Barr sticks his neck out.
Our children don’t know what?
Rioters should fear.
Get That Guy Out There
Sounds like Attorney General William Barr, who is normally very soft-spoken, has finally had enough.
When asked about whether or not President Trump would leave the White House if he loses the election, Barr snapped:
“You know liberals project. You know the president is going to stay in office and seize power and all that s—? I’ve never heard of that crap. I mean, I’m the attorney general. I would think I would have heard about it.”
Barr also showed his concern about the country heading to a “mob rules” type of governance, saying:
“Increasingly, the message of the Democrats appears to be ‘Biden or no peace’. As an attorney general, I’m not supposed to get into politics. But…I think we are getting into a position where we’re going to find ourselves irrevocably committed to a socialist path. And I think if Trump loses this election — that will be the case.”
Barr also expressed concern with the way the election may go, saying:
“Just think about the way we vote now. You have a precinct, your name is on a list, you go in and say who you are, you go behind a curtain, no one is allowed to go in there to influence you, and no one can tell how you voted. All of that is gone with mail-in voting.
“There’s no more secret vote with mail-in vote. A secret vote prevents selling and buying votes. So now we’re back in the business of selling and buying votes. And the capricious distribution of ballots means harvesting, undue influence, outright coercion, paying off a postman, here’s a few hundred dollars, give me some of your ballots.”
When asked about Democrats accuse Trump of trying to manipulate the vote, couldn’t have disagreed more. He said it was the Democrats who were actually manipulating the vote and election night could be a disaster.
“They’re creating an incendiary situation where there will be loss of confidence in the vote,” Barr claimed. “It’ll be a close vote. People will say the president just won Nevada. ‘Oh, wait a minute! We just discovered 100,000 ballots! Every vote will be counted!’ Yeah, but we don’t know where these freaking votes came from.”
I like when Barr does these interviews. He is so soft spoken, calm and controlling of what he says, he brings calm to a chaotic administration. If I were Trump and the Trump campaign, I would send Barr out to organizations like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and like because he is the best salesman for Trump without actually looking like a cheer leader.

This is Disturbing
According to the Daily Wire:
A surprisingly high number of young Americans polled nationwide displayed profound ignorance about the Holocaust, with a sizable percentage even believing that Jewish people were responsible for it, according to the results of a survey released on Wednesday.
In the first-ever survey of young people between 18 and 39 in all 50 states about the topic, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany discovered that nearly two-thirds of those polled did not know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Nearly half could not name a single concentration camp or ghetto. Almost a quarter either did not believe the Holocaust happened, that it was exaggerated, or were unsure. About 12% had not heard about the Holocaust at all, or were unsure if they had.
Do you know what today is? It is the 233rd birthday of the Constitution. Should be kind of big deal, right?
The fact is our children know nothing about the civics of this country, world or U.S. history. Heck, most can’t do math or read at their grade level. Parents are beginning to see this now that their kids are at home, taking Zoom classes. They see what kids are being taught. They see that they know more about climate change than the Constitution. They know more about tolerance and diversity than they know about math. They know more about the LGBTQ than they know about U.S. history. Why do you think there is such a push to get kids out of public schools and into charter schools.
The Leftists have taken the educational institutions and are creating a future population of Antifa and BLM activists.

Interesting
A Kappa Delta sorority sister at Pennsylvania’s Franklin & Marshall College found herself behind bars with bail set at $1 million after engaging in alleged criminal protesting.
Kathryn Patterson, 20, joined demonstrations in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, over the fatal police shooting of 27-year-old Ricardo Munoz, who, according to body-cam footage, charged an officer while wielding a knife.
The undergrad was charged with arson, among other felony charges.
In total, 12 other alleged criminal rioters were also charged, with nine of them slapped with a $1 million bail, including Patterson.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Patterson’s father Chip Patterson called the $1 million bail “obscene.”
“Everything that I know so far, which is not a lot, indicates that Kat is not guilty of those charges. But then again, we’ll have to wait and see. I cannot tell you how long this night has been. I think regardless of what these people did or didn’t do, the bail amount is just outrageous and clearly against the Eighth Amendment.”
Yeah, I wonder what amendment protects the owner of the store she burned down? Oh, that’s right. It was in the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Her rights shouldn’t count when she deprived someone else of his rights. Anyway, her bail was dropped to $50,000.
This Could Be Our October Surprise
The Department of Justice is looking into whether federal charges can be brought against Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan over her failure to crack down on a so-called “autonomous zone” controlled for weeks by rioters.
Attorney General William Barr has tasked the DOJ’s civil rights division with investigating whether charges can be brought against Durkan, The New York Times reported on Wednesday evening citing two people familiar with the discussions. Barr has also asked federal prosecutors to consider charging rioters with sedition and insurrection against the United States government, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Barr’s reported push to charge rioters with federal crimes emphasizes the Trump administration’s push to reestablish law and order across America’s major cities, which have together been rocked by record amounts of damage. Insurance companies may shell out a record $2 billion to businesses and individuals because of riot-related destruction.
The DoJ is looking at charging do-nothing politicians with sedition. According to FindLaw.com:
Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it.
The Wall Street Journal says that charging politicians with sedition may be a stretch:
To bring a sedition case, prosecutors would have to prove there was a conspiracy to attack government agents or officials that posed an imminent danger, legal experts said. They added that there is a fine line between the expression of antigovernment sentiment, which could be protected speech under the First Amendment even if it included discussions of violence, and a plot that presented an imminent danger and could justify a charge of sedition.
The DoJ is also going after rioters on charges that could include sedition, conspiracy and RICO charges. In case you don’t know, RICO laws target those who cross state lines in order to commit crimes. So if Antifa member, Blake Smallschlong, decides to barrow mom’s car and drive from San Francisco to Portland and sets a building on fire, that is a federal crime and can fall under RICO.
I personally think that President Trump is getting closer to implementing the Insurrection Act. This is the act that allows the President to send in National Guard troops into cities and states to calm insurrections not matter what the mayor or governor want. I think he should have done this a week after the riots started. He still might do it. But I also understand the reason Trump doesn’t want to use it though it has been used several times in the past. The Presidents who have used the Insurrection Act include:
- Herbert Hoover
- Woodrow Wilson
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
- Swight D. Eisenhower
- John F. Kennedy
- Lyndon B. Johnson
- George W. Bush
The reason Trump doesn’t want to use it is because it is something that so goes against the Constitution and the rights of states and municipalities, even temporarily. I agree. But if the states and municipalities are blowing this so badly that law abiding citizens are getting hurt or their property destroyed, something needs to be done. That is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution too.
