Ep. 1378 The Media and the Left is Missing This, Again - The Dan Bongino Show

https://rumble.com/vauebf-ep.-1378-the-media-and-the-left-is-missing-this-again-the-dan-bongino-show.html

In this episode, I discuss this disastrous Joe Biden television interview and the fallout afterward. I also address the massive political realignment happening as a result of the Trump presidency.

Amy Coney Barrett sworn in as Supreme Court justice at White House
Barrett's confirmation solidified a conservative majority on the high court

The Supreme Court said in a press release that Barrett will be able to start her new role after Chief Justice John Roberts administers her judicial oath on Tuesday. Justice Clarence Thomas administered the constitutional oath at Monday's ceremony.


‘Darkest US Day’: Amy Coney Barrett appointed in big win for Trump

Donald Trump’s nominee Amy Coney Barrett has been confirmed to the Supreme Court, in “one of the darkest days in the 231-year history” of the US Senate.

Following her death, the family of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg revealed that her dying wish was that she not be replaced before the election.

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” the 87-year-old told her granddaughter, according to NPR, days before she lost her battle with cancer in September.

It’s a wish that, just a week out from election day, US President Donald Trump has steamrolled: his nominee, conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate today, voted through by a 52-48 Republican majority. Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican senator to side with the Democrats in opposing Judge Barrett’s confirmation.

“It is highly fitting that Judge Amy Coney Barrett fills the seat of a true pioneer for women, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg,” Mr Trump said following the vote, adding it was “very important” because she’s “the very first mother of school-aged children to become a Supreme Court justice”.

Judge Barrett’s confirmation will not only go down in history as one of the quickest – taking place 30 days after her nomination and seven days before the presidential election – but also, Democratic senator of New York and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate”.

“Let the records show that tonight the Republican Senate Majority decided to thwart the will of the people and confirm a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court in the middle of a presidential election after more than 60 million Americans have voted,” he said.

“Let the record show that tonight the Republican Majority will break 231 years of precedent and become the first majority to confirm a Supreme Court justice this close to Election Day.

“And let the record show that tonight the Republican Majority will make a mockery of its own stated principle, that the American people deserve a voice in the selection of Supreme Court justices, completing the partisan theft of two seats on the Supreme Court using completely contradictory rationales.

Via Spit Take Brigade

Let the DOJ throw Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, HRC, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, O44 and the rest of the Deep State behind bars for corruption. And if they complain, let them make their case to SCOTUS

Biden pushes back on Trump's attacks in Pennsylvania: ‘I’m not eliminating fracking’

Rove breaks down Trump's 'path to victory' through Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin
Trump won all three states by fewer than one percentage point in 2016

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rove-trump-path-victory-michigan-pennsylvania-wisconsin

"I know from polls that I'm looking at in Arizona, private polls in Arizona [and] North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that the numbers are tightening," Rove told  "The Story."

"Think about it this way, if the president wins every state -- let's take the three Great Lakes states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin [and] put them to the side for a second. If the president wins any one of the rest of the states he won in 2016 and carries Pennsylvania, he's got 280 electoral votes, ten more than needed," Rove said.

"If he carries Wisconsin out of those three states, only Wisconsin, he's got 270," he explained. "If he carries Michigan out of those three states and loses Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, he's got 276, so the path to victory lies in these states."

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of his opponent during a virtual campaign event on Sunday.

Mr Biden, 77, appeared alongside wife Jill Biden for the I Will Vote Concert live-stream, which featured artists including Pink, Cher and John Legend as well as actresses Amy Schumer and Helen Mirren, among others.

“This is the most consequential – not because I’m running but because of who I’m running against – this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time,” Mr Biden said.

“And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot. What kind of country are we gonna be? Four more years of George, uh … George, uh … he, uh … gonna find ourselves in a position where, if uh, Trump gets elected, uh, we’re gonna be, uh, we’re gonna be in a different world.”

Why a winner of the US election may have already been decided

Who is going to win the US election remains the key question. But this is why there may already be a winner between Trump and Biden.

Journalist Sam Clench has it mapped out in his head. Biden wins the popular vote and Trump wins the electoral college. Just like 2016. The possibility of corruption procedings impacting the vote has not occurred to him. The Deep State has to be be deep sixed, or everything is lost.

What happens if Donald Trump loses the US election, but refuses to concede?

Donald Trump has refused to guarantee he will leave office if he is declared the loser of the election. If he tries to stay, this is what happens next.

Donald Trump convinced he’s going to win election

British TV host Piers Morgan hadn’t heard from Donald Trump in months, but the President surprised him with a call and made a big prediction.

Press are walking both sides of the street with this one. Another article worries what would happen if Trump did not concede.

Reserve Bank indicates recession is over

The Reserve Bank of Australia says its “best guess” is Australia’s economy grew in the September quarter, spelling an end to the recession.

Despite the awful performance of every state ALP government, Australia is doing ok with COVID. Something our grandchildren can be proud of, as they pay off our debt.

