Poor Corey Lewandowski..... Lewandowski Demanded Cash After MAGA-Land Kicked Him to the CurbGET HIM OUTTA HERE "It doesn’t matter if he’d asked for five dollars, it wasn’t going to happen," one individual familiar with the situation said. Asawin Suebsaeng Senior Political Reporter Roger Sollenberger Political Reporter Updated Oct. 06, 2021 9:24PM ET Published Oct. 06, 2021 9:13PM ET Last week, Donald Trump announced the exile of his confidant and former top campaign aide Corey Lewandowski, with advisers banishing him from leading a major pro-Trump super PAC, following sexual-misconduct allegations against the loyalist from a big GOP donor. But Lewandowski, initially, wouldn’t go, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. One person who was keen on Lewandowski walking away empty handed was none other than his ex-boss and pal: former President Trump. The twice-impeached ex-president, and current leader of the GOP, didn’t want to see Lewandowski slinking away with any of that money—which Trump views as his money, despite the patina of distance that is legally required between candidates and super PACs. *** Instead of grappling with the notoriously belligerent operative, however, his MAGA Action colleagues simply abandoned him. Within days of Lewandowski’s firing they’d spun up a new super PAC, with a strikingly familiar name: Make America Great Again, Again! A pointed press statement on Monday declared the new group “the ONLY Trump-approved super PAC,” making no mention of the wayward former leader by name.*** While Lewandowski’s own demands came up short this go-round, he was acting on precedent. After his ignominious dismissal during Trump’s first run—also prompted by accusations of assaulting a woman—Lewandowski scored a fat $20,000-a-month severance, netting him a total of nearly half a million dollars for his 14 months of service.www.thedailybeast.com/lewandowski-demanded-cash-after-maga-land-kicked-him-to-the-curb |

10-6-2021 Something to remember the next time the right blames the increase in crime on the Biden Administration. I don’t blame the Biden admin, I blame the liberal Democratic run cities that are more interested in defunding the police then stopping crime. Look at what just happened in Chicago, link. New York City saw approximately 500 murders in 2020, compared to 319 in 2019. Los Angeles saw 351 murders last year, versus 258 in 2019, Chicago reported 771 murders last year, up from approximately 500 in 2019. From the NCCCJ; “The number of homicides rose by 24% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 (an increase of 193 homicides) and by 49% compared to the first quarter of 2019 (an increase of 324 homicides).” Show me where violent militaristic policing has diminished crime? We’ve been doing it for more than a century and crime is still here, thriving. The current police system is not set up to ‘end’ crime. It’s set up to keep the existing system in place. It doesn’t provide any solutions for the underlying causes of crime. It impedes people from improving their lot in life preventing them from escaping the underlying conditions that make crime an appealing alternative. It doesn’t help elevate people from generational poverty. It doesn't address mental issues & lack of affordable care options to most of the population. It does keep generations of systemic racism in place though. Especially when arrests, convictions & sentencing are racially inequitable. |

Definition of “The Gang that can’t shoot straight”
This has really become a much used part of the language in the States. Google has a ton of examples of its' use for everything from city governments to Rumsfelds Defense Department to Kerrys Election Campaign staff. Whenever an organization seems to be muddled, ineffective, and get in its own way, this term applies.
Let’s see.
The Republican Party is made up of liars and cheaters.
The Democratic Party is made up of individuals who have good ideas but can’t seem to get out of their own way. Aka the “Gang that can’t shoot straight.”
Why do I say that? Because of things like this.

10/06/2021 Such class... Not!!! Purely disgusting!!! Birds of a feather sure do flock together!!A conservative activist booted from her leadership role in a campus group over racist remarks has landed a prestigious clerkship after the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took her under her wing. Crystal Clanton left the conservative Turning Points USA organization in 2017 after her racist texts -- "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like f*ck them all...I hate blacks. End of story" -- surfaced, but she soon landed a job assisting Ginni Thomas with her right-wing media ventures and then went on to George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. She will now clerk for federal appeals court judge William Pryor, reported The Daily Beast."It defies belief that Pryor — or Ginni Thomas or [TPUSA head] Charlie Kirk for that matter — was unaware of Clanton's views,"wrote columnist Kali Holloway. "Thomas hired Clanton right after her stint at TPUSA and kept her on, gushing about her on social media, despite negative coverage. Kirk suggested he was outraged after Clanton's racist texts leaked, but subsequent reporting showed she 'would exchange racist remarks regularly with other TPUSA staffers.' Federal clerkships like the one Clanton just landed with Judge Pryor are highly coveted and prestigious stepping stones and applicants are thoroughly vetted before being selected."Pryor, who was on Donald Trump's shortlist to replace Scalia, is an outspoken opponent of abortion and voting rights and favors executing the mentally disabled and brutally harsh treatment of prisoners, chose Clanton over numerous candidates despite her clear racist views. "Clanton didn't cloak her racism in language that could later be disguised in any way; she made a statement that was deliberately clear about her hatred for Black folks," Holloway wrote. "Not only is Pryor cool with that, news of Clanton's selection hasn't seemed to upset anyone in the conservative sphere. If you need proof that conservatives across the board are OK with anti-Black racism and Islamophobia ... their deafening silence is exhibit A." www.rawstory.com/crystal-clanton/ |

