Transgender inmates in California will now be housed according to their gender identity thanks to a new law signed Saturday by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). The law states that prison officers must privately ask inmates going through the intake process if they identify as transgender, nonbinary, or intersex. If the inmate indicates one of those identities, they will be allowed to request a move to the facility that houses their preferred gender.
There is a caveat to the new law, however. If the state has “management or security concerns,” it will provide a written explanation of why it denied an inmate the chance to be housed according to his or her gender identity. The inmate will be given a “meaningful opportunity” to object, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/prisons-gender-identity-california-gavin-newsom-archive-14cd954b06360d21349b77233318369e">reported</a>.
“The law says the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation cannot deny those requests solely because of inmates’ anatomy, sexual orientation or ‘a factor present’ among other inmates at the facility,” the outlet reported.
In addition to being housed with their gender identity, prison officers are also required to address the inmates according to their preferred pronouns and must search inmates “based on the search policy of their gender identity,” the AP reported.
This exception is not included because the state believes men will claim to be women in order to harm female inmates, but because it believes male inmates will attack biological women who identify as men.
State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who authored the bill signed by Newsom, said transgender people are the ones who are routinely victimized in prison.
“It’s just a false narrative about transgender people and about transgender women in particular that they’re somehow not really women and are just trying to scam their way into women’s bathrooms or facilities in order to do bad things,” Wiener told the AP. “Overwhelmingly the people who are being victimized are trans people.”
One inmate who identifies as a woman, Michelle Calvin, said during a news conference (Calvin called in) to claim they had been abused and disrespected for being a transgender woman.
“I’ve been in for 15 years. I’ve been through the abuse, I’ve been through the disrespect of staff not addressing me for who I am because I am a woman,” Calvin said.
California prison systems will have to be very careful when it comes to housing transgender inmates. In 2018, The Daily Wire’s Amanda Prestigiacomo <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/male-female-transgender-allowed-womans-prison-then-amanda-prestigiacomo">reported</a>, a “biologically male criminal who identifies as female and has yet to have reassignment surgery was allowed to stay in a women’s prison to serve his sentence.” The transgender inmate was then “accused of sexually assaulting or harassing four female prisoners.”
The Blaze <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/07/18/transgender-prisoner-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-four-women-inmates-in-united-kingdom/amp?__twitter_impression=true">reported</a> at the time:
<blockquote>The first assault allegedly occurred soon after White arrived at the high-security prison. The first victim claimed to have become friends with White before the attack.
Another prisoner alleged that White made inappropriate comments about oral sex to another inmate.
The third victim claimed White attacked her, and the fourth victim accused the transgender prisoner of kissing her on the neck.</blockquote>

The news media is ecstatic about how well Joe Biden did in tomorrow’s debate.
According to the New York Times, a former newspaper:
“Biden’s performance tomorrow was masterful as for ninety full minutes, against all expectations, he managed to stand on his feet and utter words so that one could only compare him to John F. Kennedy who also stood for ninety minutes and also uttered words. Donald Trump had spent much of the run-up to the contest making fun of the fact that the former Vice President has barely left his basement and has never been asked a difficult question, but all that so-called humor ended tomorrow when Biden absolutely crushed the bumptious incumbent by never once making the sort of gaffe in the future that he has repeatedly made in the past.”
CNN’s Brian Stelter was so impressed with Biden’s performance tomorrow that he had to go to bed early and sob with gratitude into his My Little Pony pillowcase.
In a private conversation with his dolly Buttercup, Stelter said, “Biden’s performance Tuesday was so spectacular, I just can’t wait for Monday to end so Tuesday can be here. Many people say that CNN is biased, or one-sided, or so intellectually corrupt that a living brain cell would die of toxic dishonesty if it even wandered by one of our studios, but no one of any political stripe could disagree that Biden delivered one of the greatest debate performances tomorrow that anyone could have imagined or is imagining right this moment.”
At NBC News, Chuck Todd could only shake his head in wonder at how well Biden did tomorrow. He said, “As everyone knows, I am an honest, straight-down-the-middle, take-no-sides journalist of the old school, but from my perspective on this Monday, I have to say Tuesday was a Biden triumph all around.”
Donald Trump called for Biden to be tested for drugs, but the Biden campaign said the drugs would’ve worn off by tomorrow when Biden won so that made no sense.

