This is corruption and it’s at all levels of the government of the USSA.

Trump Pushes Mask Wearing Propaganda: It’s “Patriotic”
The constant pushing of the coronavirus narrative in spite of facts or any real evidence should be alarming to everyone.
Many people know something is wrong even if they can’t pinpoint what it is, and yet, we still have the mainstream media trying to panic the public into wearing the muzzle face mask and living in fear.
This is probably not going to stop until everyone agrees to get the vaccine.
And if you don’t get the “non-mandatory” vaccine, those in power will make sure your life is inconvenient as possible (no going to the grocery store or traveling) unless you have it.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-24--Trump Now Parroting What Others Tell Him To Parrot

Despite a study posted on the National Institute of Health website declaring 5G as a inducting agent of coronavirus in human cells , Trump claimed the virus in the US will get worse before it gets better , according to the AP .
There is no doubt it will with the continued roll-outs , implementation , and usage of 5G in the US and abroad .
Now , with the information that 5G induces coronavirus production in human cells , why is there a need to wear a mask or to develop a vaccine ?
The same AP article has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mask or not , they have an impact , ” he said .
“ I ’ m getting used to the mask , ” he added , pulling one out after months of suggesting that mask-wearing was a political statement against him .
Swaths of the country are now battling rising infections and growing deaths , and some states are once again having to close businesses and rethink school in the fall .
Many retailers themselves are insisting their customers don masks .
For months , the nation ’ s top health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks in public and steer clear of crowds — calling those simple steps life-saving — even as the president ’ s stance fueled a partisan social divide .
Masks have an impact .
It is for certain masks do have an impact ; but , it isn ’ t protection from the coronavirus or influenza according to the warning label on the side of the mask box .
Masks have a negative impact on a person ’ s health .
The touting of wearing masks is definitely a political issue since the health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scientific method .
And , Trump who whined that mask-wearing was a political statement against him is now donning a mask .
Me thinks he doth protest too much .
Maybe Fauci , Birx , Redfield and Trump can all explain how a mask prevents a problem caused by technology .
Don ’ t hold your breath for an explanation since they are all peddling falsehoods for an agenda .
This entire train wreck can be credited to the man in the Oval Office who put the medical quacks on display , continually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the public to swallow hook , line , and sinker .
The “ nation ’ s top health experts ” ( rofl ) encourage mask-wearing and avoiding of crowds as riotous , violent , thieving mobs roam the streets of major cities without them while gathering together in groups of hundreds while local and State governments close churches .
Coronavirus only can be found in churches and lurking in the dark between 11 PM and 5 AM , in some cities that have imposed this curfew .
Can it get any more ridiculous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House aides have pressed Trump to grow more disciplined in his public statements about the pandemic .
On Tuesday , he steered clear of what has been a favored talking point : that widespread testing for the virus in the U.S. “ created ” more cases , as aides noted that was false and projected a lack of responsibility .
Little more than three months from Election Day , Trump and his political team hoped that the podium spotlight would give him an edge against Democratic rival Joe Biden .
“ The vaccines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming a lot sooner than anybody thought possible , ” Trump promised anew .
White House aides pressing Trump to “ grow more disciplined in his public statements about the pandemic ” is essentially code for “ you have to lie more to the American public ” .
Widespread testing and a change in what the “ government health agencies ” are counting as coronavirus cases has definitely “ created ” more cases , as well as the unreliability of the test itself .
It is irresponsible to say otherwise .
The AP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hoped all this “ podium spotlight ” would give him an edge over Biden .
As far left as the AP is known to be , there is something to be said for their assessment .
It follows the Hegelian Dialectic .
Right on cue , the be all end all of the coronavirus – the vaccine – is mentioned as coming sooner than thought possible .
A vaccine for a 5G electromagnetic field wave-induced coronavirus is coming .
A vaccine that will sidestep all the supposed safeguards that everyone knows hasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one medical treatment , vaccine or drug that can be touted as safe .
Why would you need a vaccine for a technologically induced problem ?
Get rid of the technology and you get rid of the problem .
It isn ’ t rocket science that high electromagnetic fields can cause humans to experience headaches , nausea , visual changes , disorientation , hallucinations ( auditory and visual ) , as well as a host of other ailments including but not limited to cancer .
Ghost hunters and electricians have known it for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doesn ’ t follow the agenda nor does it enrich Big Pharma and Bill Gates .
In fact , this information is all that is needed to counter the agenda should people pull their head out from where the sun doesn ’ t shine to read it .
As early as next week , the first possible U.S. vaccine is set to begin final-stage testing in a study of 30,000 people to see if it really is safe and effective .
A few other vaccines have begun smaller late-stage studies in other countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of huge studies are planned to start each month through fall in hopes of , eventually , having several vaccines to use .
Already , people can start signing up to volunteer for the different studies .
Health authorities warn there ’ s no guarantee — it ’ s not unusual for vaccines to fail during this critical testing step .
But vaccine makers and health officials are hopeful that at least one vaccine could prove to work by year ’ s end .
Companies already are taking the unusual step of brewing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mass vaccinations could begin if the Food and Drug Administration signs off .
So , the 30,000 guinea pigs are in a study to see if a vaccine “ really is safe and effective ” .
