		<description>&lt;I&gt;The problem for the Left is that covid-19 is simply not that deadly... It has over a 99% survival rate..

The ONLY reason it&#039;s a thing is because Democrats and their Media lapdogs want something to beat President Trump over the head with..

If Odumbo was still POTUS, we would NEVER hear about COVID-19...&lt;/i&gt;

Really?  So it wasn’t the coronavirus that kept you from having any family at the hospital when you were having surgery...  It was YOUR personality???  

Michael, this is why discussing political matters with you is pointless... you know what you are saying is bullshit, yet you want everyone else to take you at your word when you don’t even believe what you are claiming!    You aren’t interested in honest debates, you just...troll</description>

		<description>I&#039;m willing to place $100 in escrow w/CW the moment he stops playing wallball with your escrow cheque...


Biden will win, handily.



Save your breath to cool your pies.



You are the quintessence of GOP failure, Mike. You see Trump&#039;s victory as all but assured, Mr. Hunt.


No such thing.

&lt;i&gt;If donald gets north of 25% of the african-american vote, i&#039;ll double it ($100), and if he gets over 40%
 of the african-american vote, i&#039;ll treble it ($150).
&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Hey! I want a piece of this!&lt;/b&gt; 

I&#039;ll gladly agree to the above &quot;MtnCaddy loses&quot; conditions if you&#039;ll accept these &quot;Michale loses&quot; terms:

Michale pays $50 if Trump wins under 40% of the black vote.


Michale pays $100 if Trump wins under 25% of the black vote.

Michale pays $150 if Trump wins under 8% of the black vote - that is, &lt;b&gt;what Trump earned in 2016!&lt;/b&gt;


All losers pay to Chris&#039;s Christmastime-Shakedown-a-Pallooza-Fund, right?&lt;/i&gt; (JK, CW...any and all monies you receive is well earned by the quality and quantity of your work product. Not to mention the great fun your &quot;small, deeply disturbed following&quot; hàs interacting with it&#039;s  Weigantian family - woot!)

&lt;b&gt;But...how will we determine the winner?

Exit polls? Whose exit polls?&lt;/b&gt;

For example I provided the link to a &lt;b&gt;recent&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/f29d2c36-fd27-495d-89e3-e97bc41dafd6/note/88ee3d94-b8aa-4298-8f58-4f2581298a89.pdf#page=1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;poll of support for Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;.


Rather than looking at what I took the trouble to provide you (on a bleeping cracked cellphone) &lt;b&gt;and addressing it...&lt;/b&gt;you know, &lt;b&gt;to persuade, like a NON troll,&lt;/b&gt; you &quot;replied&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Oh... It&#039;s a WaPoop poll..

What do ya expect??

We only accept RCP polls here sunshine...

Next you&#039;ll be fessing up an MSNBC poll..&lt;/i&gt;



Um, who is &quot;we?&quot; And why does &quot;we&quot; only look at RCP polls? Has &quot;we&quot; been told over and over to not trust any media that isn&#039;t &quot;fair and balanced&quot; conservative? And has &quot;we&quot; bought into the bullshit? NotMeNoNoNo &quot;ye&quot; not &quot;we.&quot; 

Michale :
So as to facilitate understanding I&#039;ll put this in the form of a children&#039;s rhyme:

&lt;i&gt;You  didn&#039;t ask &quot;me&quot; 
So it can&#039;t be &quot;we&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

This speaks to the whole&quot;what is reality&quot; problem, Michale, as you appear to get your news from Fox and/or OAN but these so-called news sources &lt;b&gt;whose only purpose is to get you to vote against your own wallet.&lt;/b&gt; Hello?

So unless we agree on what &quot;reality&quot; is, that is &quot;how many blacks voted to re elect Trump,&quot; how can we wager?

&lt;b&gt;Moreover how can we reach agreement as to how to guide America  towards &quot;a more Perfect Union&quot; if we cannot agree on 
What
Is
Real?&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So you think they are overestimating the number of deaths? There is no doubt that the actual numbers are higher simply from the lack of testing on the large increase in the number of deaths that occur outside of hospitals. The CDC Director stated recently that at a minimum, the number of actual deaths is likely 10x greater than what is reported. It could easily be much greater than 10x. &lt;/I&gt;

The CDC lost all credibility when they said they should be studying gun deaths..

&lt;I&gt;I saw an interview recently with the Director of Emergency Medicine at a major hospital that says despite the fact that he is treating hundreds of people everyday — many who have tested positive for Covid-19 — he is not eligible to be tested for the coronavirus because he has not shown any symptoms and is always wearing protective gear when treating patients. So he could have it and is infecting the public and we are OK with it since we are not testing everyone who wants a test!&lt;/I&gt;

The problem for the Left is that covid-19 is simply not that deadly... It has over a 99% survival rate..