If the battle for Brett Kavanaugh gave us Lindsey 2.0, then get ready for Lindsey 3.0 for the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett.
Since news broke last week that President Trump and the Republicans would be moving to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg&#8217;s seat on the Supreme Court before the election, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has pulled no punches. Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News this past Sunday, Graham warned the Democrats will &#8220;try to destroy Judge Barrett at their own peril.&#8221;
With the passing of Ginsburg, accompanied by the fact that Democrats do not control the U.S. Senate, Graham emphasized that the Democrats are under &#8220;enormous pressure&#8221; to do anything and everything to stop Judge Barrett&#8217;s nomination from succeeding.
&#8220;Their base is going nuts, they&#8217;ve raised $300 million since the passing of Justice Ginsburg,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m being outraised 2 to 1, every Republican running in the Senate is being hit hard with all this money coming.&#8221;
When asked if the fight over Barrett&#8217;s nomination will be as painful as Justice Kavanaugh, Graham doubted it. As for the kind of tactics the Democrats plan to employ, Graham said it will only hurt the party in the end.
“The pressure on these people on the Democratic side is enormous. Look at what they’re saying about President Trump. Look at what they’re saying about Judge Barrett. She’s an incredibly capable, well-qualified judicial nominee, somebody you would expect the Republicans to nominate to the court,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The storylines about her religion are already starting. The one thing I can tell every American, we have a constitutional provision that prevents your religious choice being used against you if you’re nominated to the Supreme Court or any other position in the government. And that’s a good thing. So, I don’t know where it’s going to go.”
“But I know the amount of money coming in since the death of Justice Ginsburg tells me there’s a lot of energy out there to take out Judge Barrett,” Graham continued. “Help me and others, LindseyGraham.com. I hate to keep saying that, but just — the money is just overwhelming. The bottom line here is, they’re under a tremendous amount of pressure. But, after Kavanaugh — let me say this. After Kavanaugh, they try to destroy Judge Barrett at their own peril.”
<iframe title="Day of reckoning is coming, stay tuned: Graham on Russia probe origins" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fhA3RYnFhhY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Last week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly told Congressional Democrats on a call that “nothing is off the table” in stopping Ginsburg’s replacement. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) then warned of “dirty tricks” that might be up the Democrats’ sleeves.
“Already some of the same individuals who tried every conceivable dirty trick to obstruct Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh are lining up … to proclaim the third time will be the charm,” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schumer-mcconnell-speeches-set-tone-confirmation-battle-ruth-bader-ginsburg">McConnell said</a> on Monday. “The American people are about to witness an astonishing parade of misrepresentations about the past, misstatements about the present and more threats against our institutions from the same people, the same people who already have been saying for months … they want to pack the court.”

Liberals are throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Judge Amy Coney Barrett in the race to keep her off the Supreme Court. After an &#8220;anti-racist&#8221; author referred to her as a &#8220;white colonizer&#8221; for adopting two black children from Haiti, feminist journalist Christine Grimaldi of Rewire News Group claimed that Barrett is &#8220;weaponizing her white womanhood.&#8221;
In a series of angry tweets on Saturday, while Barrett was accepting her nomination to the Supreme Court, Grimaldi claimed that Barrett was actually using her black children as props to gain political points.
&#8220;This whole press conference is a display of Amy Coney Barrett weaponizing her white womanhood to grab whatever power managed to slip through the cracks in the Trump administration&#8217;s unrelenting misogyny,&#8221; tweeted Grimaldi.
&#8220;Trump and Barrett using her black children and child with down syndrome to score political points isn&#8217;t surprising, but it&#8217;s no less appalling,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;CNN keeps going on and on about Barrett&#8217;s family, as if that makes her qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, and a whopping three years as a Trump-appointed federal judge, as if that&#8217;s enough to qualify for a lifetime on the Supreme Court.&#8221;
As reported by <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2020/09/27/feminist-crank-runs-and-hides-after-tweet-acb-weaponizing-her-white">Newsbusters</a>, Grimaldi then put her tweets on &#8220;protected&#8221; status after severe online backlash.
&#8220;What would the hateful Left have Amy Coney Barrett do? Hide her black children? Only appear in public with her white, non-disabled children? These people are sick,&#8221; tweeted Rita Panahi. &#8220;Democrats/media should be careful coming for Amy Coney Barrett &amp; her family. Nothing energised the Trump base more than the insane attacks against Kavanaugh.&#8221;

&#8220;A woman being elevated to the highest echelon of the judiciary being evidence of runaway misogyny is one hell of a take,&#8221; one Twitter user commented.
&#8220;You missed the chance for the liberal trifecta by not mentioning she’s also personally responsible for killing the planet by having such a large family. I’m disappointed in you,&#8221; said another.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anti-racist-author-claims-white-colonizer-amy-coney-barrett-adopted-children-to-shield-herself-from-accusations-of-racism">reported</a>, “anti-racist” author and diversity consultant Ibram X. Kendi accused Barrett and her husband of being &#8220;white colonizers&#8221; that adopted &#8220;savage&#8221; black children in order to civilize them.
&#8220;Some White colonizers &#8216;adopted&#8217; Black children. They &#8216;civilized&#8217; these &#8216;savage&#8217; children in the &#8216;superior&#8217; ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity,&#8221; he tweeted.
&#8220;And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can&#8217;t be racist,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I’m challenging the idea that White parents of kids of color are inherently &#8216;not racist&#8217; and the bots completely change what I’m saying to &#8216;White parents of kids of color are inherently racist.&#8217; These live and fake bots are good at their propaganda.