How about this – name one that is ?
There is no vaccine that is safe and effective .
Moreover , ingredients are added to these “ vaccines ” that one would classify as toxic sludge all together and as toxic additive if separate .
Let ’ s not forget the hundreds of thousands of individuals who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needle when accepting Gates ’ ghoulash of a vaccine .
You don ’ t even need to count the countless numbers of women in various African nations that have been rendered sterile because of “ Goody Gates ” .
Now , the government and Trump want you to take a shot in the arm for a problem caused by technology .
In what reality does this make sense ?
None .
Health authorities “ warn there ’ s no guarantee ” .
Well , duh .
Anyone in the medical profession who received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it could have told you there is no guarantee with anything .
That ’ s why it ’ s called the “ practice of medicine ” .
But , these health authorities are going to push a vaccine that is rushed through and will be useless against a condition caused by technology .
Not surprisingly , Fauci claims that the coronavirus will never be eradicated .
Of course , it won ’ t because of the use of 5G technology .
But , this is the perfect ruse for a “ mandatory ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medium for “ human tracking ” instruments to be placed in your body .
Remember , Trump designated Fauci as the “ authority ” on coronavirus despite Fauci never practicing medicine since his residency , only working in government agencies , only dealing with HIV/AIDS , stealing someone else ’ s work to pass it to his friend so his friend would get credit for the breakthrough in that disease , being wrong at every turn , lying to the public , refusing to disclose pertinent information publicly available on the NIH website @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US economy for a problem caused by technology .
I don ’ t know what other information has to be conveyed to the public for the sheeple to dig out their head .
If pictures would help and I could draw , I ’ d make a mural .
But , even then , you still couldn ’ t get some people to even look at it , much less consider the information .
It ’ s like trying to tell people that Black Lives Matter wants to destroy the family and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement leaders proclaim it in front of every news camera .

Now, the government and Trump want you to take a shot in the arm for a problem caused by technology. In what reality does this make sense? None.
Health authorities “warn there’s no guarantee”. Well, duh. Anyone in the medical profession who received a quality education and actually learned from it could have told you there is no guarantee with anything. That’s why it’s called the “practice of medicine”. But, these health authorities are going to push a vaccine that is rushed through and will be useless against a condition caused by technology.

Remember when the coronavirus outbreak first hit in Wuhan , China ?
Remember that Wuhan , China had just rolled out 5G technology around the same time ?
Remember the theory postulated that 5G might have something to do with the outbreak of coronavirus ?
If you do , you will be pleased to know that Dr. Anthony S. Fauci ’ s National Institute of Health ( NIH ) just released the findings of a study that indicates 5G technology can produce coronavirus in human cells .
The abstract and explanation follows from the website .
In this research , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be absorbed by dermatologic cells acting like antennas , transferred to other cells and play the main role in producing Coronaviruses in biological cells .
DNA is built from charged electrons and atoms and has an inductor-like structure .
This structure could be divided into linear , toroid and round inductors .
Inductors interact with external electromagnetic waves , move and produce some extra waves within the cells .
The shapes of these waves are similar to shapes of hexagonal and pentagonal bases of their DNA source .
These waves produce some holes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fill these holes , some extra hexagonal and pentagonal bases are produced .
These bases could join to each other and form virus-like structures such as Coronavirus .
To produce these viruses within a cell , it is necessary that the wavelength of external waves be shorter than the size of the cell .
Thus 5G millimeter waves could be good candidates for applying in constructing virus-like structures such as Coronaviruses ( COVID-19 ) within cells .
In case you missed it , the 5G millimeter waves need to be external waves and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be shorter than the size of the cell in order to induct coronavirus structures in the cell .
And , the waves produce extra waves within the cell – the shapes of those waves are similar to the shapes of hexagonal and pentagonal bases of their DNA source .
The waves create holes in the liquid portion of the cell nucleus and extra hexagonal and pentagonal bases are produced to fill in the gaps .
Those bases then can join with each other to from “ virus-like ” structures like the COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the size of human cells , which vary by function .
So , those of us who postulated that the outbreak and severity of coronavirus could be tied to areas with extensive 5G networks and the roll-out of 5G networks were not just whistling “ Dixie ” .
But , Fauci has not mentioned one word about this in the public sphere , has he ?
Nope .
Birx sure hasn ’ t .
Does Trump know ?
Does anyone in the Trump administration know ?
The answer to that is yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So , why is the public being denied this information ?
The answer to that is simple – it doesn ’ t serve the agenda .
Just like the article written by Fauci , Redfield and Lane in the New England Journal of Medicine declaring the mortality rate of the coronavirus is the same as that of the influenza virus at 0.1 % continues to be ignored , this study will also be ignored .
Literate Americans can not even read the warning labels on the side of the boxes of masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against coronavirus or influenza ; but , everyone who has partaken of the Kool-Aid is wearing masks .
Don ’ t expect lamestream government-controlled entertainment propaganda enemedia to research anything and provide it to the public .
They are all bought and paid for government propaganda shills .
They are peddling fear porn – fear porn created by medical quacks like Fauci , Birx , and Redfield whom Trump placed in front of the public as the “ authorities ” on the subject .
And , Trump continues to put these clowns forward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these medical quacks wrong .
