77-year-old Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks on climate change and the wildfires ravaging western states from a field in Wilmington, Delaware.
Biden blamed President Trump for the wildfires caused by arsonists and failed Democrat policies that have reduced the number of controlled burns.
“If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if we have more America ablaze?” Biden said.
He added: If Trump wins again, “how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires? How many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out? How many suburbs will have been blown away in superstorms?”

The Enemy is Within
Watching Democrat-aligned radicals raze our cities over the past three months has felt like a thousand mini-Pearl Harbors -- only the enemy is within and the damage is in our backyards. While beleaguered Democrats dig their own graves as they prop up the riots, the ordeal has been exhausting, dispiriting, and frustrating for the rest of us.
Evidence of an alliance between Democrats and BLM couldn’t be more glaring. Pernicious riots have persisted, unchallenged, in Democrat strongholds with the imprimatur of untold Democrat mayors, city councils, and governors. The Democrat media delivers the news with an Orwellian blackout of the word “riot” as our cities immolate before our very eyes. The “it’s all Trump’s fault” blame game is relentlessly hawked by Democrats from Biden, Pelosi, and her minions in Congress, to state and local authorities. Democrat sympathizers in sports, entertainment, and corporate America kneel and capitulate to BLM demands with alarming ease, accede to cancellations, and willingly attend and promote mandatory re-education programs on white privilege. Most glaring is the DNC convention love fest with BLM and the shameless promotion of BLM at the DNC website.
That the violence would endure and balloon as it has, should come as no surprise. BLM never hid their incendiary Marxist agenda targeting the police, our political system, free markets, and the family -- all of which are products of white supremacy and privilege. After a month of rioting, BLM leader Hank Newsome’s threat to “burn it all down” if BLM demands are not met, is nothing compared to his closing exhortation in that June 25, 2020 interview with Martha Macallum: “I just want black liberation and black sovereignty by any means necessary.” Two months later his dreams are being realized with whites and “whiteness” in the cross-hairs.

US poverty rate fell to 10.5 percent in 2019, marking fifth straight annual decline
The official U.S. poverty rate fell in 2019 for the fifth consecutive year, according to a report from the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released Tuesday.
The U.S. poverty rate fell to 10.5 percent last year, according to the 2020 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement, dropping 1.3 percentage points from 2018’s poverty rate of 11.8 percent. The 2019 poverty rate is the lowest recorded since government estimates began in 1959.
The number of Americans in poverty also fell by 4.2 million in 2019 to a total of 34 million, according to the survey, and median household income rose by 6.8 percent from 2018 to $68,703 in 2019. The number of Americans working full time in 2019 increased by 1.2 million.
While the U.S. appeared poised to pile onto those gains in 2020, the onset of the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year wiped out nearly all of the jobs added since the Great Recession and sent the unemployment rate skyrocketing to a post-Depression high of 14.7 percent.

NYC will take longer to recover from de Blasio than 9/11, ex-NYPD commissioner Kelly predicts
New York City will take much longer to bounce back from the radical policies of Mayor Bill de Blasio than from the devastation of the 9/11 attacks, former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told Fox Business Network's "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" Friday.
Kelly, who began his second stint as police commissioner months after terrorists brought down the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, recalled that "north of Canal Street [after the attacks], restaurants were open, people were living their lives in the other boroughs of New York City.
"Now the problems of the city are all over the five boroughs," he added. "People are moving out in significant numbers. De Blasio has lost the police department. They are reluctant to take proactive measures such as they were doing just or six or eight months ago, so it's different."
Kelly told host Neil Cavuto that he is "pessimistic" that New York can bounce back in the short term, saying the current malaise brought by the coronavirus pandemic and racial unrest "has a feel or sense of being much more long-lasting."

Bret Baier DESTROYS Biden Spokesman After Showing Inability to Answer Basic Questions
Before he similarly grilled Trump 2020 Communications Director Tim Murtaugh, FNC’s Special Report anchor Bret Baier conducted a master’s class Thursday night in interviewing Biden campaign national press secretary T.J. Ducklo.
How did Baier do it? Unlike CNN and MSNBC, Baier asked basic questions that sent Ducklo into repeated tailspins, accusing Baier of being a stooge for President Trump. While his condescending and juvenile demeanor might have made CNN proud, it wasn’t pretty and further bolstered the reality of how both Biden and his aides have adopted a basement strategy and avoided tough questions.
From the start, the nearly seven-and-a-half-minute interview went off the rails as Baier led with this basic yet substantive question: “I want to start with what the former vice president specifically would have done at the end of January had he received the briefing that we know now the President received January 28.”
While it could have been a chance to show voters what Biden would have done, Ducklo cited statistics about the U.S. caseload and death count compared to the rest of the world, touted the Bob Woodward book excerpt, a study about lockdowns, and falsely claimed Trump called COVID “a hoax.” Note how none of that concerned what Biden would have done if he were president.

