Joe Biden is called out by Tucker Carlson for threatening America and Americans with more rioting if Donald Trump is re-elected

Tonight,  Tucker Carlson focused on Biden's statement "....  Does anyone believe that there will be less violence if he [Trump] is re-elected...."  And Tucker described it as an intentional threat by Joe Biden and his speech writers  ---  "That's not an observation, it's a threat...."


Carlson also showcased how the Trump supporter murdered in Portland was targeted by another demonstrator moments before the shots were fired by a propbable supporter of ANTIFA and BLM;  and how the Kenosha militiaman, Kyle Rittenhouse, was stalked and hunted by the Kenosha rioters, and that he was chased until the final confrontations where he actively defended himself from the murderous mob and shot three of them killing two

Vito Bruno pathetically responds to devastating attack mailer by Gounardes' Campaign

The drumbeat continues, and it's Vito Bruno himself that's being beaten like a drum.....


In late July, it was a very hard-hitting expose in the Daily News  ---  now, in late August, it's a very well-composed, well-produced and widely distributed mailer into households all around the state senate district that Vito Bruno is running in  ---  telling everybody what a bad person Vito Bruno has been in the past, and why that makes him a bad state senate candidate now

And in response, this is the best that Vito Bruno can manage:  

"Vito Bruno for New York Senate...  1d... Desperate Gounardes campaign put out a mailer against me for which they should be embarrassed. But when State Senator Andrew Gounardes  ignores his constituents and brags about supporting the worst Mayor in #NYC history, probably takes a lot more for him to feel embarrassed. I will conduct a clean campaign about issues and facts. Mayor Bill de Blasio  can't help you this time Senator Gounardes. #VitoBrunoStateSenate "  [With a photo of Andrew Gounardes holding up a Bill deBlasio poster]

It's been many, many months   ---   even before Vito Bruno had been selected as the Brooklyn GOP  and Conservative Party Candidate for the New York State Senate for the 22nd SD  ---  since I warned the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party that Vito Bruno would be a terrible candidate for the state senate because of his very shady past and very shady business associations.....  Sadly, too many of my friends and former political allies in both the Brooklyn GOP and the Conservative Party did not listen.....

Then we here at "The Brooklyn & Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" started trotting out some of the facts about the past of Vito Bruno;  and eventually started calling him "Ratso" for readily apparent reasons.....  

It didn't take long for the Democrats and the citywide press to jump on the story and pick up OUR drumbeat rhythm  ---  they just plucked the easy low-hanging fruit on the Vito Bruno tree.  And a little over a month ago, what did Vito Bruno do in a statement to the Daily News, he admitted almost all of it, with a quibble here and a quibble there.....  And why do people like Ratso Vito Bruno admit things ???  >>>  They are looking to avoid worse things  <<<

Don't think that the Gounardes campaign and the Bay Ridge Dems don't know how to keep beating a drum once they've started  >>>  look at what they did to Marty Golden in 2018 <<<    And trust me,  they have so much more music to play against sex, drugs and rock'n'roll Ratso Vito Bruno  ---  and it all has a heavy drum beat and even maybe some cowbell.....

The recent anti-Vito Bruno mailer from the Gounardes Campaign is just one small piece of a broader Democrat pivot on the “Law and Order” issue.  Candidates like Republican-Conservative Vito Bruno will be used like a pinata to beat with a stick and pour out goodies in the renewed Democrat narrative about the phoniness of GOP pitches on “Law and Order.”

THINGS TO COME  [NOT BY H.G. WELLS] 

What is coming is that  >>>  the Democrats will weaponize the Vito Bruno fiasco and use it again and again against other Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party candidates, starting with Nicole Malliotakis in 2020  and continuing into the 2021  municipal races <<<    They intend for Ratso Vito Bruno to be the gift that keeps on giving for years to come.....

Remember, you heard that here first.....

Portland Mayor Wheeler's blatantly political statement and press conference was an apologia for do-nothingism on steroids

Mayor Ted Wheeler wheeled out a bunch of Democrat Party talking points against President Trump before he gave the first of very few details about last night's killing of an apparent Trump supporter in Portland, Oregon   


Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell spoke at the same press conference on Sunday afternoon.  He said police are continuing to seek information as they investigate the shooting of a man in a downtown area not far from where competing demonstrations, one a pro-Trump car caravan and another a counter-protest by various opposing groups  ---  he would not be any more detailed than that.....


Once Red Ted Wheeler was off of his Democrat talking points, he betrayed his more radical sentimentality strongly supporting the long-term street demonstrators in Portland  ---   he described those hooligans and brigands as  ---  all those in this generation who have been called upon to stand up and speak out against the systemic injustice in this country

The entire tenor of the Portland officials' presentations and answers to questions indicates that there is an aggressive, strong and continuing anti-Trump bias at the local level in Portland.....  That bias obviously extended to pro-Trump demonstrators from a time before their caravan arrived at Portland,  extending through the killing on one of their number by local left wing storm troopers, that continues after the killing.  Implicit in all of the remarks of the mayor and the police chief was a presumption and policy determination that local left wing demonstrators had a supervening right to protest.  Any other demonstrators were immediately cast in a suspect class of counter-demonstrators, whose rights were immediately deemed to be subsidiary to Portland's interest in protecting its local left street players.

