Powerful and touching story. If this doesn’t wake some more braindead “compassionate” Dem Voters up, I don’t know what will.

While Cuomo Targets Orthodox Jews, Muslim Mass Gatherings Go On – Frontpagemag
Why do Cuomo and DiBlasio hate Jews? They vote Democrat don’t they?
Actually, no. In my experience, Orthodox Jews heavily lean conservative. Conservative Jews are mixed but have been known to lean left – until this election – shifting right. The reform sector are fully progressive Marxists.
“Let them eat cake” Nancy is at it again –
wow. Wolfe points out that even Andrew Yang and Ro Khana are saying “Do It! Pass it!”
What a POS she is.
I crawled over glass for 2.5 hours to vote for MyPresident!
Electronic voting machine prints out voter’s completed ballot which voter hand-carries to the next station where the poll worker has the voter insert the ballot into a machine and watch the digital confirmation of acceptance of the ballot. The entire time the poll worker was explaining the step-by-step process. She gave me a hand out of the web address to accept for confirmation of my vote.
The process seems good, but, of course, digital data can be manipulated.
It’s the mail-in ballots that concern me.
There were 15-20+ people running against Sen Loeffler. Doug Collins’s name was 3rd down on 1st column. Positioned well. Have no idea where the rest of the rats came from.
Vote in person!

Now – Rally time!!
Well here’s a surprise… NOT!
“Unmasking’ probe commissioned by Barr quietly concludes without charges or any public report”
| The federal prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William P. Barr to review whether Obama-era officials improperly requested the identities of individuals whose names were redacted in intelligence documents has completed his work without finding any substantive wrongdoing, according to people familiar with the matter.
The revelation that U.S. Attorney John Bash, who left the department last week, had concluded his review without criminal charges or any public report will rankle President Trump at a moment when he is particularly upset at the Justice Department. The department has so far declined to release the results of Bash’s work, though people familiar with his findings say they would likely disappoint conservatives who have tried to paint the “unmasking” of names — a common practice in government to help understand classified documents — as a political conspiracy. |

Consider the source.
Wait for official confirmation.
When has WAPO been right / accurate about anything?
Fox just reported the same thing, FWIW
yeah, right
in the face of Samantha Power having publicly said that she didn’t make some tens to hundreds of unmasking requests that were in her name and with her access credentials
riiiiiiiiiiiight
At the very LEAST that needs to be explained……oh, wait, it appears they never even brought Powers in for a friggin’ interview.
FUBAR‼️
It can’t be explained publicly because as I recall Biden had 2 of the unmasking requests and you know we can’t cross that political line so option 2, dump it all.
If they did give a reason most likely No Intent. It’s that the escape all………..
The one thing Barr has done IMO is……..
Instead of restoring Americans faith in a one system of justice he sure seems like he has accomplished the exact opposite where the vast majority of Americans now believe we have most definitely a two tier system of justice especially in DC.
So there is that.
Her credentials, her responsibility.
Same thing reported in The Hill. Bash’s parting shot before he leaves the swamp. I thought that someone (was it FISA judge Rosemary Collyer?) already said that 85% of the unmasking requests were illegal…
https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/520922-unmasking-probe-concludes-without-finding-any-substantive-wrongdoing
If this doesn’t tell you the swamp has no bottom, you will forever be frustrated. I am convinced it is impossible to turn around. Our great President will continue to fight, and he will drain some of it, but it’s just….too….deep.
These were the unmaskings by Obama players in 2016 and into Jan 2017.
And IMO Barr wouldn’t go near the NSA Contractor Spying Operation where Adm Rodgers provided unequivocal evidence that the Spying existed and 85% of the searches were “non compliant”
I thought that someone (was it FISA judge Rosemary Collyer?) already said that 85% of the unmasking requests were illegal…
I think that 85% referred to NSA database queries, not to unmaskings specifically
But anyone’s welcome to correct me please if I’ve got it wrong
OK, I continue to look at the Denver antifa shooting of Lee Keltner. Denver Post released an article where they claim to have released all the photos taken on 10/10/2020 by their photographer Helen Richardson. It appears that 6 images are missing, not the 2 originally believed. Here is the article:
https://www.denverpost.com/2020/10/12/denver-protest-shooting-photos-full-sequence/?utm_content=tw-denverpost&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=social
I will work with only frame number and timestamps to make it simpler. I am ignoring frames 2610 through 2630, since they were taken with a different vantage point and earlier point in time. They cover the guy with the Black Guns Matter shirt screaming “mace me n—r” over and over try to instigate a fight. This individual has been identified by internet researchers and is known to have instigate numerous violent episodes at protests in the past. He appears to be a left wing radical and operating in coordination with the shooter.