The ONLY reason it&#039;s a thing is because Democrats and their Media lapdogs want something to beat President Trump over the head with..

If Odumbo was still POTUS, we would NEVER hear about COVID-19...</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;I&gt; Actually, coronavirus death tolls are likely an underestimate.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt; One of the best explanations for why the media’s claim that our country is suffering from an epidemic of police violence against blacks is not supported by the data. Do you happen to have a link to that? It has updated stats that I do not have in a similar article that I use often to make this same argument.&lt;/I&gt;

I do...

One sec...

It was an excellent article I came across that deals with a lot of anti-police bias from the Left..</description>

One of the best explanations for why the media’s claim that our country is suffering from an epidemic of police violence against blacks is not supported by the data.   Do you happen to have a link to that?   It has updated stats that I do not have in a similar article that I use often to make this same argument.</description>

LATEST SEATTLE CHOP SHOOTING SEES ONE DEAD, ANOTHER IN CRITICAL CONDITION 

Police say the officers in the area were trying to redirect the marching protesters along a faster route back to the park where the rally was held earlier in the day. The scene, they say, escalated after one of the protesters busted out the cruiser’s back window.

“There is this loud crash or bang to the rear of the police car. And again in their mind, as according to our investigation, they believed they could be shot at, or were being fired upon and because of that they had to take quick, evasive action,” Police Chief James Craig told reporters Monday. “When you talk about training, if you run into an ambush situation the proper course is to get out for your safety and that is exactly what these officers opted to do.”

“We don’t know what broke the window – could have been a skateboard, could have been anything,” he added. “But whatever it was, it certainly created enough concern for the officers and their safety and to get out.”

Craig also said no officers were hurt in the incident and that the department wasn&#039;t aware of any other injuries.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Detroit police officers caught on video plowing through group of protesters &#039;believed they could be shot at&#039;: chief

The shocking incident unfolded late Sunday following a rally against police brutality, deportations and other issues

he Detroit Police Department has launched an investigation after one of its cruisers was caught on video plowing through a crowd of protesters that had surrounded it, sending demonstrators tumbling off the vehicle’s hood.


The shocking incident unfolded late Sunday following a rally in the area against police brutality, deportations and other issues, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“He went super fast. Me and a couple of other organizers that were with me, just went flinging off. We went flying off,” Jae Bass, a 24-year-old who claimed to be one of the men seen thrown to the ground in the video, told the newspaper.

“He ran over a couple people&#039;s arms, feet,” Bass added. “I think I was the last person on the car. I was just holding onto the car. I could feel him speeding up and then... he flinged (sic) me off the car.&quot;

PORTLAND POLICE ARREST 8 DURING WEEKEND PROTEST, FIND ANTI-POLICE &#039;KILL ALL COPS&#039; GRAFFITI

Video of the incident, which has been posted to Facebook and has gone viral, begins with a crowd surrounding the vehicle while chanting, “No justice, no peace!”

As one demonstrator leans on the hood of the SUV – which has its sirens blaring – other protesters move in.

The police cruiser then inches forward before its driver accelerates rapidly, sending some of those on the hood tumbling to the ground.&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Pols face ire of &#039;Defund the Police&#039; force, from Seattle to New York City

De Blasio is trying to meet demands to cut $1B from the NYPD

As unrest over the death of George Floyd and racial inequality in general reverberates across the United States, local politicians are facing an intense new wave of pressure from protesters demanding police budget cuts as they attempt to balance keeping order in their cities and enacting reforms.


In the latest development, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is grappling with protesters who refuse to leave an encampment in front of New York&#039;s City Hall, as they demand $1 billion be cut from the police department&#039;s budget. The department&#039;s budget is about $6 billion, and the city has a July 1 budget deadline.

&quot;The #DefundNYPD for #NYCBudgetJustice campaign is demanding at least $1 billion dollars be cut from the NYPD’s budget - and this money must be reinvested for services, programs, and infrastructure that directly benefits Black, Latinx and other communities of color most devastated by COVID-19,&quot; the website for Communities United for Police Reform says.

De Blasio, in turn, proposed a plan that would cede to the protesters&#039; demand for the $1 billion cut in police funding.

&quot;My office presented to City Council a plan that would achieve the billion in savings for the NYPD and shift resources to young people, to communities in a way that would help address a lot of the underlying issues that we know are the cause of so many problems in our society,&quot; he said Monday.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;A Coup Against Our Institutions

The systematic campaign to undermine an incoming presidential administration through politicized investigations is a true constitutional crisis.

Matthew Spalding, a scholar of the Constitution and dean of Hillsdale College’s Van Andel Graduate School of Government in Washington, D.C., has written an important essay on the troubling possibility that the treatment of General Michael Flynn by the Obama administration and, later, by holdovers in the FBI, the Justice Department, and the CIA, represents not just a personal disaster for Flynn—who was, for a week or so, President Trump’s national security advisor—but also a brewing constitutional crisis for the United States.

