President Trump on Thursday refused to disavow QAnon during an NBC News town hall, saying he knows nothing about it beyond that supporters of the theory are “strongly against pedophilia.”

Trump was asked by host Savannah Guthrie to disavow the conspiracy theory, after she described it as a theory about Democrats being a satanic pedophile ring.

“I know nothing about QAnon. I know very little,” Trump said. “You told me but what you tell me doesn’t necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that.”

"I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia, they fight it very hard. But I know nothing about it,” Trump continued.

When Guthrie noted that Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said QAnon is “nuts” and that “real leaders call conspiracy theories conspiracy theories,” Trump again said claimed to have no knowledge about the theory.

“He may be right. I just don’t know about QAnon,” Trump said.

“You do know,” Guthrie pressed.

“I don’t know,” Trump continued.

QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory whose followers believe that an underground cabal of Satanic worshipers run child sex trafficking rings and are in control of the so-called “deep state” government and that Trump is working to expose them.

The movement began on the internet but has grown substantially in recent months, garnering support even from some GOP congressional candidates. The FBI designated the collection of individuals a domestic terror threat in 2019 because it had the potential to encourage violence.

Trump has previously offered tepid support for the group, telling reporters at a news conference in August that he knew little about it but understands its supporters like him “very much” and “love America.”

Following Trump’s remarks then, Vice President Mike Pence was pressed in a news interview on QAnon and said that he dismisses it “out of hand.”

Trump also tangled with Guthrie when she asked him why he had appeared hesitant at times to denounce white supremacy, including in the first presidential debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Hannity talking about Qanon

Explosive final day begins shortly

The ex-boyfriend of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has arrived at ICAC for his third day in the witness box.

Amid fresh revelations that investigators had him under surveillance at NSW Parliament three years ago, his appearance follows the corruption watchdog inadvertently publishing a transcript of his private evidence on Thursday.

The material is now the subject of a fresh suppression order as it included evidence provided in a session the inquiry ruled was too private to be of public interest.

On Thursday, he admitted he hoped for a $1.5 million payday over the potential sale of land owned by the Waterhouse family near Badgerys Creek.

Mr Maguire has also conceded he discussed the potential land deal with Ms Berejiklian multiple times, although he didn't seem to ever discuss his potential $1.5 million success fees with her.

He did tell her the "Badgerys Creek stuff" would help him pay off his debts and quit politics amid hopes the pair could go public with their relationship which he described as “on again off again”.

Asked whether it was still ongoing he replied: “Not after this, it wouldn’t be."

He's also revealed he arranged for a "tipsy" property developer mate, Joseph Alha, to drop in on the NSW Premier unannounced in her office and that he promised to give an email from the developer to the NSW Premier, his secret girlfriend at the time.

“I’ll give it to her, all right,” Maguire says.

Joe Biden Admits He is Open to Packing the Supreme Court

Joe Biden held a town hall on ABC hosted by Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos.

George Stephanopoulos asked Joe Biden his view on packing the Supreme Court.

Joe Biden has been dodging this question for several weeks and he recently said voters “don’t deserve” to know whether he will destroy the US Constitution by altering an entire branch of government.

On Thursday night, Joe Biden admitted he’s “open” to packing the Supreme Court — a very radical idea being proposed by the Marxists who control the Democrat party.

This should be disqualifying.

Joe Biden Stumbles and Slurs After Black Voter Asks Him: “Besides ‘You Ain’t Black’ What Do you Have to Say to Young Black Voters”

Joe Biden and President Trump held dueling town halls Thursday night.

Joe Biden held a town hall on ABC hosted by Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos.

A young black voter was given an opportunity to ask Biden a question and Biden stumbled his way through his answer.

“Many people believe that the true swing demographic in this election will be black voters under the age of 30 — not because they will be voting for Trump but because they won’t vote at all,” a young black progressive Democrat questioner said to Biden.

“So my question for you then is, besides ‘you ain’t black,’ what do you have to say to young black voters who see voting for you as further participation in a system that fails to protect them?” he asked referring to Biden’s racist remarks to black radio host Charlemagne Tha God.

In May of this year, Biden told black radio host Charlemagne Tha God, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump then you ain’t Black.”

Biden slurred and stumbled through his answer and made absolutely no sense.

Joe Biden supported segregation and sponsored the 1994 crime bill that incarcerated millions of blacks.

America Is Divided Over Class Not Race In 2020

It's 'Skype-Zoom' v. 'Muscular' in today's 2020 political cage match…

We all know about the voice within the choir that stands out from the others with a distinct and superior sound. Such is the voice of Professor Victor Davis Hanson (VDH) when he decides to make himself heard among the monotone crowd of established political punditry. VDH stole the microphone this past week in an appearance with Tucker Carlson where, during a roughly six-minute interview, he made more sense of the current political landscape in America than any other “expert” in the past six months.

VDH is not a political analyst by trade. His background is that of being a classicist in philosophy, while at the same time being a leading military historian, especially with regard to WWII (his brief but thorough history course on the “Great War” is a must for those interested). What he has brought to the world of political analysis since his very recent entry are a fresh perspective and a very disciplined and rational mind. In short, he is thoughtful, not reflexive.

In his interview with Tucker, VDH explained what the real source of division in America is today. It is not, despite what Democrats and the mainstream media (MSM) try to force on you, a division that is primarily about race. It is a division about class. While the idea of class struggle is not new to political science, the current iteration of it is, and it has sprung up aggressively during the past six months. According to Hanson, it is the division between the Skype-Zoom class and the muscular class.

VDH argues that there is a class of people that have found refuge in their home offices and basements since the onset of the Chinese coronavirus. They are the traders, the telemarketers, and those who can make their living through the softer professions of the mind. The “Skype-Zoom class” also includes the ruling class: those at the highest levels of society that pull the strings, and control the means to power and production.

In author Tom Wolfe’s terms, they are the masters of the universe.

While the Skype-Zoom class sits safely in their homes and uses their MacBook to make bank, outside their walls, out in the real world of production, lives the muscular class. These are the people who are delivering the food you order from Grubhub, or the disinfectants and hand sanitizers you order from Amazon, both of which might be ordered by Skype-Zoom types in order to save them the risk of leaving their home and becoming infected with the virus. Best to leave that risk for someone else, someone in the muscular class.

The muscular class people are also the ones out there nine hours a day cooking the food Skype-Zoomers ordered and manufacturing and packing the hand sanitizers.

If this talk of “musculature” and “class” brings thoughts of Marx to mind, it should. These are very much Marxian terms. Marx talked about man’s natural inclination to work and produce, and also man’s natural tendency to try to control the work and production of other men. In his first phase of history, post-primitive, Marx pointed to the need to control musculature because physical strength was required to make almost everything. The need for control led to the development of slavery, where the masters could own the source of labor. I have previously shared my thoughts on Human Events regarding the current relevance of Karl Marx.