Frames 2631 through 2680 covering 3:36:52 to 3:36:58 appear to represent one continuous sequence of images taken automatically at 10 images per second and cover the events immediately before the shooting, the shooting and the aftermath. 6 seconds of time.
This is boring, but important. Here are the number of images per second in the automatic 10 image per second sequence:
Time 3:36:52, Frame 2631 to 2634, total of 4 images. In these frames the altercation occurs.
Time 3:36:53, Frame 2635 to 2641, total of 7 images. At frame 2541 shooters gun in waistband
Time 3:36:54, Frame 2642 to 2647, total of 7 images. At frame 2542 shot fired, casing in air, mace in air
Time 3:36:55, Frame 2648 to 2657, total of 10 images. Victim has been hit for all after frame 2543
Time 3:36:56, Frame 2658 to 2667, total of 10 images.
Time 3:36:57, Frame 2668 to 2677, total of 10 images.
Time 3:36:58, Frame 2678 to 2680, total of 3 images
So the camera was triggered somewhere in the middle of the second at 3:36:52 and sequence ended somewhere within the second of 3:36:58, so there is less than 10 images in these seconds.
For the other seconds, there should be 10 images, but for 3:36:53 and 3:36:54 there are only 7 images.
This means that 3 + 3 = 6 images appear to be missing from this sequence. The images that are missing are at the exact time that the shooter pulled the gun from his waistband, brought the gun up and aimed at the victim’s head.
At frame 2541 the gun is still in the shooter’s waistband and the shooter’s right hand is about to grab the pistol. At frame 2542 the pistol has already been aimed at the victim’s head, bullet is in the air about to hit the victim, the slide has retracted, and the spent shell has been ejected & is a few inches above the Glock pistol.
Here is frame 2541:
Here is frame 2542:
It is not possible to retrieve the gun from the waistband, aim, fire and have the weapon to cycle in 1/10th of a second. 6/10ths of a second is fast, but doable.
Again, there appears to be 6 images missing from the sequence.
Note that the camerawoman has taken a step back between the two images, since you can see the shadow of the victim’s legs in frame 2542, but not 2541. This proves that there is a discontinuity in time between the two frames.
Once again, this points to images being missing in the sequence.
The most likely explanation for this is that 6 images have been deliberately deleted from the image sequence, at the exact moment the gun began to be drawn from the shooter’s waistband.
Maybe it is possible that the photographer flinched at that exact moment and removed her finger from the camera trigger for 0.6 seconds, but that seems extremely unlikely. It would make more sense for a flinch to occur at the moment the gun is discharged, which happened in videos that were taken by others simultaneous to this sequence of images being captured. The flinch in these videos results in the camera violently being rotated and swung around at the time the weapon is fired.
No violent flinch appears to occur in the capture of the Denver Post image sequence, since the images that are actually 1/10 of a second apart move smoothly. It appears that the photographer was stepping back while the weapon was being drawn and aimed, but the images have been deleted from the sequence.
This does not pass the smell test. The Denver Post needs to explain why the critical images are missing from the sequence or provide the missing images to the authorities and public.
Does somebody have the contact information for the Denver Police department doing the investigation handy? I want to send them this post to make sure they have this information.
Great analysis, Joemama. Very interested with this news. Hope family of Ketlner sue the bajeebus of News9.
Grrrr. Typos. Frame 2541 should be 2641 and frame 2542 should be 2642.
Saw a news report with Denver PD contact info 2 days ago, but can’t find it now.
So they deleted those images because it would show the gun was drawn before the victim sprayed the shooter?
It would seem so. Now NBC 9NEWS is making the victim out to be the aggressor.
The shooter is getting the exact opposite treatment that Kyle Rittenhouse got in Wisconsin. He was immediately charged with murder 1 and the MSM vilified him as a murderer and white supremacist. The videos taken during the event clearly show that Rittenhouse acted in self defense.
