Many countries boast a rich horror movie tradition.
Think Great Britain with classic Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee thrillers or modern Japanese imports like “Ringu” and “Ju-On: The Grudge.”
One nation that doesn’t leap to mind? Poland, a nation where Communist rule <a href="https://culture.pl/en/article/oh-the-horror-polish-horror-movies-under-communism">stymied many, not all,</a> directors from embracing the genre.
“Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight,” just added to Netflix’s content library, hopes to change that state of affairs.
The Polish slasher film—how’s that for an oxymoron—is smarter than most grindhouse films and packs a number of legit shocks. Anyone hungry for memorable kills will see a few not easily forgotten.
Best of all? No woke messaging to take us out of the action. It’s pure horror goodness, assuming you’re not the squeamish sort. “Woods” is a bloody good time in more ways than one.
The story couldn’t be more simple. A group of screen-addicted teens must take a tech time out at a camp for digital addicts.
Enter the standard horror characters, from the nebbishy Julek (Michel Lupa) to the sexually aggressive Aniela (Wiktoria Gasiewska).
So far, so ordinary, although the opening prologue delivers a nasty jolt.
Director/co-writer Bartosz M. Kowalski’s film suggests this isn’t your average B-movie. The cinematography is sharp, arresting, and the performances are solid across the board. One early “kill,” in particular, is so unexpected you might literally gasp at its shock value.
Kowalski knows precisely what he’s doing.
There’s a menace in the woods threatening to turn the camp into a mass funeral, and it doesn’t take kindly to strangers. These screen-free teens don’t know what’s about to hit them.
Julia Wieniawa-Narkiewicz’s Zosia gets the most back story, letting her inner strength play out organically. The actress, an Instagram favorite with 1.8 million followers, is no Mary Sue.
Minor characters like an unsavory priest and a closeted gay teen suggest lectures are inevitable, but they never arrive.
“Woods” embraces plenty of horror movie tropes, from the oh, so familiar victims to how characters flee the pack to make them easier prey. There’s also an obligatory sex scene to check off “nudity” on the horror movie scorecard, as well as a few boneheaded decisions by the main characters.
It’s still enthralling, and the threats lurking in the woods look different than what we’ve seen before.
“Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight” isn’t a comedy, but the film packs a few yuks in the right places, including a very funny gag about some Hitler-loving souls.
The payoff to that gag is priceless.
Too many horror movies start slowly, forcing us to meet characters we’re eager to see erased. It’s both obligatory and annoying, but horror fans are patient as long as the killing kicks in eventually.
These Gen Z types aren’t lovable, but they feel three-dimensional enough to care when their blood splashes across the screen. Even the jock of the group shows more shading than expected.
The film drew a curious review from <a href="https://decider.com/2020/10/28/nobody-sleeps-in-the-woods-tonight-on-netflix-stream-it-or-skip-it/">left-leaning Decider.com</a>, which ultimately suggested horror fans skip these “Woods.” Criticism is subjective, of course, but this line speaks volumes: “It’s stylish but, unlike modern arthouse horror outings, it lacks any kind of resonant subtext.”
Yes, “Woods” doesn’t comment on race relations, income inequality, or other progressive tropes.
So what?
Some horror films expertly ladle on social commentary, like “Night of the Living Dead” or “Get Out.” Many of the best horror films simply scare us silly, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
“Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight” falls squarely in the latter camp.

On Thursday, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=16017">Campus Reform</a> released part one of a four-part video series in which reporter Jezzamine Wolk speaks with minority youth about why they have chosen to vote for President Trump in the 2020 election.
Jahmarri Green, a student at Friends University, told Wolk that in 2016, he was a “Bernie bro to the fullest.” Green noted that because he was surrounded by Democrats growing up, that was “the only way of thinking” available to him.
When asked why he has decided to support Trump this election, Green said that while Trump is “blunt”—specifically mentioning his Twitter account—the president has accomplished much. Green cited the prison reform bill, funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and low black unemployment prior to the pandemic as some of Trump’s achievements.
Seodam Kwak, a student at University of Utah, spoke about Trump’s economy:
<blockquote>The economy helping minorities. I mean, you see the African American unemployment rate being [an] all-time low, Hispanic unemployment rate being [at an] all-time low. Trump’s economic plans, after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, have definitely brought up our communities of color, our minority communities. It’s helped everyone.</blockquote>
Prison reform and the black unemployment rate were consistent themes among the interviewed youth.
Christopher Gaffrey, a student at Wayne State University, said that while some minorities “have the ideals of a conservative,” they have “been told and conditioned” throughout their lives that “‘conservative’ is a taboo word.”
Gaffrey added that he believes Trump is a “good-hearted person” who, despite his “flaws,” is doing his best to “make American great again.”
When asked about those who claim that the president is a racist, Gerrin Alexander from University of Chicago said that “things are taken out of context,” and then seemingly blown out of proportion.
Gaffrey added:
<blockquote>When they say, “Well, he said that Mexicans are [rapists].” No, he did not say Mexicans are rapists. He said that there are some who are coming across here and doing bad things, such as raping or bringing drugs. He never said “all.”</blockquote>

