C-SPAN Debate Moderator, Steve Scully, and Debate Commission, Claim Twitter Account Hacked…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on October 9, 2020 by sundance

As we previously noted, the October 15th presidential debate was scheduled to be moderated by Steve Scully, a former intern for Vice-President Joe Biden and a self proclaimed member of the “never Trump” resistance group.

Yesterday the senior political editor for CSPAN, Steve Scully, accidentally tweeted a public question to anti-Trump resistance member Anthony Scaramucci.  It appears the public tweet was a mistake during a private DM (direct message) conversation.

However, after Mr. Scully outed himself as a coordinating member of the resistance; and subsequently destroying the credibility of himself, his organization and the debate commission; urgent damage control was needed.  Today, Scully, C-SPAN and the Presidential Debate Commission are now claiming Scully’s twitter account was “hacked“.

WASHINGTON DC – C-SPAN host Steve Scully believes his Twitter account was hacked, the network announced in a statement Friday, in the aftermath of a tweet sent from his account to former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci that raised questions of impartiality.

Scully “did not originate the tweet,” C-SPAN claimed, adding that the Commission on Presidential Debates was investigating the incident “with the help of authorities,” who were unidentified. Scully himself did not immediately comment.

Scully had been selected to host the second presidential debate, although the status of all future 2020 debates has been unclear. (more)

Perhaps the FBI will send 13 agents to help C-SPAN clean up this mess.

You decide…

Do these idiots think that after watching this criminality for five months, any sane American will vote for a Democrat?

Trump's Silent MajorityLast March brought us the results of the caucus and primary votes of the Democrat 2020 contest for the U.S. presidency. Out of a U.S. population of about 330 million—some stats include 40 million illegals, which brings the total to 370 million—the best Democrats had to offer was about 15 unimpressive candidates who the public saw through and sent packing. Left in the contest were:

  • Senator Bernie Sanders, an energized 78-year-old white, Jewish Marxist from Vermont, a keen admirer of Fidel Castro and Mother Russia—who represents his constituents as an Independent—who had recently survived a heart attack. 
  • Joe Biden, a 77-year-old, white, pro-abortion Catholic, former senator from Delaware for 36 years, VP of the U.S. for eight years under Barack Obama, and, even last March, clearly in the early-to-mid stages of dementia. 

But uh oh. When the DNC and Hillary & Co. saw the crowds that a feisty and passionate Sen. Sanders was attracting once again—and knowing that he would not obediently follow the agenda of the “insider” leftist-globalist-Islamist playbook they had been working to establish for decades—they once again, as they had four years earlier, engineered the ouster of Sanders in order to implant their exquisitely easy-to-manipulate candidate of choice: Joe Biden.

In short order, they garnered key endorsements, enlisted their media whores to omit any mention of “Jim Crow Joe’s” long and ignominious history of racism, and relied upon other career liars to camouflage the unmistakable cognitive decline of candidate Biden, which has worsened significantly over the past several months. 

IN THE MEANTIME

March was also the month when the China virus hit—“coincidentally” after the impeachment hoax imploded of its own fakery—and the Democrats realized that everything they had tried for four years to derail, actually to end, the Trump presidency had failed:

  • The Russian hoax—kaput!
  • The Ukraine hoax—a colossal failure.
  • The Stormy Daniels fiasco—a charade.
  • The Impeachment hoax—crashed and burned.

The China virus “pandemic” fit the Democrats’ plan perfectly—as did the “spontaneous” rise of the leftist-financed, five-months-long rampage through American cities of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, the rationale being that if “Trump’s America” was out of control, Biden’s America would make things better.