Many commentators, myself included, have described the whole “Donald-Trump-was-a-Russian-Asset” caper as the biggest political scandal in U.S. history. We were ridiculed or condemned by the Left and the NeverTrump fraternity alleged to be on the Right for saying that, but time has proven us right. We were right, too, that this scandal was less a “hoax,” as it was sometimes called, than an attempted, if slow-motion, coup. It was an attempted coup because it aimed to disrupt the peaceful transition of presidential power from one administration, and one party, to another.

That sounds pretty dramatic, I know—aren’t “coups” things that happen in South American banana republics, not the United States? But as I wrote in May 2019, “coup” &lt;/B&gt;
https://amgreatness.com/2020/06/27/a-coup-against-our-institutions/

Trump/America haters simply can&#039;t handle the FACT that Democrats have tried time and time again, to nullify a FREE, FAIR, LEGAL, DEMOCRATIC and CONSTITUTIONAL election...

One really has to wonder if Weigantians and The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party will simply accept President Trump&#039;s re-election..

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Liz Peek: Invisible Joe Biden – Can Democratic candidate really hide through Election Day?
The former vice president has not held a press conference in months.

Turns out Joe Biden may have been a critical player in the plot to frame retired three-star Gen. Michael Flynn. But don’t expect reporters to ask him about it. They can’t.

Democrat candidate Joe Biden has not held a press conference in 87 days. Think about that. The man who wants to be the next president of the United States has not seen fit to answer questions about:

The protests and riots which shook Minneapolis, New York, Atlanta, Washington and other Democrat-led cities after the death of George Floyd.

The rising movement within Biden’s party to #DefundThePolice and the growing attacks on cops.

The takeover of downtown Seattle by anarchists.

The criminal destruction of historical statues across the nation.

Tara Reade’s accusations of sexual assault against Biden.

Tens of millions out of work.

And so much more…

It has been nearly three months of nonstop drama and heartbreak for our country, and Candidate Biden has remained mum. He has occasionally read scripted remarks off a teleprompter, and he has sometimes spoken with local media hosts. But he has refused to answer questions, even from a largely supportive press.

For most Americans, Biden is the Invisible Candidate.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/invisible-joe-biden-hide-through-election-liz-peek

And Joe Biden only has 127 days to mount a campaign..

Doesn&#039;t seem like he&#039;ll do it...

President Trump is going to coast to victory...

Still taking wagers...  If anyone has the scrot..  :D

Anyone??? Anyone???</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;127,693 Americans dead from Coronavirus and counting...&lt;/I&gt;

Actually, the ACTUAL deaths actually from covid are considerably lower...

The fear mongerers like to attribute everything to covid..

So, if a guy drowns but has covid in his system, they call it a death from covid..

If a girl gets hit by a car and is killed, but she has anti-bodies, they chalk it up as a covid death..

So, Blathy.. Even when you shout out gleefully about your American dead, even THAT number is bullshit..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Where are the deaths?

The drum beat to halt the reopenings gets louder by the day. It should be resisted

The coronavirus doomsayers could not even wait until the fall for the apocalyptic announcements of the dreaded second wave. Because the red states recklessly loosened their lockdowns, we are now told, the US is seeing a dangerous spike in coronavirus cases. ‘EXPERTS SKETCH GLOOMY PICTURE OF VIRUS SPREAD: FAUCI TELLS OF “DISTURBING” WAVE, WITH A VACCINE MONTHS AWAY,’ read the front-page lead headline in the New York Times on Wednesday. ‘VIRUS SPREAD AKIN TO “FOREST FIRE”’ read another front page headline in the Los Angeles Times on Monday, quoting Michael Osterholm, one of the media’s favorite public health experts. Osterholm had told NBC’s Meet the Press: ‘I’m actually of the mind right now — I think this is more like a forest fire. I don’t think that this is going to slow down.’

The ‘this’ is an uptick in daily new cases from 19,002 on June 9 to 38,386 on June 24. The high to date in new daily cases was on April 24 — 39,072. Since April 24, the daily case count started declining, then began rising again after around June 9. What virtually every fear-mongering story on America’s allegedly precarious situation leaves out, however, is the steadily dropping daily death numbers — from a high of 2,693 on April 21 to 808 on June 24. That April high was driven by New York City and its environs; those New York death numbers have declined, but they have not been replaced by deaths in the rest of the country. This should be good news. Instead, it is no news.&lt;/B&gt;
https://spectator.us/where-deaths-coronavirus-wave/

See... This is why The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party only talks about the number of infected..