Young voters, especially young minority voters, have typically voted Democrat in presidential elections going back many years.
According to the National Election Pool Exit Poll cited by the <a href="https://circle.tufts.edu/latest-research/election-night-2016-24-million-youth-voted-most-rejected-trump">Center for Information &amp; Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts</a> (CIRCLE), 83% of young black voters voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 while only 9% voted for Donald Trump. In 2012, the numbers were 91% and 8%, respectively, for Democrat incumbent Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Pew Research, which uses different metrics, <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/08/09/an-examination-of-the-2016-electorate-based-on-validated-voters/">reported</a> that 91% of black voters overall said they voted for Clinton while only 6% said they voted for Trump.
The Hispanic vote, while more diverse, is still largely held by Democrats. According to Pew, 66% of Hispanic voters chose Clinton while 28% chose Trump.
As for 2020, <a href="https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/320903/black-turnout-2020-election.aspx">Gallup notes</a> that black support for President Trump appears slightly higher this year than in 2016, writing: “Gallup&#8217;s aggregated data from polls conducted July 30-Aug. 12 and Aug. 31-Sept. 13 show Trump approval – a rough surrogate for likelihood to vote for Trump – at 11% among Black Americans, with disapproval at 87%.”

A manhunt is underway for an unknown assailant who fled after shooting a Greek Orthodox priest in the abdomen with a sawed-off shotgun as he was closing his church Saturday in Lyon, France.
Nikolas Kakavelakis, a 45-year-old Greek citizen and father of two, is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after being shot twice, according to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/international-news-lyon-shootings-france-nice-a0375384e5941c692e066fe3f6c1e295" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Associated Press</a>. An anonymous public official told the AP that the attacker was alone.
“We are anxious and anguished. It’s really horrible,” said Antoine Callot, the pastor of a neighboring Greek Orthodox church in Lyon. “Now we need to hide and be careful.”
Law enforcement swarmed the area and cordoned off a region around the church in an attempt to apprehend the attacker, whose motive remained unknown. They reportedly detained a man who matches a description of the suspect, but have yet to determine his identity, according to the Lyon prosecutor.
Lyon made <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/turks-azeris-lyon-france-armenians-vienne-video-b1422175.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">headlines</a> earlier this week when demonstrators, reportedly of Turkish and Azerbaijani origin, marched through the streets allegedly looking for Armenians while waving the Turkish flag and shouting, &#8220;Allahu Akbar!&#8221;

The incident is the latest example of unrest to have roiled France since a teacher was beheaded last week after showing his students a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad. Following the murder of three people in a basilica in Nice, France, French President Emmanuel Macron declared that France was &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/france-knife-attack-church-terrorism-suspected" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">under attack,</a>&#8221; and increased military presence around schools and religious sites.
Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said in response to the attacks: &#8220;We have two people killed inside the church … and a third person who was in a bar facing the church where she had taken refuge. Enough is enough … we have to remove this Islamo-fascism from our territory.&#8221;
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspected-terrorist-kills-three-in-french-church-attack-mayor-calls-to-purge-islamo-fascism" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Three people died in a knife-attack in Nice, France, on Thursday in what may be the third terror attack on French soil in about a month.
A man wielding a knife entered the Notre Dame Basilica in Nice and killed two people and fatally wounded a third who was able to escape outside the church before dying, according to French authorities. Police are treating the incident as an act of terrorism, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/two-people-killed-in-knife-attack-at-church-in-french-city-of-nice-11603963626?mod=hp_lead_pos7">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
“Everything leads us to believe it was a terrorist attack within the Notre Dame basilica,” Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said on Twitter.
Several French media outlets reported that at least one of the victims of the attack was beheaded, mirroring an attack earlier this month in which a French schoolteacher was beheaded by a suspected Islamic radical.
Police captured the attacker soon after the incident, shooting him in the shoulder and transporting him to a local hospital, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/29/one-person-killed-after-knife-attack-in-nice-france">The Guardian</a>. Estrosi said that while the man was being taken into custody, he repeatedly yelled “Allahu Akbar.”</blockquote>