That is the same Joe Biden who echoed every word, philosophy and plan of action his old boss, Barack Obama, put forth, for instance Obama’s declaration to the American people that, “We cannot continue to rely on our military…we’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” 

According to writer Amil Imani, “Antifa and BLM are Obama’s ‘security force.’”https://lockerdome.com/lad/11136804967644006?pubid=ld-11136804967644006-671&pubo=https%3A%2F%2Fcanadafreepress.com&rid=canadafreepress.com&width=336

PSYCHOPATHOLOGY

And what have these “peaceful demonstrators”—as the corrupt media would like you to believe they are—done over the past five months to reassure the public that the Biden-Kalamity ticket is our country’s best path forward?

Fortunately for Trump supporters like me and millions throughout the country, these acting-out psychopaths have behaved so egregiously that they have literally insured a landslide reelection victory for POTUS MAGNUS!

That’s right, I said psychopaths. While the less menacing word for this species is sociopaths, they are one and the same. And the arch symptom of this pathology is a complete lack of empathy, the absolute inability to feel for another human being.

Reminds me of a song called “Nothing” from the musical A Chorus Line, with music by Marvin Hamlisch and the lyrics by Edward Kleban. 

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see what I had inside
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried, I tried.

[And I felt] “Nothing, I’m feeling nothing”
They all felt something
But I felt nothing.

Over the past five months, Americans with their eyes wide open and ears perked, have witnessed the thugs of BLM and Antifa

Want proof? Over the past five months, Americans with their eyes wide open and ears perked, have witnessed the thugs of BLM and Antifa:

  • Rampaging through our city’s streets and avenues, smashing the massive plate-glass windows of banks and office buildings, apartments and medical facilities with tire irons and other weapons of mass destruction. 
  • Destroying gas stations, bodegas and supermarkets, and terrorizing suburban neighborhoods and private homes.  
  • Committing widespread arson by igniting both small and large businesses on fire till they burn to the ground.
  • Overturning cars and vans, buses and cabs, shattering their windows, ripping out their seats and ripping off their fenders and, again, lighting them on fire.
  • Inflicting savage bodily harm on old and young, black and white—throwing them to the ground, kicking them over and over again in their stomachs and heads, shooting blinding laser beams into their eyes, breaking their bones, all often resulting in hospitalizations in intensive-care units and also deaths.

EYES + EARS

I cannot imagine even one person in America watching this hate-fueled carnage, these blatantly illegal acts, and not asking himself or herself:
Do these bought-and-paid for goons not have parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, siblings and friends who work in such businesses; who have spent blood, sweat, tears and often 25-hour days building such businesses; who depend on their work to pay their bills, care for their families? 

  • Of course they do—but they felt nothing!

Don’t these marauders know how painful it is to get kicked in the head, get the wind knocked out of you so you can’t breathe, see your skin peeling off from third-degree burns?  

  • Of course they do—but they felt nothing!

Don’t these domestic terrorists know how terrifying it is to have criminals shining flashlights into your home, threatening you and actually inflicting bodily harm, and making you afraid to shop in your own city?

  • Of course they do—but they felt nothing!

Do these idiots think that after watching this criminality for five months, any sane American will vote for a Democrat?

As if to emphasize their stone-cold natures, after they commit these crimes they dance and prance, laugh and high-five as if they’ve contributed something valuable to the world.  

And one more question: Do these idiots think that after watching this criminality for five months, any sane American will vote for a Democrat? 

After all, every single Democrat—including candidates Joe Biden and Kalamity—has uttered not one word of objection or condemnation while the beautiful cities of Seattle, Portland, Manhattan, Baltimore, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, Kenosha, et al., were being burned to the ground, their properties destroyed, their residents frozen in fear as they hear the anarchists’ chants of “Defund the Police” at a time when the heroic men and women in blue are more needed than ever.

Why? Because Democrats approved! So much so that Kalamity actually praised BLM during the recent VP-candidate debate!

It is no wonder that Ron Ross of Spectator.org writes that “Democrats have created scores of first-time Trump voters,” including parents, sports fans who detest seeing players insult the flag and national anthem, new gun owners, people fed up with coronavirus lockdowns, fracking fans who don’t want to see gas prices double, black and Hispanic voters who appreciate the employment offered by Trump’s booming—and now recovering—economy, the list is long.

