Chris Wallace’s Back Must Be Sore
If anyone finds an accurate count of how many times Chris Wallace rescued Joe Biden, please post it in the comments.
2020 Debates: Watch Party
One drink for “Come on, man!”
One drink for “Drug test”
One tiny sip for each time Chris Wallace rescues Biden. I won’t be held responsible for alcohol poisoning.
Drain the bottle for “ear piece”.
The debate begins at 9pm Eastern.

Timing is everything: The old Gray Lady ain’t what she used to be, but she can still manage to conjure a story out of nothing. Using stolen tax returns and mirrors, the New York Times manufactured a scandal that will allow Chris Wallace to ask President Donald John Trump about his taxes at tomorrow’s debate instead of asking Biden why he and Obama used the FBI to spy on President Trump. (It’s deja vu all over again).
The strangest campaign in history.
And this just dropped.

Wealthy Developer Employs Accountants To Reduce Federal Tax
Update.
Read that closely. Trump PAID, as in transferred to the US Treasury, $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017. Note also that most of the overpayment was rolled forward, not refunded. The $750 figure is an ADDITIONAL $750. Thus every single story saying he paid $750 is a lie.

Florida lifts all Covid-19 restrictions
Interesting development from the Sunshine State:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says he is lifting all restrictions on businesses statewide that were imposed to control the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Most significantly, that means restaurants and bars in the state can now operate at full capacity.
Up to now, restaurants and bars in Florida could serve customers indoors at 50% of legal occupancy. DeSantis said his new executive order lifts that restriction statewide, though local governments can keep additional limits in place if they’re justified for health or economic reasons.
“Every business has the right to operate,” DeSantis said. “Some of the locals can do reasonable regulations. But you can’t just say no.”
Here’s a “news” report about this. “News” used to mean the straight reporting of new events. How many editorial comments can you pick out in this clip that’s less than one minute long? At least three. This is the news brainwashing that shapes the views of mindless NPCs.

Is Wells Fargo violating Trump’s executive order?
Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump extended his ban on Racial Sensitivity Training to Federal Contractors. For those who have never had to endure such propaganda training, the general message is, “All white people are inherently racist and thus bad people.”
In a recent press release, Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf, surrendered to the mob and apologized for some earlier comments he made. It would be very insightful for Wells Fargo to publicly release the content of their “Anti-racism training course”. If they have any dealings with the U.S. government, one can only speculate if they’re clearly violating this executive order.
Clean Up In Aisle Democrat
New York Times Magazine editors have quietly removed controversial language from the online version of Hannah-Jones’s 1619 Project, a package of essays that argue chattel slavery defines America’s founding. Hannah-Jones herself also asserts now that the project’s core thesis is not what she and everyone else involved originally said it was.
It “does not argue that 1619 is our true founding,” she said on Friday. She declared elsewhere in July that it “doesn’t argue, for obvious reasons, that 1619 is our true founding.”
This is a brazen lie.
Related: Social media users noticed Monday the controversial Black Lives Matter organization — the radical business behind the “social justice” movement — deleted its oft-cited “what we believe” page.

@PatrickRuffini – GOP holding the line means Senators with good political antenna are judging no political downside to moving ahead. The nomination will make little difference at the top of the ticket, but it may make a difference in MT, SC, & NC-SEN where the R base still has some slack.
Romney: “I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the President’s nominee. If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications,”
Ricin, Eh?
Update: She’s been identified as Pascale Ferrier, 53.
I think it’s a she.

I’m on-site in St Hubert, where local and national police are carrying out an operation tied to the deadly ricin that was mailed to the White House this week.
— Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) September 21, 2020
CTV – The RCMP say a police operation is ongoing at Vauquelin Boulevard, a residential street located south of Montreal.
A Canadian woman who was arrested this weekend on charges of mailing the poison ricin to the White House, had been deported back to Canada from South Texas after overstaying her visa in 2019, according to a report in The New York Times.
And Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra on Monday afternoon said that “envelopes” of ricin were mailed to him and three others in South Texas associated with the case, but resulted in no injuries. Border Report reached out to Guerra but he said he could not comment and tweeted this is an “active federal investigation.”
SCOTUS: SDA Brainstorming Session
Dear SDA readers, can we collectively put on our thinking caps and come up with likely lines of attack by the Democrats if Trump nominates Barbara Lagoa to the U.S. Supreme Court? What will they say to try to destroy her? Will they not worry how such attacks will be perceived by Latino Americans and other voters as well?
Update: SDA regular ‘Boots’ has recommended this discussion on this very subject.
Ricin, Eh?
Letters sent in recent days to the White House and to federal agencies in Texas contained the lethal substance ricin, and investigators are trying to determine if other envelopes with the toxin were sent through the postal system, a law enforcement official briefed on the matter said on Saturday.
Investigators believe that the letters were sent from Canada, and have identified a woman as a suspect, the official said.
The letter to the White House, which was addressed to President Trump, was intercepted, as were the letters to the federal offices in Texas. It was not immediately clear on Saturday which federal offices were targeted.

Outpourings of grief from the left…
Genius
President Donald Trump says he’s down for a four-hour debate with former Vice President Joe Biden — with podcast host Joe Rogan moderating.
The president declared his willingness to participate Monday morning tweet, after seeing a post from retired UFC fighter Tim Kennedy discussing Rogan’s proposal. Kennedy appeared as a guest with Rogan last week during which the host of the widely-listened to podcast offered to referee a 4-hour showdown between Trump and Biden.
