The Prof goes yard.
Instead [Trump] brought up all these positive, successful pro-Trump minority people and told his followers “look, these are our kind of people and we’re glad to have them.” And he reached out to others. Instead of meeting hate with hate, he met hate with . . . love. You might almost say ‘love trumps hate.’ Or maybe ‘Trump trumps hate, with love.’ And he did it without being smarmy or rolling over with some kind of sad ‘Republicans can be woke too’ carnival. He crushed the Democrats on this, and he did it with positivity and inclusion. I don’t think there’s another political figure today who could have done that, and only a few who might have tried. And it’s the only response that could have pulled the rug out from under the race war the Democrats seem unaccountably to want.
I know that you're not supposed to say or think things like this and I yield to no one in my sneaking admiration for all the many and varied aspects of Democratic criminality but I can't help but wonder if the Democrats realize how badly November's going to go for them.

It's like I've always said. I've never seen the sense in paying for Episcopal sermons when I can go to a nearby Episcopal Organization outlet and see one for free whenever the mood strikes me.
UPDATE: Sigh. At least I've still got MU.

APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY
NOW do you understand the Billy Graham/Mike Pence unwillingness to be alone in a room with a woman you're not married to??
As Republicans hold a convention that portrays President Trump as all but a living god, one of his most important supporters from the religious right is experiencing a precipitous fall from grace. Like a scene from a satire attacking the hypocrisy of organized religion, Jerry Falwell Jr. is being brought down in a sex scandal.
Uh huh.
Falwell — the son of the man who helped turn White evangelical Christians into a potent political force, and one of Trump’s most fervent advocates on the Christian right — has now resigned as the president of Liberty University after a social media post showing him with his pants half unzipped and his arm around a young woman went viral.
So is this an embarrassment to Trump, that one of his closest allies on the religious right is being so publicly shamed? Don’t bet on it. The truth is, while White evangelical leaders may still gather around to lay hands on Trump, he doesn’t really need them. He has their followers in a grip that won’t ever be loosened.
Paulie? Let me see if I can spell this out for you. For those of us evangelical Prots who support the president, Donald Trump is NOT a prophet. He is not the second coming of Elijah. He is America's First Government Employee, its First Civil Servant.
And that's all he is. Or ever will be.
Don't try this at home, as they say.

THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED
In case you're interested in why more and more of us are going to stop paying attention to Chinese Flu-related "public health" regulations, here 'tis.
Musical performers and celebrities coming to New York for the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) will not be subject to the state's 14-day coronavirus quarantine mandate, according to a New York Post report.
“The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and Citywide Events is working in close coordination with the production to ensure guidelines are being followed,” a City Hall spokesperson told the newspaper.
"[Performers] will only interact with other members of the cast and crew and will quarantine when not working,” the spokesperson added.

SCHADENFREUDE
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't giggling like an idiot. Moobs comes out for Biden.
One of the most revolting things about Joe Biden’s candidacy is his dishonest insistence that Donald Trump called white supremacists “fine people.” Democrats have successfully used this hoax to brainwash large parts of the American public into believing that Trump and his supporters are racists and anti-Semites. One wonders, therefore, how much consternation there is in Biden campaign headquarters now that Richard Spencer, one of America’s best-known neo-Nazis, is all in for Biden.
Richard Spencer is an unapologetic neo-Nazi. He’s frequently seen giving Nazi salutes, quoting Nazi propaganda, and making openly anti-Semitic statements. He thinks Haitians should be re-enslaved and that racial minorities should be removed from America. Not surprisingly, his wife has accused him of verbal and physical abuse. He is a terrible human being.
To sum it up, Richard Spencer is a vile racist and anti-Semite. President Trump strongly denounced Richard Spencer and all other white supremacists. Nevertheless, Joe Biden continuously lies about Trump’s denunciation, pretending that Trump is allied with white supremacists, as are Trump’s supporters.
And now for the punchline.
"I plan to vote for Biden and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on 'accelerationism' or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people."
Joe? DNC? Reaction?

STILL WAITIN', GAV
Why is it a health threat when Christians assemble together but not when Marxists do?
Why didn’t the city merely enforce the health order and issue the fines? Perhaps Los Angeles’s lawyers are afraid they will lose the lawsuit. If the city issues fines and arrests MacArthur and his congregation, not only would that provide a concrete and visceral example of the county’s oppressive crackdown on religious freedom but it would also increase the amount of damages awarded to MacArthur and GCC if they prevail in the case.
The lawsuit paints a damning picture of the despicable double standard in California’s coronavirus restrictions. According to the lawsuit, the American people have witnessed that “the onerous restrictions imposed on them by public officials to allegedly fight the COVID-19 pandemic simply do not apply to certain, favored groups. When many went to the streets to engage in ‘political’ or ‘peaceful’ protests purportedly against racism and police brutality, these protestors refused to comply with the pandemic restrictions. Instead of enforcing the public health orders, public officials were all too eager to grant a de facto exception for these favored protestors.”