By my computation, all this adds up to a 50-state rout for President Trump! Yep…eyes + ears = 50!

Duke’s First Rule of Politics: Under representative government, people do not get what they want. They get what they vote for


Shameful Moderator Bias at the Vice Presidential Debate


Selwyn Duke image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Selwyn Duke —— Bio and ArchivesOctober 8, 2020


Shameful Moderator Bias at the Vice Presidential DebateOne tragedy of this election season, as with all modern election seasons, is that the Democrats’ radicalism is being hidden from the American people by a complicit establishment media. It would have been nice, then, if Wednesday’s vice presidential debate could have been a teaching moment where light was shined on Kamala Harris’s and Joe Biden’s toxic positions. Unfortunately, moderator Susan Page’s bias made this impossible.

Page, USA Today’s Washington Bureau chief, made sure to inquire about how Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court would affect abortion, exhibiting the typical leftist obsession with prenatal infanticide. She asked Vice President Mike Pence how he thought his state of Indiana should legislate on the matter were Roe v. Wade struck down (I didn’t know he was again running for the Hoosier State’s governorship). This might be a fair question — that is, if Harris had been asked about her and Biden’s radical pro-prenatal infanticide positions. Harris supports “‘abortion on demand at any time, any where [sic], and under any circumstances,’” LifeNews.com quotes president of National Right to Life Carol Tobias as relating. And both she and Biden advocate taxpayer funding of prenatal infanticide.

The point is that Pence’s and President Trump’s abortion policies align far more closely with the electorate’s wishes than does the Democrat ticket’s radicalism. But the American people couldn’t learn this truth on Wednesday — thanks, largely, to Susan Page.

That’s just the iceberg’s tip, too. This is by far the most radical Democrat presidential ticket — representing well its extremist party — to ever seek the White House. For example, here are more pressing matters a smart, diligent, responsible moderator would have inquired about at the debate:

  • Harris cosponsored, and Biden has promised to sign into law, the misnamed “Equality Act,” which would compel schools to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports. This is unsurprising, as the Left has been all in on the so-called “transgender” agenda, calling it bigotry to deny men access to women’s bathrooms. Why, Harris even sent a message to Sexual Devolution activists in the debate, using the phrase “every gender” in a response. (How many are there? Answer: two sexes.) This agenda’s radical demands are extremely unpopular with Americans. Yet Harris wasn’t asked about it — thanks to Susan Page.
  • Last April, Harris threatened to bypass Congress and infringe on gun rights via executive action. She said last September that she supported a “mandatory buyback” (read: confiscation) of certain semi-automatic rifles. Again, where was the debate question about these unpopular proposals?
  • Neither Biden nor Harris has ever condemned terroristic Black Lives Matter or Antifa. In fact, the domain Antifa.com still redirects to the Biden/Harris campaign page (as of this writing). Doesn’t this warrant a question, Susan Page?

Additionally, Harris “thinks Catholics are not fit to serve on the Supreme Court, has tried to criminalize climate-change denial and the manufacture of guns…and, as California’s attorney general, wielded power like a callous autocrat,” asserts the New York Post. https://089b9e0768577d16a39ea00da9741841.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

Of course, asking about such things would make the Democrats look bad — but only because that badness is a reality. There also is no corresponding radicalism on the other side; Trump’s and Pence’s policies very much align with the people’s will, and more closely with Truth, while Biden’s and Harris’s policies are generally antithetical to both.

It would be nice if the American people could learn this, which brings me to maddening Republican stupidity: Why does the GOP continually agree to have leftist debate moderators? In the least, there should be two moderators, one Republican and one Democrat, with each choosing 50 percent of the questions.

As for Page, people can argue about the degree to which her bias is conscious (she is, after all, operating above her pay grade, lacking the necessary self-knowledge and wisdom to do her job). Regardless, the result is the same: Biden and Harris are allowed to retain their masks and hide their true faces from Americans.