Here, a murderer, Matthew Dolloff, is not being charged, is being exonerated as just defending himself and his “producer”, using videos taken by 9NEWS and the Denver Post that appear to have had the critical moments edited out. Both do not show that Dolloff aimed the weapon at Keltner’s head before Keltner brought up his mace to defend himself.
The MSM and antifa are colluding from what I can tell. I can’t research all this right now, but I have read that the DA in Denver was funded by Soros and is corrupt. I haven’t seen any reports on the Denver police, but this is not looking good for the family of Lee Keltner.
This just hurts my heart.
NBC 9NEWS just released a video to make the victim appear like the aggressor:
I don’t buy for a second that the “producer” stopped the video for 12 seconds right before the shooting and then restarted it.
https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/unlicensed-security-guard-matthew-dolloff-shooting-probable-cause-statement/73-a5a0a0e9-11b1-4d7d-972d-7b2a25fd1173
9NEWS is pushing a narrative that this was self defense. This so biased it makes me sick.
“A judge on Tuesday also granted a motion filed by the Denver DA for a 72-hour extension on a decision on whether to file charges against Matthew Dolloff.” The DA might not file charges.
This is totally sick.
FTA: An additional statement from 9NEWS management was released Tuesday:
“As stated yesterday, 9NEWS does not contract directly with individual security personnel. 9NEWS contracted with Pinkerton and had directed that security guards accompanying our personnel not be armed. None of 9NEWS’ crew accompanied by Mr. Dolloff on Saturday were aware that he was armed.”
What makes me totally sick in all of this — besides the obvious — is the person saying the guard saved his life. Mace doesn’t kill you. The guy clearly says “The guy on the ground was going to mace me. That was my security guard, he just protected my f-ing life.”
Was my security guard? Was going to mace the reporter? And yes, the reporters life is f-ing when he is willing to kill someone else.
Unmasking is not a crime, so it’s no surprise the “unmasking probe concludes without charges”. Unmasking may prove intent to commit a crime. Maria said two weeks ago, no report will be issued. So, no surprise there is no “unmasking” report. Wash Post just playing word games.
Waymore….Judge Collier said 85% of the unmasking was ILLEGAL..in other words…a crime!
I think Judge Collier said the searches were unlawful. A search is different to unmasking.
Back in the days when sports could be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment and admiration for athletic skill my family were Pittsburgh Pirate fans. Here’s my dad’s effort today:
Some sixty years ago today
When baseball was a game you play
And politics had not intruded…
A thing to which we’ve just alluded.
A shot heard round the baseball world
Resulted in a flag unfurled:
The World Series had been won,
The Pirates a great job had done.
Mazerosky hit that ball,
But craftsmanship was done by all
The Pirates on that golden day…
That was their secret winning way.
Clemente, who can eer forget
His name’s revered now, even yet.
Smoky Burgess, bending down
To stop wild pitches with a frown.
Heroes all, to family here
Who still remember with a cheer
The greatest team, the Pittsburgh nine
Who still deserve a better rhyme!
I lived three houses away from Elroy Face and I was 9 years old at the time. All the surrounding streets had an impromptu party when Elroy returned home. The main street was shut down by wooden sawhorses. Many of the adult men grabbed their musical instruments and formed a band marching back and forth in front of Elroy’s house. It was magical.
I was a diehard Pirates fan and had attended 20 games that year with my grandmother. Somehow, my Dad had come up with two tickets to Game 7 (where Maz hit the homerun). My Mom, who wasn’t a particularly big fan, wouldn’t allow me to miss school to go to the game so she and my grandmother went instead and took part in history. I snuck my transistor radio into school and listened to the game on my earphones.
Thanks for you sharing your Dad’s effort.
It is FOX so consider the source. I hope this is not true.
I seriously hope there is more to this. So tired of DOJ dragging their feet in all of this! Donald Trump and the American people deserve justice.
Trying to be as optimistic as Housley here….

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BARR?
Bash is 39. I still say he was either threatened directly or indirectly. He and his wife have been dependable conservatives. Makes no sense. I agree with Sundance….something fishy here.

Excellent!
Nice ending!!!!!
Ahhh HAHAHA!