It has been reported that,  the killing of the pro-Trump supporter occurred when a group of left wing "demonstrators" block the exit of the pro-Trump caravan from the downtown area. A mele soon erupted during which the Trump supporter was shot and killed.

The Portland Police Chief refused to confirm any detail connected to the killing of the man the night before.....  He said that he did not know exactly what groups might have been involved in the street confrontation where the victim was killed  ---  he even said that it might have been an incident of one-on-one violence.

First Black National Convention in almost fifty years outlines an upcoming confrontative "Liberation Platform" for the first hundred days of the "Next Administration"

The BLM-supported virtual "Black National Convention" was largely uncovered by  >>>  the Mainstream Media <<<  which instead focused on the "March on Washington" event staged by Al Sharpton that featured the families of people who were in some questionable police involved killings and shootings

The BLM-supported "Black National Convention" was significant because it announced that  >>> regardless of who wins in November, a coalition of hard left black radical groups like BLM, promised continuing confrontation <<<   ---   >>> Starting with the first hundred days of the next administration <<<

The BLM-supported "Black National Convention" was coordinated with yesterday's "March on Washington" event staged by Al Sharpton to the extent:  the online convention did not begin until all of the Washington ceremonies and speakers had concluded  ---  there were references to the virtual convention at the Washington event  ---  and there was an overlap of certain speakers for both

Last night, Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists and other leftist radicals held the first "Black National Convention" in about half a century.  This online virtual event aimed to “reach and engage four million Black voters across the US, build infrastructure of Black political engagement that transcends the 2020 election season, and create and ratify a policy platform for the first 100 days of the next administration....”

It was reported that tens of thousands participated in the virtual 2020 Black National Convention (BNC) hosted by the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), a coalition that included dozens of radical organizations such as Black Lives Matter (BLM)  (See "Black National Convention Ratifies Platform Seeking Black Liberation – ‘America Does Not Value Black Lives’ " by Joshua Klein, 8/28/20,  Breitbart News/ Trending   [https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/28/black-national-convention-ratifies-platform-seeking-black-liberation/]).   

The nearly four-hour-long event, was livestreamed on the website BlackNovember.org; and it was directed by award-winning writer and filmmaker Dream Hampton; “I have long thought there was great storytelling to do in the world of Black activism....  The real stars have always been these organizers who get things done.” Hampton told the AP.   The Black Convention's online hosts included activist and TV actress Angelica Ross, Phillip Agnew and Kayla Reed, who were veterans of the Trayvon Martin protests and Ferguson Uprising, respectively.  The  speakers included Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network; Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement; Raquel Willis, a writer and transgender rights activist; and Eddie Glaude, chairman of the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University.  The Black National Convention had originally been planned to take place at an in-person gathering in Detroit, the nation’s Blackest major city. However, since the coronavirus pandemic exploded in March, organizers shifted it all into being a virtual event. Friday’s "convention"was described as the largest gathering of Black activists and artists, albeit virtual, since the historic 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana  (See "Black National Convention puts spotlight on police brutality" by Aaron Morrison,  8/28/2020,  AP news Feed/ Yesterday [https://apnews.com/fd3c1e92f9dcf7de4c6ff74ca7c41592]).

It's quite likely that the Kinosha shooter, militiaman Kyle Rittenhouse, will get a pass on the most serious charges.....

If Kyle Rittenhouse gets a really good lawyer, he might even get off scot-free

I've seen and heard enough evidentiary quality material to indicate that the seventeen year old militiaman, armed with an AR-15, who killed two rioters and wounded a third, almost definitely can make out an affirmative defense of self-defense to all three shootings

Rittenhouse actually shoots the handgun of the third man trying to kill him right out of his hand, when Kyle's 5.56 mm round blew-up his assailant's forearm and elbow, probably destroying the ulnar nerve in the man's badly furrowed right arm

Kyle Rittenhouse looked like he was being chased across a parking lot when shots rang out behind him,  he stopped running, spun around and fired directly at his nearest pursuer who was hit in the side of his head and fell down between cars.  There was a momentary lull and Rittenhouse briefly doubled back and stood next to a person giving first aid to the person he had shot.

The obviously armed mob suddenly continued to chase Rittenhouse down the street away from the parking lot,  Rittenhouse ran somewhat ahead of his pursuers until he fell to the ground, was run into by a man that tumbled over him; and then Rittenhouse was hit in the head with a skateboard by another  pursuer that also seemed to roll over the 17 year old, momentarily causing Rittenhouse to lose possession and control of his rifle. While the assailant regained his skateboard and again attempted to whack Rittenhouse with the board,  Rittenhouse grabbed at his rifle, rolled over and put a round into the middle of the assailant's chest.

