Book shaped benches in Bulgaria

There is a reason why they are empty. They are surely the most uncomfortable benches we have ever seen. Not a single person is brave enough to sit on them.

Hidin’ Bidin - Trump fielding roughly five times more reporter questions than Biden since July

President Trump fielded 867 more questions from reporters than Joe Biden over the last two months.

That number is five times the amount of queries that Biden answered between July 19 and Sept. 15, a review of the candidates’ interviews and briefings shows.

Trump answered a total of 1,141 questions from a Washington press corps that he maintains is openly hostile to his administration, while Biden responded to just 274 questions from local networks and liberal cable news channels like CNN and MSNBC.

During the week of Aug. 9, the president took 196 questions from journalists while Biden answered just three.

Biden has repeatedly dodged questions from embeds covering his campaign and rejected “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace’s request for an interview in July after Trump sat for a hard-hitting interrogation with him.

Poll result shows the obvious - most Americans think news coverage is politically slanted

From a report at the link below:

The Gallup/Knight Foundation survey showed 86% of Americans say the media is biased, with 49% of respondents saying there’s “a great deal” of political bias in news coverage, and 37% asserting there’s “a fair amount” of bias.

The findings also showed 69% respondents were more worried about the news sources of other people, while 29% were concerned about the bias in their own news outlet picks.

More than half, 56%, said there was political bias in the news source that they relied on the most, the poll found.

Trusting the media is a partisan issue, the poll found; 71% of Republicans view the media “very” or “somewhat” unfavorably, compared with 22% of Democrats and 52% of independents who said the same.

Minneapolis City Council Members Who Called For Dismantling Police Now Complain There's Not Enough Policing

Just months after the Minneapolis City Council called for “dismantling” the police department in the wake of George Floyd’s death, they are now panicking that there’s not enough policing to deal with the spike in violent crime.

They want the police defunded then they cry because police are not there to combat crime?!

During a recent meeting that was supposed to be a study session on police reform, Democratic council members instead relayed the frustrations they’re hearing from constituents.

"Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police’?” said council member Jamal Osman, reports MPR News. “That is the only public safety option they have at the moment - the Minneapolis Police Department. They rely on Minneapolis Police Department. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen.”

The number of reported violent crimes, like assaults, robberies and homicides are up compared to 2019, according to Minneapolis Police Department crime data. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than were slain in all of last year. Property crimes, like burglaries and auto thefts, are also up. Incidents of arson have increased 55 percent over the total at this point in 2019.

Is this because the Minneapolis City Council is made up of mostly Democrats or made up of mostly idiots? Or both?

A sign that should be on the US Capitol building at all times

The sign is shown enlarged below

The DeLorean DMC-12 automobile

With apologies to Back to the Future fans the DeLorean DMC-12 is said by many to be one of the worst cars of all time.

The DeLorean DMC-12 or, as it’s commonly referred to, simply “The DeLorean,” is a strange animal. On the one hand, it’s nearly universally known and adored (among people who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, at least) as that car from Back to the Future, but on the other, it was literally the only car creator John DeLorean was ever able to sell – and he didn’t even sell that many of them.

The DeLorean was powered by a Peugeot-Renault-Volvo (PRV) 2.85 L (174 cu in) SOHC V6 engine.

With apologies to Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the DeLorean did not leave the factory with a flux capacitor. A flux capacitor was that fictional piece of technology that allows time travel in the science-fiction film series Back to the Future.

The body of the DeLorean was brushed stainless steel and the cars left the factory uncovered by paint or clearcoat.

Over its two-year lifespan, there were only about 9,000 DeLorean DMC-12s ever produced. The car was quite pricey for its time; originally expected to sell for $12,000 (hence its name). However, the DMC-12 ended up costing $25,000 – more than $65,000 today.

DeLorean Motor Cars, Ltd. (DMCL) factory was located in Dunmurry, Belfast, Northern Ireland. DeLorean auto production ended in 1983.

John DeLorean died on March 19, 2005 at age 80.

The resurrected DeLorean Motor Company, transplanted from Northern Ireland to Texas and under new management, has once again opened up its order books.October, 2016.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board Rips Democrats for Purging Black Police Chiefs

From a report at the link below:

Liberals are for progressive values and diversity until they’re not. It’s predictable. It’s outrageous. It’s a bit entertaining.

When it comes to law and order, they’re endorsing the riots. They’re actively spitting in the face of police officers. They want them disarmed. They want to end qualified immunity. They want to reduce the penalties for assaulting police officers.

There is a war on law enforcement, and for black police chiefs—they know this all too well. They’re being purged across the country. Democrats may despise black Republicans, but those in the police force they may hate even more. The irony is thick.

As the Left rails against police for a variety of nonsensical reasons, diversity being one of them, aren’t more black police chiefs a goal? Apparently not. You’ve all seen the videos. If white liberals hurling epithets at black cops doesn’t paint the picture for you, I don’t know what else will. And these clowns at these riots always search out the black cop in the line trying to keep law and order to insult and denigrate.

Do Democrats hate police and blacks equally?
