RUTHFULLY YOURS

www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/08/a-good-poll-for-trump.php

The Rasmussen daily presidential tracking poll for Friday, July 31, finds that 50 percent of likely voters approve of President Trump’s job performance, while 48 percent disapprove. 39 percent strongly approve and 43 percent strongly disapprove.

Comparing Trump’s approval rating to that of Barack Obama on the corresponding date eight years ago, Rasmussen finds Trump doing slightly better. On July 31, 2012, Obama’s approval rating in the Rasmussen poll was 47 percent.

If the latest Rasmussen numbers accurately reflect public opinion, and if these numbers hold up, Trump will likely win the election, assuming voter fraud doesn’t prevent that result. At best, Joe Biden is a generic opponent for Trump. Given his age and mental condition, he may be worse than generic. Either way, there is nothing about Biden to suggest that he can defeat an incumbent president with an approval rating of 50 percent.

However, I wonder how worthwhile current polling is when it comes to predicting the state of play as we approach Election Day. It seems to me that the outcome of the election will depend on where the U.S. stands in relation to the Wuhan coronavirus in October, and what the state of our economy is at that time. It’s hard to predict either variable.

Still, I find it mildly heartening to see Trump doing well in at one least one poll, given the unhappy situation with the virus right now and given the weak economy.

In 2016, the news-minding public endured an endless chant branding Donald Trump’s character and personality as “unfit” for office.

It was a slogan deployed against him by no less than President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Clinton debuted it in a major campaign speech echoed in a campaign ad featuring conservative writer Charles Krauthammer. In her speech, Clinton called Trump “tempermentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes.” Obama said, “the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.”

People who called Trump “unfit” for office in 2016 include Joe Biden; 2008 and 2012 Republican presidential nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, USA Today’s editorial board in its first presidential endorsement ever, later presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Rand Paul; RedState editor and “lifelong Republican” Leon Wolf, author of the debunked “Fire and Fury” novel Michael Wolff, TV personality Omarosa, 2020 presidential candidate Rep. John Delaney, Republican former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, and the United Kingdom’s now-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

It didn’t end when Trump took office, of course. This week, Trump’s niece Mary Trump has a new tell-all book just like all the others, also insisting he’s “unfit.” In the intervening time, we’ve heard the same buzzword from the FBI director Trump fired, Jim Comey; the national security advisor Trump fired, John Bolton; writer Andrew Sullivan; New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan; and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Clearly, Democrats have been trying to cement in voters’ foreheads the idea that Trump’s personality is unfit for office. Perhaps that’s because Democrats’ policies never have been as unfit for the office as they are now.

Just this week, in his first semi-public appearance in months, presidential Potemkin village candidate Joe Biden promised to be the farthest-left president in American history.

Cargo ritual, or cargo cult, is a religious practice whereby relatively primitive societies attempt to conjure up modern technology or lifestyle advancements through ritualistic behavior. Classic examples include the building of an airplane runway in the hopes of materializing the kind of cargo that airplanes bring, or building radios out of coconuts and straw.

The Democratic Party has been running a cargo cult for some decades. It is placing a bet that its latest savior figure, Sleepy Joe Biden, albeit an empty senile shell of a cult leader, can do it again and fool the people—one more time. As Biden is wont to say, “C’mon man.”

During World War II, Americans landed their huge aircraft, big bombers and fighters, all over the Pacific islands of Melanesia. The local natives came to love “Joe From,” (a.k.a. G. I. Joe from somewhere stateside). The planes would drop their goods, i.e., cargo, and the people got stuff like free soft drinks, canned Spam, chewing gum, and candy bars. They became totally addicted to it. 

But then the war ended, and the planes stopped arriving.

Ignorant as to why, the islanders built their own bamboo and wooden planes, many life-sized, beckoning the return of yet more cargo. It didn’t cause them to come.

On Thursday, a Florida health official told a local news station that a young man who was listed as a COVID-19 victim had no underlying conditions.

The answer surprised reporters, who probed for additional information.

“He died in a motorcycle accident,” Dr. Raul Pino clarified. “You could actually argue that it could have been the COVID-19 that caused him to crash. I don’t know the conclusion of that one.”

The anecdote is a ridiculous example of a real controversy that has inspired some colorful memes: what should define a COVID-19 death?

While the question is important, such incidents may be just the tip of the proverbial iceberg regarding the unreliability of COVID-19 data.

In May, a public radio station in Miami broke what soon became a national story. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had been conflating antibody and viral testing, obscuring key metrics lawmakers use to determine if they should reopen their respective economies.

The story was soon picked up by NPR, who spoke to an epidemiologist who condemned the practice.

“Reporting both serology and viral tests under the same category is not appropriate, as these two types of tests are very different and tell us different things,” Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security told NPR.

The Atlantic soon followed with an article that explained the agency was painting an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. The practice, the writers said, was making it difficult to tell if more people were actually sick or had merely acquired antibodies from fighting off the virus.

Public health experts were not impressed.

Democrats are having a good old time these days, running around, torching churches, looting stores, pulling down statues, painting Official Graffiti on the streets, and hitting cops with baseball bats.