Michaels to hire over 16,000 seasonal workers for holiday season
Michaels is gearing up for an unpreceded busy holiday season and plans to hire more than 16,000 seasonal employees across North America.
To prep for the onslaught of orders, the company, which bills itself as the largest arts-and-crafts retail chain in North America, will seek seasonal workers across its U.S. and Canada stores and distribution centers, the company said Tuesday.
The company will held a seasonal hiring event across U.S. stores this past Saturday.
Michaels says it will hire team members across the organization. However, the arts-and-crafts store says it will also focus on strengthening its buy-online, pickup-in-store (BOPIS) team, which will work to serve shoppers in a safe way during the coronavirus pandemic.

US Prosecutors in DC Put Racial Politics Above Safety of Black Residents
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser last week unsuccessfully tried to shift the political blame to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia for the violence that she drew to the city in June by ordering the words “Black Lives Matter” painted on a city street. Her stunt failed when the U.S. attorney rebutted her claims with facts, as we pointed out here.
Now, 32 black assistant U.S. attorneys in the District’s U.S. Attorney’s Office have banded together to write a strange, 10-page policy memo to their boss—who happens to be white and a Trump appointee—that they say is meant to address “internal and external racial disparities” of the office and to “repair the relationship between the [office] and the community.”

De Blasio says Madison Square Garden, other NYC sports venues should pay more taxes
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday that he supports calls to compel the owners of local sports stadiums, including Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium, to pay more taxes to aid the city’s bid to bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic.
De Blasio, a Democrat, was asked at his daily press briefing to respond to a letter last month from nine lawmakers on the New York City Council who called for the Garden, Yankee Stadium, the Barclays Center and Citi Field to pay property taxes. The mayor said he hasn’t seen the letter and was unfamiliar with the legal specifics, but supported the concept of requiring New York’s local teams to increase their contributions.
“Let’s be clear – sports franchises have gained incredible value over the years,” de Blasio said. “They clearly have the resources. I think the history in this city and pretty much all over the country was stadium deals were not good deals for the public, by and large. Some of the more recent ones have been better, but mostly they haven’t been that good. Everything should be reevaluated especially at a point when the city is going to need resources for our recovery.”

Weed falling from the sky! 2020 is finally looking up
In a blessed bit of good news delivered this morning, apparently cannabis is falling from the sky in Tel Aviv.
Reuters and local news outlets have reported that a drone dropped packets of green leafy material from the airspace over Rabin Square, a prominent gathering spot in the Israeli city, on Thursday afternoon.
‘The time has come’
It’s unclear whether the plastic packets of weed contained actual marijuana—but the symbolism and purpose was clear. “The time has come,” said the Green Drone pro-legalization group on its website. “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the Green Drone sending you free cannabis from the skies.”
A report on Inquisitr said: “One of the men, identified only as ‘Mr. K,’ had previously said that it was his patriotic duty to rain down cannabis on the country, considering the bad mood that Israel has been in of-late.”

US bans Chinese products believed to be made by forced labor
The U.S. government on Monday announced an import ban on some items from China that it believes are produced with “state-sponsored forced labor.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued five withhold release orders on Tuesday, which are issued when the agency has reason to believe products imported may be made in whole – or part – by forced labor (including convict labor, child labor and indentured labor).
As a result, these products, are not allowed to be imported into the country.
The products are manufactured in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and include certain hair products, apparel, cotton exports and computer parts.
“By taking this action, DHS is combating illegal and inhumane forced labor, a type of modern slavery, used to make goods that the Chinese government then tries to import into the United States,” acting DHS deputy secretary Ken Cuccinelli said in a statement. “When China attempts to import these goods into our supply chains, it also disadvantages American workers and businesses.”

Welfare, Tax Rules Keep Working-Class Americans from Marrying, Experts Say
New report shows 'marriage penalties' fall hardest on the poor
The design of long-standing welfare programs likely keeps numerous working-class couples from getting hitched, a research report released Thursday by the American Enterprise Institute argues.
Those couples might otherwise get married and provide the empirically validated benefits of a married two-parent home to their children, report author and AEI scholar Bradford Wilcox argued during a Thursday panel appearance debuting the report.
Instead, Wilcox and co-panelists noted, thresholds for eligibility for certain welfare programs and tax credits only let couples access them if they keep their incomes separate, discouraging marriage. That, research further shows, perpetuates a now-yawning "marriage gap" between rich and poor, in turn perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
The report, in other words, argues that government policy has both stood in the way of marriage formation and perpetuated socioeconomic inequality, highlighting a policy concern that could galvanize lawmakers on both the left and right to act.

