ABC's David Muir Hit with Renewed Debate Scrutiny After New Springfield Video Is Uncovered

ABC's David Muir Hit with Renewed Debate Scrutiny After New Springfield Video Is Uncovered: 

Muir is way out of line. His behavior was unprofessional. ABC spent the night defending Harris and sparing with Trump. Muir isn’t even “fact-checking” given the jury is still very much out.

He was just debating to help Harris.

If ABC were trying to convince viewers they were fair and impartial, they failed completely.

An explosive moment of clarification - Melanie Phillips

Israel is leading the fight of good against evil while the "civilised" world doesn't know what side it’s on - Melanie Phillips

The Iranian war of extermination against Israel continues to be a clarifying moment for the supposedly civilised world. 

As this crisis continues, it is remorselessly spotlighting those who stand against such evil and those who are shamefully siding with it...

• They fail to register the dozens of Hezbollah missiles and rockets that Hezbollah is firing every day to kill Israelis. 
• They fail to refer to the 12 Druze children and young people killed by such an attack in July on Majdal Shams. 
• They fail to note that Hezbollah has been increasingly widening its target range ever more deeply into Israel...

Escalation, it seems, is a one-way street. 

It never applies to attacks on Israel, only to Israel when it defends itself...

Making a House seat an inheritance - Don Surber

So the problem according to the newspaper is that a bunch of congressmen die and the House speakership changes.

Under the banner “Democracy in America,” the Jeff Bezos Post reported, 

“Imagine the unthinkable: a mass shooting of members of Congress that leaves a large swath of the county unrepresented and shifts the balance of political power in Washington.”... “In addition to ensuring uninterrupted representation for constituents, the amendment would discourage attempts to use violence to sway the balance of power in the House.”

'Muzzling Christians': Governor unilaterally makes it illegal to talk kids out of sex changes * WorldNetDaily * by Jennifer Nuelle, Daily Caller News Foundation:

"He can't just issue an executive order and prescribe law," Chris Wiest, an attorney in northern Kentucky that is suing against the order, told the Lexington Herald Leader. "This is really basic Con Law 101 stuff, and I think the governor knows it, frankly. He's not stupid, but he gets the headlines and he excites the base."

When you own the media...-----How They Steal: Democrats are Using an Easy and Almost Undetectable Way to Steal the Election From Trump - UOCAVA Voters - Will Anyone Stop Them? | The Gateway Pundit | by Patty McMurray

Are the Democrats telegraphing one of the key ways in which they could steal the upcoming election?
On August 12, 2024, the DNC released a memo announcing it would spend six figures to collect up to 9 million Democratic votes from overseas.

The DNC clearly states its goal in their memo:

For the first time ever in a Presidential cycle, the DNC is investing in Democrats Abroad.
The DNC is doing the work to win in battleground states across the country... helping fund their efforts to win the votes of approximately 9,000,000 Americans– of which only about 8% are registered voters from 2020 – who are living or serving outside of the United States.

Here’s the problem with the DNC’s stated goal:
The DNC’s stated goal of winning the votes of approximately 9 million Americans through its Democrats Abroad website seems impossible, given that according to a recent report by the federal government, only 4.4 million US citizens reside overseas, and only 2.8 million of those are of voting age...

Shrinking island, vanishing polar bears — the climate scare stories that turn out to be false By Bjorn Lomborg

According to studies, the land mass of the island of Tuvalu is increasing -- despite past concerns about it sinking due to climate change.

Looking back on more than 20 years of climate agitation, two themes emerge: 

• a stubborn unwillingness by campaigners to acknowledge any inconvenient science, and 
• ever-shifting favorite stories, first elevated and then dropped by the wayside.

The one constant: a fixation on scaring the public, which has in turn shaped bad climate policies.
At the start of this century, the polar bear was the emblem of climate apocalypse...
And then in the 2010s, campaigners just stopped talking about polar bears...

The Media’s Criminal Misreporting on Crime I & I Editorial Board

Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.

‘President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”
That was ABC News’ David Muir “fact checking” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris.

• Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.There were almost 170,000 more rapes, 300,000 more robberies, 1.4 million more assaults, 300,000 more claims of domestic violence, and almost 400,000 more crimes with a violent weapon...
  

But instead of trying to understand the mismatch, the press just treated the public like idiots. 

Here’s a tiny sampling of such headlines:

• “U.S. Stats Show Violent Crime Dramatically Falling, So Why Is There A Rising Clash With Perception?”
• “Americans Fear Crime Despite Downward Trends”
• “New Data Shows Violent Crime Dropping Sharply In Major U.S. Cities”
• “Violent Crime Is Dropping Fast In The U.S. — Even If Americans Don’t Believe It”

Why is the press so insistent on claiming that crime is no big deal?

Blackwater founder TORCHES Secret Service for second Trump shooting: 'The definition of insanity' | Blaze Media

Blackwater founder TORCHES Secret Service for second Trump shooting: 'The definition of insanity' | Blaze Media: 

“The special agent in charge there, before he was nominated to that post, had to scrub, had to delete his social media history because he was so vilely anti-Trump, and this is the same FBI office that did the bogus raid on Mar-a-Lago on this documents case, so if you think he's going to do an honest job at digging into leftist conspiracy to kill President Trump, no way,” he continues. “The state of Florida must step up and do their part.”

“Do you really believe that [Routh] was there in that place at that time by accident, or was he tipped off? Was he tipped off by the Secret Service, by HSI local law enforcement?

39 years ago, a KGB defector chillingly predicted modern America - Big Think

A disturbing interview given by a KGB defector in 1984 describes America of today and outlines four stages of mass brainwashing used by the KGB.

• A former KGB agent named Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov claimed in 1984 that Russia has a long-term goal of ideologically subverting the U.S. - It was updated in January 2023.
• He described the process as “a great brainwashing” that has four basic stages.
• The first stage, he said, is called “demoralization,” which would take about 20 years to achieve...

Referring to such people, Bezmenov said:

“They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.”