For two years, all of America was wondering which anonymous senior Trump administration official wrote the New York Times op-ed claiming to be the “resistance” inside.
Then they found out it was a nobody bureaucrat. *cough*
The revelation came the same week that CNN president Jeff Zucker once again told his employees they need to play “<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/cnn-president-jeff-zucker-faces-what-might-be-his-last-lap-11603487817">error-free ball</a>” over the next few weeks. It is a phrase Zucker has used before, including <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stevenperlberg/cnn-on-edge-after-russia-resignations">back in 2017</a> after three CNN reporters resigned over a story involving then-White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci and a $10 billion Russian investment fund allegedly being investigated by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Far from being a “senior official,” as the Times suggested the author of the op-ed to be, Miles Taylor was merely a deputy chief of staff to the DHS secretary. A lofty position, sure, but far from someone with the ability to rein in President Donald Trump.
Zucker’s repeated demand that his employees play “error-free ball” comes at the same time that CNN said it would keep Taylor on as a contributor even though he lied to the network about his role in the op-ed. As The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-anonymous-author-is-cnn-contributor-google-employee-biden-supporter">reported</a>, Taylor lied on air to CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the op-ed. Cooper asked Taylor if he was aware of who wrote the op-ed, to which Taylor replied: “I’m not.” Cooper then asked Taylor directly if he was the author and Taylor said: “No.”
Taylor is a CNN contributor, and the network has told news outlets that he will continue to be a contributor despite lying on air.
Erik Wemple, The Washington Post’s media blogger, wrote <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/10/28/new-york-times-cnn-sullied-by-anonymous-charade/">an article</a> about how the revelation that Taylor wrote the anonymous article has “sullied” the Times and CNN.
“We asked CNN what it had to say about a contributor doing such a thing on air. A spokeswoman responded that he will remain a contributor — on the network that pillories Trump for lying, that sics a fact-checker on virtually every statement coming out of the White House, that has made a franchise out of ‘Facts First,’” Wemple wrote.
Wemple spent a lot of time discussing how regular readers wouldn’t find Taylor’s position to actually be “senior,” considering how people like CNN’s Chris Cillizza dreamed about who could have written the op-ed and made <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/05/politics/donald-trump-mystery-op-ed/index.html">a list</a> of actual senior-level officials like Kellyanne Conway and former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. Wemple, however, didn’t go into detail about how the Times’ framing of Taylor as a “senior” official harms the newspaper’s reputation. It makes it difficult to trust the paper’s other anonymous sources, which have already come under scrutiny in the Trump era as media outlets base scandalous stories on unnamed source. “People familiar with the matter” is a favored line these days, even though it’s utterly meaningless. Saying someone is a “senior” official makes reader’s believe this is a person probably close to the president.
Yet, now that we know “senior” can apply to any random bureaucrat, how are we supposed to believe the next anonymous source has real, pertinent information? And as to CNN, how are they going to play “error-free ball” if they keep on a contributor who lied to one of the network’s top anchors and its millions of viewers?

Comedian Bill Maher mocked Justice Amy Coney Barrett for her Catholicism again during his show on Friday, subjecting her to a recurring bit and calling her a &#8220;Mel Gibson&#8217;s dad Catholic.&#8221;
&#8220;She is making it almost a completely Catholic court, which I like to point out,&#8221; Maher said of the newly-confirmed justice. &#8220;And she&#8217;s not just a Catholic; she’s a &#8216;Mel Gibson&#8217;s dad&#8217; Catholic.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, this is like a court that looks like ‘The Da Vinci Code’ now,” Maher added, referencing the Dan Brown novel about the Catholic Church.
Maher went on to make Barrett the butt of a segment called &#8220;24 Things You Don&#8217;t Know About Me,&#8221; a parody of a regular feature in &#8220;Us Weekly.&#8221; Among the jokes Maher hurled Barrett&#8217;s way:
<blockquote>When my family plays Scrabble, we take out the letters L, G, B, T, and Q.
I won’t eat Chinese food because fortune cookies look like vaginas.
When I’m stressed out, I’ll eat a whole box of Eucharist.
I’m a classically trained liar.
My volleyball team was 10 and 3 against the other cults in our division.
I believe the Spanish Inquisition had fine people on both sides.
In college, I refused the title &#8220;magna cum laude&#8221; because it sounds dirty.
I&#8217;m looking forward to getting some real hands-on experience being a judge.</blockquote>

Barrett has been a recurring target for Maher, who has repeatedly painted the devout Catholic mother of seven as a religious radical and &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-maher-attacks-trumps-reported-scotus-pick-a-christian-mother-of-7-a-fing-nut" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a f***ing nut</a>.&#8221;

