U.S. President Donald Trump hugs American flag at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) annual meeting at National Harbor near Washington, U.S., March 2, 2019.
One of the GOP founders of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project said Wednesday that polls undercount the level of support that exists for President Trump.

"It is historically difficult to defeat an incumbent president, No. 1," Steve Schmidt, a former adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. "I suspect there is at least a point or two of undercount for Trump voters."


Comment: It's probably more than that.


Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a healthy lead in national polls. Biden has smaller leads in most of the six core battleground states, although recent surveys have found the race is tightening.

The president's campaign has routinely dismissed polls showing Trump is behind, pointing to 2016, when most election analysts didn't give him any chance of winning. Trump edged out Democrat Hillary Clinton in most of the battleground states and eked out victories in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, which had not gone for a GOP nominee in decades.

Comment: That's why this is happening:

'Rainbow-bashing': Trans activists have turned the word 'CIS' into a slur and they're getting away with it

Popularized by gender activists, 'cis' has found widespread usage within the online-sphere. But where some see a word that simply designates a person as non-trans, others view it as an insult, and in this they're not incorrect.

By definition a 'slur' is "an insulting or disparaging remark" and I fail to see how 'cis' doesn't match that description. Spend just a few minutes on social media, and it quickly becomes apparent how the label is weaponized. Cis men are portrayed as the beneficiaries of an uber privileged gender that doesn't work hard for their individual achievements. They're also deemed as emotionally unintelligent and a disease. Just the simple act of communicating with them is something to be scoffed at.

Ann Dorn, police captain David Dorn's widow, spoke at the Republican National Convention
Ann Dorn, the wife of slain former St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn, called on governors and mayors to accept federal help in putting down violent riots after recounting the painful night that her husband was killed.

Ann spoke at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, the fourth and final night of the proceedings. Her husband, a 44-year veteran of law enforcement, died on June 2 while defending a friend's pawnshop from rioters who were defacing and destroying property and looting businesses across the city. The riots broke out following protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25.

Caitlin Johnstone: QAnon is a fake, decoy imitation of a healthy revolutionary impulse

Many Donald Trump supporters religiously follow the QAnon conspiracy theory, claiming it holds all the keys to 'draining the swamp' and ending the status quo. It's a shameless distraction that ensures no real change ever happens.

Today the US president moved from tacit endorsement and evading questions on the toxic QAnon psyop to directly endorsing and supporting it, telling reporters "I don't know much about the movement other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate," and saying they're just people who love their country and don't like seeing what's happening in places like Portland, Chicago and New York City.

Asked about the driving theory behind QAnon, that Trump is waging a covert war against a satanic pedopheliac baby-eating deep state, Trump endorsed the idea but reframed it by saying that he's leading a fight against "a radical left philosophy."


Comment: Trump may have reframed it, but the author did so first. "Satanic pedopheliac baby-eating deep state" is a mischaracterization of the themes galvanizing support for 'QAnon' right across the Western world.


"If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to put myself out there," Trump said in response to the query. "And we are actually. We're saving the world from a radical left philosophy that will destroy this country, and when this country is gone, the rest of the world would follow."

Comment: You're never "free from any perceptual distortion." The moment you believe you are, The Matrix has you! Life is a process of constant adjustment. Some things remain true throughout, but many don't because context changes.

The interesting thing about QAnon is that it indeed began as a psy-op with outlandish claims, but seems to have grown into this international movement that 'absorbed' the core elements that are true (elites everywhere are psychos, the media's lying about everything, Trump and some other leaders mean well, etc). What it offered in the beginning were 'titillating breadcrumbs', and people 'critically corrected' much of it to fill in the blanks with solid truths.

The 'Q' motto of 'WWG1WGA' (Where We Go One, We Go All) pops up all over the place now, from anti-lockdown protests in Ireland to anti-establishment Dutch rap songs.

So what probably began as a US intel operation has taken on a life of its own and become something with widespread symbolic appeal, something which, if the author could adjust her lens of perception, she would spend less time railing against and instead focus her energies on the really dangerous psy-ops, like Covid-19...

Teenager Kyle Rittenhouse in Wisconsin shootings charged with six criminal counts: complaint

A man with a firearm raises his hands up as he walks towards vehicles during a protest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, U.S., August 25, 2020, in this still image obtained from a social media video.
Kyle Rittenhouse, a teenager arrested and charged in the shootings in Wisconsin that led to the death of two people and injury of another, faces six criminal counts, according to a court document released on Thursday.

The charges against Rittenhouse in Kenosha County include first degree intentional homicide in the death of Anthony Huber, who was carrying a skateboard when he was gunned down. A conviction on that charge alone carries a life sentence.


