Let's think of some headlines like the big boy reporters do:
Adam Schiff snubbed by fellow Dems after failed impeachment; no one taking his meetings or returning his calls.
Dianne Feinstein hasn't been in her office since January; close associates report she spends most days entirely in bed.
Director asked Jim Comey not to show up on set during filming of his book turned miniseries; complaints he continually criticizes every scene.

Schiff: Barr “Flat Out Lying to American People” About China Election Threat
Rep. Adam Schiff is accusing Attorney General William Barr of lying with his claim that China poses a bigger threat to the U.S. elections this year than Russia. “That’s just a plain, false statement by the Attorney General. A flat-out false statement,” Schiff told CNN. “What Bill Barr just did in that statement was just flat out mislead the American people with a blatantly false statement.”
The chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee was responding to a clip of Barr referring to U.S. intelligence finding that Russia, China, and Iran are seeking to interfere in the 2020 elections. Barr was asked which country was pursuing the efforts most aggressively and Barr said China, citing intelligence that he said he could not reveal. “I’ve seen the intelligence,” Barr said. “That’s what I’ve concluded.”

‘Green’ billionaires behind professional activist network that led suppression of ‘Planet of the Humans’ documentary
MAX BLUMENTHAL SEPTEMBER 7, 2020
The Michael Moore-produced ‘Planet of the Humans’ faced a coordinated suppression campaign led by professional climate activists backed by the same ‘green’ billionaires, Wall Street investors, industry insiders and family foundations skewered in the film.
Perhaps the most provocative critique contained in “Planet of the Humans” was the portrayal of full-time climate warriors like McKibben as de facto lobbyists for green tech billionaires and Wall Street investors determined to get their hands on the whopping $50 trillion profit opportunity that a full transition to renewable technology represents. Why have figures like Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Michael Bloomberg, Virgin’s Richard Branson, and Tesla founder Elon Musk been plowing their fortunes into climate advocacy? The documentary taunted those who accepted these oligarchs’ gestures of environmental concern at face value.
While it is true that mono-crystalline solar panels boast a higher efficiency rate (between 15% and 18% in commercially available form), they were also on the market back in 2008. These panels are significantly more expensive than the flexible, less efficient panels, however. And their efficiency levels do not account for the intermittency inherent to solar energy, which does not work well in cloudy or dark conditions.
When wind turbines reach the end of their life cycle, their fiberglass blades, which can be as long as a football field, are impossible to recycle. As a result, they are piling up in rural dumping sites across the US. Meanwhile, the environmentalist magazine Grist warned this August of a “solar e-waste glut” that will produce “megatons of toxic trash” when solar panels begin to lose efficiency and die.
Now, with the Biden campaign promising a new flood of renewable subsidies and tax breaks under the auspices of a “clean” energy plan, the public remains in the dark about what it is signing up for. Even if the ambitious agenda fails to deliver any substantial environmental good, it promises a growing class of green investors another opportunity to do well.

Horrible. I have found some wonderful words on the prayer wall but haven't posted/been there in a long time. Good to see a plan is underway to twart the attacks. These shills are everywhere and getting desperate! They can't even leave a prayer wall alone. SMH.

19-year-old arrested in Newberry drive-by shooting was out on bond, deputies say
The shooting happened Sept. 4 on Upper Lane in the Helena area outside Newberry.
Deputies say a man in a car drove past a home and fired several shots into the house using an “assault type rifle.”
Thankfully, no one was hit, although two people were inside the home at the time.
As the shooter tried to drive away, he crashed the car and ran away on foot, deputies said.
Hours later, deputies arrested Ayone Ruff, 19, of Newberry. Police tracked him down to a residential area near Broad River Road and Interstate 20.
Ruff faces charges of two counts of attempted murder, DUI and weapons charges. He remains in the Newberry County Detention Center as of Monday, Sept. 7.
Deputies say Ruff was out on bond at the time of the shooting in two different criminal cases. Charges in those cases include armed robbery, assault and assault using explosives.
“We just have to find a way to keep dangerous and violent offenders in jail to protect our neighborhoods,” Sheriff Lee Foster said.
The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office, Newberry City Police and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division joined efforts to investigate the crime.
The Richland County Sheriff’s Department helped arrest Ruff.

