[That our news media have no desire to follow-up the Hunter Biden email revelations of Biden family corruption is a bigger untold story than anything else so far connected with this sordid affair.  And that includes the (non)response of the FBI and the 50 former intelligence officials' successful attempt to disseminate fake news about the provenance of the emails on Hunter's laptop (here).  As far as our lamestream media are concerned, the US is now officially a banana republic in how its citizens are fed 'information' that they are to believe.  And no one, not the Republicans nor Fox News, is making much beyond clucking their tongues at what appears to be a super-scandal stillborn.  gjr]

    “A Trump supporter with an “Official Democrat Cemetery Vote Collector” hearse tailed a Biden campaign bus in Houston on Thursday, leading to the vehicle running at least one red light in an attempt to get away.”
    Do Repubs have a great sense of humor or what??
    Now what makes a Proggy think a bus will outrun that “stiff” mobile?

    re Walt 210pm – Yep, follow the Biden bus, pull into the nearby cemetary, get a few fresh names off the tombstones, mark the ample supply of onboard mail-in ballots, and drop ’em in the nearest vote- or mailbox. Joe loves ’em all; whether still here, or in the great beyond.

    Not even trying to fair —
    Sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that WPVI-ABC in Philadelphia declined to air the ad without providing an explanation for the decision. As a result, Restoration PAC took the ad blitz to other stations.
    “This is part of a startling and dangerous effort by the liberal media to interfere in the 2020 election by censoring legitimate information the American people have a right to know before Election Day,” Doug Truax, Restoration PAC’s founder and president, said in a statement.
    The ad in question specifically focuses on the former vice president telling reporters in September 2019, “I have never spoken with my son about his overseas business dealings.”
    “He lied to America. He said he never talked to his son about his business dealings with Ukraine and China maybe because he doesn’t want you to know it looks like he’s skimming money from his son’s influence peddling,” the narrator said as the ad appealed to a collection of evidence indicating otherwise, stemming from what President Trump has dubbed the “laptop from hell.”
    “All of Washington, Big Tech, and the liberal media is trying to hide this from you. There’s one way to stop all this insanity: vote Donald Trump,” the ad concludes:
    The news follows a wave of criticism against Big Tech, which quickly moved to censor and suppress the New York Post’s original bombshell report indicating Biden met with an adviser to Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company that paid Hunter tens of thousands of dollars per month.
    “Joe Biden has been blatantly lying about his involvement with his son’s corrupt business dealings,” Trump reacted at the time. “This is a big smoking gun.”

    Yup only an ill informed LIB would cheer when they hear that their taxes will be raised if they vote for the Harris/Biden ticket.

    “I promise you this — as a first order of business, Joe Biden and I are about to work to get rid of that tax cut,” she said to cheers.
    “The cuts practically doubled the standard deduction for singles from $6,350 in 2017 to $12,000 in 2018; nearly doubled the standard deduction for married couples from $12,700 to $24,400; and bumped up the child tax credit from $1,000 in 2017 to $2,000 in 2018.
    Eliminating the Trump tax cuts would slash those deductions on working people and families almost in half — effectively a huge tax increase, since a married couple will be paying federal taxes on $11,700 in income they weren’t paying under the TCJA. For a tax rate of 20 percent, that would be an annual tax increase of around $2300.”
    Even the TROLLS here can’t argue against those facts.

    Did ya hear that there have been snowball fight in hell as peace breakout in the middle east? You would not if you only pay attention to the lamestream –
    Amid all the other headlines, perhaps they could not shoehorn even a mention of this foreign-affairs victory for President Trump.
    Not quite.
    As the Media Research Center reports, ABC spent 2:10 on Gordon Wayne, a teenager who walked 550 miles from Caroline County, Virginia to Boston College in Newton, Mass., to raise money for the homeless. CBS dedicated 2:25 for Steve Hartman’s “On the Road” dispatch about a Georgia woman who sets out mini-meals of human food to nourish local chipmunks. NBC focused for 1:10 on a Texas sheriff’s deputy who resuscitated a 20-day-old baby who stopped breathing — all captured on his official body camera.
    Meadows on Trump administration brokering peace agreement between Israel and SudanVideo
    These are touching, heartwarming tales. Who doesn’t love generous adolescents, cheerful chipmunks, and newborns spared from tragedy? But doesn’t a major step forward overseas merit at least a passing wave from America’s brave news anchors? Why not a few seconds of relevant footage with brief, sonorous voice-overs?
    All we are saying is: Give peace deals a chance.
    “With such news priorities, the networks continue to demonstrate why they have alienated so many who dismiss them as ‘fake news,’” said MRC’s Brent Baker. “Refusing to cede even 10 or 15 seconds to a major peace deal in the Middle East? Just because the president involved is named Trump, and they cannot countenance giving him a win days before the election?”
    That is the really big news here: The three major networks, like most of the dinosaur media, are so diabolically possessed with hatred for Donald J. Trump that they actively conceal virtually anything that shines a positive light on the president — especially as they labor sedulously for his defeat on November 3.
    Such journalistic malpractice helps explains why, on October 23, the day President Trump unveiled the Israel-Sudan agreement, he enjoyed 51 percent job approval among likely voters (compared to 50 percent for Obama on October 23, 2012) according to Rasmussen Reports. Meanwhile, Gallup revealed September 30 that, regarding trust in the mass media, 27 percent of American adults have “not very much” and 33 percent harbor “none at all.”

