[What no one talks about is the blatant fact that Joe Biden is now America’s Manchurian candidate as his platform has migrated from ‘bipartisan civility’ to hard left socialism.  That ol’ Bumblebrain is the ‘safe alternative’ to Trump and will bring the country back on even keel is perhaps the biggest lie that the Dems and their lamestream are foisting on Americans.  Joe has made a bait and switch pact with the devil, and is now our proto-communist candidate a la Bernie and AOC, having publicly accepted and promised to implement their respective policy prescriptions.  And no one knows or even cares about it, as the Hate Trump campaign outshouts all else.  (more here) gjr]

    “This friend never mentioned “Barry Soetoro” and according to Reuters Fact Check, it is a false story…”
    There’s probably a couple of trillion things I’ve never mentioned.
    So – they don’t exist or aren’t true.

    Just found this one:
    https://idahonews.com/news/local/oregon-state-parks-adds-30-charge-to-non-state-campers
    Get this quote: “We love serving all people, no matter where they live,” says Lisa Sumption, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Director. “Even so, this temporary change is needed to remind people to stay as close to home as possible while enjoying the outdoors, and to provide much-needed support for the Oregon state park system, which faces a projected $22 million shortfall between now and June 2021.”
    So – they want us to not show up, but if you do – we’re broke and we’ll hose you for the money we need to show you how much we don’t want you to show up.
    I think I get it. Because Oregon is so diverse and welcoming, you have to be charged extra for the crime of visiting their state.
    Guess where I’m not going?
    Because – “this temporary change is needed to remind people to stay as close to home as possible while enjoying the outdoors…”
    As close to home as possible?
    Do these people even think about what they say?
    So – Oregon does welcome us as long as we have more than the usual amount of money.
    I feel so welcome.

    Biden Tells Staffers To Pick Any Black Person For VP ‘Since They All Think The Same Anyway’

    WILMINGTON, DE—According to sources within the Joe Biden campaign, staffers have been instructed to pick “any black person” for vice president, “since they all think the same anyway.”
    He made the comment while in a strategy meeting with aides in his basement.
    “Just nab any old black person — they’re all pretty much interchangeable,” Biden reportedly told his aides. “That Stacey chick, the Kamala cop lady, heck, get Denzel Washington for all I care. Any of them are fine. And poor VP candidates are almost as bright as white ones.”
    “I had a black friend once, you know. Barry. Really great guy. Very clean and articulate.”
    Aides were then able to distract him by giving him a paddleball to play with while they went upstairs to try to do some damage control from whatever the latest racist or sexist thing he said was.

    “The president said that Democrats had proposed changes in voting laws that would open up voting in 2020 to fraud, including eliminating voter ID and signature verification and enacting universal mail-in voting.
    “You [know] what it’s about? Fraud,” Trump said. “They want to try and steal this election, because frankly, it’s the only way they can win the election.”
    The president also warned that Democrats wanted to include stimulus payment checks for illegal aliens, the release of inmates, and the release of illegal aliens in custody.
    “What does this have to do with stimulus of the economy?” Trump asked in disbelief. “What does this have to do with the coronavirus?” ”

    Good read about the foreign policy disasters of Susan Rice.
    You know, a good part of the reason Paul E. did not vote for Barry the second time is because Paul was opposed to Barry’s meddling in foreign wars/conflicts and that droning of a US citizen had to be on his mind. With all the excitement of the Arab Spring happening, why did we get involved with Libya and other hell holes? The party of War, even when leading from behind.
    With that out of the way, again a good article and let’s see if Paul Emery will support Susan Rice for Biden’s VP with her record now on notice:

    Note: Why did no U.S. paper think it worthwhile to publish the body-cam video, to provide more background information in the Floyd death? Why do we have to get information from overseas sources?

    “A Washington, D.C. police officer is “fighting for her life” after being shot during an early morning incident that left at least one teenager dead and dozens of others sent to the hospital, Police Chief Peter Newsham said at a press conference Sunday.
    Police responded to reports of shots fired shortly before 1 a.m. in the 3300 block of Dubois Place in a residential neighborhood in southeast Washington. Newsham said 20 people total were wounded at the scene. At least 11 of the victims were female.
    Christopher “Poppy” Brown, 17, was shot and pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, Fox 5 DC reported. An off-duty DC Metro police officer was shot and is “struggling for her life right now,” Newsham told reporters at the scene alongside D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.”

    One more thing ECO beger, some “vigilantism” just might be called for.
    “This resolution has an interesting, balanced subject hidden behind a word that is
    loaded with meaning. “Vigilantism” is commonly referred to as “taking the law
    into one’s own hands.” When some people imagine a group of vigilantes they
    imagine a lynch mob, and the assumption is that the vigilantes are out-of-control
    anarchists with no regard for the law. But the wording of the resolution makes it
    clear that the circumstance in which we are analyzing vigilantism is one in which
    the government has failed to do its job of enforcing the law (assuming that enforcing the law is one of the jobs of the government). If a law is on the books, and for
    one reason or another the officials of government do not enforce that law, can people who are not the officials of government enforce that law? With that context in
    mind, this may be an interesting and balanced question. We just have to get past
    the negative connotations of vigilantism.”

    More bad news for the TDS set –
    Biden’s lead over Trump in the Real Clear Politics poll average has dropped almost four points since June 23, when it was 10.2 percent.
    Momentum appears to be moving towards Trump recently in the key battleground states as well, as Breitbart News reported earlier this month:
    A Restoration PAC poll released Wednesday revealed a positive trend for the president, who appears to be gradually closing the gap on Joe Biden’s sizeable lead in the key Rust Belt states Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
    The latest survey, taken July 13 – 27 among 600 likely voters in each state, showed President Trump narrowing the gap in each state compared to June’s results, which had the former vice president up by double-digits in every state.
    A new poll released this weekend shows President Donald Trump, the incumbent GOP president, has taken a national and battleground states lead over his Democrat challenger presumptive nominee former Vice President Joe Biden.
    The survey, from the Democracy Institute commissioned by the Sunday Express newspaper, shows Trump leading Biden 48 percent to 46 percent. What’s more, Trump has opened up a bigger lead according to this poll in the crucial battleground states, meaning the president by this pollster’s estimates currently is projected to win 309 electoral votes—more than he did in 2016.
    With less than three months until election day, President Trump currently sits in a better position to win in 2020 against Joe Biden on August 9, 2020, when he trails by 6.4 points, than he did at a similar point in time in the 2016 presidential contest, August 9, 2016, against Hillary Clinton, when he trailed by 7.6 points in the Real Clear Politics poll average.