I say to each of them, knock yourself out because it is all fun and games until the election comes around and you have to pay for your Summer of Hate.

President Donald John Trump trolled them in Seattle. He sent undercover agents to Portland, Oregon, to stop and question rioting Democrats.

That was on Friday.

On Monday, United Press International reported, “Democratic congressional leaders have called for an investigation into the legality of the Trump administration’s use of federal law enforcement officers during protests following reports of abusive practices being deployed against demonstrators in Portland.

“In a letter to the inspectors general of the Justice and Homeland Security Departments on Sunday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie G. Thompson and Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney urged for an investigation to be opened into reports Trump administration officials have abused emergency authorities to prevent Americans from exercising their right to peaceful assembly.”

The right to peacefully assemble does not cover throwing rocks and other objects at the police.

Americans know this.

Keith Ellison is the Attorney General of Minnesota.  On numerous occasions he has been charged and investigated for sexual assault.  The Bill Clinton of the mid-West.  Now he wants to make sure others get away with sexual assault and rape.  He wants social workers, not cops investigating rapes and assaults on women.

“Ellison stated: “If you’re a woman who’s been a victim of a sexual assault, and the assailant ran away, wouldn’t you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you’re dealing with, as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm? Right?”

In a tweet one user was appalled by the attorney general’s disregard for police officer capabilities, writing, “How is this guy an AG? Doesn’t he know they have special units trained to deal with sexual assault victims. What an insult – ‘their main training is how to use a weapon.’ Yes, help the victim, but catch the perp! Good grief.”

GOP rapid response director Steve Guest tweeted his prediction should Ellison and the radical left win in November, “This is Joe Biden’s Democrat Party and a reminder that you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

Defund the police and rape becomes a daily event—any women that votes for Biden is voting to put their lives at risk under the Democrats.

Another question is whether Keith Ellison can be considered a credible and unbiased voice on the issue of violence against women.

What’s been done and still being done to the American people over this coronavirus outbreak is obscene.  It is almost beyond words.

The American people have been beaten into the ground with propaganda spewed by Dr. Anthony Fauci aka the Bernie Madoff of the science world for the past five months. While Fauci has become a household name, Dr. Judy Mikovitz hasn’t.  Not for lack of trying on our part, but because of the reprehensible censorship by You Tube, Facebook and others. This is a lengthy interview with that courageous woman.

Dr. Mikovitz’ reputation has been shredded.  She was persecuted by our government and even arrested.  No charges were ever filed and she was released. But we all know what that can do to your reputation, credibility, career and future.

Why? Mikovitz went after Fauci.  The FBI opened an investigation which was killed by dirty cop, James Comey under another corrupt piece of dung, Eric Holder. Dr. Mikovitz cooperated with the FBI investigation throughout 2014. Now it’s time to go after Fauci who isn’t who the masses think he is.

Judicial Watch Files Lawsuit on Behalf of Daily Caller News Foundation for Dr. Fauci and WHO Records

“Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation against the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) for communications and other records of National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and Deputy Director H. Clifford Lane with and about the World Health Organization (WHO) concerning the novel coronavirus (Daily Caller News Foundation v. U.S. Department Justice (No. 1:20-cv-01149)).

“The suit was filed after HHS failed to respond to an April 1, 2020, FOIA request seeking:

Communications between Dr. Fauci and Deputy Director Lane and World Health Organization officials concerning the novel coronavirus.
Communications of Dr. Fauci and Deputy Director Lane concerning WHO, WHO official Bruce Aylward, WHO Director General Tedros Anhanom, and China.

“The time period for the request is January 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020.  Additionally, the DCNF requested and was granted expedited processing of its request.”

Now, I also filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on July 2, 2020 seeking the following documents during the FBI’s investigation of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute of Health:

All 302’s in possession of the FBI for all interviews conducted during the investigation of Dr. Fauci and any individuals employed at the time of the investigation at the National Institute of Health.

All emails generated by Eric Holder and James Comey during the investigation. This will include all emails from Holder and Comey to Barack Obama and responses received from Obama.

All snail mail correspondence generated by Eric Holder and James Comey during the investigation between them and any and all agents who worked the investigation.

All electronic and print documents from all agents who were assigned to the investigation. This would be emails and internal reports.

All electronic documents including emails and snail mail received by the FBI from any individual from the National Institute of Health associated with the investigation.

A copy of a final report or similarly titled document authorizing closure of the investigation.

Judicial Watch has to sue on a regular basis as do so many other investigative journalists, lawyers and just plain regular citizens trying to obtain information from agencies of the federal government to which they are entitled under FOIA requests.

I have no doubt and I knew when I filed this FOIA, it will eventually be a lawsuit as FBI Director, Christopher Wray, is a master cover-up artist.  Rest assured:  I will not back down on this FOIA no matter how long it takes.

Moving on regarding this endless nightmare day in and day out as the months drag by and more Americans are financially destroyed. More than 105,000 small businesses, the backbone of our economy permanently shuttered.  The retail apocalypse continues as does the rise of corporate bankruptcies.

All because of a new coronavirus blown so far out of proportion by the vile, prostitute MSM and agenda driven politicians.