Rittenhouse didn't have any time to think about things, because a third man armed with a pistol was taking aim at the young man still on the ground, whereupon Rittenhouse fired in the direction of the gunman, hitting him in the arm about a foot above the gun he was holding until it was dislodged by the shot fired by Rittenhouse.

Kyle Rittenhouse got his feet and vacated the area,  probably by walking right passed several police vehicles with his arms held above his head and his weapon slung across his body at his waist as he walked away.

Vito Bruno seems ready to debate Andrew Gounardes on one pressing issue --- indoor dining at restaurants in NYC

I kid you not !!!  Vito Bruno seems to have had it up to his very bald head with alfresco dining  ---  and he thinks something must be done right now  ---  COVID-19 or NO-COVID-19


All of a sudden,  now that a pro-Blue Lives Matter killer has put the Black and Blue Matters groups into equal disrepute  ---  Vito has decided to go after the "fine dining" vote  ---  or at least the "indoor dining" vote  [there is (are) actually no "fine dining" establishment(s) anywhere in Vito's district]


I would say that Vito is "clueless"  ---  however,  he lost his "Valley Girl" charm a long time ago,  not long after the last days of disco gave way to Punk, Outlaw and "Heavy..."

What's the matter, Vito, does bus soot and pedestrian BO taint your strong garlic and red-sauce palate,  and otherwise ruined your gentile restaurant experiences lately ???

In any case, try the endive drizzled in a balsamic reduction, two different kinds of tangy  ---  and it clears the palate and the mind,  indoors or out.....

A FEATURE POST --- AN UPDATE --- AND --- AN EDIT: THE "UGLY LOCAL REPUBLICANS" EDITION

Last evening I wrote this comment on another thread  ---  it needs more coverage than that.....   So, here it is:

"RESPONSE: THE "UGLY BROOKLYN REPUBLICAN" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:10 PM"

JOKES ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN BESPEAK[ ] AN UNINFORMED MIND AND A BROKEN SOUL --- IN SHORT, YOU ARE TYPICAL OF MOST OF WHAT'S LEFT IN THE BROOKLYN GOP --- IT'S LARGELY A BARREL FULL OF MORONS AND REPROBATES.....

Almost each and every mouthy Republican active in Brooklyn that aren't really interested in Kenosha are truly ugly human beings."

And I think that a little bit of editing would be appropriate to put a somewhat finer point on it.....

My original text:  "....  Almost each and every mouthy Republican active in Brooklyn that aren't really interested in Kenosha are truly ugly human beings."  should now be read and understood going forward as the following:  "....  Almost each and every mouthy Republican active in Brooklyn and Staten Island that aren't really interested in  >>> all of the events that have occurred <<<  in Kenosha, Wisconsin this week are truly ugly human beings."


Just to make sure that you, my readers, are up to date, I mean mostly:

a)  the videos of the police involved shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha Police Officer Rustin Sheskey;

b) the coverage (as  well as noting the initial non-coverage by the MSM) of the riots, vandalism, looting and arson in Kenosha in almost immediate response to the police involved shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha Police Officer Rustin Sheskey;

c) the emerging details of the exigent circumstances surrounding the police involved shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha Police Officer Rustin Sheskey; 

d) the emergence of militia groups in and around Kenosha in response to the local and state governments' abject failure to maintain law and order in Kenosha;

e)  the shootings of three rioters by a 17 year old militiaman,  Kyle Rittenhouse,  who was a pro-"Blue Lives Matter" "outsider" from a nearby non-urban Illinois community;  and

f) the belated and skewed coverage of the competing narratives about the coverage of the police involved shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha Police Officer Rustin Sheskey and the riots, vandalism, looting and arson in Kenosha and the subsequent shootings of three rioters by a young militiaman by/in/on the various MSM platforms.....

It looks like the Kenosha shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, is one of Marty & Colleen Golden's and Vito Bruno's kind of people

Kyle Rittenhouse appears to be a very hard core "Blue Lives Matter" kind of guy, who either owned or had access to an M-16 kind of rifle  ---  Now don't that beat all  !!!

Last night,  a "Blue Lives Matter" guy just wemt out and popped a few "Black Lives Matter" folks 

One has to wonder  ---  will any of the other Blue-bies denounce the young Mr. Rittenhouse ???

So far, lots of cricket noise coming from the Golden's and Vito Bruno.

Hillary Clinton signals Democrats' that the time has come to completely undermine our constitutional republic if Trump wins re-election

Hillary Clinton, the former Democrat nominee for president and wife of former Democrat President Bill Clinton has told the present Democrat nominee Joe Biden not to concede regardless of the outcome of the vote on election night, shortly after the election, or even some time after the election  ---  

---   Hillary's ominous words were:   

"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances....  Because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win, if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless...."

It is now clear that leaders in the Democrat Party want to create enough chaos in the upcoming elections across this country that they will be able to tinker behind the scenes during the chaos after election day  >>> in order to claim a victory in 2020 even though they didn't win under the normal election processes.