Governors of various States continue their march toward ever more despotic usurpations based on medical quackery and “ Three card ‘ Donald ’ ” .
Look around at all the companies now “ mandating ” customers wear masks .
Look around at the governors acting like despots and tyrants .
All of this is unconstitutional and infringing upon the God-given individual rights of the people .
Look at all the people falling for this and wearing masks .
These are the same people who would eat chocolate frosted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the government told them it was “ frosted brownies ” .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-24--Biden Vows to Stamp Out ‘Islamicphobia’: ie. more Islamic proselytizing is coming to American public

Biden Vows to Stamp Out ‘Islamicphobia’: ie. more Islamic proselytizing is coming to American public schools

The presidential campaign of 2020 has so far unfolded in more of a crisis atmosphere than any campaign in decades .
Portland , Oregon and other cities are still engulfed by Antifa violence ( as the Democrats side with the violent rioters ) , coronavirus hysteria is still hamstringing the nation ’ s economic life and prosperity , social media giants are waging all-out war against the freedom of speech , and America ’ s history and heritage is under direct and unapologetic assault from Marxists vowing a revolution in America .
In the midst of all this , on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden demonstrated anew the disturbing priorities of his increasingly anti-American party .
Instead of addressing the sharp rise in crime and lawlessness , the demonization of American history and culture , the Left ’ s assault on the Second Amendment and other basic rights , or any of the other burning issues of the day , Biden chose to address the “ Million Muslim Votes Summit , ” hosted by Emgage Action , which claims to be is the largest Muslim PAC in the United States .
In the course of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One of the things I think is important , I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith.
” [ 1 ] In the midst of what could very well turn out to be a second American civil war , or even the end of the United States as a free republic , Joe Biden is preoccupied with getting our schools to proselytize for Islam more intensively than they already do .
For make no mistake : that is what Biden means when he says he wishes that our schools @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teach about Islam as a major world religion .
That teaching has already been widely criticized as whitewashing the crimes committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings , and Biden wants even more of that : he thinks the cure for what he repeatedly called “ Islamicphobia ” ( there ’ s that famous “ stutter ” again , but you can ’ t really fault him for getting a word wrong that ’ s artificial and made-up in the first place ) is for American schoolchildren to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islam is wonderful , and never mind about all those dead bodies of people killed to screams of “ Allahu akbar.
” Biden was in effect adopting a familiar trope of post-9/11 Leftists and Islamic supremacists : that opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women is “ hate , ” a hatred that could be eradicated if we redneck yahoo Americans were just made to learn a bit about Islam .
And so the public schools , which Democrats have worked for years to cleanse of every trace of Christianity , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islam .
Imagine the uproar if Biden had said : “ One of the things I think is important , I wish we taught more in our schools about the Christian faith.
” He would have been denounced everywhere and probably would already have been replaced as the likely Democratic Party presidential candidate .
But his far-Left supporters will only applaud his recommendation that the public schools be increasingly devoted to teaching Islam .
This is certain , as Biden went on to claim that America was a dark , dangerous place for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s fault .
The Islamic education was apparently needed because “ under this administration , we ’ ve seen an unconscionable , an unconscionable rise in Islamicphobia and incidents including kids being bullied in schools and hate crimes in our communities.
” [ 2 ] President Trump , Biden insisted , has “ named people with a history of open Islamicphobia — open , straightforward , who have no business serving in high positions in our government — to key leadership roles in our Department of Defense and the US Agency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Islamophobia , ” which is likely what Biden meant to say when he said “ Islamicphobia , ” is defined in a New York Post article about his address to Emgage as “ prejudice against Muslims.
” [ 4 ] Prejudice against any group is never justified .
All too often , however , the term is used to refer to honest and accurate analysis of the ways in which jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims .
Biden is vowing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criticism of Islam , including all opposition to jihad terror , something that the Left has been working toward for a long time .
Even worse , the Washington Free Beacon reports that Emgage Action is “ a George Soros-backed Muslim group , which cohosts a conference that in recent years drew speakers who called homosexuality a ‘ disease ’ and defended terrorist groups….Emgage has collaborated with a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group on events that in recent years attracted speakers who openly opposed LGBT rights and supported terror groups .
Last year , Emgage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of North America ( ISNA ) conferences .
ISNA was previously revealed to be part of the Muslim Brotherhood network—though it claims it is no longer associated with the group.
” [ 5 ] Biden didn ’ t hesitate to throw this crowd plenty of red meat , promising : “ If I have the honor of being president , I will end the Muslim ban on day one , day one.
” [ 6 ] There is no “ Muslim ban , ” but the idea that such a ban does actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the candidate ’ s rapidly deteriorating mental capacity .
Islamic supremacists and their Leftist allies insist on calling the Trump administration ’ s travel bans on nationals from 13 countries a “ Muslim ban , ” even though five of those countries , Burma , Eritrea , Tanzania , North Korea and Venezuela , are not Muslim countries , and there are 49 other Muslim countries upon which there is no ban at all .
The ban exists because these countries can not or will not provide accurate information about prospective immigrants .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Obama administration , while Biden was Vice President .
But that didn ’ t stop Biden from casting it in racial terms , declaring : “ Muslim communities were the first to feel Donald Trump ’ s assault on black and brown communities in this country with his vile Muslim ban.
