Joe Biden's fracking flip-flop factory (Plagiarism at no extra cost)

Joe Biden's flip-flop factory worked overtime yesterday . During his speech in Pittsburgh, Biden emphatically stated "I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again: I am not banning fracking no matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me."

Joe thinks we're stupid. People paying attention know that he's repeatedly stated that he's willing to ban fracking. This video highlights what he said yesterday in Pittsburgh with things he said during the Democrats' presidential debates:
[Video no longer available]
C'mon man, Joe. That video doesn't depict President Trump lying about Joe Biden's ever-shifting positions on fracking. That's Mr. Biden repeatedly flip-flopping on the issue of fracking. Blaming President Trump for things Mr. Biden said himself isn't a portrait in accountability. It's a portrait in excuse-making. Coming to think of it, Mr. Biden dishonestly accused President Trump for not taking responsibility for President Trump's decisions.

As disgusting as Mr. Biden's flip-flops were, they weren't the worst part of Mr. Biden's speech. Mollie Hemingway's article highlights Mr. Biden plagiarizing Vice President Pence's speech. First, here's what Biden said yesterday:
Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting.

Next, this is what Vice President Pence said in his acceptance speech last Thursday:
President Trump and I will always support the right of Americans to peaceful protest, but rioting and looting is not peaceful protest; tearing down statues is not free speech. And those who do so will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Joe Biden's plagiarism knows no limits, as this videotape proves:
[Video no longer available]
Let's summarize these videotapes. What they prove is that Joe Biden is disgustingly dishonest, a serial plagiarist and a candidate that's willing to say anything when he's in political hot water. Joe Biden didn't deliver his speech on riots because stopping rioting is a priority for him. Biden delivered that speech because a bunch of Democrat consultants told him he was slipping in the battleground states because he'd ignored the rioting.

Joe Bidewn is a cheap fake, a say-anything career politician. Democrats prefer that type of politician.

I was for it before I was against it, er I mean I was, umm Joe 30330.

Prediction: Joe Biden won't visit Kenosha

Yesterday, Joe Biden had difficulty reading a prepared speech off a teleprompter:


What was Biden trying to say? I literally can't decipher him. When he squints, it's when he couldn't read off the teleprompter. That was bad. This is frightening:


"Covid has taken this year, just since the outbreak, has taken more than 100 years, look, here's, the lives, it's just, it's ju-, I mean, you think about it."

If Biden went to Kenosha, he'd have to answer unscripted questions. That's the Democrats' worst nightmare:


His staffers got him out of that Pittsburgh setting fast so he didn't have to answer questions. How could he handle the responsibilities of being president? I don't think he could.

Is it a campaign like Kerry waged against Bush? Biden could hardly be worse as a president than Trump, but Trump's buster is better to a certain cut of the population. Biden and Harris are stable while Trump is not, and Pence is a boring ideologue without much attractiveness.

It will come down to turnout and Biden has done and offers nothing for progressives. Yet he anticipates their vote. Progressives are not energized by Joe Biden. He amounts to Trump, but without the instability.

The thought among party bosses seems to be that progressives can be written off, (have to be to keep donor cash-flow since Biden's promised nothing will fundamentally change), so the Dem inner party types have committed to depending upon minority registration and GOTV plus disgruntled 2016 Trump voters, hoping that will be enough.

Progressives and the young are left out of the tent aside from lip service. And Republicans offer them less, so that those voting will be doing the same ol' lesser evil bit.

Has anyone any sound predictive data on turnout, given the pandemic and mail-in voting? I have not seen any good tea leaf readings online.

Response 1.1 by Gary Gross at 01-Sep-20 03:27 PM
Biden would be significantly worse than President Trump. If you want to argue that President Trump's policies are bad, then explain why wages for people who don't have college degrees were going up faster than white collar wages under Trump. Next, explain why you'd oppose shrinking income inequality. That's what was happening. Deal with it.

After that, explain why achieving the lowest unemployment rates for African-Americans in US history is negative. Then explain achieving the lowest unemployment rate for Hispanics in history is negative.

This election won't be close like the 'experts' are predicting. Trump's voters would walk slowly over hot coals to vote for him.

Comment 2 by John Helgeson at 01-Sep-20 10:30 AM
The speech was delivered in an empty warehouse to several camera crews. About 50 people outside the warehouse. "Dynamic" campaign event!

