The Left Secretly Preps for MAGA Violence After Election Day By Sam Stein The Daily Beast September 8, 2020 Last week, a coalition of leading progressive groups gathered on Zoom to begin organizing for what they envision as the post-Election Day political apocalypse scenario. Put together by the Fight Back Table—an initiative launched after the 2016 election to get a constellation of lefty organizations to work more closely together—the meeting dealt with the operational demands expected if the November election ends without a clear outcome or with a Joe Biden win that Donald Trump refuses to recognize.

Juan Williams: Swamp creature at the White House By Juan Williams, opinion contributor TheHill September 7, 2020 For all my criticism of President Trump, I’ve got to be honest — I loved the fireworks. Fireworks swirled around the Washington Monument after Trump accepted the GOP nomination on the White House lawn on Aug. 27. They spelled “TRUMP” in the night sky. If you are reading this column years from now, you might think this is a parody. You can’t believe that any president got away with turning the White House into a gaudy stage for partisan politics. Did…
Judge orders resumption of diversity visas By Justin Wise TheHill September 7, 2020 A federal judge in Washington has reportedly ordered the Trump administration to temporarily resume issuing diversity visas to immigrants through a lottery system. “To be clear, there is no statutory requirement that every available diversity visa be issued each year, ” U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, wrote in in his decision on Friday, The Associated Press reported. “But that does not mean that the State Department could effectively extinguish the diversity program for a given year by simply sitting on its hands…

NBA Playoffs Down 27% Despite Mark Cuban, Media Spin-Job OutKick September 6, 2020 The NBA’s two-year ratings tank just took tanking up another notch. As pointed out last night, year-over-year, the first round of the playoffs was down an eye-popping 27%. Furthermore, the first round’s 1.94 million average is down 40% from two seasons ago, the last time LeBron James participated in the playoffs. Bizarrely, NBA ratings were the top sports topic on Twitter Thursday. For the first time since the NFL’s 2016 decline, sports media added the ratings beat to its fading arsenal. Along with spin-master Mark…
Democrats are leading in the polls. That means it’s time for them to panic. By Alex Seitz-Wald NBC News September 6, 2020 WASHINGTON — The summer is coming to the close of an even-numbered year and Democrats are up in the polls, which means it’s time for them to freak out about the upcoming election.

Nominee Joe Biden…
