In Depth...
Do the same and live in peace. An advise from someone who's not following the Media.
Or watch the manipulated stories that brings money to the network and bring high blood pressure to yourself. You may not find any one to blame but....
Doubled down...
As Obama’s presidency winds down, and a ceasefire begins to take effect Syria that Washington played no role in negotiating, it’s becoming clear that the loss of life and the humanitarian crisis represent just the first of many consequences that historians will have to assess as they ask how the United States, under Obama’s leadership, chose to deal, or not to deal, with the Syrian Civil War.
The CIA trained 10,000 rebels "in Jordan and Turkey" at facilities run with the cooperation of the Jordanian and Turkish governments, but strict prohibitions were placed on the U.S. or its allies introducing "certain classes of weapons" (such as MANPADs) into the conflict due to fears they could be captured by terrorists—this despite the fact that all CIA-supported rebels are "vetted" for possible extremist ties.
Where was Biden during that time?
Just a thought.
Matters...
FBI has arrested the founder of a Black Lives Matter group in Atlanta on fraud and money laundering charges.
Sir Maejor Page, 32, was accused misappropriating $200,000 in donations he solicited through Facebook on behalf of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta.
He has spent over $200,000 on personal items generated from donations received through BLMGA Facebook page with no identifiable purchase or expenditure for social or racial justice," he said.
The FBI in Toledo said Page pledged to use those donations "for George Floyd" but instead used the money make purchases related to food, dining, entertainment, clothing, furniture, a home security system, tailored suits and accessories.
According to the bureau, Page also used $112,000 of the donated money to purchase a house for himself in Toledo, Ohio. The transaction took place last month.

Barrett...
Amy Coney Barrett[2] (born January 28, 1972)[3][4] is an American lawyer, jurist, and academic who serves as a circuit judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Barrett's scholarship focuses on originalism.
President Donald Trump nominated Barrett to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on May 8, 2017, and the Senate confirmed her on October 31, 2017. While serving on the federal bench, she was a professor of law at Notre Dame Law School, where she has taught civil procedure, constitutional law, and statutory interpretation.
Eleven months after her confirmation to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Barrett was added to Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees.[8]
On September 26, 2020, Trump nominated Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States, after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Listening to the politicians and some of the networks outlet, you may think that the world is deteriorating around us and the only way is to move to another country.
Amy
President Trump formally nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Saturday, kicking off what is expected to be a rapid confirmation process aimed at installing another conservative-leaning judge just weeks before Election Day.
Stifle...
Attorney General William Barr suggested that the calls for a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus were the "greatest intrusion on civil liberties" in history "other than slavery."
Addressing a Constitution Day celebration hosted by Hillsdale College, the event's host asked Barr to explain the "constitutional hurdles for forbidding a church from meeting during Covid-19."
Question lead Barr into a four-minute response where he said state governors were using their executive powers to stifle citizens and businesses from going back to work.
"You know, putting a national lockdown, stay at home orders, is like house arrest. Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history," Barr said as a round of applause came from the crowd.

Wave...
"What I am sort of flabbergasted by right now is colleagues, who a very short time ago were calling for abolition, are now suggesting we should be putting more resources and funding into MPD,” Councilmember Phillipe Cunningham, who supported defunding the department, said during a police reform meeting.
According to Minneapolis Police Department crime data, violent crimes such as assaults, robberies, and homicides are up in 2020. In August, the city passed the grim milestone of seeing more homicides in 2020 than in all of 2019. Arsons are also up 55%.
Cunningham’s ward has been one of the hardest hit by the crime wave, including the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy and two others who were hit by stray bullets while sitting in their homes.
Shit SHow...
In a Fox News interview, Obama was asked about his “worst mistake.” It’s a classic gotcha question, but he had an answer ready. “Probably failing to plan for the day after, what I think was the right thing to do, in intervening in Libya.”
This was yet another act of presidential contrition for the NATO operation in 2011 that helped to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi but left the country deeply unstable.
In 2014, Obama said: “[W]e [and] our European partners underestimated the need to come in full force if you’re going to do this. Then it’s the day after Qaddafi is gone, when everybody is feeling good and everybody is holding up posters saying, ‘Thank you, America.’
At that moment, there has to be a much more aggressive effort to rebuild societies that didn’t have any civic traditions.”
In recent interviews with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg on the “Obama Doctrine,” the president bluntly said the mission in Libya “didn’t work.” Behind closed doors, according to Goldberg, he calls the situation there a “shit show.”