Add Wisconsin Governor "Tony-Not-The-Tiger" Evers to the growing list of Democrat incompetents running things around this country

Democrats just keep outdoing themselves  ---  This new one is a pip  ---  Wisconsin Governor Evers tries to thread the needle with this  >>>  Order the National Guard into Kenosha, Wisconsin with specific orders to do next to nothing to protect citizens and private property  ---  even give assurances  to those "express[ing]  their anger and frustration"  ---  strongly suggesting that the National Guard is there to protect the rioters, looters and arsonists     

After immediately prejudging the case against the Kenosha Police Officers,  Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers threw gasoline on the fires in Kenosha when he authorized the Wisconsin National Guard to go into Kenosha after the first night of rioting, looting and arson in that city.  It all followed a police action resulting in the shooting of a black man in Kenosha on Sunday after he resisted arrest, assaulted police, attempted to escape and to use a car full of children to flee the scene.    

According to a press release issued from Governor Evers’ office, the National Guard soldiers would be used only to help protect infrastructure, including fire stations and utilities  ---  and the use of the National Guard was only on  a “limited mobilization” basis.   

Governor Evers also added this:  “I know folks across our state will be making their voices heard in Kenosha and in communities across Wisconsin...   Every person should be able to express their anger and frustration by exercising their First Amendment rights and report on these calls to action without any fear of being unsafe....”

Vito Bruno continues to demonstrate in the streets just like some of the other spoiled rich kids in ANTIFA

Vito is just so proud of himself for doing another of his "Look at Me  --  Look at Me !!!" street demonstrations  ---  this time it was around City Hall and directed against Mayor "Bill" de Blasio  ---  why would anybody expect anything different from somebody that encouraged and actively backed unlawful, disruptive and annoying street events  when he was younger  ---  that were very similar to what ANTIFA has been doing in Portland and other cities lately 

In fact, also today, in a perhaps related demonstration in Portland, the confrontation there led to violence and police intervention 

Does Vito B. even have a clue that he isn't running in a political race that involves New York City Mayor de Blasio and/or de Blasio's performance in office  ---  I hope he knows that State Senators have to serve in Albany and not at City Hall

You don't have to believe me;  this is what Bruno put up on his social media:

"Vito Bruno for New York Senate

 is with 

Vito Bruno

 and 

Joe Murray

.

1h  · I was pleased to attend a raucous, passionate, but peaceful rally with New Yorkers from all parts of the City telling Mayor Bill de Blasio we have had enough of him driving the World's Capital into the ground with his insane policies! Great to see so many friends there and also made some new ones. #TimeForChange #VitoBrunoForSenate"

Is the Mayor even up for re-election ever again ???   Does Vito know that if elected in November, he will not be serving at City Hall ?????

Patrice Lee Onwuka --- a not so secret weapon in the overall effort to re-elect Donald Trump

In many ways, a significant part of the 2020 DNC was aimed at shoring up a key Democrat voting block  ---  Black Women  ---  Republicans and the Trump campaign won't let the Democrats do that without at least a little bit of push-back aimed at that demographic


Instrumental in any contest for the hearts and minds of black women voters is Patrice Lee Onwuka  ---    Republicans that are serious about going forward into the second quarter of the Twenty-first Century need to learn who she is and what she is all about

Patrice Onwuka's boiler plate bio is quite simple and straightforward  ---  Patrice Patrice resides in Maryland with her husband and three children.  

She is a political commentator and Senior Policy Analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum. Patrice is also a senior fellow with the Alliance for Charitable Excellence, a project of The Philanthropy Roundtable; she's also a Tony Blankley fellow at The Steamboat Institute. 

Over the last ten years, Ms. Onwuka has worked in a variety of policy, advocacy, and communications roles in the Washington, D.C. area  ---  on issues related to the economy, employment, technology, and the criminal justice system.  Prior to moving to Washington, Patrice served as a speechwriter for a United Nations spokesperson. 

Patrice is a frequent guest on Fox News, Fox Business News, and PBS programs. She hosts a column called the New Agenda for Black Women on Newsmax.com and is a contributor to the Washington Examiner and The Hill. Her opinions have also appeared in the Washington Post, USA Today, CNBC, Bloomberg, and other prominent media outlets. 

Patrice Lee Onwuka was born in the Caribbean, Patrice immigrated with her family to Boston where she grew up and completed her early education. Patrice holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from Tufts University and a master’s degree in international relations from Boston College. 

Ms. Onwuka recently penned two very important articles: one about Joe Biden's economic plan for black women; and the other about Joe Biden's recently announced and confirmed Democrat running mate for Vice President, Kamala Harris.....   These articles are must reading for anybody that wants to weigh in on the 2020 race for the White House  ( See "Harris's Personal Story Won't Rally Black Women" by Patrice Lee Onwuka, 8/20/2020, Newsmax/ Home  [https://www.newsmax.com/patriceleeonwuka/independent-teachers-uber/2020/08/20/id/983146/];  also  "Joe Biden's "Fair Shot" for Black Women Is a Sure Miss" by Patrice Lee Onwuka, 7/31/2020, Newsmax/ Home   [https://www.newsmax.com/patriceleeonwuka/black-gender-gig-independent/2020/07/31/id/980031/]). Any inroads by the GOP and/or the Trump campaign into the black women's vote should assay as the purest gold  ---  a three, two or even one point shift in that subgroup would have a geometrically amplified impact on any hopes that the Democrats might have in regaining the White House in 2020.