” [ 7 ] It ’ s a peculiar “ assault on black and brown communities ” that leaves untouched scores of countries inhabited by “ black and brown communities , ” but the Left is working on the gut level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consideration .
Digging even deeper , Biden declared : “ A hadith from the Prophet Muhammad instructs , ‘ Whomever among you sees a wrong , let him change it with his hand .
If he is not able , then with his tongue .
If he is not able , then with his heart.
’ ” [ 8 ] The hadith Biden is quoting is this one : “ On the authority of Abu Sa ` eed al-Khudree ( may Allah be pleased with him ) who said : I heard the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of you sees an evil , let him change it with his hand ; and if he is not able to do so , then with his tongue ; and if he is not able to do so , then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.
’ ” ( Nawawi 34 ) What might Muhammad , or whoever put this saying into his mouth , have meant by changing a wrong with one ’ s hand ?
One of the hazards of analysis of statements of jihad terrorists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words seldom , if ever , mean what they are taken for granted as meaning by Westerners .
This fools mainstream counterterror analysts on a daily basis : when Muslim leaders speak about wanting to establish justice , they think they ’ re ready to set up free societies , when actually they mean they want to impose Sharia .
So it is with Biden ’ s favored saying .
Fighting and killing infidels is repeatedly commanded in the Qur ’ an ( cf .
2:191 .
4:89 , 9:5 , 9:289 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because Islam is committed to mayhem for its own sake , but because the society of the unbelievers must be swept aside in favor of the rule of Islamic law .
The twentieth-century Pakistani political leader and Islamic scholar Syed Abul A ’ la Maududi taught that Muslims must fight until non-Muslims were not be entrusted with the responsibilities of governing a state – any state .
He declared that non-Muslims have “ absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God ’ s earth nor to direct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to their own misconceived doctrines .
For if they are given such an opportunity , corruption and mischief will ensue .
In such a situation the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life.
” [ 9 ] This is the highest activity in which a Muslim can engage : another hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad : “ Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad ( in reward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do not find such a deed.
” ( Bukhari 4.52.44 ) Biden ’ s hadith , therefore , was not some Islamic Hallmark card ; it was a command to wage war against unbelievers .
Note also Biden ’ s reference to “ the Prophet Muhammad.
” It ’ s standard journalistic practice today to assume that everyone is a Muslim and believes Muhammad is a prophet , so Biden is just following along with the crowd and pandering to his constituency , but it ’ s still a manifestation of Islamic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never , ever give him a statement that referred to “ our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
” But Islam is the Left ’ s preferred religion , and Islamopandering is the order of the day , so Biden refers without hesitation to “ the prophet.
” As long as he is quoting hadith , when will Biden get around to this one ?
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying : “ Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah .
Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists , invite them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm .
Invite them to ( accept ) Islam ; if they respond to you , accept it from them and desist from fighting against them… .
If they refuse to accept Islam , demand from them the Jizya .
If they agree to pay , accept it from them and hold off your hands .
If they refuse to pay the tax , seek Allah ’ s help and fight them .
( Sahih @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relentless Islamopandering , Biden ’ s supporters have him on a very short leash , and were not at all satisfied by all by the statements he made to Emgage .
“ I choose Biden , ” said the notorious hijab-wearing anti-Semitic Leftist agitator Linda Sarsour .
[ 10 ] “ But I choose him as my opponent in the White House .
I want him to defeat Trump so we can mobilize our movements to hold him accountable and push him to do and be better .
We can ’ t do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ’ s a decidedly tepid endorsement .
But it makes it clear that Sarsour and the Islamic and Leftist organizations in the U.S. that support the “ Palestinian ” jihad ( and the jihad elsewhere ) will be keeping President Biden on a tight leash .
If he doesn ’ t jump to do their bidding , they ’ ll turn on him , not with the fury with which they hate and wish to destroy Trump , but certainly they will have no sense of loyalty or trust , and not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This means that Biden in the White House will essentially be their tool .
If he didn ’ t have a 6,000-point lead in the polls and social media weren ’ t actively shutting down dissenting voices , I ’ d be worried .
But all this gaslighting and incipient authoritarianism , as worrisome as it is , shows that even Biden ’ s base is deeply worried about his prospects .
And that ’ s a glimmer of hope for America as a free society .

The presidential campaign of 2020 has so far unfolded in more of a crisis atmosphere than any campaign in decades. Portland, Oregon and other cities are still engulfed by Antifa violence (as the Democrats side with the violent rioters), coronavirus hysteria is still hamstringing the nation’s economic life and prosperity, social media giants are waging all-out war against the freedom of speech, and America’s history and heritage is under direct and unapologetic assault from Marxists vowing a revolution in America. In the midst of all this, on July 20, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden demonstrated anew the disturbing priorities of his increasingly anti-American party.