Delaware State University refuted Democratic nominee Joe Biden&#8217;s claim that he &#8220;got started out&#8221; at the historically black college.
Back in October 2019, Biden made the claim at historic Wilson High School in Florence, founded in 1866 by the Freedmen’s Bureau for black children seeking an education.
“I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State — now, I don’t want to hear anything negative about Delaware State,” Biden <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EHWKRol0lA&amp;feature=youtu.be">told</a> the audience just before the South Carolina Democratic primary. “They’re my folks.”
But Carlos Holmes, director of news service for Delaware State, said Biden was never a student there, although he made appearances twice on campus for commencement speeches. The university is on of the nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
“Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” Holmes <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/sep/25/joe-bidens-claim-about-attending-historically-blac/">told</a> The Washington Times in an email. “However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree.”
The university, founded in 1891 as the State College for Colored Students, is about 40 miles south of the University of Delaware, where Biden graduated in 1965 with a double major in political science and history. In Biden’s 2007 memoir, “Promises to Keep,” he details his time at Archmere Academy, a private Catholic school in Clayton, Delaware, to his enrollment as a freshman at the University of Delaware, but never mentions Delaware State University.
He later studied at Syracuse University College of Law, where he failed a class after being accused of plagiarism.
Biden has previously said he was the first in his family to attend college and that his relatives were coal miners, but he later recanted both assertions.
The former vice president&#8217;s penchant for exaggerating his past re-emerged in February, when he told a tale about supposedly being arrested in the 1970s in South Africa as he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in prison.
Biden said he was arrested in Soweto, a suburb of Johannesburg, a city in the northeast of the country. But at the time, Mandela was being held on Robben Island, near Cape Town in the southwest part of the country.
The two sites are some 900 miles apart.
After The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html?0p19G=0038">called</a> into question Biden’s tale, journalists were unable to find any news reports or contemporaneous accounts mentioning an arrest. Biden was a U.S. senator at the time of his claimed arrest, which certainly would have made news.
“In at least three campaign appearances over the past two weeks, Joseph R. Biden Jr. has told a similar story as he tries to revive his campaign in states with more diverse voters. On a trip to South Africa years ago, he has said, he was arrested as he sought to visit Nelson Mandela in prison,” the Times reported in its piece.
“A check of available news accounts by The New York Times turned up no references to an arrest,&#8221; the paper said. Biden also never mentioned the arrest in his memoir.

