I second that. F that American hating P.O.S.
Treason has lost it's meaning and because he is of "Color" and a leftist, he gets a pass.


“Our actions may be impeded...
But there can be no impeding our intentions or our dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting.

The impeding to action advances action.

What stands in the way becomes the way.”

The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote has denied a request to halt construction of President Trump’s border wall over environmental concerns.

A number of groups, including the ACLU and Sierra Club, had asked the high court to get involved again after the justices last year cleared the way for the administration to use military funds for construction while the case played out in the courts.

A federal appeals court had ruled against the administration last month, but the justices, for now, have given another temporary victory to the administration.

The four liberal justices dissented from Friday’s order.

Hosting the debate against a backdrop of protests is not the image that ND wants to project to future students.


No, what I'm implying is that those on the Notre Dame debate committee or whatever they call themselves are leftist asswipes who are trying to protect Biden from looking like a buffoon during the debates. That's 100%. It has absolutely nothing to do with potential riots or the effects of the Wuhan, though that will be their excuse.

Notre Dame is no different than most big universities nowadays. It is a leftist propaganda machine.

My son just informed of this. May be the greatest thing Trump has ever done Big Grin Heads are exploding, "waaa, no more Tik Tok!"

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump says he will take action as soon as Saturday to ban Chinese-owned video app TikTok from the United States.

Trump made the announcement to reporters Friday on Air Force One as he returned from Florida.

“As far as TikTok is concerned, we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump said.

U.S. lawmakers have raised intelligence and privacy concerns about the company’s ownership. The company has denied allegations that it shares user data with the Chinese government.

The move comes as Trump has ratcheted up tensions with China during the coronavirus pandemic and stalled trade negotiations between the two nations.

The company’s operations in the U.S. has been under review by the secretive Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

Trump said he could use emergency economic powers or an executive order to enforce the action, insisting, “I have that authority.”

I have no idea, but I just think it is hilarious Big Grin. I do know that the main demographic are teenagers. Some of the more tech-saavy guys will chime in. But I'm sure some surveillance/ security issues are abound.

First of all, ND is not a big university and is not in the same category as Michigan, University of Wisconsin or Cal Berkeley. It has never been known for leftist propaganda. The reason they wanted to hold the debate was to showcase the University in a positive light. FREE Publicity. Case Western probably could use the publicity. I think your assumption that it had something to do with protecting Biden is absurd. Notre Dame has conservative Professors on its faculty and it is not the place that is going to turn your kid into a liberal jackass.

There are a bunch of articles and videos that show people using TikTok on iOS 14, and apparently the next iPhone update (iOS 14) has some anti-spying features? Or maybe it's just a debugging mode?

In either case, the OS was throwing up all kinds of alarms that TikTok was tracking keystrokes and all kinds of input and sending it to their servers, even when the user wasn't doing anything in TikTok.

To your question: I have no idea what they would want with data from kids, but if it scrapes data and contacts of any phone it's installed on, it could be a huge problem for anyone that communicates with anyone that has TikTok on their phone.

I'm not the smartest IT guy around though, and I'm sure any one of our other smart nerdy tech guys could correct me.

I found this quote:

quote:
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman called TikTok "spyware" at a one-day conference called "Social 2030" on Thursday, saying, "I look at that app as so fundamentally parasitic — that it’s always listening. The fingerprinting technology they use is truly terrifying, and I could not bring myself to install an app like that on my phone."

He added that he "actively" tells people not to install the app on their phones.


Plus Tik Tok is Chinese owned, the Communist Government lawfully has access to all data generated by the app, scooped up even when the app is off.

Reno Gazette: Recap: Assembly passes divisive mail-in voting bill as Nevada's 32nd special session starts

Lawmakers advanced a divisive mail-in voting measure and revisited a tense clash over mining taxes during the frenetic first day of Nevada’s 32nd special legislative session.

Friday’s battle over Assembly Bill 4, the elections bill, comes after a mostly mail-in June primary election that saw some voters wait several hours at one of the “extremely limited” in-person polling places state officials kept open during the coronavirus outbreak.

AB 4 hopes to shorten those lines by guaranteeing every active registered voter receives a mail-in ballot in November’s general election and any future political contests conducted under a statewide emergency declaration.

It would also permit some of those voters, namely the elderly and those with physical disabilities, to request that someone else fill out and hand in their ballot, a practice Republicans repeatedly decried as illegal “ballot harvesting.”

Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske has long planned a return to in-person voting after getting mixed reviews of the state’s first vote-by-mail election.

Nevada’s lone Republican statewide officeholder on Friday confirmed she intended to stick to that approach despite a statewide spike in virus cases, explaining she would need a budget bump of up to $5 million to pay for a second all-mail election.

But Democrats, seen as the primary beneficiary of mail-in elections, can override Cegavske under a controversial bill provision that lets the governor, not the state’s top election official, decide how polling places run in an emergency.

The measure passed out of the Democrat-led Assembly on a strict party-line vote after several hours of searing public testimony, much of which was repeated in a late-night Senate hearing that concluded without a binding vote on the measure.

You have to be freaking kidding me. If this is the crap they are doing in the open I can't imagine what's going on in the shadows now.

Sorry, friend, but I just believe you're wrong. The debate was canceled because Father Jenkins, an obvious liberal Democrat who also happens to be on the board of directors of the Commission on Presidential Debates, simply does not want Biden up on a debate stage against Donald Trump. He just doesn't. And he's sending a message to the other debate hosts that we must stop these debates. Call me cynical, but I believe that to be 100% true. Father Jenkins' motives seem very clear to me.

Ok you are cynical and entitled to your opinion. The debate is still going on but in Cleveland. ND is hardly a bastion of left wing thinking. Frankly, I support his decision. ND has done considerable work limiting the spread of COVID 19. Hosting the debate at this point in time on the ND campus carries considerable risk. I have not heard any bitching from alumni, and believe me they are a vocal group.

Yesterday I wore my original Trump MAGA campaign shirt grocery shopping. Two separate store employees complemented my shirt and spoke with me about their hopes for "four more years!" Today, stopped at a traffic light, a young lady in a Mercedes SUV next to me yelled over that she liked the Trump KAGA hat in my rear window. "Four more years!" she exclaimed before the light turned green.
This happens pretty consistently. I have never had anyone react negatively and try to give me any crap for my Trump gear. The media keeps publishing double digit poll leads for Biden and predicting the end, but I sure ain't seeing it on the ground. The utter meltdown of the left on election night will be something to see.

Yes, the debate is still going on...for now. But like I said, Father Jenkins' message is clear. Cancel these debates. Covid is a convenient excuse. There's absolutely no reason why ND can't host this debate without an audience. There should be no health concerns. Frankly debates shouldn't have an audience anyway. Father Jenkins' past speaks for itself. He is protecting Biden.

ETA: And yes, obviously just my opinion.

Have you ever been to one of these things?

I went to the vice presidential debate in St. Louis between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden which was held on the Washington university campus. Although I could not get in the room which was reserved for a tiny number of people the entire campus was a carnival atmosphere. It does draw a crowd.



An unprecedented number of media, approximately 3,100, descended on the Washington University campus during debate week. It was the most watched vice presidential debate in history with nearly 69.9 million viewers. It was also the first time that a vice presidential debate was hosted by Washington University.