<blockquote>Comedian Bill Maher tore into Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Friday, describing her as “nuts” and whose Catholic faith should have been used against her by Senate Democrats.
“New rule: Democrats have to stop talking about packing the Supreme Court, because it’s already packed — with Catholics,” Maher said. He went on to criticize the fact that Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Sonia Sotomayor, and Neil Gorsuch all have Catholic backgrounds, though he noted Gorsuch later became an Episcopalian, which Maher described as “just a Catholic who flunked Latin.”
Maher lamented that if Barrett is confirmed, seven of the nine justices will be Roman Catholics, which he said he has “nothing against … except my entire upbringing.”
“If seven out of nine justices were Jews or Muslims or Buddhists, would that be okay?” Maher asked. “And if faith is this super-important element of life, as Barrett and her Republican supporters say it is, shouldn’t we have a healthier balance on our highest court?”
Maher pointed out that the religiously unaffiliated are the nation’s <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/08/why-americas-nones-dont-identify-with-a-religion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fastest-growing demographic</a> and questioned why, given that statistic, there are not more atheists and agnostics on the Supreme Court.
“Atheists actually make better judges because we don’t have to work to separate church and state,” Maher argued. Referencing the Bible, he added, “We’re not torn between rational decision-making and what it says in the old book of Jewish fairy tales.”</blockquote>

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Friday that he anticipates the legislative branch will move forward with another coronavirus relief package at the beginning of next year, once the new Congress enters session.
“I think we need to take a careful, calculated decision about what more to do to deal with this coronavirus. We’re throwing money at the search for a vaccine — which is the wise thing to do. We probably need to do another package, certainly more modest than the $3 trillion Nancy Pelosi package,” McConnell <a href="https://hughhewitt.com/video/senate-majority-leader-mitch-mcconnell/">told</a> radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday. “I think that will be something we’ll need to do right at the beginning of the year.”
The Senate majority leader added that he wants to focus on several topics in potential legislation, including small businesses, hospitals, and K-12 and college education.
The latest coronavirus package has been under negotiation for months between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who initially entered the process with a mandate from House Democrats in the form of the $3.4 trillion Heroes Act. When it was passed, the Heroes Act received only one Republican vote, Congressman Pete King (R-NY), who <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/gop-rep-peter-king-says-he-has-no-choice-but-to-vote-for-democrats-3t-coronavirus-relief-bill">explained</a> to Fox News back in May he didn’t agree with a lot in the bill, but voted in favor of it because he felt New York had no choice.
Throughout the negotiation process, McConnell has not been involved, and according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/10/20/trump-economic-stimulus-pelosi/">The Washington Post</a>, warned Senate Republicans in mid-October that Pelosi was not engaging in good faith discussions with the Trump administration.
Earlier this week, Pelosi hinted that Democrats were indeed interested in pursuing a relief package deal after the election, even before January, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/29/pelosi-covid-deal-possible-before-january-433609">Politico</a>.
“Why would we be talking to them if we didn’t want a bill?” said Pelosi.
During his interview with the radio host, McConnell also affirmed his belief that Republicans have a 50-50 shot at retaining a majority in the Senate, a comment he said he’s been making “all year” because of the number of Republican-held seats at stake.
“We elected a lot of new Republican senators in 2014, and so now we have a lot of exposure,” he said. “I’ve actually been saying 50-50 for well over a year.”
McConnell also explained that he moved forward with the nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barrett after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg because the Constitution treats the Senate and president as “co-partners” for the sake of filling a vacancy on the court.
“It’s not surprising when you have a Senate of the same party as the president, there’s a lot more willingness to move and to move quickly, and that’s what we did with regard to the Ginsburg vacancy,” said McConnell, who called the appointment timeline, from nomination to confirmation, “well within the norm” from a historical standpoint.
“I’m glad we were able to do it before the election so the American people can weigh the consequences of handing the Senate over to the hard Left, which is what the Democratic Party is these days,” said the majority leader.

After successfully holding a confirmation vote on President Donald Trump’s third Supreme Court nominee earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took a moment to jab at 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who turned 73 on the day that Justice Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed.
“It was a wonderful birthday present for Hillary Clinton to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court Monday night on her birthday,” McConnell told supporters on Wednesday during a campaign stop in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/mcconnell-acb-confirmation-wonderful-birthday-present-for-hillary-clinton/">the New York Post</a>. “Oh, I’m sure she was so grateful, so grateful.”
Clinton’s birthday has become an annual commemoration of sorts online, and an opportunity to recirculate the former Democratic nominee’s infamous 2016 “birthday” tweet, which featured a photo of herself as a little girl and contained a caption that read: “Happy birthday to this future president.”
She’s also never deleted the tweet.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

After Barrett was confirmed on Monday evening, the House Judiciary GOP also sent out a birthday tweet to Clinton, saying: “Amy Coney Barrett, confirmed. Happy Birthday, @HillaryClinton!” Shortly thereafter, Clinton tweeted: “Senate Republicans just pushed through a Supreme Court justice who will help them take away Americans’ health care in the middle of a pandemic. For them, this is victory. Vote them out.”