Julian Assange: WikiLeaks founder arrested over 18 new allegations as he appears in court to fight US extradition
The new US indictment, filed in June, contains 18 charges and was handed to Assange moments before he appeared at the Old Bailey.
Monday 7 September 2020 16:51, UK
Julian Assange has failed to get new allegations against him thrown out as he battles extradition to the US.
The WikiLeaks founder, 49, appeared at the Old Bailey in London after being held for months on remand at high-security Belmarsh Prison.
He was re-arrested in the court's cells on Monday over new charges contained in a US indictment.
It details a further 18 charges, lodged in June, which accuse him of plotting to hack computers and obtain and disclose national defence information.
They allege that he conspired with army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to crack a scrambled password, known as "hash", to a classified US defence department computer.
The charges also offer further details of alleged hacking plotters that Assange and his WikiLeaks colleagues are said to have recruited.
The 49-year-old spoke only to state he "does not consent to extradition" and confirm his name.
Assange, who is wanted in the US for publishing hundreds of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011, was clean-shaven with short hair and wore glasses, a dark suit, maroon tie and white shirt.
If convicted, he faces a maximum possible sentence of 175 years in jail.
His lawyer, Mark Summers QC, said the "fresh allegations at the 11th hour" were brought without warning or explanation, which meant they had no time to prepare a response.
He highlighted the difficulties Assange faced in speaking to his lawyers in the midst of ongoing restrictions.

Julian Assange re-arrested in court prior to losing extradition bid
“What is happening is abnormal, unfair and liable to create injustice if allowed to continue,” Summers told the court, complaining they were getting “limited access” to the imprisoned Assange, the outlet reported.
Summers accused US prosecutors of filing the new indictment “in desperation” because “they knew that they would lose” with their existing case.
However, Judge Vanessa Baraitser refused to exclude the new indictment — and rejected an application to adjourn until January the hearing that had already been delayed over the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, the extradition case will continue, and is due to run until early October. The judge is expected to take weeks or even months to consider her verdict, with the losing side likely to appeal.
James Lewis, a lawyer representing the US government, reaffirmed the “harm and the risk of harm” Assange’s massive document dump posed, the Times of London said.
He also dismissed Assange’s claims that his mental health issues meant he should be freed from jail rather than extradited to face trial.

he'll have to reveal…
Regardless, he won't have to reveal anything, he might volunteer it, but he can use a protected source defense, and I imagine he will. There is no benefit to him to say how he got those files so far or he would have used it already.
Saudi Arabia overturns death sentences in Jamal Khashoggi killing
A Saudi court on Monday overturned five death sentences over dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi's killing, a final ruling in the case that saw the Washington Post columnist killed and dismembered by a Saudi hit squad.
The court handed 20-year sentences to five people and three others were sentenced to between seven to 10 years, state media reported. The eight convicted were not identified.
The verdict comes after Khashoggi's sons said in May they had "pardoned" the killers, a move condemned as a "parody of justice" by a UN expert.

Yep. It was always a "last resort" thing but they know their cooked so why not throw it all out there. God, I hope the majority of American people are as smart as I think we are.
I doubt if Wallace will ask all that many tough questions to Biden. I'm trying to put together a big list of questions to circulate prior to the first debate on Sept. 29.
Chris Wallace Finally Gets to Interview Joe Biden — at the First Debate
This could spell disaster for Biden. The first debate is the most-watched, and we all know
Wallace will not hold back.
Wallace performed a tough interview with Trump in July. It was so tough that Trump asked Wallace if Biden could handle a similar interview:
The president told the Fox News host that Biden would be “crying for mommy” if forced to answer the same kinds of questions from Wallace.
“Let Biden sit through an interview like this, he’ll be on the ground crying for mommy. He’ll say ‘Mommy, mommy, please take me home,’” the president said.

Why do you think the Democrat party settled for two old white men at the end of the primaries, you and Senator Sanders? How can you possibly represent the face of the left today?
The KlaasKids Foundation, founded by Polly’s father Marc Klaas, has been around since the late 1990s. The organization has organized many searches for missing people, including efforts to track down murdered nursing student Michelle Le, 26, in 2011, and the search for 15-year-old Sierra LaMar who went missing in Morgan Hill in March 2012.
Richard Allen Davis, who kidnapped Polly when she was 12 years old, had his execution suspended by none other than Gavin Newsom.
Check this out: Okay, police make a post saying it's Dem signs being tampered with and then the reporter puts in parentheses: (with exception for 1). So there was at least 1, probably Trump, sign vandalized. There are no other details on what signs in this report. Craziness!!
Blue Grass police warn of tampering with political signs on properties
BLUE GRASS, Iowa (KWQC) - The Blue Grass Police Department is warning residents not to tamper with political signs on properties.
In a Facebook post written Monday by Chief Jahns and the Blue Grass Police Department, it said, “It has come to my attention that someone was on their own campaign trail last night. The person(s) decided to take down, steal and or vandalize political signs mainly all of which represented someone running for office from within the Democratic Party, (with exception for 1).”
Police said this falls under the crimes of trespassing, theft and criminal mischief. “Should the home owner or campaign manager want to press charges,” wrote police.
Police wrote, “If you are the one responsible reading this, please be a better representation of yourself. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is one of the many things that makes this Country a great place to live, regardless of if you agree with who is running for office or not.”
The post went on to say, “Give them the credit for being brave enough to stand up to want to make a change. Let your voice be heard in the voting booth on November 3rd and not this way. You are smarter and better than this.”