Another fraudit to come.... Republican legislators announced they're investigating possible election fraud in one of the North Carolina counties that backed President Joe Biden. *** GOP legislators say they've received "many, many millions of accusations" of "machine tampering votes being switched because of modems," although voting machines in the state do not have modems and are, by state law, not connected to the internet.www.rawstory.com/north-carolina-election-results/ |

GOP's own witness.. They called him!! The House Oversight and Reform Committee on Thursday questioned former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who was the Arizona Senate liaison to the Maricopa County 2020 election audit. Bennet was invited to testify by GOP members.During his questioning by California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Bennett was asked about the fact that the months-long hand recount confirmed that Joe Biden won the election and there was no mass voter fraud designed to "steal" the election from former President Donald Trump. "Do you have any reason to believe today that Joe Biden did not win the state of Arizona?" Khanna asked, later clarifying his question: "Do you think he is the legitimately elected president?""Yes," Bennett replied. "So when President Trump says, 'We won the Arizona forensic audit yesterday at a level that you wouldn't believe,' and said of President Biden, 'He didn't win in Arizona, he lost in Arizona based on the forensic audit,' that is false, correct? I'm not asking you to pick a fight with the former President, I just want to make sure people understand what the record is. That is not a true statement, correct?" Khanna said, addressing Bennett. "I would not characterize it that way," Bennett replied. "I was asked by the Senate to be the liaison to the Maricopa audit, the Maricopa audit found that the results were very similar to what Maricopa County canvassed in the official results." www.rawstory.com/house-hearing-on-arizona-audit/ |

Deep breaths.... Are you ready for this... Pillow guy has a new theory!!! Mike Lindell has so far failed to prove his allegations of "voter fraud" in the 2020 election -- and now Salon reporter Zachary Petrizzo brings word that the MyPillow CEO's claims about election fraud are growing even more outlandish. According to Petrizzo, who frequently monitors Lindell's media appearances, the Trump-loving pillow salesman on Thursday said that he discovered that someone who was 850 years old apparently voted in the 2020 presidential election. Additionally, writes Petrizzo, Lindell claimed that "he and his team have identified 2,000 people over the age of 200 that voted." Lindell would not specify the names of the purported centuries-old dead people who voted, nor would he disclose the states they supposedly voted in. Lindell's claim that someone who hasn't been alive for over seven centuries voted in an election last year seems highly dubious given that the United States of America did not exist back when this person was still alive. www.rawstory.com/mike-lindell-voter-fraud-2655251741/ |

Dr MTG speaks!! Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday lashed out at the Biden administration for not recommending anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, even though that drug has not been proven to be effective against the disease. While appearing on "Real America's Voice," Greene touted ivermectin's purported effectiveness against COVID-19 and gushed that "it even won a Nobel Peace Prize."In fact, ivermectin did not win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rather, scientists William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work showing that ivermectin can be effective in treating against infections caused by roundworm parasites.www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-ivermectin-2655251962/ |

Proud Boys leader BIGGS... Rep BIGGS... Any relation?!?!? The New York Time is reporting that Proud Boys member Ryan Samsel earlier this year told law enforcement officials that Proud Boys leader Joseph Biggs ordered him to push down barricades at the United States Capitol on January 6th.According to the paper's sources, Samsel claimed that "Biggs encouraged him to push at the barricades and that when he hesitated, the Proud Boys leader flashed a gun, questioned his manhood and repeated his demand to move upfront and challenge the police." www.rawstory.com/proud-boys-capitol-riot-2655251506/*** On CNN Thursday, anchor Anderson Cooper tore into Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) for continuing to perpetuate Trump's "Big Lie" — even after multiple audits, including a partisan private recount of Maricopa County backed by Republicans, failed to find any evidence that the election was stolen or corrupt. If any reminder were needed that today's majority report is more about today and tomorrow than the past, here's some more gaslighting today from Republican Congressman Andy Biggs," said Cooper, playing a clip in which Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) grilled Biggs over the election results. www.rawstory.com/anderson-cooper-2020-election/****** Just a little tid bit!!! Biggs worked as a lawyer for a firm based in Hobbs, New Mexico, before relocating to Phoenix, where he worked as a prosecutor.[7] In 1993, he won $10 million in the American Family Publishers sweepstakes.[9] He appeared in a TV ad with Dick Clark and Ed McMahon to promote the sweepstakes.[9][10] I am thinking he has no major financial issues. He is also LDS. |

