Not only is Biden ducking American voters but the mass media are also failing to report the anarchy and rioting taking place as well as hiding Biden's mental issues.. That said, we are now entering the period when the undecided, and even some decided, voters are beginning to get serious about who they will vote for and I am told there is a 13% undecided vote out there.
I also believe Biden is worried about his hold on the black vote and that will possibly seriously impact his VP selection.
Democrat politicians are also in a denying mode and someone should purchase a ticket for Nadler to visit Seattle and, while there, rent him a car so he can drive to Portland. If that does not work he needs to see an optometrist.
Trump is caught in a cross firestorm caused by feckless and cowardly Democrat Mayors. There is really nothing effective he can do about ending the anarchy taking place in our major cities. If he takes serious action there will be deaths yet, on other hand, it is his legal obligation to protect Americans from internal as well as external enemies.
I believe if the rioting and destruction continues it will be met by citizens who are fed up and want to take America back from the thugs and rioters who have one goal - chaos.
Perhaps we are nearing the time when "deplorable" members of the NRA, whose aim is quite accurate, should take over. It is increasingly evident that hatred of Trump comes at a price which is being paid by shop owners who once lived in peaceful neighborhoods and cities.
Stay tuned, the worst is yet to come, I fear.
This is encouraging:

Margaret Sanger Gets Canceled
By William McGurn.

Planned Parenthood disavows her ‘racist legacy’ but continues carrying it out.
Margaret Sanger has been morally promoted to the rank of Confederate general. It comes courtesy of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, which will remove Sanger’s name from its Manhattan clinic because her “racist legacy” and “deep belief in eugenic ideology” can no longer be denied.
“The removal of Margaret Sanger’s name from our building is both a necessary and overdue step to reckon with our legacy and acknowledge Planned Parenthood’s contributions to historical reproductive harm within communities of color,” wrote Karen Seltzer, the chapter’s chairman.
What might that “reproductive harm” include? During a National Day of Mourning last summer, Catherine Davis of the Restoration Project, a black organization dedicated to promoting the sanctity of life and rebuilding families, offered some perspective. The estimated 20 million African-American abortions since Roe v. Wade in 1973, she noted, is more than America’s entire black population in 1960.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that non-Hispanic black women account for the greatest share of all U.S. abortions, 38%, despite being only 13% of the population. New York City’s Bureau of Vital Statistics reports that for 2017, the most recent year for which it has data, there were almost as many black abortions as live births. This disparity remains an issue polite society won’t touch—so outside the pro-life community it breaks through only when someone like Kanye West brings it up.
In 2009 Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg kicked up a storm when she said that behind the Roe decision she thought “there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” She later clarified, saying she wasn’t endorsing the eugenic motivation she ascribed to Roe—just pointing to concerns about overpopulation at the time. Whatever the intentions, abortion’s consequences have manifestly affected different populations differently.
“Planned Parenthood does a large percentage of its abortion business in minority neighborhoods,” says Kay James, president of the Heritage Foundation and founder of Black Americans for Life. “Some employees may believe they are helping women, but whether they know it or not, they are doing the work of white supremacists, which is eliminating an alarming number of black people before they are born.”
African-American women such as Mrs. James have featured prominently in the pro-life movement from the beginning. Mildred Jefferson, the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, was a founder of the National Right to Life Committee. Alveda King, founder of Civil Rights for the Unborn, is a niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Democrat Katrina Jackson is a pro-life leader in the Louisiana Senate. The same press that fawned overMrs. James) ensures that women like these remain invisible. Faye Wattleton when she was heading Planned Parenthood (and famously refused to debate
And what about Clarence Thomas? The Supreme Court last year let stand a lower-court ruling that threw out an Indiana law prohibiting abortions done solely for reasons of race, sex or disability—in other words, for eugenic reasons. Justice Thomas was derided for an opinion pointing out that “Sanger’s arguments about the eugenic value of birth control in securing ‘the elimination of the unfit’ apply with even greater force to abortion.” He went on to say how abortion has proved a “disturbingly effective” eugenic tool: not only in the disproportionate number of black abortions in the U.S. but in the hundreds of thousands of pregnancies terminated in Asia because they were girls and the near elimination of Down syndrome births in Iceland. The court, he warned, can’t dodge the issue forever.
As it turns out, neither can Planned Parenthood. Its removal of Sanger’s name raises all sorts of awkward questions. Will Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi return their Margaret Sanger Awards? Will Bill de Blasio insist on keeping a Manhattan square named for Sanger? What about the bust of Sanger in the National Portrait Gallery?
No one can expect Planned Parenthood to reconsider its support for abortion. But if it means what it says about holding “long overdue dialogues” with “communities of color,” how about a public conversation with African-Americans who believe that black women struggling with unintended pregnancies ought to have more hopeful options than simply getting rid of their unborn children?
Plainly the cancel culture that has now taken down Margaret Sanger is not up to the job, because canceling is less about coming to terms with history than erasing it.
“I believe many African-American pro-lifers share my view that removing Sanger’s name from buildings isn’t the way for Planned Parenthood to reckon her legacy,” says Mrs. James. “It should be about reckoning with the ongoing part of her work, in terms of the Planned Parenthood clinics in our neighborhoods. If we’re being honest about legacies, isn’t that the conversation we should be having?”

