Undercover Huber proposes the "Biden Standard" for Amy Coney Barrett: Amy Coney Barrett should just refuse to answer any Democrat question in her Senate hearing by saying you’ll know my position on that after the confirmation vote | |||

Be prepared for loud noise and recoil |
The Democrats having a public meltdown during the hearing will be very helpful to Trump. They’ll try to control themselves, but I give them twenty minutes before they “Spartacus” all over themselves. Showing Americans everything they’ve been trying to hide for months. Harris in particular won’t be able to resist. It will be a sight to see. “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” – James Madison "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson | |||

^^^This, in my opinion, is probably the best reason to actually have the Confirmation Hearing for Amy Coney Barrett. Just make sure the rules are set up so that the GOP can call a vote to push the nomination out of committee after it's gone on 'Just Long Enough' for the Leftist Democrats to show their 'True Colors' and go 'Full Retard'! ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

https://www.americanthinker.co...when_fear_rules.html October 8, 2020 When Fear Rules By J. Robert Smith When our 74-year-old president was released from Walter Reed Medical Center on Monday night, he made this commonsense declaration about COVID-19: “Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge.” After President Trump triumphantly removed his mask upon his return to the White House, the mainstream media raged. CNN, which always serves as a bellwether for the MSM’s reaction to anything, led with this drivel: (CNN) - President Donald Trump staged a reckless departure from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday, telling his followers the virus that dangerously deprived him of oxygen and hospitalized him for 72 hours was nothing to fear before posing for a mask-less photo-op on the White House balcony. We know now that demeaning confidence and courage is fashionable among hacks -- two more American virtues to be ground under in a transformed America. Of greater urgency, the November elections loom, so displays of courage are precisely what Democrats and their media enablers fear. For courage in just one man can spread, serving as a remedy to fear in many others. Voters who aren’t scared into masks aren’t as likely to vote for Democrats. Contrasting the president, Joe Biden wears a mask almost always -- well, when he’s on camera. We suspect if cameras were present, addled old Joe would sport a waterproof version in the shower. Be on the lookout for that pre-election stunt. Democrats champion masks because masks acknowledge the rule of fear. They’re symbols of subordination and surrender -- yes, subordination to fear of a germ, and surrender of rights and freedoms. In this scheme, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are to be scrapped in favor of contentment with security -- however illusory -- under the watchful eye and guiding hand of corporatist big government, which, of course, is to be led by the cabal that Biden fronts. You see, fear is a means. It’s a weapon in the hands of Democrats. The mainstream media are eager henchmen. Power lust drives Democrats to use fear to gain what they covet. A virus, like a crisis, isn’t to be wasted. A contagion that helps manufacture a crisis is too tempting to pass up. Exacerbating fears, and full-on exploitation of whatever may stress the human spirit, are practically trademarked by cynical Democrats. Fear has always been an ally to tyrants, whatever the stripe. How dreary that fact, and how tragic the history of the last century, in particular. Red terrors, pogroms, Kristallnacht, and Cultural Revolutions are the dramatic manifestations of weaponized fear. But there are more mundane applications of fear. With learning, experience, and advancements, tyrants are honing the means. Tyranny is showing a blander face nowadays. Stalin’s stern look and Hitler’s glowering expression have given way to the corporate cool of Xi Jingping or the facelessness of U.S. corporate, sports, and education leaders who operate in a loose confederacy to impose “progressive” orthodoxy. Or via the checked-out expression of the Democrats propped up standard-bearer. Submit and behave well, admonish today’s autocrats, or you won’t have a job, your reputation will be trashed, and your kids won’t have a future. Sound familiar? What other is cancel culture, now being practiced on these shores? A kid with a MAGA cap, Nick Sandmann, can attest to news outlets eagerness to destroy his future. How many Americans do their jobs in silence, dreading that one remark, one act of independence, can cost them their incomes? Cancel culture is no more than a stop on the road to a greater smothering of rights and liberty. China’s evolving social credit system points the direction, where miscreants -- conspicuously, Hong Kong political dissidents and Falun Gong -- can be shunted to society’s margins. Still, all Chinese daily live cowed. Reported Reuters in March 2018: “President’s Xi Jinping’s plan to construct a social credit system [is] based on the principle of ‘once untrustworthy, always restricted[.]’” In China, though, there’s still recourse to the old ways for the hardest cases. The Epoch Times reported recently on the torture deaths of Falun Gong at Masanjia Labor Camp and Benxi Prison. Uyghurs, who are Muslims, are dispensed with en masse, condemned to concentration camps and forced labor. With cancel culture active here, why would we believe that Xi’s subtler ways are too great a leap for the gray conglomerate and the left that wants to run our lives? The technology exists and is being upgraded to move to the next phase of supremacy over us. F.H. Buckley wrote about the prospect of a social credit system in America. The Wall Street Journal, August 28, 2019: When you see your opponents as evil, such practices begin to look like fair game. Progressives today seem to lack the instinct to question their own judgment and have shed any skepticism about ideology. Given the left’s vicious self-righteousness, on display daily in the media, the question becomes whether it will accept any limits in its quest to impose its views on everyone -- especially if it gains control of the government’s coercive interests. What do we know about tyrants? We know that their appetites for power, for control over others, is never satisfied. They’re the next world’s hungry ghosts. Antifa and BLM firebrands are identified threats, of course. They’re provocateurs and herders. Lawlessness, mayhem, and violence are used to intimidate, to make citizens cower… in time, to drive them to seek refuge. How much are folk, frightened and wearied by disorder, willing to trade for order? History says much, if people are pushed enough. Democrats and the left seek a tipping point. Knowledge combats fear because it informs courage. There’s no shortage of facts and data that countervail what’s commonly accepted about COVID: that a viral sword dangles over all our heads. No such thing is true. Trump was intrepid, not foolhardy, in his declaration and in stripping off his mask. His was an act of defiance in the teeth of a formidable array of enemies… a challenge to the groupthink that promotes anxiety. A critical aspect of leadership is daring defiance, when necessary. Defiance serves as a rallying cry. The flag is planted. The fight is here, now. Think of colonists who signed the Declaration of Independence. Imagine defying the most powerful empire on the planet, the mighty rulers of the American colonies? Failure would have led these men to the gallows. Yet, they acted. It’s said that courage is best defined as action in the face of fear. Fortune favors the courageous. Our history isn’t of a people buckling to fear -- not for very long, anyway. We’ve been an intrepid people, willing to challenge our limits, willing to risk. Our rewards have been great as a result. Courage is requisite to freedom. A class has risen among us, full of conceits and impulses to dominate. They want to take our freedom from us. To do so, these toxic souls are manipulating us to live in fear. If we fail to act with courage, we’ll surely lose our liberty. If we act courageously, we’ll defeat this growing tyranny. We’re presented with a stark choice: courage or cowardice. The consequences of our choice are historic. J. Robert Smith can be found on Twitter @JRobertSmith1 and Parler @JRobertSmith. He also blogs at Flyover. | |||

