Biden Mocked For Using Script At Kamala VP Announcement
by Shifra on August 12, 2020Looks like ABC did not get the memo to crop the script from the Biden-Harris pic. Via NY Post. Shortly after Joe Biden called Sen. Kamala Harris about tapping her as his running mate, the gaffe-prone former veep was mocked for using a script during his virtual chat, according to reports. A photo posted on his account shows the 77-year-old speaking on a laptop with the beaming California senator as he holds up his iPhone with its speaker facing the computer, suggesting someone else was on their call, the Daily Mail reported. But it was a sheet of paper seen under the phone that caught people’s attention…. Biden's staff had to write a script for him so he'd know why...

Moonbat Celeb Jamie Lee Curtis: Trump Supporters Are Stealing Mail Trucks!
by Shifra on August 12, 2020I swear, in broad daylight, the driver of the red truck had a red cap on with white letters. Conspiracy? Outright attempt at stealing the election by denying the access of the @USPS ? Let’s not let it happen! @JoeBiden pic.twitter.com/gG765Caldm — Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis) August 11, 2020 This question should be added to all cognitive tests: How are a USPS mail truck and a red tow truck alike? H/T Washington Examiner. And TAMS IloiloKano and TNGRRL73 weigh in: Are you okay? Should we try to locate your caregiver? — ChiCom Bat Virus Kano (@IloiloKano) August 12, 2020 Oh, Honey.

Why Bernie’s Call For 60% Tax On Billionaires’ Wealth Is A Bad Idea
by Shifra on August 11, 2020Confiscating, er, taxing 60% of the wealth of U.S. billionaires is really dumb. Unless you are a total ‘economics – illiterate,’ or an old Communist, er, Socialist Senator from Vermont. But I repeat myself. Via Issues & Insights. Senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has another bright socialist idea: A 60% wealth tax on billionaires to pay for nationalized health care for a year. Such nuttiness would be easy to ignore were it not for the fact he’s now the driving intellectual force behind Joe Biden’s basement-based presidential campaign. As any economist worth his salt will tell you, a wealth tax is perhaps the most pernicious tax, since it punishes people retroactively for their hard work, thrift and smart...

NYT Headline: Boycott or Not, Fox News Bolts Past Networks
by Shifra on August 10, 2020This story is on the front page of today’s New York Times…and above the fold. They must be guzzling the Pepto over at NYT headquarters today 🙂 Via NYT. ….In June and July, Fox News was the highest-rated television channel in the prime-time hours of 8 to 11 p.m. Not just on cable. Not just among news networks. All of television. The average live Fox News viewership in those hours outstripped cable rivals like CNN, MSNBC and ESPN, as well as the broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC, according to Nielsen. That three-hour slot is a narrow but significant slice of TV real estate, and it is exceedingly rare for a basic-cable channel to outrank the Big Three broadcasters, which...

Epic Fail: Joe Biden Snaps At Black Reporter: Are You A Junkie?
by Shifra on August 5, 2020Looks like Joe Biden has indeed been given a cognitive test, and we know that he must have done poorly. His strange comment about the “difference between an elephant and a lion” is actually a quick way to assess if someone’s cognitive abilities are intact. One of the questions is: “How are a dog and a lion alike?” The “two-point” response is, ”they’re both animals,” the “one-point” response is along the lines of “they both have four legs,” or “they both have tails,” which suggests concrete thinking and some difficulty in abstract reasoning. (The “zero” response is: “they’re not alike. A dog is a dog and a lion is a lion.”) So yes, the question is lodged somewhere in his...

SWAT Team That Caught Boston Marathon Bomber Disbanded
by Shifra on August 4, 2020Disbanding a highly-trained team that was able to catch the two terrorist brothers responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing…What could possibly go wrong? And here’s another question: Why won’t Biden say if he’ll execute the Boston Bomber ? Via Fox News. The highly trained SWAT team hailed for capturing the Boston Marathon bomber in 2013 is set to be disbanded, and the city’s former police commissioner expressed concern Tuesday about how it will affect counterterrorism. “The thing I worry about is the special expertise that these officers have in the SWAT team,” Ed Davis told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday. “They got set up a special training facility while I was the commissioner to do entries into subway cars, the...

NYT Op-Ed Calls For End of Presidential Debates
by Shifra on August 3, 2020Gosh, don’t you just love the smell of “Dem fear of losing the election” in the morning ? 🙂 Via Breitbart. The New York Times published an op-ed Monday morning titled “Let’s Scrap the Presidential Debates,” arguing that they play too great a role in helping voters choose the president. Journalist Elizabeth Drew assures readers that she is not worried that Biden will lose the debates. “This, by the way, isn’t written out of any concern that Donald Trump will prevail over Joe Biden in the debates; Mr. Biden has done just fine in a long string of such contests,” she writes…. She argues: Nervous managers of the scheduled 2020 presidential debates are shuffling the logistics and locations to deal...