The number of death rate is going down, but Left Wingers can&#039;t have GOOD news to report about...

So, like the good fear mongerers that they are, they keep putting out cherry picked stats and not the real facts as they exist on the ground...

Covid is so Mar/Apr.... Let&#039;s talk about what&#039;s REALLY happening.. The looting and destroying by The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party...  The riots and the violence..

In about 127 days, this country goes to the ONLY Poll that matters...

And President Donald Trump is going to be re-elected in a landslide..  :D

Wagers are still being accepted.. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You just need me, Michale!&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, but you never accuse me of not having facts..  You KNOW I always do...

People like MC and Russ and Vic and Voice and Blathy...

The ones who whine the most with their BS that I never have any facts...

But I really want to delve into this Black Lives Matter thingy...  

On the one hand, we have an issue where 8 black Americans are killed at the hands of cops a year and virtually all the time, it&#039;s justified.. Like  Brooks or Brown....

On the other hand, we have an issue where NINETY SIX HUNDRED black Americans are killed every year....

Now, if you run a group called BLACK LIVES MATTER and that group has NO POLITICAL AGENDA whatsoever....  It&#039;s sole reason to exist is to protect black American lives...

What issue should that group put it&#039;s efforts towards??

The issue that kills 8 black Americans, virtually ALL of them justified homicides...

Or the issue that kills NINETY SIX HUNDRED black American lives per year...

Seems to me that if Black Lives Matter is a legitimate group and legitimately wants to help black Americans, then they should be addressing the black on black violence that kills 9600 black Americans a year....

Which simply proves that Black Lives Matter is NOT a legitimate black American advocacy group..

It&#039;s a terrorist organization whose goal is to kill cops and abolish police...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It may not be an epidemic, Michale but, that doesn&#039;t mean we should accept it and not fight against it.&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s about putting the resources to where they do they most good..

In a year where there are 10,000 black Americans killed, cops kill about 8.. And virtually ALL of those are justified..

In that same year where 10,000 black Americans die, NINETY SIX HUNDRED are killed by other black Americans..

Now, logically speaking..

Is it best to put resources towards the area where 8 black Americans are killed??

Or is it best to put resources towards the area where NINETY SIX HUNDRED black Americans are killed???

ESPECIALLY considering that the 8 black Americans who are killed by cops brought it upon themselves...

It makes NO SENSE to address that issue because the only way to do that is to tell those black Americans to quit breaking the law and fighting cops..

What are we going to do about the NINETY SIX HUNDRED black Americans killed by other black Americans???

Where&#039;s the group for THAT???  Because it sure ain&#039;t Black Lives Matter..</description>

Now, Michale, who determined that? Or, should I ask, what determined that?

Answer that and then, maybe - just maybe - we might have a discussion.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;It’s rare for police to kill anyone. A black man is more likely to be killed by lightning than by a police officer. In 2019, police shot and killed 1,003 people in the US, according to the Washington Post’s Fatal Force database. Of those, 250 were black and 405 white. Police shot and killed 55 unarmed suspects, including 25 whites and 14 blacks.

Shooting an unarmed suspect can be justified if a suspect makes a furtive movement, attacks an officer, or tries to take the officer’s firearm.

Of the 14 incidents of unarmed black men shot and killed by police in 2019, several involved high-speed car chases, fights with officers, or had weapons recovered at the scene.

Every shooting needs to be evaluated on its own merits, and only one of the involved officers has been charged with murder, but for this analysis, assume all involved excessive use of force.

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), there were 686,665 sworn police officers in the United States in 2018. That’s one unarmed black male shot and killed for every 49,047 sworn police officers.

In 2018, police made 10,310,960 arrests, according to the FBI, and the race was known for 5.6 million offenders.

Of them, 1,548,690 (27.4%) were black. There were 229 black males shot and killed by police that year, according to the Washington Post, for a ratio of one out of every 6,762 black offenders. The ratio of unarmed black men shot and killed (23) in 2018 was one out of 67,334 black men arrested.

In 2015, about 53.5 million people had at least one contact with police, and 95% of those contacts involved traffic stops, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

According to a BJS special report, 91% of whites and 85% of blacks contacted by police during traffic stops said police behaved properly. Of citizens contacted during street stops, 81% said police acted properly.  Only 2% of all citizens contacted by police experienced force, or the threat of force.

After the Ahmoud Arbery murder in Georgia, LeBron James tweeted:

“We’re literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes!”

That sentiment has been repeated during the recent protests, but does it reflect reality?

According to the US census, in July 2019, an estimated 328,239,523 people resided in the US. Blacks comprise 13.4%, or 43,984,096 people. That means police shot and killed one unarmed black male out of every 3,141,721 black Americans. Does that sound like an epidemic of police murders?

