Scott, do you believe that the Director of the FBI Wray is a member of the deep state conspiracy group? Trump does!
President Donald Trump attacked his own FBI director Thursday in a series of vitriolic tweets. Christopher Wray had testified Thursday morning before the House Committee on Homeland Security about “very active efforts” by Russia to influence the 2020 U.S. election and “to both sow divisiveness and discord and...to denigrate Vice President Biden.” Trump, who has long contested his own intelligence agencies’ conclusions about Russian election meddling, wrote in response, “But Chris, you don’t see any activity from China, even though it is a FAR greater threat than Russia, Russia, Russia. They will both, plus others, be able to interfere in our 2020 Election with our totally vulnerable Unsolicited (Counterfeit?) Ballot Scam.” He cited no evidence for his claims about China or voting by mail. In another tweet, he wrote of the FBI’s investigation of domestic terrorism, “The Comey/Mueller inspired FBI is simply unable, or unwilling, to find their funding source, and allows them to get away with ‘murder.’”
On Friday, Sept. 4, just hours before the start of Labor Day weekend, Russell Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, issued a memo ordering all federal agencies “to cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund” diversity and inclusion programs for employees.
The memo referred specifically to “critical race theory,” a previously obscure academic framework that analyzes how the legal system and social institutions perpetuate racism. On Thursday, President Trump continued the attack on critical race theory while speaking at the National Archives Museum in Washington, calling it a “Marxist doctrine holding that America is a wicked and racist nation.”
He asserted it was being “forced into our children’s schools, imposed into workplace trainings and deployed to rip apart friends, neighbors and families.”
In the memo issued earlier this month, Vought wrote that “It has come to the President's attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.” He cited unspecified press reports that “employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend trainings where they are told that ‘virtually all White people contribute to racism’ or where they are required to say that they ‘benefit from racism.’”
The memo stated that OMB would soon issue “more detailed guidance on implementing the President's directive” but in the meantime directed all federal agencies to start identifying all contracts for trainings related to topics such as “critical race theory” or “white privilege” as well as anything suggesting that either the United States or any race is “inherently racist or evil” and to look for “all available avenues within the law” to cancel such contracts.
A spokesperson for OMB has since declined multiple requests from Yahoo News for more information on both the implementation of this directive and what prompted it. However, it didn’t take long for some paying attention over the holiday weekend to connect the dots between the vague yet alarmist language in the memo and and recent reports on Fox News and other conservative outlets warning of the dangers of such trainings, all of which appeared to be based on the claims of a conservative activist named Christopher Rufo.
Some news just brings a big smile to my face. "Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker has reportedly added her name to a group of New York business executives who are fed up with Mayor Bill De Blasio (D), demanding that the city do something to help businesses recover and to stop the decline in the quality of life in the Big Apple."

“President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence criticized the CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce during a phone call Friday morning, venting their frustrations over its recent endorsement of nearly two dozen vulnerable House Democratic freshmen,” Axios reports. ___________
My, my. When a Republican President loses the Chamber of Commerce...
Via Red State, this is obviously grossly untrue. Whether Biden said it as a sort of Trumpian lie, hoping to get a talking point circulating among his base whether it’s accurate or not, or whether his 77-year-old mouth was moving faster than his 77-year-old brain is unclear. Either way, many, many, many thousands of Americans would have died regardless of who was in charge.
Ross Douthat wrote a column a few weeks ago asking this very question — how many U.S. deaths are *really* attributable to Trump’s leadership? — then had to write a follow-up column addressing the backlash to his answer, which was “not as many as Trump-haters would like to believe.” But he’s undeniably right. I can think of three early catastrophes in the U.S. response off the top of my head that had nothing to do with Trump. One was the CDC’s screw-up in rolling out an effective test in February, a disaster the agency will never live down. Another is the early opposition among public health authorities to Americans wearing masks, a “noble lie” they engineered because they feared that a run on surgical masks by the general population would leave doctors and nurses with a shortage. And the third, of course, is Darth Cuomo’s decisions to wait until late March to lock down New York and then try to save bed space at hospitals by sending infected nursing-home patients back into their nursing homes.
