VIDEO They hit the Panic Button at the Morning Joe show due to Joe Biden's campaign taking an extended lid day (aka doing nothing) during the campaign. Yeah, voters expect their candidates and campaigns to at least make something of an effort which is lacking in the Biden campaign. Already the polls are beginning to reflect that almost complete lack of energy in the Biden campaign. Are they relying on Silicon Valley billionaires to save the day for them? p.s. I just now found out that Joe Biden took ANOTHER Lid today. "Trump mocks Biden for calling 'a lid'...

Ballots typically would be counted if they are postmarked by Election Day and received up to three days afterward, but this year ballots will be accepted up to 17 days after Election Day, Padilla said.

The granddaughter of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Clara Spera, claims that among the final words of Justice Ginsburg were these: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." I do not know Ms. Spera, nor do I necessarily believe that Justice Ginsburg said these words. Watching my own parents die from cancer, one thing I distinctly recall is that worldly matters no longer concerned them in the final weeks of their lives. My father had been an intellectual, politically engaged, current events-oriented man his entire life. Every day he...

In a June 13 conversation between Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors and BLM-Los Angeles chapter co-founder Melina Abdullah, Abdullah discusses how the two of them have "become very intimate with the spirits we call on regularly," and Cullors talks about how using a hashtag for BLM is "almost resurrecting a spirit so that it can work through us." "We’re invoking” our ancestors, states Abdullah. The conversation between the two Black Lives Matter activists took place after a live performance art event by Cullors entitled "A Prayer for the Runner." The performance was sponsored as part of June Pride...

Republican voter registration is surging in Florida narrowing a historical Democratic advantage in the swing state ahead of the Nov. 3 election. In August, Republicans added a GOP record of about 58,000 new voters, Politico reported, or 41 percent more than new Democrats in Florida. “Florida looking good!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning after the story published. Polls suggest that Trump dramatically increased his support among Florida Latinos as he denounces Latin American socialism, but he’s at risk of a dramatic loss of support among senior citizens amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump will host a rally in Jacksonville, Florida, on Thursday...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Russian Billionaire wired Hunter Biden 3 1/2 Million Dollars. This on top of all of the other money he received while Joe was V.P. Crooked as can be, but Fake Mainstream Media wants it to just go away! 12:36 PM · Sep 24, 2020

“We’re going to have to see what happens,” Trump said at a news conference, responding to a question about whether he’d commit to a peaceful transfer of power. “You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.” Trump campaign reportedly ‘discussing contingency plans to bypass election results’: https://theweek.com/speedreads/939191/trump-campaign-reportedly-discussing-contingency-plans-bypass-election-results

He’s giving a whole new meaning to “Morning Joe.” With just 40 days until the presidential election, Joe Biden’s campaign called a lid at the early hour of 9 a.m. Thursday — meaning the Democratic nominee won’t be holding any public events for the rest of the day. Biden’s campaign blasted out the email at 9:20 a.m., announcing the 77-year-old Democratic nominee would spend the day hunkered down in the Wilmington, Delaware, home where he has been sequestered for much of the coronavirus pandemic. His running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), also has no public events.

Late-night comedians got serious on Wednesday following a Kentucky grand jury’s decision to not indict the police officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. The grand jury’s decision ignited widespread protests and violence throughout Louisville, with demonstrations cropping up in other cities across the country. In Louisville, two police officers were shot amid the rioting. Officials said the two cops are in stable condition and the suspect is in custody.

Two officers who were shot while downtown responding to protests in the wake of the Breonna Taylor decision are expected to be OK. Louisville Metro Police Department interim Chief Rob Schroeder gave an update Thursday on the shooting that happened the evening prior that resulted in to LMPD officers receiving gunshot wounds. One of the officers shot is Mjr. Aubrey Gregory, who has been one of the leaders in the department's efforts during protests. "Some would call him the bedrock of those efforts," Schroeder said. He's the commander of the special operations division and was leading on the ground Wednesday...

