Los Angeles Bans Halloween, Trick Or Treating Outlawed

Los Angeles has banned trick-or-treating for all children, and health officials told parents they can’t go “trunk-or-treating,” either.

“Door-to-door trick-or-treating is not allowed because it can be very difficult to maintain proper social distancing on porches and at front doors especially in neighborhoods that are popular with trick or treaters,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in its recently released guidelines. “‘Trunk-or-treating’ events where children go from car to car instead of door to door to receive treats are also not allowed.”

“Gatherings or Parties with non-household members are not permitted even if they are conducted outdoors,” the guidelines said. “Carnivals, festivals, live entertainment, and haunted house attractions are not allowed.”

The guidelines do not say what the penalty will be for those who violate the guidelines.

Here’s what’s allowed:

Online parties/contests (e.g. costume or pumpkin carving)

Car parades that comply with public health guidance for vehicle based parades including:

a. Drive by events or contests where individuals dress up or decorate their vehicles and drive by

“judges” that are appropriately physically distanced.

b. Drive through events where individuals remain in their vehichles and drive through an area

with Halloween displays.

c. Drive in events where individuals can receive a treat bag (limited to commercially packaged

non-perishable treats) or take away item from an organizer while the participants remain in

their vehicle.

Halloween movie nights at drive in theaters (must comply with the public health drive in movie

theater guidance).

Halloween themed meals at outdoor restaurants (must comply with the restaurant protocol).

Halloween themed art installations at an outdoor museum (must comply with the public health

museum guidance.)

Dressing up homes and yards with Halloween themed decorations.

Trump Nevada Rallies Cancelled Due to Democrat Governor’s Coronavirus Restrictions

President Trump’s two weekend campaign rallies in Nevada have been cancelled due to coronavirus rules imposed by Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak banning large crowds. The outdoor rallies were set to be held at Reno-Tahoe International Airport on Saturday and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Trump held a massive outdoor airport rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina Tuesday night that was preceded last week by a well attended airport rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

Adam Paul Laxalt, co-chair of the Nevada Trump campaign posted about the cancellations, “Outrageous! @realDonaldTrump rally venues in NV canceled. Welcome to Sisolak’s Nevada – home of partisan political retribution. This is unprecedented – to cancel an incumbent President’s campaign stop inside 60 days of a major contested election in a swing state. This isn’t over!”

The Trump campaign has characterized their rallies as a’peaceful protest, handing out signs at rallies bearing that message.

Prof: "Nothing Wrong With" Murder Of Right-Wing "Fascist… From A Moral Perspective"

University of Rhode Island Professor Erik Loomis appeared to defend the murder of Aaron "Jay" Danielson, the member of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, during recent social unrest in Portland, Oregon.

In 2012, Loomis came under scrutiny after he called for NRA executive Wayne LaPierre's "head on a stick" following the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

Just weeks later, in January 2013, Loomis said, “I know the central mission of the Republican Party is to have a membership made up entirely of old rural white people."

Now, Loomis is once again under fire after publishing a blog post titled "Why was Michael Reinoehl killed?" Reinoehl is the man suspected of fatally shooting Danielson. Reinoehl was killed as federal authorities tried to arrest him.

“Michael Reinoehl is the guy who killed the fascist in Portland last week. He admitted it and said he was scared the cops would kill him. Well, now the cops have killed him," Loomis wrote in the September 4 blog post.

“I am extremely anti-conspiracy theory. But it’s not a conspiracy theory at this point in time to wonder if the cops simply murdered him. The police is [sic] shot through with fascists from stem to stern. They were openly working with the fascists in Portland, as they were in Kenosha which led to dead protestors," Loomis continued.

In the comment section of the blog post, one reader challenged Loomis by writing, "Erik, he shot and killed a guy," referring to Reinoehl.

Loomis responded by saying, “He killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective.” He further added that “tactically, that’s a different story. But you could say the same thing about John Brown.”

Loomis furthered compared Reinoehl to Brown who in the 1800s used violence as a means of fighting slavery.

One reader then asked, “What’s so great about assassinating a rando fascist? And in the absence of a sound affirmative justification, it should be easy to envision the drawbacks.”

