Today’s featured image is of the #4 falls on the Oswegatchie river. The river runs through Hamilton, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties in northern NY.


The Tennessee Tiger is still on the loose. There have been more sightings of the striped feline in the Knoxville area. It is still unclear where Shere Khan came from however.


A three judge panel from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York blocked an executive order to exclude illegal immigrants from the 2020 Census. They argued that Trump’s executive order violates his “constitutional responsibility to count the whole number of persons in each State and to apportion members of the House of Representatives among the States according to their respective numbers.”


The Trump rally in New Hampshire on August 28th hasn’t produced a single case of Chinese lung AIDS. And that’s with most of the attendees not wearing masks. New Hampshire Health and Human Services Commissioner Lori Shibinette said officials aren’t aware of any attendees testing positive after the rally.

I wonder why this isn’t national news?


AG Bill Barr didn’t pull any punches when it came to the media in an interview with Townhall today. He went off on their lack of objective “journalism” regarding the rioting.

They’re basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They’re a collection of liars and they know exactly what they’re doing. A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people. It wasn’t until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid,

The press has dropped, in my view – and I’m talking about the national mainstream media – has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they’re reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. They’re very mendacious about it,” he continued. “It’s very destructive to our Republic; it’s very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It’s contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship.


The State Department announced that the visas of more than 1,000 Chinese students and academics have been revoked. Those who have had their visas revoked had failed to disclose their ties to the Chinese military or government.

Acting US Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf said that “China has leveraged every aspect of its country including its economy, its military, and its diplomatic power, demonstrating a rejection of western liberal democracy and continually renewing its commitment to remake the world order in its own authoritarian image.”


The ineffectual mayor of Portland has just taken away one of the most effective tools for crowd control the PPB had. He’s banned the use of chemical irritants (CS gas and the like) by the Portland cops. He says that after 104 days of unrest “We need something different,”.

The PPB released a statement, in part saying “Banning the lawful use of CS will make it very difficult to address this kind of violence without resorting to much higher levels of physical force, with a correspondingly elevated risk of serious injury to members of the public and officers,”


Joe Biden just can’t win. Just yesterday he claimed Trump put Israel in danger by withdrawing from the deeply flawed Iran nuclear deal. And then today, Trump announces another historic peace deal. This time between Israel and Bahrain.

Ohh, This close. . . .