Instead of addressing the sharp rise in crime and lawlessness, the demonization of American history and culture, the Left’s assault on the Second Amendment and other basic rights, or any of the other burning issues of the day, Biden chose to address the “Million Muslim Votes Summit,” hosted by Emgage Action, which claims to be is the largest Muslim PAC in the United States. In the course of his rambling remarks, Biden declared: “One of the things I think is important, I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith.”[1]
In the midst of what could very well turn out to be a second American civil war, or even the end of the United States as a free republic, Joe Biden is preoccupied with getting our schools to proselytize for Islam more intensively than they already do. For make no mistake: that is what Biden means when he says he wishes that our schools taught more about Islam. Schools already teach about Islam as a major world religion. That teaching has already been widely criticized as whitewashing the crimes committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, and Biden wants even more of that: he thinks the cure for what he repeatedly called “Islamicphobia” (there’s that famous “stutter” again, but you can’t really fault him for getting a word wrong that’s artificial and made-up in the first place) is for American schoolchildren to be relentlessly indoctrinated with the idea that Islam is wonderful, and never mind about all those dead bodies of people killed to screams of “Allahu akbar.”
Biden was in effect adopting a familiar trope of post-9/11 Leftists and Islamic supremacists: that opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women is “hate,” a hatred that could be eradicated if we redneck yahoo Americans were just made to learn a bit about Islam. And so the public schools, which Democrats have worked for years to cleanse of every trace of Christianity, must be made an arena for teaching Islam. Imagine the uproar if Biden had said: “One of the things I think is important, I wish we taught more in our schools about the Christian faith.” He would have been denounced everywhere and probably would already have been replaced as the likely Democratic Party presidential candidate.
But his far-Left supporters will only applaud his recommendation that the public schools be increasingly devoted to teaching Islam. This is certain, as Biden went on to claim that America was a dark, dangerous place for Muslims, and it was all Donald Trump’s fault. The Islamic education was apparently needed because “under this administration, we’ve seen an unconscionable, an unconscionable rise in Islamicphobia and incidents including kids being bullied in schools and hate crimes in our communities.”[2] President Trump, Biden insisted, has “named people with a history of open Islamicphobia — open, straightforward, who have no business serving in high positions in our government — to key leadership roles in our Department of Defense and the US Agency of International Development.”[3]
“Islamophobia,” which is likely what Biden meant to say when he said “Islamicphobia,” is defined in a New York Post article about his address to Emgage as “prejudice against Muslims.”[4] Prejudice against any group is never justified. All too often, however, the term is used to refer to honest and accurate analysis of the ways in which jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims.
Biden is vowing to end all that, and effectively criminalize criticism of Islam, including all opposition to jihad terror, something that the Left has been working toward for a long time.
Even worse, the Washington Free Beacon reports that Emgage Action is “a George Soros-backed Muslim group, which cohosts a conference that in recent years drew speakers who called homosexuality a ‘disease’ and defended terrorist groups….Emgage has collaborated with a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group on events that in recent years attracted speakers who openly opposed LGBT rights and supported terror groups. Last year, Emgage became an official cohost of Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conferences. ISNA was previously revealed to be part of the Muslim Brotherhood network—though it claims it is no longer associated with the group.”[5]
Biden didn’t hesitate to throw this crowd plenty of red meat, promising: “If I have the honor of being president, I will end the Muslim ban on day one, day one.”[6] There is no “Muslim ban,” but the idea that such a ban does actually exist is not just a product of the candidate’s rapidly deteriorating mental capacity. Islamic supremacists and their Leftist allies insist on calling the Trump administration’s travel bans on nationals from 13 countries a “Muslim ban,” even though five of those countries, Burma, Eritrea, Tanzania, North Korea and Venezuela, are not Muslim countries, and there are 49 other Muslim countries upon which there is no ban at all.
The ban exists because these countries cannot or will not provide accurate information about prospective immigrants. The list of countries was devised during the Obama administration, while Biden was Vice President. But that didn’t stop Biden from casting it in racial terms, declaring: “Muslim communities were the first to feel Donald Trump’s assault on black and brown communities in this country with his vile Muslim ban.”[7] It’s a peculiar “assault on black and brown communities” that leaves untouched scores of countries inhabited by “black and brown communities,” but the Left is working on the gut level of rage and hatred, not rational consideration.
Digging even deeper, Biden declared: “A hadith from the Prophet Muhammad instructs, ‘Whomever among you sees a wrong, let him change it with his hand. If he is not able, then with his tongue. If he is not able, then with his heart.’”[8]
The hadith Biden is quoting is this one: “On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say, ‘Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.’” (Nawawi 34)
What might Muhammad, or whoever put this saying into his mouth, have meant by changing a wrong with one’s hand? One of the hazards of analysis of statements of jihad terrorists is that in an Islamic context, words seldom, if ever, mean what they are taken for granted as meaning by Westerners. This fools mainstream counterterror analysts on a daily basis: when Muslim leaders speak about wanting to establish justice, they think they’re ready to set up free societies, when actually they mean they want to impose Sharia.
So it is with Biden’s favored saying. Fighting and killing infidels is repeatedly commanded in the Qur’an (cf. 2:191. 4:89, 9:5, 9:289, 47:4, etc.), not because Islam is committed to mayhem for its own sake, but because the society of the unbelievers must be swept aside in favor of the rule of Islamic law. The twentieth-century Pakistani political leader and Islamic scholar Syed Abul A’la Maududi taught that Muslims must fight until non-Muslims were not be entrusted with the responsibilities of governing a state – any state. He declared that non-Muslims have “absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. For if they are given such an opportunity, corruption and mischief will ensue. In such a situation the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life.”[9]
This is the highest activity in which a Muslim can engage: another hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44)
Biden’s hadith, therefore, was not some Islamic Hallmark card; it was a command to wage war against unbelievers.