Loomis was quick to reply with, “What’s so great about assassinating random slaveholders, said liberals to John Brown.”

Here’s Proof That Facebook Worked with Soros-Funded Media Matters to Eliminate Pro-Trump Conservative Content on the Platform

Back in May 2017 The Gateway Pundit first reported on the 2017 David Brock Media Matters Playbook that was accidentally discovered and leaked online.

The Soros-funded Media Matters revealed in this playbook that they have access to the raw data of numerous social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Google, plus the connections and power to influence their understanding on what is and isn’t “fake news.”

Inside the 2017 playbook Media Matters admits they have already secured access to raw data from the tech giants.

“Media Matters has already secured access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. We have also put in place the technology necessary to automatically mine white nationalist message boards and alt-right communities for our archive.

We will now develop technologies and processes to systematically monitor and analyze this unfiltered data.”

Media Matters goes on to describe how they found a way to manipulate these social media platforms into thinking that they need their help. In fact, the following excerpt from the #BrockGate document speaks to this concern with precision:

“Out lets that push fake news are completely dependent on Facebook to spread their lies, and ad networks like Google to fund them.

Media Matters has unique insight to help fix the problems in this part of the media landscape.

After Facebook responded to our campaign by acknowledging the problem of fake news and agreeing to do something about it, we began a dialogue. It became clear form these conversations that Facebook needed our help in fully understanding the problem and identifying concrete solutions. Further, it also became clear that we had information and insight that they didn’t have that was helpful in educating them on the full scope of the problem. For example, Media Matters had a detailed map of the constellation of right-wing Facebook pages that had been the biggest purveyors of fake news – as well as insight into the food chain of fake news and how it was moving through the Facebook ecosystem.

Similarly, after Google revised their terms of service in order to prohibit so-called fake news sites from using their advertising network, it was Media Matters that had the information necessary to identify 40 of the worst fake news sites to which this policy applied.”

‘Instead of ending Covid-19, he ended the jobs’: Indian opposition figure Rahul Gandhi slams PM Modi for epidemic response

Prominent opposition MP Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of failing to either tackle the Covid-19 epidemic or safeguard the national economy with his policies.

The Modi government has “destroyed” India’s informal economy sector with its “sudden” national lockdown in March, Gandhi, an MP who used to head the Indian National Congress (INC) party, said on Wednesday. The measure meant to curb the spread of Covid-19 hit the least protected Indians worst, he said.

“The poor, those in small and medium businesses, are daily wage earners. They eat with what they earn each day. When you [PM Modi] announced a lockdown without a notice, you attacked them,” he said in his latest video attack on the policies of the ruling BJP party.

The prime minister said the fight will be for 21 days, the backbone of the unorganised sector broke in 21 days.

Earlier, Gandhi tweeted a list of “Modi-made disasters” and mounted other criticisms of the prime minister.

Due to Modi Govt’s gross mismanagement of Covid:1. India’s total cases world’s 2nd highest. 2. India’s weekend tally higher than US & Brazil put together.3. On Sunday, India's share was 40% of total cases worldwide.4. No flattening of curve.Stay safe everyone.

— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 8, 2020

India this month has surpassed Brazil as the nation with the second largest number of Covid-19 infections. The national lockdown was lifted in June, with the government saying it was too painful for the economy. Between April and June, it shrank by almost a quarter compared to Q2 of 2019, sending India into its worst recession in decades.

The impact on the informal sector, which offers less accurate reporting than better-controlled large Indian businesses, is somewhat difficult to estimate. But with around 90 percent of the national workforce employed there, its importance is hard to overestimate. Critics say the lockdown rendered many of those people jobless and sent them fleeing from big cities, facilitating the spread of the coronavirus.

‘Blatant irrational behavior’: Beijing accuses Australia of ‘harassing’ Chinese journalists

In the latest verbal spat between Beijing and Canberra, China has accused Australia of oppressing its reporters as well as slamming its “blatant irrational behavior.”

A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, alleged that four Chinese journalists had been harassed in June this year, noting that the Australian authorities had searched their homes and seized items including laptops, cellphones and even a child’s toy tablet.