Mr. Malaprop, Joe Biden, is being credited with a well-timed great speech, even though his first line was a clunker

“The current president has cloaked American darkness for much too long. Too much anger. Too much fear, too much division...." 

And all of a sudden it was made clear that in the 2020 Biden Campaign  ---   when it comes to presenting the candidate himself,  less is more  ---  Biden gave the shortest acceptance speech at a Democrat Convention since Mondale's in '84

Biden went back and took a page out of Obama's old songbook --- the 2004 keynote speech --- and mixed it in with the '60s song "Age of Aquarius" from "Hair" --- but also introduced a new "I Claudius" escape hatch >>> about the stuttering <<< with the young boy's clip aired shortly before Biden's speech

Echoing a theme first rolled out by Seattle's Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan --- Biden's acceptance speech and its related parking lot event evoked all of the "summer of love" & "block party atmosphere" that Durkan talked about when discussing "CHAZ" and "CHOP" during her interview by Chris Cuomo at the beginning of the summer

And just remember, Biden did say this quite clearly and without a stutter as part of his big finish: "There’s never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish when we’ve done it together”

If you listened to MSNBC, CNN or even Fox News --- this speech was something akin to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address..... Even though it was rather short and still contained some blooper reel material.

In addition to his quite awkward opening, near the end, and as part of his big finish, Biden said this: ".... ““There’s never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish when we’ve done it together,”....”   Yogi Berra would have been so proud.

Also briefly, he called our country "United America" (although to be fair he corrected that to "a United America").....

Nonetheless, all in all, it was pretty good show for our prospective Claudian Emperor,  Joe Biden.

So what was up with the "First Lady... Lady... Lady... Lady" riff by Joe Biden after Jill Biden's speech last night

Some have suggested it was another bit of Biden Brain Freeze.....

More likely, it was a lame Joe Biden joke

But what I think is  >>>  it was Joe Biden's doing a lead-in for one of our songs  ---

[Cue Dylan]
"Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen.

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you.

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead."

Thanks to this blog's prodding, Vito Bruno has started to get honest --- It was a long time coming.....

On social media, Vito Bruno acknowledged that State Senator Andrew Gounardes had a pretty good week  ---  whereas Republican-Conservative State Senate Candidate Vito Bruno, his Republican and Conservative Party supporters, and maybe some others backing him didn't do nearly as well

I don't know how touting the opposition's upbeat material about themselves and their campaign is supposed to help Vito's campaign, but they do say that   >>>   "Confession is good for the soul..."

BUT,  VITO-VITO  ---  IT'S BAD FOR THE REPUTATION and for your campaign going forward

I know that what Vito Bruno said is a little confusing.....

That's one of the reasons this independent Republican blog exists.....

You and Vito can count on us to "disambiguate" or unpack the prospective state senator's scrambled remarks and other campaign material in order to help keep it real.....

Anarchist Democrat flying squads hit the streets to intimidate the new head of the USPS in fight to get fraudulent mail-in votes counted in November

All doubt about the Democratic Party's alliance with and support of the increasing anarchist street mobs popping up across the country disappeared when a Washington based group of agitators called "Shutdown D.C." directed a flash mob of its supporters to fill the street and sidewalks in front of the apartment of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in Washington, DC, Saturday  ---   right up to the front door  

   

That demonstration followed closely upon several leading Democrats having made unsupported claims that President Donald Trump and the Postmaster General that Trump picked for the job — were making "changes" at the USPS which might interfere with or delay voting for those trying to vote by mail in the 2020 election.

Here's how a local affiliate of the the mainstream media reported on the "Shutdown D.C." street demonstrations:
"....  The organization believes DeJoy is “dismantling” the U.S. Postal Service in favor of President Donald Trump’s re-election. They said his actions contribute to voter suppression....  'DeJoy has fired or reassigned much of the existing USPS leadership and ordered the removal of mail sorting machines that are fundamental to the functioning of the postal service. Meanwhile, mail delivery is slowing down under other decisions made by DeJoy, such as eliminating overtime for postal workers,' the group said in a statement....  The USPS recently sent letters of warning to 46 states, including Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, indicating that it could not guarantee all mail-in ballots cast for the November election would arrive in time to be counted. D.C. and six other states were told that only a narrow set of voters may be affected, but Virginia and Maryland and 38 other states received a 'heightened warning' that USPS could not meet state-mandated deadlines...."  [CBS/ USA9]

As a bit of background, the NY Times has reported that "....  The protest comes after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and others last week asked the USPS inspector general to investigate 'all recent staffing and policy changes put in place' by Mr. DeJoy....”  Several other Democrats expressed similar gripes on other platforms and media.

The Associated Press reported that USPS officials have said it would run out of funds by the end of September without additional federal subsidy funding. The postal service reported a $4.5 billion loss in the first quarter.

