Media Assures Americans The Real Threat Is The Side That Keeps Getting Shot At U.S. — In the wake of yet another assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the media sought to assure Americans that the real threat isn't the side doing the shooting. "The people getting shot at and murdered, they are the real threats," explained CNN correspondent Dana Bash. "Every time you see another attempt to kill a Republican, remember that Democrats are the party of peace and tolerance."

FBI Tries To Distract From Old Trump Assassination Attempt With New Trump Assassination Attempt U.S. — The Federal Bureau of Investigation decided to distract the public from their complete lack of progress on the old Trump assassination attempt with a shiny, new Trump assassination attempt. "Look, what's that over there? It's another person trying to shoot Trump! Oh no!" said FBI Director Christopher Wray. "Aw, shucks, looks like we don't have time to worry about Matthew Crooks and all his encrypted communication."

The 'Muslim Martin Luther' Has Been Convicted of Rape Tariq Ramadan, a Muslim intellectual who has been one of the foremost exponents, at least to non-Muslims in Europe and North America, of Islamic reform, has been convicted of rape. It is impossible to overstate how shocking this is for those who have praised Ramadan to the skies for so very long. For many years, Tariq Ramadan was the darling of the Western intelligentsia. In 2002, Salon hailed him as "the Muslim Martin Luther." In 2004, Time Magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world today. In 2012, Foreign Policy included him on its list of the top 100 global thinkers "for telling us that Islam and democracy can go together — just when it matters." Now those accolades, and the many others that Ramadan received, stand as mute witness to the left's tendency to shower with honors those who tell it what it wants to hear.

Remember When Kamala Harris Joked About Killing Trump? The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon in Florida, just nine weeks after a previous attempt in Butler, Pa., has reignited concerns about the violent and hateful rhetoric coming from the political left. Mere days before Trump was shot in Butler, Joe Biden declared, "It's time to put Trump in the bullseye." Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the violent rhetoric from the left. For years, Biden and the Democratic Party have relentlessly compared Trump to Hitler, branding him a threat to democracy and a would-be dictator. Such rhetoric has continued to this day. Kamala Harris has been using incendiary rhetoric against Trump, just like Biden has. In fact, she once openly joked about killing him. In 2018, during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," DeGeneres asked Harris a lighthearted question. "If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?" Kamala's response, however, took a darker turn: "Does one of us have to come out alive?"

Paycheck-to-paycheck voters will 'believe their lying eyes' and vote against Harris [...] Since the debate, many in the media and many Democrats have viewed Kamala Harris's well-practiced non-answer answers as a decided victory for her. While they may see it that way, there's a very good chance that most working-class Americans do not.

DOJ Warns If Trump Is Elected He Will Do To Them All The Stuff They're Doing To Him WASHINGTON, D.C. — Officials from the Department of Justice issued a public warning that, if Donald Trump is elected, he will do to them all of the stuff they're currently doing to him. According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Trump's election could prove disastrous to the DOJ. "It's important that we remember that if Trump manages to seize power again, he is going to treat the DOJ exactly as horribly as we are currently treating him," Garland said at a press briefing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Home Depot Introduces 'Shame Alarm' That Blares If A Man Asks An Employee For Help HOUSTON, TX — The Home Depot has just announced a brand new "Alarm of Shame," which will be standard in all Home Depot locations by next week. The Alarm of Shame is meant to improve customer satisfaction and self-confidence by loudly blaring every time any so-called "man" asks an employee for help. "SHAME!! SHAME!!" blares the siren the moment a male degrades himself in the most humiliating way possible. Spotlights then reveal the location of the man-child, and other shoppers are encouraged to either laugh or join in yelling "SHAME!!"

This is masterfully written, and I think it's an accurate expression of what's going on and what we're feeling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Debate at the Kitchen Table ABC staged a debate this week. A presidential debate. Ostensibly between former president Donald J. Trump and former senator Kamala Harris, but in actuality between Trump and the partnership of Harris and ABC. There is always media bias. To some extent, unconscious media bias is unavoidable. But we don't expect it to be blatant; the viewer doesn't expect antics like we saw this week, when the ABC moderators repeatedly declared Mr. Trump's statements lies, and never called out Ms. Harris's blatant lies. We call it "fact-checking" today, a term coined in social media for when our high-tech overlords punish a writer for stating something with which the gurus disagree. But it's not really fact-checking, is it? It's an invasion of a conversation, a denial of free speech, a thumb on the scale. In the case of a presidential debate, it's electioneering. And it virtually invalidates the value of our constitutionally protected free press in this process. ABC's refusal even to try to act as an impartial host rendered this debate useless. So let's look instead at the other debates — millions of them — going on in America, both that day and every day in 2024.