Zhao, in a daily briefing, requested that Australia “immediately stop such blatant irrational behaviors, stop harassing and oppressing Chinese personnel in Australia under whatever pretext.” Beijing also claimed that, according to the Australian side, the journalists were targeted over security issues.

Michael Savage on 2020, ‘Covidism,’ and America’s Communist Revolution

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, conservative radio legend Michael Savage offered his insights on President Donald Trump’s standing in the 2020 presidential election, the ongoing Chinese coronavirus pandemic, and what he described as the Black Lives Matter movement’s goal of ushering in a “communist revolution” in the United States. Savage also dove deep into the genesis of his forthcoming book — Our Fight for America: The War Continues — and revealed what he believes is the most pressing issue which President Trump should address if he wins re-election in November.

JOSH CAPLAN: We’re less than 60 days away from the election. Both Biden and Trump completed their conventions. It remains unclear where we are with regards to polling. Some show Biden is leading nationwide, others show Trump is gaining ground on him. How do you feel about the president’s changes of winning re-election?

MICHAEL SAVAGE: Conservatives don’t answer polls. We have no idea where they really stand. In terms of Trump moving up, I think the out of control violence in America, which is clearly a communist revolution, Trump is running as a law & order candidate. I’ve been complaining on my show that if you want to do something about it, stop telling us you’re going to do it and just do it now. These communist revolutionaries are not idiots, they are well funded. But he did, he deputized the Oregon State Police and they shot one of the murderers, which was a step towards controlling them. I think the non-stop riots and mayhem from the fraudulent group, Black Lives Matter, a Marxist, antisemitic organization, anti-capitalist, these riots are working in Trump’s favor. Biden, the hologram in the basement, so far has said nothing, except as a Johnny-come-lately that it will be quieter if he becomes president. How? They’re suddenly going to go home, get a haircut, and get a job at Starbucks after they burn the store to the ground? I think the race is moving toward Trump and I do think that he’s under-polled.

JOSH CAPLAN: I want to follow up with you on the idea the riots can only help Trump. Although that appears to be the consensus in political circles and parts of everyday America, can too much rioting end up hurting the president? Is there a suprise X factor regarding the violence you would warn about? Could this actually backfire?

MICHAEL SAVAGE: It’s a tricky situation. I think the Republicans have made a calculation to keep the riots going because they know it’s working in their favor. I know how cynical that sounds, but we know what politicians are. In some ways, there are no white hats. Could it backfire? At some point, it must stop and if Trump cracks down too hard, he’ll fall right into the sandtrap that they’ve laid for him, and call him a facist and say, “See, we told you he’s a Nazi.” He can’t go full military, even though it’s been done since Eisenhower’s time. This is not just one night. It’s been 100 days of riots in Portland. They chased the mayor out of his condo. He thought he could keep feeding the beast and that the beast would say “thank you.” I don’t believe in sacred cows, whether they are animals or human.

JOSH CAPLAN: I want to shift gears to the coronavirus pandemic. Once again, you found yourself in a Paul Revere situation, where you were sounding the alarm about something that others were not, even telling the president things that were quite different from what your viewpoint was. Why do you think you understood the threat the coronavirus posed and was there an exact moment where you recall you began to take things very seriously?

Devin Nunes Warns Americans to Wake Up in ‘Countdown to Socialism’ Book

Rep. Devin Nunes, a Republican congressman from California who found himself at the center of partisan attacks over the last four years for exposing Democrat corruption, is warning the American people before the election in a new book.

Titled Countdown to Socialism, Nunes warns Americans that if Trump is not reelected, America will go down a dark path of socialism, led by social media companies and the Democrat-aligned mainstream media establishment.

Nunes said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Tuesday, “Either we’re going to get this figured out, people are going to wake up before this election, or Republicans are going to get railroaded out of the town. That’s why it’s called Countdown to Socialism.”

He added, “It’s not a pessimistic argument. … It’s truly a countdown. … There’s a limited amount of time for people to learn the truth.”