Now, the mainstream media has to cover the progression of characters involved with spying on Trump and the Trump campaign in 2016 & 2017

At yesterday's press conference from the White House, President Trump told reporters that  >>>  “The fact is they spied on my campaign and they got caught....”    

In addition, the 2020 Trump Presidential Campaign issued a statement referring to the matter as  “the greatest crime in American history” 

It comes down to this [so far]:

According to his attorney on the case,  FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith is going to plead guilty to federal charges containing one felony count for the following  ---

At the time various government agencies started investigating Donald Trump's presidential campaign,  a fairly high up Trump campaign aide on foreign affairs, named Carter Page, had stated publicly that he had been a CIA source. 

According to the Intelligence Community's inspector general’s report and the charging documents against FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, Clinesmith received information from another government agency (most like the CIA) which showed Carter Page's having been carried as an “operational contact” between 2008 and 2013.

Nonetheless, when one of Clinesmith's FBI colleagues sent him an instant message as to whether Page had ever been a government source, Clinesmith responded that Page had “never been a source.”   When Clinesmith was specifically asked if he had something in writing to back that up,  Clinesmith allegedly altered an E-mail that he had received from the other agency.  According to the charge against Clinesmith he altered the E-mail document about Carter Page by adding the words “and not a source” and then forwarded it to his FBI colleague.  

According to the Federal Prosecutor's theory of the case against Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI relied on those misrepresentations in its surveillance applications and omitted the correct information about Page, even though any relationship between Page and the CIA would have been an important item to disclose in any applications for warrants to the FISA court involving the surveillance of Trump's campaign aide Carter Page.

It should be noted that the Intelligence Community's IG Report found "17 significant errors or omissions" in the FBI applications to spy on Mr Page;  and this indictment and plea only involves a small part of that.....

Many commentators already have opined that Clinesmith's plea is part of a larger cooperation agreement involving others in the FBI investigation of Trump, the 2016 Trump campaign, and President Elect Donald Trump's transition following his election in 2016.

Vito Bruno is an absolute hypocrite

When it comes to some of his own most outrageous behavior, Vito Bruno wants us to forget about what he was up to and all about over forty years ago.  However, when it came to an elderly prisoner, directly at risk from COVID-19, the fact that his crimes were over forty years ago meant nothing to Vito Bruno  ---  even though the NYS Parole Board granted the man parole after a hearing.  Vito pretended to be outraged at the state's bureaucrats.


It's long past the time for Ratso Vito Bruno to acknowledge everything that he did back as far as the 1970's;  and a good place to start would be to lay bare any sworn testimony that he might have given related to the operation of several Manhattan clubs back in the day  ---  some of whose principals went to prison for crimes connected to the operations of some of those clubs,  and at some of which clubs there were homicides and other serious gunshot injuries on several occasions

When you come down to it, and if you go by his social media postings  ---  Vito Bruno doesn't have very much to say about anything.  He seems focused on touting his support by very old men that don't live in his district; or the crimes and punishment of very old men that don't live there either.

BIDEN GETS A BACKHAND "BITCH SLAP" BY THE U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL --- After Joe tried to take some credit for the Israel-UAE deal

Friday morning  ---   U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said that former Vice President Joe Biden had contributed to the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) only to the extent of being equally “hostile” to both sides while serving as the VP under President Obama

This is what Joe Biden had said: 

"The coming together of Israel and Arab states builds on the efforts of multiple administrations to foster a broader Arab-Israeli opening, including the efforts of the Obama-Biden administration to build on the Arab Peace Initiative. I personally spent time with leaders of both Israel and UAE during our administration building the case for cooperation and broader engagement and the benefits it could deliver to both nations, and I am gratified by today’s announcement."

When told of Presidential Candidate Biden's claim for some of the credit,  Ambassador  Friedman explained that   ---   if Biden deserved any "credit" whatsoever, it was only to the extent of the Obama-Biden administration being so hostile to both Israel and the UAE that both sides realized they had to work together.  

The U.S. Ambassador's exact words were:
“I think the credit that he [Biden] deserves is he was — they were so bad and so hostile to both Israel and the Emirates that it caused both of them to commiserate a little bit, which was something that we were able to take advantage of when the president [Trump] took office....   So, to that extent, I think the Obama policy was so terrible that it probably created more of a commonality of interest between Israel and the Emirates....”

BACKGROUND

Ambassador David Friedman has been instrumental in several achievements in U.S. Middle Eastern policy during the administration of President Trump.  

Those achievements include: the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Israel into Jerusalem; the recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights; the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal; the offer of a new Middle East peace plan, which allows Israeli sovereignty throughout Judea and Samaria,  aka "The West Bank”:  and the creation of several; new pro-U.S. Arab alliances that facilitates the recognition of Israel in the region.

Kamala-Shamala !!! Who cares how Tucker Pronounces Ms. Harris Name ???

The important thing is that everybody remembers that she is La Mala Kamala and nobody's real "Momala"  ---  unlike how she dissembled at yesterday's roll out with Biden.....