The daughter of Marion Zimmer Bradley discusses “The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon”

Former NFL player and “Speak for Yourself” sports commentator Marcellus Wiley slammed critics who told him he was “wrong for misinterpreting” the mission of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement after BLM removed a page from its website critical of the “Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.” “Heard too many people tell me that I was wrong for misinterpreting BLM’s mission statement and I took their words out of context,” Wiley tweeted out on Monday. “You were saying???” he wrote, adding the hashtags “#factsoverfeelings #apologyaccepted.” He also posted a video of him blasting BLM’s now-deleted “mission statement” against the nuclear family.

You wouldn’t know it unless you looked under a few rocks, but cash from liberal billionaire George Soros is very much involved in the “defund the police” movement. Just don’t expect Politico to be too forthcoming about it in its skewed reporting. In one of its latest bits of left-wing propaganda, Politico pushed a disgusting story headlined “New racial justice target: Defund the police foundations.” Justice? The sub-headline was just as bad: “Racial justice advocates are calling on corporations to sever their relationships with police foundations.” The “advocates” are from the radical left-wing group Color of Change, which is funded...

In Saqqara, in Ankhmahon’s tomb, Visir of the Pharaoh Teti Dynasty (c. 2345 BCE) there is a bas-relief with a representation of circumcision. Below is a papyrus illustrating the operation in vivid color. Have you ever wondered what the oldest illustration of a circumcision looked like? Of course you haven’t, but we’ll tell you anyway. A bas-relief—a type of sculptural technique in which the sculpted elements remain attached to their background—dating back to 2,400 BCE and depicting two men being circumcised was found in an Egyptian tomb built for Ankhmahor, a high-ranking official during the sixth dynasty of Egypt. The...

EXCERPT Despite the decision by the Grand Jury Best Buy Corporation sent out an email to employees defending the mob, criticizing the grand jury and offering time off to those employees who need to mourn the court’s decision.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional leaders from both parties, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, swiftly pushed back Thursday after President Donald Trump declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 presidential election. Trump said during a Wednesday news conference, “We’re going to have to see what happens,” responding to a question about committing to the results. “You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.” McConnell and other leaders of Trump’s Republican Party had no hesitation in committing to an...

I know we’re in the final stages of a presidential election. I know we have a SCOTUS fight ahead of us. But we have to settle this right now. Did Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) poop his pants? Seriously, have you seen the clip? The man looks like he straight-up ‘sharted’ and tried to get away from centerstage as quickly as possible without evidence of his accident spilling into the public view.

Costco has reportedly stopped selling Palmetto Cheese after the owner of the pimento cheese brand called Black Lives Matter a "terror organization." The warehouse club pulled Palmetto Cheese, which had been sold in more than 120 of its stores, after Brian Henry, the founder of Palmetto Cheese and mayor of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, drew criticism for writing in a Facebook post on August 25 that he was "sickened by the senseless killings in Georgetown," according to news reports.

In this classic Free To Choose Network footage (1978), Milton Friedman takes three questions from an audience member and crushes them all. The real problem is, that as we move from the local community to the state, from the state to the Federal government, it becomes increasingly difficult for us to control the mechanism we have established and that mechanism tends to control us. That was the great wisdom of the founding fathers of this country, of the people who wrote the Constitution. That constitution was designed to limit government’s powers in order to preserve the freedom of the individual,...

The claim that carbon dioxide (CO2) can increase air temperatures by "trapping" infrared radiation (IR) ignores the fact that in 1909 physicist R.W. Wood disproved the popular 19th Century thesis that greenhouses stayed warm by trapping IR. Unfortunately, many people who claim to be scientists are unaware of Wood's experiment which was originally published in the Philosophical magazine , 1909, vol 17, p319-320. Philosophical Magazine might not sound like the name of a science publication, but a century ago leading scientists published their discoveries in it. During the early 19th Century many physicists supported the theory postulated by Benjamin Franklin...
