My car trailer with my dad’s convertible inside was stolen today near Autozone and Eagle Express Market in Salisbury.

The “Arising” logo on the front of the trailer is easy to spot.

Please help. David Cook

Staten Island GOP turns tables on Trump-hating teen TikTok trolls

Take that, Trump-hating TikTok tricksters!

Thousands of teens tried to sabotage a Staten Island Republican rally last week by hoarding online tickets — just as they did to embarrass President Trump in Tulsa, Okla. in June.

But the GOP bamboozled them into pouring nearly $16,000 into party coffers instead.

On Sept. 19, out-of-staters using fake, frequently lewd names — including “Grabemby DePussay,” “Ivana Punchyou” and “F–kyou Trump” — began signing up online for the “TRiUMPh Rally,” a free get-out-the-vote event.

“We had about 1,500 RSVPs from Staten Islanders. Then all of a sudden we started seeing the numbers tick up to 10,000, 15,000, 75,000,” Staten Island GOP chairman Brendan Lantry told The Post. “We knew something was not right.”

Lantry’s wife Jessica, an avid TikTok user, soon traced the sign-ups to their source: a clip posted earlier that day by a 19-year-old from Brooklyn calling herself Felisrae.

To deter the troublemakers, Lantry added a nonrefundable $5 fee to the online sign-up form.Enlarge ImageTikTok

“But they kept coming,” Lantry said. “From Colorado and California and Chicago and Houston, all over the country.”

Multiple “Ruth Ginsbergs” — from Salisbury, Md., and Greensboro, N.C. — gladly paid for their ducats.

By the time the Oct. 3 rally began in a commercial parking lot on the South Shore, the Trump-haters had shelled out $15,785 to buy more than 3,000 vouchers they had no intention of using.

“They hate this president so much that they’re willing to donate to the Republican Party to troll him,” Lantry said.

And the thousands of Trump-hating no-shows were barely missed. No seats were provided at the open-air rally, and the event drew 2,500 locals, who filmed a get-well message for Trump as he recuperated from his bout with COVID-19.

“Thank you, progressives, for helping us put on a successful rally,” Lantry said.

Joe Biden reportedly ‘would consider’ Gov. Cuomo for attorney general

Aides at the National Governors Association have begun considering replacements for Gov. Andrew Cuomo as its chair, according to a report, as speculation mounts that he will be eyed for attorney general in a potential Biden administration.

Cuomo, a fairly close political ally of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, is being pushed for the role as the nation’s top law enforcement officer, Axios reported Sunday.

Given their relationship, the outlet reports that Biden “would consider him” for the job.

The former vice president and the New York governor have long had a professional rapport, though it evolved into one that was more personal in recent years.

In 2015, according to the New York Times, Cuomo earned himself “Biden’s lasting appreciation, and helped cement a personal friendship” when the two discussed the then-VP mulling a run for the presidency in the 2016 cycle.

Trump 'has been a champion' for the Black community: Paris Dennard

“There’s no doubt” that President Trump “will go down as the greatest champion for the Black community since Abraham Lincoln,” Black Voices for Trump Advisory Board member Paris Dennard told “Fox & Friends” on Monday.

He added that the “facts” and all of his “accomplishments” since he was elected in 2016 shows that President Trump, who he called “an aspirational leader,” is a champion for the Black community.

“When I saw him on the campaign trail in 2016 making direct pushes to the Black community saying, … ‘I want to be a champion, I want to fight for you,’ I said, ‘This is a person who has the experience and the leadership and the capabilities to fight for our community,” Dennard said. “And he’s done just that.”

“And so when I saw him keep all the promises that he’s made to us and do even more, like criminal justice reform, there’s no doubt in my mind that this president will go down as the greatest champion for the Black community since Abraham Lincoln,” he continued.

Facebook to remove content denying the Holocaust

Facebook announced today that it would remove content denying or distorting the Holocaust from its platform after facing years of pressure on the issue.

The company will begin directing users that search for terms associated with the Holocaust to credible information from third-party sources later this year.

Facebook has long faced pressure to take action against the bevy of conspiracy theories diminishing or denying the killing of 6 million Jews by Nazis.

Content that praised the Holocaust was previously banned.

"But with rising anti-Semitism, we're expanding our policy to prohibit any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust as well," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in blog post on Monday.

Zuckerberg had come under intense scrutiny in 2018 for defending the right of Holocaust deniers to post on his platform.