Soliciting...
Jerry Harris, star of the Netflix docuseries “Cheer,” was arrested and charged in federal court in Chicago with soliciting pornographic videos and images of minors and soliciting sex from a 13-year-old victim at cheerleading competitions.
Harris, 21, of Naperville, was charged in a criminal complaint with one count of production of child pornography, which carries a minimum of 15 years in prison upon conviction.
After the FBI raided Harris’ Naperville home, he admitted that he had solicited lewd images and sex from the boy on numerous occasions, according to the complaint.
The complaint stated Harris also admitted to soliciting and receiving child pornography on Snapchat from “at least between 10 to 15 other individuals he knew were minors.”

Dems.
Peace in the Middle East instead of sending our troops with a cost of trillions of Dollars to "win" wars we never new what's for.
This President of the USA getting no credit whatsoever since it is about the Power and Money. Who has it and who wants it.

Edited...
During the campaign event, Biden began playing Fonsi’s hit 2017 song “Despacito” from what appeared to be his mobile phone, raising the device to his lectern’s microphones and bobbing his head along to the music.
But in the edited video retweeted by the president which Twitter labeled as “manipulated media” — the song played by Biden is the 1988 protest rap “F--- tha Police” by the hip hop group N.W.A. “What is this all about?” Trump wrote in an accompanying message.
In recent months, Trump’s preferred social media platform has taken a more aggressive approach to countering posts by the president that promote misleading information or violate the platform’s content policies.
Twitter appended fact-check warnings to a pair of Trump’s tweets in May about mail-in voting, prompting the president to sign an executive order targeting social media companies.
Wasteful...
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that his entire office, including himself, will be furloughed for a week to help fight the city's multibillion-dollar budget crisis.
The mayor’s office budget will be 12% less this fiscal year compared to last year's. De Blasio, wife Chirlane McCray and 493 others will take unpaid furlough at some point.
With a mayoral salary of $258,541 per year, de Blasio is expected to miss out on around $4,972 in a week-long furlough.
The mayor’s office found $12 million in savings over previous budgets, he said.
The mayor's office have 500 employees with a salary of 300 million dollars in addition to the cost. What a performance. Just a thought.

Free...
The hope for free stuff will not reach the people who need it. The poor will become poorer. Those who lives in NYSH will see more difficulties they haven't seen before. Those who have been sardines in the subway will suffer mire... Just look around you.
The Graveyard...
Vanity Fair contributor Peter Hamby cited Trump's weak polling among independents and women, insisting that a "fundamental shifting" among voters "would take something overwhelmingly dramatic."
It's just not 2016," Hamby insisted. "People have had four years of Donald Trump. ... and Joe Biden is just not Hillary Clinton. He's not."
Bill Maher responded. "I know, But what we're seeing, it doesn't matter. Because 5 or 6 percent is a lot in this country. That's a big, big, big victory. And if Biden doesn't get that -- and races tighten at the end!
You sound like the panels I used to have on right before the last election. ... You guys are whistling past the graveyard."
Refaeli...
Model Bar Refaeli was sentenced by an Israeli court on Sunday to nine months of community service along with her mother, who received 16 months in prison for tax evasion, putting an end to a prolonged court battle.
The 35-year-old Refaeli and her mother were convicted in July on offenses of evading paying taxes on income nearing $10 million in a case that sullied the name of the once-beloved national icon.
Refaeli entered the Tel Aviv courthouse in a beige T-shirt and wearing a light blue surgical face mask. She was accompanied by her father, Raffi, her mother, Zipi, and flanked by lawyers. This is outrages. Just a thought.

A Prayer...
Two Los Angeles sheriff's deputies were "fighting for their lives" on Saturday night after being shot multiple times in an ambush-style attack. The suspect was still at-large late Saturday.
One male officer and one female officer were injured in the shooting, which took place at about 7 p.m. local time.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the deputies were sitting in their patrol car at the time of the attack and both were shot multiple times.
The department shared surveillance video of the shooting on Twitter just hours after it happened. In the video, a person in black shorts and a black jacket walks up to the passenger side of the patrol vehicle and opens fire multiple times into the window without warning. The suspect then runs away.

Stock...
- The stock market hit new highs last week, and the history of market cycles suggests that the current bull market trend could continue for some time to come.
- In terms of the business cycle, the US economy is out of recession and into an early cycle recovery.
- In addition, the market continues to display characteristics of a secular bull market. Secular bull markets are prolonged super-cycles in which the market produces above average returns.
- Factors supporting the secular thesis include de-equitization (the number of public stocks is declining), a highly accommodative monetary policy, and a weaker dollar.