The American public will be the ones left with a chair.
If memory serves me, Flynn was found not guilty of anything after 4 years of persecution by the FBI and DOJ. Yet he was unmasked 50 times by 39 Obama officials. Now Barr’s prosecutor could find nothing wrong with this.
I do have a question, just how soon can we rid ourselves of US Attorney John Bash and AG Barr?
REPORT: Bill Barr’s ‘Unmasking’ Probe Into Obama Officials Concludes without Charges
By Cristina Laila
Published October 13, 2020
Bill Barr
The US Attorney tapped by Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate “unmasking” done by Obama’s criminal officials around the 2016 has concluded the probe without bringing any charges, according to the Washington Post.
US Attorney John Bash reportedly found no evidence of wrongdoing and concluded the probe without charges and without a public report.
The probe into unmasking was launched in May of this year after then-acting DNI Richard Grenell declassified the list of Obama officials involved in the unmasking of General Mike Flynn in his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Joe Biden was also on the list!
US Attorney John Bash was also investigating whether Obama officials leaked information to reporters, but found no wrongdoing.
Reviewing the list, it seemed notable that Flynn’s calls were unmasked nearly 50 times by 39 officials. The really strange part is that the unmasking began on November 30, 2016.
https://pjmedia.com/columns/stacey-lennox/2020/05/18/it-is-very-strange-that-general-flynn-was-unmasked-almost-50-times-n394535
I believe Bash has already resigned from the DOJ.
AG Barr hasn’t…….so, PDJT could DEMAND Barr write a full report with all names, dates and reasons for each unmasking and have it or his resignation delivered to the White House within 24 hours.
Maybe there was no investigation. Maybe we’ve been Huber-ed.
Governor Northam of Virginia blamed Trump for the Michigan kidnapping plot. It’s Trump’s “rhetoric” that’s to blame, doncha know.

A Deep Purge for the Deep State
Donald Trump will win the election and win comfortably. But he can’t afford a second term like the first one where he is routinely undermined by bureaucrats and members of his own party. Trump needs to go onto offense and institute a Deep Purge of the Deep State, and do so immediately in order to get the bureaucracy under control and to force his own party to support his agenda which is endorsed by 90%-95% of GOP members and voters. Here is how I recommend Trump implements the Deep Purge of the Deep State.
The morning after Election Day, when it is clear that Trump has won and before mail in ballots have started to be “found” and counted, Trump should announce a general amnesty for all bureaucrats who have misbehaved in office if they confess to their misbehaviour and identify who else participated in, supported or covered up the misbehaviour. The amnesty should end on Inauguration Day. The reason for announcing it immediately is to ensure that anyone in the FEC considering assisting with any voter fraud might either report what they know or not participate in such fraud, thereby making it harder for the Democrats to cheat. The amnesty should be announced publicly and by a direct email to every Federal Employee in the USA.
The terms of the amnesty are simple, if you do not make use of the amnesty and are later identified as a wrong doer you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Legislation will be presented in the first session of 2021 and be dated to take effect on the day of the amnesty proclamation. Wrong doers who do not come clean will be prosecuted for their crimes and all wrong doers, including those who break protocol rather than the law, will permanently lose any security clearance they have, be banned from ever working in any US Government at any level again and will forfeit all pension and other accrued entitlements. Those who do take advantage of the amnesty will be sanctioned by reduction in rank and or security clearance or be paid out with all entitlements depending on their level of honesty, cooperation and the scale of their wrong doing.
Trump should set up a secure White House hosted web service to receive amnesty requests and the amnesty requests should be identified up by Department and Agency. The web service should be ready to deploy as soon as the amnesty announcement is made. Every day the White House should publish statistics of amnesty requests by Department and Agency. As soon as one request comes from one department or agency more will come. As soon as a number come form a single agency I would expect an avalanche.
At the amnesty announcement Trump should announce a Special Counsel to investigate every single agency where wrong doing is identified. This could mean dozens of special counsels. Trump should also create an overarching special counsel to review each special counsel. The Inspector General of any department will be automatically investigated wherever the amount of wrong doing exceeds a particular level.
