Karma is a bitch.
Democrat.
These people are Democrats.
Vote for Democrats and this is what you will get.
Clueless nitwits.
If it wasn’t such a disaster for an American city it would be comedy gold.

For the current crop of children in journalism school who are being taught that their jobs are to be advocates for liberal politics, read Mollie Hemingway. She is a real journalist, maybe the best in the country at the moment. In this article she practices the art of journalism at the highest level and destroys old Biden lies and the incompetence of modern “journalists.” Many modern “journalists”, men and women, are no more than pretty faces, pretty media personalities. Pretty personalities with pretty opinions that they think are news. Here is the link:
I highly recommend you click on the link to read the whole article. There is to much to summarize here and all of it is good. It identifies, I should say re-identifies, a major character flaw in the Democrat candidate for President. A flaw you will not know about if you get your news from the MSM or other liberal press.
Many voters may not be old enough to remember the events of the 1988 presidential election. Read Mollie Hemingway to inform yourself.
It’s time to reverse a century of fire-management policy. That will require sweeping regulatory reforms, and tons of money.
“…Five of California’s 10 largest fires in modern history are all burning at once. Together, this year’s wildfires have already destroyed 4,200 buildings, forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes, and scorched more than 3.2 million acres across the state.
That’s larger than Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks combined, and nearly half the area of Massachusetts. The latest blazes follow a string of particularly deadly and devastating fire seasons in California, and scientists say climate change will ensure even worse ones to come.
To anyone who lives here, or anyone who’s watching, the situation is maddening and seems utterly unsustainable. So what’s the solution?
There’s an overwhelming to-do list. But one of the clearest conclusions, as experts have been saying for years, is that California must begin to work with fires, not just fight them. That means reversing a century of US fire suppression policies and relying far more on deliberate, prescribed burns to clear out the vegetation that builds up into giant piles of fuel.
Such practices “don’t prevent wildfires,” says Crystal Kolden, an assistant professor at the University of California, Merced focused on fire and land management. “But it breaks up the landscape, so that when wildfires do occur, they’re much less severe, they’re much smaller, and when they occur around communities, they’re much easier to control.”…”
Conrad Black:
“…I have railed in this and in other outlets many times in recent months against what I have described as a pantomime horse of the Democratic campaign conducted by a “decayed servitor, a waxworks dummy . . . following the science” by hiding in the catacombs of his Delaware home and giving minimum access to docile journalists and practically no authentic members of the public. It must be said that the Democratic Party elders who resuscitated the political corpses of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris presidential nomination candidacies have performed a political miracle by keeping this ramshackle imposture in serious contention.
There have been hopeless and implausible candidacies and bungled campaigns before, but there has never been in the United States such a long-sustained fraudulent campaign on an unfeasible platform and by such a seriously incapable potential president as this one. It must now, finally, be almost the time when it falls down in shards.
I frequently ask, as (St.) Margaret Thatcher used to say, “Do my ears deceive me?” Unfortunately, they do not. Historians of the future will have to determine why 90 percent of the national political media is so rabidly hostile to President Trump that they have spontaneously assumed the conduct of the Democratic campaign themselves…”
“…Nashville Mayor John Cooper and members of his administration weren’t straightforward enough with their COVID-19 data and, in effect, hurt local businesses and justified fears that government officials would abuse their power during this long emergency.
This, according to Beacon Center of Tennessee spokesman Mark Cunningham. Cunningham responded to a FOX 17 of Nashville report that suggested Cooper and his staff members kept secret the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases coming out of the bars and restaurants in the city’s lower Broadway area.
Beacon is a Nashville-based right-of-center think tank.
Cunningham told The Tennessee Star Thursday that, with this news, every bar in the city should open back up.
“The issue is that the data had showed very few cases from bars, and he knew that and he shut them down anyway. That’s the bombshell. He [Cooper] knew that there wasn’t an issue with the bars, yet he shut them down,” Cunningham said.
“Science only seems to follow the CDC recommendations when it fits his preconceived agenda, and he’s just had this vendetta against bars. Despite the contrary evidence, he basically has cost business owners, performers, and employees of their livelihoods with numbers that were contradictory to what he was saying publicly.”…”

“…Another on-brand topic here is the thorough awfulness of the American mainstream political media. Wanted in all fifty states for the murder of ethical journalism, the MSM is once again working overtime to help get a Democratic presidential candidate elected despite said candidate’s myriad flaws.
At the beginning of the month I wrote that I didn’t think that the media could prop up Joe Biden until the election.
I may have underestimated the hacks who pollute the MSM.
An integral part of propping up Grandpa Gropes is attacking President Trump, of course. On Tuesday night¸ President Trump subjected himself to a town hall on ABC that was hosted by former Clinton administration flack, George Stephanopoulos. My HotAir colleague Karen Townsend watched and had some observations:
I confess, I watched. Going into it, my expectations were low. I was not disappointed. The event was even worse than I thought it would be. The participants were allegedly uncommitted voters though, after listening to their questions, that description is impossible to believe. It was easy to assume that all but possibly two of the very small audience are Biden voters. The voters were identified by name and for whom they voted in 2016 if they voted at all.
The question that kept popping up for me was whether or not the people had been coached by ABC staffers before the town hall began. I say that because the overt hostility and aggressive line of questioning were unusual, even for Trump opponents. This is 2020, though, and clearly any form of civil behavior is to be set aside if political points can be made, especially against the president. For example, I have never seen a person stand up and ask a question of any president at a town hall and while doing so, rudely not allow him to respond until she permitted it. Ellesia Blaque, an assistant professor from Philadelphia with preexisting conditions, asked a question about Obamacare. As she did so, Trump began to respond but she shut him down. “Please stop and let me finish my question, sir,” she said. She voted for Hillary in 2016.
My mom called me as soon as it was over to go on about how awful Stephanopoulos was.
I felt it was important to pass along my mother’s opinion. It’s Friday, we can free-form a little. Also, I’m a good son.
Last night, CNN — aka The Official Broadcast Wing of the Democratic National Committee — hosted Joe Biden for an hour-long forum. This affair was a bit more cuddly than the president’s time with ABC. Even so, Slurry Joe struggled with things like English and his own policies.
Bronson Stocking has more at Townhall:
Joe Biden praised the idea of incorporating fact-checkers into the presidential debates, but those desperately needed fact-checkers were nowhere to be found at CNN’s town hall event with Biden on Thursday.
In stark contrast to President Trump’s town hall event with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos earlier this week, CNN’s Anderson Cooper and a crowd of mostly friendly supporters took turns asking the 77-year-old candidate softball questions.
Biden told all sorts of lies during the one-hour event on CNN, a fitting location for such fake news. Biden lied when he accused President Trump of not mentioning the coronavirus in his State of the Union Address.
“My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat,” Trump said in his State of the Union Address, which Nancy Pelosi ripped up in anger.
There were a couple of Kabuki theater moments that CNN staged to try and make things seem legit. Host Anderson Cooper briefly pressed Biden on the fact that he’s been all over the place on the fracking issue, for example. Biden gave a barely-coherent answer and Cooper let it go. That’s a classic MSM ruse with Democrats. The interviewer will hit the Dem with the “hard question,” then accept virtually any answer and leave it at that…”