Barrett, the fifth female justice ever to serve on the nation’s highest court, was nominated to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in mid-September following a battle with cancer.
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/25/us/politics/rbg-retirement-obama.html">The New York Times</a>, top Democrats during the Obama administration, including former President Barack Obama himself, twice tried to nudge Ginsburg toward retirement, but were ultimately unsuccessful and dropped the topic.
Barrett was sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas during a ceremony at the White House on Monday evening, and vowed to execute her duties “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barretts-speech-after-swearing-in-i-will-do-my-job-without-any-fear-or-favor">without any fear or favor</a>.”
&#8220;It’s a privilege to be asked to serve my country in this office, and I stand here tonight truly honored and humbled. Thanks also to the Senate for giving its consent to my appointment. I am grateful for the confidence you have expressed in me, and I pledge to you and to the American people that I will discharge my duties to the very best of my ability,&#8221; said Barrett.
“It is your Constitution that establishes the rule of law and the judicial independence that is so central to it. The oath that I have solemnly taken tonight means at its core that I will do my job without any fear or favor, and that I will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences. I love the Constitution and the democratic republic that it establishes, and I will devote myself to preserving it,” she later said.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) took a second alleged Hunter Biden laptop into custody after agents raided the office of a former celebrity psychiatrist in February.
Two sources familiar with the situation told NBC News that DEA agents found a second laptop purportedly belonging to Biden during a raid on the offices of former psychiatrist Keith Ablow.
According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/here-s-what-happened-when-nbc-news-tried-report-alleged-n1245533">NBC News</a>:
<blockquote>If [Biden] did leave the machine in Delaware, it would have marked at least the second time he has left behind a laptop.
According to two people familiar with the matter, a different Hunter Biden laptop landed in the custody of the DEA in February when they executed a search warrant on the Massachusetts office of a psychiatrist accused of professional misconduct. <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/feds-raid-office-of-former-celebrity-psychiatrist-keith-ablow/2076481/">The psychiatrist has not been charged with a crime.</a>
Hunter Biden was not a target of the search or the investigation, and his lawyer ultimately got his laptop back. It’s not clear why his computer was left in the doctor’s office.</blockquote>
Ablow’s medical license was suspended after he faced accusations of sexually exploiting his patients and illegally diverting prescription drugs. Ablow has not been charged with a crime.
The laptop that was reportedly in the hands of the DEA is the second alleged Biden laptop suspected to have been in the hands of federal agents. The first was allegedly dropped off by Biden at a Delaware computer repair shop in April 2019. When no one came back to pick it up, the shop owner took possession and eventually turned the laptop over to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-has-possession-of-hunter-bidens-laptop-report-says">FBI</a> at the end of the year.
The computer store owner turned over a copy of the hard drive of Biden’s alleged laptop over to Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer. Batches of emails, verified by <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/29/cybersecurity-expert-authenticates-hunter-biden-burisma-email/">The Daily Caller News Foundation</a> on Thursday, allegedly from the laptop, were first published by the New York Post. Another number of emails and documents came from a batch turned over by Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Biden, to congressional investigators.
Bobulinski has accused Biden’s father, Democratic nominee Joe Biden, of knowing about and, in at least one case, attempting to personally benefit from Hunter’s foreign business deals. The former vice president has denied Bobulinski’s allegations, though he has not challenged the veracity of the emails published in the press from Hunter’s alleged laptop.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-business-partner-a-pro-democrat-navy-veteran-hunter-asked-dad-to-sign-off-on-deals">Bobulinski</a> said in a statement:
<blockquote>What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to “the Big Guy” in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other “JB” referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother.
Hunter Biden called his dad “the Big Guy” or “my Chairman,” and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.</blockquote>

