Trump had an intelligent goal when he tweeted about delaying the election


Leftists were all a-twitter about a tweet Trump sent out early on Thursday. In it, after attacking voting by mail, he suggested that it might be a good idea to delay the election until people can vote in person. Leftists, predictably, were outraged and poured out pixels explaining why this wasn’t possible. They probably still don’t realize that they were being played and that they just made Trump’s case for him about getting voters into booths on November 3.

One of the things reflexively oppositional people don’t realize is that they’re incredibly easy to manipulate. Someone who invariably says “no” is just as much a puppet as the easily controlled person who always says “yes.” If you say “not X” every time I say “X,” if I want you to fall in line, I just start by saying “not X.” This is a principle as old as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck telling Elmer Fudd which of them he should shoot:

With that principle in mind, let’s talk about what Donald Trump did. The starting point is that Democrats are worried that they can’t win.

Polls are of dubious value, especially because they’re weighted heavily in favor of Democrats; they poll nationally rather than by state, thereby ignoring the Electoral College; and they ask anybody for an opinion instead of asking registered or likely voters. Savvy Democrats are warning fellow Dems against trusting the polls.

Biden is also a problem. Putting aside his fondness for segregationists in the 1970s, as well as his being behind imprisoning more black men than any president since the Confederacy, he’s decompensating by the minute. This is Biden:

Voters are utterly disinterested in him too:

What do you do if you can’t win honestly, you have no moral principles, and your only goal is power? You cheat. In a system with traditional voting – with people showing up at polling places and, in many states, having to show ID — fraud is, well, hard.

For the Democrats, therefore, the Wuhan virus has offered a wonderful opportunity: Mandate that in-person voting should be banned in America. Instead, some Democrats are proposing that the states should mail ballots to everyone who has a driver’s license (including, presumably, all those illegal aliens in the 15 states that give them licenses and all those people who Democrats insist dont know how to obtain ID to show at polling places). Then, the Democrats promise, everyone who is a registered voter and is not committing fraud will dutifully mail the ballots back.

The opportunities for fraud are boundless. Leftists insist there’s no fraud (you can easily find the cites because the search engines frontload them), but reality says the opposite. (See here and here, for example.) In New York, a month after the primaries, the huge number of legitimately obtained absentee ballots has meant that there’s still no winner. In the last four elections alone, 28 million mail-in ballots went wandering, to be lost forever.

So what does Trump do? He sends out a tweet worrying about the risks of mail-in elections and suggests that the election be delayed until the virus fears are gone:

Within seconds, the media is insisting that the election must go forward as planned. Their hysteria alerts non-political junkies that this is an issue. These voters don’t want to be disenfranchised in an important election. Trump bets they’re going to say, “If I can go to Walmart to buy potatoes, I can go to my polling place to vote.”

As Trump later explained:

The media are Daffy Duck. Trump is Bugs Bunny squared.

Breitbart Still Suspended From Twitter After Viral HCQ Video; Doctor Gets Axe Over Involvement

Breitbart Still Suspended From Twitter After Viral HCQ Video; Doctor Gets Axe Over Involvement

Tyler Durden

Fri, 07/31/2020 – 09:05

Update (1015ET): Breitbart News is still unable to post to their 1.4 million followers on Twitter, after the social media giant locked their account for posting the viral video of pro-HCQ doctors at the heart of the latest debate over Silicon Valley censorship.

According to Breitbart, Twitter has yet to respond to their appeal after nearly three days.

Twitter is punishing a news organization for live-streaming a press conference held by a congressman and licensed medical doctors.

Breitbart News lodged an appeal with Twitter on Tuesday afternoon. Nearly 48 hours later, Twitter has yet to respond or restore Breitbart’s ability to post. Twitter has not replied to a Breitbart News request for comment on how long such a review is expected to take.

Twitter took down the video and locked Breitbart’s account shortly after similar censorship by YouTube and Facebook. –Breitbart

* * *

Just days after the establishment – via its Big Tech partners and liberal media propagandists – entirely disappeared a viral video of a dozen doctors discussing their real-life experiences of treating COVID-19 (and in some cases using the "extremely dangerous" medicine – if mainstream media is to be believed – hydroxchloroquine) and getting children back to school; the founder of "America’s Frontline Doctors" – Dr. Simone Gold – has been fired from her job as an Emergency Medicine Specialist in Los Angeles, CA.