Women in 'Handmaid's Tale' habits protest ahead of Barrett confirmation hearings

Demonstrators attired in "Handmaid's Tale" garbs on Monday gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court to voice their opposition to the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

The striking red robes reference the clothing women are forced to wear in the fictional novel "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood in which an extremist Christian sect overthrows the U.S. government and strips women of nearly all their rights.

The outfit was similarly worn by demonstrators who protested during the confirmation hearings of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Those who oppose the nomination of Barrett fear that she will support the reversal of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal nationwide. Barrett has been critical of the ruling in the past. Many have also expressed concern that Barrett will work to take down the Affordable Care Act, legislation she argued against as a law professor at Notre Dame University.

Protestors chanted "Let the people decide!" to bring attention to the extreme brevity at which the nomination process has been conducted, occurring less than a month before the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Barrett's confirmation hearing began on Monday morning, attracting both supporters and critics.

I Didn’t Vote For Trump In 2016, But I’d Crawl Over Broken Glass To Vote For Him Now By David Sound

I don't care about the tone of his tweets nor if his opponents think he's rude. I've seen that he is a patriot who genuinely loves the United States of America and its people.

Even though I had voted for every Republican presidential candidate since 1980, I didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016.

I couldn’t imagine Trump as a genuine conservative who would champion limited government, respect individual freedom and liberty, and protect the unborn — but was I ever wrong.

In 2016, I was convinced Trump was just another New York liberal. On election night, however, I smiled. I was happy that at least Hillary Clinton wouldn’t be president, and I suspected that the next four years with Trump would at least be entertaining.

By the time Trump took office, I was willing to give him a chance. He was the president, after all, and deserved the opportunity to prove himself. During the first year of his presidency, I was impressed by his commitment to keeping his campaign promises, unlike most politicians. By the end of 2017, I classified myself as a Trump supporter because of what he had already done as president.

Trump’s list of first-term accomplishments has been truly impressive:

• Building the strongest U.S. economy in my lifetime through historic business and personal tax cuts, resulting in millions of jobs created and record-low unemployment
• Cutting federal government regulations that had a stranglehold on American business innovators and entrepreneurs
• Confronting China’s trade abuses and negotiating fair trade deals with Canada, Mexico, South Korea, and Japan
• Eliminating the Obamacare individual mandate
• Rebuilding our military through investments in our defense capabilities as well as securing the largest military pay raise in a decade
• Nominating and confirming more solid conservative circuit court judges than any other first-term administration
• Nominating and fighting for the confirmation of two originalists, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, to the Supreme Court and then nominating Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
• Moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and then brokering the Abraham Accords peace deal between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain
• Consistently fighting Democrats to build the wall to secure our southern border, reinforcing and repairing hundreds of miles, with more construction on the way

This is just a brief summary of the Trump administration’s accomplishments. In addition, Trump has been the most pro-life president in U.S. history.

I misjudged Trump in 2016, but I will do everything I can to see that he is re-elected in 2020 — and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Democrats have no case against Amy Coney Barrett — but that won't stop them

The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg put in motion the provisions of the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. On Sept. 26, President Trump discharged his constitutional duty and nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. The Senate begins its work with Judiciary Committee hearings today.

But Democrats began their efforts to derail any nomination even before the passing of Justice Ginsburg. Her death only accelerated their efforts.

First they scurried around, hoping to find enough Republicans to stall the constitutional process. That failed. They now know they don’t have the votes to procedurally block a nomination.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is still going to try. He’s now arguing that concerns about the pandemic should postpone any action. He knows that’s also going to fail.

Other Democrats have suggested different tactics. Some said they’d refuse to meet with the nominee. So much for a fair hearing.

Houser Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) even hinted at a second impeachment of the president. She knew that was pure bluster. Attempting another impeachment would be political suicide for her party, especially when the “high crime” was doing what the Constitution requires.

The simple fact is, the opponents of Judge Barrett can’t make a case against her qualifications because they’re unassailable.

Federal judge upholds Minnesota absentee ballot extension

A federal judge Sunday night upheld an agreement that extends Minnesota’s absentee ballot counting deadline by seven days, dealing a blow to Republicans, the Associated Press reported on Monday.

In Minnesota, ballots traditionally need to be in by 8 p.m. on Election Day. With the new ruling, ballots postmarked on or before Election Day may still be counted as long as they are received within the seven-day period.

The extension was initially granted by Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon (D) in state court amid mounting concerns over voter safety during the coronavirus pandemic.

“I am committed to protecting and strengthening the security and fairness of our elections process,” Simon said in a statement.

