[The Federalist] When Congress conducted an investigation on fetal tissue trafficking at Planned Parenthood following the 2015 release of undercover videos captured by the Center for Medical Progress, the abortion giant repeatedly stated reasons the federal law against fetal trafficking didn’t apply to its facilities, including one branch claiming it did not even have a fetal tissue program. But when Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) associates were questioned under oath in subsequent depositions, those claims proved to be false. On Wednesday, Planned Parenthood asked a U.S. District Court judge to censor video footage of those depositions.
A new video released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) on Thursday features testimonies given by PPFA associates contradicting former claims made by PPFA attorneys to Congress, media, and federal courts.
Documents show that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast in Texas repeatedly claimed it did not have a fetal tissue program, and that the only tissue transfer it participated in was donating placenta to a University of Texas medical branch. When questioned under oath, Melissa Farrell, the vice president of research at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, admitted her branch sold the "products of conception in its entirety," which means everything removed from a woman during an abortion, including the fetus, the placenta, the umbilical cord, and the amniotic sac.
Farrell’s testimony dispels PPFA’s documented claims that it was donating only placentas, which is considered an organ of all fetuses in utero.
That ranks up there with "collateral damage" as an unfortunate turn of phrase. "Last night the police shot a product of the conception in its entirety. Riots followed."

[American Thinker] Only a victory large enough to preclude the theft of the presidency by the Democrats and their minions in the media can forestall their plans for America’s future.
The rioting, physical violence, and destruction of property estimated in the billions of dollars experienced by Americans since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day was merely practice for the left’s coming exercise of power whether Biden wins or loses.
"It cannot happen here" has been the mantra of those blessed by God with the grace of living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yet, aphoristically, "past is prologue" and history is replete with the ruins of civilizations whose citizens believed the same.
Democrats thought their long march through the institutions had succeeded in giving them permanent power. They were convinced when Barack Obama pulled off the unique trick of descending from the heavens to ascend to the presidency.
Academia had long become a social justice warrior training ground with the supremacy of critical theory, implicit bias training, and a cadre of professors better than 90% steeped in leftist dogma having provided an army of reliable Democrats.
During the Obama Presidency, media, always biased and comprised of reporters and editorialists politically mirroring that of academia dispensed with even the pretense of "objectivity" to become nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Truth had become a matter of opinion with talking heads providing the opinions.
Intelligence bureaus, the administrative state, top military leadership, and every regulatory agency was purged of anyone not steadfastly liberal.
The left deluded themselves into believing that cradle-to-career indoctrination, deliberate media misinformation, and politically forced demographic change had finally created a permanent Democratic majority. They were "bigly" surprised when they lost more than 1.000 federal, state, and local elections. Donald Trump was the straw that broke the spavined camel’s back.

Once the election is over, President Trump can deputize all the police, and send in the troops, the marshals, the FBI, or the IRS, for that matter, to support them, putting an end to the violence. And then there is his plan for the inner cities, the one he’s been working on with Ice Cube and the rest he’s been consulting with. No doubt the initial steps can be done within the current budget...
Forty-five years to the very day Martha Moxley, just 15 years old, was savagely beaten to death, found in a sexually humiliating pose with her pants and underwear yanked down, stabbed through the neck with a broken golf club, Michael Skakel, convicted of Martha’s murder in 2002, is now a free man, never to be retried.
Though the murder weapon matched to Skakel’s late mother’s set, though Martha had written about her unease with teenage neighbor Michael in her diary — "a real asshole . . . I really have to stop going over there" — and though Michael, after the murder, bludgeoned a squirrel to death with a golf club, then tacked its remains over a hole with tees, it took law enforcement and prosecutors 25 years to make the arrest.
In those intervening decades, Skakel was a full-blown alcoholic who wrapped his car around a tree at 17, attempted suicide at least once, allegedly confessed to multiple people that he had done something so terrible he had to leave the country, that he may have killed someone, that he climbed a tree that night and masturbated as he spied on Martha undressing in her bedroom, that he stood over her dead body that night and ejaculated. He allegedly told at least one other person that he killed Martha.
But these are Kennedys, and the arc of justice is slow to nonexistent. Ask not for shame or empathy, either. In 2000, when Skakel was finally arraigned in a Connecticut court, he had the gall to confront Moxley’s grieving mother.
[Babylon Beezinski] U.S.—Tucker Carlson says UPS lost his Hunter Biden documents. UPS has reported that the driver who misplaced the incriminating evidence was a Jewish-American delivery man named Hillzekiah Clintonstein.
"I seem to have lost all the evidence on Hunter Biden - oy vey!" he said in a gruff voice as he stroked his long, black beard. "I was just on my way to synagogue when I realized it was gone. I thought I had left it under my pile of dreidels. I even checked under my yarmulke, but it wasn't there! Oh no!"
Clintonstein further said he'll look for it every day this week, except on Shabbat, since "You know, we Jews don't work on Shabbat, according to wiki--I mean, my rabbi!"
"I'm such a schmuck!"
The documents have since been found and were sent back to Fox News, though they are making a mysterious ticking noise now.