The numbers of unarmed blacks shot and killed by police are so low, most Americans recognize their names. Comparatively, every year police kill a larger number of unarmed whites, but almost no one knows their names.

Why does the media ignore these shootings?

It’s true the relative percentage of blacks killed is higher than with whites, but the press does not cover the shooting of whites to the same extent, probably because it contradicts the narrative of racist police. Shootings later determined to be justified are still trumpeted as proof of racism—as with the 2014 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.&lt;/B&gt;

The FACTS simply do NOT support the narrative that The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLives Party WANT the American people to believe...

Once again, I post all this here because of all the Weigantians here who claim I never have any facts to support my claims..

As ya&#039;all can CLEARLY see, I always *DO* have my facts lined up..</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>It’s rare for police to kill anyone. A black man is more likely to be killed by lightning than by a police officer. In 2019, police shot and killed 1,003 people in the US, according to the Washington Post’s Fatal Force database. Of those, 250 were black and 405 white. Police shot and killed 55 unarmed suspects, including 25 whites and 14 blacks.</p>
<p>Shooting an unarmed suspect can be justified if a suspect makes a furtive movement, attacks an officer, or tries to take the officer’s firearm.</p>
<p>Of the 14 incidents of unarmed black men shot and killed by police in 2019, several involved high-speed car chases, fights with officers, or had weapons recovered at the scene.</p>
<p>Every shooting needs to be evaluated on its own merits, and only one of the involved officers has been charged with murder, but for this analysis, assume all involved excessive use of force.</p>
<p>According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), there were 686,665 sworn police officers in the United States in 2018. That’s one unarmed black male shot and killed for every 49,047 sworn police officers.</p>
<p>In 2018, police made 10,310,960 arrests, according to the FBI, and the race was known for 5.6 million offenders.</p>
<p>Of them, 1,548,690 (27.4%) were black. There were 229 black males shot and killed by police that year, according to the Washington Post, for a ratio of one out of every 6,762 black offenders. The ratio of unarmed black men shot and killed (23) in 2018 was one out of 67,334 black men arrested.</p>
<p>In 2015, about 53.5 million people had at least one contact with police, and 95% of those contacts involved traffic stops, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).</p>
<p>According to a BJS special report, 91% of whites and 85% of blacks contacted by police during traffic stops said police behaved properly. Of citizens contacted during street stops, 81% said police acted properly.  Only 2% of all citizens contacted by police experienced force, or the threat of force.</p>
<p>After the Ahmoud Arbery murder in Georgia, LeBron James tweeted:</p>

I doubt that 40% of black Americans ain&#039;t black.

It defies logic.</description>

So, the 40% of black Americans who are going to vote for President Trump..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Higgins: Enough of the lying – just look at the data. There’s no epidemic of racist police officers killing black Americans.

Anti-police rhetoric is spreading across the country faster than the coronavirus, because disinformation about racist police shootings fuels its transmission.

Last month, the horrific murder of George Floyd ignited protests across the country, and despite the involved officers being charged and most Americans agreeing racism and police brutality are wrong, public outrage soon expanded to condemn all police.

The shootings of Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Rayshard Brooks have become symbols of racist police killings, regardless of the facts. The false narrative surrounding police shootings has caused law enforcement officers to be demonized, assaulted, and murdered.

The data is clear: There is no epidemic of racist police officers shooting and killing black Americans.

While every life is valuable, the number of blacks unjustifiably shot and killed by police is microscopic. Numerous scientific studies have proven that when behavioral, demographic, and other contextual factors are controlled, the racial disparity in police shootings disappears.

Despite these facts, politicians, activists, and the media continue to misrepresent the facts.  

It’s time to stop the lying and set the record straight. &lt;/B&gt;

These are the FACTS....

But of course The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party can&#039;t handle the FACTS...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;And the president is only just beginning to draw public attention to his Democratic opponents’ ambiguous response to the mindless hate-filled violence of the mobs that have surged through many of America’s great cities. He is also just beginning to point out the extent to which this urban discontent is based on the incompetence and corruption of the Democratic city political machines that generate most of that party’s votes and to which Joe Biden has been bound hand and foot for nearly 50 years.

The Democrats’ prayerful attempts to retard the economic recovery, swaddled in fear-mongering and humbug about the coronavirus, run up against the popular ambition for restored prosperity. There is immense liquidity in the system, and the only feeble barrier to a sharp economic revival is Democratic media defeatism about the pandemic. It won’t work, though it will take some weeks to emerge from under the mountains of media misinformation that have been built up over the issue. Time is on the president’s side not only in public health and economic matters but in political realities. At some point Joe Biden is going to have to face questions from journalists who actually wish to have coherent answers to relevant questions, not just the toe-curling deference of Joy Behar and Don Lemon. 

