Biden on Bullying Female Senator in Restroom: “It Happens to Everyone”

Biden was asked if following a female Senator into a restroom is “crossing a line?” His answer, a quick “I don’t think they’re appropriate tactics” followed by “but it happens to everybody” and “It’s part of the process.” Video (Twitter). The media is working overtime to portray Biden’s comment as no big deal (RedState).

Sinema Now Harassed by Illegal Immigrant While on Airplane

Biden’s “it’s part of the process” continues its natural path as the far-left targets anyone who dares cross them in any area (Washington Times). From David Harsanyi: Our country is so free that illegal immigrants can yell at senators in public without worrying about any repercussions (Twitter). The woman videoed herself harassing Sinema, clearly seeking attention (Twitter). A story claims George Soros is financing the group targeting Sinema (The Federalist). From Tim Carney: All the rules they impose on conservatives, none of them believes them (Twitter). Rich Lowry called Sinema “the new Brett Kavanaugh” (Twitter).

York: Media Help Push the Bullying of Manchin and Sinema

From the story: The New Republic ran an article headlined, “Democrats, Stop Negotiating With Traitors” — with Sinema, along with Manchin, being the “traitors” in question.

Attorney General Tells FBI to View Parents as “Threat” If They Oppose Critical Race Theory

In his letter to the FBI, Merrick Garland tells them the constitution does not protect “efforts to intimidate individuals based upon their views” yet that is exactly what is happening to Kyrsten Sinema. Garland wants parents who oppose CRT to be viewed as potential terrorists. Letter is included in the tweet (Twitter). From Sean Davis: BLM torches cities, and the ruling regime shrugs. Illegal aliens stalk and harass an Arizona senator who opposes one aspect of the regime’s proposals, and the regime shrugs. Parents protest the regime, and the regime dubs them terrorists and sends the corrupt FBI after them (Twitter). From Allie Beth Stuckey: I know this is scary, parents, but the only appropriate response to this is to double down (Twitter). From Seth Mandel: Truman was always right about the FBI, and now we’re back to having a president who’s been reading too many books on FDR. I guess if you want to protest school officials you’ll just have to follow them into the bathroom (Twitter). From Rod Dreher: Violence — real or threatened — in school board meetings is unacceptable. But here’s the thing: why federalize this? Why isn’t local law enforcement capable of handling these cases? Why involve the Justice Department? One wonders if the Left is not trying to deploy the same strategy the FBI used against the KKK during the Civil Rights era against parents today who dissent from CRT and/or gender ideology taught to their kids, and vaccine policies. How many parents will be willing to show up at all at school board meetings to object if they fear that in so doing, they will become ensnared with the FBI? Perhaps this is the point (American Conservative).

New York’s Largest Healthcare Provider Fires 1400 Workers Over Vaccine Mandate

Northwell Health then proudly declared themselves 100 percent vaccinated (Fox News). From Dan McLaughlin: I was told that everybody would comply. Clearly, the tone being set from the top of state government is the problem (Twitter).

Fauci Gives False Statement About Not Gathering at Christmas

Fauci backtracked, but with clear deception, claiming he was taken out of context, which he was not. He said on CNN “I was asked, what can we predict for this winter like December and Christmas…I said we don’t know, because we’ve seen slopes that went down” (National Review). But the problem for Fauci is, we have the actual video (Twitter). In the friendly confines of CNN, he didn’t have to worry about them pulling out the video.

New York Loses Most Senior Judge Over Vaccination Demand

From the story: Associate Court of Appeals Judge Jenny Rivera is the only state jurist out of a total of approximately 1,300 who declined the jab and failed to apply for a medical or religious waiver. The Columbia University School of Law graduate was barred from entering any court facilities — including her chambers — beginning Sept. 27 at 5 p.m. when the state Unified Court System’s vaccine mandate went into effect for all staffers.

NY Post

Biden Wants IRS to Watch Individual Checking Accounts

They want to monitor every penny that comes and goes, even through your ATM (WSJ). From Carol Liebau: The policy is supposed to reveal tax dodging by the wealthy. But banks are already required to report transactions of $10,000 or more. It’s hard to imagine how dropping the threshold all the way down to $600 is going to ensnare the rich. Instead, it will just allow vast data collection on everyone. And the IRS hasn’t shown it can be trusted (Townhall Review).

Business Insider Posts Fake News About President Trump

They got their story from a book but didn’t bother to check with Congressman Scalise himself. From Steve Scalise: This is how the fake news media machine against President Trump and @MELANIATRUMP works. This never happened. My family went to visit the White House while I was still in the hospital and were graciously given a tour by President and Mrs. Trump (Twitter).