Comment 3 by eric z at 02-Sep-20 12:48 PM
Thanks, Gary and John. It will be interesting to see how each SD in Minnesota trends in the 2020 election. Do either of you see a young voter turnout, and if so, do you argue it would help and not hurt Trump?

My guess: Young and progressives, with a big overlap there, may be disenchanted with Biden and the lock-'em-up prosecutor. She's made some late transitions, but it is Biden's ticket and Biden is still Republican-lite.

He's been that his entire career. What is interesting, Anita Hill's name seems to have gotten sucked into a black hole. She's not getting mentioned. Similarly, Mary Trump seems to have gotten no traction.

Lincoln Project is using Michael Cohen in one spot ad. That seems strange. He seems to have an ax to grind against Trump. Stone got a pardon, Cohen has a book to promote.

Misreading Minnesota in 2020

This Politico article is what happens when outsiders write about Minnesota in the context of this year's presidential election. The first tip-off that the reporter is either ill-informed or dishonest comes when he says "Interviews with more than a dozen officials and strategists from both parties in recent days depict a state in which Joe Biden is leading, but where the president is making inroads in rural Minnesota . " That's BS.

In 2016, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by a 54%-38% margin in Minnesota's Eighth District. That year, In 2016, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by a 61%-31% margin in Minnesota's 7th District. Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by a 52%-38% margin in Minnesota's First District. Finally, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by a 59%-38% margin in Minnesota's Sixth District.

The point is that President Trump already dominates rural Minnesota. When you dominate each of the rural districts, you're past the "making inroads" stage. I agree with the writer on this:
He's still preoccupied with his near-miss four years later. "One more speech, I would have won," Trump told a crowd recently in Mankato, a small college town in southern Minnesota. "It was so close."

This time, his campaign has poured staff into the state, creating an operational footprint that Democrats only recently eclipsed. He reserved millions of dollars in TV time for a fall ad blitz, and seized on protests following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the state's liberal stronghold, as a springboard for his broader law-and-order campaign.

President Trump won't win the Twin Cities vote. He doesn't need to, though he needs to do well in the suburbs. President Trump's law-and-order message will play well in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the suburbs. School choice is shaping up to be the sleeper issue in the Twin Cities. If President Trump pounds that message, he'll have a strong shot at winning Minnesota.

The Pelosi Shutdown?

We are likely just 28+ days away from Nancy Pelosi's Shutdown. She's been in a fowl mood all year for multiple reasons. It started with impeachment, which helped Republicans. Next, Ms. Pelosi ripped up her copy of President Trump's State of the Union Address:
[Video no longer available]
After that, Pelosi told people to visit Chinatown even though COVID had started spreading human-to-human:
[Video no longer available]
Next, Pelosi tried stuffing the COVID relief bill with lots of Democrat wish list items. She wound up getting a little extra funding for the Kennedy Center. When the COVID 2.0 relief bill was passed out of the Senate, Pelosi got caught on TV talking about her favorite ice creams:
[Video no longer available]
Next, Pelosi thought that she'd hurt Trump with the George Floyd Riots. That turned out to be wishful thinking. Law and order turned out to be a majore net plus for President Trump. It still is. She's still trying to play hardball over the next COVID relief bill. Thus far, that hasn't gone well for Ms. Pelosi.

Knowing that Ms. Pelosi a) often misreads the room and b) doesn't like getting humiliated, there's a high profile bill that needs to pass just after the first presidential debate -- the bill to fund the government for the next year. I'm betting she's willing to shut down the government. In fact, I'm betting she's planning on blaming the shutdown on President Trump.

The problem with that strategy is that President Trump, Sen. McConnell, Secretary Mnuchin and Chief of Staff Meadows are likely anticipating this gambit. They'll have a reasonable option available. When Pelosi tries blaming her shutdown on Trump, he'll be able to take to the world's biggest megaphone and highlight his plan. It won't take long for congressional Democrats in swing districts to bail on Pelosi.

Without a PR stunt, Pelosi is likely to lose her speaker's gavel. What does she have to lose at this point?

Gary, you know McConnell is the big DC roadblock.

Pelosi? Just wanting a tiny bit more justice for those regular people who are hurting in the Trump-pandemic-economic crisis/meltdown.