So much of the current narrative driven by the Left insists that America is some “racist, fascist state” bent on oppressing many of its citizens in perpetuity. As a result, extremist notions championed by Antifa and BLM activists has gained tremendous traction in recent months. But when compared with actual state-sponsored brutality and oppression in places like China and elsewhere, this prevailing narrative is exposed as hyperbole. In reality, so much of the social unrest and virulent activism in our nation is a product of a staggering amount of moral and cognitive dissonance. Here are eight ongoing crises occurring around the world that are truly worthy of public outcry and condemnation.
1. Despotism in Belarus
The Left assails President Trump as some “fascist” with no real evidence outside of hysterics. Alexander Lukashenko, however, is very much a dictator since taking over Belarus in 1994 and is wholly deserving of international censure.
“After he won election,” The <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/belarus-protests-alexander-lukashenko-faces-democratic-uprising/">National Review</a> details, “he quickly turned Belarus — which had enjoyed democracy for a scant three years — into a personal fief. He took control of the courts, the banks, the universities, and so on. The Belarusian intelligence agency works for him, strictly. Charmingly, it is the only such agency in the post–Soviet Union to retain the old name: ‘KGB.’”
Often referred to as “the last dictator in Europe,” Lukashenko considers democracy “hare-brained” and continues to quell it at every opportunity.
Writing for <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/international/518121-russian-forces-are-now-in-belarus">The Hill</a>, Frederick Kagan adds: “There is no doubt that Lukashenko is a dictator. He stole the most recent election, he suppressed peaceful protesters, and expelled or imprisoned opposition leaders.”
Lukashenko’s barbarism is most evident against his own people who have risen in opposition by the thousands in legitimate protest against the dictator.
The <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53773534">BBC reports</a> that detained protestors were “lying on the floor of a detention centre, piled on top of each other, in a pool of blood and excrement. They were not allowed to use the toilet for hours on end or even change position.”
2. The ongoing genocide in China
In a bold and courageous move, the Trump administration is considering a formal declaration of genocide as China’s Marxist regime continues to commit untold atrocities against the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/china-forces-imprisoned-uighurs-to-work-in-factories-for-apple-nike-amid-coronavirus-crisis">Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang</a>.
In a statement given to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/trump-administration-chinas-oppression-uighur-muslims-genocide-report">Fox News</a>, the White House National Security Council presented its case in no uncertain terms:
“Beijing’s atrocities against the Uighurs include horrific acts against women including forced abortion, forced sterilization and other coercive birth control methods, state-sponsored forced labor, sexual violence including through rape in detention, compulsory home-stays by Han officials, and forced marriages…The Chinese Communist Party’s atrocities also include the largest incarceration of an ethnic minority since World War II.”
The situation remains dire and is fast beginning to echo atrocities of the past as “More than a million Uighurs are believed to be held” in concentration camps, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/25/trump-administration-china-genocide-uighurs-401581">Politico</a>:
“White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien has <a href="https://www.voanews.com/usa/us-security-adviser-decries-world-silence-china-camps">accused</a> China’s communist leaders of running  ‘concentration camps’ for Uighurs in Xinjiang, a northwestern province home to millions of Uighurs. A member of a United Nations human rights panel said in 2018 that China had ‘turned the Uighur autonomous region into something that resembles a massive internment camp,’ where people are held without charge and little recourse to get legal representation to be released.”
The Chinese regime continues to deny any wrongdoing as an avalanche of evidence mounts against them and as the genocide continues virtually unabated. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/24/china-has-built-380-internment-camps-in-xinjiang-study-finds?CMP=oth_b-aplnews_d-1">The Guardian</a> recently reported, “China has built nearly 400 internment camps in Xinjiang region.”
Meanwhile, many on the Left including the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/khan-hypocrisy-on-china-haunts-nbas-woke-restart">NBA</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/toto-ask-no-questions-shows-horrors-of-communist-china-lebron-james-should-take-notice">Hollywood</a> remain silent on the atrocities and continue to do the biddings of the Chinese government while accusing America of imagined crimes such as systemic racism and “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/khan-a-closer-look-at-the-lefts-flawed-white-privilege-narrative">white privilege</a>.”
3. Slavery in parts of Africa
Far from being some pockmark of the past, slavery continues to exist in many parts of the world. It remains most prevalent in parts of Africa, with some Arab states close behind.
“Slavery was especially prevalent in Eritrea and Mauritania,” <a href="https://qz.com/africa/1333946/global-slavery-index-africa-has-the-highest-rate-of-modern-day-slavery-in-the-world/">Quartz</a> reported, “where slavery has even been, at times, an institutionalized practice. In Eritrea, for instance, the one-party state of president Isaias Afwerki has overseen a notorious national conscription service accused of drafting citizens for an indefinite period, contributing to the wave of refugees <a href="https://qz.com/1215813/photos-eritrea-and-sudan-migrants-paint-faces-white-to-protest-rwanda-deportation/">fleeing the country</a>. Workers that have claimed that they were <a href="https://qz.com/794955/eritrean-workers-are-suing-nevsun-resources-a-canadian-mining-company-for-using-them-as-forced-labor/">forced to work</a> in the nation’s first modern mine are also <a href="https://qz.com/803732/eritrean-forced-labor-workers-will-be-able-to-sue-canadas-nevsun-mining-company-in-british-columbia-court/">currently suing</a> the Vancouver-based mining company Nevsun that owns a majority stake in the mine.”
Slavery is most commonplace in Mauritania where it has yet to be abolished and where “slave status” is often “inherited.”
Globally, slavery remains a profound crisis, according to <a href="https://time.com/longform/african-slave-trade/">Time</a>, and not some “relic of history.” In fact, “there are more than three times as many people in forced servitude today as were captured and sold during the 350-year span of the transatlantic slave trade.” Slavery also continues to be a highly profitable endeavor in the underworld, “earning criminal networks $150 billion a year.”
4. The humanitarian crisis in Yemen
As a Saudi-led coalition continues to besiege Yemen due, in part, to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemeni_Civil_War_(2014%E2%80%93present)">country’s ongoing civil war</a>, a staggering humanitarian crisis has emerged:
“[S]ince the start of the year,” <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/06/1065292">UN News</a> reports, “some 80,000 more people were forced from their homes, bringing the total displaced to almost four million; cholera continues to threaten lives with 110,000 people contracting it so far this year; and recent floods have raised the risk of malaria and dengue fever.”
Even more tragic, 85,000 children and counting have now died from starvation as the Saudi-led coalition has “strangled civilian access to food, fuel, aid and commercial goods,” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/21/yemen-young-children-dead-starvation-disease-save-the-children">The Guardian</a> reported in late 2018.
5. The end of freedom in Hong Kong
Protesters in Hong Kong continue to struggle for the very freedom the Left takes for granted here in our nation under the oppressive onslaught of the Chinese regime. According to <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hong-kong-freedom">City Journal</a>, hope remains at a premium:
“Beijing has now acted to impose a new security law on Hong Kong, turning its back on the ‘one country, two systems’ agreement to which it had committed when the former British colony returned to Chinese control in 1997. Hong Kong will be subject to the same sort of draconian infringements on liberty as mainland China, following a year of street protests demanding just the opposite.”
China’s despotic will against the people of Hong Kong now means an end to “free markets and individual liberties.” The erosion of freedoms set to ensue also includes severe restrictions on “churches, synagogues, museums, charities, and independent private schools.”
The <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/hong-kong-protesters-fight-for-ideals-that-built-civilization/">National Review</a> doesn’t mince words when discussing the current dire state of affairs in Hong Kong:
“China’s goal is to emphatically crush all dissent and any hint of free speech in Hong Kong. It even seeks to muzzle companies in the West that do business with China and Hong Kong. In other words, Hong Kong’s Western-style freedoms and institutions are coming to an end.”
6. The collapse of Syria
Almost a decade of civil war has decimated Syria. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/index/country/syria?version=145">The Heritage Foundation</a> offers a brief overview of Bashar al-Assad’s inglorious rise to power as well as the consequences of the war:
“The Assad family has ruled Syria since Hafez al-Assad’s military coup in 1970. Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000 but failed to keep his promises to open the socialist economy and ease political repression. A brutal crackdown after 2011’s Arab Spring protests sparked an armed uprising against Assad that by 2012 had become a sectarian civil war between the predominantly Sunni rebels and the Alawite-dominated regime. Assad’s regime, supported by Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah, has largely defeated the fractured armed opposition. The conflict has killed more than 500,000 Syrians and driven nearly 5.5 million refugees out of the country. Syria’s economy declined by more than 70 percent from 2010 to 2017.”
While the brutal civil war is all but over, a hard and treacherous road lies ahead for the Syrian people under Bashar al-Assad including a collapsed economy and a country in ruins.
“President Bashar al-Assad, who has mostly won Syria’s civil war,” according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/world/middleeast/syria-economy-assad-makhlouf.html">The New York Times</a>, “now faces an acute economic crisis that has impoverished his people, brought about the collapse of the currency and fueled a rare public rift in the ruling elite.”
The authoritarian grip al-Assad relied upon to crush his opposition is proving ineffectual in the face of Syria’s economic woes now that “he cannot bomb his way out” of the crisis. Worse, “[a]n estimated 80 percent of Syrians live in poverty” only adding to the very real potential of Syria becoming a failed state.
7. The emergence of alleged concentration camps in Tibet
Tibet’s long and arduous struggle for independence from China is <a href="https://time.com/longform/dalai-lama-60-year-exile/">well-documented</a>. <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/xi-orders-increased-tibet-repression-to-fight-splittism/">The National Review</a> provides a concise summary:
“Tibet has been under this hegemonic boot since China invaded the country in 1950. But despite decades of repression, Tibetan Buddhism has not yet yielded to its own destruction, and indeed, the country continues to resist the occupiers. Now, the tyrant Xi Jinping has ordered his brutalizing forces to redouble their efforts to crush the supposed Buddhist threat…”
Now allegations have emerged that China’s Marxist regime is forcing Tibetans into concentration camps in a manner identical to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, as detailed by <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/china-forces-500-000-tibetans-into-labour-camps-20200922-p55xyk.html">The Sydney Morning Herald</a>:
“New evidence suggests the Chinese government now has a large-scale mandatory ‘vocational training’ program in Tibet, pushing more than 500,000 rural labourers into recently built military-style training centres in the first seven months of this year alone.”
The evidence also includes “enforced indoctrination, intrusive surveillance, and harsh punishments” against the Tibetan people.
8. Venezuela continues to implode under Socialist rule
Venezuela embodies the failures of socialism to a fatiguing degree. Corruption is legion and the economy continues to plummet with seemingly no end in sight. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/index/country/venezuela?version=1022">The Heritage Foundation</a> reports:
“Venezuela’s modern democratic era lasted from the end of military rule in 1959 until the election of Hugo Chávez in 1999. His successor, Nicolás Maduro, completed the destruction of democratic institutions and established a repressive authoritarian dictatorship in 2017. The deeply corrupt socialist government’s policies have caused hyperinflation and severe shortages of basic goods that have led to one of the worst economic contractions in history and Latin America’s worst migration crisis.”
Most recently, Maduro has now defined anyone with possible exposure to COVID-19 a “bioterrorist,” according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/19/world/americas/coronavirus-venezuela.html">The New York Times</a>, and is wielding his oppressive might “by deploying his repressive security apparatus” against his own people in some vain, draconian attempt to combat the novel virus.
“In commandeered hotels, disused schools and cordoned-off bus stations,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/19/world/americas/coronavirus-venezuela.html">The New York Times</a> reports, “Venezuelans returning home from other countries in Latin America are being forced into crowded rooms with limited food, water or masks. And they are being held under military guard for weeks or months for coronavirus tests or treatment with unproven medications, according to interviews with the detainees, videos they have taken on their cellphones and government documents.”