And before the campaign ends, the familiar and often dramatic finale of a mano a mano debate showdown between the two principal candidates will occur. It is hard to imagine how the pallid and inarticulate Biden of this shadow campaign will come through such a test intact. Biden narrowly lost the debate to the trivia question opponent of 2008, Sarah Palin, when he was in his prime, and Trump more than held his own with Hillary Clinton. This year should be a mismatch.     &lt;/B&gt;

That&#039;s right....

Within the next 127 days, there will be a few debate match-ups between Joe YouAin&#039;tBlack Biden and President Donald Trump..

Considering how bad Biden faired against his own Democrats, it&#039;s really hard to see how he can be anything but demolished when he faces President Trump...

Look for Team Biden to limit Debates and try and cancel them all together..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Democrats have the pathological riffraff of Antifa and the extreme factions of BLM to thank for the accelerated elimination of this barrier to the president’s reelection—they demonstrate that rioting together at close quarters doesn’t spike the virus. It always takes a few weeks for the polls to catch up with such tidal changes in the ever-mobile currents of public opinion. Though the physical attendance at the president’s rally in Tulsa was disappointing, up to 11 million people seem to have watched his lengthy address on television and the internet. It was a conspicuous success to attract seven or 8 percent of the voters on a Saturday night in June, more than four months before the election.&lt;/B&gt;

No matter HOW you want to paint or spin President Trump&#039;s rally, it was a huge success...

127 days before an election.  Joe Biden is STILL hiding in his basement..

Ya&#039;all just HAVE to know that Joe YouAin&#039;tBlack Biden&#039;s staff is sacrificing all sorts of virgin animals to the gods to keep this pandemic going..

ANYTHING to keep Joe McRapist Biden out of the limelight and away from the eyes of the public..

And, since Biden would now have to field questions on why Democrats are supporting AntiFa and BlackLivesMatter terrorism...  

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Oh No, Poor Joe... He Has No Brain&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Ironically, the protesters, rioters, and hooligans who hate Trump the most (but have no use for the useful milquetoast idiots who infest Democratic ranks, even though they will vote for them), have demonstrated that to most people the coronavirus is a paper tiger. The Democrats have been shrieking fear and babbling utter nonsense about testing and tracing millions of people and badgering people suspected of being susceptible to the virus to self-quarantine, in order to prolong the artificial economic recession for their own political gain on election day. &lt;/B&gt;

The scumbags of The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter have served one useful purpose..  The have demonstrated the blatant hypocrisy of the Democrats...  Democrats insist that people can&#039;t go to church or other activities..  But go out and beat up cops???  Go riot???  Go looting??  OH yea, THOSE activities are absolutely fine...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Ironically, the protesters, rioters, and hooligans who hate Trump the most (but have no use for the useful milquetoast idiots who infest Democratic ranks, even though they will vote for them), have demonstrated that to most people the coronavirus is a paper tiger. The Democrats have been shrieking fear and babbling utter nonsense about testing and tracing millions of people and badgering people suspected of being susceptible to the virus to self-quarantine, in order to prolong the artificial economic recession for their own political gain on election day. </b></p>
<p>The scumbags of The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter have served one useful purpose..  The have demonstrated the blatant hypocrisy of the Democrats...  Democrats insist that people can't go to church or other activities..  But go out and beat up cops???  Go riot???  Go looting??  OH yea, THOSE activities are absolutely fine...</p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;All of these elements are evaporating: the increasing incidence of the coronavirus is practically irrelevant since the fatality rate has declined by about 80 percent. Over 90 percent of those who contract the illness have minimal or no symptoms and each such person becomes a barrier to the spread of the virus, as those who have had it and have recovered are much more resistant to it thereafter. This phenomenon is known inelegantly as “herd immunity”: once the virus has gone through society, that society is substantially invulnerable apart from those with diminished immunities. 

The increasing incidence of COVID-19 cases has been amplified in the anti-Trump media. The president, who was so reviled for inability to test competitively with other countries in March, has produced a regime in which an incomparable total of about 30 million Americans have now been tested.

The president’s appearance in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday has been much mocked because about 6,000 of the 19,000 places in the indoor stadium were vacant, and half of those that were filled were occupied by Republican Party officials and guests—but assembling 13,000 people in one place, in itself, is a breakthrough in the pandemic era, a first in four months. Trump is now engaged in converting the United States from being a frightened nation to a people emboldened to resume their lives, apart from those—especially the elderly—with handicapped immune systems. These must continue to be prudent themselves and to be thoroughly insulated from the illness. 

As usual, Trump is swimming upstream against the tide of confected public opinion, but he is supported by the facts: all healthy people, about 80 percent of Americans, have almost nothing to fear from this disease and the cold terror inflicted on the nation by the president’s enemies will not survive discovery of that agreeable fact.
&lt;/b&gt;

This is exactly the problem that Democrats/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter and, by extension, Weigantians have..

