[Independent] Conservative commentator Ann Coulter tweeted support for accused Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, saying "I want him as my president".
Twitter removed Ms Coulter's statements for violating the platform's rules after users took offence at her opinion, made in response to a user saying they wanted the teenager as a "bodyguard".
Mr Rittenhouse, 17, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in connection with shootings that left two people dead during the violence in Kenosha on Tuesday night.

I'm with you, Raj. She had her day 15 years ago or so, but I don't think I've read an article of hers in years. Her last gem I am aware of is when she proclaimed on some lib talk show that Donald Trump was the GOP guy for prez.
[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a spirit of generosity and fairness, President Trump has offered to clean out the White House basement just in case Joe Biden wins.
"In the spirit of goodwill that I am known for, I'll make sure the basement is all cleaned out and ready for Joe," Trump said as he clicked on the overhead light in the White House basement. Several lizard-like creatures scurried away out of the light as he turned it on. "Boy, it's dusty in here. Hey, look, a Game Boy!" Trump was then distracted for several hours playing an old copy of Earthworm Jim.
The basement was full of tons of clutter, from nuclear bombs and old Obama Hope posters to past-due bills for the country's massive credit debt. Trump did manage to work his way through some of the mess, but then he got distracted again, this time by a fidget spinner.
"Hey, Pence, bet you I can spin it for longer than you!" he said.
At publishing time, the always-generous Trump had also offered to install a stairlift for the elderly presidential candidate.

s Joe Biden forfeiting the law-and-order issue to Donald Trump?
So it would seem.
"Republicans Use Law and Order As Rallying Cry" was the top headline on The New York Times' front-page story on Vice President Mike Pence's acceptance speech at Fort McHenry Wednesday night.
The Wall Street Journal Page One headline echoed the Times: "Pence Accepts Nomination as GOP Puts Focus on Police."
In his address, Pence charged Biden with sinning by silence in failing to denounce the rioters, looters and arsonists who have for months attacked police and pillaged Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Kenosha and other cities.
Said Pence: "Last week, Joe Biden did not say one word about the violence and chaos engulfing cities across this country.
"Joe Biden says that America is systemically racist, and that law enforcement in America has... 'implicit bias against minorities.' When asked whether he'd support cutting funding to law enforcement, Joe Biden replied, 'Yes, absolutely.'
"Joe Biden would double down on the very policies that are leading to unsafe streets and violence in American cities. ... You will not be safe in Joe Biden's America."
Now, it is inexact to say Biden would "defund" the police. When the big agenda item of Black Lives Matter was first raised, Biden rushed to say he would reform the police and increase spending.
...It is three months since George Floyd ceased to breathe under the knee of that Minneapolis cop. But it is also three months to the election. And the political tide is turning, visibly and hard, against the arsonists and anarchists conducting the nightly rampages against cops across America.
The weariness of the public with the riots is palpable. The claim that these are but the understandable excesses of "peaceful protests" is getting stale. And the reaction against the riots and ruin in the Black communities, for whom they are allegedly being conducted, is growing.
Black leaders in urban areas are saying we want good cops, but we also want more cops to protect our people from gun-toting gangbangers who are running up rising weekly kill rates.
Tuesday, video surfaced of a mob of radicals surrounding, berating, cursing and threatening a woman at a D.C. diner. Her crime? She had refused to submit to demands she raise her fist in a Black Power salute and proclaim, "Black Lives Matter!"
...We are beginning to see how this all unfolds. And from here, it looks like the Democratic left is going to be the loser on all counts.
First, the big mandate -- "Defund the police!" -- has backfired.
The Biden media daily testify to its unpopularity by insisting Biden never endorsed it. Where police department budgets have been cut, shooting and homicide rates have soared. And Biden's refusal to endorse the mandate tells you what Democrats' polls are telling them.
The police bill passed by Nancy Pelosi's House featuring restrictions on chokeholds has been ignored by the Senate, and Republicans do not appear to be suffering for having ignored it.
The smashing of statues, which has escalated from Columbus to Catholic missionaries and saints, to Confederate generals and statesmen like Lee, Jackson and Jefferson Davis, to the four presidents on Mount Rushmore -- Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, TR -- is now seen even by liberal elites as excessive.

