Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), expressed support for a national mask mandate earlier this week in an interview on CNBC. On Friday, Dr. Fauci said parents should take the initiative to ensure their children are wearing them as part of their costumes. “As I always joke around when people ask me, I don’t want to be the Grinch that steals Halloween and the Grinch that steals Thanksgiving,” said Dr. Fauci to Survivor Corps, a group focused on fighting coronavirus. “But I would really be careful about having kids just going from...

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who works for the US Postal Service. They were told today that ANY Pennsylvania mail ballot that arrives in a mailbox or anyplace else in the system must be forwarded to election officials by EXPRESS MAIL. They've been given a corporate account number for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and each ballot that arrives must be placed in the overnight envelope and forwarded (at a cost of twenty-six bucks to the taxpayer!) This includes fistfulls of ballots dropped in street mailboxes. Postal workers are having to repackage them and send...

Boris Johnson is expected to announce a national lockdown next week after his scientific advisers told him it was the only way to save Christmas. Scientists from the Sage committee yesterday presented No 10 with bleak figures showing that Covid is spreading 'significantly' faster than even their original 'worst-case scenario' prediction. Last night a Cabinet source told the Mail that the dramatic move will be announced next week. It was not clear exactly what form the new lockdown would take, or what would be ordered to close or how long it would last.

"That's the end to Minnesota Nice!" my Norwegian husband exploded upon hearing Minnesota Governor Walz banished 25,000 Trump supporters to a cold field in Rochester, MN. But nothing stops hardy Minnesotans from going out to meet their beloved President and nothing stops President Trump from greeting his people. As a beautiful gold-and-magenta Minnesota sunset kissed the sky, the Beast whisked President Trump straight from Airforce One to the non-dictator-sanctioned, "illegal" crowd of 25,000 banished from the approved rally area. And we loved him for it. "He's always a class act," I told Michael. President Trump took his time too. In...

Tampon brand Tampax sparked a firestorm on social media after it said that “not all people with periods are women.” The company, owned by Procter & Gamble, shared the message on Sept. 15, but it has recently sparked fierce debate and gone viral — with some bashing the company for alienating biological women. SNIP “This ad is misogynistic and advocates erasing women. So goodbye 4ever!!!” one critic wrote. Others slammed the message as “anti-woman.”

A Washington Post story wrongly claimed the Trump administration accused Billie Eilish of “destroying our country” — then spread like wildfire among the entertainment industry. The article on Thursday — in part about hundreds of celebrities being vetted for a Trump administration coronavirus ad campaign — included a misattributed quote from the White House about Eilish. SNIP The flub was picked up by Vice editor Jill Krajewski, who noted that “an embarrassing number of music outlets” including Complex, NME, Consequence of Sound and The Fader aggregated the misreported Washington Post story.

The election is days away. No one knows if there will be an orderly turnover or the disorderly donut hole of malevolent maneuverings. The nation is divided and civil unrest is in the air. This follows a summer which was prophetically and perennially summed up in “Trouble Every Day,” a song from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention’s 1966 debut album Freak Out! “Wednesday I watched the riot,” Zappa sings on the song he wrote after seeing the Watts Uprising of 1965. “I seen the cops out on the street. Watched ’em throwin’ rocks and stuff, and chokin’ in...

Received this text asking me to join their cause “This is Jackie a vet with the progressive org Common Defense. We’re organizing vets in DC for after the election to make sure every vote is counted. Are you a fellow veteran against Trump?” My number is somehow up on Democrat group texts. I get stuff all the time. This person left a link stating this evnwilk last from Nov 4-7 and a section to fill in my info.