Nunes wrote in chapter one:

[I]n recent years, the Left has wholly rejected the fundamental principles that bound Americans together and allowed us to work out our differences democratically and peacefully. They now reject free speech, a fair voting system, private property, and the rule of law. They don’t dare yet admit it publicly, but as you’ll see in this book, their policies and rhetoric are incompatible with any of these principles as we understand them today.

With their Green New Deal and Medicare for All proposals, the Democrats are vowing to engineer a massive, fundamental expansion of the government’s role in the economy. These two programs alone, if implemented, would be giant steps toward socializing the economy, constricting the private sector and the free exchange of goods and services, and placing vast new powers in the hands of central government bosses and the permanent bureaucracy.

Simultaneously, the Left is working hard to skew the playing field so that once they gain untrammeled power – which they hope to do through the 2020 elections – it will be permanent. At both the state and national levels, they are working hard to fundamentally change the voting system by abolishing the Electoral College, greatly expanding mail-in voting, enfranchising felons, legalizing vote harvesting, lowering the voting age, and allowing current non-citizens to vote through mass amnesties and other means. All these proposals have one thing in common: they will increase the Democrats’ vote count.

The book is short — less than 90 pages of text, but Nunes said its brevity is on purpose. The book, published by Encounter Books, is a “broadside” — an old format from the early days of publishing that was used to distribute information quickly to the public.

“I wanted something I could put together quickly and get out to the masses. And stay the hell off the Internet, because I don’t want any of these tech oligarchs getting in the way,” he said. “You can pick this book up, and read it, read it quickly, and pass it on to your neighbor.”

UK publishes controversial bill it says breaks Brexit treaty

The British government has published the controversial new UK Internal Market Bill which it’s been argued necessitates the rewriting of parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

The new legislation published Wednesday, is seen as a move to override key parts of the current Brexit deal and once again raises the possibility of a hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic has called for an “extraordinary Joint Committee” meeting so that Britain's Michael Gove can respond to “strong concerns on the bill.”

“We're not moving the goalposts,” Environment Secretary George Eustice said in defense of the move.

However, the British government admitted that the proposals would break international law, but “in a very specific and limited way,” and adds to growing concerns that Britain could crash out of the European single market with no agreement on trade when the status quo agreement expires in December.

Prime Minister Johnson argued in parliament that the bill was a “legal safety net” to prevent abuse of the Northern Ireland part of the current EU Withdrawal Agreement.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to downplay the potential risks of taking unilateral action which contravenes the terms of the original agreement, much to the chagrin of his counterparts in Brussels and Dublin.

“Unilateral actions which seek to change the operation of measures already agreed including in an international treaty and incorporated into domestic law do not build trust,” Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin said, adding that he is “extremely concerned” at the British government's intention to “break international law.”

The bill has yet to be debated and approved in both chambers of parliament before being written into law, but would afford UK ministers the ability to ignore certain clauses in the Brexit deal struck with the EU in relation to export declarations and other procedures.

Recordings Capture Trump Admitting He Knowingly Downplayed Coronavirus From January To March

President Donald Trump told famed journalist Bob Woodward that he knowingly downplayed the threat coronavirus posed to U.S. national security for months before issuing the federal government’s initial social distancing guidelines in mid-March.

Trump made the comments during interviews for Woodward’s forthcoming book on Trump’s presidency, “Rage,” and POTUS consented to the conversations being recorded. CNN obtained an advance copy of “Rage” and portions of Woodward’s recordings and published excerpts Wednesday.

During one of the interviews on March 19, Woodward posed to Trump that “it’s clear, just from what’s on the public record that you went through a pivot on this to, ‘oh my god, the gravity is almost inexplicable and unexplainable,'” and asked him what caused the change in rhetoric.

“To be honest with you,” Trump responded, “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany pushed back against CNN’s frame during Wednesday’s press briefing.

“The president has never lied to the American public on COVID,” she stated. “He was expressing calm and his actions reflect. This January 6 the CDC issued a Wuhan travel notice. I refer you to Dr. Fauci who said this president had an impressive response. I can’t imagine that anyone could do more. That’s the record of this president.”

Nationwide Ammo Shortage as Americans Stock up amid Civil Unrest

An ammo shortage is being witnessed nationwide as Americans react to civil unrest by buying up firearms and the ammunition needed to use them for self-defense.

