In Minneapolis, Armed Residents Set Up Patrols Amid Calls to Defund the Police

The city council approves its first permanent cuts to the police budget; crime has surged in the past two months

Why Aren’t the Media Polling and Reporting in-Depth on the Riots? 

I think we know why.

New school choice? Trump wants education funds to go to parents if schools don’t reopen

Take power away from Democrat teacher unions and put it in the hands of parents.

A look at early to mid-season push polling. These polls are intended to shape public opinion not measure it. Real polling won’t start until 2 to 4 weeks before the election. The old saying about indicting a ham sandwich has a corollary, pollsters could elect a ham sandwich, until the actual election.

Brian C. Joondeph:

“…Let’s look at CNN’s gaggle of polls. The Washington Post – ABC News poll sampled 1,000 adults. Not likely voters, not registered voters, not even eligible voters, just whoever answered the phone. They also oversampled Democrats by 6 percentage points and their sample contained 399 Trump supporters compared to 522 Biden supporters, over a 25 percent advantage for Biden.

It’s no wonder their survey found Biden favored over Trump 54 to 39 percent, reflecting the sample…”

You can easily go on and on. Just because MSM fake news outlets don’t report on the violence, or attempt to redefine violence as peace, does not mean that evidence of Antifa/BLM violence is not available. It is readily available to anyone.

Nadler was and is delusional about Trump/Russia collusion, Trump impeachment, and now criminal rioting, looting, and violence. He estimates he can be delusional because he knows the MSM will not call him out on it and the more delusional he gets, the more popular he is with his constituency.

‘If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country’

Those who fail to understand history are likely to repeat it.

It is well to remember which American political party supported slavery and started the civil war. That is not the point of this piece, however. It is the stridency, the rejection of all but their own beliefs to the point of armed conflict. That is what these two gentlemen embody. Crazy stridency. This country is built on compromise and common interests. Move away from those foundations and armed conflict is possible. These two gentlemen also represent the historically wrong assumption that the other side is weak. Weakened through democratic principles and processes that must be followed. In the same way the Southern Confederacy was defeated in 1865, so too will Democratic calls for violence and tolerance for violence in this modern age be defeated. Democrats should remember the state of the Southern Confederacy at the end of the civil war – totally ravaged and beaten – and the great cost in blood and treasure that the war demanded. I urge party leaders to turn back from crazy stridency.

Edmund Ruffin (January 5, 1794 – June 18, 1865) was a wealthy Virginia planter and slaveholder. In the last three decades before the American Civil War, his pro-slavery writings received more attention than his agricultural work. Ruffin staunchly advocated states’ rights and slavery, arguing for secession years before the Civil War, and became a political activist with the so-called Fire-Eaters. Ruffin is given credit for “firing the first shot of the war” at the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861 and fought as a Confederate soldier despite his advanced age. When the war ended in Southern defeat in 1865, he committed suicide rather than submit to “Yankee rule.”

John Caldwell Calhoun (March 18, 1782 – March 31, 1850) was an American statesman and political theorist from South Carolina who served as the seventh vice president of the United States from 1825 to 1832. He is remembered for strongly defending slavery and for advancing the concept of minority states’ rights in politics. He did this in the context of protecting the interests of the white South when its residents were outnumbered by Northerners. He began his political career as a nationalist, modernizer, and proponent of a strong national government and protective tariffs. In the late 1820s, his views changed radically, and he became a leading proponent of states’ rights, limited government, nullification, and opposition to high tariffs. He saw Northern acceptance of those policies as a condition of the South remaining in the Union. His beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South’s secession from the Union in 1860–1861.

This is what the caller is referring to:

Murdered In Broad Daylight — Famous Black Trump supporter shot to death in Milwaukee

The murder of Bernell Trammell, a well-known Black supporter of Donald Trump, is a modern day lynching. A lynching through gun shots of a black man who thought for himself, spoke out, and refused to toe the Democrat party line.

This is the Democrat party. This is who they are. They drift farther and farther from reality and become increasingly disturbed to the point of violence.

Where are local, state, and national democrat leaders?

Should they speak out on this issue, or do they agree with the caller that murder of Trump supporters is fair game?

John Heilemann:

“…I don’t want to be overly alarmist about this, but I think this is the time to be alarmist knowing where Donald Trump stands right now politically, understanding where we are headed in this election, I think we are looking at potentially a trial run for a kind of — a genuine attempt to, through intimidation and potentially through force, to try to — to try to steal this election…

I think we are now at the point where we see the things that the President is doing, we see his intention to not accept an outcome of this election where he loses to Joe Biden. He’s making it very clear. And some of it is rhetoric about mail-in voting, but when the next thing, in the next breath is that he’s talking about sending these unmarked paramilitary guards to places with Democratic  blue states with very blue cities run by Democratic mayors…

I think we should all take very seriously the prospect that this is a dress rehearsal, a trial run for first an attempt at voter intimidation on Election Day. Are these unmarked paramilitary units going to be doing ‘security’ at the polls in battleground states? I think that’s a question we’d like to have answered…”

Hat tip to Kane

Julie Kelly:

“…The liberal think tank helped perpetrate one of the biggest frauds in political history on the American people.

In December 2018, a well-regarded left-leaning think tank published a 4,500-word defense of the Steele dossier, the document central to the government’s charge that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign colluded with the Kremlin to influence the outcome of the presidential election.

Lawfare, a project of the Brookings Institution, defended the dossier as “a collection of raw intelligence” that was similar to forms used by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to transcribe information obtained by witnesses.

“The dossier holds up well over time, and none of it, to our knowledge, has been disproven,” wrote Chuck Rosenberg and Sarah Grant in a judgement that did not hold up well over time. “The Mueller investigation has clearly produced public records that confirm pieces of the dossier. And even where the details are not exact, the general thrust of Steele’s reporting seems credible in light of what we now know about extensive contacts between numerous individuals associated with the Trump campaign and Russian government officials.”

That column was just one of hundreds of collusion propaganda articles disguised as think pieces from a respectable Washington, D.C. public policy center. With the distinguished imprimatur of the Brookings Institution, articles would quickly permeate the media—both social and traditional—to legitimize the concocted Russian collusion storyline…”