    The “Hannity” said in his opening monologue that Moore, while the host’s ideological opposite, is “not dumb” and can get a good read on what is happening politically without regard for his personal beliefs.
    Earlier this week, Moore told The Hill TV “don’t believe the polls” that show Democratic nominee Joe Biden leading the incumbent in crucial battleground states.
    “The Trump vote is always being undercounted,” Moore said. “Pollsters, when they actually call the Trump voter — the Trump voter is very suspicious of the ‘Deep State’ calling them and asking them who they’re voting for.
    MICHAEL MOORE DOESN’T BELIEVE THE POLLS SHOWING BIDEN AHEAD OF TRUMP
    “It’s all fake news to them, remember,” Moore said. “It’s not an accurate count.”
    Hannity remarked that Moore must be feeling “deja vu all over again,” a reference to the fact that the “Roger & Me” director was one of the few observers to correctly predict Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016.
    “I have known Michael Moore for years; I don’t get along with him, but we’ve had pleasant debates over the years: He is not stupid and he is on to something,” Hannity said.
    “Both Joe Biden and President Trump visited Minnesota, of all places. But remember, Democrats, pollsters considered this a solid blue state. No Republican won Minnesota since Richard Nixon,” the host explained. “But now the state is clearly in play.”

    This afternoon, President Trump made a campaign stop in Rochester, Minnesota. He was only able to speak in person to 250 people because of a mandate from our leftist Attorney General, but thousands of Trump fans assembled outside the venue. Before the event began, Trump was interviewed on C-Span. He offered his opinion of Minnesota’s Incompetent Blowhard:”

    According to reports, Spanish-speaking supporters of President Trump have recently been targeted by threats over social media.
    Reports on Thursday stated residents in South Florida have started getting messages on ‘WhatsApp‘ chats this week. The messages claimed they’ll be targeted if President Trump loses the election and refuses to concede.
    This also included threats to burn down their houses, similar to messages seen in other states. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) took to Twitter on Friday to state the ‘WhatsApp’ messages that threatened Trump supporters in Florida are indeed fake.

    About that anti semitic trope from the socialist dems –
    A group of 13 prominent Orthodox Jewish leaders released an open letter in support of President Trump over the weekend, praising his administration’s unwavering “commitment to the essential importance of religious entities” as the Trump campaign makes a last-ditch effort to galvanize Jewish voters across the country.
    The letter, which includes the signatures of some of the world’s most senior rabbis spanning several sects of Judaism, lauded the president’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his push to keep open houses of worship.
    PROTESTERS ATTACK ‘JEWS FOR TRUMP’ VEHICLE CONVOY
    “We write to express our deepest gratitude to you, Mr. President, especially in light of your recent declaration that houses of worship should be considered ‘essential,’” the letter reads.
    “You have given a powerful voice to what all good people know beyond any doubt: that now, more than ever, we must turn to Almighty G-d, fortifying our faith and staying true to our values in the face of these current tribulations.”
    The rabbis go on to detail the “turbulence and uncertainty” that faced those of “all backgrounds, beliefs, and denominations” as a result of the pandemic, crediting the president’s “caliber of leadership” for navigating the country through the unprecedented times.
    “During any time of crisis people of all backgrounds beliefs and denominations look for leadership, to help them steer a course through the turbulence and uncertainty. Yet, not every era is blessed with the same caliber of leadership, as becomes evident in the extent to which a nation retains its integrity through times of upheaval,” they wrote.
    “It is precisely with this in mind that we feel so grateful that you, Mr. President, are indeed expressing that leadership we need so urgently, standing up for the first amendment rights which is critical to help us weather to storm of the current pandemic.

    It’s dangerous to come out in the Twin Cities — to come out as a Trump supporter, that is. I’m deeply impressed by my fellow Minnesotans who showed up at Joe Biden’s drive-in rally at the Minnesota State Fair parking lot in St. Paul to express their support for Trump. They mightily annoyed Biden. They got under his skin. Biden called them “ugly folks over there beeping the horns.” Not Minnesota nice, but the Biden campaign is driven by hate.

    For all it’s faults, Twitter is one of the few sources for bonafide news footage at this point. I jut got to watch a montage of MSM talking heads chant about Hunter’s laptop being ‘Russian disinformation’ and was considering how the Big Lie has taken hold.
    Probably the worst crime of a Harris/Biden administration would be the memory-hole that AntifaBLM crimes will fall down (expect all the federal charges to be dropped), MSM will pretend they didn’t spend 4 year fabricating news, the burnings and the statue felling and general ugliness of the American Left will be covered over. Gaslighting will become the order of the day.
    Some side questions. How much is the price of plywood going up because of ‘centrists’. How hard will Blue Mob governors and MSM push for a COVID ‘spike’ purely to prevent walk-in voting?
    Nothing surprises me at this point. Even with a Trump victory the Blue Mob has the bit in it’s teeth and things will likely get pretty frisky.