Note also Biden’s reference to “the Prophet Muhammad.” It’s standard journalistic practice today to assume that everyone is a Muslim and believes Muhammad is a prophet, so Biden is just following along with the crowd and pandering to his constituency, but it’s still a manifestation of Islamic supremacism. Biden’s handlers would never, ever give him a statement that referred to “our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” But Islam is the Left’s preferred religion, and Islamopandering is the order of the day, so Biden refers without hesitation to “the prophet.”
As long as he is quoting hadith, when will Biden get around to this one? A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294)
Yet despite all his relentless Islamopandering, Biden’s supporters have him on a very short leash, and were not at all satisfied by all by the statements he made to Emgage. “I choose Biden,” said the notorious hijab-wearing anti-Semitic Leftist agitator Linda Sarsour.[10] “But I choose him as my opponent in the White House. I want him to defeat Trump so we can mobilize our movements to hold him accountable and push him to do and be better. We can’t do that with Trump.”[11]
That’s a decidedly tepid endorsement. But it makes it clear that Sarsour and the Islamic and Leftist organizations in the U.S. that support the “Palestinian” jihad (and the jihad elsewhere) will be keeping President Biden on a tight leash. If he doesn’t jump to do their bidding, they’ll turn on him, not with the fury with which they hate and wish to destroy Trump, but certainly they will have no sense of loyalty or trust, and not let him make him one misstep. This means that Biden in the White House will essentially be their tool.
If he didn’t have a 6,000-point lead in the polls and social media weren’t actively shutting down dissenting voices, I’d be worried. But all this gaslighting and incipient authoritarianism, as worrisome as it is, shows that even Biden’s base is deeply worried about his prospects. And that’s a glimmer of hope for America as a free society.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-24--Homeland Security Justifies Invasion of Portland by Claiming Hot Water Tank Pans & Masks are Weapons

I am for law and order , and yes , there are many in Portland that are against our very foundations , but a response outside our Constitution is also a violation of law .
DHS acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli is pushing propaganda .
Let me show you how and my response to him .
I mean “ not , ” not now .
In any case , nowhere in the Constitution is a federal agency charged with this , but rather the Constitution is clear in Article I : Clause 15 .
The Congress shall have Power *** @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to execute the Laws of the Union , suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions .
Clause 16 .
The Congress shall have Power *** To provide for organizing , arming , and disciplining , the Militia , and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States , reserving to the States respectively , the Appointment of the Officers , and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress .
See ?
No DHS , no federal agencies .
This action @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are rioting and looting and harming others in major streets in the US .
Just making sure we ’ re clear as to the tyranny Cuccinelli is advancing because somehow he believes hot water tank pans and gas masks are now weapons .
What about the actual weapons of his Gestapo ?
Far from restoring order , the arrival of federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) and Border Patrol in Portland , Oregon has only heightened tensions , with agents attacking and arresting protesters nightly .
DHS ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social media yesterday to share images of items confiscated from demonstrators .
“ Here is a shield and a couple of gas masks from a rioter arrested in Portland .
Not a sign with a slogan that someone expressing their first amendment rights might carry , but preparations for violence .
Peaceful protester ?
I don ’ t think so , ” he wrote .
Evidence that demonstrators were using inherently defensive items like shields and gas masks to protect themselves from tear gas , rubber bullets and pepper balls appeared not to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the movement .
“ ‘ The steps you take to protect yourself from the violence I perpetrate against you are the evidence that you deserve that violence ’ is rarely articulated quite so plainly .
At least not in public , ” replied Angus Johnston of Hostos Community College ( City University of New York ) .
The DHS justifies its invasion of Portland — over the objections of city and state officials — on the grounds that it is protecting federal property , particularly the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Simply put , we need to make sure [ it is ] not burned down , as rioters have tried to do for weeks .
That ’ s our mission , ” it stated .
Yet it is far from clear whether the DHS has the legal remit to do so .
Its own website notes that its mission is “ striving to prevent future [ terrorist ] attacks against the United States and our allies , responding decisively to natural and man-made disasters , and advancing American prosperity and economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ none of which would be covered by protesters graffiting federal property .
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the government and the DHS for their actions .
Despite this , Cuccinelli has promised to expand the use of federal troops or police nationwide , including into a number of Democratic-run cities .
“ This is a posture we intend to continue not just in Portland but in any of the facilities that we ’ re responsible for around the country , ” he told NPR .
Fears over live ammo and violence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far more concerned about the violence of the feds than of any damage protesters have done .
The city ’ s mayor , Ken Wheeler , has repeatedly demanded federal agents leave the city immediately .
Instead , they gassed Wheeler himself when he joined the demonstrations .
Wheeler also raised concerns over unconfirmed reports that agents had been authorized to use live ammunition .
Despite Wheeler and many other Oregon representatives ’ opposition to the President ’ s moves , demonstrators themselves have criticized the mayor for failing to rein in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no less aggressive .