After rocketing to political stardom, Rep. Ilhan Omar has been cemented as one of the faces of American “progressivism.” The first-term congresswoman from Minnesota, alongside her fellow “squad” members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Rep. Ayanna Pressely, is one of the most prominent voices in favor of the array of radical policies demanded by the increasingly radical Left. For Omar, healthcare is a human right. Housing is a human right. Higher education is a human right. She has also been provided with unquestionable authority by an adoring mainstream media, and even famously appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone alongside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The title read “Women Shaping the Future.”
Ilhan Omar is a public figure, and a rising star in her own party at that. Therefore, she is fair game for criticism. Moreover, given her outsized authority within the radical wing of the Democratic Party, she is fair game for targeted criticism from President Donald Trump. However, Trump’s methods of attack against Omar have at times been not only misdirected, they’re handing Omar the opportunity to avoid legitimate criticism under the banner of claiming victimhood.
Last year, Trump sparked outrage when he criticized the “squad” on Twitter, suggesting that they “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
&#8230;.it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
More recently, Trump referenced the “where you came from” trope while speaking to supporters in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. “She’s telling us how to run our country.” ‘’
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
President Donald Trump on Tuesday night launched into a racist diatribe against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), saying this isn’t her country and mocking her birthplace.

&mdash; HuffPost UK (@HuffPostUK) <a href="https://twitter.com/HuffPostUK/status/1308768920598446080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Omar&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1308579169081540608">response</a> began with “Firstly, this is my country &amp; I am a member of the House that impeached you.” She is correct.
Trump’s line of attack is misguided for three reasons. First, Ilhan Omar is a United States citizen, and has been for 20 years. Indeed, Omar has been a U.S. citizen longer than the First Lady, with Melania Trump obtaining citizenship in July 2006. However, whether you’ve been a citizen for 50 years or 30 minutes, citizenship of the United States is a binary status. To treat someone’s views as invalid because they were not born in the United States is, by definition, xenophobic. To treat someone’s citizenship as invalid because they were not born in the United States is, by definition, un-American.
Secondly, the “go back where you came from” argument is unnecessarily providing Trump critics with another opportunity to claim he&#8217;s &#8220;racist.&#8221; While some will argue that it’s valid to request that those who advocate for political systems respect the fact that they have failed elsewhere, that is simply not what Trump is saying. Telling United States citizens elected to the House of Representatives to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” or that “she’s telling us how to run our country” makes their supposed “foreign home” the target of criticism, and not their ideas.
Lastly, and most importantly, Trump’s strategy provides Omar with the ability to continue spewing hateful, bigoted, and ideologically immoral nonsense. By focusing on Omar as an immigrant, he makes it easy for the Left to — understandably — defend Omar as victim. He also makes it easy for Omar to stand on the platform of intersectionality and use her authority as a “black Muslim woman” to reject Trump’s rhetoric as bigoted on its face. 
Instead, Trump should be focusing on what makes Omar truly objectionable — her views. Criticize her for the radical socialist policies she promotes, which are based on an ideology of greed, entitlement, and an ignorance of history and reality. Criticize her rampant and shameless obsession with spewing anti-Semitic tropes that fuel the rising rate of anti-Semitic attacks across the United States. Criticize her leadership and the leadership of her fellow Democrats, which has left the city of Minnesota in ashes.
Omar&#8217;s ideological positions are so abjectly appalling that there is a wide range of legitimate criticisms about her which can be made. Where she “comes from” is not one of them. What matters is what she says and what she thinks. Somalia could be a shining paradise, and she would still be a terrorist-defending, anti-Semitic socialist whose policies will drag the United States — her country — into an abyss of misery.