WASHINGTON — Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter talk every day, typically a fast check-in initiated by the Democratic presidential nominee, often from the back of a car between campaign stops. Although Mr. Biden tries to touch base with his two grown children and five grandchildren once a day, doling out “I love yous,” Hunter is a special case. “My only surviving son,” is how the former vice president refers to his “Hunt,” whose battles with addiction have made for a long-running high-wire act within the Biden universe. The stresses of Mr. Biden’s presidential campaign have made an...

do not have any food or drink in your mouth when you watch this

by Laurie Azgard Great news everybody! Zach Vorhies the whistleblower who was interviewed by Project Veritas over Google election meddling or censorship, has decided to tweet about the case of Brian D. Hill of USWGO Alternative News. The article about the change of venue in Brian’s case was what was being covered on Twitter by Zach. Article: U.S. Probation Office asks for change of venue; Judge Schroeder reluctantly agreed to change of venue without protest in USWGO Brian Hill’s case Zach Vorhies has taken the step like ActivistPost and We Are Change had done and covered Brian’s story.

Police in Paris have begun carrying out checks on shoppers to ensure they are not flouting France's new national lockdown laws which came into effect at midnight. The pictures from today offered a stark contrast to just a week ago when people could still freely move around the city during the day while bars and restaurants serving food remained open before the 9pm curfew.

Tony Bobulinski is lashing out at the media for undercutting his allegation that former Vice President Joe Biden was involved in his youngest son Hunter’s business dealings. Bobulinski, a one-time business associate of Hunter Biden, released a statement to Breitbart News and other outlets on Friday criticizing the media for suggesting his claims, and the corresponding documentation he has provided, are illegitimate. “I would like to make clear that the emails, text messages, and other evidence that I have provided came from my own phones or computers and that those documents have been authenticated by an independent, nationally recognized forensic...

Editor's note: This article contains offensive language. You may have heard that a large, unpermitted, Black Lives Matter protest occurred over the weekend in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Perhaps you've seen the flyer that circulated around social media claiming "We are going to F### S### up in Lake Oswego" But where did it start, and why Lake Oswego? According to the Lake Oswego School District, an anonymous letter was sent to a home, displaying a window painting that stated "Silence Supports Police Violence." The letter sent anonymously, signed "your neighbors", asks for the painting to come down, and to respect the...

There are a number of problems with the polling industry, but the biggest problem they are dealing with is response rate. Prior to 2000, polling was done primarily through random dial landline calling and they would get a response rate of 50%. That means half the people they contacted would answer their questions. The response rate today is 2%. 98 out of every 100 attempts to reach a voter is rejected. Of those that do respond, there is a very high sampling bias toward young, female, white Democrats. One of the pollsters I admire right now is Rich Baris, and...

A 33-year-old self-professed “Proud Boy” was arrested Wednesday by the Dickinson Police Department on C-Felony Terrorizing charges after sending an anonymous email to The Dickinson Press in which he conveyed a bomb threat, targeting a voting location in the city. Anthony A. Raymond of Dickinson was arrested and incarcerated at the Southwest Multi-County Correction Center after a prompt investigation administered by Dickinson Police Detectives. The anonymous email threat was received by The Press Wednesday afternoon. The email stated, “I will blow up the voting location in Stark Co.,” and it was signed by “The Proud Boys.” The Proud Boys claim...

PELOSI: “But we are ready. I feel very confident that Joe Biden will be elected president on Tuesday. Whatever the end count is, but on the election that occurs on Tuesday, he will be elected, on January 20th he will be inaugurated president of the United States. So while we don’t want to be overconfident or assume anything, we have to be ready for how we’re going to go down a different path.”

San Francisco’s hotels and motels are slowly emptying of the homeless people that the city placed there during the Covid-19 pandemic. The city simply can’t afford the $260 per night, per person, price tag of housing approximately 2,000 people—just a portion of the estimated 8,000 people who live on the street. Where will they go? Elected officials have come up with a new plan: turn the whole city into a network of homeless encampments. In June, city officials and departments developed a list of 42 potential sites that could be equipped with spaces for tents and mobile bathrooms. The urban...

It’s time for me to announce my prediction for the 2020 presidential election. I was right on the money in 2016 and in 2018 for the mid-term elections, and I did it without the aid of the polls which, as I discovered, are totally useless. Instead, I rely on the voting data received from the Florida Board of Elections which routinely updates their numbers, thereby providing me with the means to study trends... ... As we approach election day next week, the Republicans will find themselves in the lead, and will likely turn out in record numbers on election day...