Where Nancy did get a comeuppance, Markey won his Mass. Dem primary contest against Joe KENNEDY III. KENNEDY had Pelosi's endorsement. It failed to deliver. Just like Nancy on Medicare for All. Except in the latter case it is a factor of will, not of insufficient touch-of-grace power.

Comment 2 by Chad Q at 03-Sep-20 06:34 AM
Nancy just wants a tiny bit more justice? You mean like doing whatever the hell she wants during a "pandemic" shutdown in CA?

Nancy and the dems couldn't give a shit about the plight of the unemployed workers. All they are to the dems is another vote for power and if they (dems) get that power, the dems will gives them (unemployed workers) crumbs.

Comment 3 by eric z at 03-Sep-20 08:39 AM
Thanks, Chad. You just put your finger on the problem of the two party stranglehold on the nation. Both parties are as you say. Run out of DC by consultants, lobbyists, and bribers. Mammon rules each party.

Trump's priceless secret weapon

Tons of bandwidth has been consumed talking about President Trump. I won't waste time talking about who has momentum, who's getting defensive or the usual horserace chatter. Instead, I'll write about the important stuff, as reported by Salena Zito, the best grassroots political reporter of my lifetime.

Salena's latest report highlights why President Trump will win this presidential election. The article starts by saying "On Nov. 9, 2016, Rick Potter was driving to the airport, having spent the last two weeks in Western Pennsylvania campaigning for Donald Trump, when his phone rang. Jerry Morgan, a longtime Republican grassroots strategist, was on the line. "Potter, I'm glad I caught you," he said. "I've been up all night long, analyzing the results from Pennsylvania. We won by less than 1 percent, 40,000 votes. I'm absolutely convinced if the Mighty American Strike Force had not been here for the past 15 days Trump would not have carried Pennsylvania."

The RNC's GOTV operation is massive. This time 4 years ago, the RNC supplied the GOTV troops. This time around, President Trump and then-Campaign Manager Brad Parscale started putting together a 2,000,000-volunteer army for getting out the vote back around the start of the Mueller investigation. This is the nonglamorous part of campaigns but it's the most important part of winning campaigns.

It isn't that Democrats don't have a GOTV operation. It's that the Mighty American Strike Force has a different method for campaigning:
But Potter believes his group is different. "There is something that sets our volunteers apart from other volunteers and that is their personal passion," he said. "They are willing to pay their own way to travel to these states, pay for their own hotels, and get up at the crack of dawn to make the calls and knock the doors sometimes for 18 hours of every day for 15 days. That kind of commitment shines through when they talk to people they are trying to persuade."

President Trump is a different type of campaigner, too. Nothing about him says 'typical politician.' Everything about him says 'let's get things done.' In a nation that's thirsty for someone to roll up their sleeves and put the American people first, President Trump isn't a difficult product to sell. That's why, I think, why President Trump always attracts big crowds.

Everything about Trump says different things to me than to you, Gary.

He may get four more, because of the Biden cramdown Clyburn and the others engineered against Bernie on Super Tuesday, and because he is a career politician with a record more Republican than progressive. But my guess is Trump's record so far of instability and lying will have Biden winning.

We wait. We see.

Response 1.1 by Gary Gross at 06-Sep-20 08:16 PM
Biden is whoever he needs to be to whichever group he's talking to. If he's talking to businessmen, he's a moderate. If he's talking to activists, he's a hardliner. At least with Bernie, he's got a spine.

Comment 2 by eric z at 03-Sep-20 08:43 AM
More on point: It does seem that on a nationwide level the GOP has more strength in its GOTV. From pulpits to door knocks they get turnout. If there is a heavy turnout Dems can win, but Joe Biden inspiring a heavy turnout is difficult to imagine. He seems to mimic the John Kerry presidential campaign. Without the swiftboat.

Response 2.1 by Gary Gross at 06-Sep-20 08:13 PM
Eric, I agree with you on the GOTV & Biden. The Kerry comparison seems apt.

Nancy Pelosi's elitism is showing

When Nancy Pelosi ignored San Francisco's laws, she essentially said that laws are for the little people . Ms. Pelosi's elitist attitude disgusts most people who follow politics. It's an attitude that's the opposite of Newt Gingrich's attitude.