President Donald Trump is not the first president to be hated by a large segment of the American population. In more recent times, there was considerable hate for President Ronald Reagan. Even though the Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O&#8217;Neill and Reagan were polar opposites in their politics, they could be friends. Once, when Reagan confronted O&#8217;Neill about nasty things that he said about him in a newspaper, O&#8217;Neill replied, &#8220;That&#8217;s just politics, after 6 o&#8217;clock we&#8217;re buddies — we&#8217;re friends.&#8221; Politics today has become something not seen in our history. The true tragedy is that many Americans have bought into the hate, destructiveness and plain nastiness and are seemingly ignorant or uncaring about its long-term consequences for our nation.
Democrats say that if they win the presidency, they would increase the size of the U.S. Supreme Court by appointing justices who would do their bidding — packing the court. One wonders whether they think that a future Republican president would simply ignore what they have done. I doubt it. A future Republican president would resort to the same tactic and appoint justices that would do his bidding. The U.S. Supreme Court would become no less than a super-legislature, subject to the will of politicians.
Last June, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill in favor of D.C. statehood. The measure was dead on arrival at the Republican-controlled Senate. But should Joe Biden win the presidency and bring with him majorities in the House and Senate, he would make statehood for D.C. — and Puerto Rico — a political priority. That would give the Democrats four more seats in the U.S. Senate, therefore guaranteeing them a solid majority. But would Republicans accept that without a response? What about splitting up strong Republican states, such as Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. For example, create a West Oklahoma and East Oklahoma or a North Utah and South Utah. That would give the Republicans four additional senators thereby offsetting the new Democratic senators.
You say, &#8220;Williams, dividing up states to get greater representation in the House of Representatives and the Senate would violate the Constitution.&#8221; The fact of the matter is that making Washington, D.C., a state would violate the Constitution. Article I, Section 8, clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution provides explicitly for a national capital that would not be part of a state nor treated as a state, but rather a jurisdiction under the exclusive authority of Congress, a neutral &#8220;district&#8221; in which representatives of all the states could meet on an equal footing to conduct the nation&#8217;s business.
So, far as dividing up states, Article IV of our Constitution, in part, says, &#8220;but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.&#8221;
By the way, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln, who claimed that he was fighting against secession, violated the U.S. Constitution when he proclaimed the admission of West Virginia into the Union. The Virginia state legislature did not vote to support West Virginia&#8217;s secession from Virginia.
The bottom-line question is whether our nation can survive the divisions that we see today. Too many people want to blame it all on Trump. How much blame can be put on Trump for the riots, looting and, as Axios estimated, the close to $2 billion in losses from property destruction? What about the murder and shooting of civilians and law enforcement officers? What about the tearing down of monuments, not only those of Confederate generals but of Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and abolitionist Frederick Douglass?
Perhaps the most tragic aspect of today&#8217;s division is that much of it is a byproduct of our education system where young people are taught to hate our nation&#8217;s founders and founding principles. However, it is these principles, though practiced imperfectly, that have created the freest and richest nation in mankind&#8217;s history. The question is if our nation can survive the widespread anti-Trump hate.

Actor Sacha Baron Cohen reportedly donated $100,000 to the church of the unemployed Christian grandmother who unwittingly starred in his recent &#8220;Borat&#8221; sequel.
Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in Oklahoma City received the sizable donation earlier this week, the church&#8217;s Rev. Derrick Scobey said, according to <a href="https://oklahoman.com/article/5675065/update-sacha-baron-cohen-gives-100k-to-okc-church" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Oklahoman</a>. Jeanise Jones, 62, was chosen by the producers of &#8220;Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm&#8221; to play a babysitter after they came to the church seeking &#8220;elderly black women&#8221; who had &#8220;grandmotherly&#8221; qualities.
Jones received only $3,600 for her role in the film, which she had been led to believe was a foreign documentary instead of a mockumentary comedy. The film, which premiered Oct. 23 on Amazon Prime, follows Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen) as he attempts to sell off his 15-year-old daughter Tutar (Maria Bakalova) to an older man. Jones is hired to babysit Tutar, who is introduced to her wearing a ball-and-chain and using a dog’s water bowl.
Jones, a mother of three and grandmother of six, received kudos from audiences for unintentionally becoming the “moral compass” of the film by showing kindness to Tutar, who she believed was in distress and for whom her church prayed regularly, according to an interview with <a href="https://www.showbiz411.com/2020/10/26/exclusive-borat-star-jeanise-jones-unemployed-grandmother-was-paid-just-3600-to-be-in-documentary-she-thought-would-never-be-seen-in-u-s?fbclid=IwAR1Ot5KNnFLmp4TWBzlOGLU86RHthvIYDv_deh9H45EYDq-KsebilzJ5fLI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Showbiz 411</a>.
“I totally believed she was 15 and that he had left her there with me,” Jones said regarding Bakalova&#8217;s character. “She told me she was being groomed to be Donald Trump’s mistress if she didn’t find another rich husband. She had to find a rich husband to save her father. I believed her, she was good.”
Jones racked up more than $160,000 herself as of Saturday, after Scobey started a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/jeanise-jones-borat-movie" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoFundMe</a> for her after the film&#8217;s release earlier this week. &#8220;It is amazing. I would never expect nothing like this,&#8221; she said of the windfall. &#8220;It&#8217;s blowing my mind.&#8221; The film&#8217;s producers and Cohen himself called her earlier this week, she said, a phone call she described as &#8220;enlightening.&#8221;
Scobey wrote in part on Jones&#8217; GoFundMe:
<blockquote>She was recruited from our church the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Oklahoma City after Producers spoke to me about needing a “Black Grandmother” for a small role in a “documentary.” Jeanise emerged as that person and she was completely unaware that this was a comedy, and all of this was made up. We have been praying for the young lady in the movie because we all genuinely thought she was in trouble. The joke is on us/Jeanise and that’s no problem. Many of you have reached from around the world to say thank you, so I thought it would be great to give people a vehicle to say thank you in a tangible way, She wasn’t paid much money at all for her role in this movie.
This was not scripted for Jeanise. It all came from the heart. She is one of the most authentic people I’ve ever met. One good thing that has come from this is that Jeanise doesn’t have to worry about “Tutar” anymore. She has WORRIED about this young lady for a year.</blockquote>