All this should be per drafted by the White House in legislation to be provided to House and or Senate. Trump should then make clear to GOP representatives and senators that any GOP representative or senator who does not vote for this swamp cleaning legislation will be primaried at the first opportunity. Trump should appoint his own candidate selection coordinator ready to solicit and identify good MAGA agenda supporting candidates to run against those who failed to vote for the legislation. Trump should collect funds so that selected candidates have the means to spend at least one year campaigning effectively against the incumbent being primaried.
Such a purge would quickly clean out many corrupt or politically aligned bureaucrats, would make public the vast corruption in Washington and allow President Trump to take control of the Executive and create an environment where his key agenda items can be implemented faithfully.
Trump will be at maximum power when he wins and especially if he wins big, which I suspect he will. He needs to act quickly and not rely on those who have let him down in the past. He needs to be resolute and time focussed so he can get at least one full term of his Presidency where he is not blocked unlawfully by the bureaucrats who are supposed to work for him. He needs to get the whole swamp to turn on itself in order to drain the swamp once and for all.
The only way I can see for Trump to do this is to implement a Deep Purge of the Deep State and make all the wrong doing in the swamp public for every American to see. Then Trump will have the political capital and freedom to pursue his America First agenda.
Sounds good – but the House will impeach him and the Senate will convict IN A HEARTBEAT.
That’s why you act quickly and decisively to make sure that Trump collects all the swamp filth before anyone can act against him. I can’t see what grounds there would be for impeachment, and if Trump wins big, I am assuming the House, Senate are won by the GOP.
PDJT can not fire anyone in the Senate and House.
If he does fire and have the DOJ charge the incompetents in the bureaucracy, the bureaucrats will implicate their masters – the corrupt Senators and House members.
They will not jeopardize their gravy train – their rightful place at the feed trough of public taxpayer and lobbyist money.
Remember it is us deplorables that love the President.
Rinos and Never Trumpers are content to be comfortable in 2nd place.
They need no grounds for impeachment. It is a political process.
But I agree in FIRING ALL THEIR ASSES!
He is not firing anyone in the house or senate. He is picking and funding candidates to run against them in their next primary. With few exceptions I doubt that many bureaucrats are going to implicate politicians because they work for the executive not the legislative branch. Legislative branch writes laws and oversights the executive. The politicians will need to get onboard because they love the deplorables who vote for them but only when they vote. So this is a mechanism to tie them to their voters a the start of the legislative season not at the end when they typically need the deplorables vote. I don’t see impeachment as viable. Trump will have all the dirt from the bureaucracy and he will be able to release it himself. He will have the house and senate over a barrel because they have failed in their overnight duties. The proof if the scale of corruption across the whole swamp will be held by Trump, the Representatives and Senators won’t know what Trump has. I am sure the master negotiator will be able to negotiate a strong position with that level of information under his control. What politician is going to fight Trump who is holding information about corruption, that representatives and senators don’t know what it is and it is their job to help prevent corruption. The public would be outraged and Trump can just release the info and primary the bad GOP politicians.
Interesting and a very viable comment, however, I do not underestimate the viciousness of the Congressional despicables.
The Democrats know and believe this as well. That’s why they went with Biden knowing they can get him in office via ballot harvesting which will be uncontested by the silo centric DOJ, I just pray that President Trump’s vote count is insurmountable!
Until these districts meet the Trump Administration Homeland Security cross auditing of active legal Social Security voter numbers.
I’m not waiting any more! I have no power to help my country. Thats what i used to believe. Until today! I was on facebook and up comes an ad from lindsy graham. So i went into the comments section. And asked “why dont you ask mr jones for money?he used to work for Feinstein and gave fusion gps 50 million. And why did the ssci security leason mr wolf get to plead guilty to 1 count of lying when he leaked a copy of the fisa application to allie watkins of the new york times?”
I know it won’t matter. But when i left they was still arguing if what i said was true and other’s to my pleasant surprise started to explain in detail. Not sure if they are treepers. But i think sundance has been affective! Thanks sundance.??

This is Part 2- Part one is the podcast before this. The Iranians kept Bin Laden alive in Iran with US approval- the paleta of cash sent to Iran was to move Bin Ladin to Pakistan for the kill- Iran pulled him back and it was a body double – and why Seal Team 6 had to be destroyed.
Obama, Biden, Clinton, Brennen, the whole shooting match. Flynn was taken out to shut him up….