Portland ‘Peaceful Protesters’ Burn Bibles
by Shifra on August 2, 2020Burning bibles has nothing to do with the death of George Floyd, nothing to do with police reform. This is about devaluing Judeo-Christian principles and attempting to taking down the United States of America. #RememberinNovember Via PJ Media. Left-wing activists bring a stack of Bibles to burn in front of the federal courthouse in Portland. pic.twitter.com/lYWY0x8n8P — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) August 1, 2020 On the 63rd night of riots in Portland, antifa rioters set a bonfire in front of the federal courthouse. Since they care so much about the death of George Floyd, they decided to burn Bibles. Seriously, they threw copies of the Bible on the fire…. Portland activist Lilith Sinclair explained the mentality behind her “protest:” “There’s...

Pelosi Denies Calling Fed Cops ‘Storm Troopers,’ Calls Bill Barr ‘A Blob’
by Shifra on July 29, 2020Nancy Pelosi (D-Planet Zog) now says she did not call the Federal Police “Storm Troopers,” but that they acted like Storm Troopers. Oh, ok, got it. That clears everything up. Now waiting for Pelosi to deny she called the AG a blob. Will she say Bill Barr just acted like a blob? Via Washington Examiner. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted to clarify her description of federal police in Portland as “storm troopers” following criticism from Attorney General William Barr by claiming she only said they “acted” like storm troopers…. Pelosi’s comment is at odds with a tweet she posted on July 17. She wrote: “Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti. These are...

Swing Voters In Focus Group Call Biden a ‘Puppet,’ Will Vote For Trump
by Shifra on July 27, 2020Oops: Axios let voters speak their minds, and the outcome was very different than expected. Via Daily Caller. Former Vice President Joe Biden is not mentally fit for the presidency, and he would likely become a “puppet” for the “deep state,” several Michigan of swing voters said during an Axios focus group session released Monday. The focus group included nine people who voted for former President Barack Obama in 2012 but voted for President Donald Trump in 2016. Seven of the nine swing voters said would vote for Trump in November’s election…. Bernie’s Campaign Co-Chair Says Voting For Biden Is Like Eating ‘A Bowl Of S***’ Are Fake News Polls Hiding a Potential Trump Landslide?

Climate Change: Study Shows Mediterranean Sea 3.6°F Hotter During Roman Empire
by Shifra on July 26, 2020Someone please alert AOC about this new study. Wait, on second thought, don’t. She would probably call for a boycott/shutdown of Scientific Reports. Because, science… or something. Via Breitbart. The Mediterranean Sea was considerably warmer during the period of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago than it is today, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports. The period of the Roman Empire, which ran from 27 BC to 476 AD, coincided with warmest period of the last 2,000 years in the Mediterranean, found the 8-member international team of researchers led by Giulia Margaritelli. Employing ratios of magnesium to calcite taken from skeletonized amoebas in marine sediments, an indicator of sea water temperatures, the researchers determined that the Roman...

Report: Three Federal Officers in Portland May Have Been Permanently Blinded by Lasers
by Shifra on July 22, 2020Well, as Nancy Pelosi has infamously said, “People will do what they do.” And looks like she includes purposely and permanently blinding law enforcement officers. As Tammy notes in the latest Washington Times column: Vandals, Marxists, Antifa lay siege to Portland, while Dems decry federal intervention After an effort by the legacy media to disappear the story, the nation is finally hearing about the mayhem and violence overtaking Portland, Oregon. For almost two months, the city has been in the grip of typical vandalism, chaos and bedlam that is the hallmark of the fascists group Antifa, a federal declared terrorist group. They, along with the Democratic-aligned Marxist group Black Lives Matter, have made Portland a hellscape for the law-abiding citizens...

by Shifra on July 21, 2020This just happened in the United States of America: A teacher was fired for supporting the President of the USA. Let that sink in. Via Free Beacon.

Flashback: Fred Trump Sr. Donates Land, Builds Synagogue in Brooklyn
by Shifra on July 20, 2020President Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has called his father, Fred Trump Sr., a “sociopath.” Yeah, no. Here is the account from Rabbi Shmuel Wagner, now living in Israel, the son of Rabbi Yisroel Wagner, who, in 1956, met with Fred Trump. Note: “shul” is Yiddish for “synagogue.” Via Queens Jewish Link. ….Rabbi Yisroel Wagner survived the Holocaust and made his way to Bolivia, in South America, where he served as the rav of a Jewish community. In 1950, he and his wife moved to California and a few years later to New York, where he became a rabbi in a residential area of Brooklyn, near Brighton Beach. Fred Trump owned 31 buildings in the area, with many Jewish tenants….Reb Shmuel...