This was unexpected. A step in the right direction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court Ruling a Massive Election Integrity Win on Mail-In Ballots Remember during the 2020 elections, when several blue states (including the commonwealth of Pennsylvania) rewrote on the fly the laws about how, when, and where mail-in ballots (AKA vote by mail) would be counted? It led to many voters becoming jaded and distrustful of a system that had been considered one of the most honest and free to hold elections in the world. Courts ended up striking down those revised laws, and now we have news of a massive win for election integrity on mail-in ballots by the state Supreme Court in one of those states--the Keystone state of Pennsylvania: [...] https://redstate.com/beccalower/2024/09/13/new-court-ruling-a-big-election-integrity-win-on-mail-in-ballots-in-pennsylvania-n2179302

Guess who didn't see it? That would be the network's television audience. According to Tom Elliott, who runs Grabien, a media service that archives news coverage, ABC 6 and Taff made an astonishingly dishonest edit to the interview before playing it on the nightly news. Specifically, the above word salad was completely cut out of the interview, and instead, a later portion was spliced in. In the recording of the live broadcast, you can hear Taff ask the question posed in the above excerpt, yet the answer Harris is shown giving was not her actual answer in the interview.

Harris' Train Wreck 'Interview' Proves One Thing: She's Unfit for Office We've all seen, or at least seen portions of, Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' utter train wreck of a (scripted, pre-recorded, carefully planned, and still she screwed it up) interview with Philadelphia's 6 ABC anchor Brian Taff. To call this a disaster was an unforgivable understatement; not even a carefully planned pre-recorded interview format could produce a win for the Queen of the Word Salad. What. A. Mess. The result? A lot of media types and pundits are pointing out, correctly, that this is just one more indicator that Kamala Harris is unfit for office.

Awful! ~~~~~~ Kamala's First Solo Interview Was a Total Train Wreck On Friday, Kamala Harris finally gave her first solo interview since Joe Biden was forced out of the presidential race. It's hard to believe it took her nearly two months finally do an interview on her own. And yet, the interview proved exactly why she hasn't. Taking a page out of Barack Obama's playbook, Kamala didn't do an interview with a major news network, but with an ABC News affiliate in Philadelphia. Barack Obama employed this strategy in order to have more leverage over the terms of the interview, and it seems the Obama people who have joined her campaign have advised her to do the same. So, obviously, you know that she was given a bunch of softball questions from reporter Brian Taft, and yet the short interview was a complete trainwreck.

If any of these "students" are receiving Federal aid, it seems that we'd have cause to formally object. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New York City's Laboratory for Hate On Tuesday night, Sept. 3, Ilya Bratman—U.S. Army veteran, CUNY English teacher, and Hillel executive director at eight CUNY and SUNY schools—hosted a welcome-back dinner for Hillel students at a kosher restaurant near Baruch College. Soon after their entrance into Mr. Broadway, guests were surrounded by a chanting, braying, mob. "CUNY, CUNY, You can't hide. You support genocide!" "Terrorist! Terrorist! Terrorist!" "All Zionists are racist!" They blocked the doorway, preventing students and other diners from leaving, held photos of murdered babies in the students' faces, and even hit a Hillel staffer. One of the male protesters, his face concealed by a mask, shoulders draped in a kaffiyeh, creepily formed his fingers in the shape of a triangle—Hamas' symbol for a military target. Then the slurs got personal. To a clearly Jewish-looking couple walking down the street, "You ugly ### ! Go back to Brooklyn!" And, then, the kicker: "Where's Hersh?" For an hour. When the cops arrived after 30 minutes of the melee, they moved the protesters "5 feet away" from the entrance, according to Bratman, placing them close to the restaurant windows, which they then hammered with their hands. There was nothing they wouldn't say, from "You ain't going home tonight," to "Dogs off campus." [...] https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/cuny-antisemitic-violence

Has it truly been 50 years? Gosh... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Push the Button: Remembering Evel Knievel and his Snake River Canyon jump 50 years ago Over Labor Day weekend, Twin Falls, Idaho, held a 50th anniversary celebration of the September day in 1974 when Evel Knievel tried to jump the Snake River Canyon in a steam-powered rocket. Twin Falls is a city of about 50,000 people in southern Idaho, but in 1974 it was less than half that size, and it was bracing for—and dreading—the arrival of tens of thousands to witness Knievel's long-deferred attempt, which had been promoted in the manner of a heavyweight championship fight. "Heck," a waitress said, hearing the speculation about invading hordes, "I ain't never seen more than a thousand in one place. It's scary." In the end, a much smaller number, about 15,000 people, crowded into the space where the canyon sits, a remotely located gorge in the Earth not user-friendly for travel, lodging, public gatherings, or much of anything else. Thousands of others around the country watched at theaters over closed-circuit television, the preferred technology in those pre-cable, pre-pay-per-view days for showing big events, usually championship boxing matches, that priced themselves off free TV. For the star of the show, it was the culmination of a career spent daring, and cheating, death. This time, it looked like death would have its say.