GOTCHA
I see, AP. The Episcopal Shriners Democrats didn't REALLY leave the phrase "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance. They just said it twice instead of four times and both those times were when no one was looking. I understand completely.
Want to know something? Wouldn't bother me too much if the Democrats didn't use the word "God" at all. Since theEpiscopal Shriners Democrats view terms like "God" and "Jesus" and "Holy Spirit" exactly the same way as the Episcopalians do, as professional jargon, go ahead and leave them out. You're not fooling anybody anyway.

Stop yanking my chain.
A New Jersey election has been invalidated by a judge, and a new election has been ordered to be held, due to rampant mail-in voter fraud.
On Wednesday, State Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela ruled that the election for a Paterson City Council seat had been irreversibly tainted. A new election has been ordered to take place in November.

ELDERLY HIPPIES?
That's seriously the approach you want to take, Dems?
The closing song, “For What It’s Worth,” was written by Stephen Stills as a member of Buffalo Springfield — later of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fame — in 1966 — 54 years ago — in response to Sunset Strip curfew riots; a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Strip in Hollywood, California.
The history of the song matters, of course, because the Democrat Party has not only backed the continuing unrest in the now 85 days since George Floyd’s death; they’ve all but donned cheerleader uniforms, grabbed the pom-poms, and joined the rioters in the streets.
Me, I would have gone with the Velvet Underground or something.

I thought the CWE was basically Lib Central in this town but maybe not.
The St. Louis couple who brandished guns to protect their home from rioters will reportedly participate in next week’s Republican National Convention and support President Trump.
Patricia and Mark McCloskey, whose home defense went viral and drew threats of prosecution from the city’s Democratic chief prosecutor, will make an appearance during the virtual weeklong event, party officials told The Washington Post.

CONSPIRACY THEORY
Apparently this is a thing now.
Seems Donald Trump is gutting the Postal Service so he can win the election in November. You know, because of THE PANDEMIC, nobody's going to want to go out to a polling place but everyone's going to want to mail in their votes instead. Or something. There have been pictures of mailboxes being hauled away in trucks and people pretending to be all alarmed and stuff.
But it got me to thinking. I can't remember the last time I used a mailbox for anything. Used to use them all the time when I was a kid. There was one within easy walking distance of my house that I patronized on a regular basis. But I just stopped using them. I can't remember the last thing I had to mail to someone.
I don't pay my rent or my bills through the mail anymore. I don't have to. I have apps on my phone that instantly take care of that stuff (I don't even want to think about it if anything ever happened to that phone. My whole life is in that thing). I couldn't tell you the last thing I wrote a check for; I'm not even sure I can still do it right.
And these days, I rarely use cash for anything except the laundry.
I suppose there are security protocols that could be put in place to allow online voting at some point down the road. But we're not there yet. So if you want to make sure your vote counts, here's an idea. Wear a mask, find out where your polling place is and vote there.
Then go home.

Off the top of my head, I'd say for the same reason why this is covered by the First Amendment even though you didn't hand write it on a piece of paper and tack it to a church door.

OPTICS
Pull the trigger, Gav. John MacArthur dares you.
On Thursday, Pastor John MacArthur and Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, Calif., filed a lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), Mayor Eric Garcetti (D-Los Angeles), and other state and local officials, claiming that coronavirus orders prohibiting in-person worship services while officials encourage politically-favored protests violate the California Constitution. After Newsom ordered churches to shut on July 13, Grace Community Church announced it would remain open.
On July 29, the City of Los Angeles sent a cease-and-desist letter, threatening Grace Community Church and MacArthur with a daily fine of $1,000 or arrest. The letter gave him one day to respond. On Sunday, August 2, health officials came to the church, asking to inspect the premises. The church declined to let them in without a warrant and told them to speak with the church’s counsel. At that, they left.
The lawsuit argues that the American people have witnessed that “the onerous restrictions imposed on them by public officials to allegedly fight the COVID-19 pandemic simply do not apply to certain, favored groups. When many went to the streets to engage in ‘political’ or ‘peaceful’ protests purportedly against racism and police brutality, these protestors refused to comply with the pandemic restrictions. Instead of enforcing the public health orders, public officials were all too eager to grant a de facto exception for these favored protestors.”
That's going to be a great look for the Democrats, Gav. Arresting church-goers while giving a pass to the lefties and the Marxists. Tell Joe and Kammi to start thinking about how they're going to talk their way past those ads. Because you know those ads will be coming, Gav.