As we previously noted, in the video, Dr. Gold said:

“We’re here because we feel as though the American people have not heard from all the expertise that’s out there all across our country.” 

She is also the head organizer of an open letter signed by more than 600 doctors calling on President Trump to end lockdown. The letter described widespread state orders keeping businesses closed and children home from school as a “mass casualty incident” with “exponentially growing health consequences.”

The video was entirely disappeared from the web (except if you know where to look) within hours, and two days ago, Dr. Gold stated in a recent tweet that:

“Our website host @Squarespace has just completely and arbitrarily shut down our website, claiming a violation of their terms of service.”

Gold had defended her views – which reflected her real-life experience as a board-certified doctor specializing in emergency medicine, not a journalist playing one on TV! – saying in a tweet that “there are always opposing views in medicine,” but that opposition should not be grounds for censorship.

“Treatment options for COVID-19 should be debated, and spoken about among our colleagues in the medical field,” she wrote.

“They should never, however, be censored and silenced.”

But now, Dr. Gold has lost her job after her employer found out about the viral video where she dared to discuss hydroxychloroquine.

"Until what seems like 5 minutes ago I was considered a ‘hero’ [as a frontline emergency physician] with people clapping at what I was doing… but now i have been summarily fired for appearing in what was told to me was ‘an embarrassing video’."

It is unclear exactly who Dr.Gold works for but her most recent role seems to be an affiliation with Centinela Hospital Medical Center

We wish her luck in any wrongful dismissal suits.

Another failure of the COVID diagnostic test

In previous articles, I’ve detailed several key reasons why the PCR test is worthless and deceptive.

Here I discuss yet another reason: the uniformity of the test has never been properly validated.  Different labs come up with different results.

Let’s start here—-the reference is the NY Times, January 22, 2007, “Faith in Quick Tests Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t.

“Dr. Brooke Herndon, an internist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, could not stop coughing…By late April, other health care workers at the hospital were coughing…”

“For months, nearly everyone involved thought the medical center had had a huge whooping cough outbreak, with extensive ramifications. Nearly 1,000 health care workers at the hospital in Lebanon, N.H., were given a preliminary test and furloughed from work until their results were in; 142 people, including Dr. Herndon, were told they appeared to have the disease; and thousands were given antibiotics and a vaccine for protection. Hospital beds were taken out of commission, including some in intensive care.”

Vandals Desecrate Christian Church with Satanic Symbols


Unidentified vandals desecrated a Christian church in Goleszów, southern Poland, last weekend, painting Satanic symbols on the main doors of the building.

Using white spray paint, the perpetrators wrote the words “Ora pro nobis, Lucifer,” Latin for “Pray for us, Lucifer,” around an inverted Christian cross, along with the Latin words for the Church of the devil.

The criminals also painted a pentagram and the number 666, which refers to the number of the “beast” in the biblical book of Revelation, interpreted by some to be the anti-Christ.

The incident took place on Saturday night and the profanation was discovered Sunday morning when the sacristan arrived to prepare for Sunday Mass.

Christian sites across Europe suffered a record number of attacks in the year 2019, with some 3,000 churches, schools, cemeteries, and monuments vandalized, looted, desecrated, or defaced.

In its 2019 report, the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe (OIDACE) chronicled the increase in Christian persecution throughout Europe, pointing to “a rise in the number of churches, Christian symbols, and cemeteries across Europe being vandalized, desecrated, and burned, compared to previous years.”

Moreover, the report states, across Europe, “Christians have been fired, sued, and even arrested for exercising their freedom of expression or conscience.”

“As we have noted in the past, Christians in Europe are not simply experiencing social discrimination, prejudice, or restrictions on freedom. Christians, including clergy, have been attacked or killed for their faith,” the report stated.

The report also cited the official annual crime statistics for 2018 provided by the French Interior Ministry, which included 1063 “anti-Christian acts” and showed that in the ten-year period from 2008 to 2018, there was an increase of some 250 percent in attacks on Christian sites.

Another report compiling the anti-Christian acts perpetrated during 2019 revealed a range of profanation including arson, defecation, desecration, looting, mockery, Satanism, theft, urination, and vandalism.

On the Day Big Tech Meets with Congress Regarding Censorship TGP’s Joe Hoft’s Book Gets Censored (Again)

It is difficult attempting to write a book.  It’s almost impossible for targeted conservatives to publicize and share it.

