Riots and Joe Biden’s Joe Isuzu Problem [with comment by Paul] | Power Line

Riots and Joe Biden’s Joe Isuzu Problem [with comment by Paul] | Power Line
"Anybody remember the 1980s Isuzu auto TV pitchman “Joe Isuzu”? 
Wikipedia recalls him as “a pathological liar who made outrageous and overinflated claims about Isuzu’s cars,” which describes a lot of Joe Biden’s boasts about himself. 
Beyond just Biden, I think the whole Democratic Party has a “Joe Isuzu problem” when it comes to talking sensibly about the urban disorder exploding (literally) all over the country.

Does it seem like Democrats are deaf-mutes when it comes to speaking clearly against the rioting going on right now? 

It went unmentioned during the Democratic National Convention two weeks ago. 
But in fact Joe Biden has made statements against the riots, such as this one back in July:

“Anyone who burns or pillages… should be arrested. They are a problem for society and they make a mockery of what the march is all about. They should be tried, arrested and put in jail.”

Today Biden is spinning furiously to catch up with the curve, saying “Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting.” 

He added, “You know me. You know my heart. You know my story, my family story. Ask yourself, do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really?”

The problem is no one really believes Biden and the Democrats are sincere in their criticism of rioters. 
Because they aren’t. 
Deep down they can’t square their sympathy for the “root grievances” of protesters and rioters with the political necessity of being credible in fighting against rioting, which would mean Portland and Seattle, for starters, would sweep the streets and not let people go hours later with no bail. 
(It would also help if Democrats, including some of Kamala Harris’s staff apparently, hadn’t contributed to fund drives to bail out protesters and rioters in the few places where bail is being set.)...Read all.

Street gangs in Chicago reportedly vow to shoot any cop on sight who has a weapon drawn in public - TheBlaze

Street gangs in Chicago reportedly vow to shoot any cop on sight who has a weapon drawn in public - TheBlaze:

The FBI has reportedly told Chicago-area law enforcement to be on the lookout for dangerous gang members just looking for a reason to kill cops.
What are the details?
According to a Monday night report from WLS-TV, about 36 street gangs have vowed to "shoot on-sight any cop that has a weapon drawn on any subject in public."
The report, obtained by WLS, is titled "Pact Made by People Nation Gang Factions to 'Shoot On-Site' [sic] Any Police Officer with a Weapon Drawn."

"There is a stream of stupidity floating around the election that Nancy Pelosi could become acting POTUS. 
Latest article I saw spouting this drivel is here. 
Well for convenience permit me to show how exactly unlikely that is. 
Fact I would have a better chance of becoming a billionaire than Pelosi becoming acting POTUS.

The components of this conundrum:

• Time line of Electors
• Line of succession
• The qualifying Amendments

---

Line of succession

Lets dispel a specific fact that most of the authors of this tripe have been using –

• The 25th Amendment DOES NOT APPLY in the confluence of events of a Presidential election

There are no ifs, ands, or buts about this. The 25th Amendment addresses the line of succession for a sitting President. Fact it does not even cover issues of a President-elect.

---

Time line of Electors

There has been a great deal of concern about confusion post Nov 3rd considering the number of States that are permitting mail in voting. 
Well first of lets define what will really happen before launching into conjecture. 
The timeline:

• Election Nov 3rd.
• Election results resolved Dec 8th
• Elector Qualification certified Dec 8th
• Electors cast ballots Dec 14th
• Ballots tendered to Senate Dec 23rd
• Ballots counted in joint session Jan 6th
• POTUS sworn in Jan 20th

So what is at issue?...Read all.

Kurt Schlichter--Women Always Have To Pick Up The Check For Democrats

Women Always Have To Pick Up The Check For Democrats
For a party that toots its own horn about how it’s all-in for the ladies, the Democrat Party sure has a weird way of showing it. 
The fact is that when the check comes for its dangerous and degenerate policies, every single time the Dem dudes dine and dash and stick the chicks with the bill.
...who is going to bear the burden of defunding the police and disarming the people? 
Men?
Well, in a world where 911 answers “Would you like to get on the waiting list for the intervention of a social worker?” and you aren’t allowed to pack a 9mm equalizer, big men prevail.
Good big men have much less to worry about.
A 200-pound good man has a chance taking on a 200-pound thug, which is, of course, why the 200-pound thug won’t bother with the 200-pound man and will make a beeline for the 120-pound woman. 
Now Hollywood, in its finite wisdom, has sought to hi-five the female audience by depicting tiny gals casually walloping big men.
Every superhero movie has the girl superheroine who kicks boy villain butt.
...And it’s all crap, unless you’re that 1 in 100,000 mixed martial arts lady who actually can make up for the merciless realities of physics, and you are not that 1 in 100,000 mixed martial arts lady who actually can make up for the merciless realities of physics.
Which is why the Dems’ defund the cops/disarm the law-abiding initiative is so anti-woman...Read all.