Comment: It fails to mention that Huber was chasing and attacking Rittenhouse at the time. A lot more than "carrying a skateboard", no?


Rittenhouse, 17, is being held in Illinois where he lives. He has a court hearing on Friday for his requested extradition to Kenosha. The public defender assigned to his case in Lake County, Illinois has declined to comment.

Comment: It's funny that Reuter's has chosen to spin this as a crazy gunman scenario. Whether it was right for Rittenhouse to be out there with a weapon is debatable, but his shots weren't unprovoked. Also unoted in the above article is that Rittenhouse turned himself into the police directly after the incident. Anyone who has seen the viral video circulating of the incident can see that.


Apparently Lin Wood, famous lawyer who represented Nick Sandman in the Covington case, is helping Rittenhouse to find representation and has set up a crowdfunding service after GoFundMe and Fundly both shut down campaigns for his legal defense fund.

Pedophiles are proudly posting their faces online

pedophiles posts
In a world where everything is becoming politically correct, pedophiles on social media have seized a new opportunity to rebrand themselves as MAPS ("minor-attracted-people"). The MAP community and movement are growing in size and picking up steam particularly on social media apps like Twitter, where the problem is becoming increasingly worse. They've constructed their own flag and often describe their attraction to children as a sexual orientation, rather than the scientifically recognized mental illness that pedophilia is.

The goal is the MAP community is to normalize pedophilia and convince those who are "woke" enough to begin to accept them and view them as a marginalized class. Their intent is to follow the blue-print of LGBT acceptance, with some even insisting that pedophiles should be included within the acronym.

With the insidious growth of MAPs online, more and more of these individuals are feeling brave enough to post their faces and attitudes toward those who hate them. Traditionally, MAPS have always hidden behind cartoon profile pictures, as anonymity was the only shield they had against (rightfully) major backlash. That's changing though, and we can now see these individuals willing to show their true selves.

Coronavirus rates in Oldham have prompted a local lockdown
A professor has claimed that 91% of neighbourhoods in England haven't recorded a coronavirus case in four weeks.

John Clancy said that he believes lockdowns cause non-coronavirus deaths as well, arguing that putting local areas into lockdown 'just in case' was an unacceptable response to "dodgy data".

The professor hit out at testing procedures in the UK, saying the system is in 'total chaos'.

And he hit back as fears mount over a local lockdown in Birmingham.

Comment: Even mainstream commentators are outraged with the fearmongering narrative and draconian lockdown:

National Guard activated in Minneapolis after homicide suspect's reported suicide

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) activated the National Guard in Minneapolis after police said misinformation about a homicide suspect's suicide sparked protests Wednesday night.

Walz announced the deployment of the National Guard and a peacetime emergency in the city late Wednesday. At a press briefing early Thursday morning, he did not specify how many service members were being deployed, The Associated Press reported.

"We once again see the unrest on our streets. And not just Minnesota but as a nation, this pain continues on," Walz said at the briefing.

Comment: More from Fox News:
A suspected gunman fatally shot himself Wednesday as Minneapolis police were moving in to arrest him for a slaying committed hours earlier, sparking looting in the downtown area, police told Fox News.

The man was with a female at a parking garage around 2 p.m. when they encountered another man, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said. The couple got into a confrontation with the man, who was fatally shot by the man who was with the woman.


The couple fled on foot but the woman was taken into custody by police a short time later. Authorities searched for the suspected gunman and found him just after 6 p.m. in the Nicollet Mall area, a shopping and dining district in the downtown area.

"As officers approached, he produced a handgun and shot himself," Elder told Fox News.

Surveillance footage of the shooting showed the man shooting himself near a group of people.


Officers did not open fire, he said.

Looting inside downtown businesses occurred after the shooting, Elder said, but no details were available. Officers were beginning to make arrests, he said. Videos posted to social media appeared to show people smashing windows and breaking into businesses to steal merchandise.


...

Police Chief Medaria Arradondo dispelled misinformation that his officers were involved in the suicide death, saying it was not officer-related.

"I will not allow to add more trauma to a city that's still grieving from May 25," referencing the death of George Floyd, whose death while in Minneapolis police custody sparked ongoing nationwide protests and riots.

He said one officer was injured, but not seriously.

Hennepin County Sheriff David Hutchinson told reporters downtown that deputies were assisting the Minneapolis Police Department. He urged people to go home and obtain the facts of the case before jumping to conclusions about what happened hours earlier.

"When the police do things wrong we need to hold them accountable, but this is not the case," he told reporters. "We as the police, the Sheriff's Office did nothing wrong tonight."

Gov. Tim Walz declared a peacetime emergency Wednesday night and said the National Guard and 150 Minnesota State Patrol troopers were being mobilized to assist local law enforcement.