Most of all let's not forget that La Mala Kamala is the biological spawn of a pair of sixties immigrant radicals  ---  people who came to this country specifically to participate in radical campus activities and tell real Americans what was wrong with America

According to Al Jazeera, "....  [Kamala] Harris was born in Oakland, California in 1964 to a British Jamaican-born father, Donald Harris, and an Indian mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris. She spent many of her formative years in nearby Berkeley.... [Harris' mother] Shyamala was born in 1938 in Chennai, formerly Madras in British India. She came to the US for graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where she met her future husband, a doctoral student in economics in the early 1960s...." ( See "Kamala Harris is influenced by her Indian and Jamaican heritage 'Historic day for Indian community', Harris's uncle cheers from India as US Democrats make appeal to people of colour"  by Staff Writer(s) for Al Jezeera News Agency, 8/13/2020,  Al Jazeera/ News/ US Elections 2020   [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/kamala-harris-influenced-indian-jamaican-heritage-200812170300624.html]).

Lest there be any doubt about the 1960's radicalism of Kamala Harris' parents, Al Jazeera added these details:  "....  For two freethinking young people drawn to activism, they landed on [the Berkeley] campus from opposite sides of the world just as US protests exploded around civil rights, the Vietnam War and voting rights. Their paths crossed in those movements, and they fell in love, according to an Associated Press 2019 candidate profile of Harris....  At the heart of Harris's parents' activism was a small group of students who met every Sunday to discuss the books of Black authors and grassroots activity around the world, from the anti-apartheid Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa to liberation movements in Latin America to the Black separatist preaching of Malcolm X in the US...."

The article went on to say that Harris' family members have observed that Kamala Harris self-identifies as Indian (South Asian), Jamaican and Afro-American.  That is something that her sometimes estranged father has characterized as "... a 'travesty' and a 'shameful pursuit of identity politics...'."

Parsing Joe Biden's Describing Kamala Harris on Day One --- She'll run the country, not me

Joe Biden says that Kamala Harris is the best person to lead this country starting in January 2021.....    Just think about that.....  He didn't say that during the 2020 Democratic Party Primaries, he said it yesterday right after announcing that Kamala Harris would be his running mate

So,  "THE QUESTION BEGS": 

Are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris running to be  >>> Co-Presidents <<<

They say that eventually the truth will out. however Joe Biden's verbal gaffery, malapropisms and addlepated utterances often stands that aphorism on it's head.  You see, because Joe is capable of blurting out anything at any time like he has Turret's Syndrome, sometimes he even blurts out the truth.  This time with respect to his Kamala Harris announcement,  it was right away, in an early Biden tweet about his choice to run for Vice President on his ticket.

Here's exactly what Joe posted in an E-mail:

>>> “I’ve decided that Kamala Harris is the best person to help me take this fight to Donald Trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation starting in January 2021.” <<<

That statement sure looks like Joe Biden has chosen to let Harris “lead this nation starting in January 2021”;   in other words, Kamala Harris would be allowed to lead our country once sworn in as the Vice President,  instead of Joe Biden's leading the country as the duly elected President of the United States.

Lots of folks have observed that Biden, who turns 78 before the end of the year (older than Ronald Reagan when he left the presidency),  appears to be showing signs of age and rapid cognitive decline; and they have speculated that Joe could not  fully deal with all of the duties of the presidency.  And, in fact, Biden himself said to a gathering in Iowa back in January of this year   >>>  that he intended to pick a younger running mate who “would be able to take over immediately” because he was “an old guy...”.

Well, he said it before and he said it again  ---  so,  he must really mean it.....  

Joe Biden has backed himself into a corner in his basement over making his VP choice

This VP thing has suddenly become a major hurdle for Joe Biden


By making all of it into a spectacle, the obviously mentally challenged presidential candidate is starting to look like he can't make a decision


Watch this spectacle turn into a cross between a dumpster fire and a head-on car wreck before Biden finishes

Now, prominent Black leaders and commentators are telling Biden that he MUST chose a Black woman to be his running mate or risk losing Black support  ---  maybe they'll call themselves the "Black Votes Matter" movement. 

The way Joe has played this, no matter who he picks will leave lots of people very unhappy and dissatisfied with how he went about it.  What's more,  this mess isn't distracting anybody from the issue of Biden's "cognitive abilities"  ---   it looks like it's a part of the problem of Biden's cognitive abilities.

WHATEVER !!!  THE DELAY  AIN'T DOIN' JOE NO GOOD.....

Will 2020 Republican Candidates Vito Bruno and Nicole Malliotakis be done in by bad life choices in each of their pasts

Nicole has a terrible pile of bones in her closet  ---  she's been a tough talkin' "Never Trumper"; but now she talks like she's an avid Trumper-pumper   ---  she also has been a pro-Con Ed humper-schlumper, and she still is one of its dividend lumpers, while Con Ed's service or non-service has left the rest of us in the dumper

And Vito can't hide his boners either  ---   that his name should be "Ratso" 'cause his associates were treated like "Mudd"  ---   and he also gave "coke" to a funny fatso, and lent him a car so he'd go very far; and Ratso-Vito cared not a bit that his sex, drugs and rock'n'roll meant hell, death and destruction to the SNL star

This past week or so showed that one can't easily shrug off the sins of our past;  and that sometimes different things can flare up like an old case of shingles or herpes..... 

