Second Presidential Debate Officially Cancelled

/1 Comment/in , /by

Just one day after announcing the second 2020 debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden would be moved to a virtual format, the Commission on Presidential Debates has formally canceled the event entirely.

“The campaigns of the two candidates who qualified for participation in the debate made a series of statements concerning their respective positions regarding their willingness to participate in a virtual debate on October 15, and each now has announced alternate plans for that date,” the Commission said in a statement released Friday evening. “It is now apparent there will be no debate on October 15, and the CPD will turn its attention to preparations for the final presidential debate scheduled for October 22.”

The Commission added that barring unexpected concerns relating to coronavirus, the third debate will still take place at Belmont University and the six different segments — each chosen by moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News — will all focus on foreign policy. Welker is expected to announce the topics at least one week prior to the debate.

Trump originally threatened to skip the second debate following the Commission’s Thursday announcement.

DOD Test of Viral Spread on Commercial Planes Reveals Good News, General Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The head of U.S. Transportation Command offered a sneak preview Wednesday of the results of a Defense Department test of particulate spread on commercial aircraft — and they are surprising.

Speaking at the National Defense Transportation Association’s annual fall meeting, Gen. Stephen Lyons cited an aerosol test held Aug. 24-31 aboard two large passenger aircraft: the Boeing 767-300 and 777-200. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA, teamed up with biodefense company Zeteo Tech Inc. to evaluate in-flight spread of airborne particles. Industry partners included Boeing and United Airlines.

“[The test] was an initiative initiated by TRANSCOM and supported by the Air Force and the test community to determine whether it’s safe to fly on commercial airliners,” Lyons said Wednesday. “And I have to tell you, their results, as were the results when we looked at this from the COVID patient movement challenge, are very, very encouraging.”

There are some qualifiers, Lyons noted. The conditions that yielded positive results, he said, involved aircraft with HEPA filtration and “a very, very high air exchange rate of every two to five minutes or two to three minutes.” (Read more from “DOD Test of Viral Spread on Commercial Planes Reveals Good News, General Says” HERE)

Speaker Pelosi Invests Hundreds of Thousands in Firm Behind Russia Collusion Hoax

/1 Comment/in , /by

You just can’t make this stuff up. Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi this past week invested between $5oo,000 and million dollars in the firm behind the Russia collusion sham, Crowdstrike.

One firm behind the entire Russia collusion fairy tale was Crowdstrike. So it should come as no surprise that the firm that helped push the fraudulent Russia collusion hoax on the American people for years would be a the firm that corrupt and nasty speaker Pelosi would invest in. . .

Deep State participant Crowdstrike had no information that Russia hacked the DNC and then forwarded hacked emails to WikiLeaks. This was a lie! But it was used by the Deep State FBI and Mueller gang to push forward with the Russia collusion scandal.

A release of documents from the Intel Community that were held up by corrupt liar, Rep. Adam Schiff, showed that the Russia collusion sham based on was the tale that Russia hacked the DNC and then gave the hacked emails to WikiLeaks, who in turn released them before the 2016 election, was a lie!

BLM Supporter Linked to Governor Kidnap Plot, Mainstream Media Buries News

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The far-left Washington Post buried the news one of the alleged plotters in the scheme to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is a Black Lives Matter supporter.

You have to trudge through more than a dozen paragraphs to find this:

One of alleged plotters, 23-year-old Daniel Harris, attended a Black Lives Matter protest in June, telling the Oakland County Times he was upset about the killing of George Floyd and police violence.

But-but-but I was told by the media, Joe Biden, and Whitmer all the plotters are right-wing, racist, militia men inspired by Donald Trump!!!

Well, like everything else the national media and Democrats tell us, that was just one more big, fat f**king lie. (Read more from “BLM Supporter Linked to Governor Kidnap Plot, Mainstream Media Buries News” HERE)

Plot to Kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Foiled by FBI

By Chicago Sun Times. Authorities on Thursday announced that they had foiled a stunning plot to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in an alleged scheme that involved months of planning and even rehearsals to snatch her from her vacation home.

Six men were charged in federal court with conspiring to kidnap the governor before the Nov. 3 elections in reaction to what they viewed as her “uncontrolled power,” according to a federal complaint. Separately, seven others linked to a paramilitary group called the Wolverine Watchmen were charged in state court for allegedly seeking to storm the Michigan Capitol and seek a “civil war.” (Read more from “Plot to Kidnap Michigan Gov.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police have said they expect violence and retaliation from Antifa after a massive operation involving 1,500 officers to remove extremists from a long-standing squat.

Around 57 extremists were removed from the “Liebig 34” squat in the Friedrichshain district of Berlin on Friday morning, with officials saying that only a few offered physical resistance.

However, police also stated that they expect retaliation for the far left in the German capital in the coming days in response to the operation, Die Welt reports.

According to Die Welt, law enforcement expect attacks on police vehicles and properties as well as potential attacks on public transport infrastructure and other actions. “The aim of the actions is to put the capital in ruins,” a police source said.