All the evidence was pointing toward him. He was off his meds. He was promised a bonus and a new route if he simply handed it over. No need to bring in the Feds, this can be handled internally by Men in Brown.
Ok, I had to look it up so here it is: The Mugwumps were Republican political activists in the United States who switched parties from the Republican Party by supporting Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the presidential election of 1884.
[TheDispatch] Nobody could believe this disreputable nincompoop had actually won the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States.
Seemingly everyone had assailed the candidate as dishonest and shady throughout the campaign, and as a result the intelligentsia agreed that he had no chance. All the newspapers, including the conservative ones, held the candidate in contempt—and they all backed up their denunciations with copious evidence and reasoned argument. The candidate was well-known, but had conducted his business affairs in a notoriously corrupt manner. His chances were so slim that the New York Times actually ran a headline that stated his nomination was "out of the question."
But the candidate showed no contrition and angrily denounced his critics as insincere. He insisted that he had never done anything wrong. The tide began to turn.

you say that Trump is a criminal. The Democrats and the FBI and etc, have tried very hard to establish his criminality but have failed miserably at doing so. You have some evidence that nobody else knows about? What is it?
Biden, on the other hand, appears to be a boodler, far worse than Blaine, and the evidence for that is very strong. It is true that with the apparently dishonest FBI, and highly partisan Democrat judges convicting him would be very difficult, but the evidence is there.
A nincompoop? Its funny he has induced North Korea to slow down its belligerence, has tried very hard to remove this country from endless wars, has, through deregulation and other policies promoted unpredicted growth of our economy that has been particularly beneficial to minorities, things that the Democrats have done as much as thay can to oppose.
Biden's ramblings on the other hand provide some evidence that he is suffering from dementia. Calling him a nincompoop would be cruel and nasty, but he does seem to be mentally handicapped. Someone we should pity.
Trump has been forced to follow policies of the previous administration in many ways, since he had no cadre of appointments to make and had to rely on civil servants many of whom hate him and do their best to destroy him, at cost to the country.
He is a danger to the country because of his control of nuclear weapons? He knows that those weapons are meant to discourage aggression, and has shown no sign of abusing this control.
Biden on the other hand seems often to lapse into incoherence, and that may well make him a poor candidate for such responsibility.'
If Trump's dishonesty is so evident to you, do you not wonder why the press, which is all out to defeat him, is not able to come up with even suggestions of it.
Biden on the other hand is noted for plagiarism, making up his own history, pushing lies and discredited anonymous charges.
You must believe that the press is afraid of reporting about Trump. Yoet you yourself in this article accuse him of dishonesty, being a nincompoop, blatant corruption, and much more. all charges for which there is no evidence at all, and all charges that seem to apply to his opponent.
Trump obviously loves this country and cares about all its people. The Left wing among the Democrats supports antifa and its politicians protect it from effective police response to its violence. They obviously hate this country as it is. Biden shows no strength to oppose them if he wins.
I almost believe that your article is a satire, and is meant to apply to Biden, not Trump.