They couldn't possibly restrain the arsonists and looters because they ARE Antifa/BLM. One & the same.
All of the destruction was enabled by elected Democratic officials: mayors, DAs, council members. Democrat money funds them. Democrat lies & propaganda guides them. The Democrat Party owns this - lock, stock and Molotov cocktail

Biden seems to be going for the 'don't believe your lying eyes.' vote.
I hope enough people believe their own senses and not the narrative but I have some smart friends from college that are still spouting the same old nonsense.
[Babylon Bee] The Trump campaign has been making claims that rival candidate Joe Biden isn't fit to debate, has been "hiding in his basement," and may try to skip the debates so as not to embarrass himself. The Biden campaign has denied these charges and said that Biden is looking forward to the debates and a chance to confront Trump. They had some caveats, though.
"Because of the coronavirus concern, we will need to take extra precautions," said Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon. "Biden will need to wear an extra safe face mask that will cover his entire face. And while wearing it, his voice might sound different -- even have a different accent -- but that's just because of... the mask."
Dillon said that Biden should easily trounce Trump in the debate. "I think you'll be surprised at how well he does," she added. "It will be a totally different Biden than you've come to expect. But that will be Joe Biden up on that stage -- just unidentifiable behind a mask and sounding different and much more coherent."
Dillon also warned that it is possible that during the debate someone looking just like Joe Biden may stumble out onto the stage looking confused and wondering what's going on. She told the press that would be Moe Biden, Joe Biden's twin brother whom no one had mentioned until now, and he likes to play jokes like that. Silly old Moe.

Bee is sounding too serious here -- sounded like mainstream news. Down 1$.

Personally I think he'd be safer with a bag on his head. Except you know he'd have trouble with the eye holes.
(I'm not going for the plastic bag joke...)

Actually he will probably appear taller. Taller candidate win statistically and this is one of the few times he'd have a chance to judge height. In fact Axios just got caught adjusting an image of Trump and Biden to make Biden taller than Trump even though he's
3" shorter.

I agree, it could be all three, but there's a link somewhere, the Chi Comms are ramping it up at Sea more than usual these days as well, is there a connection?

“I don’t want to be responsible for Nusra guys saying they were trained by Americans,” the Green Beret added. A second Special Forces soldier commented that one Syrian militia they had trained recently crossed the border from Jordan on what had been pitched as a large-scale shaping operation that would change the course of the war. Watching the battle on a monitor while a drone flew overhead, “We literally watched them, with 30 guys in their force, run away from three or four ISIS guys.”
[RPI] Newsflash; real science is based on facts not "consensus". I'm sick and tired of idiots beating me over the head with pseudoscience instead of sticking to the cold, hard facts. Show me the hard data that standing six feet from someone is necessary. Show me the hard data that wearing any old rag on my face is going to materially stop the spread of a virus. Show me the hard data that enjoying fresh air and sunshine outdoors could be an invitation to an early death.
Please, stick to the facts and don't dare lecture me about the "consensus" and here's why. Maybe you've heard of Ignaz Semmelweis, an Austrian-Hungarian obstetrician with a prickly personality. If not, you will quickly recognize his contribution to the medical profession with the three words he made famous:
"Wash your hands."
This was way back in 1847. Dr. Semmelweis provided hard data clearly demonstrating that once he and his staff began washing their hands and disinfecting equipment between patients the number of infections and deaths dropped dramatically.
Unfortunately, the scientific "consensus" at the time held that there was no benefit to these measures and his advice was almost completely ignored by the learned medical community. In fact, many of his medical peers were incensed with his suggestion that they could be responsible for transmitting illness and disease!
At the time doctors took pride in their soiled gowns as a mark of their industrious work! It was commonplace for doctors who had just completed an autopsy to go to the maternity ward and deliver babies without ever washing up! After all it was the "consensus" and with so many doctors in agreement how could they be wrong?
Dr. Semmelweis died in an insane asylum in 1865 knowing that untold numbers of patients had needlessly suffered and died because the medical community refused to accept his findings and instead chose to follow the "consensus". Ironically, the same year Dr. Semmelweis died Dr. Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, began building on the work of French microbiologist Louis Pasteur regarding germ theory.
Dr. Lister began experimenting with various means of disinfecting wounds. He instructed surgeons under his responsibility to not only wash their hands with a 5 percent solution of carbolic acid but also wear clean gloves. His work validated Dr. Semmelweis discoveries regarding the value of hygiene and cleanliness in medicine.
Today we all benefit from Dr. Semmelweis groundbreaking work even though he was never recognized for his contribution during his lifetime. The moral to this story is that scientific "consensus" is often wrong. In no way can it justify the hysteria, lockdowns and wealth destruction that is being manufactured by the elites.
The Covid hysteria is emotion based, not fact based. Instead of cold, hard facts backing up the "science" we're told to shut up and accept the "consensus". As Dr. Semmelweis discovered the consensus is often wrong.

A particularly common observation from the wine professionals I emailed was that they are routinely poured less wine in their glasses at tastings and dinners than their white neighbors.

My grandmother, bless her heart, used to give me he occasional sip of MD 20/20 when I was but a wee lad. And if memory serves me right, A&P had a Heritage House brand of wine.