Social distance. Flatten the curve. Quarantine. Wear a mask. Lockdown. Bubble.
Six phrases and words that would have made zero sense six months ago. Now, we hardly hold a conversation without using every last one. The only thing spreading faster than coronavirus are conversations about coronavirus. And with them, fear.
In February of this year, <a href="https://time.com/5779872/coronavirus-ebola-news-coverage/">Time reported</a> that more than 41,000 English-language articles mentioned the word “coronavirus.” Compare that to 1,800 when “Ebola” was spreading in 2018. Along those same lines, in <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/3/17/21182770/news-consumption-coronavirus-traffic-views">the middle of March</a>, coronavirus articles from 3,000 high-traffic sites made up 1% of published articles but 13% of all article views.
There is no lack of coverage or conversation surrounding coronavirus. And that’s as it should be. People need to know that status of the virus as well as how to stay safe. It’s important for the media to keep people informed.
But in an election year, everything is politicized. And in 2020, Joe Biden and Donald Trump have more than enough news headlines (far more than any of us would have ever wanted) to slam their opponent and/or bolster themselves. Coronavirus is no exception.
So, at the risk of appearing both pessimistic and cynical, here’s how both candidates can be hurt and helped by the unrest caused by a global pandemic.
<div id="attachment_149720" style="width: 860px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149720" class="wp-image-149720" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/biden37-2.jpg" alt="Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden delivers remarks at an aluminum manufacturing facility in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on September 21, 2020.

Biden’s Blame Trump Covid Strategy
The ways Covid helps Joe Biden are obvious. Coming into the election, Trump’s main claim to success entering the final year of his first term was the state of the American economy. Any sort of positive slant on that topic has basically gone out the window these past six months.
GDP shrunk 9.1% in the second quarter of 2020 (it only dropped 3% at the worst of the 2008 recession). The unemployment rate has hit 14.7% (comparable to The Great Depression) with over 20 million American jobs lost. And household spending decreased drastically at the start of the pandemic, causing small businesses all across the country to close as their revenue dried up and lockdowns forced many into unsustainable situations.
Expect Biden to hammer Trump on the economy and blame his poor response to the pandemic as the source for economic meltdown. Considering Trump touted his business acumen as a reason to elect him, this hole will be a tricky one to dig out of.
<div id="attachment_149982" style="width: 860px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149982" class="wp-image-149982" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Donald-Trump-Rally.jpg" alt="U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a 'Make America Great Again' campaign rally in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, U.S., on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020.

Trump’s Covid Comeback
But Trump isn’t without a leg to stand on. The ways he can positively politicize Covid for his own campaign are less obvious and statistical than Biden’s, but no less effective. What fueled Trump’s rise in 2016 was an emotion that politicians have used forever — fear.
Trump realized in 2016 that many people were afraid of the direction the D.C. establishment and liberal media were taking the country. There’s no doubt that a lot of people entered voting booths in 2016 nervous and uncertain about the country’s future. That’s where Trump stepped in and offered himself as a savior for all those who were worried that America’s best days were behind her. Despite experts declaring he had no shot, Trump’s Make America Great Again campaign won him a resounding Electoral College victory.
Don’t be surprised when he does the same thing again. Are you scared about the civic unrest you see around you? Are you nervous about Biden’s ability to lead us out of these terrible dueling crises that no one could’ve predicted or avoided? Fear not. Trump helped guide us through the pandemic, and he’ll continue to steer us toward full recovery. (That message, of course, will be countered by the Democrats and mainstream media, who have tried to pin the whole pandemic on the president.)
As for the social unrest, as Trump has emphasized in recent weeks, his solution will be largely economic: improve the financial situation for minority communities and many of the problems we’re seeing explode on the streets will go away.
Another possible plus for Trump: Biden’s economic angle for the pandemic is getting weaker, something the president can exploit. Despite hitting a high of 14.7% unemployment at the peak of the pandemic, it’s dropped precipitously since then, dropping to 8.4% in August. Trump can point to that dramatic improvement and promise more of the same if he remains at the helm.
<div id="attachment_149372" style="width: 860px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149372" class="wp-image-149372" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Trump-Biden-864x576.jpg" alt="In this photo illustration a pencil lies on a U.S. presidential election mail-in ballot received by a U.S. citizen living abroad that shows current U.S. Republican President Donald Trump and his main contender, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, among the choices on September 21, 2020 in Berlin, Germany.

The Media Bias Factor
Look, it feels a little wrong to talk about how two men are “benefitting” from such a terrible and tragic event. Hundreds of thousands of people have died all around the world. It’s been a horrific past few months. Let’s not belittle that.
But let’s also not pretend that the news outlets presenting us with information on Covid are unbiased or detached from what’s about to happen in November. This is the time of year where narratives are shaped and told. And the coronavirus pandemic is still partly a lump of unformed clay in the hands of two political giants.
What they will do with that is yet to be seen in full. In the meantime, let’s keep our eyes and ears open. Know what you’re listening to and who you’re hearing it from. The source matters. And so too does the political candidate who may be manipulating you in ways of which you are not yet aware.