Part of Speaker Gingrich's Contract With America. Included in Speaker Gingrich's Contract With America is this item:
require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress

That law was repealed in 2009, when Pelosi was Speaker, Harry Reid was Senate Majority Leader and Barack Obama was president. Apparently, Democrats think that it's a terrible idea to require the ruling class to live by the laws that they impose on the rest of society. When Republicans restore unified GOP government this November, their first task should be to restore that law. This is why that law is needed:
[Video no longer available]
After lecturing the people about mandating wearing a mask in public, Nancy Pelosi ignored science. She didn't wear a mask during a hair appointment to a salon that's closed to the little people. Rather than being repentant, Ms. Pelosi is demanding an apology:
[Video no longer available]
Nancy Pelosi won't get dragged into court for violating San Francisco's COVID laws. Apparently, people of privilege aren't subject to that scrutiny. (Whatever happened to "Nobody's above the law, not even the President?") Democrat TV flacks are defending her, which is the equivalent of defending the indefensible.

What Ms. Pelosi did was thoroughly reprehensible. She did what others aren't allowed to do. Further, Ms. Pelosi sent the unmistakable message that the salon is open for her convenience but the salon owner wasn't allowed to open and earn a living. What's worst, though, is that Pelosi then went on MSDNC and lectured President Trump for doing what she just did.

Ms. Pelosi is a reprehensible, disgusting politician. As the most powerful Democrat in Washington, DC, she's treated laws as optional for herself but required for the little people. It's time to throw her out of the Speaker's office and replace her with Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy actually cares about people, something that Ms. Pelosi doesn't do.

Introducing The Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act

If elected, Stearns County Commissioner Candidate Jeff Johnson plans to introduce "The Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act" for consideration. [In the interest of full disclosure, I proofread the article. No substantive changes were made in that process.] Here's the content of Jeff Johnson's proposal:

Jeff Johnson Makes a Proposal for a State Sanctioned Advanced Gun Training Program for Permit Holders

St. Cloud resident Jeff Johnson and 4th district Stearns County commissioner candidate would like to see the Minnesota Citizens Personal Protection Act of 2003 brought to the next level. 'Prior to 2003, critics argued that passing the personal protection act would turn Minnesota into the wild west. It didn't happen. Critics argued that law abiding permit holders couldn't be trusted. With rare exceptions, this also didn't happen,' Johnson said. With seemingly countless laws on the book and proposals for more 'gun control' legislation that have little to no effect on criminals, Johnson believes it's time to focus on one segment of the population that can directly help the public and indirectly help the police...law abiding permit holders. 'Gun control is a misnomer. It isn't gun control that is the root problem. It's personal responsibility control: or the lack of it.'

Limits of the Current Law

Although the Minnesota Citizens Personal Protection Act of 2003 provides qualified and properly vetted citizens the means to legally carry a firearm, it does not provide training that would qualify the holder to proficiently use a firearm in a violent encounter. 'Shooting at a stationary target on a range in a controlled environment is very different than a sudden, highly dynamic close-range encounter with an assailant that lasts only a minute,' Johnson said. 'The fact that the Minnesota permit is valid for five years with no proficiency requirement during that time allows the holder's decision-making and shooting skills to significantly degrade. To carry responsibility means that permit holders will continually practice and refine their skills which takes a serious time commitment.'

Introducing Part Two: The Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act

Johnson's proposal, the Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act has some similarities to the Minnesota Enhanced Driver License. 'It's the next logical level. The enhanced Driver License gives the holder additional privileges,' Johnson said. 'I am not advocating the enhanced protection program should be a requirement for all Minnesota permit holders although it would be highly recommended.' In researching the idea for the enhanced protection act, Johnson noted the success of the Federal Air Marshal program for US airline pilots that arose from the ashes of 9/11. 'Airline pilots who want to participate in the Federal Air Marshal program go through very intensive training appropriate to the airline industry. The Minnesota enhanced protection program would have a strong emphasis on armed encounters including active shooters, rioting encounters, home invasions, and defending others in close proximity.

Why Now?

The world has become a much more dangerous place. Gun confiscation programs have failed miserably in curtailing crime. Gun free zones are not a deterrent to criminals. Gun free zones invite criminals into stores and other businesses. With looting and subsequent violent riots in Minneapolis and the mini riots in St. Cloud, it is time to give law abiding citizens additional training that can save lives. In St. Cloud, an assailant at the Crossroads Mall was stopped by an off-duty law enforcement officer who was well trained. Undoubtedly, the best-case scenario encounter with law enforcement was achieved. If a non-proficient permit to carry holder had to respond, the outcome might have been disastrous. By comparison, an enhanced protection program certificate holder would have been equipped with advanced training.

