Gingrich responds to Soros cover up
https://americanmind.org/post/the-soros-cover-up/
Personally, I think Gingrich held his fire as far as Fox is concerned, but I’m thinking he’s leaving room in the battlefied. Maybe?
Considering that I’m currently sitting in a KOA outside of Las Cruces, NM, I’m surprised my internet is as good as it is. RV parks are notorious for having crappy WiFi

In the clip I saw Gingrich was told he would not be allowed to talk about Soros. In forceful terms.
I like Harris Faulkner. In her non Fox work she seems particularly well grounded. She would be a good friend to anyone who needed one. But it looks like there is something wrong at Fox news if Soros is off limits.
@ eaglesoars:
I wonder what is wrong with Wray. Shouldn’t he be examined?
I think the issue is around boundaries. There are plenty of people in the legal/judicial system that lose their sense of boundaries when dealing with crime. They start to see racism wherever the word white is printed. They lost the ability to discriminate about what is harmful. A sheet of white paper becomes the seed of racism to them.
Wray has reached the end of his shelf life and probably shouldn’t have been marketed in the first place.
I never watched that show Sponge Bob Squarepants. But now when I go shopping and just want to keep a mental shopping list I imagine Sponge Bob Squarepants drinking coffee if I need to buy coffee. Throwing grapes at passing cars if I need to buy grapes. And sure enough my shopping trips are 100 percent successful now.
I am wondering if this places me in the Cristopher Wray category.

So far, it’s been a pretty good trip. No mechanical problems. The weight distributing hitch I finally got installed has been a big help, too.

I’m in Silver City now. KOA is having a two for one weekend, so I’m staying here until Sunday morning. It’ll be nice not having to pack everything up in the morning tomorrow.

@ eaglesoars:
Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin!
@ lobo91:
I have a liberal follow on instagram and the person says they don’t feel well. And a lot of follow up comments reflecting that. Not much concern for RBG or her family. I took it hard when my parents passed. I am not so much concerned about myself. But there is grief in attendance with a death and a life passed on.
I like to remember NT2U, Ironfist, and Macker.
NEW: GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski announces she will NOT vote to replace RBG on SCOTUS until after Election Day, saying, “fair is fair.”
Politics is not fair. I took history classes. There is nothing in the official laws of the country that say “wait to appoint”. That is just a courtesy or gambit depending on the political composition of the legislature. If you have the majority here you do the vote. It wasn’t fair to impeach Trump. It wasn’t fair to charge Gen Flynn.
If fairness was an issue for politicians the impeachment would have never got off the ground.
@ darkwords:
Yeah, it’s gonna be Murkowski, Romney and maybe Collins. Lindsay made noises awhile ago but if he wants to keep his committee chair – and if any of the other 3 want to have pleasant lives ongoing – it’s probably not a good idea to piss off Turtle

Not one single Dem has cut Trump any slack in 4 years? All stood together and worked to hoax him and impeach 24x7x365. Not they support burring cities and killing police?
They deserve nothing. They should be run hard at. Over and Over. They may not pretend they are nice, kind, or thoughtful patriotic people.

@ AZfederalist:
wait. To be sure I understand this. You write a ‘white paper’ outlining possible future ventures to assist clients that your company may be hired to implement. The term ‘white paper’ is in the document. You submit the document to software whose functional purpose is a ‘legal scan’ and the results are to capture the word ‘white’ in the term ‘white paper’.
Have I got that?
Cruz explains the issue
“Democrats and Joe Biden have made clear they intend to challenge this election. They intend to fight the legitimacy of the election. As you you know Hillary Clinton has told Joe Biden ‘under no circumstances should you concede, you should challenge this election.’ and we cannot have election day come and go with a 4-4 court.”
Cruz continued, “A 4-4 court that is equally divided cannot decide anything. And I think we risk a constitutional crisis if we do not have a nine-justice Supreme Court, particularly when there is such a risk of … a contested election.”