The Democratic base wants party leaders to stop at nothing in the fight to keep Judge Amy Coney Barrett off the Supreme Court, but Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says that while they can &#8220;slow&#8221; her confirmation, they will not be able to stop it.
Speaking on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; Durbin concurred that the Democrats do not have a &#8220;silver bullet&#8221; to take out Barrett and that they can only do so much.
<div class="content-list-component yr-content-list-text text" data-rapid-cpos="8" data-rapid-subsec="paragraph" data-rapid-parsed="subsec">
“We can slow it down perhaps a matter of hours, maybe days at the most, but we can’t stop the outcome,” Durbin told George Stephanopoulos, as reported by <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/supreme-court-nomination/2020/09/27/917444275/we-can-t-stop-the-outcome-no-2-senate-democrat-says-of-barrett-nomination">NPR</a>.
Durbin strongly criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for pushing Barrett&#8217;s nomination prior to the election, an alleged reversal to his stance in 2016.
“Now we’re going hellbent on getting this done before the election,” Durbin said. “And the second thing, of course, he reversed the position he took four years ago saying we should wait for the next president to fill the vacancy.”
Durbin also argued that Barrett should recuse herself from any future cases pertaining to the 2020 presidential election.
&#8220;I certainly wish she would; it would really help matters and it would evidence the fact that she wants to be fair in addressing this,&#8221; Durbin said. &#8220;To think that [Trump] would not accept the verdict of the election, and that he would make it clear that he&#8217;s filling this vacancy on the Supreme Court to make sure it tips his way if there&#8217;s any election contest, that is an outrage.&#8221;

As reported by <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/supreme-court-senate-confirmation_n_5f6dfe7cc5b64deddeecee7a">HuffPo</a>, Democratic strategists have been working around the clock to cook up plans that could stall or derail Barrett&#8217;s nomination to the Supreme Court.
&#8220;There aren’t many options available to keep this from happening. But progressive activist groups and, increasingly, members of the party’s elite are pushing Senate <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ylk="subsec:paragraph;cpos:3;elm:context_link;itc:0" data-rapid-parsed="slk">Democrats</a> to deploy every tool available to fight this nomination. Democrats are also being urged to threaten retribution for this appointment, if it comes to pass, in the form of adding justices to the Supreme Court and eliminating the legislative filibuster,&#8221; the report said.
Though Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reportedly said that &#8220;nothing is off the table&#8221; in the fight to protect Ginsburg&#8217;s seat, CNN legal expert Jeff Toobin said that Democrats will wimp out and not put up much of a fight.
“Democrats are great about talking big, but we’ll see if he has the … if he and the other Democrats have the guts to do anything,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cnns-jeff-toobin-calls-democrats-wimps-says-theyll-fail-to-keep-rbg-seat-empty">Toobin said</a>. “If they retake control of the Senate, will they really add the two seats on the Supreme Court?”
“They’re weak, they’re wimps and they’re afraid,” he added. “We think about Bush v. Gore.  In 2016, Al Gore said, ‘No street protests. This is just a legal process.&#8217; There is a difference to how Democrats and Republicans go about these fights and we’ll see if Democrats learn anything from Republicans here. Yes, it’s interesting that Chuck Schumer said nothing is off the table, but that’s not a commitment to do anything,”

Leftists mocked and made derisive comments on Sunday evening in response to news reports that former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale was hospitalized in Florida following threats he allegedly made about harming himself.
&#8220;Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him,&#8221; Tim Murtaugh, Director of Communications for the Trump campaign, said in a statement. &#8220;We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible. The disgusting, personal attacks from Democrats and disgruntled RINOs have gone too far, and they should be ashamed of themselves for what they&#8217;ve done to this man and his family.&#8221;
Democrat congressional <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Bob_Lynch">candidate</a> Bob Lynch responded to the news by <a href="https://archive.is/jIkVd">writing</a> on Twitter: &#8220;F*** Brad Parscale. The business of separating innocent refugee babies from their parents, stripping women’s rights, selling our country to the Russians, and on and on should take a toll. It sure did on those innocent families. Killing is Trump/DeSantis’ business.&#8221;