Speaking of which brings to mind Duke’s First Rule of Politics:

Under representative government, people do not get what they want. They get what they vote for.

And Susan Page and most mainstream media, being on the Democrats’ page, make this a sure thing.

President Trump Full Interview With Maria Bartiromo…

Earlier this morning our president called-in to Fox Business for an extensive interview with Maria Bartiromo.  President Trump covered a multitude of topics from the ongoing election, to the debate changes, to the efforts to get the intelligence community to declassify documents related to his three-years of targeting by deep state officials.

Here We Go – Tripwire Crossed: DC Debate Commission Announces “Virtual Debates” Without Consulting Campaigns…


Posted on The Conservative Tree House on October 8, 2020 by sundance

In March 2020, even before the DNC nominee was selected, CTH noted one of the important objectives for the use of the COVID-19 fear would be to protect their candidate through the use of the “virtual debate” format.

After the DNC club installed Joe Biden as the avatar for the Obama/Clyburn/Perez objective, again IN JUNE, we shared the presidential debate format would require deployment of “virtual debates”.

Quite simply, a cognitively impaired candidate cannot be relied upon to deliver a debate performance, so everything must be controlled.  {Go Deep}  Including mail-in voting.

The fact the presidential debate commission would not first approach the Trump or Biden campaign, prior to their announcement of “virtual debates”, is evidence of the commission corrupt intent:

(New York Times) […] The debate commission, which did not respond to repeated requests for comment, did not consult with the Biden and Trump campaigns before announcing the virtual format early on Thursday. The decision came after members of the commission’s production team objected to the safety risks of staging another in-person event at an indoor venue, according to a person familiar with its deliberations.

The contretemps on Thursday may pose the most significant test to the debate commission’s legitimacy since the group, a nonpartisan body, was founded in 1987. (more)

NBC Caught Again Manipulating Joe Biden Town Hall With Planted Audience and Advance Script…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 7, 2020 by sundance

The Washington Free Beacon has done a great job exposing the intentional and manipulative intents of NBC and Lester Holt during a recent town-hall event with presidential candidate Joe Biden.  At this point American media have become Pravda in their efforts to manipulate the outcome of the 2020 election. Video Recap

.Essentially what NBC did was present a pre-vetted pro-Biden audience to masquerade as independent or ‘swing voters’, and then roll-out a highly coordinated TV event as if it was occurring without a script.  The problem for NBC is their brazen hubris, because the people they used in the audience as voters previously appeared on sister network MSNBC.

Mexican President Notes Central American Caravan Timed to Interfere With U.S. Election…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on October 2, 2020 by sundance

There are trillions at stake…

As a consequence there are a myriad of ideological efforts underway, simultaneously with increased intensity, intended to influence the 2020 election.  Pelosi/Soros Inc. working earnestly on mail in ballots. Big Tech continues efforts to disconnect the voices of their political opposition.  Big Media continues efforts to frame anti-Trump narratives to assist their political allies.  The big Wall St. multinationals, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are pouring money into efforts to block the re-election of President Trump.

Foreign money is pouring in from China and overseas interests who are negatively impacted by the America First national economic agenda. Regional politicians and their various special-interest groups are being funded to keep fueling antagonisms; and Hollywood influencers are ‘all-in‘ once again to assist the effort.

We can all see it; this time they are not trying to hide… Eyes wide open.  Cue the coordination with the open-border immigration lobby:

GUATEMALA CITY/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s president on Friday said he suspected political interference behind a new migrant caravan in Central America, promising to keep his country out of the U.S. presidential race as the group splintered and some began turning back.

More than 2,000 migrants, many wearing face masks against the coronavirus, barged past Guatemalan troops at the Honduras-Guatemala border on Thursday. Some said they were seeking to escape poverty aggravated by the pandemic.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who has taken steps to curb illegal immigration so as to avoid entanglements with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump, suggested that the caravan’s departure from Honduras had been timed to provoke.