1,500 officers from eight different German states took part in the operation which began at around 7 a.m. The area around the building was cordoned off and any demonstrators were dispersed from the area. Some police were attacked on nearby streets, however. (Read more from “Police Fear Retaliation After Clearing Out Antifa Squat” HERE)

Shameless Media Peddling Democrat Propaganda on Court-Packing; Senator Says That Confirming Barrett ‘Constitutes Court-Packing,’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. . .On Sunday, the Associated Press rolled out Newspeak, adopting a Democrat euphemism for court-packing, which is the Democrats’ plan to subvert the rule of law by transforming the Supreme Court into another legislative body via the addition of new judgeships. The AP published the following passage:

“[Gov. and Sen. candidate Steve Bullock (D-MT)] said that if Coney Barrett was confirmed, he would be open to measures to depoliticize the court, including adding judges to the bench, a practice critics have dubbed packing the courts,” reads the original AP story.

Only after sharp criticism from conservatives on Twitter did the AP remove its Newspeak. This is why Jack Dorsey and his liberal cohorts at Twitter are rolling out temporary speech codes to crack down on free speech and interfere in the election. . .

Free speech is under attack. The truth is under attack. Our constitutional republic is under attack. The media has been infiltrated by far-left activists working for the Democratic Party who are hellbent on indoctrinating the American people and destroying our system of government to advance the far-left agenda. The stakes couldn’t be higher this November.

Coons Says That Confirming Barrett ‘Constitutes Court-Packing,’ Sasse Responds That’s ‘Obviously’ Incorrect

By Fox News. Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chris Coons said on Sunday that the Senate moving to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett “constitutes court-packing,” and called the nominee’s views “disqualifying.”

Coons, D-Del., made the comments during an interview with “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., also spoke with Wallace Sunday.

“I’m going to be laying out the ways in which Judge Barrett’s views … are not just extreme, they’re disqualifying,” Coons said of Democrats’ strategy for Barrett’s hearings. “It constitutes court-packing.”

Court-packing’s traditional definition is expanding the Supreme Court by law and then confirming justices to those seats, not what Republicans are doing, which is filling a naturally occurring vacancy. Sasse shot back that Coons’ definition of court-packing was “obviously” incorrect and accused the Democrat of using “Orwellian” language.

Trump Claims He Is Immune to Coronavirus

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump on Sunday indicated that he no longer has the coronavirus and claimed that he is now “immune” from the disease as he is set to rejoin the campaign trail soon.

“Yes, and not only that, it seems like I’m immune, so I can go way out of a basement, which I would have done anyway,” Trump said in response to a question from “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo about whether his doctor’s note indicates he no longer has the coronavirus.

The White House has not yet confirmed that Trump has tested negative for the virus. There’s evidence that reinfection is unlikely for at least three months even for people who had a mild case of COVID-19. But it is unclear how much longer that lasts.

“The president is in very good shape to fight the battles,” Trump added. “I beat this crazy horrible China virus… I passed the highest test, the highest standards, and I’m in great shape. And I have to tell you I feel fantastically. I really feel good.”

Trump made the comments the day after his first public appearance since being diagnosed with the coronavirus Saturday. The interview is a continuation of a virtual media blitz the president has been engaged in this week as he convalesces. (Read more from “Trump Claims He Is Immune to Coronavirus” HERE)

NYPD Shrinks Amid Anti-Cop Rhetoric

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is shrinking as officers retire amidst a spike in anti-police sentiment, despite the city seeing crime soar.

“We’re living through very challenging times,” NYPD Chief of Personnel Martin Morales said, according to the Daily News. “We have officers retiring from all ranks, including very tenured investigators and very tenured supervisors.”

Nearly 2,400 NYPD officers have filed for retirement in 2020 as of Oct. 6, according to Fox News. This number is a drastic increase over — nearly double — the retirements at the same time last year, when just under 1,300 officers retired. Between January and May, the NYPD averaged around 200 retirements a month. However, between June and September, retirements averaged approximately 400, per the same report.

Despite the retirements, the NYPD still has more than 34,000 officers, making it the largest agency in the country. (Read more from “NYPD Shrinks Amid Anti-Cop Rhetoric” HERE)

Mike Pompeo to Release Hillary Clinton’s State Department Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday vowed to track down and release information regarding tens of thousands of emails former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent and received over a private email server while in office, a day after President Donald Trump lambasted Pompeo for not having done so.

In an interview on Fox News, Pompeo laughed off Trump’s criticism from a day earlier, telling anchor Dana Perino that “we’ve got the emails, we’re getting them out.” He added: “We’ll get all of this information out so the American people can see it.”

Clinton’s private server has long been the target of conservatives, and Trump made it a central argument of his first presidential campaign, threatening to jail Clinton and reveling in chants of “lock her up” at campaign events. . .

Trump has focused heavily on Clinton in recent days, while also railing against the Justice Department following the news that U.S. Attorney John Durham would not be unveiling any indictments or disclosures about his probe into the origins of the Russia investigation ahead of Election Day.

Twitter to Flag Tweets Claiming Early Victory After Election, Remove Posts Inciting Interference

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter said Friday it will flag posts on its platform that prematurely claim victory in the U.S. presidential race and will remove ones meant to incite people to interfere in the election process.

Less than a month before Election Day, Twitter followed Google and Facebook in becoming the latest major internet company to put new rules in place in anticipation of possible confusion or chaos.

“People on Twitter, including candidates for office, may not claim an election win before it is authoritatively called,” Twitter’s Vijaya Gadde and Kayvon Beykpour explained in a blog post.

“To determine the results of an election in the U.S., we require either an announcement from state election officials, or a public projection from at least two authoritative, national news outlets that make independent election calls,” they wrote.

Tweets that include early claims about the results of any contests taking place next month will be labeled as premature and refer user to the company’s official page for the elections, they added.