Back in early June after a month of attempts to publish my book In God We Trust: Not in Lying Liberal Lunatics” – on Amazon-Kindle, the book was still not approved for publishing by the Big Tech Giant.

We wrote about how former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson got a brief lesson in what conservative authors and publishers face on a regular basis when he tweeted out that Amazon had censored and refused to publish his latest book “Unpublished Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns.”

After Elon Musk brought widespread attention to yet another example of leftist tech giants stifling free speech, Amazon ultimately backed down and made the book available.

Unfortunately, Berenson’s experience is not isolated. 

We reported that I have previously published two books successfully on Amazon, yet they were making publishing my latest book, “In God We Trust: Not in Lying Liberal Lunatics, a nightmare.

We reported that Amazon would not allow my book to be published on Amazon-Kindle and described the process I was going through to get it published.

Despite answering every question and providing all requested information, Amazon continued to create barriers for me in publishing my book without providing a concrete reason or an individual number I can call to resolve the issue.

The world’s largest soft copy platform – Amazon-Kindle, would not publish my book.  After we posted an article about this, my book was suddenly made available at Amazon.

It is difficult to write a book.  It is more difficult to publish it, especially if you are conservative.

Yesterday, the same day that Big Tech icons were invited in front of Congress to address concerns with tech censorship, I received the following email.  The email relates to my attempt to advertise my new book on Amazon.  Amazon now had problems with my book again, this time in regards to my advertising:

(Please note that this book is not on any best seller list.  It is not backed by any big publisher.  Based on prior efforts I didn’t even attempt the humiliating exercise of asking a big publisher to look at it.  I tried this in the past to no avail.  So I self-published this book.)

The link in the email took me to my book on Amazon:

My book contains none of the items given as reasons to prevent me from advertising the book.  There is no further excuse given.  Amazon just wants me to stop advertising my book on their site.  Again, there is no number to call – no one to speak to.  It appears that Amazon just doesn’t want the content of this book shared.

Big tech is a real and present danger.  I am just a little guy but if they do this to me, they censor others as well.

If you are a conservative in America today who believes in the rule of law, prosperity, hard work and the truth you are targeted by the left.
If you dare write about the accomplishments of President Trump and the systemic corruption in the Obama Administration and his Deep State, you are disparaged, prevented from speaking and attacked.
This is happening every day in every mainstream and social media platform, including Facebook, Twitter and others. This is what I write about and want to get out but I can’t.  I am being censored by the same entities I attempt to write about who are censoring the Gateway Pundit and many other large conservative websites.
It’s sad that in today’s world, global elites and corporations are doing all they can to shut down free speech in America.  Why do they not like, cherish or fight for freedom?  Why do they censor those that do?

It’s Official: America Is Following China’s Lead – Contact Tracing Is Here – Say Goodbye to Freedom and Hello to State Control

In May we reported on our concerns with contact tracing and our loss of freedom as a result of this practice.  We reported that contact tracers will track you and tell you what you can and cannot do. You will be a puppet of the state. You must do what they say for the greater good. Freedom will be lost forever.

We reported that Democrat states were promoting the idea of “contact tracing” and when you realize what it is, you will think you are living in Orwell’s 1984.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot cheered the news that Chicago was hiring 600 tracers to track its citizens using the coronavirus as the excuse.  We then shared an excellent video (which has now been taken down by YouTube) that explained the madness behind contact tracing. In the video the following points were made:

  1. Of course John Hopkins offers contact tracer training (connected to the scary overboard coronavirus chart)
  2. Based on you coming in contact with a person who has COVID-19 you will be placed in total isolation for 10 days
  3. If you have no way of not sharing a bathroom you will need to be isolated
  4. If you are quarantined you will be isolated for 14 days
  5. A contact tracer will take care of your kids but you cannot leave your house
  6. If you eat at a restaurant and someone was found with COVID you will be quarantined
  7. Big government will video conference you and review your place to make sure you are isolated
  8. If you contract it your family will have to be quarantined for 14 days and completely isolated
  9. If you were on a train, at work or in a restaurant then everyone near you will have to be quarantined
  10. They say this is voluntary but will arrest you if you don’t comply
  11. You could be quarantined again, and again, and again
  12. Training encourages contact tracers to know you are doing this for the greater good
  13. The government will mandate you to take vaccines
  14. Apple phones are now upgraded to manage your phone for COVID contact tracing
  15. In India you have to show your app before getting on a train or taking a flight, etc.
  16. New Zealand has a code that will clear you based on your app status

The government is asking for $100 billion to manage this process and force you to take vaccinations – (the video has also been removed by YouTube).