REVEALED: Anti-Trump New England Journal Of Medicine Is Partnered With A Chinese Communist Publishing House https://thenationalpulse.com/e...nal-of-medicine-ccp/ The medical journal had never involved itself in U.S. presidential elections before, but recently published an op-ed entitled, “Dying in a Leadership Vacuum,” which implored American voters to remove President Trump office. The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), therefore, shares the same election preference as the Chinese Communist Party: a victory for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden. NEJM and the Chinese government, however, have considerably more in common. NEJM launched a Chinese publication, app, and website in late 2016. NEJM also partnered with Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House, a subsidiary of government-approved Shanghai Century Publishing Co. Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House boasts on its mission page how it belongs to “the first batch of “National Excellent Publishing Houses named” by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Propaganda Department and has received a host of awards from the government. Furthermore, the group describes itself as “under the guidance of the party and the government’s publishing policies.” The publishing house routinely holds meetings to entrench employees’ adherence to the goals of the Chinese Communist Party, including trips to Chinese government buildings, meetings with high-level Chinese Communist Party officials, study sessions on Xi Jinping’s speeches, and taking the Chinese Communist Party oath. THE SPIRIT OF COMMUNISM. The group held group-wide seminars on “learning the spirit” of the Chinese Communist Party, with high-level government officials attending alongside the group’s Editor-in-Chief: “Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House earnestly studied and implemented the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It held the first concentrated discussion and study on October 23, studying the original text of the work report made by Comrade Xi Jinping, talking freely and looking forward to future development. Secretary of the Party Committee and President Wen Zeyuan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee Yu Ying, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Editor-in-Chief Wei Xiaofeng, and Vice President Hou Peidong took the lead in reading and studying the first four parts of the original text of Comrade Xi Jinping’s report.” The group also pledges to “Use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era, arm the mind, guide practice, and promote work” and has hosted meetings to determine how to best “use Marxism” as “a sharp ideological weapon.” And these diktats don’t just guide employees’ personal lives; they’re also applicable to the group’s publishing efforts: “In political life and practical work, we must be loyal and honest to the party, ask the organization for instructions and report major issues in accordance with relevant regulations, oppose two-faced people and two-faced people; Reputation, any behavior or phenomenon that affects the image of the party. We must strengthen our ideals and convictions, regard our belief in Marxism, and our belief in socialism and communism as our lifelong pursuit, and stick to the spiritual homeland of communists.” In meetings, employees have even taken the Chinese Communist Party oath, with the group’s website describing those in attendance as “full of emotions, clamor[ing] and utter[ing] loudly”: “In the first item of the conference, all party members reviewed the oath of joining the party. Wei Xiaofeng, deputy secretary of the party committee and editor-in-chief, took the oath, and the party members stood upright, raised their right hand facing the party flag, and solemnly swore. At the oath-taking scene, the party members were full of emotions, clamored and uttered loudly. Every party member received a spiritual baptism, which enhanced the party members’ sense of pride and honor.” The compromised relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and the NEJM parallels the regime’s infiltration and coercion of the World Health Organization. Serving as a testament to the extent of China’s infiltration in the U.S., the relationship also obscures the American medical community’s ability to get tough on China and demand the genetic sequence of the virus be released. While the left insists we ought to “trust the experts,” it’s increasingly apparent that the so-called experts are henchmen for the Chinese Communist Party.

