 PJ Media: Investigators in South Florida discovered an attempt to register “dozens of dead people as Democratic voters,” in Broward County,  reports  the  Washington Times .   According to the report, “no mail-in ballots were requested or cast under the falsified IDs.” Election officials say an individual in South Carolina mailed 51 new voter applications to the Broward County elections office in the summer. Thankfully, the registrations were flagged as suspicious and turned over to the local state attorney’s office. Officials have so far been unable to determine who mailed the bogus registrations, which had no return address and were sent in 19 envelopes. Thirty of the 51 applications were verified to have been made for people who are deceased, while the remaining registrations were unverifiable. “This is an organized effort by someone who knew a little bit about Florida law but not a lot and had a scheme to either undermine the Florida registration system wit...

 Red States: Project Veritas has decided to take on the role of Dragon Slayer and has sued the New York Times for defamation in connection with the NYT’s coverage of the PV undercover operation to expose naked vote fraud in the Somali community in Minneapolis.   The   complaint was filed yesterday   in Westchester County, New York, names the NY Times and reporters Maggie Astor and Tiffany Hsu as Defendants based on reporting which called the Project Veritas operation a “disinformation campaign”, and claimed that the undercover video posted by Project Veritas confirming the allegations of its story was “deceptive”. This defamation action arises out of the publication of a false and defamatory news story authored by Defendant Maggie Astor, a politics reporter for the New York Times, and published in both the online and print versions of The Times. The story was first published on The New York Times website on September 29, 2020 with the headline, “Project Veritas Video...

  NY Times: Navy Commandos Rescue American Kidnapped in Niger U.S. Special Operations forces conducted a predawn raid in neighboring Nigeria to free the American before he could be sold to terrorists. I am guessing that this was an operation by a SEAL unit. They are very good at this sort of operation. Epoch Times has much more on the operation by SEAL Team 6 to free Philip Walton.

  NY Times: Trump Is Said to Set Aside Career Intelligence Briefer to Hear From Advisers Instead For weeks, the director of national intelligence has taken over a job usually done by an intelligence officer. I can understand Trump's distrust of intelligence professionals since so many of them were participating in the coup attempt with the false narrative about Russian collusion.  It should take some time for the agencies to regain credibility.  It was one of the more disgraceful periods by a government agency in history.  I think John Brennan was largely responsible for it.  His false assertion that Trump was a "Russian asset" disgraced the whole operation.

  Making fun of Democrat false memes is hilarious.

 Mark Hemingway: As riots and looting consumed Philadelphia this week after a fatal police shooting, a radical left-wing group, the “Philly Socialists,” began monitoring police scanners and relaying information to help protesters evade arrest. At one point, the Philly Socialists tweeted out a clue as to their street allegiances: “Do humanity a favor and learn what antifa stands for.” The scene in Philadelphia was similar to scores of violent protests around the country since May, which have often featured a common and shadowy element – black-masked men and women who seemed as intent on breaking windows and confronting the police as chanting social justice slogans. The one thing most people can agree on is these people have a name – “antifa,” short for anti-fascists. But larger questions – who are they? where did they come from? what do they want? – have been lost in the battle of partisan politics. President Trump has denounced antifa as an organized terror group, like the Ku Klu...

  Fox News: Austin sees spikes in violent crime, officer retirements after defund police vote   Violent crime, office retirements surge in Austin after defund the police vote The "defund the police" movement has to be one of the dumbest political policies in history.  Siding with the criminals is never a smart move.  Everyone who voted for this travesty should be voted out of office at the next election.

 Andrea Widburg: Before Trump took office, conventional wisdom was that American blacks would never vote Republican.  As Lyndon Johnson reputedly said after passing the Civil Rights Act, "I'll have those n------ voting Democratic for the next 200 years."  It didn't matter that Democrats broke their promises or that their policies worsened the plight of inner-city blacks.  Black voters remained loyal.  This year, though, after Trump spent four years making a positive difference for black America, blacks are breaking ranks and openly supporting President Trump. Thomas Sowell wrote in 2016 , shortly before Trump was elected, "Black votes matter.  If Republicans could get 20 percent of black votes, the Democrats would be ruined."  He added, though, "This is highly unlikely, given the approach used by Republicans." Thankfully, Trump jettisoned the traditional Republican approach to blacks, which was to ignore them.  H...