Gun store shelves in Arizona, long covered with box upon box of ammunition for sale, now host but a smattering of ammunition, and at a much higher price because of the product’s scarcity.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports the same shortage is evident throughout Minnesota.

Oakdale gun store owner David Bean said, “Manufacturers can’t keep up with the demand anymore. The industry’s never been hit this hard before.”

And Stock & Barrel Gun Club executive vice president Kevin Vick observed, “[People] have seen firsthand that law enforcement is not always going to be there to protect them.”

West Texans are witnessing the same run on ammunition. Davo Rittenberry, owner of Amarillo’s Riverfields gun store, talked to Breitbart News about the way ammunition comes in and is gone almost immediately. Customers are waiting on it to hit the shelves.

Remember, the shortage in ammunition comes as background checks for gun sales were at record-setting levels for eight straight months. In other words, a record for monthly background checks was set every month January 2020 through August 2020.

Guns need ammunition, thus the surge in sales nationwide has led to a run on ammunition that goes beyond Arizona and Minnesota; a run that has left depleted ammunition supplies nationwide.

National Shooting Sports Foundation’s (NSSF) public affairs director Mark Olivia told Breitbart News:

The surge in gun sales is having a corresponding effect on ammunition. NSSF estimates there are nearly 5 million first-time gun buyers in 2020. That also means there are 5 million new ammunition buyers who are learning to use their firearms. There are 5 million new people looking for ranges for safe, recreational shooting. There are 5 million new gun owners filling up classes at their local ranges for instruction.

Manufacturers are working to meet this demand, but it is undeniable that concern for personal safety is having an effect on the availability of ammunition at local retailers. Distributors are doing “boomerang” shipments, where products are in the receiving door and out the shipping door the same say, never hitting the stock shelves.

Former Volkswagen boss to face trial over ‘Dieselgate’ scandal

The former CEO of Volkswagen (VW), Martin Winterkorn, has been ordered to appear in court to answer criminal charges, including fraud, together with several other VW employees over their role in the long-running emissions scandal.

The German court in charge of the case announced on Wednesday it had determined “that there is sufficient suspicion, that is, an overwhelming possibility of conviction, of the accused Professor Doctor Winterkorn for commercial and organized fraud.”

The date of the public trial has not been set so far. Another four defendants were also accused of fraud, as well as serious tax evasion and fraudulent advertising, the court in Braunschweig said.

Winterkorn resigned soon after one of the largest scandals in the auto industry, dubbed ‘Dieselgate’. In 2015, Volkswagen was accused of selling cars in the US that had emissions cheating software. Back then the CEO denied that he was aware of the practice that affected around 11 million vehicles worldwide.

After the car giant pleaded guilty in the US and had to pay billions in penalties and compensation to car owners, Winterkorn was accused by US prosecutors of conspiring to mislead regulators over emissions. In addition to the upcoming fraud trial, the former chief executive still faces charges over market manipulation.

The scandal has already cost the German automaker more than €30 billion (US$35 billion) in penalties, legal costs and compensation payments to customers. Earlier this year, VW reached a settlement with the German consumer federation VZBV over the scandal. The company is set to pay a total of €830 million in compensation to over 230,000 German car owners or between €1,350 and €6,257 per car.

Top 6 US tech titans lose over $1 trillion in Wall Street sell-off

The recent stock rout has wiped out over $1 trillion from the value of America’s biggest tech corporations, including the world’s most valuable company Apple and online giant Amazon – but it failed to erase all their 2020 gains.

US benchmark indices finished lower for the third session in a row on Tuesday amid a massive sell-off in high-flying technology stocks, which were the main drivers of the market rally amid coronavirus uncertainty. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 600 points, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed over 400 points – more than four percent – to close in correction territory.

Several disappointing trading sessions cost Apple, which became the first US company to reach a $2 trillion market capitalization last month, around $325 billion. Shares of the iPhone maker were down nearly seven percent on Tuesday, while Goldman Sachs warned its clients that the company may lose a third of its market cap over the next 12 months, according to CNBC.