Coronavirus Victoria live: World reacts to Melbourne's lockdown lift

The easing of Victoria's tough coronavirus restrictions have made global headlines overnight, but not everyone is on Dan's side.

“Any population can beat the spread by locking citizens in their houses, putting in a curfew, shutting business and preventing families from seeing each other for months on end. That’s the price you pay. It’s up to each community to decide if they are willing to pay it,” one person responded.

Coronavirus Victoria live: No changes to face mask rules in Victoria


Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced “now is the time to open up”, but there’s still one restriction he won’t budge on.

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/coronavirus-victoria-live-no-changes-to-face-mask-rules-in-victoria/news-story/5025bb1b932034b3de41ce718ae87259

“We are not indicating any easing of masks today,” Mr Andrews told reporters.

“Masks are incredibly important. Difficult, you know, not particularly pleasant, but for a very low cost we get potentially a very, very high benefit.

“That’s why we’re going to persist with those for a while. We’re not quite sure how long.

“It may be that the settings change, potentially, but masks are going to be, particularly when you’re going to be proximate with other people, a feature. It is a very low cost for a very big gain.”

If neither wearer suffers from COVID, what is the point? Isn't it the case COVID sufferers are quarantined? Aren't there contact tracing experts? What about treating sick people? 

===

More than one incompetent is behind the death of some 800 Victorians over COVID. Claiming to be helping Victoria, Sutton authorised curfew, denied effective medication, exposed the weakest to the disease and prevented the strongest from working. He has demanded Victorians wear face masks despite quarantining sick people and healthy people not needing the mask as a benefit. He had crime tape placed on children's slides and swings. But the media claim he is handsome

Victorians lost lives, jobs and a part of themselves during lockdown

The darkest time in Victoria’s history is behind us, but we’re still stuck. We sacrificed a part of ourselves in lockdown and it’s showing.

https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/victorians-lost-lives-jobs-and-a-part-of-themselves-during-lockdown/news-story/545827ade5ae36243b38c0ba74e4dd2e

When people talk about the “sacrifice” Victorians made, I wonder if we’re on the same page.

The definition changed for me recently — just after Daniel Andrews uttered those now immortal words: “Now is the time to open up.”

For months, throughout the entirety of a jarring, agonising, monotonous lockdown, I had thought about the sacrifice that others were making.

The healthcare workers who sacrificed their own safety to stand in front of a deadly virus and put the public first.

The business owners who sacrificed a life’s work when they walked away from what they built, sometimes never to return.

The families who sacrificed a final goodbye with loved ones in aged care homes or at funerals with a 10-person limit, not including the deceased.

But there’s something else that struck me about sacrifice when the Premier delivered the news on Monday that Melburnians had waited so long to hear.

Journalist totally misses the point. Lockdown has not addressed COVID, but delayed the inevitable. Victoria still needs to work while people get infected and treated. Healthy people have had no benefit from not working for over six months. Elderly have had no benefit of effective treatment while they were sedated under lockdown. Children have missed some six months of schooling. The infections that caused lockdown were from government failure. Even the latest mishap was from government telling a sick kid they could go to school, then government panicked.

South China Sea: China’s aggression backfiring as Quad alliance mobilises

Even neutral nations are hitting back at Beijing’s “wolf warrior” tactics but China’s doubling down and has threatened Australia’s “peace and stability”.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/south-china-sea-chinas-aggression-backfiring-as-quad-alliance-mobilises/news-story/a6eb7c9a563c88254b57e1583d17996e

A recent Pew survey, which encompassed 14 different countries, found China’s reputation has collapsed to a historic low. And a cacophony of crises is behind it.

At the UN, 39 nations issued a joint statement declaring their fears over cultural genocide of the ethnic Uighur Muslim minority in occupied Xinjiang. Some 70 years after the invasion of Tibet, concerns at the forced assimilation of this ancient culture are once again being expressed.

Sparking it all has been Beijing’s blatant disregard for the handover agreement it signed with Great Britain over the handover of Hong Kong. Now democracy advocates there – be they students or parliamentarians – are being detained.

Tricky maths question NSW HSC students struggled to solve

Scores of NSW students sat their HSC standard mathematics exam on Monday – but one curly question left many of them stumped.
https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/school-life/tricky-maths-question-nsw-hsc-students-struggled-to-solve/news-story/4510caaf76bb0018cab0ae4bd330c8cd
Hard Question? 


extra detail

The student has been given a least square regression line and values to solve for 'b' and then apply the formula. Any senior math student should be able to do that. Some cannot. 


Hard stimulus to respond to?
It is so easy to describe this, and show one has studied the art of critiquing. Multiple colours of the rainbow suggesting hetero normative discussion with objects retaining traditional colours. But the words subvert the meaning. The words are related to the objects or colour. A honey yellow sun. Words that begin with 's' for the star, or 'w' for water. Tsar being an 's' word that is funky. One bird flew, another flee, but both words are a tense of fly. The boat is brown and named 'The Pencil' and is towed with a pencil. Etc etc