RHETORICAL QUESTION
Unlike his predecessor, President Trump actually accomplished something that advances the cause of peace. So one assumes that we can look forward to his Nobel Peace Prize. Can't we?
UPDATE: When even Tom Friedman is impressed...
UPDATE: This agreement has this going for it. The "Palestinians" are pissed.
“The Palestinian leadership rejects and denounces the UAE, Israeli and US trilateral, surprising, announcement,” said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a senior adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. That was just one indication of how welcome, how much of a breath of fresh air, the agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel really is. The Palestinian leadership has encouraged the murder of Israeli civilians and boasted of the ultimate destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews. If Abbas and company are unhappy, the free world should be happy.
Maybe, just maybe, the Muslim world is starting to grow up.

I don't know what's going on with the McCloskey case here in the STL but it sounds like if Kimmy has a functioning brain cell left in her head, she'll drop this the day before yesterday.
The lead St. Louis police detective investigating the McCloskey case refused to sign at least two versions of court documents prosecutors drafted, according to a review of those documents obtained by 5 On Your Side.
In addition, police contend at least one person in the crowd was armed and another was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, after analyzing videos taken June 28, when the couple confronted protesters with guns.

KNOW NOTHINGS
Kammi is Joe's veep selection. Good luck putting a "Catholic" spin on that.
Someone might want to remind Joe Biden, who’s just picked progressive California senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, that his vice-president-to-be believes Catholics are unfit to serve in our nation’s courts.
In late 2018, while evaluating the nomination of Brian Buescher to serve as a district judge in Nebraska, Harris posed a series of questions insinuating that his involvement in the Knights of Columbus — a charitable Catholic fraternal organization — disqualified him from serving on the bench.
Just go Episcopalian, Joe. It would be a lot easier for you.

ONE FOR TWO
We're giving Kimmy four more years.
The prosecutor who charged a now-infamous St. Louis couple for pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their mansion last month has won her primary election for a second term.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner — who President Trump accused of “extreme abuse of power” — triumphed over her challenger in the Democratic primary on Tuesday evening by a 61-39 margin.
Oh well. I guess that since Kimmy botched the Greitens case as badly as she did, she should get the opportunity to have the McCloskey business blow up in her face. Only fair.

WOW
This. Is. HUGE.
Cori Bush, a onetime homeless woman who led protests following a white police officer’s fatal shooting of a Black 18-year-old in Ferguson, ousted longtime Rep. William Lacy Clay Tuesday in Missouri’s Democratic primary, ending a political dynasty that has spanned more than a half-century.
Bush’s primary win essentially guarantees her a seat in Congress representing the heavily Democratic St. Louis area. Missouri’s 1st Congressional District has been represented by Clay or his father for a half-century. Bill Clay served 32 years before retiring in 2000. William Lacy Clay, 64, was elected that year.
She's a radical leftist? No change; so were Lacy and his old man. But the First District was a Clay family seat forever and this win indicates that the Democrats better not take anything for granted. It doesn't mean much in Missouri itself. The First District is one of the two places in this state where Democrats still matter (the other's Kansas City).
But try to imagine Ted Kennedy losing a Massachusetts senatorial election.

CORRIGENDUM
The Babylon Bee
Dear Sirs:
In a recent story, you claimed that Episcopal churches have begun employing cardboard parishioners to appear fuller than they actually are. As an Episcopalian from my birth in 1955 until 2003, let me assure you that nothing can be further from the truth; Episcopal churches are just as full today as they ever were and they have suffered no ill effects whatsoever from the various Anglican controversies over the last several decades. You may be confused by the fact that for many years now, it has been the fashion among Episcopalians, young and old, to attend church services disguised as empty pews.
Yours very sincerely,
Christopher S. Johnson

As an Episcopalian from my birth in 1955 until 2003, let me assure you that nothing can be further from the truth; Episcopal churches are just as full today as they ever were and they have suffered no ill effects whatsoever from the various Anglican controversies over the last several decades. You may be confused by the fact that for many years now, it has been the fashion among Episcopalians, young and old, to attend church services disguised as empty pews.
Yours very sincerely,
Christopher S. Johnson

Jenny Rubin looks into a mirror, sees herself and realizes that she's going to have six more election cycles of losing.
NO WAY IN HELL, ANDY
But thanks for playing.
Besides, I don't know why you'd need any money at all to rack up another 6,000 elderly corpses stacked like cordwood.

MCJ TRAVEL TIP
Avoid Seattle, Washington for the foreseeable future.
Well, it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all because what local lawmakers are doing is nothing short of allowing the city to be engulfed in violence and anarchy. They’re moving to abolish the police. It’s not defunding. It’s a total dissolution. Non-profit programs and “community-led activities” will replace policing. Why? Well, according to the resolution, the Seattle Police Department perpetuates racism and violence. Oh, yes, and it’s a vehicle of white supremacy. It's typical 'woke' nonsense, and it's a cancer that's killing America.

Two questions, Brian Stelter. Does CNN know that Florida has a quarter of the deaths that New York does? And does CNN know the difference between news and editorials?