That was my initial reaction – Turtle takes the unholy trinity aside and advises them that if they want ANY Committee assignments In January, they better play ball.
Of course, the gnashing of the teeth – “but, but MERRIK GARLAND!!!!” Circumstances are not the same. Obama was a lame duck President in 2016; Trump is not. And frankly, I’m not onboard with the RBG rock star train, She was selfish woman who should have retired from the bench years ago for the sake of the integrity of the Court. If she was so set on having a Democrat President replace her, she should have retired in 2015. And I consider her letter saying her replacement should wait until after the election to be highly improper. She has no business in this.
eagles – I’m trying to remember who you’re thinking of – I think it MIGHT be Judge Bill Pryor of the 11th Circuit. But I think he’s already been removed from the short list for reasons I can’t remember. It’s.a shame Janice Rodgers Brown is too old (71). Black, female, SOLID conservative. Let’s see Mittens, Murkowski and Colline refuse to vote for her.

There’s a bg part of me that hopes the NFL is salvageable – simply because I LOVE to watch football so much. But a bigger part of me says it’s not. The fans have been stretched to the breaking point on being hit over the head on “social justice” – especially when it involves making heroes out of rapists and career criminals.
I feel for the boys in the Pac 12. As far as I know, they’re sticking by the plan to cancel the whole season. The players hoping for NFL careers better hope to hell they can shine in the combines next year – which is going to be pretty hard to do when you haven’t actually played a game in 18 months.

What if a Trump appointment to the Supreme Court drives more liberals to the polls? What if a president Joe Biden (God help us) decides to expand the Supreme Court to 12 or 15 members like FDR wanted to do?
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
It was pretty interesting. Takes a long time to get there, though. It’s 41 miles from Silver City, and took right at 2 hours to drive there. Possibly the most winding road I’ve ever seen. Also no center line, mostly no shoulder or guard rails, and random pedestrians (hikers), bicyclists, and animals.
It’s a pretty good hike up to the actual cliff dwellings, although not as strenuous as the one to the top of El Morro. Once I got up there, I got stuck behind a trio of young women who were apparently taking pictures for Instagram or something. 🙁

Just got back from a DEMO opposing the current Belorussian regime.
They had a good turnout of Belorussian emigres here in NZ but lacked the clout a well organised DEMO has. Next time I’ll chat to some tame media types and get some traction for their cause. They did some interviews and my daughter ad-libbed perfectly and looked a million dollars ( that LAMDA acting diploma comes in handy on occasion) for the 2 million website viewers. We two were the only Kiwi participants so we have to work on that as well. Some stunning Belorussians women there and loads of cute kids in Belorussian costumes and red and white flags (with St George rampant) and balloons all over.
Been a while I did a DEMO!

Hi Aussie
Why do I care about Belorus or however it’s spelled?
Looking at the comments there was a theme: “Make them face themselves”
MAKE THEM?
By using children as blackmail chits. AND PUBLICIZING it for your own self-aggrandizement.
I think he can. It might be close but I think, with the Turtle’s help, he can. I’m not sweet on Coney Barrett, I think from what I see so far she’s more likely to listen to the Pope instead of the Constitution. I am looking into Barbara Lagoa. Family fled Cuba. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of experience but so far, she looks solid. So far.

Ok. Thinking caps on. Remember when Romney was running? First debate. George Stephanopoulos pops up with a question about banning birth control or something. Most people were like “Wha? Where did THAT come from?” But it turned out to be the 1st shot across the bow on a narrative that George was tasked with starting.
I think he just did it again.
In a slightly bizarre exchange, Stephanopoulos asks if the House would impeach Trump or Barr if Senate GOP tries to vote on a SCOTUS nom during lame duck session (to stall the confirmation), and Pelosi refuses to rule it out: “We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver.”

True, but after the Kavanaugh debacle, I think that will be a secondary line of attack.
I’m trying to remember some of the tactics used during Kavanaugh. One was actual physical confrontation. Remember when they cornered somebody in an elevator?
Well, now they’re at McConnell’s houses in Kentucky and DC. I think physical intimidation will be high on the list. And why not? They have suffered zero consequences for all the rioting.