“It is very weird, very strange,” Lopez Obrador told a news conference. “It’s a matter that I believe is linked to the U.S. election.”

He said he did not have definitive evidence to support that claim, but his words turned up pressure on the migrants. (read more)

Michigan Supreme Court Rules Comrade Governor Gretchen Whitmer Exceeded Her Powers in COVID Compliance Lockdown…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 2, 2020 by sundance

The supreme court in Michigan has ruled that Governor Gretchen Whitmer exceeded her constitutional authority under state law in the arbitrary enforcement of her unilateral decrees to mitigate the COVID-19 virus. [pdf here] As the court wrote in the opinion rebuking the governor:

“The people of this state have been denied a voice and a seat at the table in decisions that have impacted every facet of their lives and their futures over the past eight months. They deserve to have their representatives bring their voice and their concerns into this decision-making process.”

At the heart of the governor’s legal argument was a 1945 law allowing the governor to declare a state of disaster or emergency if she finds one to exist and it remains in place for 28 days, unless the Legislature extends it. The legislature did not extend the declaration, yet the governor continued to restrict the citizens without any representative voice.

MICHIGAN – […] In the 4-3 ruling, the court determined the governor did not have the authority under state law to issue any additional emergency declarations pertaining to the pandemic after April 30. That was the last date when the legislature allowed the governor to declare an emergency.

“The governor’s declaration of a state of emergency or state of disaster may only endure for 28 days absent legislative approval of an extension. So, if the Legislature does nothing, as it did here, the governor is obligated to terminate the state of emergency or state of disaster after 28 days,” said the majority opinion, written by Judge Stephen Markman.

[…] “Put simply, and our criticism is not of the Governor in this regard but of the statute in dispute — almost certainly, no individual in the history of this state has ever been vested with as much concentrated and standardless power to regulate the lives of our people, free of the inconvenience of having to act in accord with other accountable branches of government and free of any need to subject her decisions to the ordinary interplay of our system of separated powers and checks and balances, with even the ending date of this exercise of power reposing exclusively in her own judgment and discretion,” the majority wrote.

“It is in no way to diminish the present pandemic for this Court to assert, as we now do, that with respect to the most fundamental propositions of our system of constitutional governance, with respect to the public institutions that have most sustained our freedoms over the past 183 years, there must now be some rudimentary return to normalcy.”  (more)

UPDATE: Proved to a Certainty – Is Bubba Wallace “Rope Noose” a Hoax or Misunderstanding? All Talladega Garage Doors Have Nooses – NASCAR Video Evidence…


This has the potential to be very embarrassing for NASCAR.

Very Important Update at Bottom:  Absolute Proof.

When NASCAR rolled in to Alabama and the Talledega motor speedway, the story of a “rope noose” in the garage of Bubba Wallace grabbed media attention.   However, a NASCAR video of the exact garage doors at the Talledega motor speedway shows all of the garages have ropes and nooses on them.

The images above are from a 2017 NASCAR “GarageCam” walk through during the  NASCAR Camping World Truck Series garage at Talladega Superspeedway.  The rope with a “noose” on the end is a simple method to pull down the garage door to close it.  The noose provides a place to put your hand/wrist when closing the door.

Hat Tip Tazio Nuvolari who shares: “My guess on the “noose” incident in Talledega, watch this video, look close at the Talladega garage doors. Each one has a rope hanging down with a loop on the end to pull down the doors. One probably broke and someone just tossed it aside, then the crew member found it and thought it was something it wasn’t, now NASCAR is trying to figure out how to explain their stupidity.”

The ropes and “nooses” are clearly visible [particularly at 03:20] as the cameraman goes from garage bay to garage bay.  There are several rope nooses visible and a few of them are severely worn from use.  Check it out:

.

Is this just a simple misunderstanding amid a climate where NASCAR is sensitive to the current racial narrative sweeping the nation?

Did the Bubba Wallace team accidentally make a major headline grabbing story out of a simple mistaken perspective?  Or was the mistaken impression purposefully misunderstood by either the team or the organization to gain attention?   You decide.