Yup.
The 25th Amendment says: "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."
I guess that would mean Harris would nominate a Veep.
I'm praying my arse off that we will not face this alternative.
[DavidWarrenOnline] We are (the present writer included) creatures of our place and time. Verily, it is our divine task to overcome this "temporality," to escape our condition as animals, mere earthlings.
One thinks of the prisoners in camps during the war. (Any war will do.) The are creatures of the camp, yet each has a duty — not a dream, but a duty — to escape, if he can. He is not a common convict, who deserves his sentence, and has a duty to serve it out. Rather, he is the ward of an enemy who must eventually be defeated. And while he may be polite and "understanding" of his guards through the day — they might be conscripted soldiers, like him, who never chose to be camp guards; they could be "only following orders" — he will be looking for the hole in their fences and defences. I think of incidents in memoirs of captive soldiers. One must escape not only the camp, but from behind enemy lines; and with as many of one’s companions as will come.
But I am speaking by analogy of a spiritual task. Our camp accommodations may be quite pleasant; or at least more pleasant than the prospect of trekking across Siberia. We might be lazy. "There is a lion in my way," as the sluggard says, in the Book of Proverbs. The task may seem impossible. We would need extraordinary help to spring out. In the Christian religion, Christ is that helper.
"Fear not," He says, not only in his own Person, but throughout the Bible. Moreover it is Fear that has usually imprisoned us; at some level, perhaps, it is always fear. To be free begins (and perhaps ends) with the conquest of this terror. Not the "management" of it, but the defeat of it.
By this, I could not possibly mean that gentle reader should become a psycho, which he might do via hashish or other drugs, that suppress fear artificially. Rather we must overcome the intimidations of the world, while, in effect, plotting against it; wise as the owl of Athena.
Because we are moderns, it is hard for us to understand the simplest classical phrases. We take Christ for a kind of psychological counsellor. "Fear not" becomes the equivalent of, "don’t worry be happy." It is part of some mundane scheme for self-improvement, like diets. But as ever with Our Saviour, the meaning is more profound.
He calls us to Freedom — to dangerous Freedom — from the temptations and exclusions of our little enclosed lives. He says, "follow me," to Freedom, from the world.
From "the world," I do not exclude politics. The parties of pagan "progress" are desirous of slaves. Their policies are consistently those of the plantation. Their schools are (according to me, as ever) designed to idiotize the general public, to keep them "low information," and thus malleable. They manipulate fear — even unreasoning fear of the Batflu — to keep the people in muzzles and chains. They seek to "guide us" in the most petty ways; and they are habitual liars. That is because "the end justifies the means," for those without faith.
For they, too, are imprisoned by fear. And their worst fear, is that we will be unafraid.
As Election Day rapidly approaches it is impossible to avoid thinking or talking about what sort of mayhem will ensue.
I’ve talked to a lot of people who think that there will be violence in the streets only if President Trump wins. I disagree. The leftists have made street riots their calling card and aren’t going to suddenly become reformed if Joe Biden is a clear winner. They will find something to loot about.
There is a laughable narrative being pushed by the mainstream media about the looming threat of violence coming from right-wing militias:
[Red State] Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who seemingly obsesses 24×7 about a man he can’t get out of his head, is back with a final warning to the Democrat Party about Donald J. Trump. In a word, Moore cautions: underestimate Trump’s support at your own peril.
During an appearance on Hill TV’s "Rising" podcast on Thursday, Moore told hosts Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball that he believes the best way to estimate Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s support in the filmmaker’s home state of Michigan and other swing states is to cut Biden’s polling lead in half in their heads — and operate on that premise.
"Trump has tightened virtually every one of these swing states to the point where this morning — Biden’s five points ahead in Wisconsin. He’s maybe three points ahead in Florida, two points ahead in Arizona.
"Don’t believe these polls first of all, and second of all, the Trump vote is always being undercounted.
"Pollsters, when they actually call a real Trump voter — the Trump voter is very suspicious of the ’deep state’ calling them and asking them who they’re voting for. It’s all ’fake news’ to them, remember. So it is not an accurate count.
"I think the safe thing to do — this is not scientific — I’m just saying from my experience of being a Michigander. Whatever they’re saying the Biden lead is, cut it in half right now in your head. Cut it in half, and now you’re within the four-point margin of error. That’s how desperately close this is.
"It’s awful news that Biden is ahead by seven points in Michigan," he said, "and I have to fight against this constantly." Given that Moore accurately predicted a Trump win in 2016, he told Ball and Enjeti that people continually ask him to predict the 2020 election outcome.
Surprisingly, Moore all but predicted Trump will be re-elected.
[Breitbart] Flint City Council Member Maurice Davis joined Thursday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with host Joel Pollak to discuss his endorsement of President Donald Trump. He said the president has given a voice to poor Americans, whereas Democrats have never done so.
"A lot of people voting for President Trump, but they’ve just got to be on the the down low, and I’m saying pull the cover off of the Democrat Party," Davis said. "Stand up and be a man. I’ve been threatened with a recall on my council seat, and when [Donald Trump] said what do you have to lose? I can lose a council seat, but we’ve got everything as a nation to gain, especially this city that’s so impoverished."
"We’ve got somebody that’s going to help us," said Davis of Trump. "The narrative with President Obama and everyone else is middle-class and upper class, but with the administration of President Trump, everybody feels included."