For Nicole that meant another embarrassing reminder of her "Glory Days" as a Con Ed flack, and that she still has a regular income from her old client, as long as they are allowed to keep doing business as usual.

The recent passing of Tropical Storm Isaias, resulted in far too many outages, especially on Staten Island, along with several dangerous downed wire situations here and there.  All of it was a reminder of Con Ed's past record of bad service for too long. Nicole is wishin'  'n' hopin' for a lot of things, but pro-consumer changes in Con Ed ain't any of them. She certainly doesn't talk about any reforms to that utility giant.

As for Ratso-Vito, the K-Bridge rave did much the same thing. It demonstrated anew what unscrupulous louts these gangsta promoters really are. After all they are getting their cut out of whatever hell, death and destruction is the current flavor of the month;  just like Ratso-Vito did back in the day.  Then again,  maybe the K-Bridge Rave was one of Ratso-Vito's latest productions. How will we ever know for sure ?

Can the leopard change its spots or the tiger its stripes ???

Why should anybody think that Nicole and/or Vito are any different ?????

RUDY GIULIANI >>> SLAMS >>> HIDIN' JOE BIDEN --- in follow up letter to the Federal Commission on Presidential Debates

OSTENSIBLY SPEAKING AS A TRUMP REPRESENTATIVE...

New York City's former mayor, and now Trump rep and advisor, Rudolf Giuliani is "TROLLING" Joe Biden in a very public way.....   Trump's Campaign is continuing to push for a fourth and earlier debate;  and in a specific demand, Consiglieri Giuliani is seeking "ASSURANCES" from the Commission that the presumptive Democratic nominee, JOSEPH BIDEN, THE MAN IN HIS LOW CASTLE in Wilmington, Delaware  

>>>   WILL APPEAR   >>>  LIVE AND IN PERSON  >>> AT THE SCHEDULED PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES  

According to a report on Breitbart News,  "The Trump campaign trolled Joe Biden (D) — who has refused to hold in-person campaign events and continues to, largely, reside in his basement — in an August 6 letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, while asking for a guarantee that the former vice president will 'definitely appear on stage, in person.'..."  ( See  "Trump Campaign Seeks Assurance ‘Basement’ Biden Will Debate ‘in Person’ " by Hannah Bleau, 8/7/2020, Breitbart News/ Trending   [https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/07/trump-campaign-seeks-assurance-basement-biden-will-debate-in-person/]).

[THE GIULIANI LETTER]

The Breitbart article went on to say that Trump's attorney, representative and advisor, Rudy Giuliani wrote the letter to the Commission on Presidential debates and it said the following:
“We are disappointed in your response, but appreciate your openness to a fourth, or earlier, debate ‘[i]f the candidates were to agree that they wished to add to that schedule....  Your reply makes it clear that the idea of an earlier debate is, in effect, locked away in the basement, alone and diminished....  Since your current refusal to consider an additional debate or an earlier date is based on Mr. Biden’s unwillingness to agree, it would be logical to assume that any further changes to debate arrangements would hinge on his opinion. We must insist on a commitment that the two candidates will definitely appear on stage, in person – whether in a television studio without an audience or elsewhere – and not through separate, online transmissions where Mr. Biden could rely on notes, teleprompter, or handlers....  While we do understand that Mr. Biden has been sequestered in his basement in Wilmington, Delaware, for some time, President Trump still believes that the American people deserve to see the candidates for president side by side at some point....  We aim to continue to put public pressure on Mr. Biden to agree that Americans must see an in-person comparison of the records, visions, and vitality of the two candidates for president before voting begins...."

AGAIN SEEKS AN EARLIER DEBATE

Giuliani also used his letter to again seek an earlier debate, writing that the campaign “...strongly disagree[s] with your assessment of early voting in the upcoming election....  In 2016, 41 percent of all votes were cast before Election Day and that figure is certain to rise in 2020. Countless hours of television news coverage and miles of newspaper columns have been devoted to the effect of the coronavirus on voting, with the news media openly advocating for universal mail-in balloting prior to Election Day. Our concerns remain the same: Americans will have already started voting in 16 states well in advance of the first scheduled debate on September 29...."

ACCUSATION THAT BIDEN IS HIDING IN HIS BASEMENT 

The letter further expressed a wish that Joe Biden would “...  eventually realize that it is a disservice to the American people to try to hide for as long as possible....”;  and the Giuliani letter also made a reference to Biden’s basement bunker status by identifying “Basement” as part of the Vice President's address like this:  "CC: Fmr. Vice President Joe Biden...  Basement...  Wilmington, DE"

At present,   three presidential debates are currently scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 29; Thursday, Oct. 15; and Thursday, Oct. 22.
