WHO? BidenWatch for September 14, 2020. “Biden loses Hispanic voters to Trump in Florida (and elsewhere), prompting Bloomberg to promise to airdrop money into the state on his behalf, how Biden has screwed up everything he’s ever tried, and proof positive Slow Joe needs a teleprompter for even the most friendly basement interviews.”

PLAY STUPID GAMES, WIN STUPID RIOTS: Cop Shoots Latino Man in Self-Defense. BLM Rioters’ Response: ‘Death to Cops.’
VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Mostly Peaceful Rioters Attempt to Peacefully Burn Down Police Station.
Insanity Wrap needs to know: What’s wrong with young people in our military today?
Answer: It’s that they’re acting like young people in the military, according to the Puritan Progressives.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.
Learn what it takes to get a riot thrown in your stupid honor.
Communism comes to San Francisco (and takes charge).
Communism comes to Colorado Springs (and promptly goes to jail).
And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.
Update: Link was broken before — sorry! All fixed now.
A SANE REACTION TO AN INSANE YEAR: Swing States See Gun Sales Boon, Activists Look to Capitalize. “A broader look at monthly sales data, as measured by FBI background checks, confirms swing state voters’ eagerness to arm themselves in 2020. The nine states at the epicenter of the presidential race between President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden each saw historic seasonally adjusted gun sales in June—larger in all cases than the record-setting sales of March—a sign of surging demand for firearms in the wake of rioting and protests that have turned violent.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Barack Obama Is the Inspiration for BLM’s Cop Assassination Attempts. “Barack Obama is the beating heart of the Black Lives Matter movement. Obama’s embrace of the false narrative about Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri helped birth BLM.”
COLORADO: Socialist CdeBaca offers childish excuses for breaking campaign finance laws.
True to her socialist core, Denver Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca thinks campaign finance rules apply to everyone but herself.
Colorado Politics reports CdeBaca’s campaign broke the law and took contributions well above the legal limit of $1,000 and failed to report contributions above $500.
Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca’s campaign violated election finance laws last year when vying for District 9, a seat she won in a runoff election against the well-funded, two-term incumbent Albus Brooks.
CdeBaca’s excuse for accepting more than the legal limit? It’s no big deal because it only happened 20 times.
For not reporting contributions? It’s hard, she explained, because there were a lot of donors who gave her money for the first time or gave her money before, and there was just a lot of them. Gosh. Go bother someone else, she concluded.
Prior to that: Leftist Denver councilwoman cheers idea of infecting Trump rallies with coronavirus.
Elect stupid candidates, get stupid elected officials.

Search for “American Inventor” on Google Image Search.

CHARLES LIPSON: What Bahrain’s Deal with Israel Really Means.
President Trump’s foreign policy is significantly different from that of his predecessors. Unlike George W. Bush, who fought a land war in Iraq post 9/11 and deployed thousands of troops throughout the region, Trump is pulling back. He is instead emphasizing the geopolitical threat from China while withdrawing troops from the Middle East, including both Syria and Iraq, where Iran is a major presence.
Second, unlike Barack Obama, Trump is not seeking a ‘more balanced’, friendly relationship with Iran and a less supportive one with Saudi Arabia and Israel. Trump is vocally opposed to Iran’s mullahs. He is determined to isolate them diplomatically, punish them economically, and block them strategically. His policy to prevent them from building a nuclear weapon is not a joint agreement, like the one signed by the Obama administration and its European partners, but military deterrence and covert attacks on Iran’s nuclear program. Trump is openly supportive of both Israel and Saudi Arabia. He was willing to move the US embassy to Jerusalem despite opposition from the Arabists in the State Department, the Democratic party, the vast majority of foreign-policy experts from Boston to Washington, as well as and nearly all of Europe. They predicted huge pushback across the Muslim world. They were wrong. Trump was right.
Change you can believe in, to coin a phrase.

I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THERE’S ANYTHING THEY WANT TO PROTECT: Kenosha Rioters Destroyed ‘the Very Neighborhoods That They Want to Protect.’
DECOUPLING: Huawei closing enterprise hardware division in the UK. “ Huawei has been on the US ‘non-entity’ list since last year, a status that prevents US companies from doing business with it without a licence. This effective blacklisting has limited Huawei’s access to key US technologies such as the Android operating system, with Samsung recently revealing it would end sales of smartphone components to Huawei.”
Even if Huawei weren’t a Communist front corporation, it is certainly a vampire corporation that gained its strength by sucking Nortel dry via corporate espionage.
I’D RATHER NOT HAVE CCP-APPROVED ALGOS ON MY PHONE: Inside TikTok’s killer algorithm. “TikTok concedes that its ability to nail users’ preferences so effectively means that its algorithm can produce ‘filter bubbles,’ reinforcing users’ existing preferences rather than showing them more varied content, widening their horizons, or offering them opposing viewpoints.“
On second thought, there doesn’t appear to be anything all that special about TikTok’s algo, which seems to operate just like any other social media algo.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Memories of 9/11 During A Different Kind of Painful Time for America. “As I look around America in 2020 I wonder how we would react to another 9/11 if, God forbid, something like that happened again soon.”
BETTER, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH; END THE LOCKDOWNS: 884,000 Americans filed new unemployment claims last week.
AT THIS POINT THE NFL WOULD HAVE TO GENERATE FAKE ENTHUSIASM EVEN WITHOUT THE COVID RESTRICTIONS: NFL games will have artificial crowd noise specific to each stadium.
