the Justice Centre, which is providing legal counsel to the pageant.
Yaniv is reportedly seeking $10,000 in damages for "injury to dignity and feelings" and is requesting the tribunal rule that no organization can turn someone away solely because they have male genitalia.
But according to the Justice Centre, Yaniv, a "serial complainant," was intentionally dishonest, failing to disclose to the pageant that she still had male genitalia at the time of her application.
Here's more from the news release:
Yaniv has male genitals and was born a biological male, but now self-identifies as female. In May 2019, Yaniv applied to be a contestant in the Pageant, and was tentatively accepted. Yaniv did not mention being transgender prior to applying. At the time, Canada Galaxy Pageants had a formal policy of accepting genetic females as contestants, but would still accept transgender females who had fully transitioned and no longer had male genitals. This policy was noted in all paperwork and on the website. The pageant's policy has since been revised to include "genetic females and fully transitioned."
Furthermore, the pageant's reported policy at the time specifically excluded contestants with male genitalia since the contestants — which can include girls as young as 6 years old — share a common changing room. Not even contestants' fathers are allowed in the room, much less strangers with male anatomy.
"Biological women and girls must continue to have the freedom to associate with other biological women and girls in activities that serve their unique interests and needs as females," said Allison Kindle Pejovic, a staff lawyer with the Justice Centre. "Further, this beauty pageant has already made reasonable accommodations for fully transitioned transgender females without male genitals.
"It is imperative that biological women and girls, and fully transitioned transgender females, have safe, secure female-only places where they won't have to worry about seeing male genitals, or having individuals with male genitals looking at them," she added.
What else?
This is not the first time Yaniv has made headlines for making outrageous human rights complaints.
Last July, she filed 16 human rights complaints against salon workers in Canada who refused to wax her male genitals. Then in December, she raised another stink after being refused service at a gynecology office.

theblaze--2020-10-27--His record 'speaks for itself': Jason Whitlock on why President Trump is gaining with black voters

His record 'speaks for itself ' : Jason Whitlock on why President Trump is gaining with black voters The 'façade @ @ @ @ @ a racist 'just does n't ring true '

In the final days before the 2020 election, President Donald Trump is gaining among black voters, particularly men, because his record of accomplishments "speaks for itself" and the "façade" that President Trump is a racist "just doesn't ring true," argued sports columnist Jason Whitlock on "The Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday.
Jason, who recently interviewed the president at the White House for OutKick.com, shared his thoughts on why he believes many black Americans — notably celebrities such as Kanye West and Ice Cube — are breaking from the "façade" that President Trump is a "flaming racist."
"I really believe the facts are starting to speak for themselves, and that Donald Trump's record of accomplishments, particularly as it relates to African Americans, speaks for itself," Jason told Glenn. "He actually has a record to stand on, unlike even Barack Obama. When [Obama] was president, I don't think he had much of a record to stand on, in terms of, 'Hey, what did he actually deliver for African Americans?' President Trump has things he can stand on and, you know, beyond that I think black people understand when he starts talking about black unemployment rate. And America's unemployment rate. And then, when you add in for black men, the façade we've been putting on [President Trump] … you know, this whole thing that he's some flaming racist, it just doesn't ring true."
Jason suggested that Trump's fearlessness, unabashed masculinity, and record of keeping his promises resonates with men in the black community. He also weighed in on how media and social media's bias plays a huge role in convincing people to hate President Trump while ignoring Antifa and others on the Left.
"I keep explaining to people, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, they're some of the most secular places on earth. And we've reduced everyone to a tweet, that we disagree with," he added.

Justice Kavanaugh accused of helping Trump 'steal the election' after SCOTUS rejects Wisconsin mail-in ballot extension

Justice Kavanaugh accused of helping Trump 'steal the election ' after SCOTUS rejects Wisconsin mail-in ballot extension The left is @ @ @ @ @