New National Poll of Likely Voters Shows Donald Trump Leading Joe Biden, 46%-45% He would secure 320 electoral college votes according to the poll. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/...ing-joe-biden-46-45/ A new poll from the Democracy Institute and the UK’s Daily Express reveals that President Donald Trump is leading Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, with a lead of 46% to 45% over the former Vice President. The poll was conducted after the news of President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis was revealed. 68% of voters said the disease would not effect their vote. 19% said that it made them more likely to support the President, and 13% of voters said it would make them less likely to do so. The Democracy Institute poll differs from surveys conducted by corporate mainstream media outlets in that it seeks to query what it defines as “likely voters,” as opposed to all registered voters, some of whom simply don’t end up voting in the election. The poll also accounts for what it describes as ‘shy voters-‘ revealing that 77% of Trump supporters are not inclined to admit their political preferences to some of their friends and family members. Winning the popular vote would almost assuredly deliver President Trump a whopping electoral college victory, with the poll estimating he would capture 320 electoral college votes if the poll results were concisely accurate. Many conservative voters in reliably blue states such as New York and California don’t vote. Curiously, “law and order” is the most pressing political issue in the minds of voters in the poll, with 32% of Americans identifying it as the most important issue in the election. This would certainly bode well for Trump’s electoral prospects, as Joe Biden has consistently refused to condemn the criminal ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter riot movements. NBC also released a methodologically slanted poll on Sunday, sampling a whopping 45% Democrats to claim that Biden was leading Trump by 14%. The electorate of the 2016 voting population was just above 30% Democrat, suggesting NBC’s poll is little more than political fantasy. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

56% Americans Say They Are Better Off Now Under Trump Than Four Years Ago Under Obama-Biden https://www.breitbart.com/poli...rump-four-years-ago/ A solid majority of 56 percent of Americans say they are better off now than they were four years ago, a new Gallup survey reveals. Only 32 percent say they are worse off than four years ago. The number is, as Fox News’s Laura Ingraham noted on Thursday night, “the highest Gallup has ever recorded.” Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The Gallup Poll has just come out with the incredible finding that 56% of you say that you are better off today, during a pandemic, than you were four years ago (OBiden). Highest number on record! Pretty amazing! 11:10 PM · Oct 8, 2020 Historically speaking, this bodes very well for President Donald Trump as he seeks reelection. Right around previous presidential elections when an incumbent has been seeking reelection dating back to the mid-1980s, never has this number been this high — or even at a majority. For instance, when former President Barack Obama was seeking reelection in early 2012, the number was at 45 percent. It stayed at that level through the election that Obama won until December 2012. Likewise, when former President George W. Bush was seeking reelection in 2004 — in October — the number was at 47 percent. The junior Bush won. When former President George H.W. Bush was seeking reelection in 1992, the number dropped down to 38 percent — and the senior Bush lost. But in 1984, when former President Ronald Reagan was seeking reelection — he won 49 states in a landslide defeat of his Democrat opponent — the number was down at just 44 percent. It is unclear what the number was during former President Bill Clinton’s reelection campaign in 1996 in the immediate lead-up to the election as Gallup’s chart does not include that year, but earlier in 1996, less than a year before the election in January, the number was reported at 50 percent. While the 56 percent number is impressive indeed — again the highest ever recorded this close to an election — it was even higher before the coronavirus pandemic swept across the United States. In February, a whopping 61 percent said they believed they were better off than three years earlier when Trump took office in January 2017. As such, while the number slid a little bit — five points — during the coronavirus pandemic the past six months, the number of Americans who consider their lives better with Trump as president remains at record levels even with all the disruption this year. All this means, also, that the vast majority of Americans think their lives are better off — literally during, again, a pandemic that has upended American life — than it was when Obama was president and Trump’s opponent this year former Vice President Joe Biden was Obama’s second-in-command. Even with the disruption from the pandemic, in other words, it is hard to see those people who like life more now under Trump than they did when Biden was in charge voting for a change. And it would amount to a serious historical aberration for Trump to lose, given the trends in Gallup polling on this question since Reagan asked it of the public in 1984. In other words, the only incumbent president who has lost reelection when seeking a second term since this question was first asked — the elder Bush — saw the number nearly 20 percent less than where it is now for Trump. And this year has an extra interesting dynamic in that the challenging party’s candidate was the number two in the previous administration, which consistently had a much worse rating on this question than where it is now under Trump. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