Reopening indoor dining at 25% capacity ‘just doesn’t work’: New Jersey Business & Industry Association president
As New York City restaurants gear up to reopen indoor dining at a quarter capacity, New Jersey Business & Industry Association President Michelle Siekerka said the coronavirus-induced limitations have proven to not be enough.
“It just doesn’t work,” she told Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto.” “Many restaurants remain closed because they didn’t have large capacity to begin with. And then complying with an executive order that limited them to 25% would be a money-losing proposition.”
Siekerka said New Jersey’s $18.2 billion restaurant industry provides more than 228,000 jobs. But only 23% of employees out of the 87% laid off in March have returned to work, which she pinned as a “huge struggle” for the industry.

Soros Fuels Massive Effort to Win Women Voters in Battleground States
Liberal billionaire George Soros is funding a multimillion-dollar effort to turn out women voters for Democrats in battleground states.
Supermajority, a progressive women's group, is launching a $10 million campaign targeting women voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Its super PAC is funded almost entirely by Democracy PAC, which is fully funded by Soros. Of the $2.5 million Supermajority has raised so far this cycle, $2 million came from Democracy PAC, Federal Election Commission records show.
Supermajority is just one of the many election projects that Soros has bankrolled this cycle through the Democracy PAC. The financier has pushed $50 million into the Democracy PAC, which is then passed off to liberal groups such as the Nancy Pelosi-linked House Majority PAC, the Chuck Schumer-linked Senate Majority PAC, Planned Parenthood Votes, and the dark money group Sixteen Thirty Fund.

YouTuber livestreams himself taking poop on Nancy Pelosi’s driveway
No Justice! No Pee?
A YouTube star appeared to relieve himself on the driveway of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco residence during a livestream on Saturday.
The video, titled “Poopalosi,” had garnered more than 19,000 views Sunday night.
In the footage, a man who identifies himself as “Armando” walks through the streets of San Francisco in search of the speaker’s house. Once there, he sets up a camera across the street and stands on what appears to be Pelosi’s driveway for several minutes, eventually saluting his viewers before squatting down to poop on the pavement.
After walking out of the frame, he says, “That was for President Trump.”

"LOCK HER UP" - ANGRY PROTESTERS DEMAND HILLARY CLINTON BE LOCKED UP FOR GOOD
Patriotic Americans who attended president Donald Trump’s rally in Nevada chanted, “Lock her up.” The chant was for Hillary Clinton who should be Rotting in jail already, because of her numerous crimes against Americans and humanity as a whole.
President Trump was met with the chants after he called Hillary Clinton a chronic “criminal.” This chant was common during president Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“You know, it’s true … She got a subpoena from the United States Congress, right, and she and her lawyer deleted 33,000 emails after she got a United States subpoena,” said president Trump.
President Trump also attacked former DNC leader Donna Brazile for feeding debate questions to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential debate.

University of Pittsburgh scientists discover antibody that 'neutralizes' virus that causes coronavirus
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have isolated “the smallest biological molecule” that “completely and specifically neutralizes” the virus that causes coronavirus.
The antibody component is 10 times smaller than a full-sized antibody, and has been used to create the drug Ab8, shared in the report published by the researchers in the journal Cell on Monday. The drug is seen as a potential preventative against SARS-CoV-2.
According to the report, the drug has been “highly effective in preventing and treating” the SARS-CoV-2 infections in mice and hamsters during tests. The drug also reportedly does not bind to human cells, which suggests it will not have negative side-effects in people.

Netflix ‘Cheer’ star Jerry Harris under FBI investigation for allegedly soliciting sex from minors: report
Jerry Harris, who appeared on the popular Netflix series “Cheer,” is reportedly being investigated by the FBI for allegedly soliciting sexually explicit photos and sex from minors, according to a report from USA Today, which cited multiple sources, on Monday.
Per the outlet, FBI agents reportedly executed a search warrant at a home in Naperville, Ill., as part of the investigation.
"The FBI is conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity in that area," Siobhan Johnson, a special agent public affairs officer, told Fox News in a statement on Monday. However, the FBI would not elaborate on specifics and did not name Harris.
The statement continued: "Department of Justice policy prevents the FBI from commenting on the existence or nonexistence of any investigations that may be occurring. There is no further information at this time."

Pollak: Democrats’ ‘War Room’ to Kill the Filibuster Aims to End the Republican Party
Democrats are becoming increasingly open about the fact that they intend to kill the Senate filibuster if they win the elections in November.
News reports Friday revealed that former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) — who took the first step by killing the filibuster for some presidential nominees in 2013 — is supporting the effort.
Nuking the filibuster should be the “first item of business,” Reid said.
The filibuster rule requires a supermajority — 60 votes — for the Senate to close debate on any particular bill and move to a formal vote. It is a rule that prevents the Senate majority from passing whatever it wants without at least consulting with the minority party. It has been a force for moderation, and has encouraged dialogue between the parties.
While both sides have been frustrated with it — and President Donald Trump has said Republicans should get rid of it — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has retained it, knowing the GOP will not govern forever.
But Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has hinted that he would support removing the filibuster, if Republicans oppose whatever Democrats want to do. That has given a green light to radicals within the party to begin their plans — and advertise them.