Justice Brett Kavanaugh is being accused of paving the way for President Donald Trump to "steal the election" after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected an effort by Wisconsin Democrats to have mail-in absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day counted even if they arrive after the election.
In a 5-3 decision, the court ruled that absentee ballots in Wisconsin could only be counted if they were in the possession of election clerks by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. State Democrats attempted to have the deadline for counting absentee ballots extended a full six days after Election Day, CNBC reports. They argued the extension was necessary due to the surge in mail-in voting caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month, District Court Judge William Conley agreed with the Democrats' arguments, ordering the deadline to be extended. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Conley's decision in October and Democrats appealed the case to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court ruled against the Democrats. Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for himself and joined in part by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, said that the Constitution gives elected legislators the power to set election rules and that judges cannot overstep the separation of powers when the Legislature fails to act.
"Legislators can be held accountable by the people for the rules they write or fail to write; typically, judges cannot," Gorsuch wrote. "Legislatures make policy and bring to bear the collective wisdom of the whole people when they do, while courts dispense the judgment of only a single person or a handful."
In his concurring opinion, Kavanaugh said that while he understands the concerns over COVID-19, "you need deadlines to hold elections — there is just no wishing away or getting around that fundamental point. And Wisconsin's deadline is the same as that in 30 other States and is a reasonable deadline given all the circumstances."
"Moving a deadline would not prevent ballots from arriving after the newly minted deadline any more than moving first base would mean no more close plays," he added.
Kavanaugh's concurring opinion has been cited by critics on the left as evidence he wants to help Trump "steal the election" by discounting mail-in votes.
"Brett Kavanaugh Lays Out a Plan to Help Trump Steal the Election" reads one headline at Mother Jones, while "Brett Kavanaugh Signals He's Open to Stealing the Election for Trump" is a piece by Mark Joseph Stern for Slate. These articles accuse Kavanaugh's "frankly terrifying" opinion (Stern's words) of echoing Trump's rhetoric opposing mail-in voting in one passage wherein Kavanaugh defends states that have statutes similar to a Wisconsin law that disqualifies ballots received after Election Day:
Those States want to avoid the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of an election. And those States also want to be able to definitively announce the results of the election on election night, or as soon as possible thereafter.
"It is genuinely alarming that the justice cast these aspersions on late-arriving ballots," Stern writes.
Another area of Kavanaugh's opinion that's under attack is a footnote where he positively cites Chief Justice William Rehnquist's opinion in Bush v. Gore on why federal courts should step in to review state court interpretations of state election laws that affect federal elections, such as presidential election.
"Whatever the reasons behind Kavanaugh's performance on Monday, he has given the nation another legitimate reason to fear that this election may end with a Bush v. Gore–like disaster for American democracy, but even worse than the original," he concludes.
A CNN report on Kavanaugh's opinion shares a similar premise with the headline "Brett Kavanaugh foreshadows how Supreme Court could disrupt vote counting," suggesting that Wisconsin following state election law would disrupt the election. Another article for USA Today also suggests Kavanaugh is "echoing Trump."
President Trump has frequently criticized mail-in voting, predicting that fully counting votes could take months after the election and suggesting "mail ballots are very dangerous for this country because of cheaters. They go collect them. They are fraudulent in many cases. They have to vote. They should have voter ID, by the way."

Left-wing celeb Sarah Silverman warns against cancel culture: Progressives need to offer 'path to redemption' and stop engaging in 'righteousness porn'

Left-wing celeb Sarah Silverman warns against cancel culture : Progressives need to offer 'path to redemption ' and stop engaging @ @ @ @ @ left going to wake up ?

The progressive cancel culture has been on a tear in recent years.
Left-wingers have repeatedly attempted to end the careers of any celebrity (or would-be celebrity) or politician or faith leader who not only says things the radical left opposes but refuses to toe the liberal line on policies, politics, and culture. For example, look at the attempt to take down Christian megastar actor Chris Pratt when he declined being part of a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
But there's at least one member of the liberal progressive crowd who is coming out in opposition to cancel culture: comedian and actress Sarah Silverman.
What did she say?
In a recent episode of her new podcast, Silverman lamented progressives' penchant for attacking someone over a tweet or statement from years before and demanding the "person should be no more, banish them forever."
The comedian noted that people who are rejected are going to find someplace where they can find love or acceptance.
She went on to tell fellow liberals that they need to offer a "path to redemption" or risk losing people forever as they seek a tribe that will embrace them.
"In this cancel culture, and we all know what I'm talking about," Silverman said, "whether you think there is one or there isn't one or where you stand on it — and there's a lot of gray matter [sic] there — but without a path to redemption, when you take someone, you found a tweet they wrote seven years ago or a thing that they said, and you expose it and you say, 'This person should be no more, banish them forever.' They're going to find someplace where they are accepted.
"And it's not going to be with progressives," she warned. "Which ironically means to be changed, progress."
For the left, this should be concerning, she said, because that means people will be going to the "motherf***ing dark side."
She blasted fellow progressives for wanting to "point to ourselves as right and them as wrong," labeling such actions and attitudes as a form of "righteousness porn."
"If we don't give these people a path to redemption, then they're going to go where they are accepted, which is the motherf***ing dark side," the comedian continued. "I think there should be some kind of path."
"Do we want people to be changed?" she asked. "Or do we want them to stay the same to freeze in a moment we found on internet from 12 years ago, and so we can point to ourselves as right and them as wrong?"
