YOU’D THINK THIS WOULD BE BIGGER NEWS:

Instapundit - It’s (D)ifferent when they do it. - By Stephen Green

YOU’D THINK THIS WOULD BE BIGGER NEWS: An Arrest for Supreme Court Threats.

...Here’s one from May that gives the flavor: “I’m going to call and urge my fellow Vietnam veterans… to drive by the [Supreme Court Justice 2]’s house with their AR15’s and when f— [Supreme Court Justice 2] and his f— PIECE OF S— C— WIFE are HOME spray the home of these disrespectful mother f— with hundreds of rounds.”

The indictment doesn’t name the Justices targeted, but it isn’t all that difficult to read between the lines. Some of the messages call them “corrupt,” and one refers to the Justice’s spouse as his “n— loving insurrectionist wife.”...

Previously:

And this: “In 2020 Chuck Schumer stood outside the Supreme Court and threatened Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch by name. ‘You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.'”

United States National Defense Strategy Report Advises Course Correction on National Security

The next president will need to embark on a radically different path from the past two administrations. - Jane Harman

The next president of the United States will be confronted with a very different strategic environment than the one that greeted President Joe Biden.

• Supporting Ukraine and Israel in wars that didn’t exist four years ago, the U.S. military is stretched, and the defense industrial base lacks the capacity to provide the equipment, weapons, and platforms needed. Every day brings additional evidence that our competitors are cooperating more closely across military, industrial, and economic lines. 
• The viability of the all-volunteer force is in question. 
• Perhaps most importantly, as it underpins all other problems, the American public is not attuned to the threats the United States faces or prepared to support what is necessary to surmount them.
• China and Russia see U.S. political dysfunction and growing strains of isolationism on both the left and the right and believe that the United States is unable and likely unwilling to stand in their way...

Yes. There IS a difference between the political parties!

Vaccine-injured Americans fight to hold Biden-Harris admin accountable over censorship campaign | Blaze Media: 

According to the NCLA, the Biden White House, the Surgeon General's Office, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other elements of the Biden-Harris administration worked to "coerce, induce, and collude with social media platforms to censor, suppress, and label as 'misinformation' speech expressed by those who have suffered vaccine-related injuries." The amended complaint further details how this apparent censorship scheme has continued since the lawsuit was first filed in May of last year.

Gotta see this moron!-----Oprah's PRICELESS face when Kamala self-implodes right in front of her - The Daily Bo Snerdley

Vice President Kamala Harris seems to have reinforced how little she has to offer during her town hall with Oprah Winfrey.
The Democratic presidential nominee was forced to go off script, with no teleprompter or pre-written speech, in the interview with Winfrey in Michigan, delivering her signature word salads and essentially giving empty responses while she evaded actual answers to questions...

“Americans, by character, are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations. We believe in what is possible. We believe in what can be, and we believe in fighting for that,” she said.

“That’s how we came into being because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions for the love of our country—one of the greatest expressions of patriotism—is to fight for the ideals of who we are, which includes freedom to make decisions about your own body; freedom to be safe from gun violence; freedom to have access to the ballot box; freedom to be who you are and just be, to love who you love openly and with pride; freedom to just be,” Harris said.

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.”

"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: 

“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.”