According to Johnson, 'I think the Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act is a good idea. A pilot program could be developed in Stearns County because there seems to be no shortage of sex trafficking, shootings, and other criminal activities. As an inventor and patent holder, I learned that some of my ideas are great and others are not.' Johnson argues that all political office holders and candidates should be required to come up with at least one innovative idea that will help their constituents.

Questions & Answers

Does the Enhanced Protection program provide Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST) that Minnesota law enforcement candidates complete?

No. It is envisioned that some instructors will be current or retired law enforcement officers so there may be elements of the curriculum that have POST attributes. Law enforcement instructors will emphasize what can and cannot be done by graduates in the enhanced protection program. The rights, privileges and responsibilities for program graduates are lower than law enforcement officer training.

Who would qualify to teach the enhanced protection program?

The program would use instructors who have a strong handgun background from civilian and military law enforcement. Other instructors (NRA instructors, criminal behavior specialists, etc.) can be used in various components of the curriculum under the supervision of primary law enforcement/military instructors.

Does the Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act deputize permit holders?

No. Permit holders who complete the enhanced protection program are not deputized. It is assumed that a sheriff would initially deputize recently retired law enforcement officers however enhanced program graduates could put themselves voluntarily on a list of availability for their local sheriff to consider deputizing if needed.

How would the Minnesota Citizens Enhanced Protection Act be different from the current training received by permit holders?

The current permit to carry program can be completed in one weekend. The initial enhanced protection program will be much longer (2 to 4 weeks) and would have additional course work. The enhanced program would have an extensive simulation and shooting component. Part of the enhanced protection program could have a specialization component based on the student's needs. For example, a student in the program may be a retired homeowner who desires intensive training in surviving a violent home invasion attack. Another student may be a business owner who would like training in defending a business against looters. A specialization could be a female-only class that provides realistic training involving one on one situations like being ambushed in a parking lot. Private armed security firms and armored car companies may have an interest in a specialization unique to their discipline.
Are there re-currency requirements for enhanced protection program graduates?
Yes. Unlike the Minnesota Citizens Personal Protection Act of 2003 that only requires recertification every 5 years, the enhanced program would have continuing education requirements that would need to be met much more frequently to remain certified.
Who would pay for the enhanced protection program?
The student who enrolls in the program would be responsible for program costs.
Are there or could there be any privileges for enhanced protection program graduates?
Yes. Enhanced protection program graduates may be allowed to carry concealed in other environments normally off limits to regular permit holders.

Is this the same Jeff Johnson who ran for Governor? Now a Stearns County resident? Or is it a different person?

Response 1.1 by Gary Gross at 06-Sep-20 08:12 PM
No it isn't. This Jeff Johnson lives in St. Cloud & served as the City Councilmember for St. Cloud's 4th Ward.

Comment 2 by Steve Baklaich at 13-Oct-20 04:19 PM
Under Minnesota law a permit holder has a duty to retreat. Would the Enhanced permittee be exempt from that requirement? and Do you have a State Legislator partner who would introduce a bill in St. Paul?

Comment 3 by Miller Bruce at 31-Oct-20 08:02 AM
interesting Idea .... and I am ALWAY in favor of improving education ....

.

Unfortunately I am afraid that this would only become another cash cow for business teaching instruction. and that while it WOULD HAVE EDUCATIONAL BENEFITs ..... it would not help those whom complete of such a course --- ie it would not provide any additonal legal protection for citizens who feel the wrath of the legal system should they have to protect themselves ...

in fact NON completion - could very well backfire and could be used AGAINST the average citizen ....

IF you could add some sort of additional legal protections / standings for those that complete the course then I do think this would be a great thing... with bi-yearly renewals that would keep certification current ...

unfortunately as with most efforts it is those that are against the 2nd amendment that will not allow this to be enacted in any meaningful way ... or may use it to nullify what rights we already have .....

So While I applaud your attempts to move forward I also have serious concerns about the distortions of our rights and those that would attempt to take our rights away from us

thank you for your efforts. in this and your stance in general as I have followed your stance to protect citizens and provide logic in government .... please know it is appreciated!