That’s one key difference between the U.S. and Europe. We live in a federalist system that grants general police powers to the states, not the president. It’s your governor, by and large, who’ll determine how well your state responds to a crisis, which means Cuomo and others need to be incorporated into the blame equation. Unless, that is, Biden thinks there was some way for Trump to prevent the virus from entering the U.S. in the first place, which there wasn’t. I want him to look me in the eyes and tell me that he, as president, would have banned all travel into the United States on, say, January 1, with all the attendant economic consequences of that decision, due to an outbreak in China which everyone assumed would be contained to the region the way SARS was.
No other western country moved that quickly to ban travel so why would a different U.S. president have done so? Relatedly, as Douthat noted in his column, the death rate per capita in the U.S. is comparable to the rates in various European and South American countries. We’re behind Spain, the UK, and Brazil in that category and quite similar to Italy, Sweden, and Mexico. That’s not a compliment to Trump — all of those countries have had *bad* outbreaks, with lots of death. The point is simply that, going by the numbers, there’s no reason to see Trump’s management of the pandemic as uniquely bad relative to that of various other world leaders.
And as for the much-cited fact that the U.S. has four percent of the world’s population but some 20 percent of all COVID deaths, even that can be explained (at least partly) by factors unrelated to Trump. Namely, we’re just not a very healthy country. Earlier this year the percentage of U.S. adults who are obese passed 40 percent; in European countries, according to the WHO, it ranges from 10-30 percent. We’re all familiar by now with the fact that COVID preys on comorbidities, and obesity is an important one. An international study published last month found that “people with obesity who contracted SARS-CoV-2 were 113% more likely than people of healthy weight to land in the hospital, 74% more likely to be admitted to an ICU, and 48% more likely to die.” A population that’s larger around the middle will have a larger death toll.
“After MONTHS of heated accusations and painstaking negotiations, the White House and the pharmaceutical industry neared agreement late last month on a plan to make good on President Trump’s longstanding promise to lower drug prices,” the New York Times reports.
“The drug companies would spend $150 billion to address out-of-pocket consumer costs and would even pick up the bulk of the co-payments that older Americans shoulder in Medicare’s prescription drug program.”
SOUNDS GOOD?
“Then the agreement collapsed. The breaking point, according to four people familiar with the discussions: Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, insisted the drug makers pay for $100 cash cards that would be mailed to seniors before November — ‘Trump Cards,’ some in the industry called them.”
IN OTHER WORDS, IT COLLAPSED BECAUSE TRUMP PUTS HIS FRANTIC ATTEMPT TO GET REELECTED BY TAKING CREDIT ("TRUMP CARDS"!) FOR SOMETHING HE PROMISED LONG AGO AND SHOULD HAVE DONE BY NOW --- HE PUTS GETTING REELECTED BEFORE THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF OUR ELDERLY AND ALL OUR CITIZENS.
PRETTY 'TRANSPARENT' ALRIGHT, THIS 'TRANSPARENT PRESIDENT.'
HARRIS Campaign Town Hall explained to a female chicken Farmer how Socialism works.
Biden: "Number one, we should provide for your ability to make a lot more money, as farmers, by dealing with you being able to put land in land banks, and you get paid to do that to provide for more open space and provide for the ability of you to be able to be in a position that we are going to pay you for planting certain crops that in fact absorb carbon from the air."
As states continue reopening businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci told MSNBC that bars and restaurants remain closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Said Fauci: “Bars are a really important place of spreading of infection. There’s no doubt about that. And that becomes particularly important if you happen to be in an area where there’s a high degree of community spread.”
Melinda Gates told Axios that the Trump administration has neutered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and continued to bungle its coronavirus response, concluding that only a “lack of leadership” explains why far more people have died in the U.S. than in other developed countries. ___________
WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday of “complications of metastatic pancreas cancer,” the Supreme Court announced.
“Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said in a statement. “We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
RIP U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 87, you were so incredibly devoted, & an overcomer and a forerunner who blazed a path for the people of America ���� �� Thank you for your service. You were a pillar to the Constitution and you lived a remarkable life! Much respect and affection. ⭐️����⭐️
Public confidence in a U.S. vaccine is plummeting, and President Trump isn't helping matters.
Trump continues to suggest that a vaccine will be approved imminently, though none of the experimental candidates are done being tested.
As we reported in Wednesday's newsletter, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield testified that even in a best-case scenario, most Americans likely wouldn't have access to shots until mid-2021.
Trump, in turn, publicly chastised Redfield for giving “incorrect information.”
But, the Director of the Johns Hopkins Center of Health Security told the Post, “If you want people to have confidence in a national vaccine program, you don’t trash the director of the CDC.”
A new Pew Research Center poll found that nearly 80 percent of Americans think the vaccine approval process is being rushed, and barely half the country plans to get inoculated — a huge drop since the spring.
Responding to the confidence crisis, experimental vaccine developers Moderna and Pfizer both took the unusual step of releasing the full rule books for their blind trials, revealing that not even company executives know yet whether their vaccines are effective.
The CDC today reversed last month's heavily criticized change to its testing guidelines, which had dissuaded people without symptoms from getting a covid-19 test even if they had been exposed to the disease.
The White House had pushed for the now-deleted language against the advice of scientists.
A federal judge accused the Trump administration of “a politically motivated attack” on the U.S. Postal System and temporarily blocked a slew of cost-cutting measures that have been blamed for slowing mail delivery. The judge said the policies will likely delay the delivery of mail-in ballots and create a “substantial possibility that many voters will be disenfranchised.”
Joe Biden held a socially distanced, drive-in town hall Thursday night. While he didn't make nearly as many false claims as Trump did at his own town hall, our Fact Checker team wrote, Biden nevertheless told a few whoppers. Among them: that Trump could have prevented every single covid-19 death in the country.
Other important news A former aide to Vice President Pence starred in a campaign ad against Trump on Thursday, saying the president showed a “flat-out disregard for human life” during the pandemic and that she will vote for Biden.
An Idaho preacher who prayed against a national mask mandate is now in intensive care with covid-19.
The mayor of a Massachusetts town condemned the “reckless” actions of two parents who sent their covid-19-positive son to school and forced a mass quarantine.
Mexico announced Thursday that its border with the United States will remain closed for another month, until at least Oct. 21, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Israel, Spain and France all won praise earlier in the pandemic for suppressing their covid-19 outbreaks. But all three countries just surpassed the U.S. infection rate.
THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE SOME EASY, SIMPLE SOLUTION.
I would not call her concern "petty." Not even "petty politics." Very important politics.
In the next thread up, Ch suggests "Let's dispense with the politics for a day or two and just celebrate her life and the fact that she was an inspiration for millions of people."
That would be good, but remember, McConnell already insisted earlier he would go for a replacement. _________
Schumer Throws McConnell’s Words On SCOTUS Vacancy Right Back At Him September 18, 2020 8:34 p.m.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Friday repeated Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) words back to him verbatim:
"The Supreme Court vacancy shouldn’t be filled by this President."
In a statement on the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Schumer posted a tweet that sounded oddly familiar:
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” he wrote. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
McConnell, eagle-eyed observers recalled, said the same thing in 2016 in the wake of the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
One key difference: McConnell’s quote came in February in an election year, Schumer’s comes in mid-September, with less than seven weeks to go before Election Day.
Senate Republicans refused to consider a replacement for Scalia for months, holding out until President Donald Trump won office.
Democrats in recent months have pressed for the same standard to apply in the case of a new Supreme Court vacancy.
But McConnell, last year, said he would fill a 2020 Supreme Court vacancy. ______________
I think the backlash might very well be a problem for the GOP, with this little time left. I think the American people will want to have a voice in this.