State Rep. Eric Lucero (R) and Ramsey County GOP activist James Carson called on U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, to rule that the extension was a violation of federal law, which establishes Nov. 3 as the 2020 election date, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Under Brasel's ruling, the seven-day extension will remain in place.

Michigan sheriff defends men accused in Gov. Whitmer kidnapping plot, drawing condemnation from state AG

A sheriff in Michigan is defending some of the men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, questioning whether the men were planning a “felony arrest” in comments that drew condemnation from the state’s attorney general.

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf shared a stage with one of the men, William Null, during a May anti-lockdown rally in Grand Rapids, according to Fox 17.

Asked about his involvement with Null Thursday, Leaf appeared to downplay the seriousness of the kidnapping accusations, even suggesting the plot may have been warranted.

“Well it’s just a charge, and they say a plot to kidnap. . .are they trying to kidnap? Because a lot of people are angry with the governor and they want her arrested so, are they trying to arrest or was it a kidnap attempt?” he said.

Leaf continued: “Because you can still, in Michigan, if it’s a felony, you can make a felony arrest . . . and it doesn’t say if you’re in elected office, that you’re exempt from that arrest. So I have to look at it from that angle, and I’m hoping that’s more of what it is."

Navy veteran Joe Collins targets Democrat Maxine Waters' home in campaign ad

U.S. Navy veteran Joe Collins on Saturday released a scathing campaign ad attacking Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for living in a multi-million dollar mansion while representing a district plagued by crime and poverty.

Waters has represented the area that is now California’s 43rd District since 1991. Before that, she had served in the California State Assembly since 1976. Her home used to be within the boundaries of District 43 until redistricting shifted her neighborhood into the 37th District, which is represented by Democratic Rep. Karen Bass.

Collins, a Republican who is campaigning to replace Waters and grew up in South Los Angeles, said the crime and poverty in the area have only increased under Waters’ 44 years in public office.

“I survived a drive-by shooting in this house when I was a child,” Collins says in the video while standing outside a home in the area. “Gangs, drugs, violence, that was my upbringing. And where was Maxine Waters?”

Having served more than 13 years in the U.S. Navy and having fought in the Iraq War, Collins also criticized Waters for not fighting “for her own district here in America.”

Neighbors with opposing political views share message of unity on Facebook

Neighbors in Hinesville are taking to social media to spread a message of unity, despite their opposing political beliefs.

Patrick Underwood and Frank Scozzafva have lived in the same town and have known each other for over 30 years.

While Patrick supports Biden and Frank supports Trump, there is one thing they can both agree to vote on — respect.

When the pair caught up in town, Patrick decided to take a picture with Frank as they both sported signs of the presidential candidates they are voting for in the upcoming election.

Since the picture was posted, people from all political spectrums have chimed in to encourage more Americans to have this outlook and to treat others with respect, no matter their opinion or who they’re voting for.

Patrick says with everything going on in the world, the last thing we need is a divided country.

“I just thought about it and I said, ‘Man, we need to come together as a country cause there is a lot of stuff going on right now.'”

“You have this problem of Trump’s not gonna get in, Biden is gonna get in. But essentially, whoever wins, wins, and then we move on,” Frank added.

According to Frank, it all comes down to one message: “We’re gonna be friends no matter who wins.”

Trump campaign says Harris 'driving the bus' on court packing issue

The Trump campaign on Sunday questioned who was “driving the bus” for the Biden ticket on the issue of Supreme Court "packing" – suggesting former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate Sen. Kamala Harris is making the campaign's call.

During a call on Sunday, Trump’s deputy campaign manager Justin Clark slammed the Democratic presidential nominee for continuing to dodge questions on whether he supports adding seats to the nine-member U.S. Supreme Court, where conservatives currently hold a majority.

“His unwillingness to answer this question is obviously an answer,” Clark said. “Joe Biden was previously opposed to packing the court. The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was also opposed to court-packing.”

Clark added: “Who is in control here? Biden-Harris? Or Harris-Biden?"

Clark went on to point to comments made by Harris, D-Calif., during the primaries, in which she said she was “open to the idea” of court-packing.

“I’d just like to know who is driving the bus on court-packing,” Clark said, warning that Democrats want to “monkey around with a court that has been stable in size for over 150 years.”

“What else are they going to change the rules on to bow to the radical left-wing mob?” Clark said.

Clark’s comments come as Democrats have threatened to add justices if President Trump’s nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was tapped to fill the vacancy left by late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is confirmed ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