Communist China

Communist China is the role model for contact tracing.  Imagine a world where you can only enter a restaurant, business, taxi or any public or private entity based on your contact tracing score.  This is happening in China now.

According to Nowtheendbegins.com (picture above from their site), China is now implementing contact tracing:

Restaurants and malls are open, but to enter, customers have to activate a health code on their smartphones. The code tracks their movements and determines whether they have been to any risky places. Only those with green codes are allowed in. Many offices insist on green codes, too. A red code, or even an amber one, is the scarlet letter of 2020. You can have concerns about privacy, or you can have a functioning life. You can’t have both. Security guards with temperature guns man the gates at supermarkets and residential compounds, pointing them at the wrists of every person who wants to enter.

Of course, the ratings of individuals are determined by unnamed and unseen individuals.  Your phone tells them where you are.  Your access to everyday life is dependent on the state and how they rate you.  Someone, somewhere is allowing you to leave your house or not.  You can only do so with their permission.

The USA

We received an email from a concerned citizen (who we will keep anonymous) from Texas who believes the state is now gearing up for contact tracing.  The individual received a call from a number unknown to them that said the following:

The problem is the individual has not traveled recently and has barely left the house.  The call came from an unknown number and with the above voice message directing the individual to stay home for 14 days after arriving in Texas.  (The individual never left Texas).

After responding to the call and calling the number from which it came, the individual was directed to an individual claiming to be from the Texas DSHS (Department of State Health Services). Later in the day the individual received a response from the main DSHS email address stating that they did not have access to the information but a call from the number supplied would have been from their contact tracing team, ” trying to reach you.”

To think that this massive invasion of privacy is due to a virus that attacks only the elderly and sick and has a seven times less chance of killing a child than the flu!  Welcome to the world of contact tracing – say goodbye to privacy and freedom.

Biden Goes Into Blank Stare After Forgetting Where He Is, Tries and Fails To Pass It Off as Joke

You know the old joke about the band that forgets what city it’s in? “Good evening, Buffalo!” the lead singer will say. The crowd will go silent. The bassist will lean over to him and whisper, “We’re in Pittsburgh.” It’s a dad joke almost as old as Joe Biden. And, unfortunately, Joe Biden seems to…

Has “Settle For Biden” Become The Official Democratic Campaign Slogan For 2020?

Has "Settle For Biden" Become The Official Democratic Campaign Slogan For 2020?

Tyler Durden

Thu, 07/30/2020 – 11:05

What better way to get the Democratic party "fired up" for what is increasingly looking like Hillary 2.0 than to put up a website encouraging them to "settle" for the party’s nominee?

Enter the folks at Settle For Biden. 

Yes, it’s a real campaign and no, it doesn’t appear to be a joke. You can now head over to SettleForBiden.org to check out the Democratic party’s latest brain child, which appears to be a campaign acknowledging the same message the organization tacitly put out back in 2016: we know our candidate sucks. 

The website reads: "If Biden wasn’t your first choice this primary season, but you’ll do anything to get Trump out of office, Settle for Biden is for you. Join us in our mission to (begrudgingly) put Joe in the White House."

The site denotes that Settle For Biden is an organization comprised of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders supporters who are simply hell bent on getting Trump out of the White House – regardless of who the Democratic candidate is. The mission statement reads: "Settle for Biden is a progressive grassroots organization comprised primarily of former Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren supporters. We firmly believe that Donald Trump is an existential threat to the future of our people, our nation, and our planet."

It continues with brutal honesty: "We don’t like all of Joe Biden’s policies but we recognize that he is running on the most progressive platform in American history and that not supporting him would literally endanger the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans."

In addition to its mission statement, it offers a half-assed endorsement of Biden, stating: "Former Vice President Biden will be prepared on his first day in office to restore America’s place in the global sphere. He will be prepared to bring about the unity we need in the wake of recent civil unrest spurred by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and the countless other unarmed Black Americans killed by police in this country."

"Joe Biden will restore the United States’ place in the world," it continues. "He will be a president for every American, not just those who voted for him. Joe Biden will be a president who won’t keep us up at night. And right now, that’s the least the American people can possibly ask for."

Yeah, if he can remember what day it is.