Murkowski Won’t Vote for New Supreme Court Nominee
“Shortly before the announcement that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died Friday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in an interview that if she was presented with a vacancy on the court, she would not vote to confirm a nominee before the election,” Alaska Public Radio reports.
“Murkowski said her reasoning is based on the same reasoning that held up the confirmation of former President Barack Obama’s final nominee to the Supreme Court.”
Said Murkowski: “That was too close to an election, and that the people needed to decide. That the closer you get to an election, that argument becomes even more important.”
“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who refused to consider former president Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee in the months leading up to the 2016 election, vowed Friday to hold a vote on President Trump’s nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” the Washington Post reports.
Said McConnell: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.
“The statement marked the first salvo in what is certain to be a fierce political fight over whether Trump and the Republican-controlled Senate decide Ginsburg’s successor.”
Multiple sources close to President Trump with direct knowledge tell ABC News he is expected to put forth a nominee to fill Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat in the coming days.

___________
My, my. When a Republican President loses the Chamber of Commerce...
Last week, Republican Senator Josh Hawley called on Congress to investigate why federal agencies spent taxpayer dollars on critical race theory trainings, suggesting that in doing so the agencies may have violated federal law.
“I think that the president’s action here to stop funding is absolutely appropriate,” the Missouri senator said. “I personally wonder if there has been a federal law violation. It’s not clear to me that these agencies actually had authority under congressional appropriations to spend that money, the way that they were doing it. So, I really wonder if we got some federal legal issues.”

Her final statement Ginsburg said, “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is Dead
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the demure firebrand who in her 80s became a legal, cultural and feminist icon, died today, NPR reports.
The Supreme Court announced her death, saying the cause was complications from metastatic cancer of the pancreas.
Her final statement Ginsburg said, “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
I hope that wouldn't be her final statement. Looking at death it would be had to believe her mind settled on petty politics.
But if it's true, then she didn't get her wish.
I would not call her concern "petty." Not even "petty politics." Very important politics.
In the next thread up, Ch suggests "Let's dispense with the politics for a day or two and just celebrate her life and the fact that she was an inspiration for millions of people."
That would be good, but remember, McConnell already insisted earlier he would go for a replacement.

Schumer Throws McConnell’s Words On SCOTUS Vacancy Right Back At Him
September 18, 2020 8:34 p.m.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Friday repeated Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) words back to him verbatim:
"The Supreme Court vacancy shouldn’t be filled by this President."
In a statement on the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Schumer posted a tweet that sounded oddly familiar:
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” he wrote. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
McConnell, eagle-eyed observers recalled, said the same thing in 2016 in the wake of the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
One key difference:
McConnell’s quote came in February in an election year,
Schumer’s comes in mid-September, with less than seven weeks to go before Election Day.
Senate Republicans refused to consider a replacement for Scalia for months, holding out until President Donald Trump won office.
Democrats in recent months have pressed for the same standard to apply in the case of a new Supreme Court vacancy.
But McConnell, last year, said he would fill a 2020 Supreme Court vacancy.
______________
I think the backlash might very well be a problem for the GOP, with this little time left.
I think the American people will want to have a voice in this.
Murkowski Won’t Vote for New Supreme Court Nominee
“Shortly before the announcement that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died Friday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in an interview that if she was presented with a vacancy on the court, she would not vote to confirm a nominee before the election,” Alaska Public Radio reports.
“Murkowski said her reasoning is based on the same reasoning that held up the confirmation of former President Barack Obama’s final nominee to the Supreme Court.”
Said Murkowski: “That was too close to an election, and that the people needed to decide. That the closer you get to an election, that argument becomes even more important.”
McConnell Vows to Fill Supreme Court Vacancy
“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who refused to consider former president Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee in the months leading up to the 2016 election, vowed Friday to hold a vote on President Trump’s nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” the Washington Post reports.
Said McConnell: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.
“The statement marked the first salvo in what is certain to be a fierce political fight over whether Trump and the Republican-controlled Senate decide Ginsburg’s successor.”