No matter WHAT they throw at President Trump, his leadership is steady...  The Trump/America haters throw a pandemic, President Trump takes it in stride...  &quot;What!! You want more!!!&quot; The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Union hurls murder hornets and looting and raping and cop ambushes and cop killings...  President Trump&#039;s steady leadership calms things down...

The latest thing is this bullshit about Russians paying bounties for American soldiers.. Of course it&#039;s from the NY Grime and of course it&#039;s &quot;un-named sources&quot;... They are always &quot;unnamed sources&quot; because no on wants to put their name to that big load of bullshit..

And despite it all, President Trump just snowplows thru laughing and giving The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLivesMatter Party the bird and laughs, &quot;Is that all you got!!??&quot; as he merrily steers the ship of state...

Trump/America haters simply CAN&#039;T win and here is why....  

It is BECAUSE they hate that they always lose.. They don&#039;t think straight because their hate simply blinds them to the realities...

I had a Social Studies teacher in high school.. Hated FDR... Hated FDR with a passion..  But my teacher respected FDR and his accomplishments..  There was no getting around the great things FDR did, my teacher said..

So it is with ya&#039;all with a twist.. Ya&#039;all hate President Trump and hate Trump supporters so much that it blinds ya&#039;all to the reality of the good that President Trump has done...

It IS possible to hate someone but still respect their accomplishments..

Ya&#039;all lose every time because you hate SOOOOO much, that you are blinded to the facts and blinded to reality..

That&#039;s why ya&#039;all lose ALL the time..

And that&#039;s why I, and President Trump, win all the time... We see the word the way it is, not the world the way our hate makes us WISH it was... 

Ya&#039;all can&#039;t see past your hate...  So you miss all the facts and all the reality...

I actually feel sorry for ya&#039;all... For those that only know hate, hate is all they get in return...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Democrats Indulge in a Death Wish

Maybe voters should grant their wish.

Joe Biden’s present lead in the polls is a levitation. These are the dangling entrails of the panic that the national political media, which are unofficially conducting the Democratic campaign in the unheroic absence of the putative nominee, have sown about the coronavirus and the impression, desperately promoted, identifying Trump with the recent chaos.

A public opinion climate worn down by lengthy social confinement, arrested economic activity, and high unemployment is especially vulnerable to disgruntlement about its leaders. Given the pandemic, the recession, and the worst rioting in America in over fifty years, Trump has done well to maintain his approval rating in the mid-forties.&lt;/B&gt;
https://amgreatness.com/2020/06/25/the-democrats-indulge-in-a-death-wish/

Think about it..  If ya&#039;all REALLY thought REAL REAL HARD about it.. Ya might strip a gear..  But then the realization would hit...

We have been hit by some of the worst catastrophes known to man... Pandemic, riots, looting, Armed Rebellion..  Neighborhoods be annexed by Mad Max wannabes...  

And through it all, President Trump&#039;s approval numbers have been remarkably steady..  Considering the known and documented phenomena that keeps Trump Supports from polls, it&#039;s simply amazing how high and steady President Trump&#039;s poll numbers are..

This is what good leadership looks like...</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s talk about &quot;RESPONSIBILITY&quot;, OK??

Black people were the first slave owners.. Black people enslaved other black people in Africa and then dragged their slaves over to America to be sold..

Factually accurate..

All the inner city ghettos are run by Democrats...  If black Americans would stop voting for Democrats, they actually would find jobs and decency and respect..  But black Americans keep voting for Democrats who haven&#039;t done ANYTHING for black Americans in over 40 years...  And, keep in mind, it was DEMOCRATS who fought AGAINST civil rights legislation and voting rights legislation.. DEMOCRATS....

And now, with all this rioting and looting.. It&#039;s black Americans destroying black homes and black stores and black places of businesses...

Do ya&#039;all see where the concept of RESPONSIBILITY comes in???
 
Show me a black American who is in jail or dead or just in a dead-end life, open his entire life to me and I can point to EXACTLY where he or she frak&#039;ed up.. Where he or she should have done the RIGHT thing instead of the EASY thing..  When he or she hurt instead of helped...

In today&#039;s America, a black person can be or do anything..  We had a black person as POTUS for chreest&#039;s sake...

There are no more excuses..  Black Americans have absolutely NO EXCUSES for being in jail or being dead or having no good life..

Where ever you are in life, black or white.. you have done it to yourself..

http://sjfm.us/pics/3men.jpg  

Each one of those men in those pictures made decisions that brought them to that point in their lives...  

It&#039;s easy to see which man made the good decisions and which man made the bad decisions..