Despite a judge banning the use of tear gas , earlier this month , police broke the court order and declared a riot , using flashbang grenades and tear gas to disperse protesters .
According to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker , Portland has seen 52 attacks on journalists since the nationwide protests against racist police violence began in late May , Minneapolis being the only city recording more .
Not counted among the 52 is the case of MintPress contributor Wyatt Reed .
Late Wednesday night , federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pepper balls , injuring his eye .
Last night , he was also hit in the knee and the hand .
“ For the record I was sitting by myself , well away from anyone else & nowhere near any of more militant demonstrators when these “ specially trained ” federal agents shot me directly w chemical weapons projectile , ” he tweeted .
The current protest movement was sparked by the viral images showing the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis .
Since then they expanded to every state in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recent Morning Consult poll found that 23 percent of police officers said they held “ very ” or “ somewhat favorable ” views of white supremacy , by far the highest proportion of over 100 identifiable groups the survey asked .
President Trump has opted to confront the protests head on , rather than make concessions .
If shields and gas masks are now considered weapons , it appears likely that more government escalation is on the cards for Portland .

Here’s his tweet.
Here is a shield and a couple of gas masks from a rioter arrested in Portland. Not a sign with a slogan that someone expressing their first amendment rights might carry, but preparations for violence. Peaceful protester? I don’t think so. pic.twitter.com/0Re1V129ge — Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli (@HomelandKen) July 23, 2020
Just so we're clear and I'm not justifying rioter or looters , but very much peaceful protesters who don't want to get hit with rubber bullets , tear gas and clubs…. just what are we to think of the unconstitutional DHS invading Portland…. the Constitution says the militia… — Tim Brown (@FPPTim) July 24, 2020
… which is composed of the people under the direction of the president, are to put down insurrections and enforce the law… now your NHS Gestapo. — Tim Brown (@FPPTim) July 24, 2020
I mean “not,” not now. In any case, nowhere in the Constitution is a federal agency charged with this, but rather the Constitution is clear in Article I:
Clause 15. The Congress shall have Power *** To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.
Clause 16. The Congress shall have Power *** To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.
See? No DHS, no federal agencies. This action is as lawless as the ones who are rioting and looting and harming others in major streets in the US. Just making sure we’re clear as to the tyranny Cuccinelli is advancing because somehow he believes hot water tank pans and gas masks are now weapons. What about the actual weapons of his Gestapo?
Alan Macleod reports:
Far from restoring order, the arrival of federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Border Patrol in Portland, Oregon has only heightened tensions, with agents attacking and arresting protesters nightly. DHS’ Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli took to social media yesterday to share images of items confiscated from demonstrators.
“Here is a shield and a couple of gas masks from a rioter arrested in Portland. Not a sign with a slogan that someone expressing their first amendment rights might carry, but preparations for violence. Peaceful protester? I don’t think so,” he wrote. Evidence that demonstrators were using inherently defensive items like shields and gas masks to protect themselves from tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper balls appeared not to convince many to drop their support of the movement. “‘The steps you take to protect yourself from the violence I perpetrate against you are the evidence that you deserve that violence’ is rarely articulated quite so plainly. At least not in public,” replied Angus Johnston of Hostos Community College (City University of New York).
The DHS justifies its invasion of Portland — over the objections of city and state officials — on the grounds that it is protecting federal property, particularly the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse, which has become a venue of intense struggle. “Simply put, we need to make sure [it is] not burned down, as rioters have tried to do for weeks. That’s our mission,” it stated. Yet it is far from clear whether the DHS has the legal remit to do so. Its own website notes that its mission is “striving to prevent future [terrorist] attacks against the United States and our allies, responding decisively to natural and man-made disasters, and advancing American prosperity and economic security long into the future,” none of which would be covered by protesters graffiting federal property. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the government and the DHS for their actions.
Despite this, Cuccinelli has promised to expand the use of federal troops or police nationwide, including into a number of Democratic-run cities. “This is a posture we intend to continue not just in Portland but in any of the facilities that we’re responsible for around the country,” he told NPR.
Fears over live ammo and violence against the press
Local elected officials appear far more concerned about the violence of the feds than of any damage protesters have done. The city’s mayor, Ken Wheeler, has repeatedly demanded federal agents leave the city immediately. Instead, they gassed Wheeler himself when he joined the demonstrations.
What I saw last night was powerful in many ways. I listened, heard, and stood with protesters. And I saw what it means when the federal government unleashes paramilitary forces against its own people. It is unconscionable and un-American. We are all committed to change – this must stop so the work can move forward,” he wrote.
Wheeler also raised concerns over unconfirmed reports that agents had been authorized to use live ammunition. Despite Wheeler and many other Oregon representatives’ opposition to the President’s moves, demonstrators themselves have criticized the mayor for failing to rein in his own police force, who have been no less aggressive. Despite a judge banning the use of tear gas, earlier this month, police broke the court order and declared a riot, using flashbang grenades and tear gas to disperse protesters.
According to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, Portland has seen 52 attacks on journalists since the nationwide protests against racist police violence began in late May, Minneapolis being the only city recording more. Not counted among the 52 is the case of MintPress contributor Wyatt Reed. Late Wednesday night, federal agents shot him in the face with pepper balls, injuring his eye. Last night, he was also hit in the knee and the hand. “For the record I was sitting by myself, well away from anyone else & nowhere near any of more militant demonstrators when these “specially trained” federal agents shot me directly w chemical weapons projectile,” he tweeted.