 Eric Utter: A free press is essential to a democratic republic.  Our Founders knew this in their marrow.  Unfortunately, as recent events have proven, we no longer have one.  Bizarrely, those in the mainstream media have  muzzled themselves , locked their minds and souls in a prison of their own making, and relinquished their integrity for power and the affirmation of their peers.  They will not hold their own feet to the fire.  They won't speak truth to themselves. They may not even realize what it is any longer. Today, the "Fourth Estate" literally wouldn't report it if they came across information  proving  that  Joe Biden  was a Russian stooge, though they've spent years trying to find evidence that President Trump might be.  (Biden  is , apparently, a stooge for  China .)  In light of their breathtakingly universal — and steadfast —  refusal to report  on th...

 Todd Henderson: The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to be the ninth justice on the Supreme Court has intensified calls by Democrats to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court if Joe Biden wins the presidency. (But, interestingly, not if he doesn't.) In an interview with "60 Minutes," Biden characterized the issue as "a live ball," while Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted, "Expand the Court" in the wake of Barrett's confirmation. But there is a fatal flaw in Democrats' plan to "pack" the Court if they win—it is plainly unconstitutional. The Constitution says very little about the judicial branch. Article III, Section 1 states, "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court." It does not say how many members the Court should have. A person committed to the plain text of the original Constitution might reasonably conclude that the Court can have any number of members....

  Rush Limbaugh: Bobulinski Interview Confirms Biden Corruption Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt   I hope a number of you saw   Tucker Carlson’s interview last night with Tony Bobulinski . We have some audio sound bites from it if you didn’t. I think the best way to sum it up is that it is now beyond a shadow of a doubt that Joe Biden knew. Joe Biden has lied through his aging teeth each time he has said that he never spoke to his son about any of the business dealings his son had with companies or agents in China or Ukraine, or it turns out any number of other places. Biden has been lying from the get-go about this. And now this is beyond a shadow of a doubt. Joe knew, he had to have known, and common sense would tell us that he knew. He set it up. It was Joe Biden’s name that provided all of the credibility anybody needed. Joe Biden’s family was set up to reap huge financial rewards for providing influence for the ChiCom government, Chinese agencies and companies, and ditto ...

 Washington Examiner: President Trump's reelection campaign slammed "free speech stifling dictates" in Minnesota that will limit attendance at a Friday evening rally, billing the move as a partisan shot by the state's Democratic leadership. "Trump will be speaking to the people assembled there, but he will also be speaking directly to every citizen who lives in one of these Democratic lockdown states," Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh told reporters on a call. "Now, the president wants everyone to be safe and take precautions, but he knows that we need to keep reopening America. Biden represents lockdown, along with the Democratic governors in the states," he added. The Trump campaign lashed out at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, both Democrats, late Thursday over directives to restrict attendance at the Friday rally.   The notice came after Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden announced a socially ...

  Epoch Times: Trump administration adviser and economist  Peter Navarro  on Friday stated that  NBA  athletes and  Hollywood  celebrities are “useful idiots” of the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ), suggesting the Democrats are unwittingly playing into the hands of the Chinese regime. Navarro, while saying that he will “never ever watch an NBA game again,” told The Epoch Times’ “American Though Leaders” that athletes are reticent to speak out about the Chinese regime because they are beholden to its interests. “They shut up and dribble when they’re over in China,” he said but added that there are “sweatshops in China” that “make sneakers for their stars” and “sell [them] back to American kids.” His comments came as the NBA season wrapped up several weeks ago, with the Los Angeles Lakers winning another championship. However, ratings for the NBA Finals hit  record lows,  and  polls  have suggested that NBA players’ pro-Black Liv...