Now, adult up and take some responsibility for your self instead of playing the victim all the time...</description>

&lt;I&gt;I did address Obama&#039;s handling of Swine Flu but your false quote is not it...&lt;/I&gt;

That was exactly your attitude when I brought up the 12,000 dead under Odumbo due to Odumbo&#039;s incompetence..

&quot;So??&quot;....

So you don&#039;t care about the number dead under President Trump either..

You just use it as a blunt weapon to beat the President over the head with...

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;Surprised that you aren’t more upset with Trump not speaking out against Russia offering rewards to terrorists to target US and British troops. I guess Putin gets a free pass from the GOP once again!&lt;/I&gt;

Yunno why  I wasn&#039;t worried about it??

Because I KNEW it was going to be just some more bullshit that Trump/America haters throw against the wall in hopes that something sticks..  

&lt;B&gt;Trump says intel doesn’t back up report on Russian bounties against US troops

President Trump late Sunday said U.S. intelligence could not confirm an explosive story that Russian military officials offered bounties to militants linked to the Taliban to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.


The New York Times, citing unnamed officials, reported Friday that it is believed that some “Islamist militants” or “criminal elements” collected payouts. The report pointed out that 20 Americans were killed there in 2019. It was not clear if any of those deaths were the result of a bounty.

TOP CONSERVATIVES WANT ANSWERS

“Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @NYTimesbnooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad.”&lt;/B&gt;

You people will believe ANYTHING, as long as it is against President Trump or America..

It must be sad for you that you live that way..

Very sad....</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Russ,</p>
<p><i>Surprised that you aren’t more upset with Trump not speaking out against Russia offering rewards to terrorists to target US and British troops. I guess Putin gets a free pass from the GOP once again!</i></p>
<p>Yunno why  I wasn't worried about it??</p>
<p>Because I KNEW it was going to be just some more bullshit that Trump/America haters throw against the wall in hopes that something sticks..  </p>
<p><b>Trump says intel doesn’t back up report on Russian bounties against US troops</p>
<p>President Trump late Sunday said U.S. intelligence could not confirm an explosive story that Russian military officials offered bounties to militants linked to the Taliban to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The New York Times, citing unnamed officials, reported Friday that it is believed that some “Islamist militants” or “criminal elements” collected payouts. The report pointed out that 20 Americans were killed there in 2019. It was not clear if any of those deaths were the result of a bounty.</p>
<p>TOP CONSERVATIVES WANT ANSWERS</p>
<p>“Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @NYTimesbnooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad.”</b><br />

		<description>John M from Ct. [117] - absolutely.
I wish the comments section offered a filter, so my &#039;scroll&#039; finger didn&#039;t get so tired bypassing comments of people whose only motive seems to be divert the discussion away from the FTPs.</description>

		<description>Okay, Russ …

I watched the Tim Minchin show. Oh, man … ah, sigh...

Loved the music and the humour - the latter of which you alone around here would imagine. :)

Looking forward to next Sunday!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The problem for ya&#039;all is you have no argument for the facts.. So you simply deny the facts exist..

Like YOUR fact that President Trump was going to be removed from office.. EVERYONE here, in addition to me, told you that you were full of shit..

And, it turns out everyone, including me, was dead on ballz accurate.. You WERE full of shit.. :D&lt;/i&gt;

No, we simply point out that your facts are fiction.

You seem to believe that this is some sort of forum for clairvoyants...it’s not!  I am well aware that what I had hoped would be the outcome of the impeachment hearings did not come to fruition.  I said at the time that I knew it was not likely, but that I thought it would be the best thing for our country and the best way for Republicans to save their reputations and what is left of their party’s reputation.  

The Republicans reaction to his impeachment was worse than I could have ever imagined.  Their refusal to hold Trump accountable for his actions and refusal to submit to Congressional over-site will be a stain on the party’s place in history.
 
And given how spectacularly Trump fukked up our nation’s response to the coronavirus, I think my view was definitely the best outcome that never came to be!

And just a reminder.... you said Trump would never get impeached... so  according to your own line of thinking, I really had no reason to listen to anything you had to say about the outcome of the event you denied would happen.</description>

		<description>Don,

So, I just watched part two of your video. 

I&#039;m impressed. Have you shown these before and are there more of them!?

I&#039;m guessing you&#039;re on board, then, with the &lt;b&gt;CW Sunday Music Festival and Dance Party&lt;/b&gt; and leave politics aside for one day of the week … help me convince the others!</description>

		<description>Russ,

Just listened to Tim Minchin. I can honestly say that I&#039;ve never heard of him.

I also listened to Dark Side, the awesome version, of course - it was fun! 

He&#039;s quite captivating - so I&#039;ll check out the Netflix concert … since, you know, I actually have Netflix, believe it or not.</description>

Hay.. Don&#039;t blame me...Blame the people who are full of shit when they claim no one reads my links...