NBC News this week published a “breaking news” article purportedly showing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s family abusing their position.
The article was based off of emails released through a Freedom of Information Act request and show nothing actually objectionable. In one email, Pompeo’s son Nick thanked staff at the State Department for giving him a tour of the Department’s Diplomacy Center. In another email, Pompeo’s wife, Susan, asks the Secretary of State Protective Division for updates on repairs to her family’s HVAC system, porch, and stairs.
NBC tried to accuse the family of some kind of corruption, beginning the article:
<blockquote>Less than three months after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was sworn in, his son, Nick, reached out to thank State Department officials for a private tour they had given him and his mother, Susan Pompeo, of the agency&#8217;s in-house museum.
&#8220;I also want to reinforce my willingness to help your mission in any way I can,&#8221; Nick Pompeo wrote. &#8220;We view this as a family endeavor, so if you think there is any place I can add value, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out.&#8221;
He also had an ask: Could he or the software company for which he was a sales executive be involved in a coming &#8220;data hackathon&#8221; event the State Department was planning? In an email, he asked for details about dates, times, volunteer opportunities and &#8220;how I or anyone at my company could help.&#8221;</blockquote>
The hackathon was an educational event and Nick Pompeo’s company didn’t participate, yet NBC used the example to claim “the Pompeos have repeatedly blurred the lines between official government business and domestic or personal matters.”
None of the emails mentioned by NBC show any wrongdoing. Susan Pompeo, who is not a State Department employee, uses her personal email address to discuss travel plans and restaurant reservations with State Department officials. NBC tried to paint Susan’s requests to the Diplomatic Security Service for information about home repairs as an abuse of power, yet Susan was told by Diplomatic Security to contact them before anyone outside of her family enters their home.
NBC noted in their story that “there are legitimate reasons that Diplomatic Security officials, whose mandate includes protecting the secretary, might be kept in the loop about workers who need access to his home.”
Further, a State Department spokesperson told the outlet, “Mrs. Pompeo has been directed to contact Diplomatic Security before any non-family members come to their home.&#8221;
When NBC spoke to a third-party expert about the emails, a law and ethics professor at New York University, told the outlet that nothing in the emails seemed to violate ethics rules.
&#8220;There are certainly &#8216;optics&#8217; issues here. It can look like Pompeo is using the office to ingratiate himself with others, possibly future supporters in a 2024 White House race,&#8221; said the professor, Stephen Giller, adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t see that they used the office for financial gain.&#8221;
While NBC took pains to paint the Pompeos as corrupt, the outlet has ignored or downplayed a scandal involving Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Emails revealed Hunter saying his father would be part of any business deals are being ignored by the press, which calls them “unverified” even though people on the email chain have verified the documents.
Last week, NBC went so far as to publish a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbc-runs-decoy-story-about-document-relating-to-hunter-biden-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-the-laptop-emails">decoy story</a> discussing a document no one had ever heard of and that had nothing to do with the emails originally published by the New York Post.
NBC also published <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/here-s-what-happened-when-nbc-news-tried-report-alleged-n1245533">an article</a> claiming it tried to report on the Hunter Biden emails but ran into “obstacles.” The outlet claimed Fox News and the Wall Street Journal determined the allegations against Hunter were unfounded, but that is untrue. The outlets found no documentation that Biden was part of his son’s foreign dealings, yet a former business part of Hunter’s said it was made clear to him that Joe would not be formerly mentioned as part of the process.
NBC and other outlets also refuse to ask Joe or Hunter about the scandal.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has unveiled his latest attempt at economic relief for residents of the City of Angels amidst the coronavirus pandemic: Discounts for new parking tickets. 
Garcetti, a co-chair of the Biden campaign, rolled out the new initiative in a tweet on Friday evening, during which he advertised the idea as a form of “delivering assistance” to residents struggling with “economic hardship” amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The discount qualifies residents to $20 off their parking tickets. 
But in order to qualify for Garcetti&#8217;s pandemic discount, residents must pay off their parking tickets within 48 hours. 
“We&#8217;re delivering assistance to Angelenos facing economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting Monday, with our new Early Pay LA program, [Los Angeles Department of Transportation] will offer a $20 discount on parking citations paid within 48 hours,” tweeted Garcetti on Friday evening.