I Survived Cancellation at Princeton
By
It was a close call, but I won’t be investigated for criticizing a faculty ‘open letter’ signed by hundreds.
Now is the time to debate with renewed vigor existential questions of what counts as justice and how to fashion an equitable society. But the stifling of dissent is impeding the search for answers and driving people who disagree still further apart. Because students like to push boundaries and professors like to argue, colleges and universities are a crucible.
Take the university where I teach, Princeton. The campus—or at least the online campus, in the age of the coronavirus—has been in uproar since early July over a letter of demands to the administration signed by hundreds of my faculty colleagues, and especially over my response to that letter. I was immediately denounced on social media and condemned publicly by my department and the university president. At the same time, the university spokesman announced ominously that the administration would be “looking into the matter further.” On July 14, the Journal’s editorial board commented: “Princeton is demonstrating how a lack of leadership enables the cancel culture.”It is therefore gratifying to report that Princeton’s leadership has done the right thing. I learned recently that I am not under investigation. The story of how I survived cancellation should be of interest to others, since I have no doubt that many more people, from once-obscure professors to public figures, will be vilified and in some cases materially punished for thought crimes.
In my response to the open letter, I agreed with some of my colleagues’ demands but objected to others, including some that are illegal (giving financial rewards specifically to faculty based on race) or, in my view, immoral (creating a new faculty committee to investigate research for traces of racism and discipline those responsible).
These demands deserve attention, not least because I believe that my colleagues are, for the most part, sensible people who are striving to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, heat over my use of the phrase “terrorist organization” to describe a defunct student group called the Black Justice League—whose members targeted and smeared fellow undergraduates for disagreeing with them—has triumphed over light: Neither my colleagues’ substantive demands nor my objections have received the attention they deserve.The president of Princeton, Christopher Eisgruber, told a student newspaper that I had violated my obligation to exercise free speech “responsibly,” stating that he “personally and strongly” objected to my “false description” of the defunct student group. Four colleagues in my department, none of whom have been in touch with me directly, used the Princeton Classics website to denounce my language as “abhorrent” and made the astonishing claim that I had placed “Black colleagues, students, and alums at serious risk.” Some students and alumni went after me as well. And that’s to say nothing of the general vitriol online.
I emphatically do not want anyone to come away with the impression that I feel victimized. Yes, I’m bruised and angry, and sad because so many people who privately say they agree with me are too frightened to state their opinions publicly. But everyone has the right to free speech—my critics and I equally. I am certain that the university president was motivated by a concern for the Princeton community, as I was. We were both defending people we believe have been wronged. Each of us has every right to do this, and while we disagree about what constitutes offensive rhetoric, this is not a scandal. It should be normal for people with differing views to criticize each other in a civil fashion.
I believe my blunt words were justified. I also understand why some were offended by them. I wrote in good faith, expecting that my response would contribute to a necessary discussion on campus—even more necessary than I had realized, I now see. I also wrote in the expectation that my right to express my opinion would be protected under the legally enforceable guarantees of free speech known as the University of Chicago principles, adopted by vote of the Princeton faculty in 2015 and set forth in the university’s regulations.
It was therefore shocking to read that the university would be “looking into” what I had said. As Alex Morey of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education wrote a few days ago, “Princeton’s suggestion alone that such action might be forthcoming has serious—and chilling—implications.”
But here we are. The administration is not investigating me, and my departmental colleagues have taken down their unwise statement of condemnation. Meanwhile, support keeps pouring in: from undergraduates, graduate students and faculty in my department and across the university; from alumni; from teachers all over the country and beyond; and from people unconnected to academia who are concerned that suppressing speech only makes worse the many problems the U.S. faces.
All this explains why free speech matters—for everyone. The president of Princeton is entitled to express his personal beliefs. So are my colleagues, at least on private websites. And I am particularly impressed with those very few students and alumni who demonstrated courage by writing to me in harsh but thoughtful terms about their objections to my words rather than bullying me quasi-anonymously online. I wish we were not at odds, but how much better it is for people to be permitted to argue than to follow, unthinkingly, the orthodoxy du jour. Free speech and robust debate have prevailed at Princeton.