According to the media:

ALABAMA – […] The discovery of the noose Sunday afternoon in Wallace’s garage stall comes as the United States, and NASCAR in particular, more squarely address America’s systemic racism in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd.

Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR’s top circuit, has been an outspoken advocate of the Black Lives Matter movement and the corresponding protests against racism and police brutality. He wore an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt before one event, repainted his car with the “Black Lives Matter” phrase and pushed NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag.

NASCAR said it is investigating the noose, and federal investigators said they will review the incident as well.

“We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act,” NASCAR’s statement read. “We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.”

The racing organization said there is no place for racism in NASCAR and that the incident “only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all.”

In addition, the US Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Alabama, FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division are reviewing the incident, US Attorney Jay E. Town said in statement.

“Regardless of whether federal charges can be brought, this type of action has no place in our society,” Town said.

A source with Richard Petty Motorsports told CNN that Wallace never saw the noose.  A member of his team discovered it and immediately brought it to NASCAR’s attention, the source said.

Wallace tweeted Sunday that the “despicable act” left him “incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism.”

“This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in,” Wallace said.  (read more)

The odds that almost every garage door in the Talladega motor speedway has these garage door pull-downs that look like nooses, and this was not exactly what the “member of the team discovered”, is very small.  These are the exact garages that housed Bubba Wallace’s car.

These pull-downs are almost certainly what Wallace’s team reported to the NASCAR officials that started this international headline story.  [A Shorter Video to SEE]

MAJOR UPDATE:  We were finally able to locate a picture of Bubba Watson’s garage door.  The picture below was taken Monday, June 22, 2020 while FBI investigators were reviewing the incident.  The source of the picture is HERE: Racing News.

REPORT THIS AD

TALLADEGA, ALABAMA – The #43 Victory Junction Chevrolet, driven by Bubba Wallace (not pictured), waits in the garage area prior to the NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on June 22, 2020 in Talladega, Alabama. (Getty Images)

Now here’s the same picture with some important notations.  Look at the manual garage door pull-down rope on bay #4.  Notice how short it is compared to the adjacent bay #5.

(Click Image to Enlarge)

We have a video from November 2019 at Talladega speedway showing the garage door pull-down for bay #4.   Many of the garage bay doors have those “noose” looking pull-downs to make it easier to use your hand.  Clearest visibility of Bay #4 at 00:53

REPORT THIS AD

.

You can clearly see in the video that Garage Bay door #4 had a hand loop tied into it.

That hand-loop, which could be claimed as a noose if that’s what you are predisposed to be looking for, was there in November of 2019 when the video was taken.  That hand loop, possibly misconstrued as a “noose” has been cut-off in the picture taken yesterday.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison: (click image to enlarge)

REPORT THIS AD

It wasn’t a noose, it was a hand loop to help make closing the garage door easier; and it wasn’t put there for Bubba Wallace, because it was there in November 2019.

Additionally, in November of 2019 no-one would know what garage bay would be assigned to Bubba Wallace in June of 2020.  It’s absolutely ridiculous to see this as targeted hate.

That’s it.

100% proof positive evidence of the situation.

Now, the questions remain:

(1) Was this incident purposefully misconstrued as a “hanging noose” to drum up racial controversy by Bubba Wallace’s NASCAR team?

(2) And was that intentional mistake made exponentially worse, purposefully, by NASCAR going public and orchestrating a ridiculous PR campaign around it?

(3) Were all those involved pulling off a demonstrable hoax in an effort to politicize and capitalize on a controversy?  With full forethought and selfish intent?

(4) Or was this some big, stupid, oversensitive misunderstanding?

You decide.

It will be interesting to see how NASCAR responds; but the clarity of the situation is beyond debate.  This “noose in a NASCAR garage” story was false.  This was not targeted racial hate toward Bubba Wallace; and it wasn’t even a noose in a NASCAR garage.