Team Trump: Joe Biden Only Offers 'Empty Talk,' No Plan to Stop Riots

Team Trump: Joe Biden Only Offers 'Empty Talk,' No Plan to Stop Riots:

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign criticized former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday ahead of his speech to blame the president for left-wing violence in America’s major cities.
“You’re not going to hear anything from Biden or any sort of plan to stop the violence. … All you are going to hear today is empty talk, just like Biden has been doing for 47 years,” Trump’s 2020 senior communications adviser, Jason Miller, said on Monday in a campaign call with reporters.

Meet the Democrats’ Newest Strategist - American Greatness

Meet the Democrats’ Newest Strategist - American Greatness:

• For Vicky Osterweil, “Looting represents a material way that riots and protests help the community.”

"Her name is Vicky Osterweil.

...Like Joe Biden (and like his mentor Barack Obama), she is passionately committed to “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” 

...In her interview with Stephen Colbert earlier this month, Joe Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris cheerfully noted that the “protests” coruscating across the country were “not going to stop.” 
“This is a movement,” she explained, smiling. The riots “are not going to let up and they should not and we should not.” 

Osterweil sees Harris’ bet and raises it. She, too, regards the riots as part of a “movement for liberation,” a movement that is just getting started. 

I mentioned Osterweil’s new book.
It is called In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action.
I should note that the word “riotous” as used here does not mean “uproariously funny.”
In means “having to do with riots,” i.e., violent insurrectionary action: looting, destroying property, burning things down. 
These are the actions that Osterweil recommends to bring about that “total” or “fundamental” transformation of society that she, like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, longs to bring about...Read all.

Very worthy read from Down Under-----We need an inquiry into climate alarmism

We need an inquiry into climate alarmism
"I hope you are sitting down; this foray into political and media madness over bushfires and climate change starts with recognising some excellent, forensic journalism by the ABC.
Investigating last summer’s devastating Gospers Mountain fire, journalist Philippa McDonald took us to the very tree where the fire is believed to have been started when it was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm.
McDonald used this to give us the brilliantly counterintuitive opening line; “It began not with fire, but ice.”
In a series of reports, McDonald and her team retraced the history of the fire over a number of weeks, how it was almost extinguished by rain, how bushwalkers in the wrong place at the wrong time thwarted a backburn that might have stopped it, how another prescribed burn got out of control and destroyed houses, and how a fortuitous wind change stopped it encroaching on suburban Sydney.
We might quibble with some of the alarmist language — repeating the silly new “megafire” term and pretending that when fires meet they join and get bigger when, in fact, this reduces the number of fronts and total length of fire perimeter — but overall the reporting was factual and admirable because it explained the many variables in fire behaviour and the factors that can influence whether a fire can be contained or extinguished before weather conditions turn it into an unstoppable beast. Surprisingly, and refreshingly, the reports did not dwell on climate change.
When it comes to our bushfires climate change is so close to being irrelevant, it should hardly warrant a passing reference — we have always faced disastrous bushfire conditions and always will. If climate change makes the worst conditions either marginally more or less common, it matters not; we still need to do the same things to protect ourselves...Read all!!

Director Of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe Says He Has Filed Multiple ‘Crimes Reports’ Over Classified Leaks | The Daily Caller

Director Of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe Says He Has Filed Multiple ‘Crimes Reports’ Over Classified Leaks | The Daily Caller:

John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, said Sunday he has filed multiple “crimes reports” regarding alleged leaks of classified information to the media.
“When I become aware of intelligence community information that is disclosed unlawfully, I do what’s called a crimes report. I’ve done that now on a number of occasions, and so those investigations are moving forward,” Ratcliffe said on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Ratcliffe said that the timing of any prosecutions from the investigations “would be something that the FBI would have to address.”

We've been lied to!-----Just the Facts That We Refuse to Believe | Intellectual Takeout

Just the Facts That We Refuse to Believe | Intellectual Takeout
“Just the facts, ma’am.”
This saying is attributed to Police Sergeant Joe Friday on the popular television series “Dragnet,”  though Friday actually said, “All we want are the facts, ma’am.”
Friday and his partner made evidence and facts the center of their investigations before drawing conclusions.
Today facts in our public square are as difficult to come by as toilet paper during the first month of the pandemic.
On August 29, writer Joe Hoft reported on the release of the latest statistics on coronavirus deaths from the Center for Disease Control.
Hoft relates that of all those who died testing positive for this virus, only 9,210 Americans succumbed from the virus alone. 
All the rest had other serious illnesses.
Skeptical, I headed to the CDC website to check out Hoft’s statistics. 
There the latest report states that only 6 percent of Americans, a figure in line with Hoft’s numbers, have died of coronavirus without any other cause of death: “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.
For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”
So fewer than 10,000 Americans have died solely from COVID-19, and most of the others had not just one comorbidity, but several.
Though all deaths from COVID bring grief to friends and family members, the percentage of deaths from the virus alone is statistically insignificant.
It’s less than .00333 percent of our population.
I was blown away.
For this, we have lived in fear and isolation for six months?...Read all.