Pittsburgh police investigating after viral videos of protesters spread on social media
Pittsburgh police are investigating after videos of a Saturday protest in Downtown Pittsburgh showed protesters yelling at restaurant patrons and breaking a glass.
The videos, which have been viewed millions of times on Facebook and Twitter, show anti-racist protesters shouting profanities at diners at Sienna Mercato on Penn Avenue.
In the footage, some people who are eating outside begin to leave their tables. One protester, Nique Craft, approaches a table and drinks a diner’s beverage.
A pair of patrons look on as the beer is consumed, and Craft sets the beer back on the table.
Another protester approaches and swipes a glass off a table, causing it to shatter on the ground.
Another video shows a protester yelling through a megaphone at a man holding a bicycle. The bicyclist smacks the megaphone, and another protester hits the bicyclist in the head with a skateboard. It is not clear from the video what started the confrontation.
Craft, who identifies as nonbinary, said the videos only show one side of the story, and that there were three men from outside the protest who were screaming “Blue lives matter” at the protesters. When protesters began to confront them, one man began swinging a bike at people.
According to Craft’s account, a man began grabbing Craft’s hair and placed his hand on Craft’s chest, saying he was trying to stop Craft from engaging with another man.
When the confrontation ended, Craft said, a man in the restaurant began condemning the protesters’ actions. The woman who was with him offered Craft to come over, have a beer and talk about the situation.
“So, being a theatrical, snarky type of person that I am, I said that I don’t have time to wait for you to order another beer, I will take the one you have,” Craft said.
Craft did not recognize the man who swung the skateboard.
“Even though people [at the restaurant] saw that whole thing, they still saw me as an aggressor,” Craft said, adding that people like to look at videos and speculate on what they would have done in the situation without knowing what it was really like in the moment.
Videos of the incident were first shared on Facebook by a user named Grace Harvey, and then reposted on a Twitter page which frequently posts anti-protest content.
Ms. Harvey could not be reached for comment. On her Facebook page, she wrote, “We witnessed demonstrators bullying, harassing and physically assaulting random people simply walking past them or quietly enjoying a meal.”
She continued, “People were shaken & scared as they ran away from their tables around us.”
“Police are reviewing video and are encouraging anyone who was impacted or assaulted during Saturday's demonstrations to contact them and file a report,” police spokesperson Cara Cruz wrote in an email.
“An investigation will be conducted to identify the suspects and hold them accountable by filing appropriate criminal charges.”
Lorenzo Rulli, who can be seen in the video wearing a thin, purple garment and standing in the dining area, said the videos only show one side of the story, and the protesters were harassed by several agitators.
Neither Mr. Rulli nor Craft were organizers of the protest. In the video, Mr. Rulli is yelling obscenities at diners.
“[Expletive] 12,” he says in the video, 12 being a reference to police. “And [expletive] the white people that built the system set against mine.” He then shows someone his middle finger.
“We don’t target businesses,” Mr. Rulli told the Post-Gazette. “Our restaurant industry in the city supports us very much. We were talking to people that were talking to us. The beer that was consumed was an offer. The glass that fell was a mistake.”
He said people in the restaurant were cheering on the protesters, but the video doesn’t show that because it only shows one side.
Mr. Rulli also said police looking for incidents reports is a problem because if police had engaged the agitators who were aggressive towards protesters, there would be no need for incident reports.
“The reason I engaged the individual man and his wife is because[…] her husband called me ‘an embarrassment’ and ‘disgusting,’” Mr. Rulli said.
Republican Senator Pat Toomey responded to the videos on Twitter, writing, “Intimidating people to get your demands met isn't peaceful protesting. Damaging or destroying reeling businesses hurts workers and isn't peaceful protesting.
“These are crimes. Until elected officials support the prosecution of these criminals, they'll continue.”

Look at the lies they tell. The diners started it, right.