“Every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement and this is the specter our well-meaning Christian liberal friends, our priests, bishops, and pastors refuse to face, that their policy of accomodation is appeasement and it gives us no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accomodate, continue to [move] back and retreat we will have to face the final demand, the final ultimatum and what then?…
Voices pleading for peace at any price, or ‘better Red than dead,’ or as one commentator put it he would rather live on his knees than die on his feet and therein lies the road to war because those voices do not speak for the rest of us.
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin? Just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the Pharoh’s? Should Christ have refused the cross?
Should the patriots at Concord Ridge have refused to fire the shot heard around the world? The martyrs of history were not fools and our beloved dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis did not die in vain. Where then lies the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all, that you and I have the courage to tell our enemies, there is a price we will not pay and there is a point beyond which evil must not advance.”

Wow.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
There is a very mis-understood and mis-used ‘meme’ – for lack of a better word – out of Christianity.
Turn the other cheek.
It is used now as an instruction to submit.
That is NOT what it means.
In the Judea of Jesus’ era, it was a capital crime to strike a Roman citizen.
To turn the other cheek, was a way of saying “Are you sure you want to do this? Because it could mean your death”
It was never meant to be an act of submission. It was meant to be a challenge. Backed up by the threat of violence.
@ eaglesoars:
Indeed.
I didn’t know Caviezel was so in tune with the socialist threat.
The “final demand” being a renunciation of God, with the State as a replacement isn’t spoken about often enough.

Frankly, I don’t care if someone is an atheist/agnostic whatever. But I will look at how someone frames the boundaries of human freedom.

Tonight, Portlanders are encouraged to dim or turn off their lights for “Lights Out Portland.” Light pollution can be harmful to humans, plants and other animals including the birds who are beginning their migration. Thanks
@PortlandAudubon for your advocacy and leadership.

The Audubon Society is on board with wind turbines, which slaughter birds, which is why I cut off support/contact.
Oh, has anyone heard from Greta Thunberg lately?
A question.
Does the 2nd amendment cover flame throwing drones?

@ eaglesoars:
I think this is the crux of the problem. Not enough leftist loud mouth have been slapped in the face. I used to think it was too violent to suggest. Seeing the riots though now suggest it may be the kinder more peaceful gentle America that slaps the snot out of the torchbearers of BLM.
Pre Dominantly black neighborhoods need to catch on. The BLM is an excuse for young, rich, Liberal, white kids to pursue their fantasy of burning black businesses to the ground. It’s the woke black face. Make it harder for black families and children to make money and live safely.
A couple of local Baptist churches here have BLM support signs up. They must be putting their hands over their ears when the marchers shout “No Jesus”
hey y’all
there was a rolling trump rally through the middle of the little town where I live, at least 40 – 50 cars.
Trump flags, gadsden flags, american flags, it was cool
@ darkwords:
Its very likely if a Biden win that the AOC group begins to slowly restrict both churches and guns. They’ll do it in a group think manner where the isolated individual can’t resist. There will be an impacthub in every city.
@ rain of lead:
It’s good to hear that Trump Supporters are not going to sit down.
@ rain of lead:
There have been many BLM support protest in my town on the traffic intersections. There was one lonely guy across the street at one of them with a back the blue sign. I was going to get him a coffee but I got in a hurry to do errands. Missed my chance.
I follow @scottadamssays and I agree it is useless to argue with the BLM people.
There was also a BLM march that stirred up the locals who went to a park armed. That freaked the police chief and the mayor out. The local media coined BLM as peaceful and the counter BLM folks as violent rednecks. No one was hurt.
@ eaglesoars:
More then just that. A Roman citizen would use the back of their hand to strike a non-citizen because using the open palm would mean they were equals. By turning the other cheek it would cause the Roman to strike the Non-Roman as an equal. So it was many layers and levels of defiance.
@ Aussie Infidel:
thank you, will save for later, I need a nap
Since Trump insists on picking a woman, I’m looking at Margaret Ryan, Senior Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.
