Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) said it's "awful" that Judge Amy Coney Barrett's religion is being attacked as rumors circulate that she's the front-runner to be President Donald Trump's nominee to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.
"In a September 17th article by Sarah Rahal of the Detroit News, Sarah used statistics to paint the COVID-19 response record of Governor Noem in a negative light.
Specifically, she stated the following:
“South Dakota has 2,615 active cases and 193 deaths from COVID-19. The state has had a total of 17,686 cases from 171,523 people tested in a population of 880,000, meaning about of 2% of the state’s residents have gotten the virus. In comparison, Michigan has nearly 10 million people in the state, has conducted 3.5 million tests and recorded 114,692 cases and 6,631 deaths, meaning about 1.1% of residents got the virus.”
The data she presented appears to be consistent with the best data available on the topic, however, her focus upon the number ofcases would give readers the false impression that Governor Noem’s policies were almost twice as harmful as the policies adopted by Governor Whitmer in Michigan.
An alternative way of presenting the same information would be:
“South Dakota has had a total of 193 deaths in a population of 880,000 from COVID-19, meaning about 0.02% of the state’s residents have died from the virus. In comparison, Michigan has nearly 10 million people in the state, has had 6,631 deaths from COVI-19, meaning about 0.06% of residents have died from the virus.”
Smith’s pro-life Republican challenger, Jason Lewis, responded that Smith “made a career and fortune taking the lives of the unborn and she’s wearing it as a badge of honor. It’s disgraceful.” “She also said on the Senate floor that providing medical treatment to a newborn who survives a botched abortion attempt would be ‘inappropriate,’” Lewis added.
The head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) threatened to move the agency’s New York City office if elected officials will not control ongoing riots, according to the New York Post. Andrew Wheeler said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio have failed to “maintain order” in a letter to the two Democrats obtained by the Post.
"...Republican congressional candidate Kim Klacik wants to get rid of the trash in Baltimore, both literally and figuratively. Running in Maryland’s 7th congressional district, Klacik burst into national awareness last month with a brutal, visually poignant ad that featured her walking the streets of Baltimore and vividly displaying what more than a half-century of Democratic rule has done to the city. That ad caught fire and soon people on both sides of the aisle and all over the country knew about her. It’s amazing that she was able to cut through all of the noise in the news with one viral political ad. ...In this ad, Klacik is again walking the streets of Baltimore but she is now explaining some of her policy positions and how she would like to change the city. As she does so, the harsh present reality is transformed to give us a visual of what she envisions. It’s an amazing political ad spot. The production value is more like that of a well-financed short film than a campaign ad.

"...international investors have started piling into bonds denominated in Chinese yuan, now perceived as safe, to earn higher yields. The foreign currency value of the dollar has weakened and investors are fleeing to gold too. ...The lessons from all this are that the Fed can’t raise interest rates when it chooses to combat inflation.
It must finance huge federal deficits that weaken confidence in the dollar, and the Chinese yuan is emerging as a genuine rival to the dollar.
Fed monetary policy independence is gone, massive federal deficits threaten the dollar’s status as the global currency, and the Chinese yuan is waiting in the wings...Read all.
I want you think about when the liberal media paints Trump supporters as unhinged. Generally speaking they'll choose some rando Boomer who may be too willing to believe everything they see on the internet and catch them saying something crazy. Compare that to the liberal media's own Don Lemon

“We are plunging now into a deep mini ice age,” says British astrophysicist Piers Corbyn, “and there is no way out”.
For the next 20 years it’s going to get colder and colder, on average, says Corbyn who holds a B.Sc. in Physics and an M.Sc. in Astrophysics.
The jet stream will be wilder: there will be more wild temperature changes, more hail events, more earthquakes, more extreme volcano events, more snow in winters, lousy summers, late springs, short autumns, and more and more crop failures.
“The fact is the sun rules the sea temperature, and the sea temperature rules the climate,” explains Corbyn.
“What we have happening now is the start of the mini ice age … it began around 2013.
It’s a slow start, and now the rate of moving into the mini ice age is accelerating...Read all.
The Gulf Stream is key to Europe having the mild, habitable climate that it does.
Biden Voters Reportedly Attack Home of Trump Supporters in Minnesota | Power Line "The Democrats’ vow to “burn everything down” if they don’t get their way is allegedly being fulfilled. Last night in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, unknown arsonists attacked the home of two Trump supporters, burning the family’s garage and several vehicles and destroying a large Trump sign in their yard:
As shown in one of those photos, the arsonists apparently spray painted “Biden 2020,” “BLM” and the Antifa symbol on a garage wall. ...Not all the facts are in on this incident, obviously.
It could be that the arson was committed by someone other than BLM/Antifa.
But when those groups vow to burn down America, it is not surprising that many people find credible the possibility that they have done just that...Read all.
In the final stretch of the 2020 election, the issue of suburban voters is still a hot topic, including claims that President Donald Trump’s efforts to preserve safe and pleasant neighborhoods from forced diversity is really a “dog whistle” to whites to earn their votes. Trump’s efforts include reversing an Obama era housing rule from 2015 that required more than a thousand suburban neighborhoods that received federal housing and urban development block grants and other federal aid to prove no discrimination toward low-income housing existed.
Two ‘Uncommitted’ Voters from ABC Townhall Revealed to be Anti-Trump Leftists - American Greatness "It has been revealed that at least two of the voters from ABC’s townhall event with President Donald Trump were actually leftists who have repeatedly criticized the president, despite ABC labeling them as “uncommitted voters,” according to Fox News.