During <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?476319-1/joe-biden-president-trump-terminate-affordable-care-act-supreme-court-nominee#">remarks on Sunday</a>, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused Republicans of engaging in an “abuse of power” for moving forward to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ruth-bader-ginsburg">Ruth Bader Ginsburg</a> before election day, emphasizing that early voting has already started in some states.
“U.S. Constitution provides one chance — one — for the Americans to have their voices heard on who serves a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, who makes those big decisions about their healthcare, their civil rights, and much else,” said Biden.
“That chance is now. That moment is now. And the voters, in my view, are not gonna stand for this abuse of power. And if we’re to call ourselves a Democracy, their voices must be heard,” he added.
President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-officially-nominates-amy-coney-barrett-to-the-u-s-supreme-court?%3Futm_source=twitter">Donald Trump officially nominated Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett</a>, 48, to the Supreme Court on Saturday, kicking off a confirmation process that is expected to continue into late October, mere days before the election.
Late last week, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsay Graham (R-SC) said that he plans on having <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/graham-says-barrett-hearings-will-begin-oct-12-lays-out-rough-timeline">Barrett finished with the committee process by October 26</a>, at which point Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will establish how to proceed.
During his Sunday speech, and in reference to the Supreme Court vacancy, Biden called on “every senator to take a step back from the brink, take off the blinders of politics,” and “stand up to the Constitution you swore to uphold.” He also said that just because &#8220;you have the power to do something,” it “doesn&#8217;t absolve you of your responsibility to do right by the American people.&#8221;
Democrats have accused McConnell of violating the precedent he used back in 2016 — when a vacancy was left on the Supreme Court by the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia — to avoid holding hearings for Obama Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland.
McConnell has pointed out that the precedent wasn’t about not holding Supreme Court hearings during an election year, but rather, not holding hearings during an election year when the president and the Senate, which is tasked with voting on the Supreme Court nominee, are of opposite parties during an election year.
“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise. Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year,” said <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcconnell-honors-ginsburgs-life-vows-to-hold-vote-on-trump-supreme-court-nominee">McConnell in a statement</a> earlier this month.
“By contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary. Once again, we will keep our promise,” the Republican Senate majority leader added.
Should Barrett be successfully appointed to the Supreme Court, she will be the only sitting justice not to have a degree from either Harvard or Yale. She will also be nearly 35 years younger than the current oldest sitting justice, Stephen Breyer, who is 82 and has served on the court for over a quarter-century.
A previous version of this article incorrectly described Justice Breyer as 87; he is 82 years old.

Law enforcement officials in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, reportedly responded to a call on Sunday afternoon that former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale was threatening to harm himself.
&#8220;Police have not confirmed that Parscale worked for Trump, but records confirm that the property in Fort Lauderdale is owned by Parscale, 44, and Local 10 has spoken to neighbors who also said it was the former advisor to the President,&#8221; WPLG Local 10 News <a href="https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/09/28/former-trump-campaign-manager-brad-pascale-armed-barricades-self-in-fl-home-police-called/">reported</a>. &#8220;When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with the wife of the man who told them her husband was armed, had access to multiple firearms inside the house and was threatening to harm himself.&#8221;
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that Parscale &#8220;didn’t threaten police and he went willingly under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows police to detain a person who is potentially a threat to himself or others.&#8221;
WPLG said that police were responding to &#8220;an armed male attempting suicide&#8221; while the South Florida Sun-Sentinel said that Parscale&#8217;s wife contacted police &#8220;worried that he was suicidal and had firearms.&#8221;
Parscale was then reportedly taken to a hospital.
&#8220;Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him,&#8221; Tim Murtaugh, Director of Communications for the Trump campaign, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftists-mock-brad-parscale-following-report-on-mental-health-trump-campaign-responds-in-statement">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible.

The governor of Baja California, Mexico, is demanding an apology from the mayor of Imperial Beach, California, United States, for suggesting that their state government still has more work to do to curb the movement of raw sewage to the U.S. from Mexico.
According to the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-09-26/mexican-governor-california-mayor-cross-border-sewage-spills">Los Angeles Times</a>, Governor Jaime Bonilla has now demanded an apology from Mayor Serge Dedina (D) on three separate occasions, starting after Dedina commended him for fixing broken sewage pumps, but suggested more work was needed.
“The vast amount of this contamination comes from American companies operating in Tijuana discharging their waste into the river, that’s where he needs to focus his attention,” Bonilla said during a press conference, according to <a href="https://www.borderreport.com/regions/california/war-of-words-heats-up-over-international-efforts-to-clean-up-border-sewage/">Border Report</a>.
Bonilla also told a Mexico-based news agency that he would not “allow a mayor to attack Mexico because of his political aspirations” and suggested that Dedina just wanted to become a U.S. senator, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Over the past three decades, the sewage infrastructure problem has been an ever-growing issue for Tijuana, Mexico, where raw sewage can travel to the United States via the Tijuana River Watershed, according to the <a href="https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/sandiego/water_issues/programs/tijuana_river_valley_strategy/sewage_issue.html">California Water Board</a>.
“The sewage flows degrade water quality in the Tijuana River Estuary and adjacent beach coastal waters and also pose a significant public health risk to residents and visitors along both sides of the border,” reads the California Water Board’s website.
According to The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/work-starts-to-stop-sewage-flows-into-california-from-mexico/2020/09/02/b8675f3e-ed86-11ea-bd08-1b10132b458f_story.html">Associated Press</a>, the Trump administration said it has been working with the Mexican government to develop a solution to the complex problem and has recently completed a $10.6 million project to address sewage spilling into the Tijuana River. Another project targeting the pump system in Tijuana is also underway, in addition to other purportedly temporary fixes until a more permanent solution is established.
One area of particular concern is the Punta Banderas pump, which is about six miles into Mexico, and dumps sewage into a beach south of the border. The sewage can then drift up the coast toward Imperial Beach, California, making the city’s residents sick.
Dedina recently remarked that Bonilla was making progress on the sewage problem, which he has referred to as a “sewage apocalypse,” and was eager to allow the beaches to safely re-open ahead of the Labor Day weekend, reports AP.
But Dedina, who the LA Times reports has personally gotten sick because of the pollution problem — as has his son  — also says there is “a long way to go before we ever apologize” to the governor of Baja California.
“They’re taking water out of the river so there’s no flow, they’re sending it six miles south of the border dumping it in the beach so when there’s a south swell south wind, like there was on Labor Day, our beaches are massively polluted with pollution levels off the charts,” he said, reports Border Report.