 Jeff Dunetz: For the second time during this campaign, Joe Biden has broken a basic rule of American politics, never use the Holocaust or any of its related terms such as Nazis, or Hitler, for political warfare. In September, he compared Trump to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels in a speech. Now he has used footage of Nazi dictator and mass murderer Adolf Hitler in a new campaign ad attacking President Donald Trump.  Biden-harris uses Hitler footage This move was offensive to Jews and anyone else who had relatives who suffered at the hand of the Nazis. It belittles the memory of the Holocaust and the suffering of the victims (some of whom were my relatives).  It ignores lessons we should learn from that terribly dark chapter of history. Per  LatestMediaNews ...   In Biden’s  ad , the former vice president speaks straight to camera, repeating the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax — the false claim that President Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine ...

 Red States: ...   As reported by the   CBS affiliate in Austin , the 3-day “Soul of the Nation” began on Wednesday, with planned stops in Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene, Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, and elsewhere across the state. According to the Biden campaign, the tour was scheduled to include appearances by members of the Texas congressional delegation, elected officials, Democratic candidates, and other “special guests.” It’s safe to assume that one of those “special guests” will  not be  the Democrat presidential nominee, himself, given that Biden is most likely holed up in his basement, as we speak, for fear of being asked questions about the ongoing Ukraine-China email scandal surrounding him and his gadfly son, Hunter. While the bus tour idea looked good on paper to Team Joe, things began to turn out not quite like they had expected — with an ever-growing “Trump Train” following the bus everywhere it went. By the time the caravan got to Missouri City, Texa...

 

  Mollie Hemingway: Yes, Media Are Rigging The Election Against Half The Country. Here’s How   Will all this be enough for mass media to win the day? People will find out next week. The media is ignoring legitimate coverage of Biden's corruption and vulnerability and covering up what looks like criminal activity.  They are so hostile to the President that they refuse to report good news about his campaign and his policies. 

 Federalist: These 12 Graphs Show Mask Mandates Do Nothing To Stop COVID No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows, cases all fall and rise around the same time. There are several graphs in this piece and the one showing a comparison of Texas and Georgia shows that without a mask requirement Georgis did slightly better than Texas with one.

 Monica Showalter: Against a backdrop of Antifa/Black Lives Matter rioting in Philadelphia, police found what looks like a truck bomb, an abandoned truck left in the middle of the street loaded with explosives, which, if they had gone off, could  have been disastrous .  PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — An investigation is underway in Philadelphia after police find explosives and other suspicious cargo inside a van at Logan Circle on Wednesday night. Action News has learned that police recovered propane tanks, torches and possible dynamite sticks from the van. The bomb squad is investigating. There is no immediate word on who owns the van or if anyone has been arrested. The discovery comes as the city remains on heightened alert following nights of unrest stemming from the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr. If it is what it looks like, it signals that the domestic terrorists' war on America is going to a newer and much more dangerous level.  A wor...

 Tony Senatore: One of the most enduring prevarications emanating from the left during the presidency of Donald Trump is the idea that he is a self-styled authoritarian strongman in the tradition of Mussolini and Hitler.  Political commentators such as media personality  Rachel Maddow  and economic adviser  Robert Reich  were among the earliest purveyors of this sort of fiction, dating back to 2015 and 2017, respectively.  In 2020, journalists like Matthew C. MacWilliams and others like him who continue to write through the lens of true anti-Trump delirium have continued to make the case that authoritarianism is a phenomenon that can originate only from the right and that America, specifically Trump-supporters, is " predisposed to authoritarianism ."  After four years of the Trump presidency, it is evident to those of us who do not suffer from  TDS  that if President Trump is an authoritarian dictator, he is an ineffectual...

  Legal Insurrection: Alleged Whitmer Kidnap Plotter Wanted to Hang Trump, Other Republican Politicians   This man is the second one in the plot who hated Trump. I bet the others hated Trump and Republicans. They appear to be antagonistic toward elected officials in general, but Whitmer has still been blaming Trump .