The current protest movement was sparked by the viral images showing the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Since then they expanded to every state in the union and to other nations. One recent Morning Consult poll found that 23 percent of police officers said they held “very” or “somewhat favorable” views of white supremacy, by far the highest proportion of over 100 identifiable groups the survey asked. President Trump has opted to confront the protests head on, rather than make concessions. If shields and gas masks are now considered weapons, it appears likely that more government escalation is on the cards for Portland.

The Numbers Tell Us That The ‘Economic Recovery’ Is Dead And Businesses Are Failing At A Staggering Pace
Even though economic conditions were absolutely awful, during the month of June the mainstream media kept insisting that the U.S. economy was “recovering” and the stock market kept surging on every hint of good news. But now the “economic recovery” narrative is completely dead, because the numbers clearly show that the U.S. economy is rapidly moving in the wrong direction. On Thursday, the Labor Department announced that another 1.416 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week.

But what is really alarming many analysts is that the number for last week was quite a bit higher than the number for the week before. Many states are rolling out new restrictions as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to surge, and this is having a huge impact on economic activity. For months I have been warning that fear of COVID-19 would prevent economic activity from returning to normal levels for the foreseeable future, and that is precisely what has happened.
Overall, more than 52 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the past 18 weeks, and that makes this the biggest spike in unemployment in U.S. history by a very wide margin.
In fact, this dwarfs all previous spikes by so much that the others are not even worth mentioning.
Of course, it isn’t just the employment numbers that are depressingly bad. According to Jefferies, in late June 19 percent of all U.S. small businesses were closed, but now that number has risen to 24.5 percent…
As of Sunday, 24.5% of small businesses in the United States were closed, according to Jefferies. That is worse than late June, when only 19% were closed. Jefferies pointed to “particular weakness in COVID hot spots” and noted that small business employment had dropped to levels unseen since the end of May.
Just think about that number for a minute.
Nearly a quarter of all small businesses in the entire country are closed.
And the really bad news is that many of them will never end up reopening.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I received a lot of criticism for stating that many of the small businesses that were shutting down at that time would never open again, but over the long-term the numbers have shown that I was correct.
In fact, Yelp says that a whopping 60 percent of the restaurants that were initially listed as “temporarily closed” on their site are now classified as permanently closed…
It’s tough out there for restaurants and other small businesses. Yelp’s Economic Average report out Wednesday shows exactly how tough: 60 percent of the 26,160 temporarily closed restaurants on the business review site as of July are now permanently shut. Temporary closures are dropping, and permanent shutdowns are increasing.
Fear of COVID-19 is going to cause a large portion of the population to continue to avoid restaurants for as long as this pandemic persists, and it is becoming clear that it is likely to persist for a long time to come.
We are going to lose so many small and independent places to eat. Many of the big corporate chains that have very deep pockets will survive, at least for a while, but there is simply no replacing what small and independent restaurants mean to our communities.
Bars and clubs are being hit extremely hard as well. According to Yelp, 44 percent of the bars and clubs on their site that were initially listed as “temporarily closed” have now been shut down on a permanent basis…
Bars and clubs are also closing forever at high rates: 44 percent (as of July) of 5,454 temporarily shuttered bars and other nightlife establishments are shut for good.
Other sectors of the economy are doing relatively better, but the overall outlook for small businesses in America is exceedingly bleak.
In New York City, it is being projected that one-third of all small businesses will never be able to open again…
As many as 76,000 small businesses in New York City – a third of the 230,000 citywide – may never reopen after forced to close during the COVID-19 lockdown, business leaders have warned. The Partnership for New York City, a not-for-profit organization that connects business leaders with local government, predicted that 76,000 small businesses will never be able to reopen in a report produced by 14 consulting firms.
I know that number is hard to believe, but this is actually happening.
Our politicians want to encourage people “to go back to work”, but for millions upon millions of Americans, the jobs that they once had are gone forever.
Air travel is another industry that is being absolutely devastated by this pandemic. After a modest bounce in June, the number of air passengers is starting to fall again…
The resurgence of coronavirus infections is derailing the travel industry’s modest recovery. The number of air passengers processed through TSA security lines fell during the week ended July 20, compared with the prior week, according to Bank of America. This metric is down more than 70% from a year ago. United (UAL) CEO Scott Kirby told CNBC on Wednesday that the airline doesn’t “expect to get anywhere close to normal until there’s a vaccine that’s been widely distributed to a large portion of the population.”
All of the numbers that I have shared in this article tell us that we are in an economic depression.
Many had hoped that this economic downturn would be short-lived and that a “V-shaped recovery” would commence once the coronavirus lockdowns were lifted.
But instead, a resurgence of cases has caused new restrictions to be implemented, and economic activity is slowing down again.
The bottom line is that all of us need to get prepared to weather a long-term economic storm that is going to be incredibly painful.
The last recession was bad, but it isn’t even worth comparing to the times that we are entering now. All of our lives are being turned upside down, and a lot of people are not going to be able to handle what comes next.