The pleasures of a well-cooked meal or loving sexual intercourse are "divine" and have unjustly fallen victim to "overzealousness" on the part of the Church in the past, Pope Francis says in a book of interviews published.
"Pleasure arrives directly from God, it is neither Catholic, nor Christian, nor anything else, it is simply divine."
"The Church has condemned inhuman, brutish, vulgar pleasure, but has on the other hand always accepted human, simple, moral pleasure," he added.
Francis - said that there was no place for an "overzealous morality" that denies pleasure, something existed in the Church in the past but insisted is "a wrong interpretation of the Christian message".
"The pleasure of eating is there to keep you healthy by eating, just like sexual pleasure is there to make love more beautiful and guarantee the perpetuation of the species," the pope said.
Opposing views "have caused enormous harm, which can still be felt strongly today in some cases," he added.
"The pleasure of eating and sexual pleasure come from God."
"The pleasure of eating and sexual pleasure come from God."
Francis, the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics around the world, singled out a 1987 Danish film called "Babette's Feast" as reflecting his message on pleasure.
Blame...
ON MSNBC's Al Sharpton said Tuesday that defunding the New York City Police Department is an idea "a latte liberal" may advocate, but not by those "Blacker and poorer" who have seen shootings and homicides surge in New York over the summer.
Sharpton's comments on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" come as the NYPD reported a 166 percent increase in shootings in August compared to the same month last year.
Overall in 2020, New York has seen an 87 percent increase in shooting incidents across the city, with more than 1,000 reported compared to 541 at the same time in 2019.
Sharpton added. "But to take all policing off is something a latte liberal may go for as they sit around the Hamptons discussing this as an academic problem. But people living on the ground need proper policing."
Murders are also considerably up in 2020, with a 47 percent increase reported in August compared to the same month last year.
Comment: DeFunding the police came from demonstrators and looters and those who went to destroy property. Not those of the Hampton. MSNBC should have corrected the record right there and then. Just a thought.
Quality..
More than 150 powerful business leaders in New York City joined together to warn Mayor Bill de Blasio that he needed to take more decisive action to address crime and other quality-of-life issues that they said were jeopardizing the city’s economic recovery.
Chief executives of companies like Goldman Sachs, Vornado Realty Trust and JetBlue sent a letter to the mayor portraying a bleak assessment of life in New York City during the pandemic, and suggesting a vote of no confidence in the mayor’s ability to correct it.
The letter asserted that there was “widespread anxiety over public safety, cleanliness and other quality of life issues that are contributing to deteriorating conditions in commercial districts and neighborhoods across the five boroughs.”
And if the mayor did not address those issues, the business leaders warned that people who have left the city would be slow to return because of legitimate concerns over “security and the livability of our communities.”
The City budget is 92 Billion dollars and the quality of life is designed for poverty, MAke your own opinion. Just a thought.

Warning...
The role of the Media in shaping the information became convoluted. The news became a thing of the past. It is a team of fast talkers, well paid speakers who are told what to say and to make it good. NBC, CNN and others consider themselves journalists, fair and balanced. Fair to who? Balanced by what standard? Just a thought.
Risk...
A class of drugs used for many conditions, including allergies, colds, high blood pressure and depression, may be associated with an increased risk of developing mild thinking and memory problems, particularly in people who have genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease or markers of this condition, according to a study published in the September 2, 2020, online issue of Neurology.
These types of drugs, called anticholinergic drugs, are used for motion sickness, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, Parkinson’s disease and high blood pressure. There are approximately 100 such drugs in widespread use, with some requiring a prescription and many others that may be purchased over the counter.
The study found that cognitively normal people taking at least one anticholinergic drug were 47% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment, which can be a precursor to dementia, over the next decade than people who were not taking such drugs.
On Fire...
Protesters in Portland threw rocks and fire bombs at police who in turn used tear gas on Saturday night and at least one person was injured, on the 100th day of demonstrations in the Oregon city against racism and police brutality.
And on Sunday, Shortly after arriving, the crowd began chanting, among other things, “burn it down," police said in a statement. Some in the group lit a mattress
“Because it was not an immediate threat to life safety or structures, officers remained far back and did not engage,” police said. “Another mattress was added to the fire, as was some yard debris. The larger fire began to send lit embers into the air.”
Since Multnomah County has a burn ban in effect due to extremely dry conditions, firefighters came in to extinguish the blaze.

Math...
The national polls after the convention tell a pretty clear story. Biden is up by around 8 points. That's what the poll shows. The average, depending on how you compute it, has basically the same thing.
The matches what we saw in the CNN/SSRS poll that had Biden up by 8 points nationally and with a 5-point difference in the aggregate of the 15 closest states in 2016. That 3-point gap is what our poll also had last month.
This 3-point spread between popular vote margin and the true margin pretty much exactly what we saw in 2016. Clinton won by 2 points nationally, while Trump took Wisconsin by 1 point and with it the electoral college.
Now, we obviously don't know what the exact difference between the popular vote and the true margin will be in 2020. But a difference almost always exists, and it's quite likely that this cycle it will favor Trump.