Pleasantly surprised!! Joel Osteen's Texas megachurch has repaid millions received under the forgivable Paycheck Protection Program, the Houston Chronicle reports. "Lakewood received about $4.4 million through the Paycheck Protection Program to cover payroll and other expenses as it shuttered in-person services for seven months last year. After the Chronicle reported the loan, Osteen's name trended nationally on Twitter as people criticized him," the newspaper reported. *** As Raw Story reported at the time, Osteen was roasted as a "grifting scumbag" on social media. The church has since provided the Chronicle a bank statement saying it has made payments on the loan since January. www.rawstory.com/joel-osteen-ppp-loan/However somethings to think about. The Daily Beast noted that Osteen is reportedly worth $50 million. Osteen reportedly owns a $300,000 Ferrari and a $10.5 million mansion, and has been photographed traveling in style on a luxury jet," |

So, here is his reason to doing rallys.... Donald Trump on Saturday revealed he continues to push his "Big Lie" of election fraud because of the applause it receives at his rallies. Trump's comments came at the same Iowa rally where he bragged about refusing to concede that he lost the election to Joe Biden and said the Supreme Court has low approval ratings because they refused to overturn the 2020 election. (me: listen how quickly he says 'sir' they said,...note how quiet the crowd is...) youtu.be/VIq5VxwEd9Mwww.rawstory.com/trump-rally-big-lie/ |

Former sent a video to Ashlii Babbitt's family saying there was no reason for her to have died. BTW: her family did hold a birthday party for her.. The woman shot and killed while breaking into the outer hall of the U.S. House Chamber would have celebrated her birthday this weekend, according to her family. They held a party despite the woman being gone. Trump then read her biography and said that she was shot upon entering the Capitol, which isn't true. Babbitt was shot after a group of people broke the glass into the House's outer chamber. Many people shouted, "gun! Gun! He's got a gun!" but Babbitt crawled through the window anyway. That's when the officer fired. A Trump flag was used in an attempt to stop the bleeding. http://www.rawstory.com%2Ftrump-message-to-ashli-babbitt%2F www.rawstory.com/trump-message-to-ashli-babbitt/One of the responses to his tweet said that he sat and watched her get shot and did nothing to help or stop the insurrection!! Just kept watching it all for hours. |

Republicans truly believe that people chose to be poor. As such they have no compassion for them. Ugh, I never could stand Stephen Moore, and then when the dirt came out about him in 2019, CNN dropped him. Hate to see these cockroaches keep coming back.
As a sidenote, his comments about Foodstamps are personally disgusting IMO. There are disabled people, senior citizens, children and other people in need of help from DCFS with Foodstamps. Believe me, Foodstamps does NOT make it easy to just sit back and collect food $. DH and I have both worked and paid taxes for decades, and then when we realized that we might qualify for Foodstamps, it was a blessing. It has become a horrible battle to prove how in need you are. His words completely anger me, and I don't believe it's a REPUBLICAN stance that the poor "choose" to be poor. That sounds much more like stupid Ayn Rand populism, which has spread through the Republican GOP. It's hard to find a tried and true old-school Republican these days.

Just kept watching it all for hours. I watched it happen live (didn't many of us???). When these crazed terriorists reached the House's doors that led to the inner chamber, the police were calmly trying to keep them back. They tried to bash the glass of the door and Babbitt began her spiderman-like climb onto to upper portion of the right door area. The people were all shouting, "Gun"! so she knew that she was in dangerous territory. This Air Force Veteran seemed to have lost her mind when she began believing in TFG's crap. Her own family and friends said as much. She traveled from California to make it to the Capitol and was very aggressive. She was no hero. She should have known how dangerous it was to penetrate that particular area of the Capitol. Seeing her quickly pass away on the floor was very upsetting to see, but TFG doesn't speak of the other woman who died (again, on camera!) while trying to fight the Capitol police in a tight area. Wonder why? |