According to <a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/10/30/parking-ticket-discount/">CBS Los Angeles</a>, the discount can be applied to parking tickets received for expired permits “within preferential parking districts,” street sweeping citations and overnight or oversized parking citations, so long as they’re paid off in the 2-day timeframe. 
“In moments of crisis, we need to do all we can to support Angelenos while maintaining parking regulations that keep our streets safe and protect the quality of life of our neighborhoods,” Seleta Reynolds, general manager of the department of transportation, told the local news outlet. “Early Pay L.A. is one of several programs LADOT uses to reduce the financial burden of parking citations for our most vulnerable.”
Earlier this year, Garcetti was mocked for a tone-deaf tweet asking residents of Los Angeles to turn off their major appliances during a heat wave that caused parts of the city to reach 120 degrees, and to use a fan if they needed to cool down. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In late 2018, shortly after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) gave an impassioned speech about due process and why she was voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, a woman sent the senator a threatening letter.
Now that woman, 38-year-old Suzanne Muscara, has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/31/woman-gets-jail-time-for-threatening-letter-to-sen-susan-collins/">reported</a>. Muscara was convicted last November of mailing the threatening letter, which contained white powder and mentioned “anthrax.” Muscara mailed the letter to Collins’ home and claimed in court it was a joke.
“The missive was intercepted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at a mail sorting facility in Hampden on Oct. 17, 2018, less than two weeks after Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court,” the outlet reported. “The envelope contained a note with a stick figure drawing of the Maine Republican — with X’s for eyes and the tongue sticking out — along with the words ‘AnthRAX!!! HA HA HA!!!’ FBI tests showed that the white powder was harmless.”
Muscara’s letter was intercepted just two days after Collins’ husband, Tom Daffron, received a letter that claimed it contained ricin.
More from the Post:
<blockquote>Muscara was identified by a fingerprint and <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/04/08/police-nab-woman-who-sent-susan-collins-threatening-letter-over-kavanaugh-vote/">arrested in April 2019</a>.
Prosecutors said the Burlington woman was upset with Collins over one of her votes in the Senate.
Muscara told investigators she didn’t think her letter would be taken seriously. She has been jailed for two years already, time that counts toward her sentence.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker imposed the 30-month sentence on Muscara, who had faced up to 10 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Halsey Frank stressed that anthrax — a deadly substance — was no laughing matter.
“American politics is premised on free speech and vigorous debate,” Frank said. “True threats are not protected speech. They are a crime.”</blockquote>
Collins said in a statement that she and her husband were “grateful for the vigilance” of the postal workers who intercepted the letter and “the extraordinary professionalism and effective investigative work of state and federal law enforcement officers.”
This wasn’t the only time Collins received threats due to her senate votes. Months after Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court, Collins received threatening messages because she voted against impeaching President Donald Trump after Democrats failed to provide evidence the president should be removed. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kavanaugh-repeat-susan-collins-inundated-with-nasty-threatening-messages-over-impeachment-dumb-b">reported</a> on some of the threatening voicemails Collins received:
<blockquote>Male voice: “Wow, what a vile piece of garbage you are, Susan Collins. Sorry. But those of us with a brain in the United States, which is about more than half the country, see exactly what the President did. . . . I sure hope you didn’t breed. I sure hope you don’t have children or grandchildren, because their future is [expletive].”
Female voice: “You’re going to lose, Susan Collins. You’re going to lose. You’re just a little b— for Donald Trump. [Expletive] you.”
Female voice: “Why are you obstructing justice? Is it because you want to go to hell? Are you in some kind of satanic cult? I don’t understand why you’re doing the devil’s work. . . . Why are you so corrupt? Oh, right, because you’ve always been a stupid, dumb b—.”
Male voice: “You’re a half-pint little [expletive] cross-eyed [expletive] with a voice impediment. . . . You’re a disgrace—a disgrace—to this country, not just to the Senate, but to your country. You’re a traitor.” More profanity.</blockquote>
